Li Chengfeng excitedly followed the Grand Senior Brother through the long canyon, and arrived at the deepest part of the Thousand Swords Mountain, the Valley of Thousand Swords.
Li Chengfeng had imagined this place countless times last night, but it had never shocked him as much as it did in front of him!
Instead of calling this a valley, it was more like another world. This place seemed to be isolated from the rest of the world. Li Chengfeng looked up, and above his head was a huge and dark sky. This sky was like a resplendent galaxy, with stars twinkling in it. What shocked Li Chengfeng was that in this bright galaxy, there were countless different kinds of swords slowly swimming in the galaxy. They gathered together, like a giant sleeping dragon drifting in the galaxy.
Li Chengfeng looked over, this' giant dragon 'was extremely majestic, it was hundreds of meters long. It slowly swam, and when the swords swam in the air, they collided with each other, producing a series of metallic clangs. The clangs were so many and so dense that it sounded like the sound of waves.
Beneath the canopy of the sky, there were many sword tombs. These tombs were densely packed and stretched out, causing the entire valley to look like it was riddled with potholes. It was a terrifying sight. The air in the Valley of 10,000 Swords was filled with a murderous and deathly stillness.
"So this is the Valley of Thousand Swords?"
Li Chengfeng was shocked, both by the dazzling starry sky and the floating sword dragon in the sky, and also by the countless spirits of the Hidden Sword Court's sword mounds on the ground.
"This is the final resting place of every senior of Hidden Sword Court …" The Grand Senior Brother looked at everything in front of him with a complicated gaze, "One day, I will also be buried here, and the Heaven Splitter Sword in my hands … will also return to the Dragon of Thousand Swords."
Li Chengfeng looked at the Grand Senior Brother, and said very seriously, "No, you won't!"
The Grand Senior Brother was stunned, and then he burst out in anger, "Do you think I'm not worthy?!"
The Grand Senior Brother saw everything in Hidden Sword Court as his life, and to be buried in the Valley of Thousand Swords after his death was the greatest glory. Li Chengfeng's words had really hit his sore spot, and he was furious.
Li Chengfeng's face showed no fear, and he said seriously, "If you die too, then it means that Hidden Sword Court is completely finished!
At that time, who will collect your bones? Who will build a monument for you? "
Grand Senior Brother stared at Li Chengfeng, the anger in his eyes gradually dissipating, replaced by an incomparably heavy pain and sorrow. He took a deep breath, pointed to a high platform at the highest point of the valley, and said, "Go there, that's the closest place to the Dragon of Ten Thousand Swords. When the ten thousand swords pass by, find a sword that belongs to you."
Li Chengfeng did not understand. "But there are so many swords, how do we know which one to choose?"
Grand Senior Brother turned his back to Li Chengfeng and said, "It's the sword that chooses you, not the other way around. When your Sword of Destiny passes by you, the sword will automatically fly to you."
Li Chengfeng nodded thoughtfully. However, after some thought, he still wanted to get to the bottom of the matter. "But is this sword psychic?
How does it know if I'm suitable for it? "
Grand Senior Brother said, "Every sword has a remnant of its previous owner's sword spirit and sword intent. The owner of the sword attaches his sword intent and soul to the sword, turning it into a magical weapon. Then, it has a soul. Although it can't think, to it, fighting has already become an instinct. It can feel the unique aura on your body, and the closer you are to its previous owner, the more it will choose you."
Li Chengfeng asked again, "But what if there are several swords that choose the same person at the same time?"
Grand Senior Brother sneered and said, "Then pick one that you like …" After saying that, he moved and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already more than ten meters below the valley, in a row of graves.
Li Chengfeng focused his eyes and could barely see a stone tablet on the first grave. On it, the words' Grave of the Heavenly Thirteen Swords' were engraved. However, when Li Chengfeng scanned the area, he only saw twelve graves.
Big Senior Brother took out a bottle of wine and poured a little on the ground. He sat in front of the grave mound and drank his wine while staring blankly at the tombstone of the Heavenly Thirteen Swords. He did not move an inch.
Li Chengfeng retracted his gaze and exchanged glances with the excited Xiaobao and Yuehan. The three of them walked along the small path between the burial mounds, towards the highest stone platform.
After walking for a while, the three of them arrived at a spacious stone platform surrounded by chains. They realised that this stone platform was at the highest point of the valley, and it looked like an outstretched arm. The Swimming Dragon Sword passed under the platform, and when they looked down, they could see the various types of swords in the Dragon of Ten Thousand Swords.
"Young Master, can I pick one too?" Xiaobao's eyes lit up, his face full of excitement.
Li Chengfeng looked at Grand Senior Brother at the bottom of the valley and smiled. "Go ahead. If there really is a sword that chooses you, then it's God's will. I don't think Grand Senior Brother will be able to say anything."
Xiaobao rubbed his hands together excitedly, blowing air into his mouth as he muttered, "Heavens, heavens, earth, heavens …"
Before he could finish, Li Chengfeng slapped him on the head. "Don't learn from the good, only the bad. Do you think this is a Big or Small casino?"
Xiaobao hugged his head, looking wronged. "Isn't this about the same?
This is worse than a Big or Small casino!
A Big or Small casino has at least a fifty percent chance of winning, but this is one in ten thousand! "
Li Chengfeng shook his head and said meaningfully, "No, it's either a hundred percent or zero percent!"
Xiaobao was shocked. "What does that mean?"
Yuehan said impatiently, "You're so stupid. What it means is, if there's a sword that chooses you, then there'll be one in ten thousand. If there's none, then it's useless even if there's another hundred thousand!"
Xiaobao pursed his lips. "Isn't that still a Big or Small casino?"
As he spoke, he walked to the edge of the stone platform. He carefully stood at the edge and looked down, only to see that the Dragon of Ten Thousand Swords just happened to pass by below. The sound of countless swords colliding with each other rang out, making people feel that if they fell down, they would definitely be instantly minced into meat paste by these countless sharp swords!
Xiaobao turned to look at Li Chengfeng and asked, "Young Master, how should I choose?"
Li Chengfeng said, "Don't rush, let's wait and see."
The three of them waited for a while. The Dragon of Ten Thousand Swords passed by the bottom of the platform and began to roll upwards. It turned its head and began to move towards the top of the platform.
Xiaobao watched as the Dragon of Ten Thousand Swords roared and rolled towards him. For a moment, he felt fear and excitement. He stood uneasily, looking at the Dragon of Ten Thousand Swords, then at Li Chengfeng.
"Young Master, what should I do?!" Xiaobao was anxious.
Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "Don't rush. Look at how slow it is. Even if it comes over, it's not too late to run."
The Dragon of Ten Thousand Swords moved very slowly in the air. It was even slower than a human walking.
Hearing Li Chengfeng's words, Xiaobao immediately calmed down. When he waited for the Dragon of Ten Thousand Swords to come over, he discovered that this' giant dragon 'seemed to be able to pass right above his head.
Xiaobao carefully crouched down slightly. He raised his head and watched as the incomparably large Dragon of Ten Thousand Swords roared past his head. A piercingly cold and murderous aura surged towards him.
Xiaobao saw that when the Dragon of Ten Thousand Swords passed above his head, its speed was so slow that it looked like it was wriggling. He saw that one of the swords was especially exquisite, so he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to touch it.
With this touch, the giant Dragon of Ten Thousand Swords shook in an instant. Immediately after, a cold light suddenly shot out from the dragon's body and shot towards the sky. Then, like a sharp arrow, it descended from the sky and landed in front of Xiaobao.
"I … I have a sword?" Xiaobao couldn't believe his eyes. "There's really a sword that chose me?"
Li Chengfeng was also shocked. "There's really one?
This sword isn't picky at all! "
Yuehan's eyes were sharp. She said, "This sword … why does it look so beautiful and delicate?"
Xiaobao stretched out his hand to pull it out. When he pulled it out, he discovered that it was indeed an extremely rare double-headed sword. The decibels were on the top and bottom of the sword, with the handle in the middle. The entire sword was two feet long and an inch wide. The sword's body was curved like a wave, with the curvature of the top and bottom completely opposite, but it was perfectly symmetrical. Half of the sword's body was indigo blue, while the other half was emerald green.
It was beautiful, like a peerless beauty, graceful and exquisite. At this moment, Grand Senior Brother's voice came from below. "This is the sword of Jiang Lingbo, one of the few female cultivators in Hidden Sword Court. It's called the Zimu Lightning Sword."
"Huh?" Xiaobao was stunned.
Li Chengfeng, on the other hand, held his stomach and laughed. "Xiaobao, Xiaobao, I told you that you were born in the wrong body!
Now even a sword thinks so!
You've been picked by a woman's sword. Xiaobao, this is your fate!
Aiyo, I'm dying of laughter! "
Yuehan also started giggling. Xiaobao's handsome face, on the other hand, pulled a long face. Embarrassed and annoyed, he threw the Zimu Lightning Sword in his hand towards the Dragon of Ten Thousand Swords. "F * ck your mother's sword!"
