Sword Aura to the Heavens-Chapter 247 - 242 Inheritance

Li Fan saw this Sword City, which seemed similar to what he had seen when questioning the sword, yet somehow different.

This Sword City appeared to have been destroyed, with ruins and broken walls everywhere. Many broken swords were stuck into the ground, each exuding a powerful Sword Intent as if the city had once experienced an ancient battle.

Ahead of him, at the highest point of the magnificent Sword City, there was also a gigantic broken sword pierced at the pinnacle of the city tower, an ancient aura emanating from within the sword. freёnovelkiss.com

The sword was softly singing, as if mourning.

"Did an ancient battle erupt here, causing the fall of the sword’s master, and thus leaving this Secret Realm behind?" Li Fan pondered upon seeing the scene, this was his speculation.

The person who left behind the Secret Realm, this kind of Sword Cultivator must possess extraordinary abilities. Could it be the legendary Sword Immortal?

Li Fan’s consciousness moved forward and arrived a short distance in front of the broken sword, which hummed with ancient aura. At this moment, an illusory figure emerged from within the broken sword, a sharp-looking man.

"Li Fan greets Senior." Li Fan respectfully bowed.

This man, is he a Sword Soul?

"You seized Sword Intent, opening the pathway to arrive here. What do you wish for?" the man asked. Li Fan faintly guessed upon hearing his words that he might not be the first to open the pathway to this place.

The previous individual was probably Xuanyuan Sword himself.

Xuanyuan Sword could have been the first to arrive here, thus Xuanyuan Sword presides over the entrance to the Secret Realm.

"My friend has been injured, and I desire a treasure that can heal Divine Soul," Li Fan responded. His primary goal in seizing the Sword Intent was to heal Lu Yuan’s injuries.

"There is no healing treasure for Divine Soul here, but I can impart Divine Soul cultivation techniques that will aid her in gradually restoring her damaged Divine Soul," the figure said.

"Thank you, Senior." Li Fan naturally had no bargaining position, and the Divine Soul cultivation techniques within the Secret Realm must be extraordinary. Lu Yuan obtaining them should be considered a stroke of fortune.

As for the damaged Divine Soul, he would see if there might be an opportunity outside to find treasures to repair the Divine Soul.

A brilliant light flashed, and moments later, as Li Fan turned around, he saw an illusory figure formed by Lu Yuan’s consciousness come into the space. She was initially stunned by the sight before her, then came to Li Fan’s side and respectfully greeted the man: "Junior Lu Yuan greets Senior."

"I will transmit to you a set of Divine Soul cultivation techniques, suited for your cultivation. This technique is called the Thousand Soul Sword Canon, which complements you. After practicing, you can also restore your damaged Primordial Spirit."

Lu Yuan was startled, turning to Li Fan to say, "Senior, if you gift me the cultivation technique, then what about him?"

She didn’t wish for Li Fan to exchange the opportunity he seized by Sword Intent all for her cultivation techniques.

This Thousand Soul Sword Canon is undoubtedly an extraordinary cultivation technique, but it’s an opportunity seized by Li Fan.

"You both share a profound bond. He will have his own cultivation opportunities," the man said. Only then did Lu Yuan find relief, and soon saw a beam of light fall on her brow, causing her to close her eyes with a vast influx of information into her mind.

After a while, when Lu Yuan reopened her eyes, she once again bowed and said, "Thank you, Senior, for the teachings."

This Thousand Soul Sword Canon, indeed perfectly complements the Immortal Soul Guide Sword Dao she practiced, they could be mutually reinforcing, forming a Refining God Sword Path.

If combined with the Soul Burning Sword Dao, it would be even stronger...

Additionally, practicing the Thousand Soul Sword Canon could also resist damage from practicing the Soul Burning Sword Dao.

For her, this indeed was considered an immense opportunity.

The figure then turned to Li Fan and said, "This Sword Dao is also suitable for you, hence I’ll impart it to you as well."

After he finished speaking, a beam of light likewise fell onto Li Fan’s brow. Instantly, Li Fan’s consciousness was enriched with numerous memories and images, precisely about the Thousand Soul Sword Canon.

Lu Yuan showed a delighted expression, as Li Fan too was imparted with the Thousand Soul Sword Canon, and thus could practice the same Sword Dao as her.

Furthermore, Li Fan might also inherit other Sword Dao.

"Thank you, Senior, for the teachings," Li Fan expressed gratitude to the man after absorbing the memories.

"Furthermore, I will transmit to you the Heavenly Essence Sword Scripture, which will likewise complement your cultivation," the man continued, with Li Fan responding with a bow, "Alright."

Upon his words, another beam of light fell onto Li Fan’s brow, swiftly imparting him the second cultivation technique beyond the Thousand Soul Sword Canon, the Heavenly Essence Sword Scripture.

Upon absorbing it, Li Fan discovered that the Heavenly Essence Sword Scripture encompasses all things and can be differentiated into various sword techniques. After exiting, he could copy a portion of it to present to Xuanyuan Sword Dojo.

"You questioned the sword with Seven Swords, seized Sword Intent, and came here, if so, this broken sword shall also be gifted to you. You can use it to refine your Sword Seed."

The figure continued, and as his voice fell, the broken sword embedded in Sword City soared into the sky, with all the swords throughout the city resonating in unison.

The broken sword flew towards Li Fan, arriving before him, transforming into an ordinary broken sword. It appeared unremarkable, yet Li Fan could sense its sharpness.

"Enter your consciousness into it and establish contact with it," the figure continued. Li Fan nodded, his consciousness transforming into an illusory image, merging into the broken sword.

At the moment Li Fan’s consciousness entered the broken sword.

Outside, within the great hall, the giant sword trembled violently, with all the swords within the hall resonating together.

"What happened?"

The people around glanced around, then turned their gaze to Li Fan and saw a powerful beam of light illuminating him from the giant sword.

This made everyone realize that it was indeed Li Fan who caused the disturbance.

He seized countless strands of Sword Intent and is very likely to have secured great fortune, but what exactly did he obtain?

Those who entered the grand hall also had their own gains.

After some time, a beam of light shot from the giant sword into Li Fan’s body, and then Li Fan opened his eyes.

His eyes glinted sharply. He glanced down at Lu Yuan, who he was holding in his arms. Lu Yuan also woke up at that moment, her eyes gazing into his, and everything was understood without words.

This Thousand Soul Sword Canon is not weaker than the Immortal Soul Guide inherited from the predecessors of the Li Mountain Sword Dao. It is the most supreme sword cultivation technique, and this secret realm is likely left by an existence at the Sword Saint level. The Heavenly Essence Sword Scripture that Li Fan obtained is naturally no weaker than the Thousand Soul Sword Canon.

Lu Yuan thought to herself, feeling happy for Li Fan, for he now carries another legacy on his body.

Furthermore, that broken sword also belongs to Li Fan.

The core sword within this secret realm, even if it’s a broken sword, Lu Yuan understood its significance.

This broken sword is very likely the one used by the master of this secret realm in the past.

She also speculated that this secret realm was probably first accidentally opened by the Xuanyuan Sword. Afterwards, the Xuanyuan Sword guarded the secret realm, allowing the people of Da Li to come in and cultivate, competing for opportunities.

Li Fan is very likely considered to have obtained the secret realm inheritance.

At this moment, the palace shook violently, causing everyone inside the hall to pause and look around in wonder. What was happening?

The swords within the Sword Pavilion echoed with piercing sounds. The strongest giant sword emitted a strong light, and in an instant, everyone felt an indomitable force fall upon them, followed by the sensation of being enveloped by an invisible force.

"Buzz..."

Li Fan took a few steps back before stabilizing himself, surrounded by a dense crowd of people.

At this moment, they were no longer within the secret realm but at the entrance of the Xuanyuan Sword Dojo, the secret realm’s entry point.

"We’re out?"

"Where’s my fortune? I haven’t obtained my chance yet?"

"What happened?"

People looked around, some murmuring in frustration, lifting their heads to look at the secret realm’s entrance. They saw the giant sword gradually dimming, the passage closing.

The Xuanyuan Sword Dojo itself seemed to tremble.

A hint of an unusual expression appeared in Li Fan’s eyes. Was this because of him?

It seemed others also reached the same conclusion, and in an instant, many eyes fell on Li Fan.

Yet their gazes were complex.

Before entering the secret realm, Li Fan was still viewed by them as an arrogant genius without self-awareness.

But after the journey through the secret realm, everyone saw Li Fan anew, this sword cultivator from Li Mountain.

Li Fan had killed so many people inside the secret realm that coming out of it, there would probably be another storm of bloodshed, especially with the Shadow Bearing Sword Arena. How would Li Fan explain it?

Ying Ze, Qu Lan, and others all died by his hands.

Furthermore, it was very likely because of him that the secret realm closed.

So, what fortune did Li Fan gain?

This is likely to stir up a turmoil as well.

Li Fan naturally thought of it too, realizing that some troubles were inevitable.

He glanced down at Lu Yuan.

"I think I can stand up now," Lu Yuan looked at Li Fan and blinked.

"Ah, okay..."

Li Fan looked down at the face so close to him. Previously in the secret realm, due to Lu Yuan’s severe injury, he had been holding her while fighting, so nothing felt inappropriate.

But now, out of the secret realm and the turmoil settled, it felt slightly ambiguous.

Lu Yuan stood upright, and Li Fan still supported her, saying, "Even if you’ve recovered a bit, we still need to find a treasure that can repair your Divine Soul."

The Thousand Soul Sword Canon can repair the Divine Soul, but it is a cultivation technique and likely cannot achieve immediate results.

The injury to Lu Yuan’s Divine Soul was severe, and even standing was somewhat unstable. A treasure for healing the Divine Soul was still necessary, and they would think of a way upon returning. At that time, they could ask Senior Brother and the others.

"Got it."

Lu Yuan also felt a bit odd at this moment. In the past, they were friends and fellow disciples, interacting naturally.

But now, why did it feel a little off?
