Chapter 375: Myriad Sword Mountain, Sword Tomb
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Spirit Sword Sect, Myriad Sword Mountain.
Myriad Sword Mountain was one of the core areas of the Spirit Sword Sect. Non-core disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect were not allowed to enter.
On the one hand, it was because the Myriad Sword Mountain was the Sword Tomb of the Spirit Sword Sect, which contained the immortal swords left behind by the fallen sword cultivators of the Spirit Sword Sect.
As long as these immortal swords that were specially nurtured by sword cultivators quietly stayed in the sword tomb of the Myriad Sword Mountain for more than a thousand years, they would minimally be a true magic item.
In addition to the high quality of these immortal swords, the sword intent contained in them was also one of the inheritances of the Spirit Sword Sect.
It was not easy for ordinary people to obtain the recognition of these immortal swords. However, it was completely different for the cultivators of the Spirit Sword Sect.
As long as one could learn any Big Dipper sword intent in Spirit Sword Sect, they would be able to find a suitable immortal sword in Myriad Sword Mountain.
What was even more terrifying was that some immortal swords that had existed for a long time could even reach the level of an acquired spiritual item after being nurtured by the sword intent of multiple masters.
The entire Spirit Sword Sect had a ranking of immortal swords, called the Hundred Swords Record.
There were a total of 108 immortal swords in the entire ranking. The last one ranked among them was also an acquired spiritual item.
It could be said that it was precisely because of the existence of the Sword Tomb of the Myriad Sword Mountain that the current Spirit Sword Sect was created.
The name of Spirit Sword Sect also came from this.
However, the relationship between the Sword Tomb and the cultivator of Spirit Sword Sect wasn’t something that the cultivators would blindly take.
To some extent, the two parties were in a symbiotic relationship.
Immortal swords needed to be nurtured by cultivators, and cultivators used immortal swords to fight.
Everyone took what they needed and achieved what they wanted.
If one wanted to enter the Myriad Sword Mountain to choose an immortal sword that suited them, there had always been only one way, and that was to become a direct disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect.
Lu Yuan’s current status was undoubtedly a step further, directly becoming a Sword Master of the Spirit Sword Sect.
Therefore, he was also qualified to enter the Spirit Sword Sect and choose a suitable immortal sword for himself.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, these are the details of the inheritances of our Spirit Sword Sect. Do you understand?”
Lu Yuan looked at Gu Qiuyue and nodded.
The matter was not complicated. He could enter the Sword Tomb in front of him and choose an immortal sword that was suitable for him.
Although it was said that cultivator and immortal sword chose each other, it was unknown what kind of immortal sword recognition one would obtain in the end.
However, such a channel to obtain an acquired spiritual item was enough for many sword cultivators to flock to Spirit Sword Sect.
In other words, a large part of the reason why many sword cultivators joined the Spirit Sword Sect was for the Sword Tomb.
After all, the difficulty of finding an immortal sword that suited him was no different from finding a Dao that suited him.
Neither was something that could be achieved through hard work. It required a certain amount of luck.
It was also because of the existence of the Sword Tomb of the Myriad Sword Mountain that led to the current Spirit Sword Sect becoming the well-deserved leader of sword cultivators, disregarding the heroes.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, although you’re already a Sword Master, there are still some rules that you can’t break.”
“You only have three days to find a suitable immortal sword in the Myriad Sword Mountain. After three days, no matter what the result is, you must leave the Myriad Sword Mountain.”
“This is the rule of the Spirit Sword Sect since ancient times. No one can break it.”
“But before you go in, I can give you some advice.”
“Daoist Gu, please speak.”
“Since the establishment of the Myriad Sword Mountain, almost all the immortal swords have been known.”
“Generally speaking, every cultivator who enters the Myriad Sword Mountain will identify the immortal sword they want in advance.”
“Here is a copy of the Myriad Swords Mountain’s Hundred Swords Record. Fellow Daoist Lu, you can take a look first and decide before entering.”
Lu Yuan took the Hundred Swords Record from Gu Qiuyue and started to open it seriously.
The so-called Hundred Swords Record was actually an introduction to the Hundred Swords.
Of course, this did not mean that there were only these 108 immortal swords in the entire Spirit Sword Sect.
What was recorded in the Hundred Swords Record was the ranking of the immortal swords that were known by the Spirit Sword Sect and were brought out of the Sword Tomb.
The Sword Masters of Spirit Sword Sect unanimously agreed that there might be higher quality immortal swords that are not recorded in the Hundred Swords Records.
Because each of them had entered the Spirit Sword Sect and felt the terrifying sword intent.
However, they had never found the source of the most terrifying sword intent.
Therefore, the number one immortal sword in the Hundred Swords Record had always been a question mark.
No one knew what the ultimate immortal sword was and where it was.
Apart from the immortal sword that was ranked first, almost all the immortal swords that were ranked second onwards had been taken out of Myriad Swords Mountain.
Lu Yuan even saw Xu Wan’er’s sword, Blood Bodhi, in the Hundred Swords Record.
It was said that this sword was a special magic item forged by a Bodhisattva called Blood Heart from an ancient Bodhi tree branch.
Because she lost to a reincarnated sword celestial of Spirit Spirit Sword Sect, she agreed that after she died, she would send this sword to the Myriad Sword Mountain.
The Blood Bodhi was an immortal sword that was supported by both Buddhism and the way of the sword. Only specific cultivators who cultivated both Buddhism and the Way of the Sword could obtain the other party’s recognition.
Before Xu Wan’er appeared, the Blood Bodhi had already been in the Sword Tomb of the Myriad Sword Mountain for five thousand years.
Even such a powerful acquired spiritual item, the Blood Bodhi, was only ranked eleventh in the Hundred Swords Record.
It could be seen that there were many powerful immortal swords in the Sword Tomb of the Myriad Sword Mountain.
However, Lu Yuan encountered trouble with so many immortal swords.
His problem was different from ordinary people. Ordinary people were worried that the immortal sword they liked would not recognize them.
Lu Yuan didn’t worry about this. He was just worried about which immortal sword he should choose.
Thinking about it carefully, the Myriad Sword Mountain had never stipulated that a cultivator could only bring one immortal sword out.
However, most of the time, immortal swords with artifact spirits had their pride.
After discovering that there was already an immortal sword recognising the cultivator as their Master, it would not lower itself to follow the other party.
This was the drawback of subduing magic items and refining magic items.
The magic treasure that he refined himself would not have this problem because it was made from nothing.
In short, a magic treasure with an artifact spirit… also needs to be trained!
Lu Yuan, who thought that he had mastered the Immortal Slaying sword intent, felt that he should have the strength to suppress these immortal swords.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan was suddenly enlightened.
Only children would choose. Adults want everything!
He was now an adult!
After thinking through this, Lu Yuan began to look at the positions of the immortal swords ranked in the top ten.
In the end, he found that five of the top ten immortal swords had been taken away.
Only the third-ranked Crane Dance, the sixth-ranked Five Rays, the seventh-ranked Myriad Mountains, and the tenth-ranked Broken Corpse Eye were still in the Sword Yomb.
As for the number one immortal sword, it was not recorded in the Hundred Swords Record, and Lu Yuan was not sure if he could encounter it.
In this way, Lu Yuan’s goal was clear.
His goal in entering the Myriad Sword Mountain this time was these four immortal swords.
If he could bring all four immortal swords out, it would definitely improve his current strength by a lot!
