Chapter 147: The Famous Sword Conference

  "It's indeed true that where there are people, there is a world of its own. Whether it's family, sects, or even a small team of three to five people, there will be conflicts." Xia Lin sighed and then thought of something, his face looking somewhat strange, "Wait a minute, you said Huo Jian's surname is Jian, he wouldn't be reading his name backwards, would he? Huo Jian read backwards is..."

  "Of course not." Dongfang Xuan looked at him with an inexplicable gaze, "As expected, I knew it. This is the true nature. No matter how heroic you appear to be on the surface, you can't hide your sinister intentions."

  Suddenly, Xia Lin's head was filled with black lines. This guy had been with him for a long time, and his cultivation hadn't made much progress, but he had learned these terms very quickly.

  "He took his mother's surname Huo after leaving Jianjia, so he was named Huo Jian, that's all," said Dongfang Xuan.

  "Oh, I see." Xia Lin nodded and then smiled wryly: "Why bother prying into other people's business? Although we're all friends, at least respect their privacy. And even if we knew, there's no way to help him now. It's like a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river - it can't even save itself."

  Dongfang Xuan slightly shook his head, "It's precisely because of the Heifeng Stronghold crisis that I investigated them."

  At this point, Dongfang Xuan's expression turned serious. "The Jiang family of Jingzhou may not necessarily exert great force, but even so, casually eliminating a few powerful Tianluo Road strongmen is not something we can withstand. Therefore, all available resources must be mobilized."

  "Red-haired old freak, white-haired Mo Tian, Huo Jian and so on... All friends can be called to help if possible. It's just a pity that although we participated in the secret realm together, not many are familiar with each other. Only these three people are willing to risk their lives for each other, while others, humph, are nothing but white-eyed wolves." Dongfang Xuan said, his face full of disgust.

  "You actually went looking for them?" Xia Lin looked at him in shock.

  "Of course, no need to fight for it. Everyone will have their own strength." Dongfang Xuan said matter-of-factly.

  Xia Lin smiled bitterly: "Apart from being familiar with the three of them, the others are just passing acquaintances. Although I saved their lives, it's clear that they won't be able to help much even if they come over. No need to mind. Besides, with their abilities, coming over wouldn't make a difference anyway."

  "En, yes." Dongfang Xuan nodded and continued to analyze: "The red-haired old monster went back to deal with his own affairs, probably won't make it. The white-haired Mo Tian probably went back to remove his green hat, probably no time either. And the only one who can rush over is Huo Jian, so I investigated a bit, but unfortunately, Huo Jian seems to have no time either."

  "What? Now that you've broken through the second stage of Qingyun, are you planning on going back to take revenge?" Xia Lin asked with a smile.

  "Revenge?" Dongfang Xuan shook his head, "What a joke. Linjiang City has cultivators of the Return to Origin Realm, and Jianye City is at least ten times larger than Linjiang City! And Jianye City was built by the Jian family with their own hands. Do you think there will be fewer cultivators of the Return to Origin Realm in Jianye City? A mere Qi Cloud Two Changes can't stir up much trouble, let alone... it's said that the ancestor of the Jian family is a powerful expert of the Qi Cloud Five Changes! If Ho Jian really dared to recklessly charge forward, he'd probably be slapped to the ground and wouldn't even be able to crawl out."

  "Building a home is actually so powerful?"

  Xia subconsciously ignored Dongfang Xuan's metaphor and asked: "If it's not for revenge, what else is there?"

  "It can't be said that it's not revenge." Dongfang Xuan smiled wryly, "I've been busy lately, I almost forgot. Today is the day Jianjia opens the Sword Pool."

  "Jianjia, Jianchi, today?" Xia Lin's eyes lit up in front of him, as if he had thought of something.

  "Not bad. Jianjia is a completely sword-repairing family, and you should be able to see this from Huo Jian's body. The disciples of the Jianjia family are all extremely powerful and are extreme attacking factions. It is said that the Jianjia family obtained a treasure sword a long time ago, and based on the mysterious treasure sword, they actually formed a sword pool, which can greatly improve their understanding of swordsmanship if they persist in being nearby, and from then on, they made a name for themselves and created the Jianjia family, developing until now."

  Later, everyone discovered that the treasure sword was actually the legendary Six-Piece Mysterious Treasure! The Six-Piece Mysterious Treasure is extremely rare, and many people had thoughts of robbing it. However, no matter how strong the incoming person was, they were all beheaded one by one! This was because the old ancestor was a powerful expert among the top five of the Blue Clouds, and when combined with the terrifying Mysterious Treasure in his hand, his strength was formidable, and ordinary Blue Clouds experts were not his match. As for those at higher levels, who were striving to break through the Divine Realm, who would have the mind to pay attention to these things...

  "So later, Jianjia became the place of worship for all sword cultivators in Jingzhou City. Every year, Jianjia would hold a famous Swordsmanship Conference, inviting countless warriors to attend. The top three winners would have the opportunity to cultivate and gain insight near the Sword Pool. The first-place winner would receive a fourth-grade Xuanbao, while others would have the chance to join Jianjia. As a result, Jianjia gained both fame and wealth, becoming increasingly powerful."

  "Sixth-grade Xuanbao... Jianchi... Open today..." Xia Lin's eyes grew brighter, his mind stirred, and he re-entered the Transmission Hall to take another look at the map in front of the Meteorite Pavilion.

  That direction - that arrow - that location, the direction it points to, is precisely Jianye City!

  The opening of Meteorite Pavilion is actually related to this so-called Sword Pond?

  What about that Sixth-Rank Mystic Treasure?

  Could it be that this treasured sword, this Sixth-Rank Mystic Treasure, is actually a lost artifact of the ancient barbarian tribes?

  It's always a bit strange when Xia Lin uses his sword techniques. Can you imagine a big and sturdy man like him releasing sword techniques? Especially for the ancient barbarians, who specialized in physical training, it's hard to find any sword techniques or martial arts that involve using a treasured sword.

  Regardless of whether it's a lost item, Jianjia Sword Pool is opened, and it must be related to the changes in the Hall of Legacy. This is certain. Adding to the current Jiang family crisis, Xia Lin pondered silently, perhaps this will be an opportunity!

  Recalling the time when he made Jinxuan, a hint of strangeness arose. Xia Lin faintly felt that Xian Ri Ge seemed to have some connection with Jinxuan, perhaps it was because when he made Jinxuan, he weakened the defense of Xian Ri Ge, which ultimately led to his resonance with Jianye City's Sword Pond from afar.

  The opening of the Hundred Refining Pavilion allowed him to cultivate martial skills at an unprecedented speed, successfully standing ahead of everyone. And what will the opening of the second pavilion, the Dayfall Pavilion, bring to him?

  If everything goes smoothly, when facing Jiang's family in Jingzhou, he will no longer be at others' mercy.

  "What's on your mind?" Dongfang Xuan looked at him with some curiosity.

  "It's nothing." Xia Lin shook his head, "That thing called the Swordsmanship Conference, when is it being held?"

  "The Jianchi has been opened, probably still half a month."

  "How long will it last?"

  "A month."

  "Who can participate?"

  "All sword cultivators can participate."

  "After it's over, can we go to Jianchi?"

  "En, it will be cashed on the second day."

  "It's only a month and a half... " Xia Lin murmured, "Now it's still about two months before the Jiang family in Jingzhou discovers anything, everything is just in time."

  Dongfang Xuan heard some noise coming and looked at him incredulously: "You can't be thinking of attending that bird conference too, right?"

  Xia Lin looked at his reaction and said in a bad tone: "Why not? The Famous Sword Conference, isn't it open to all sword cultivators?"

  "It's easy to say, but... you're a cultivator, after all!" Dongfang Xuan said speechlessly. "The swordsmanship you know seems to be just that one move, Sword Pointing at the Mountain Range. Do you really think you can make it to the end with just that one move?"

  "Hmm, this seems to be a problem." Xia Lin thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up, "Why not learn now? Just casually come up with some sword moves and martial arts techniques."

  "Heaven." Dongfang Xuan said silently, "I know you're a genius, but even if you're a genius, others have spent years studying swordsmanship, can you really master it overnight?"

  "Why must it be mastery? Isn't learning enough?" Xia Lin was taken aback.

  Dongfang Xuan was even more shocked: "You're not even proficient, how can you compare with others?"

  "I'm now at least on the level of Qingyun's second transformation. With my current strength, just a shockwave can send flying any warrior who has achieved the first transformation...” Xia Lin pondered, “Just casually create some sword techniques and pretend to use them. Hmm... after all, they don't know whether I'm using sword techniques or brute force."

  Dongfang Xuan was stunned, if that's the case, it seems to be true... For ordinary warriors, it might be a bit difficult, but for Xia Lin, this cultivator, that sword might weigh down with several tons of power, and ordinary people may not be able to withstand it.

  "After all, I overestimated your bottom line..." Dongfang Xuan let out a faint sigh, "Go ahead, if you can get that four-star Xuanbao, with your current strength, you should be able to easily kill Jianghe. Even the people from Jiang's family in Jingzhou wouldn't dare to come recklessly."

  It's clear that Dongfang Xuan also thought Xia Lin was after the fourth-grade Xuanbao, after all, Jianghe relied on a fourth-grade Xuanbao to be able to kill in all directions.

  Summer arrives with a smile, no explanation.

  The power of the Four Treasures of the Mystic is not that great, it's understandable to have transcendent battles, many powerful martial arts have this function, Moon Lotus' Dark Slaying Art can do it, his Barbaric Emperor Descent can also do it, but at the same time as having transcendent battles, it can also endlessly provide mystic energy supply, provide martial art cultivation, and even when unable to resist, a figure will appear to help you resist, what kind of joke is this?!

  "What kind of four-star Xuanbao is this? This is totally a cheat, okay?"

  So Xia Lin's goal was not some mysterious treasure, but rather... Jian Chi.

  Entering the Sword Pool, the truth about the opening of the Meteorite Pavilion was also revealed. At that time, the Meteorite Pavilion was successfully opened, and in the future when facing the Jiang family, it would add another helping hand!

  "Are you going to build Yan City?" Xia Lin asked Dongfang Xuan.

  "No way." Dongfang Xuan hastily waved his hand, "What if you do something bad and get exposed, you'll definitely be hunted down, I don't want to suffer with you."

  Summer arrives: "......"

  Dongfang Xuan saw his expression was off and hastily changed his words: "Wrong, it's that I don't want to burden you."

  Summer arrives: "......"
