Long Chen released his left hand holding the Qingyan sword and clasped both hands to his sides.

It seemed Xing Daorong’s strength wasn’t bad at all, though compared to his own warriors, there was a considerable gap.

Yet among the diverse group of foreign entities, having a four-star general like Xing Daorong was indeed rare.

Xing Daorong was considered at the bottom tier among four-star generals, essentially a second-rate lower-ranking general.

No wonder he ran out of energy after just a few rounds against Zhang Fei in a one-on-one duel.

But overall, with Xing Daorong’s bravery, he was more than capable of dealing with warlords without top-tier generals or disorganized Yellow Turban troops.

Unconsciously,

The scenery before them changed, the vast endless plains giving way to a winding coastline.

In the distance lay the unfathomable deep blue sea.

"Long Brother, look ahead, about a kilometer away!"

Dan stretched out his fair hand, pointing forward, his brow gradually furrowing with excitement in his eyes.

These southern countries, though mostly small nations, had banded together out of recognition of their weak strength, forming a mutual defense pact.

In the face of external threats, the other small nations would send troops to assist in battle.

This was how they managed to survive in the fiercely competitive continent, preventing themselves from being swallowed by larger nations.

Even neighboring nations like the self-proclaimed "Asian Sun Country" Sakura couldn’t deal with them.

Long Chen followed his finger’s direction and saw a fortress built on sturdy rocks standing on the ground.

"Which country is this...?"

Long Chen asked the white-clad man beside him, rubbing his forehead.

"This is New Jia Po! Known as one of the four little dragons in Asia, their overall military strength is quite respectable in the game ’Great Lord.’"

Dan drew half of his long sword from his waist, emitting a faint righteous aura from its blade.

The sword’s blade was a tranquil blue color, slender yet sharp enough to cut through metal and stone.

Seeing it, Long Chen couldn’t help but be curious and asked:

"This sword seems extraordinary. What’s its name?" frёeωebɳovel.com

Dan smiled faintly, raising the sword at his waist and replied:

"This sword is called Lingxu Sword."

"I obtained it by chance in the Ancient Secret Realm. I was indeed very lucky, and with the strong support of my family, I wouldn’t have obtained this sword otherwise."

With that said, Dan handed the Lingxu Sword to Long Chen, allowing him to inspect it carefully.

The sword’s elegant and beautiful blade shone with a dazzling silver brilliance, making it impossible to look at directly.

The verdant leather scabbard of the sword was naturally exquisite, adorned with eighteen North Sea Blood Jade Hearts, giving it an unparalleled luxury.

"Lingxu Sword?!"

"What an artistic name."

"So, Dan, you’ve been to the Ancient Secret Realm already?"

Long Chen asked, intrigued by this mysterious Ancient Secret Realm.

According to official sources, this realm offered supreme opportunities. Even an ordinary outsider might encounter great fortune and rise to prominence.

"Yeah, after the update in ’Great Lord,’ with my family’s help, I managed to enter and obtain this treasure."

Dan recalled his past experiences, smiling broadly.

After all, the Lingxu Sword was extraordinary. It was an orange-grade epic weapon, considered top-notch even among epic weapons, with the potential to advance further and become a golden artifact.

However, such advancement would require extremely rare and top-quality materials.

Earlier, Long Chen had checked the approximate data of the Lingxu Sword through the system but only received an introduction about the sword.

"In ancient Qin times, it was the sword of Lingxu Tianzun Zhang Liang. Due to the ancient battle between gods and demons, the sword suffered severe damage, demoting it from an artifact to an epic weapon..."

"Though a weapon of utility, it lacks any trace of bloodshed, exuding an ethereal immortal spirit, a choice of exceptional craftsmanship."

"Forging will and illuminating the heart with the sword, the swordsmith penetrates the mortal world, comprehends the heavens and the earth, navigating through turbulent times for years, yet without encountering an extraordinary talent, it will not find its true master."

"In the empty valley facing the wind, it surpasses the mundane."

So powerful!

It seemed necessary for him to enter the Ancient Secret Realm after the continental tournament ended.

Rubbing his chin, Long Chen secretly made up his mind.

The treasures in this Ancient Secret Realm were indeed extraordinary, housing weapons and equipment left over from the ancient Qin Dynasty.

Perhaps there were long-lost precious elixirs or rare top-grade materials!

Long Chen thought about his own weapon, the Qilin Horn Spear. Although it was currently just an orange-grade epic weapon, if he could collect Qilin essence blood and other materials, he could upgrade it to the golden artifact "Qilin Horn Spear."

Similarly, if Zuo Zhicai’s weapon, the Phoenix Feather Fan, could obtain feathers from exotic phoenixes or avian beasts, it could also advance to become the golden artifact "Floating Wanderer."

Each weapon held its own path to advancement.

Previously, due to the lack of a promotion route, they could only use them temporarily.

But now, seeing Dan’s Lingxu Sword, Long Chen had a sudden inspiration.

However, judging from Dan’s tone, the Ancient Secret Realm was extremely dangerous. Without the protection and support of his family, it would be difficult to obtain the Lingxu Sword.

Still, Long Chen wasn’t afraid. While Dan had family protection, he had the support of his trusted strategists and mighty generals.

He was determined to go to the Ancient Secret Realm.

Just then, Dan respectfully inquired, "Long Brother, you are wise and resourceful. Do you have any strategies to help us break through the city?"

Collecting his thoughts, Long Chen looked towards the main city of New Jia Po in the distance.

He clasped his fists towards Dan and said, "By now, the movements of our two armies have likely been discovered by enemy spies."

"Why not directly press our forces to the border?"

After a moment of contemplation, a flash of brilliance passed through Long Chen’s eyes, and he smiled while clasping his fists, "Besides that, we can also..."

Dan leaned in to listen, and as time passed, his expression grew increasingly delighted and excited.
