Chapter 6356 - Sword God's Token

It was a small token, engraved with two crossed long swords, one black and one white, with nothing else on it. However, as soon as this token appeared, everyone, including Long Chen, felt their skin tighten as a fierce sword intent pierced straight into their souls. Some of the weaker individuals couldn't help but cry out in astonishment, as if this sharp sword intent, once activated, would cause all souls to be extinguished. No one had ever seen such a terrifying divine object before; its mere aura was so dreadful. "This aura... could it be a relic of the Sword God lineage?" Long Chen felt the aura on the token and couldn't help but speak, because he had sensed a similar aura on Yue Zifeng before. Yue Zifeng's aura had emerged after he entered the Tianyuan World and refined fragments of a divine sword. "Third brother, you're amazing, you actually recognized its origin. Yes, it's the Sword God's Order," Mu Qingyun said with admiration, genuinely impressed by Long Chen, the youngest dean in the history of Lingxiao Academy, for his vast knowledge. In reality, Mu Qingyun didn't know that Long Chen had merely made a casual guess, which happened to be correct. Mu Qingyun explained, "This Sword God's Order was personally carved by the Sword God. There are a total of eight pieces, each belonging to a descendant of the Sword God lineage. The Sword God had very high standards throughout his life and never accepted disciples, yet eight Sword God's Orders were passed down. The powerful individuals who obtained the Sword God's Order comprehended the way of the sword from the token and called themselves the descendants of the Sword God lineage. Both the Sword God and those descendants perished in the chaotic war, and most of the eight Sword God's Orders were detonated to kill more extraterrestrial demons. The one in my hand is likely the last Sword God's Order in the world." Upon hearing that the token was forged by the Sword God himself, everyone was moved. The Sword God was an earth-shattering figure, a supreme deity of the sword, akin to the Chaos Dragon Emperor in the dragon clan. Although some were called gods in the way of the sword after the Sword God, in the hearts of countless sword cultivators, there was only one Sword God, revered by all. Mu Qingyun, having obtained such an unparalleled treasure, brought it out openly without any reservations, which deeply moved the dragon clan experts. Being trusted unconditionally felt truly wonderful. "Did they pursue you because of this?" Long Chen asked. Mu Qingyun shook her head and replied, "No, I acquired the Sword God's Order in an underground stone cave, next to the corpse of a senior sword cultivator. That senior sword cultivator entered during the seventh opening of the Heavenly Domain Battlefield and perished in battle with extraterrestrial demons. In fact, he could have detonated the Sword God's Order back then to kill all the enemies without sacrificing himself. But he was unwilling to detonate the Sword God's Order; he preferred to die with the enemies to protect the token. After his death, his spirit merged with the Sword God's Order, and later, any extraterrestrial powerhouses or deceitful Nine Heavens experts who came were slain by the power he triggered from the Sword God's Order. Until I arrived, the senior entrusted the Sword God's Order to me and invoked a trace of its original power to help me awaken the Sword Dao Emperor Flame..." Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but marvel at Mu Qingyun's luck and admire that sword cultivator's resolve. "The senior told me that he entered the Heavenly Domain Battlefield back then to trace the clues of the Sword God's Order, hoping to find the Sword God's Order and the Sword Servant. Sword Servants, also known as sword puppet servants, were rumored to be descendants of the Sword God, not only powerful sword cultivators but also masters of puppetry. They crafted numerous sword puppets, some for teaching disciples the way of the sword and others as battle puppets. These battle puppets were called Sword Servants. It's said that the most powerful Sword Servants could rival divine emperors. More importantly, the Sword Servants held the key to tracing the lost inheritance of the Sword God. Most sword puppets were destroyed during the chaotic war, but those that survived were undoubtedly the most powerful Sword Servants. The senior guided me here, and indeed, I found the legendary Sword Servant. But just as I awakened the Sword Servant, those terrifying individuals arrived. Unable to contend with them, I could only use the Sword God's Order to hide inside the Sword Servant's chest. I couldn't activate the power of the Sword God's Order, so I used my spiritual essence to create a resonance between the Sword God's Order and the Sword Servant for protection. Fortunately, you arrived in time, third brother, or the Sword God's Order and the Sword Servant would have fallen into their hands." As Mu Qingyun spoke, she felt a lingering fear. She wasn't afraid of death, but as a descendant of the Sword God lineage, she couldn't allow the Sword God's Order and the Sword Servant to fall into the hands of the Ling Tian Lineage. To her, the Ling Tian Lineage was a group of deceitful impostors, especially the so-called Ling Tian Sword God, whose title was a blasphemy against the Sword God. "The Ling Tian Lineage isn't worthy of wielding swords. In their hands, swords are no different from fire pokers," Long Chen shook his head. Compared to Yue Zifeng, their swords were insignificant. If it were Yue Zifeng, wielding nine hundred and ninety-six Emperor Flames, Long Chen wouldn't dare to block with a single finger. Yue Zifeng's sword aura was so solid that Senior Brother Fan was leagues below him, not even on the same level. Yue Zifeng, when drawing his sword, abandoned all retreats and defenses, even life itself, entrusting everything to the sword in his hand. This spirit of living and dying with the sword was unparalleled and unmatched. Because Yue Zifeng abandoned everything, his sword aura was filled with resolute determination, a force that defied heaven and earth, gods and demons alike, unstoppable. Sometimes Long Chen envied Yue Zifeng, for his path was crystal clear from the moment he entered cultivation. Though not without challenges, his Dao heart was as firm as a rock. From the Mortal Realm to the Immortal Realm, his path remained simple, perhaps the so-called Great Dao is indeed simplicity. "While you're here, third brother, take a rest and start communicating with the Sword Servant. Think of a way to put it away; otherwise, it's too conspicuous," Long Chen advised. He enveloped the Sword Servant's massive body with starlight, as if a divine-winged dragon was carrying a sun, making it highly conspicuous and possibly attracting terrifying powerhouses. Although Long Chen wasn't afraid, their primary goal was to reach the Heavenly Ridge, and they preferred to avoid unnecessary complications. "Alright," Mu Qingyun nodded. The Sword Servant was crucial to her, and she needed to put it away quickly to avoid potential dangers. Although she had the Sword God's Order, with her current strength, she couldn't yet control it. She needed to use the aura of the Sword God's Order to gradually communicate with the core rune of the Sword Servant. Once recognized by the core rune, she could put the Sword Servant away. As for when she could drive the Sword Servant, that wasn't a concern for now. Even if she couldn't, studying the Sword Dao runes on it and learning the Sword God's lineage's divine abilities was already an incredible opportunity. "Xue Tu, Qingyi, keep guarding us. I need to continue as well!" Long Chen instructed. Then, Long Chen proceeded to open the seventh gate. The battle with Senior Brother Fan had shown him the terror of the seventh gate, further motivating him to fully unlock it.
