"System Notification: Mission Two Completed: You have found the communication band belonging to Yan Jing Base City. You have restored communication with Yan Jing Base City and reported the situation on WuTang Mountain to Yan Jing Base City."
"System Notification: Main Mission Updated.
Mission Three: Convince Base City: Yan Jing Base City is not willing to send out powerhouses to face the Dark Dragon King, as this could lead to huge losses, resulting in the deaths and injuries of Deity level sword bearers.
Please think of a way to convince the office director of Yan Jing Base City to use his authority to invite Deity level sword bearers to take action within five minutes. "
No one knew how the Deity level sword bearers who entered WuTang Peak managed to convince Yan Jing Base City to take action. In any case, the players had come up with all sorts of ways to convince Yan Jing Base City.
Humanitarianism, humanity helping each other, interdependence, my grandfather being a fleeting old man, all sorts of excuses, but none of them were very effective.
Every answer seemed to have a chance of success, but the success rate of every answer was ridiculously low.
All of a sudden, posts on the forum about how to persuade Yan Jing City to the greatest extent possible were in an uproar. All kinds of masters spoke their minds freely, debating endlessly. Until a master who was said to be a member of the council made a post, instantly putting an end to this debate.
Because this councilor only used one sentence to convince Yan Jing Base City to immediately invite Deity level sword bearers without hesitation.
"Director, there is a situation that I must report to the base. Please make a decision after listening to this information!" Guhan said through the comms.
"What information?"
The director was getting impatient. Why did these sword bearers always want the honorable Deity level sword bearers to take action? What kind of nonsense was this?
"At the peak of WuTang Mountain, there are at least a hundred Sword Maidens!" Guhan said calmly.
"What?
What did you say? "
On the other end of the comms, there was the crisp sound of a cup falling to the ground. "Say that again?
What did you say? "
"I said that there are at least a hundred Sword Maidens here who have not awakened and are still in deep sleep!"
Guhan paused for a moment before explaining, "This is the peak of Mount Wudang, the ancestral land of the Wudang Sect. Before the Great Calamity, the Wudang Sect was a leading figure in the martial arts world that was founded on the way of the sword!"
The other end of the line was silent for a few minutes.
"Your name is Military Governor, right?
Comrade Military Governor, do you dare to use your name as the Sword Lady to guarantee to the people of Yan Jing that everything you said is true? "
"I guarantee that every word that I, the Military Governor, have said is true!"
"Alright, I'll report the situation to the chairman now. If there are no accidents, reinforcements will arrive in five hours. Within these five hours, you must ensure the safety of the peak of Mount Wudang, especially those Sword Ladies. Not a single one can be left behind!"
"Understood!"
With a snap, the other side hung up the call. He was probably in a hurry to find the chairman.
"System Notification: Mission 3 completed: You have convinced Beijing City to send out reinforcements."
"System Notification: Main Quest has been updated.
Mission 4: Preparation: The reinforcements from Yan Jing Headquarter City will take at least three hours to arrive.
However, according to reliable intelligence, the Dark Dragon King, Xiunaida, has already discovered that three of the blockade lines have been destroyed. He will send his forces one after another in an hour to launch an attack on the peak of Mount Wudang. Please prepare your defenses within an hour. "
…
With the completion of Mission 3, the first half of the Wudang Summit dungeon was declared complete. The second half of the dungeon, protecting the peak of Mount Wudang, became the most important task.
Although the system only said that the Dark Dragon King Xiunaida would send out reinforcements, it did not specify in detail how powerful the reinforcements would be.
In fact, according to the records in the guide posts on the forums, there would be a total of ten waves of attack.
Under these ten waves of attack, if no more than three NPCs died, the dungeon would receive an SSS rating.
If no more than ten NPCs died, the dungeon would receive an SS rating. Twenty would receive an S rating.
The number of deaths would be limited to three!
Such conditions were extremely difficult for any ancient sword wielder.
However, for a Sword Master like Guhan, who had unparalleled swordplay, and a Famed Sword Maiden like King Yue, who shamelessly played around in ancient sword dungeons, it was extremely easy. As long as the two of them blocked all the attacks, it would be fine.
However, the rewards of the Wudang's Apex Dungeon were about the same as other Ancient Sword Tier Dungeons. However, the time it took to complete the Wudang's Apex Dungeon was the longest out of all the Ancient Sword Tier Dungeons.
These seven hours were more than enough for Guhan to clear another ancient sword dungeon with the same rewards twice.
In terms of efficiency, Guhan estimated that he would not be interested in clearing the Wudang Summit dungeon in the future.
As such, Guhan decided to properly experience the contents of this dungeon and complete it according to the guide. That way, he would not have any regrets in the future.
Within an hour, Guhan needed to make a lot of preparations. Among them, the most important was to create a few sword wielder NPCs on the spot … Yes, you read that right, creating sword wielder NPCs on the spot.
In actuality, it was not that there were no NPCs at the peak of Wudang Mountain who had the potential to become a sword wielder. However, due to various reasons, they had not come into contact with a suitable Sword Maiden.
Ever since the first player had accidentally created a sword wielder NPC, there had been players entering this dungeon to experiment with NPC pairings.
After spending more than ten years and testing almost all of the NPCs and Sword Maidens, they had found a total of three NPCs that had been successfully paired with a Sword Maiden.
These three NPC sword wielder were of great help to the players.
Before this was discovered, the success rate of achieving an SSS rating for the entire Wudang Summit dungeon was only 0.002%.
However, with the help of the three NPC sword wielder NPCs, the success rate had risen to 0.5%.
Among the three NPCs, the easiest one to find was the young Taoist priest in the Wudang Temple, Yuan Kong, who had led Guhan to the golden temple to find the broadcasting equipment.
When Guhan pulled Yuan Kong's hand to the old Taoist priest in the Refinement Realm and said that he could make Yuan Kong a sword wielder, the two NPCs widened their eyes in disbelief.
In the words of the old Taoist priest in the Refinement Realm, the 28 Taoist priests in the Wudang Sect had all tested with a total of more than a thousand swords, and none of them had succeeded.
It was said that there were only about a hundred Sword Maidens in the Wudang Mountain. However, due to the lack of information, the people of the Wudang Mountain did not know that not all swords could awaken a Sword Maiden. They thought that all the swords in their collection could become Sword Maidens, so they had tested them one by one.
It was also because they had tested them one by one that the old Taoist priest in the Refinement Realm was very sure that there were no Sword Maidens among his Taoist priests.
Compared to the disbelief of the old Taoist priest in the Refinement Realm, Yuan Kong was a little more excited. For some reason, this sword wielder with a scarred face gave Yuan Kong a strong sense of trust. He felt that this sword wielder was an omnipotent powerhouse. If he said that he could become a sword wielder, then he could definitely do it!
"I can't be wrong. The Yanjing base city has a unique method that can determine which person has successfully synchronized with which sword. I was walking around just now and happened to find Yuan Kong's Sword Maiden!"
Guhan made up a story with a sincere look on his face. Of course, Yanjing did not have such a method to determine if a sword wielder and a Sword Maiden were compatible. Otherwise, there would be no need for mortals to go to the Sword Pavilion to conduct a sword-inscription ceremony and experiment with one Sword Maiden after another.
Guhan was just taking advantage of the fact that they were all NPCs in the dungeon and would not go to Yanjing to verify the method.
"That's great!"
The old Taoist priest in the Refinement Realm still had some doubts after listening to Guhan's explanation. However, it was never a bad thing to have another sword wielder, not to mention that this was a sword wielder that belonged to the WuTang Mountain!
Therefore, under Guhan's guidance, Yuan Kong and the old Taoist priest in the Refinement Realm walked into a side hall in the Skyward Palace. This side hall was dedicated to the statues of the Snake and Tortoise Generals under Emperor Zhenwu.
Among them, the statue of the Snake General was carved into a general with the head of a human and the body of a snake. Four pairs of scaly hands grew out of its back, and each hand held a treasure sword, a copper bell, a jade bottle, a halberd, a flag, a long saber, an iron hammer, a book, and a total of eight other artifacts.
"Master of the Refinement Realm, you said that all the swords have been tested. May I ask, has that sword been tested?" Guhan pointed at the sword among the eight instruments and asked with a smile.
"Are you talking about the instrument in the Snake General's hand?"
The old Taoist priest in the Refinement Realm was taken aback. Indeed, no one had ever tried that sword before. No one would have thought that there was another sword in the hands of the statue.
"But Almsgiver Military Governor, that sword is a wooden sword. I'm afraid it won't work!" According to the knowledge of the Refinement Realm, a wooden sword could not become a Sword Maiden.
"That's not right. Master of the Refinement Realm, you may not know that among the famous swords, the number one Sword Maiden is a wooden sword!" Guhan smiled and patted Yuan Kong's head.
"Hurry up and take down that wooden sword. Let me see if it's accurate or not!"
"Yes!"
Yuan Kong did not wait for the old Taoist priest in the Refinement Realm to agree. He rushed forward and grabbed the hilt of the wooden sword. In an instant, a sword wielder was born.
"Congratulations, Master of the Refinement Realm!" Guhan cupped his hands at the Refinement Realm.
