Chapter 59: The Divine Sword That Shouldn’t Be Here

He had already signed in today. Even if he found a divine weapon, he would not be rewarded.

Therefore, Lin Ran’s initial plan was to come over and scout the way. After confirming the location of the treasure vault, he would come to sign in tomorrow.

However, when he sensed the incomparably pure surging sword intent in the treasure vault, he instantly changed his mind. By the time he reacted, he was already deep down the stone steps.

Looking up from where he was, he could only see a beam of faint light above his head.

Lin Ran couldn’t help but click his tongue. He was at least 50 meters below the ground, but the stone steps in front of him were still winding down without end.

The walls on both sides of the stone steps were the same as the ones on Mount Sword. They were rough and dry, but there were no cracks at all. It was as if this was a naturally formed cave.

Lin Ran took a deep breath and calmed himself down. With a thought, he summoned the Yin-Yang Sword. With another thought, the black and white sword burned with raging flames!

Holding the Yin-Yang Sword as a torch, Lin Ran activated the Startling Sword Steps and sped up.

Even so, it still took Lin Ran nearly half a minute to finish the journey. Roughly, it was about seven or eight miles.

The sword intent here was already quite turbulent. Lin Ran didn’t even need to deliberately sense it to feel that he was in a storm of sword intent.

Most importantly, these sword intents were filled with intense killing intent. After a while, Lin Ran felt a little anxious. He had to focus all his energy to ensure that he was not affected.

“I wonder who built this place in the first place…”

Lin Ran muttered softly and took a few more steps along the corridor. Then, he was blocked by a stone door.

More precisely, it was more like a wall, because it blended into the surrounding stone wall perfectly without any gaps. Lin Ran recognized it as a door because he saw something familiar on it.

It was a pattern about the size of a table. Although it had been hidden underground for a long time, it still looked quite new.

In the middle of the pattern was a five-pointed star. Each sharp corner was connected to a ring, and inside the ring were strange symbols carved from five-colored gems, looking like totems of some sorts.

Further out were two large circles that covered the entire pentagon. The middle of the two circles was filled with ciphertext. It did not look like the language used in the Heavenly Saint Dynasty.

Lin Ran naturally didn’t know this language, but he knew that it was a Five Elements Array because this array formation was almost identical to the one on Mount Sword’s Demon Subduing Tablet!

There was no pattern on Mount Sword’s Demon Subduing Tablet. However, after Daoist Li passed away, he had strengthened the array formation a few times, so he was familiar with the structure of the array formation.

The only difference was that the operating principles of the two array formations were completely opposite.

The array formation of the Demon Subduing Tablet prevented the things inside from coming out, while the array formation on the stone door prevented the things outside from entering. In other words, this was a lock.

Lin Ran leaned closer and realized that the pattern was made of extremely thin golden threads. He didn’t know what method the craftsman used, but he couldn’t find the finishing point where the threads were connected.

It was as if it was drawn on the stone door with molten metal.

“It seems that this place is indeed related to Mount Sword. I can ask the empress later.”

As Lin Ran thought about this, he put the Yin Yang Sword back into the Divine Sword Technique Manual and replaced it with a wooden sword.

This wooden sword was carved from a peachwood. The tip of the sword was round and the blade was blunt. Even in Lin Ran’s hand, it was not very powerful. Its only use was to activate the Five Elements Array.

“Five Elements Sword Technique— Metal!”

…

Lin Ran slashed out five times, and the five-colored totems on the array formation lit up one after another. Then, with a slight buzz, the entire stone door shattered into dust in front of him!

“What! This door can only be opened one-time?”

Lin Ran subconsciously exclaimed, but in the next second, he was caught off guard. This was because an even more violent and turbulent sword intent surged out from behind the door. Its strength was not inferior to the deepest part of Mount Sword!

Apart from the sword intent, the air was also filled with surging and dense killing intent.

In a daze, Lin Ran felt as if he was transported to a battlefield. Thousands of soldiers and horses were charging crazily like floods and ferocious beasts. The sounds of killing shook the sky, and everywhere he looked was filled with dust.

Sadness, hatred, brutality, killing…

Countless negative emotions surged into his heart in an instant. Although the illusion only lasted for a moment, it still made Lin Ran break out in cold sweat.

He never thought that a real war would be so cruel. Compared to the war in the illusion, the battle he fought to quell King Zhao’s rebellion was nothing!

“As expected of divine weapons from famous generals…”

Lin Ran muttered to himself in shock. After taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down, he bowed respectfully to the stone room and walked in with a serious expression.

The stone room was not very big, about 30 square meters. Dozens of divine swords were stabbed straight into the uneven ground, as if they were arranged in a specific order.

Seeing this scene, Lin Ran suddenly felt a little familiar, as if he had returned to Mount Sword.

Lin Ran looked at the nearest sword.

The shape of this sword was similar to the swords used by the palace guards. However, the body of the sword was emerald green, as if it was carved from high-quality jade. There was a dark red thread running through the sword. It was so exquisite that it did not look like a weapon. Instead, it looked like some kind of handicraft.

This sword looked quite intimidating at first glance, but as long as one sensed it carefully, they would realize that the sword intent on it was not particularly strong. Therefore, Lin Ran did not stare at it for too long. After taking a quick look, he went to study the other divine swords.

However, just studying them took up a lot of Lin Ran’s time. After all, the divine weapons here were different from those in Mount Sword. Each of them had a story.

The sword intents overlapped. In order to determine which was the strongest, Lin Ran had to focus.

After an unknown period of time, Lin Ran finally reached the end of the stone room. There was only one sword left in front of him. Unlike the other divine swords, this sword was embedded in the wall.

At a glance, Lin Ran knew that this sword must be the most special.

Not only because of its special position, but also because he saw two small golden words on the sword: Sacred Abyss.

“Why is it here? That’s not right!”

Lin Ran looked shocked, as if he had seen something unbelievable. He didn’t know much about the famous swords of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty, but the Sacred Abyss Sword happened to be one of them!
