Free Web NovelChapter 47: Chapter 47: Land of Inheritance
Over a thousand Spirit Stones, a defensive Top Grade Magical Artifact, and various Talismans and Elixirs.
When Gu Yun spotted a map, he couldn’t help but exclaim.
"Well, I’ll be!"
A map of the Black Flame Sword Sect!
And the map was quite detailed.
"The Alchemy Pavilion, Artifact Refining Room, Hidden Martial Arts Pavilion, Land of Inheritance... Excellent!"
’This person must have been a True Disciple of the Black Flame Sword Sect when he was alive.’
With this map,
Gu Yun no longer had to search aimlessly like a fly buzzing around.
Instead, he could home in on the most important treasures.
According to the map, the Alchemy Pavilion was the farthest away, followed by the Artifact Refining Room.
The Hidden Martial Arts Pavilion and the Land of Inheritance were relatively close. ’Which one should I go to first?’
Soon, an answer formed in his mind.
With a flicker, his figure vanished, speeding toward his destination.
...
Gu Yun was heading for
the Land of Inheritance.
’This must be the most valuable place in the Black Flame Sword Sect—the very foundation of the Sect.’
As he sped on his way,
just as he was about to reach the Land of Inheritance,
suddenly,
"BOOM!"
His Spiritual Sense, which was quite powerful, detected the sounds of battle not far away, in the direction of the Land of Inheritance.
A chill ran down his spine. ’Could I be too late?’
He immediately picked up his pace, his body becoming a blur that crossed a thousand feet in an instant, as if tearing through space itself.
The closer he got to the Black Flame Sword Sect’s Land of Inheritance, the more the area was covered by towering, ancient trees.
And as he ventured deeper,
the surrounding trees became a wreck. The impact from the clash between True Martial Realm Cultivators had caused them to collapse, scattering branches and leaves everywhere.
At the same time, the ground was riddled with craters, and fresh, still-warm blood stained the earth.
This made Gu Yun’s heart sink even further.
’Dammit, don’t tell me someone beat me to it.’
After pressing forward for a short while longer, he abruptly stopped.
"Shi Beihai, hand over the item!"
Ahead, the large, bald Cultivator was locked in a fierce battle with Chen Daoming.
The bald man’s Body Refinement was incredibly formidable. His every attack carried a majestic power, like Mount Tai crashing down, exuding an extremely heavy sense of oppression.
As for Chen Daoming, a single punch from him unleashed a torrent of True Yuan like a furious dragon, seeming to pierce through space itself.
BOOM!
The two clashed violently, the power unleashed by the two True Martial Second Layer Late Stage experts enough to overturn mountains and seas.
A visible shockwave swept out in all directions, causing the surrounding forest to collapse and splinter.
The very rock and earth of the ground cracked and shattered inch by inch amidst the fierce conflict.
Immediately after, Chen Daoming was sent flying backward like a cannonball, shooting straight into a nearby rock formation.
The rock formation instantly crumbled on impact, and a cloud of dust billowed out.
Enduring the immense pain, Chen Daoming sharply flipped over.
With a wave of his hand, a crimson longsword appeared in his grasp.
An astonishing aura erupted from his body. True Yuan poured out from within him, and the crimson longsword began to flash with light.
An intense heat began to spread, making the area for a thousand feet around feel as hot as the inside of a volcano.
"Fiery Flame Heaven-Sundering!"
Chen Daoming roared.
In that instant, his entire body seemed to ignite in flames. He swung his sword, unleashing a searing blade of light that tore through space and streaked across the sky,
heading straight for Shi Beihai!
Shi Beihai watched this terrifying, fiery sword light approach.
His expression darkened.
He immediately unleashed his True Yuan with all his might, condensing a massive palm of True Yuan several hundred feet wide in the air,
and sent it smashing violently toward the attack.
"RUMBLE!"
A deafening roar echoed between heaven and earth as the energy from the violent collision erupted into a storm that swept outward!
PFFT!
Shi Beihai’s eyes widened in disbelief. ’I actually lost?!’
Then, his body slowly fell.
THUD! He hit the ground, kicking up a small puff of dust.
In the end, Shi Beihai had overestimated himself.
That Fiery Flame Heaven-Sundering Sword had been Chen Daoming’s strongest attack, thrown with all his might.
Now, gravely wounded, Chen Daoming smiled.
He prepared to get up and take Shi Beihai’s Storage Ring to claim a certain precious treasure within it.
"Who’s there?!"
Just then,
a flash of blade light suddenly lit up the space between heaven and earth. Accompanied by the sound of Wind and Thunder and roaring like a clap of thunder, it tore through the sky and slashed down at him.
’Crap!’ Chen Daoming cursed inwardly.
He immediately shot backward at high speed.
BAM! A horrifying ravine, several hundred feet long, was carved into the spot where Chen Daoming had just been!
Although Chen Daoming had dodged Gu Yun’s slash, he was still hit by a part of the blade light.
Now his clothes were stained with blood, and his already wounded body was injured even further!
"Sir, I’m afraid this is hardly appropriate!" Chen Daoming said in a low voice, his face cold and grim as he looked in Gu Yun’s direction.
"Hahaha, not appropriate? What’s not appropriate about it?" Gu Yun said, slowly emerging from nearby.
Then, his figure flashed. Before Chen Daoming could react, he was behind him, a fist wreathed in surging Thunder and imbued with Mountain-Breaking and Mountain-Suppressing power,
struck Chen Daoming’s back with the force of a thousand thunderbolts.
BOOM!
Chen Daoming instantly felt a mountain-like force slam into his back. His eyes wide with shock, he was sent flying into the distance like a cannonball.
THUD!
His body smashed a large crater into the ground, and dust billowed up. Then, all sound from him ceased.
Gu Yun’s expression was as tranquil as an old well, showing no sign of discomfort.
’This is the Cultivation Realm.’
’One moment you could be allies, and the next you’d be at each other’s throats over a conflict of interest!’
After the dust settled, he looked at the motionless Chen Daoming.
Just as he was about to take a step toward the body, he instantly reversed his grip and slashed with his blade again. Sword Qi soared into the air,
tearing through space and slashing toward Chen Daoming like a white dragon.
Suddenly, Chen Daoming’s "corpse" moved. Just as he was about to self-detonate in a last-ditch attempt to take Gu Yun with him,
the terrifying blade light descended upon him.
SHIIING! The blade light sliced him in two, killing him completely!
"Fucking insidious, this old bastard! Couldn’t even die peacefully," Gu Yun cursed.
His Spiritual Sense had told him something was off, so he’d added an extra slash. He was right!
He walked over to Chen Daoming, took his Storage Ring, and then took Shi Beihai’s Storage Ring as well.
Then his figure vanished.
He continued on his way to the Land of Inheritance!
While on his way,
he sent his Spiritual Sense into Chen Daoming’s Storage Ring and found several thousand Spirit Stones, a few bottles of Elixirs, various Talismans, and some manuals.
In Shi Beihai’s Storage Ring, besides over a thousand Spirit Stones and a Body Refining Manual, there was also a simple, mysterious Token. The two words "Black Flame" were engraved on it!
’This must be what Chen Daoming wanted, but what is it for?’
As he thought about it, Gu Yun was about to arrive at the Land of Inheritance. He saw a stretch of ruins at his feet, and among the collapsed structures, scattered Jade Scrolls seemed to be buried beneath the rubble.
’A great battle must have once taken place here, leaving the Land of Inheritance in such a state of disrepair.’
’But this is the heart of the Black Flame Sword Sect! I wonder how the Xingluo Palace managed to completely annihilate the Black Flame Sword Sect within the Chaotic Star Sea back then?’
Not far away was a series of inheritance halls, but they looked somewhat desolate.
Passing the palace ruins, Gu Yun arrived before a steep, enormous mountain peak.
He had arrived at the Black Flame Sword Sect’s Land of Inheritance!
