Revenge began with the Illusory Yin Martial Marquis.
Back then, the mysterious black shadow brought the five marquises to the Sword State City and destroyed the Sword Reverence Sect with lightning speed.
Among the five marquises, the weakest was the Illusory Yin Martial Marquis. The other four marquises were much stronger than the Illusory Yin Martial Marquis.
If it was before, Fang Chen was just an ant-like existence to the Illusory Yin Martial Marquis and the others. But now, it was different.
Fang Chen's strength was already above them. As long as they met, Fang Chen was confident that he could easily kill them.
Looking at the corpse of the Illusory Yin Martial Marquis, Fang Chen kept the Illusory Yin Martial Marquis' interspatial ring and shook his head slightly.
"Sword Marquis, although you didn't get the other four marquises' positions, you still killed the Illusory Yin Martial Marquis." The Soaring Dragon Marquis said.
"That's right. I believe the four of them have also come to the Southern Mountain Land. As long as we stay in the Southern Mountain Land, we will meet them one day." The Black Armor Marquis grinned.
The more they interacted with Fang Chen, the more they realized how terrifying Fang Chen was. Terrifying talent, terrifying tenacity, terrifying willpower.
As long as this kind of warrior didn't die prematurely, he would definitely grow into a peerless figure in the Ancient Sword Continent.
If the Soaring Dragon Marquis thought that he could suppress the Sword Marquis in the Golden Crown Country, then after coming to the Southern Mountain Land, the Soaring Dragon Marquis was not confident.
"His growth is too fast."
The Soaring Dragon Marquis looked at Fang Chen and sighed in his heart. The Sword Marquis' talent was the strongest he had ever seen.
"Let's go." The Soaring Dragon Marquis said.
Then, the three of them continued forward.
Fang Chen had already obtained two interspatial rings. Adding the Illusory Yin Martial Marquis' interspatial ring, he had a total of three interspatial rings. As he walked, he checked the interspatial rings.
Opening the first spatial ring, Fang Chen found a small number of spirit stones, and the rest were basically some elixirs. After looking through it, Fang Chen found that the things in this spatial ring were almost useless to him.
Next was the second Space Ring. Moments later, Fang Chen shook his head slightly. Apart from Spirit Stones, there were also some Soul Weapons in this Space Ring. However, to Fang Chen, who possessed a top grade Soul Weapon, these weapons were not worth mentioning.
Finally, Fang Chen's gaze landed on the Illusory Yin Martial Marquis' interspatial ring. This was because the owner of the three interspatial rings, the Illusory Yin Martial Marquis was the strongest.
"I hope that your spatial ring won't disappoint me."
Fang Chen thought to himself. Then, his soul left his body and entered the interspatial ring of the Illusory Yin Martial Marquis.
As soon as he entered the interspatial ring of the Illusory Yin Martial Marquis, Fang Chen discovered that there was a pile of Spirit Stones in the interspatial ring.
"High-grade spirit stones."
Fang Chen carefully looked through it. There were about two million high-grade spirit stones in the interspatial ring of the Illusory Yin Martial Marquis.
"A dignified expert ranked thirty on the Martial Marquis List actually only has such a small amount of spirit stones."
Fang Chen was a little puzzled. He continued to look and found that in the interspatial ring of the Illusory Yin Martial Marquis, other than Spirit Stones, the rest were Spirit Herbs.
"This is an Illusory Spirit Herb."
After Fang Chen saw these Spirit Herbs, his face revealed a trace of surprise. He never thought that there would be so many Illusory Spirit Herbs in the interspatial ring of the Illusory Yin Martial Marquis.
Illusory Spirit Herbs were considered very precious Spirit Herbs in the world of Spirit Herbs. Under normal circumstances, they were even more precious than Spirit Pills.
Seeing so many Illusory Spirit Herbs, Fang Chen knew that the majority of the Illusory Yin Martial Marquis' spirit stones had been used to buy Illusory Spirit Herbs.
Illusory Spirit Herbs were absolute treasures to warriors who cultivated illusions. Consuming Illusory Spirit Herbs could increase the power of illusions.
"These Illusory Spirit Herbs are useless to me." Fang Chen grinned.
Just as Fang Chen finished speaking, Ancestor Bronze suddenly opened his mouth. "Kid, you really are ignorant."
"Ancestor, are you saying that I can use these Illusory Spirit Herbs?" Fang Chen was puzzled and asked.
"Fortunately, you have me by your side. Otherwise, you would have wasted so many Illusory Spirit Herbs for nothing." Ancestor Bronze proudly said.
Fang Chen listened attentively. Old Ancestor Bronze slowly said, "Everyone thinks that the Illusory Spirit Grass can only be used by martial artists who cultivate illusions. However, they don't know that other martial artists can also use it."
"Why?" Fang Chen asked.
"Kid, what do you major in?" asked Ancestor Bronze.
"Sword Dao." Fang Chen said.
"What would happen if you added illusions to your Sword Dao?" asked Ancestor Bronze.
Fang Chen sank into silence. A moment later, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked, "Ancestor, are you saying that if I add illusions to my Sword Dao, my Sword Dao will become the Illusory Sword Dao?"
"Kid, your comprehension ability is pretty good. That's exactly what I meant. I've lived for so long that I've seen all kinds of sword geniuses." Ancestor Bronze grinned. "A long, long time ago, I don't even remember how long it was. At that time, sword dao was flourishing and countless sword geniuses stood out from the rest. In that era of blooming flowers, countless sword geniuses found their own way of the sword and created countless different sword daos that were derived from sword dao."
"Among them were the Illusory Sword Dao, the Lightning Sword Dao, the Water Sword Dao, and so on."
Ancestor Bronze continued, "Of course, no matter what kind of Sword Dao it is, they all belong to the Grand Dao of the Sword. The goal of all sword cultivators is the same. They all want to reach the peak of the Sword Dao.
"So you can also change your Sword Dao to the Illusory Sword Dao. That way, when you fight an enemy, your sword light will contain illusions. If your opponent isn't careful, they'll be defeated," said Ancestor Bronze.
Ancestor Bronze had lived for so long that he had naturally seen countless Sword Dao geniuses. So when he saw the illusory spirit grass, he immediately thought of this point.
"Illusory Sword Dao." Fang Chen's eyes lit up. A large amount of information about the Sword Dao appeared in his mind. It was like a door was slowly opening for him.
"Why haven't I thought of this before?" wondered Fang Chen.
If the Illusory Sword Dao was infused with illusions, it would definitely have an unexpected effect.
"Ancestor, what should I do?" asked Fang Chen.
Ancestor Bronze was silent for a moment. He then said, "If you were an ordinary person, I would naturally guide you. But your situation is a bit special, especially that golden heart in your body. I've lived for so many years, but I still can't see through it. So I can't guide you. You can only rely on yourself."
Upon hearing the words of Old Master Bronze, Fang Chen was taken aback. Immediately, he looked at the golden heart. At this moment, the golden heart was lying quietly within Fang Chen's body, beating slowly.
"Let's give it a try."
Fang Chen turned to the Soaring Dragon Marquis and the Profound Armor Marquis. "The two of you, I've comprehended something. I need to meditate for a while. Can the two of you wait for me?"
"Oh, Sword Marquis, you're about to break through?" The Profound Armor Marquis' eyes lit up.
Fang Chen shook his head. "I'm just comprehending something."
"No problem. Sword Marquis, go ahead and meditate. The two of us will stand guard for you." The Soaring Dragon Marquis laughed.
After that, Fang Chen sat cross-legged on an empty ground. Wild Sword Intent instantly emanated from his body, protecting him.
Fang Chen took out an illusory spirit grass and directly swallowed it. In the next moment, it entered his body, and its medicinal effects began to spread.
"There's no movement."
Fang Chen stared at the golden heart. He was very surprised to find that there was no reaction at all.
"It seems I can only rely on myself."
Seeing that there was no movement from the golden heart, Fang Chen grinned. He began to digest the illusory spirit grass's medicinal effects. In an instant, Fang Chen found that he was seeing illusions.
"What a powerful illusory spirit grass."
Fang Chen couldn't help sighing. If it weren't for his will being strong enough, he would have already fallen for the illusory spirit grass.
Fang Chen couldn't help but sigh. The illusory spirit grass was too powerful.
Just as Fang Chen was digesting the illusory spirit grass's medicinal effects, the golden heart suddenly began to rapidly beat. In the next instant, Fang Chen found that all the illusory spirit grass's medicinal effects within his body had been absorbed by the golden heart.
"It's been absorbed!" Seeing this scene, Fang Chen's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.
Then Fang Chen began to devour the illusory spirit grass in large mouthfuls.
"What is the Sword Marquis eating?" The Black Armor Marquis was shocked to see Fang Chen's appearance.
"This spirit grass seems to be an illusory spirit grass." The Soaring Dragon Marquis frowned.
"What illusory spirit grass? What is the Sword Marquis doing? Can illusory spirit grass be eaten in large quantities like this?" The Black Armor Marquis was incomparably shocked. He looked at Fang Chen like he was a freak.
Even the Soaring Dragon Marquis was flabbergasted. Illusory spirit grass was something an ordinary martial artist would be unable to devour after just one. Was it really fine for the Sword Marquis to devour so many?
While the Black Armor Marquis and the Soaring Dragon Marquis were shocked, Fang Chen was happily devouring the illusory spirit grass.
In just a moment, Fang Chen had devoured thirty illusory spirit grass.
At a certain moment, the golden heart stopped absorbing the illusory spirit grass's medicinal effects. When Fang Chen saw that, he also stopped devouring.
Hiss!
The golden heart began to rapidly revolve. In just a moment, a dense aura was emitted from the golden heart, directly spreading throughout Fang Chen's body.
This was the illusory aura.
Fang Chen's guess had been correct. The illusory aura had been purified by the golden heart. After it was purified, Fang Chen was actually unable to sense the illusory aura.
Hiss!
In an instant, Fang Chen had completely absorbed the illusory aura. At this moment, Fang Chen suddenly closed his eyes. His sword body was fusing with the illusory aura with all its might.
At this moment, Ancestor Bronze, who was within the python sword, also sighed. "This kid's luck is really off the charts. He can even do this."
Even the Illusory Yin Marquis, who was proficient in illusory techniques, would not dare to swallow thirty illusory spirit grass in one go.
Fang Chen had done it, and he was fine. His body was currently fusing with the illusory aura.
When his sword body had completely fused with the illusory aura, his Sword Dao would also become the Illusory Sword Dao.
Two hours later, Fang Chen suddenly opened his eyes. When the Soaring Dragon Marquis and the Black Armor Marquis looked at Fang Chen, they realized that they could not see Fang Chen clearly. They were all shadows.
The two of them rubbed their eyes and continued looking, but they still could not see clearly.
"Sword Marquis!"
The Soaring Dragon Marquis seemed to have realized this and hurriedly asked.
Fang Chen's eyes looked at the Soaring Dragon Marquis and the Black Armor Marquis. He activated his sword body and the illusory aura instantly surrounded his body. In an instant, the Soaring Dragon Marquis and the Black Armor Marquis' eyes actually had a hint of confusion.
Fang Chen withdrew the illusory aura. At this moment, the Soaring Dragon Marquis and the Black Armor Marquis' eyes were wide open as they looked at Fang Chen in disbelief.
