There really was a sword in the Xuan Yuan Sword Box!
The first thing I saw was a sword hilt!
At the bottom of the sword hilt, there was a square, transparent stone embedded there. There was a faint light flickering inside, as though there was a living creature swimming inside.
The main body of the sword hilt, which was the sword stem, was a yellow cylinder. On the cylinder, there were countless protrusions, as though there were inscriptions carved on them. Outside the inscriptions, there was a five-clawed divine dragon. On the divine dragon's body, there were three large characters, which were exactly the same as the three words on the sword box, 'Xuan Yuan Sword'.
Further up, the divine dragon's head formed a guard and the sword's handle. The dragon opened its mouth, and a bright yellow long sword came out of the dragon's mouth …
This was one of the ten great ancient divine weapons, the Xuan Yuan Sword!
My heart was pounding. I knew that after it swallowed the sword stone, the Xuan Yuan Sword Box would definitely change, but I didn't expect it to open completely and reveal the Xuan Yuan Sword!
Previously, the sword box had only revealed a small gap, and it could shoot out such a powerful sword light. Now that the Xuan Yuan Sword was completely revealed, how powerful would it be?
I was excited as I reached into the Xuan Yuan Sword Box and slowly grabbed the sword hilt.
The first thing that touched the sword hilt was the tip of my middle finger. The moment I touched it, a brilliant aura rushed over, causing my entire body to shake. It was as though a tall figure with his feet on the ground and his head in the sky appeared in front of me.
The figure seemed to be very far away from me, but it also seemed to be in front of me. I couldn't see his face clearly, but I could feel that he was looking at me.
His gaze seemed to carry the power of the heavens, and I couldn't breathe.
In an instant, my body, which hadn't sweated in a long time, was drenched in sweat.
Under such pressure, my body couldn't move at all!
I didn't know how much time had passed, but the figure seemed to turn his head and glanced at Little Ah Mo, and then suddenly disappeared.
Just as I wanted to take a breath, a bright yellow light suddenly shot out from the Xuan Yuan Sword.
This light was similar to the sword light that shot out from the sword stone. It carried a sharp power that could pierce through heaven and earth, and it spread out in all directions.
This time, the light was much faster than the sword light from the sword stone. It was so fast that I couldn't react at all. The moment I saw the light, I felt as though it had pierced through my body, and there was a sharp pain from many parts of my body.
My heart instantly turned cold. My first thought was that I had been hurt by the Xuan Yuan Sword. I quickly lowered my head to check, but I was surprised to find that there were no wounds on my body. After the light shone on me, it just passed through my body, leaving a sharp pain.
I was shocked. My first thought was that I had been hurt by the Sword. I lowered my head to check, but I didn't get hurt.
He was still a child. Even if the light didn't hurt him, the pain alone was unbearable.
Unexpectedly, Little Ah Mo's current situation was completely different from mine. The light also found his body, but it didn't pass through him like I did. Instead, it stopped on his body!
It wasn't just the light that shone on him. The light also found his body, but it didn't pass through him like I did. Instead, it stopped on him!
It wasn't just the light that shone on him. The light from other directions seemed to be attracted too. It turned around and shone on him through the rain.
This was the light emitted by the Xuanyuan Sword, and it was absorbed into his body. If it wasn't great misfortune, then it was great fortune!
That was the light from the Xuan Yuan Sword, and he was absorbing it into his body. If it wasn't bad luck, then it was good luck!
Little Ah Mo closed his eyes and stood there blankly. There was no expression on his face, and I couldn't see any joy or pain.
I didn't care about the pain on my body, and just stared at him without blinking.
Little Ah Mo finally opened his eyes.
His eyes were filled with confusion, as though he didn't know what had happened.
However, I heaved a sigh of relief, and joy surged in my heart.
Little Ah Mo couldn't see it himself, but I saw it. When he opened his eyes, a yellow sword light flashed in his pupils, and the aura of his cultivation jumped from the Dragon Seeking Realm to the Acupuncture Point Realm.
It might seem like the increase in realm was not that high, but in reality, the advancement from the Dragon Seeking Realm to the Acupuncture Point Realm was related to the opening of the acupoints on the eight extraordinary meridians. At this stage, all cultivators needed to use their own cultivation to attack the acupoints, opening them and entering the Acupuncture Point Realm.
However, Little Ah Mo wasn't like that. His acupoints were opened by the Xuan Yuan Sword's sword energy!
Using my spiritual sense, I've already sensed that every acupoint in his meridians carries the aura of the Xuanyuan Sword … What's more terrifying is that the sword aura of the Xuanyuan Sword has opened four of his eight extraordinary meridians!
In the cultivation world, opening four meridians during the Acupuncture Point Realm was considered a top-notch talent.
So, Little Ah Mo was the same as me, with four top-notch meridians.
In addition, he was born with a sword embryo physique, so his talent could be said to be extremely strong.
With just a natural sword embryo, he would definitely be able to condense a sword true spirit within sixty years and become a Yang God. Now, with the Xuan Yuan Sword's aura and four top-notch meridians, Little Ah Mo's future was simply unimaginable!
Little Ah Mo still didn't know what had happened. After I understood, I didn't tell him and only smiled at him.
Sometimes, being too talented might not be a good thing, so I decided not to tell him about this for now. Otherwise, it would cause him harm if he became careless during his cultivation.
After thinking about it, I temporarily put this matter aside and retracted my gaze. I calmed down slightly and reached out to grab the Xuan Yuan Sword firmly in my hand!
It wasn't as heavy as I had imagined. The Xuan Yuan Sword was as heavy as an ordinary sword. It was neither light nor heavy in my hand, and it was very comfortable.
However, when I lowered my head to look at it, whether it was the countless inscriptions on the hilt or the light on the sword, my eyes seemed to sink into it. Even my mind was in a trance.
It seemed that with my current strength, I couldn't look at it for a long time.
I hurried to move my eyes away and held the Xuan Yuan Sword, swinging it a few times. I didn't feel anything strange.
However, the Xuan Yuan Sword wasn't meant to be swung. If I wanted to exert its power, I had to pour my Dao energy into it.
Unfortunately, when I was fighting with Zhao Hao, I had used up all the Dao energy in my body. I hadn't recovered yet, so I couldn't pour it into the Xuan Yuan Sword to test its power.
At this moment, Officer Wang, Ah Fu, and the others appeared in the small temple. I guessed they had finished dealing with Daoist Huang Zhu's body.
Seeing them, I put the Xuan Yuan Sword back into the sword case and Xiangliu's leather pouch.
Officer Wang came quickly and gave me a gray clay jar. He didn't say anything, but I understood that the jar contained Daoist Huang Zhu's ashes.
I called Ah Mo and gave him the clay jar. Ah Mo took the clay jar and didn't say anything. He just bit his lip and put the clay jar on the ground in the direction of the small temple. Then, he knelt and respectfully kowtowed three times.
After he finished kowtowing, I sighed and said to Officer Wang, "All right, it's late. Let's go back first."
Officer Wang took my order and left with Ah Fu.
Since it was already dark and raining, I picked up Ah Mo and followed Officer Wang at full speed. Shortly after, we returned to the Wangwu Grotto-Heaven.
Daoist Huang Zhu had entrusted Ah Mo to me. I should take him with me, but I was anxious to go back and study the Xuan Yuan Sword. Moreover, Ah Mo would be safer with Officer Wang than with me.
I thought for a while and asked Officer Wang to take Ah Mo back first and arrange a place for him to stay. Then, I quickly returned to the small Taoist palace where I was temporarily staying.
When I returned, the fatty was sitting cross-legged in the rain by the Spirit Lake outside the Taoist palace. He was cultivating with his eyes closed.
He seemed to be at a critical juncture in his cultivation. When he saw me, he didn't talk to me.
I was anxious to restore my Dao energy, so I walked over and sat next to him. I closed my eyes and adjusted my breathing for a while. Then, I began to absorb the overflowing True Dragon Qi from the Spirit Lake.
The Spirit Lake was formed by the intersection of the four True Dragon Veins. The Dragon Qi in it was extremely dense. As I swallowed it, it didn't take long for the Dao energy in my body to be completely replenished.
