Chapter 103: The Reward for the Compet.i.tion! Sword Seeking at the Sword Tomb!
The next morning, Heavenly Sword Mountain.
“Two foundation establishment pills? Earth-grade spiritual weapon?”
Victor was very surprised when he received the news from the messenger of Heavenly Sword Mountain.
These two items were the reward for the first place in the compet.i.tion. Logically, the foundation establishment pills would only be given to him when he broke through to the peak of the foundation establishment realm. He didn’t expect to receive them now.
With the foundation establishment pill, Victor would be able to smoothly step onto the path of immortal cultivation!
Furthermore, he had two.
This way, his master Zhang Lingren could also enter the path of immortal cultivation.
Thinking that after he reached the foundation establishment realm, he could learn foundation establishment realm spells, Victor’s heart beat faster.
“Yes, you can go with me to the Spirit Tool Pavilion of the Heavenly Sword Mountain right now and pick a suitable Earth-grade spirit weapon. The guardian elder is already waiting for you,” the person who pa.s.sed the message said respectfully.
The Spirit Tool Pavilion of the Heavenly Sword Mountain was located at the Sword Forging Peak.
Although the combat strength of the disciples of the Sword Forging Peak and the Spirit Spell Peak were relatively average.
However, their positions on the Heavenly Sword Mountain were very important. The resources allocated to the two sects every year were not much less than the resources allocated to the Sword Control Peak and the Molten Spirit Peak.
The spirit tools used by the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Mountain were basically swords. 90% of them were made by the elders and disciples of the Sword Forging Peak. As for the cultivation spells, spirit gathering spells, and the mountain protecting spells, they were all made by the elders and disciples of the Spirit Spell Peak.
There was an interdependent relationship between the seven peaks of the Heavenly Sword Mountain. This was also the reason why the Heavenly Sword Mountain could maintain a delicate balance for thousands of years despite the internal conflicts.
After Victor came to the Spirit Tool Pavilion, an elder in a red robe was already waiting there.
He was the outer sect elder of the Sword Forging Peak, Chen Xuan. His cultivation was at the early stage of the foundation establishment realm.
With his age, unless he swallowed heavenly materials and earthly treasures, the possibility of him reaching the middle stage of the foundation establishment stage in his lifetime was close to zero.
In terms of combat strength, he was also one of the lower levels among the foundation establishment cultivators. However, he wasn’t too interested in those combat techniques anyways.
Instead, he was focused on refining artifacts. Therefore, the spirit artifacts that he had forged were all very good.
Seeing Victor flying over on a spirit beast.
Chen Xuan laughed from afar, “Haha, Junior Brother Victor, I have been waiting for you for a long time.”
Victor’s ident.i.ty could be said to be extremely popular in the Heavenly Sword Mountain. Although Chen Xuan was an elder, he still had to treat Victor with all kinds of respect.
“Greetings, elder.” Victor cupped his fists and saluted.
Seeing Victor being so polite, Chen Xuan was in a good mood. He said, “Junior Brother Victor, follow me. I will take you to pick a suitable low-grade Earth-grade spiritual artifact. As long as you like it, you can pick anything.”
High-grade Xuan-grade spirit weapons were already very precious. Only early-stage foundation establishment blacksmiths could forge them.
As for low-grade earth-grade spirit weapons, only mid-stage foundation establishment or even late-stage foundation establishment blacksmiths could forge them.
Moreover, there was a very low success rate. Even the Heavenly Sword Mountain’s Spirit Tool Pavilion didn’t have many in stock.
Among them, the top-grade spirit weapons, such as the Zhang family’s black blade, could even make late-stage foundation establishment cultivators envious.
Without further delays, Chen Xuan took out a pentagonal key from his storage ring and pressed it on the array plate next to the door of the Spirit Tool Pavilion.
With a rumbling sound, the door of the Spirit Tool Pavilion slowly opened.
As the door opened, a pitch-black s.p.a.ce appeared, and the murderous aura from the weapons gushed out. This was the cold and murderous aura that had been acc.u.mulated in the armory for many years.
“Junior Brother Victor, what kind of spirit weapon do you want to see?”
“Sword!”
Victor said without hesitation.
Now that he would be fighting against a cultivator, the opponent’s spirit weapon would at least be a high-grade Xuan-grade, and it would one be of the best among the spirit weapons of that grade. It wouldn’t be far from an Earth-grade spirit weapon.
Although after being nourished by his own spiritual power and the tempering of his sword intent, the Qingfeng Sword had already left the ordinary grade. It could be considered a Yellow-grade spirit weapon.
However, after the battle with Qin Yu, even with the protection of Victor’s spiritual power, there were still many battle scars on the Qingfeng Sword.
In this kind of battle, the Qingfeng Sword seemed physically weak.
If they met an even stronger opponent in the future. Perhaps the Qingfeng Sword would be directly cut off.
“Okay, follow me.”
Chen Xuan brought Victor through rows of weapon racks and finally walked to a wall. He turned the device and the wall flipped. There was a s.p.a.ce of 100 feet square inside.
Ten rows of simple and plain weapon racks were filled with all kinds of long swords.
Some were black, some were silver, and some looked cold. A malicious killing intent struck their faces, causing the surrounding temperature to drop by several degrees.
“It’s all here,” said Chen Xuan.
Suddenly seeing so many spirit swords, Victor took a deep breath.
Every swordsman wanted a good sword, and Victor was no exception. Many cultivators even had the hobby of collecting famous swords, even if they could only use one.
There were hundreds of spirit swords, including long swords, short swords, and thin swords. Many complicated types could be seen.
However, Victor was slightly disappointed as he looked at them along the way. The grade of these spirit swords was lower than the other weapons outside. Most of them were middle-grade Xuan-grade, while the high-grade Xuan-grade only occupied one row of the weapon racks.
As for the Earth-grade treasure swords, there were only three of them.
Chen Xuan saw through Victor’s thoughts and said, “Because the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Mountain mostly practice swords, especially the Sword Control Peak.
“Therefore, the artifact masters of the Sword Forging Peak has been painstakingly refining swords for generations, but the Heavenly Sword Mountain still doesn’t have enough good swords.
“Now, most of the swords here are made by sect disciples. After six hundred years of acc.u.mulation, they have gathered the sword in this room.
“If you want to pick a low-grade Earth-grade sword, there are only three. To be honest, these three swords are indeed of average quality among the low-grade Earth-grade spiritual weapons.”
In other words, these swords were all leftovers?
Victor took out these three swords to have a look and casually wielded them. It felt worse than his own Qingfeng Sword, which was unacceptable.
Seeing Victor’s obvious dissatisfaction with these three swords, Chen Xuan said, “Junior Brother Victor, actually, I have a suggestion. Junior Brother Victor, why don’t you go to the sword tomb? The sword tomb happens to be at the Sword Forging Peak.”
Hearing Chen Xuan’s words, Victor’s heart moved.
Sword tomb?
It was said that when the owner of the sword was on the verge of death, he couldn’t bear to see the sword covered in dust, so he placed it in the sword tomb, waiting for the fated person to come and take it.
However, the sword tomb’s famous sword was not something that could be taken at will. One had to obtain the recognition of the sword before they could obtain the ownership of the sword.
However, Victor had confidence in himself and immediately agreed to Elder Chen Xuan’s suggestion.
When he had first chosen the sword as his weapon, it was a careful selection among hundreds of weapons. The decision wasn’t made on a whim.
Moreover, many cultivation techniques could be used on a sword. After all, the sword could be considered the most common weapon.
Victor had a wood-type heavenly spirit root and had obtained the power of nature. A wood-type spiritual sword was the most suitable for him.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the sword tomb.
Looking at the pitch-black cave in front of them, Victor thought for a moment and said, “Elder Chen, does it mean that this sword belongs to me as long as I could pull out the sword?”
“Yes, that’s right. When you pull out that sword, you will be recognized by this sword. Besides, you can only choose one sword.” Chen Xuan nodded and said.
