Chapter 934: Mountain Soul

Who’s talking?

Where is this?

Su Han grew wary, immediately activating the Nine Heavens Eye, wanting to pierce through illusion and see through everything around him.

Yet even when he looked with the Nine Heavens Eye, all around was still pitch-black, without the slightest bit of light, without any patterns at all, as if this were an eternal dark space.

"Who are you?"

Su Han immediately put on the Ghostly Face Mask and at the same time unleashed his strongest defense, the Demonic Qi in his body circulating as he prepared to fight at any moment.

Myriad Sword Mountain was the holy land of the Myriad Swords Sect, so how could he suddenly fall into such a dark space?

Moreover, the Myriad Swords Sect had long since met extinction; now only Li Mingliang and Li Qingyue, those two descendants, were left. How could there still be others alive? And even if someone from the Myriad Swords Sect really had survived, how could they possibly escape the Flying Immortal Great Emperor’s Dharma Eye?

Su Han did not know who the speaker was, nor did he know whether the other party was enemy or friend, but he was extremely cautious and did not dare be the least bit careless.

"Don’t be nervous, I bear you no malice!"

That voice sounded again, and at this moment, in front of Su Han, a ray of white light lit up. This white light was bright but not glaring, particularly striking in this dark space.

Within the white light was a white-bearded old man—no, not just his beard was white; his hair, his eyebrows, his clothes, even his skin were all white.

From head to toe, all of him was one piece of white. If not for the outlines of his facial features, Su Han probably wouldn’t even be able to make him out.

This old man did not look like the Yin Yang Great Emperor with his immortal demeanor; instead, his posture was straight and tall, sharp like a sword, as if he were an Unparalleled Divine Sword that could pierce the firmament and sever reincarnation.

At this moment, the old man was looking at Su Han, his expression faint, without any condescending gaze from on high, but rather an attitude of equality. He just stood there, not releasing any powerful killing intent or hostility, seeming truly to bear Su Han no ill will.

"Allow me to introduce myself: this old man is the Mountain Soul of Myriad Sword Mountain!"

The old man gave his name, which took Su Han by surprise.

The Mountain Soul of Myriad Sword Mountain?

So the old man in front of him wasn’t a descendant of the Myriad Swords Sect, but the mountain itself, Myriad Sword Mountain?

Su Han had long known that this Myriad Sword Mountain was no ordinary thing. It was forged from Taibai adamantine, containing boundless Golden Spirit Energy, the best material for forging divine weapons.

He just had never imagined that such a Myriad Sword Mountain would not only give birth to Spiritual Wisdom, but even be able to transform into human form.

Of course, Su Han knew that what he faced now wasn’t an actual person, but a ray of light; even so, it was already remarkable.

"From you, I sensed the aura of the Myriad Swords Sect, yet you are not a descendant of the Myriad Swords Sect. You must know the sect’s descendant, and your relationship should be quite close. I wonder if this old man’s guess is correct?"

The old man spoke, his eyes incomparably sharp, as if he could see straight through Su Han.

"Correct. The sole descendant of the Myriad Swords Sect is now my follower."

Su Han nodded, not hiding anything and directly admitting it. He could tell that this Mountain Soul had summoned him alone because of the Myriad Swords Sect; otherwise, it would never have shown itself.

"A follower? Can you tell me about the current state of the Myriad Swords Sect?"

The Mountain Soul paused slightly, recalling the past, a faint dimness appearing in its eyes.

"The Myriad Swords Sect is already in name only. Now there are only two descendants still alive..."

This wasn’t much of a secret, so Su Han directly spoke and told the Mountain Soul.

"Ah, in that war back then, the Myriad Swords Sect was destroyed. For two lines of blood to remain to this day is already fortune within misfortune."

Upon hearing this, the Mountain Soul’s expression grew dark. Only after a long while did it let out a sigh, filled with indescribable desolation.

It had seen the brilliance of the Myriad Swords Sect and now had lived through its decline; naturally, its emotions fluctuated greatly. But it had survived endless ages and had long seen through many things, so it quickly adjusted its mood.

"Although you are not a descendant of the Myriad Swords Sect, I sense another familiar aura on you."

The Mountain Soul stared at Su Han, its gaze bright, hoping Su Han would answer truthfully.

"One Sword Breaks Myriad Spells!"

Su Han wasted no words and directly unleashed the strongest Divine Method he had obtained from the Tai Cang Sword God.

Watching the Slaughter Sword Qi Su Han released, the Mountain Soul’s eyes fluctuated violently, its whole body trembling, incomparably excited.

"It really is the Tai Cang Sword God!"

As the Mountain Soul of Myriad Sword Mountain, it naturally recognized the Tai Cang Sword God’s signature supreme art.

"I didn’t expect the Tai Cang Sword God to actually leave behind a legacy, and for you to have obtained it. No wonder you would look after the descendants of the Myriad Swords Sect!"

The Mountain Soul now understood the relationship between Su Han and the Myriad Swords Sect, and the stone hanging in its heart finally fell.

"Since you are the Tai Cang Sword God’s descendant and have such close ties with my Myriad Swords Sect, there are some things I won’t hide from you."

"In fact, I already noticed you the last time you came, but there was a Great Emperor at your side then, and I couldn’t show myself. However, I did send the Sword Nurturing Gourd to you. You must have already experienced the gourd’s supreme wonders."

Su Han was slightly stunned; he hadn’t expected the Sword Nurturing Gourd to be something the Mountain Soul had deliberately given him. No wonder obtaining it at that time had been so smoothly it felt almost excessive.

"The Sword Nurturing Gourd is a secret treasure of the Myriad Swords Sect, but it comes from beyond the heavens. To be sealed here is truly a waste, so I sent it to you, hoping you can repair it and let its divine might resurface."

"Aside from that, I can also grant you a stroke of fortune, to help your Sword Intent rise and your Swordsmanship advance!"

The Mountain Soul spoke, offering a great gift.

What it spoke of as fortune was a baptism of Sword Intent. This was not like the confrontation between Su Han and the Sword Intent of Ages on Mount Hua, but a true baptism, capable of elevating Su Han’s Sword Intent, even bringing about a sublimation.

"What do you want me to do?"

Su Han did not let this great gift cloud his mind. He knew there was no free lunch in the world; since the Mountain Soul was giving him such a gift, it must have a request, and that request would certainly not be small.

"I only have one condition: take me to see Li Qingyue!"

The Mountain Soul did not beat around the bush and directly stated its purpose.

Su Han might be the Tai Cang Sword God’s descendant, but in the end he could only be considered half a descendant of the Myriad Swords Sect, whereas Li Qingyue and Li Mingliang were truly orthodox. It was just that Li Mingliang was too old and his potential limited, so the Mountain Soul had set its sights on Li Qingyue.

It wanted to become Li Qingyue’s master and pass down the Myriad Swords Sect’s inherited memories in their entirety to her!

"Can you get out of here?"

Su Han did not agree immediately and instead looked at the Mountain Soul in curiosity.

Myriad Sword Mountain was a great treasure; the Flying Immortal Great Emperor would not let it go easily. Even with the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince as a cover, there was no way Su Han could move such a massive Myriad Sword Mountain away.

"My Original Body cannot leave, but I am only a strand of Divine Sense. I can temporarily reside in your sea of consciousness and follow you out together!"

The Mountain Soul had long since thought this through, and now it revealed its method.

It looked at Su Han, waiting for his decision, and Su Han did not hesitate for too long:

"I agree."
