Chapter 606 Chapter 606 – Sacrifices
“Has it come to this time again…”
Standing still on the mountain peak, Chen Heng was awakened by the aura from the outside world. He couldn’t help but raise his head and look into the distance.
Under his gaze, there seemed to be a golden door slowly opening in the distance. A new world appeared in it, and it was clearly displayed in front of Chen Heng’s eyes.
It was the outside world. It was incomparably bright, and the nomological fluctuations within it were the same. To Chen Heng, it was exceptionally clear.
After a few years, the pa.s.sageway between the outside world and the Sword Tomb seemed to have been opened once again.
However, Chen Heng could not help but frown at this. If he remembered correctly, there was still some distance to five years.
According to the Qionghua Sword Sect, the Sword Tomb could only be opened after five years. However, there were still a few months before five years.
The opening of the Sword Tomb was brought forward? This thought flashed through Chen Heng’s mind. Following that, he raised his head and could not help but look forward, staring at the land.
A rich Gen Qi aura fluctuation appeared on the land in front of him. Following that, a figure appeared. A white-robed young man appeared in the Sword Tomb. He stood there and looked at the Sword Tomb with a faint smile on his face.
“After scheming for so many years, I have finally entered this Sword Tomb…”
The young man looked at the Sword Tomb in front of him with a smile on his face as he said softly.
Behind him, the golden door opened as figures walked out. They were all figures with powerful auras. Each of them had such powerful auras that they had reached the peak of the Spirit Transformation Stage.
Feeling the scene in front of him, Chen Heng secretly frowned. The array gate in front of him was obviously different from the past.
When the Sword Tomb’s door was opened last time, Chen Heng clearly remembered that the cultivation of those who entered was not high. Other than Song Qingruo, there were no other Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators.
But this time, it was far higher. From the beginning of the white-robed young man, none of the people who entered were lower than the Spirit Transformation Stage.
From the terrifying aura of those people, many of them were even above the Spirit Transformation Stage. It was just that in order to enter this Sword Tomb, they forcibly suppressed their cultivation level and were still in the Spirit Transformation Stage.
It was fine if his cultivation level was a little off, but looking at the aura on these people’s bodies, it seemed to be quite good. They didn’t seem to be from the Qionghua Sword Sect but rather were somewhat similar to those cultivators from the Netherworld Sect.
What was going on? Chen Heng secretly frowned and was somewhat unable to make sense of the situation. But it was very clear that the scene in front of him was definitely not ordinary.
It was most likely that something big was about to happen. Various thoughts flashed through Chen Heng’s mind. After thinking for a moment, the aura on his body became increasingly dull and disappeared.
At this moment, Chen Heng had completely restrained his aura. When his aura disappeared, he looked just like an ordinary weapon on the surface.
The other party’s stance looked somewhat terrifying. Chen Heng was also not sure if the other party was coming for him. Even though Chen Heng felt that the probability of that was very small.
In front of him, a stream of Gen Qi was raging and surging in all directions. The white-robed young man stood where he was and felt the surging Gen Qi in the Sword Tomb. He could not help but take a deep breath and was a little intoxicated.
“As expected of the Sword Tomb left behind by the Tengu Sword Sovereign. It is indeed unique.
“Such surging Gen Qi is very rare in the world today.
“We haven’t come to the wrong place.”
He said softly with a faint smile on his face. The next moment, he took a step forward and arrived in front.
His figure quickly disappeared and arrived in another area in just an instant. That was another flat, desolate area. There was sc.r.a.p metal everywhere, and there was no spirituality at all.
Nas
Without a doubt, this area was unique. It was somewhat similar to the area where the Heaven King’s Golden Saber was previously. There was not the slightest trace of any other Sword Spirit.
However, the reason why the area where Chen Heng was previously was like this was because of the long-term suppression of the Heaven King’s Golden Saber in the past.
As for the area in front of him, he did not know what the reason was. After arriving here, the young man felt the faint aura around him, and a nostalgic look appeared on his face.
“This is the place.”
A nostalgic look appeared on his face before he sighed softly, “It took my sect fifty years and such a long time to finally find this place.
“The long-cherished wish of my sect for thousands of years can finally be realized today…”
As he spoke, he waved his hand. A Gen Qi fluctuation was produced, attracting the surrounding runes and producing a huge reaction. Instantly, the ground began to shake, and the Gen Qi in the surroundings began to surge as well. There was an unusual reaction.
In the area in front of him, there was a profound magic formation that concealed the thing underneath. And now, with the young man’s arrival, the magic formation was activated once again, revealing itself once more.
Rays of faint light flickered as they rippled through the area. Vaguely, a terrifying majesty appeared. That aura made one’s heart palpitate instinctively and feel terror.
Following that, the earth shook. The existence that was concealed underneath began to reveal itself, revealing its original appearance.
Those were shockingly corpses. Under the magic formation, corpses appeared one after another. There was an indescribable aura appearing on them.
Compared to ordinary corpses, the corpses in front of him had an unusual aura. The aura on their bodies was different from that of ordinary people. It faintly resonated with the laws of heaven and earth. It was as if they were part of the laws.
“Buddha body, saint body, devil body… a total of eight bodies are gathered here. There’s enough sacrificial here.”
Looking at the corpses under his feet, a faint smile appeared on the young man’s face. He said, “In addition to the sword body’s origin, it should be enough to be used as a sacrifice. Let the Heavenly Weapon awaken.”
As the sound of his voice faded, a group of people walked over from afar. They stepped forward and carried out the person who was tied up.
It was an exquisite-looking woman with a cold aura. It was none other than the number one disciple of the Qionghua Sword Sect, the innate sword body Song Qingruo.
However, compared to usual, Song Qingruo’s aura had changed greatly. At this moment, she no longer had her usual bearing. Her aura seemed to be in a sorry state.
There were many b.l.o.o.d.y wounds all over her body. It was obvious that she was heavily injured.
After being carried out by the crowd, Song Qingruo raised her head with great difficulty and looked at the white-robed young man in front of her. Her eyes were spitting fire as she said, “Huo Changliu, you!”
“Junior Song, why do you care?”
Faced with Song Qingruo’s anger, the young man merely smiled. After which, he lowered his head and spoke in a soft voice, “I’ve always been like this. I hid within the Qionghua Sword Sect for the sake of the Sword Tomb. Junior sister, why do you need to be so angry?”
“For the Sword Tomb?”
Song Qingruo coldly laughed. After which, she stared at the numerous corpses in the pit before her and asked, “What are these corpses of yours?
“You plotted and killed so many Chosen Ones and brought them here to use as sacrifices just to awaken the legendary Heavenly Weapon?”
“What else?”
Huo Changliu smiled and said nonchalantly, “If not, why would I hide in the Qionghua Sword Sect?
“Junior sister, you really surprised me.”
He turned around and looked at Song Qingruo, then, he smiled and said, “I thought that the innate sword body was really rare, even when the world was at its peak. I didn’t expect that there would be another one in the South Mountain.
“Your origin can be ranked in the top three among all the original sources collected.
“Do you know how surprised I was when I saw you?”
A smile appeared on his face as he looked at Song Qingruo in front of him and said softly.
“So, you schemed to become a direct disciple of my Qionghua Sword Sect and even obstructed me when I broke through to the Spirit Transformation Stage, causing me to
fail?”
Song Qingruo’s expression was ice-cold. Her eyes were filled with killing intent as she stared fixedly at Huo Changliu in front of her.
“If not for this, how could I have succeeded so easily?”
Huo Changliu sighed softly and said, “Although the Qionghua Sword Sect is not considered top-tier, it is still one of the five sects of the South Mountain. Under normal circ.u.mstances, it would not have been so easy for me to lay my hands on you.
“Only by joining the Qionghua Sword Sect and gaining your trust would I be able to do so easily. “But since things have already come to this, there is no point in saying anything more. He turned around and looked at Song Qingruo before him. A smile appeared on his face as he said, “Junior Song, please rest a.s.sured. We are in the same sect. I will not take your life.
“It’s just that your sword essence is going to remain.”
Song Qingruo did not say anything. Her eyes were fixed on Huo Changliu.
Even if he would not kill her, given her situation, once she was refined and had the sword essence in her body refined, she could be said to be crippled.
It would be difficult for her to maintain her original cultivation base, but she might also even become a cripple, and she would never be able to set foot on the path of cultivation again.
Huo Changliu’s action was even more unbearable for a Chosen One like Song Qingruo than killing her directly.
However, things had already come to this. The winner takes all. She didn’t say anything and just stared at Huo Changliu. “Where’s Xiao Han?”
“It’s already come to this. Do you still care about him?
“Junior Song, you really care about junior Xiao as always…”
Huo Changliu stood where he was and shook his head when he heard Song Qingruo’s words. Then, he raised his head and said, “I did send someone to kill him.
“Just that I haven’t seen his body.”
