The clown was one of Luo Bairen's spiritual pets, and Luo Bairen liked it very much.
Although the clown was not very strong, Luo Bairen liked it very much.
Fatty Li had been eyeing Luo Bairen's clown for a long time, but he never had the chance.
Now, he finally got the chance to win the clown.
Luo Bairen was a famous genius sword cultivator. How could he act shamelessly because of a clown?
Although Luo Bairen was very reluctant, he still gave the clown to Fatty Li.
"Damn fatty, take good care of my clown. If I find that the clown is wronged, I will smash your head." Luo Bairen dropped a sentence and turned to leave.
As for He Xuelin and Wu Li, they shook their heads helplessly and left the sword arena.
The appearance of the ancient sword alarmed the entire sword arena.
All the warriors in the Real Martial Realm were talking about the origin of this ancient sword and why it was so powerful.
He defeated Xue Zhu in a second, and then defeated Fatty Li and He Xuelin consecutively, making himself an invincible existence in the Lv 4 Genuine Martial Realm.
In an instant, the entire Golden Sword City was discussing the name of the ancient sword.
At this time, Fang Chen and Wang Gao returned to the Refining Pavilion in high spirits.
Wang Gao was excited because he saw such a wonderful battle, and Fang Chen was excited because he got a lot of purple crystals.
He defeated Xue Zhu and got 100 purple crystals. He defeated Fatty Li and He Xuelin and got 2000 purple crystals. A total of 2,100 purple crystals.
In the past, Fang Chen had tens of thousands of purple crystals and even dozens of purple crystal soul stones.
However, he did not know how to cherish them and used them carelessly.
Now that he came to the Burial Sword State, he had to fight in the sword arena to earn purple crystals.
Fortunately, he had passed the twelfth-grade tribulation and his strength had improved by leaps and bounds, so he could easily earn purple crystals.
In this way, Fang Chen usually refined weapons in the Refining Pavilion and went to the sword arena every few days to earn purple crystals in the name of the ancient sword.
However, after a month of this, it no longer continued.
The reason was that the ancient sword was too strong. Martial artists in the Lv 4 Genuine Martial Realm were not his opponents at all.
Even if He Xuelin and Fatty Li were not convinced and later fought with the ancient sword, the result was the same. They still lost.
In a month's time, Gu Jian had not suffered a single defeat.
This month was also Gu Jian's most profitable month. He earned more than ten thousand purple crystals, and this was also the reason why almost no one challenged him in the later stages.
On a certain day a month later, Gu Jian stood in the arena and looked around. Wherever his gaze passed, the crowd backed away.
"Gu Jian is here again. Who dares to fight?"
"No one at Lv 4 of the True Martial Realm dares to fight, and no one at Lv 5 of the True Martial Realm dares to fight."
"Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls is becoming more and more famous."
Many martial artists discussed in low voices.
"Is no one going to fight?" Fang Chen asked.
Everyone shook their heads. Only a fool would be willing to fight with him.
Fang Chen felt a little helpless and was about to turn around and leave.
At this moment, a middle-aged man came to the ring and whispered a few words into Fang Chen's ear before leaving.
Fang Chen followed behind the middle-aged man and arrived at a quiet courtyard.
There was an old man in the courtyard. There were no energy fluctuations coming from his body.
However, Fang Chen did not dare to be careless because this person was a Mysterious King Realm expert.
"May I know why senior has called me here?" Fang Chen cupped his hands and asked.
Hearing this, the old man turned around and looked at Fang Chen. He nodded his head in satisfaction and said, "Not bad."
Fang Chen did not understand. The old man continued, "Let's put it this way. I'm the person in charge of the Sword Arena in Golden Sword City. You can call me Elder Xuan."
"Elder Xuan," Fang Chen called out.
"I've been observing you for a long time. Your potential is monstrous. You're only at Lv 4 of the True Martial Realm, but you're so strong. This old man admires you." Elder Xuan laughed mischievously.
"Senior, you didn't call me here just to praise me, right?" Fang Chen asked.
Elder Xuan nodded and said, "Little fellow, you already possess spatial True Meaning at such a young age. Furthermore, your accomplishments in the Sword Dao are also extraordinary. Are you interested in joining our Sword Arena?"
Fang Chen sank into silence. He was in no hurry to reply.
"With your talent, there's no need for you to waste your time in the Sword Arena," continued Elder Xuan.
"I came to the Sword Arena to earn violet crystals," said Fang Chen.
Elder Xuan glanced at Fang Chen in astonishment. Then he said, "You came from one of the three continents outside the Sword Burial Prefecture."
"Yes, I came from the Ancient Sword Continent. I don't have any violet crystals, so I can only rely on the Sword Arena to earn them," said Fang Chen in a low voice.
"So that's how it is. The cultivators of the three continents are not as talented as those of the Sword Burial Prefecture. The fact that you can come to the Sword Burial Prefecture means that you're already an outstanding figure of the three continents," said Elder Xuan.
Elder Xuan said, "If you join the Sword Arena, we can provide you with purple crystals for free. Furthermore, you can cultivate the Golden Sword City's Ancient Indestructible Sword Technique."
"The Ancient Undying Sword Art."
Fang Chen had seen the Ancient Undying Sword Art when he had fought with He Xuelin. He was very puzzled when he heard it again.
"There are eight cities in the Sword Burial Prefecture. Each city has its own Ancient Undying Sword Art. The Ancient Undying Sword Art of Golden Sword City is the Ancient Undying Sword Art," explained Elder Xuan.
"Only those who cultivate the Ancient Undying Sword Art can enter the Sword Burial Prefecture," said Elder Xuan.
The Sword Burial Prefecture was the core of the Sword Burial Prefecture. It was also the most prosperous place.
All the geniuses gathered in the Sword Burial Prefecture.
"But I don't like restrictions," said Fang Chen.
"All the more reason for you to join my Sword Arena." Old Xuan laughed heartily.
Elder Xuan then introduced Fang Chen to the other large factions. In the end, Fang Chen weighed the pros and cons and decided to join the Sword Arena.
"Alright, I agree to join the Sword Arena." Fang Chen clasped his hands.
"Good. From today onwards, you're a member of the Sword Arena of Golden Sword City. In the future, the Sword Arena will provide you with ten thousand violet crystals every month. If you can cultivate the Ancient Undying Sword Art, you'll receive twenty thousand violet crystals every month," said Elder Xuan.
Fang Chen was secretly delighted in his heart. He never thought that in order to earn violet crystals, he'd changed his name to Gu Jian and fought in the Sword Arena. He'd actually attracted the attention of this Mystic King Realm expert.
After chatting with Elder Xuan for a while, Fang Chen suddenly thought of a problem. His expression instantly turned gloomy.
"Elder Xuan, I have a question. I don't know if I can ask you," said Fang Chen in a low voice. He was clearly a bit depressed.
"Go ahead," said Elder Xuan.
Elder Xuan attached great importance to Fang Chen.
To be able to comprehend spatial true meaning meant that he was a monstrous genius.
In the future, his name would definitely shake the entire Sword Burial Prefecture. He might even be able to obtain Emperor Zang Sword's approval.
"My wife was killed by a Profound King. I wonder if you can revive her?" asked Fang Chen.
Elder Xuan shook his head. "Ordinary cultivators' souls are weak. If she was killed by a Profound King, her soul would definitely scatter. With my current strength, there's no way I can revive her."
"Is there no other way?"
Asked Fang Chen urgently, his heart filled with grief.
"There is one way, but it's very difficult," said Elder Xuan.
"What way?" Fang Chen didn't care how difficult it was. As long as he could revive Star and Moon, he was willing to do anything.
"There's always been a legend in the Sword Burial Prefecture. If anyone can obtain Emperor Zang Sword's approval, they can make a request, and Emperor Zang Sword will agree unconditionally," said Elder Xuan.
Fang Chen was stunned when he heard this.
He had naturally heard of Emperor Zang Sword.
It should be said that every cultivator in the Sword Burial Prefecture knew the legend of Emperor Zang Sword.
That was because Emperor Zang Sword's body had turned into the Sword Burial Prefecture after he died.
Although Emperor Zang Sword had died, his aura still existed in every corner of the Sword Burial Prefecture.
Every cultivator in the Sword Burial Prefecture wanted to obtain Emperor Zang Sword's approval.
"Obtain Emperor Zang Sword's approval?" asked Fang Chen.
Emperor Zang Sword had died tens of thousands of years ago. How could one obtain his approval?
"Emperor Zang Sword is everywhere in the Sword Burial Prefecture. As for how to obtain his approval, I don't know," said Elder Xuan.
"However, there's one thing I'm certain of. The higher your cultivation, the higher your chances of obtaining Emperor Zang Sword's approval."
Fang Chen made a mental note of that.
In order to revive his wife, Star and Moon, he had to obtain Emperor Zang Sword's approval.
No one knew exactly how strong Zang Sword Emperor was.
It was said that after Emperor Zang Sword had died tens of thousands of years ago, experts from outside the Sword Burial Prefecture had come to obtain Emperor Zang Sword's inheritance.
At that time, a shocking battle had broken out in the Sword Burial Prefecture.
After that battle, the entire Sword Burial Prefecture was in a sorry state. Countless experts from outside the Sword Burial Prefecture had died.
In that battle, True Martial Realm experts could only serve as cannon fodder, while Profound Kings were the main force of the battle.
However, in the end, the experts from outside the Sword Burial Prefecture realized that it was all part of Emperor Zang Sword's scheme to kill the invaders who had evil intentions.
That battle had made the Sword Burial Prefecture famous, but because of Emperor Zang Sword's methods, no one from outside the Sword Burial Prefecture was able to enter.
The Sword Burial Prefecture had also regained its peace.
Of course, this was all recorded in the history books. No one knew if it was true or not.
Having hope was better than having no hope at all. At least there was still hope.
"Yue 'er, wait for me. I will definitely revive you." Fang Chen swore inwardly.
After joining the Sword Battle Arena, he would receive a thousand purple crystals every month, which was enough for Fang Chen.
In the following days, Fang Chen planned to cultivate in peace and break through to a higher realm.
There were many experts in the Sword Burial Prefecture, so being in the fourth stage of the True Martial Realm was nothing.
Of course, Fang Chen had a huge advantage. He had undergone the twelfth-stage tribulation.
With that, Fang Chen bid farewell to Elder Xuan and left the Sword Battle Arena.
He planned to return to the Blacksmith Pavilion and resign from his position as a blacksmith.
Just as he walked out of the Sword Battle Arena, Fang Chen saw a conflict.
Two groups of people clashed. Fang Chen raised his head to look.
