Chapter 1794 - 459: Sword Embarks on a New Journey (Part 3)

Chapter 1794: Chapter 459: Sword Embarks on a New Journey (Part 3)

"Stop talking, hurry!"

After a series of operations, using the remote trading feature of the player system, an item labeled [Cang Xuan Remains] entered Tu Hu’s space bag.

He immediately took it out.

He carefully stepped forward and lifted it, arranging the posture, using his hand to wipe away the dust on it, trying his best to restore its solemn sitting position, and then solemnly placed it back in its original spot.

But the sword that accompanied Cang Xuan for a lifetime might never be found again.

It was bought in the trading house and disappeared like a stone thrown into the sea.

Not even knowing who bought it.

Posting inquiries on the forum is useless; with so many new posts every day, his anonymous post couldn’t stir any waves.

After sighing in his heart, Tu Hu took two steps back and looked at Cang Xuan’s cross-legged sitting posture.

A peerless swordsman who once wrote the final elegy for a civilization with one person and one sword: Cang Xuan.

Now, the colors have faded, sitting on the ground as if just a piece of deadwood.

But he received the sword dao legacy gifted by the other party, although it was through the player and guidance with cheat-like methods, this cause and effect are real.

"Receiving your legacy, I might as well be half your disciple..." Tu Hu silently thought to himself.

He tidied up his attire, faced Cang Xuan’s remains, and bowed with a respectful expression:

"Senior, for this fate, thank you."

After rising, he no longer lingered, turned around, and walked away with large strides.

...

He passed through the deep passage and returned to the surface of the Illusion Spirit Wilderness.

The outside world was dim, with thin mist spreading between the ruins.

But Tu Hu didn’t intend to directly deconstruct and return to the city.

He generated a golden guardian giant sword and tried swinging it.

Block, strike.

After consecutively swinging the sword several times, a Challenger Tip sounded in his mind:

[Challenger Tip: Guardian Sword Stance Understanding +0.1, current Special Life Soul Level: 73 (1/98572), highest unseal level up to: 528, subsequent level-ups require self-understanding to improve Special Life Soul Level.]

This sound was music to Tu Hu’s ears.

It meant each swing of the sword spared a bit of sacrificial power.

What he swung was not a sword, but all sacrificial power.

He thus swung the sword forward, heading toward the teleport point in the Phantom Spirit Wilderness Region.

The journey was lengthy; it might take half a month to complete.

But as he had not walked far from the entrance of the great hall, the sound of rustling came from a section of broken walls ahead.

Three creatures resembling hyenas, surrounded by dark purple energy, leaped out of the shadows, with their eyes locking onto Tu Hu, red embers glistening, drool dripping from their mouths filled with sharp teeth, corroding the ground.

They apparently sniffed out the life aura and came searching.

In the past, Tu Hu would have definitely prepared to engage with his body and let his teammates output.

But at this moment, after glancing at the decomposition information, he felt an incomparable calm inside.

"Perfect timing, I can test the sword on you guys."

He tightened his grip on the giant sword, taking a defensive stance.

Then the three vicious dogs lunged forward fiercely.

Tu Hu held the sword horizontally in front of him, assuming a simple block stance.

There were no visible phenomena.

But at the moment his blocking stance formed, the three lunging corrupt speech hounds seemed to slam into an absolutely invisible wall.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The dull sound of impact rang out repeatedly.

The hounds’ forward momentum stopped abruptly, showing confused expressions on their fierce faces, claws scratching futilely in the air before Tu Hu, their dark energy capable of tearing steel and corrosive psychic shrieks erased, dissipating into invisibility before closing in.

The next second, Tu Hu’s gaze hardened, and the giant sword shifted from defense to offense, thrusting forward.

Yet still, it was an ordinary action, with no sword qi rampant or dazzling light.

But at the moment his sword’s intention locked onto the three hounds.

Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!

The bodies of the three corrupt speech hounds violently shook as if pierced by an invisible blade.

The dark energy wrapped around them instantly shattered, and the red light in their eyes dimmed like extinguished candle flames.

Their massive bodies lost all strength, slumping to the ground limp, life already severed.

From start to finish, Tu Hu’s steps hadn’t moved an inch, and there was no physical contact with the monsters at all.

He lowered his hand, looked at the mist-forming monsters at the front, and beyond the shock in his heart, there was an indescribable thrill.

Invisible block, traceless sword.

Unassuming yet incomprehensibly powerful.

Though it was only a basic application of the Guardian Sword Stance, still far from the terrifying domain enveloping ten thousand meters by Mr. Cang Xuan Sr., it had already shown potential and power that let him see infinite possibilities.

At this moment, hunting reward tips and Sword Momentum Understanding rewards sounded continuously in his mind.

[Challenger Tip: Killed Monster "Blood Dog", gained sacrificial power reward: 328 points.]

[Challenger Tip: Killed Monster "Blood Dog"...]

[Challenger Tip: Guardian Sword Stance Understanding +2...]

"Worth it! This 2.5 million sacrificial power was well-spent!"

He took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and cast his gaze into the depths of the wilderness with sharp eyes.

Judging from the feedback from the tips, actual combat clearly speeds up Sword Momentum Understanding.

This was also a shortcut for enhancement; combining sacrificial power input later, unsealing the fusion of the three sword stances is just around the corner.

He made up his mind to walk to the nearest teleport point while hunting monsters along the way.

He would familiarize himself with the use of Guardian Sword Stance in actual combat and deepen comprehension.

After returning to Imperial Tomb Village, he planned to contact the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce to inquire about creating the Space Transmission Array.

Then he would set off to the Small World, the hometown of Mr. Cang Xuan Sr., to leave the wisdom crystal of the Dream Weaving Clan on that land.

This commission, he could entirely refuse.

He could even now casually discard the "Dream Weaving Crystal Stone" in any corner of this wilderness or toss it directly to Brother Di Zhao.

After all, "tasks" in the game are not constrained by a mandatory system.

But the image of Shadow’s final release, yet with a hint of attachment, the lonely back of Cang Xuan sitting deep in the great hall, and the Dream Weaving Civilization’s choice to entrust the civilization’s seeds to the future in the last moments stirred him profoundly.

"Though it’s just a game, I’ve never broken a promise once made." Tu Hu whispered to himself, but the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.

He wasn’t someone who easily made promises, but once taken, he would do his best to fulfill it.

It had nothing to do with the amount of reward or the difficulty of the task, only with his principles in dealing with people.

He accepted the legacy from the old man, and he acknowledged this cause and effect.

With his mind decided, he no longer hesitated, striding toward the map’s marked teleport point.
