Chapter 601 Chapter 601 – The Curtain Fell
Leaving the Sword Tomb was not beneficial to Chen Heng. On the contrary, there were many things that could be gained from the Sword Tomb.
There were spiritual weapons everywhere in the Sword Tomb. Many of them were made of special materials. These were the things that Chen Heng needed the most.
According to Chen Heng’s information from Xiao Han and the others, this sword tomb was created by the Tengu Sword Sovereign.
There were countless weapons in this sword tomb. Other than the weapons that this Sword Tomb created, there were also many of them that the Tengu Sword Sovereign himself created.
According to legends, the Tengu Sword Sovereign collected countless Heavenly Weapons when he was alive. Some of these Heavenly Weapons were forged by the Tengu Sword Sovereign himself, while others originated from the enemies of the Tengu Sword Sovereign.

But without exception, these were all Heavenly Weapons with great potential. These Heavenly Weapons were scattered throughout the entire Sword Tomb. They were nurtured within the unique environment of the Sword Tomb, becoming stronger and stronger. To Chen Heng, these Heavenly Weapons were the best target. The Heavenly Weapons of this world were very special.
In this world, ordinary cultivators were fine, but if they were Heavenly Weapons that had pa.s.sed the war, there would be the Power of Laws of this world on them.
This Power of Laws was bestowed by heaven and earth. It was the blessing of heaven and earth, and it also originated from the tempering of the war.
Of course, the power of law in ordinary Heavenly Weapons might be extremely weak. But no matter what, this was also the Power of Laws. In the World of G.o.ds, the Power of Laws was something that only existences above Legends had the right to peek at.
No matter how weak it was, it would not change its lofty nature. To Chen Heng, these Heavenly Weapons also had a very strong attraction. If he could swallow them one by one, he would undoubtedly be able to use the fastest speed to strengthen himself, allowing Chen Heng’s strength to recover or even improve a step further.
The Power of Laws that originated from this world was extremely precious even to Chen Heng’s main body. Because of this, Chen Heng had no intention of leaving the Sword Tomb.
After all, if he left this environment specially designed for cultivating weapons, it would not be easy to find those Heavenly Weapons that carried the Power of Laws.
Various thoughts flashed through Chen Heng’s mind, and then he quietly hid. Once he sensed the auras of the cultivators outside, his body began to change.
The originally glazed sword became even more concealed. On the sword’s surface, layers of thick copper rust emerged, covering the entire long sword.
After hiding himself, Chen Heng now looked exceptionally ordinary, no different from the ordinary weapons around him. He was even more tattered than the ordinary weapons.
After all, most of the ordinary weapons around him still had a decent appearance, unlike Chen Heng, who looked like he was about to fall apart. It was highly unlikely that someone could still find him out in this appearance.
After all, there were just too many weapons in this Sword Tomb. Even if the group of cultivators from the Netherworld Sect were determined and prepared to empty all the weapons in this area, they needed to be able to carry them.
The storage bag was a good thing, but not everyone in this world could have it. According to previous observations, only cultivators above the Spirit Transformation Stage were qualified to have it. Moreover, its capacity was not optimistic.
As for the others? There was no need to think about it.
Chen Heng found a place with peace of mind. Then, he sank into silence, sinking into a deep level of transformation. After that, all external senses were destroyed and disappeared.
All of Chen Heng’s mysticism was completely covered up in this state. In addition to the changes in his appearance, even if Xiao Han had come previously and stood in front of Chen Heng at this moment, he probably would not be able to detect Chen Heng.
If Xiao Han, who had come into contact with Chen Heng for a long time and sensed his aura, could not detect him, it was more unlikely for people in front of him.
Unless they had met a dead rat, the probability of these people finding Chen Heng was not much different from winning the lottery.
Soon, a full five days pa.s.sed. A strange movement came from the entire Sword Tomb on a certain day.
A Gen Qi reaction appeared in the distance and spread across the area. Although it was concealed, it was still detected by others.
“Is the time up?”
Sensing Gen Qi’s strange movement, the old man, still searching the area, turned around with an unwilling expression as he looked in a certain direction.
From his senses, the aura from the outside world appeared clearly. It was a trace that came from the outside world. In the distance, it was as if an array gate had opened. Someone was walking out of the Sword Tomb and leaving this place.
If nothing went wrong, it should be Xiao Han and Song Qingruo. The two of them had already left the Sword Tomb and returned to the base where the Qionghua Sword Sect was located.
This meant that the time was up. In the outside world, the Qionghua Sword Sect had already opened the gate and was ready to bring back the disciples of the Qionghua Sword Sect, who were still in the sword tomb.
“The time is much earlier than expected. There should still be half a month left…”
Sensing the opening of the array gate, the old man’s expression was a little ugly. “Is it because the aura of the Heavenly Weapon made the people in the outside world notice something unusual?”
The commotion caused by Chen Heng’s awakening earlier was very big. Even the entire Sword Tomb was shaking as if it was about to collapse. Such a huge commotion might have alerted the Qionghua Sword Sect in the outside world and had them start the welcoming process in advance to ensure that nothing would happen to their disciples.
From the perspective of the Qionghua Sword Sect, this was a very reasonable thing to do. After all, among the disciples of the Qionghua Sword Sect this time, there was Song Qingruo, the number one disciple of the Qionghua Sword Sect.
The other disciples were somewhat expandable, but if anything happened to Song Qingruo in the sword tomb, the entire Qionghua Sword Sect would suffer a severe loss.
With such importance placed on her, it was normal for them to activate the array formation ahead of time.
However, this undoubtedly messed up the old man’s plan. Standing on the spot and feeling the throbbing Gen Qi in the distance, the old man felt somewhat unwilling, but in the end, he had no choice but to sigh and silently make a decision.
‘I have to leave…’.
This thought flashed through his mind as he looked at the area with some nostalgia.
During this period, he led the cultivators of the Netherworld Sect to search this area.
They had also obtained quite a bit of harvest in the five days. They had even found some weapons suspected to be the ancient sword from back then.
However, no one was sure if they had found the Heavenly Weapon from back then. After all, if the Heavenly Weapon did not show its majesty, who would be able to identify it?
They could only use the old method to try it out one by one. The area in front of them was only so big. If there was enough time, the old man was confident that he could search the entire area and find the Heavenly Weapon from before.
However, there was no time. The Qionghua Sword Sect’s receiving array had already been activated. When they knew what had happened in this Sword Tomb, they would send many people in to kill the disciples of the Netherworld Sect.
The Netherworld Sect might not be inferior to the Qionghua Sword sect in terms of strength. However, this was the Qionghua Sword Sect’s territory after all.
If they were to compete in numbers, they would not be able to match up with the other party. To avoid any accidents, it was better to retreat.
The old man sighed in his heart, and then this thought flashed through his mind. Not long after, he ordered his men to issue an order. Without much hesitation, he directly left with his men.
After all, the cultivators of the cult of the Netherworld Sect had left, just as the old man had expected. Not long after, several more auras appeared in the Sword Tomb.
These auras came from the cultivators of the Qionghua Sword Sect. At this moment, all of them were filled with killing intent, and each of them was at least in the Spirit Transformation Stage.
They had learned about what had happened in the Sword Tomb from Song Qingruo and Xiao Han, so they deliberately entered the sword tomb to seek an explanation from the disciples of the Netherworld Sect.
Unfortunately, they could only see the empty Sword Tomb when they entered the Sword Tomb.
“There’s a fluctuation of Gen Qi. The thieves have already left!”
“At least they ran fast!”
The Qionghua Sword Sect elders who entered the sword tomb were indignant. Their eyes were spitting fire as they sensed the thick b.l.o.o.d.y stench in the Sword Tomb.
Entering the Sword Tomb to search for a magical treasure was considered a special privilege and fortuitous encounter in the entire Qionghua Sword Sect.
In other words, the disciples who were able to partic.i.p.ate in this trip to the Sword Tomb were mostly the elites of the younger generation of the Qionghua Sword Sect or even the descendants of some of the elders present.
But now, these elites were being slaughtered by the disciples of the Netherworld Sect in the Sword Tomb. Who knew how many of them had been killed or injured.
No matter how one looked at it, this huge loss made people angry.
Unfortunately, at this point, facing such a messy situation, they had no other choice. They could only silently clean up the mess and search all over the place, trying their best to find the surviving disciples of the Qionghua Sword Sect.
After searching, they wanted to try their luck in the direction Song Qingruo had pointed out and see if they could find the ancient Heavenly Weapon that could shake the Sword Tomb.
Although they had not seen the scene in the Sword Tomb before, they could still feel the terrifying aura even though they were in the outside world. They knew that there was a great opportunity here.
Combined with the experiences of Song Qingruo and Xiao Han, they understood the existence of the ancient sword. Even the Qionghua Sword sect could not sit still in the face of such a Heavenly Weapon. They immediately prepared to send people to search for it.
Unfortunately, in just two short days, the surrounding area was filled with the power of vibration. The surrounding s.p.a.ce began to change, and a faint sense of repulsion emerged, instinctively repelling these creatures.
“The Sword Tomb is beginning to repel us. is the time already up?”
“Is it because we opened the array ahead of time, causing the time to be brought forward, or is it because of that group of Netherworld Sect Thieves?”
