The Unparalleled Sword Emperor

Chapter 2824: Chapter 2799: Strange Manifestations

Lin Bai sat cross-legged on the ground, as his mind entered the realm, a thin mist gradually enveloped the Cave Mansion of Swordgod Dugu Yunhe.

Lin Bai circulated his Sword Intention, spreading it throughout the entire cave, attempting to communicate with the remnants of Swordgod Dugu Yunhe’s sword intention left inside.

After half an hour, Lin Bai shook his head helplessly and opened his eyes, murmuring: "It’s impossible, too much time has passed, and the sword intention within this Cave Mansion has mostly dissipated!"

"Trying to use sword intention to connect with Dugu Yunhe’s sword intention is essentially impossible now."

"Then I must find another way."

Lin Bai stood up from the ground and walked inside the Cave Mansion, observing the obscure characters left on the stone walls and some faintly visible sword marks around him.

"What do these characters and sword marks truly represent?"

Lin Bai said with a strange expression.

Walking back and forth inside the cave several times, Lin Bai stopped once more, whispering: "This cave has eighteen sword marks and twenty-seven characters!"

"Eighteen sword marks..."

"Twenty-seven characters..."

"What could this signify?"

"Moreover, these sword marks and characters, through the passage of time, are now nearly impossible to discern."

Lin Bai shook his head, troubled.

Roaming the cave again, Lin Bai felt strongly that the mysteries of "the Mist Sword Skill" lay within those eighteen sword marks and twenty-seven characters.

Immediately, Lin Bai examined the sword marks and characters within the cave once more.

However, after this observation, Lin Bai was suddenly shocked and incredulously said: "How is this possible... how have they become nineteen sword marks and thirty-one characters?"

"They were clearly eighteen sword marks and twenty-seven characters just now!"

Lin Bai was slightly startled, thinking he had counted wrong. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Immediately, Lin Bai hurried back to the cave entrance and began counting the sword marks and characters meticulously again.

And this time, Lin Bai found forty-one sword marks and seventy-two characters.

"Once again, forty-one sword marks and seventy-two characters?"

Lin Bai frowned slightly.

Promptly, Lin Bai attempted once more and counted all over.

This time, Lin Bai discovered eighty-one sword marks and seven hundred twenty characters within the cave.

"It’s really strange, every time I recount, the number of characters and sword marks in this cave increases significantly, how can this be?" Lin Bai stood puzzled within the cave.

Although Lin Bai did not understand why this was happening.

Yet this piqued Lin Bai’s interest, he smiled: "I want to see just how many sword marks and characters this cave can contain..."

"Let’s go again!"

Lin Bai returned to the entrance of the cave and meticulously recounted the sword marks once more.

"Ninety-nine sword marks..."

"A hundred twenty-seven sword marks..."

"Three hundred sixty sword marks..."

"..."

"Nine hundred eighty-two characters..."

"One thousand five hundred thirty-one characters..."

"Three thousand three hundred thirty-nine characters..."

"..."

As Lin Bai constantly traversed back and forth inside the cave, the number of sword marks he saw grew, and the number of characters increased as well!

At this moment, Lin Bai stood within the cave, raising his head, and saw the walls densely packed with sword marks, and between those marks, some characters could be vaguely seen.

Within the Cave Mansion of Swordgod Dugu Yunhe, Lin Bai counted continuously for three days.

And as Lin Bai’s spirit grew tense, the more sword marks and characters he counted, the more intense the pain in his head became. freewebnovёl.ƈom

When Lin Bai counted to "seven hundred twenty sword marks", his head felt on the verge of exploding, as if a force inside was striving to shatter his skull.

"Again!"

Lin Bai gritted his teeth and continued counting.

On the fifth day, Lin Bai saw nine hundred ninety-nine sword marks and fifteen thousand characters, and at this moment, Lin Bai reached his limit, a mysterious force inside his body seemed to be violently tearing at his flesh, wanting to rip him apart!

"Nine hundred ninety-nine sword marks, fifteen thousand characters!"

"Is this the total count of sword marks and characters within this Cave Mansion?"

Lin Bai’s face turned iron green, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the sword marks and characters in the cave.

Since three hours ago, when Lin Bai carefully recounted, the text in the cave ceased to increase, consistently maintaining nine hundred ninety-nine sword marks and fifteen thousand characters.

Lin Bai tried several times, confirming that this number would not change.

Lin Bai stood within the cave, his eyes bloodshot, and looked up, noticing the surrounding cave walls densely filled with sword marks, but within these sword marks, there was a single character.

These characters were spaced apart, nearly impossible to form a coherent sentence.

"So what do these sword marks and these characters truly symbolize?"

Lin Bai’s head throbbed, his mood started to grow restless, his words vaguely hinted at a trace of killing intent.

Staring at these sword marks, observing these characters.

With his head seemingly about to burst, Lin Bai was completely unprepared to ponder the secrets of these sword marks and characters.

In frustration, Lin Bai could only sit down first and slowly begin to comprehend the mystery within them.

After stabilizing his fluctuating emotions, Lin Bai gazed at the sword marks and characters once again.

Suddenly at that moment, Lin Bai’s eyes flickered, and he whispered: "There’s nothing strange about these sword marks, but these characters... seem..."

"These characters, they don’t appear to be characters, but rather... magic circle!"

"Is there a formation within this Cave Mansion?"

Lin Bai’s eyes lit up, standing up from the ground, he began selecting characters among the sword marks, and began arranging them in his mind.

Immediately at this moment, Lin Bai directed a Sword Intention onto one of the characters, which instantly radiated a golden light, followed by dazzling golden light emanating from the surrounding sword marks.

"It really is a formation!"

Lin Bai’s gaze paused.

Immediately using Sword Intention to light up other characters.

But when Lin Bai’s Sword Intention touched another character, it did not light up; rather, the previously lit characters dimmed instantly.

"Hmm?" Lin Bai was puzzled, examining the characters he initially illuminated, standing in front and pondering for a long time, he said: "Is it because I’m lighting them in the wrong sequence?"

"If I make a mistake in the sequence, it will cause the previously lit characters to extinguish!"

"So where indeed lies the secret to reigniting this formation?"

Lin Bai pondered long and hard, finally his gaze fell upon those sword marks.

At this point, Lin Bai laughed bitterly and said: "Dugu Yunhe, oh Dugu Yunhe, you truly are an old fox!"

"Leaving unseen sword marks and characters within this cave, unless a true Sword Art Genius arrives, not to mention needing to pay three visits, only then can one see the sword marks and characters you hid!"

"And even upon seeing them, we still need to decipher the secrets within your sword marks and characters!"

"The characters are the key to activating the magic circle!"

"While the sword marks are the sequence to illuminate the characters!"

Lin Bai smiled faintly, returning to the cave entrance, he looked up at the left wall, where between a stretch of sword marks, there were a hundred twenty characters.

Among these hundred twenty characters, Lin Bai carefully considered them, based on the slashing techniques and methods marked by the sword cuts, deliberating step by step.

Immediately, Lin Bai walked over, his Sword Intention activating one by one, the characters illuminating on this stone wall successively.
