Wang Yan did not have much interest in this storage ring at first, but the identity of the white-robed old man made him very curious.
To be able to preserve a nine-story pagoda in a mottled, dilapidated ancient mystic realm that was full of all kinds of big and small ancient ruins, and to be able to evolve such a magnificent and dazzling scene.
It was enough to show that this white-haired old man's identity was extremely extraordinary.
Most importantly, this person had been dead for god knows how many years. Logically speaking, whether it was his soul or his physical body, they had long been obliterated in the long river of time.
But this person's physical body was perfectly preserved, and there was still a trace of his soul left in the world.
One had to know that a peerless figure like Extreme Sky Great Venerable, a mighty figure, a fierce person who shocked the ancient times, only left behind a remnant of his soul.
As for his physical body, it had long been obliterated in the long river of time.
Therefore, Wang Yan could conclude that this storage ring given by this white-haired old man was definitely not an ordinary item.
There must be some heaven-shaking treasures hidden within!
Even if it could not compare to Extreme Sky Great Venerable's inheritance, it would probably not be much inferior.
With a thought, Wang Yan separated a trace of his soul and entered this ancient-looking, sword-shaped storage ring.
In an instant, a terrifying wave that could not be described with words spread out, instantly filling the entire secret cultivation room!
Wang Yan only felt that under this terrifying wave, his soul was about to be shattered and obliterated!
At the critical moment, Wang Yan wanted to withdraw his soul.
But the moment this terrifying wave approached his body, it turned into an extremely gentle force, enveloping Wang Yan's entire body.
This caused him to be unable to make any movements, and even his soul could not be withdrawn from this storage ring.
"What are you doing, you stinking brat?!
Why did you make such a big movement?! "
Xiao Long's bewildered voice suddenly sounded beside his ear, followed by a flash of red light, and Xiao Long's illusory figure appeared in front of Wang Yan.
"This wave … it's the Heavenly Sword old monster's?!"
When he saw the simple and unadorned storage ring in Wang Yan's palm, Xiao Long's eyes instantly widened, and a look of disbelief appeared on his young face.
With a cry, Xiao Long instantly returned to the Heaven Dissolving Divine Ring.
"Brat, why do you have the Storage Ring of the Heavenly Sword Elder?!"
In the face of Xiao Long's question, Wang Yan had no idea. He could only tell him about the white-haired old man he had met in the ancient mystery realm.
Xiao Long was silent for a while and said, "I didn't expect that even the Heavenly Sword Elder couldn't escape from that disaster. How sad, how lamentable!"
"Alright, stop lamenting. Tell me, what's going on?"
"Why did this happen as soon as my Divine Soul entered the storage ring?"
After a few seconds of silence, Xiao Long spoke again. "This is the energy wave left behind by the Heavenly Sword."
"As long as someone opens his storage ring, the energy wave he left behind will be released."
"If someone without his approval forcibly opens the storage ring, their Divine Soul will be destroyed by the energy wave, and their physical body will be turned to dust!"
"However, Master Long is very curious. How did a figure like the Heavenly Sword Elder approve of a brat like you?"
Hearing this, Wang Yan rolled his eyes. "What's there to be curious about? Even your master, the Extreme Sky Great Venerable, approved of me, let alone the Heavenly Sword Elder."
"This can only mean one thing. Although my current cultivation is pitifully low, my talent is absolutely outstanding. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that I'm a monster."
"Therefore, powerful figures like the Heavenly Sword Elder and the Extreme Sky Great Venerable, who looked down on all living beings in the ancient times, would also approve of me as their successor."
Wang Yan was just casually saying this, but he didn't expect Xiao Long to fall silent.
After a few seconds, he said faintly, "Don't be too pleased with yourself, kid. If you knew what kind of figure the Heavenly Sword Elder was, you wouldn't say that."
"He approved of you and gave you a storage ring. No one knows why or what he thinks."
"However, it seems to be a good thing for now. After all, the Heavenly Sword Elder is dead. Even if he has any ulterior motives, he won't be able to do anything."
Then, through Xiao Long's narration, Wang Yan finally learned the true identity of the Heavenly Sword Elder, the white-haired old man with an unbreakable body whom he met in the Nine-story Pagoda.
This person was almost as famous as the Extreme Sky Great Venerable in the ancient times. He was also a peerless figure who looked down on all living beings in the ancient times.
Although he had never defeated the Extreme Sky Great Venerable even once in his life, and was even suppressed by the Extreme Sky Great Venerable, his aptitude and talent in martial arts were unparalleled.
However, his aptitude and talent in martial arts could be said to be unparalleled in the world. If it weren't for the fact that there was someone as talented as Extreme Heaven Great Venerable, the one who dominated the ancient times would not have been the former, but the Heaven Sword Old Man!
This person defeated all heroes in the ancient times and was invincible. It wasn't until the Extreme Sky Great Venerable appeared that he tasted his first defeat.
However, the Heavenly Sword Elder did not collapse because of this setback. Instead, he cultivated even harder.
Every time he made a breakthrough in his realm, he would challenge the Extreme Sky Great Venerable, but he would always be defeated.
To describe it in one sentence, it would be that he was born at the wrong time.
"If I remember correctly, the Heavenly Sword Elder has a peerless divine sword. Once this sword is unleashed, heaven and earth will lose their color, and the sun and moon will lose their luster."
"Kid, quickly enter the storage ring and see if there's this peerless divine sword. Let Master Long have a good look at it."
Hearing this, Wang Yan hesitated for a moment. In the end, he manipulated his Divine Soul to search the storage ring's space.
Compared to the Heaven Dissolving Divine Ring, this storage ring's space was also extremely vast and could be said to be boundless, but it was still somewhat lacking.
Compared to the lifeless Heaven Dissolving Divine Ring's space, this storage ring's space was colorful.
Not only were there flowers, trees, mountains, and rivers, but there were also some exquisitely built houses.
It was obvious that the Heavenly Sword Elder valued this storage ring very much. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so unworthy of such meticulous care.
After searching for a while, Wang Yan arrived at the largest house. He pushed open the dusty bamboo door and walked in.
Even though Wang Yan was in his Divine Soul form, he couldn't help but be shocked.
This was because there were only swords in this house. Everywhere he looked, there were countless swords floating in the air.
Every sword had a different shape, and the aura they emitted varied in strength.
With a cursory glance, Wang Yan was shocked to find that there were eighteen thousand swords in this house. Even the weakest one was a spiritual weapon!
As Wang Yan walked in, the swords floating in the air made a path for him. It was as if they were alive and had their own intelligence.
Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Wang Yan slowly walked to a small door and gently pushed it open.
Instantly, a gust of extremely fresh air blew into his face. It was mixed with dense Star Energy.
There were no weapons behind this small door. There were only some flowers, grass, and a pavilion.
Inside the pavilion, there was a wooden table. On the table, there were two teacups and a clay pot.
"Lucky kid, you're finally here."
