The Ancient Sword Inscription Ceremony was actually similar to the Mortal Sword Inscription Ceremony. The biggest difference was probably the materials used in the Ancient Sword Inscription Ceremony. Gu Han could feel the medicinal power of the Ancient Sword Inscription Ceremony, which was much stronger than the last time, entering his body and increasing his abilities.
After the ceremony, Guhan went straight to the second floor of the sword tower from the entrance reserved for ancient sword bearers. The first floor was filled with ancient sword maidens, while the second floor was filled with treasured sword maidens.
"Welcome, Lord Guhan. Please follow me."
A guide with a formal smile led Guhan to the second floor. Although they had thick makeup on, it could be seen that even the heavy makeup couldn't hide the dark circles under their eyes. Their smiles couldn't be any more forced. It seemed like this lady hadn't been sleeping well for the past few days.
"Yuzhang City's sword tower has a total of 358 natural sword maidens and 1698 artificial sword maidens. Among them, 187 natural sword maidens have already been sent away. The remaining 171 natural sword maidens are still in the sword tower, waiting for their sword bearers." The guide introduced the basic situation of the sword tower's second floor in a formal manner.
As far as Guhan knew, there were a total of 3,216 natural sword maidens. Including artificial sword maidens, Yuzhang City had only collected 2,056. There were more than a thousand that weren't here. He didn't know if it was because there weren't any artificial replicas, or because Yan Jing City was so stingy that they didn't provide templates … Without templates, even the best swordsmiths couldn't replicate the artificial sword maidens. From this, it could be seen how much conflict there was between Yan Jing City and Yuzhang City.
"Although our Yuzhang Sword Tower only ranks third among the eight base cities in terms of the number of Natural Sword Ladies, we have three Natural Sword Ladies who are ranked in the top three of the Natural Sword Ladies. This is something that even Yan Jing City is jealous of!"
At this point, the guide began to feel proud. Obviously, she felt deeply honored that her city's sword tower was superior to Yan Jing City's … The entire Yuzhang City was almost like this. As long as they could surpass Yan Jing City, even by a small margin, the people of Yuzhang City would feel honored and honored. It was like hearing that a certain industry or a certain technology in China surpassed America a thousand years ago. It was almost the same thing.
But to be honest, it was indeed a unique feat to gather all the top three Sword Ladies in one Sword Pavilion. Not even the Yan Jin Base City, which was rich and powerful, could achieve such a feat.
The three natural sword maidens that the guide mentioned were the number one sword maidens, Heaven-reliant Sword, number two sword maidens, and number three sword maidens, Tianwen Sword.
Tianwen Sword had already been taken away by Liunian Ling, and the Yuchang Sword had gone missing. The only sword left in the sword tower was the number one sword, Heaven-reliant Sword.
"Lord Guhan, what you're looking at now is a sword maiden of the treasure grade, the Mountain Suppression Sword!"
He led the girl to a counter where a Sword Maiden was kept. He pointed at a heavy sword in a brocade box and said, "The Mountain Suppression Sword is ranked 545th in the Treasure Sword Record. It was the sword of Liu Chan, the second emperor of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms Era. She actually has a powerful defense and can defend against a large amount of damage from a frontal attack. She's a Sword Maiden with a very powerful life-saving ability!"
Guhan noticed that there were two grooves in the brocade box, one gold and one silver, for sword maidens. Two identical sword maidens were placed in the two grooves.
Guhan knew that this meant that the natural sword maidens and artificial sword maidens of the Mountain Suppression Sword were stored in the sword tower and hadn't been taken away.
When he first saw the Mountain Suppression Sword, Guhan's heart surged with a very strong urge to want her … This wasn't the first time Guhan had experienced this feeling. The last time he came to the sword tower, Guhan had been tortured by this kind of sword affinity. Almost all of the ancient sword maidens had sensed a sword affinity with Guhan, and it was a very strong sword affinity. Guhan could probably close his eyes and casually take out an ancient sword maiden and successfully synchronize with it.
If it wasn't for Liunian Ling suddenly jumping out to synchronize with the Yi Xian Sword and bringing Guhan into the Sword Burial Grounds, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand this strong sword affinity and would have had to find a strong sword maiden to synchronize with. Naturally, there wouldn't have been a cute guy like Qingpin … In the end, Guhan still had to thank Liunian Ling. Without Liunian Ling, Guhan wouldn't have been able to obtain Qingpin.
Along the way, they passed by more than ten counters with treasured sword maidens. The female guide was trying her best to promote the advantages of these sword maidens to Guhan. She planned to make Guhan fail as soon as possible so that he would be kicked out of the sword tower … They had received news that the number of people waiting outside to synchronize with the sword maidens had already exceeded a hundred. They had to speed up the synchronization experiment in the sword tower, or else they would have to work overtime until 11pm.
However, Guhan's attention wasn't on these sword maidens who were ranked in the hundreds or even the thousands. This was because Guhan's goal in coming here was very clear. He was here for the number one treasured sword, the Heavenly Sword.
Since he had already synchronized with the sword maidens in the game, he would definitely be able to do it in reality as well.
In fact, more than half of the treasured sword maidens along the way had a strong sword affinity with Guhan. Although it was much lower than the ratio of all the ancient sword maidens, it was still a very terrifying thing.
This meant that more than half of the treasured sword maidens had acknowledged Guhan and had taken the initiative to invite Guhan to become their sword wielder … If half of the treasured sword maidens had acknowledged Guhan, would Heavenly Sword still be able to escape?
"Alright, don't waste time on these sword maidens. Just tell me where the Heavenly Sword is."
Guhan interrupted the guide, who was talking non-stop about an artificial sword maiden, and asked bluntly.
"Tsk, another kid who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. One look and I can tell that he's a newbie who has just reached 1,000 quarks!"
The guide secretly despised Guhan, then replied with a smile, "Lord Guhan, you might not know this, but our swordsmiths are unable to replicate the artificial sword maidens of the Heavenly Sword. Even now, the template for the Heavenly Sword has not been analyzed. Our sword tower doesn't have any artificial sword maidens for the Heavenly Sword."
"What does this have to do with artificial sword maidens?"
Guhan frowned. "I don't need artificial sword maidens. I only need natural sword maidens. Could the Heavenly Sword have already been synchronized and taken away?"
"How could that be … Of course not!"
The guide covered her mouth and laughed. "The Heavenly Sword hasn't been synchronized and taken out for more than 300 years. I believe that even after a few hundred years, no one will be able to take the Heavenly Sword away!"
The guide's words were completely ridiculing Guhan, saying that he was dreaming.
It was no wonder that the guide felt this way, because the Heavenly Sword was indeed a sword maiden that was very difficult to serve. From the first time she was born until now, she had only met two sword bearers in real life, and it was said that her relationship with both sword bearers was terrible.
The last sword wielder became a powerful immortal sword wielder in the end.
After that sword bearer obtained the spirit sword maiden, he completely shelved the Heavenly Sword. He never used the Heavenly Sword even once in his life until his death.
After that sword bearer, the Heavenly Sword seemed to have completely given up on humans. No matter how many people came to it to synchronize and take care of it, it did not respond at all. For more than 350 years, the Heavenly Sword had rejected over 50,000 ancient sword bearers' requests to synchronize and take care of it.
"Just bring me there! What's with all this nonsense!" Guhan glared at the guide, and his tone became very rude.
Faced with Guhan's domineering attitude, the guide began to curse in her heart, but she still maintained a smile on her face. "Alright, please follow me, Lord Guhan. This is your right."
After following the guide for a while, Guhan finally arrived at the place where the Heavenly Sword was kept. It was a separate hall, with three walls in front, left, and right, each with a counter. These three counters were probably where the Heavenly Sword, the Fishbowel Sword, and the Heaven Inquiring Sword were kept.
Sure enough, Gu Han glanced at the nameplates on the counters. They were the names of the three ancient swordmaidens. However, two of the brocade boxes on the counters were already empty. There was nothing inside. Only the Heavenly Sword's brocade box had a sharp longsword in it.
Naturally, Guhan was very familiar with the sword. After all, Guhan had already played with it in the game.
"Lord Guhan, as your guide, I must remind you that you must carefully consider whether or not you wish to synchronize with the Heavenly Sword," the guide tried to persuade him one last time.
The guide tried to persuade him one last time, "Sir Gu Han, I know you are a genius, but no matter how talented you are, you will still be defeated by the Heavenly Sword."
"Let me give you some data.
Based on our records over the past three hundred years, in terms of bloodline, more than five thousand descendants of the Sword Emperor Aristocratic Clan have been defeated by the Heavenly Sword. Among all the aristocratic clans, the Liunian Aristocratic Clan, which has the best bloodline, every generation's direct descendant would come here to try to synchronize with the Heavenly Sword. However, without exception, they all failed. Just over ten days ago, the new descendant of the Liunian Aristocratic Clan also came here, but he also failed.
"In terms of talent, of the fifty thousand people who have failed to synchronize with the Heavenly Sword, thirty thousand of them have successfully become treasured sword-bearers, ten thousand have become famed sword-bearers, and one thousand have become spiritual sword-bearers. Of these one thousand, eighty-six Sword Immortals and five Jiandi were born. When His Majesty Jiandi was still an ancient sword-bearer, he also came here. Of course, he also failed.
"Lord Guhan, do you think that your bloodline and talent can compare to that of the Liunian family and Jiandi?
Lord Guhan, please do not waste the precious resources of the Ancient Sword Inscription Ceremony. You should try it with the other swordmaidens! "the guide finally finished her advice.
"Well said, but I stand by my choice." Forget it, the guide's long speech was wasted.
