Chapter 223 - Storm Eddy
"Tang Huan?"
The middle-aged man cried out in shock, and his mind was in a daze. After a long while, he could not help but ask, "OP, do you really think that the strange scene was caused by Tang Huan? Maybe a few days ago, a certain high ranking Weapon Refiner or even Weapon Refining Master entered the "Mazy Sword Valley"? "
"How could there be such a coincidence?"
Ge Teng shook his head without even thinking, "This old man has stayed in the Dragon Spring Town for so many years, but I have never seen any high level artifact forging or Weapon Refining Master going to the "Mazy Sword Valley". If someone were to really go, they would definitely come to Dragon Spring Town first to make all sorts of preparations. It"s impossible for us not to know that. "
"That"s true."
The middle-aged man nodded, his face filled with disbelief, "For a small middle stage Weapon Refiner to actually be able to break the record for the highest number of Sword Seal and create such a strange scene in the sky above the Sword Valley, not to mention walking out of the "Mazy Sword Valley", is truly unbelievable."
Ge Teng slowly said: "If this old man is not mistaken, the highest record in the Mazy Sword Valley should be the seventy-two Sword Seal left behind by our Human Clan"s honorable empire"s founder, Mountain River, over a hundred years ago. Since Tang Huan has broken his record, it"s very likely that he has seventy-three or seventy-four Sword Seal."
"You"ll know when you count."
The middle-aged man stared at the distant sky.
Within the huge white sword were sword images of varying sizes. There were many of them, and every sword image there represented a sword stone within the "Mazy Sword Valley".
After counting the number of "Sword Seal" that had caused such a commotion, it was obvious at a glance.
"Seventy-three, seventy-four … Eighty … Ninety … "A hundred …"
"One hundred and ten … "Eight?"
The more they counted, the more shocked Ge Teng and the middle aged man became. When they finished counting the last sword image, the two were already staring blankly like wooden chickens.
… ….
"d.a.m.n it, one …" "108?" Nie Song"s mouth dropped open as he gazed into the distance from where the Sta.r.s.ea Gem was being tapped. After a long while, he couldn"t help but curse.
"Am I dreaming? I must be dreaming! "
Within the Spirit Feather Jewel, Shui Xu mumbled absentmindedly.
Almost at the same time, within the Dragon Spring Town, almost all of the Martial Warriors s took in the scene occurring high up in the sky. Those who did not know the origin of this strange phenomenon were stunned by the boundless sword intent. Those who knew the origin of this strange phenomenon were even more astonished.
Following that, quite a few Martial Warriors woke up from their stupor and began to connect this strange phenomenon to Tang Huan who had just entered the "Mazy Sword Valley".
After all, the person who deserved to be suspected the most was only Tang Huan.
But after everyone clearly counted the number of sword afterimages in the huge sword, their faces were all filled with disbelief and their eyeb.a.l.l.s almost popped out.
There were 108 sword images inside the sword!
One hundred and eight sword images meant a hundred and eight sword stones, and a hundred and eight "Sword Seal!"
It was said that the entire "Mazy Sword Valley" only had a total of one hundred and eight sword stones. As a result, the maximum number of "Sword Seal" that Weapon Refiner could gather was also one hundred and eight.
A single "Sword Seal" could only exist for a mere half a month.
This meant that after condensing the first Sword Seal, the remaining 107 "Sword Seal" must be gathered within the next half a month, in order to cause such a shocking phenomenon.
If Tang Huan was a high level Weapon Refiner, Weapon Refining Master, or even a Weapon Refining Grand Master, that would be fine, but he seemed to be a middle level Weapon Refiner. Ever since the appearance of the "Mazy Sword Valley", something that countless Weapon Refiner of high level and above had never done before, a middle level Weapon Refiner had actually done.
d.a.m.n it, this was a feat no one had ever done before!
At this moment, within the Dragon Spring Town, countless Martial Warriors couldn"t help but curse in their hearts like Nie Song.
At this moment, on the top of a huge tree in the ancient town of Longquan, Lu Chen raised his head and stared blankly at the enormous sword in the sky. After a long while, he finally recovered and shook his head with a smile, shock and joy appearing in his eyes. He softly muttered to himself, "Little fellow, I knew that you wouldn"t die so easily in the "Mazy Sword Valley".
"A hundred years ago, the moment His Sacred Emperor Majesty advanced to a high level Weapon Refiner, he used seventy-two "Sword Seal" to set a record for it. This shocked the world, yet you, who are only a middle level Weapon Refiner, surpa.s.sed the record set by the old Sacred Emperor of a hundred years ago, and even exceeded thirty-six "Sword Seal" by an entire thirty six!"
"With such a record, there will definitely be no one who can break it in the future."
"However, I do not know if this is a blessing or a curse. The people from that place will likely find you soon."
"..."
As time pa.s.sed, the giant sword in the sky did not fade. Instead, it became even more resplendent, making it hard to look at.
In the end, it actually turned into an incomparably bright white light, shooting towards the northeast like a meteor. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace, and caused the people in Dragon Spring Town to be even more bewildered ….
… ….
An incomparably large whirlpool spun at a rapid speed in the vast ocean region between the Origin Continent s and the Tranquil Continent s, covering an area of a hundred kilometers. An abnormally terrifying storm was spinning swiftly in the sky above the sea surface along with this whirlpool, its aura terrifying to the extreme.
Within the Storm Eddy, it was as if the air was shattered into pieces, and the earth-shattering wails spread out for thousands of miles.
The power of the sucking that was born from this Storm Eddy was terrifying to the extreme. Even if it was a thousand miles away, the sea water would still move according to the direction of the vortex. In this vast ocean, let alone a sailboat, even an island would be slowly eroded into nothingness by this vortex.
However, about two thousand kilometers to the west of the Storm Eddy stood a towering mountain. It rushed out of the sea surface like a sharp sword, and pierced the sky.
He looked like an old man sitting cross-legged on the ground. His face was thin and his hair was as white as snow, and it looked as if he was wearing a white robe. His hair was also blown by the sea breeze, but it seemed as if he was frozen in the air the moment he was lifted into the air.
The statue seemed to have merged with the huge rock beneath him, and although the sea breeze whistled by, it stood firmly.
"Buzz!"
But right at this moment, a sword-like sound came out of the sculpture"s body, and from the center of the statue"s brows, a weak white light suddenly flashed out. Surprisingly, it was a sword-shaped mark, and as time pa.s.sed, the white Sword Seal grew brighter and brighter, exceptionally resplendent under the night sky.
"Chi!" After an unknown amount of time, a small white sword ray suddenly shot out from the distant night sky and hit the sculpture"s forehead.
"Buzz!"
A bright light suddenly burst forth, the sound became louder and louder, the statue seemed to be alarmed, and it suddenly opened its eyes, its fixed beard and robe also started to flutter in the sea breeze, as though a person suddenly woke up from a deep slumber...
