Chapter 1: The Life and Death Formation (Prelude...)

  The formation's movement is fixed, and the previous generation had already cracked its movement. Liu Yun's vague memories told him how to take the first step.

  "Long live the Emperor!"

  Liu Yun aimed at the third circle, with an interval of nearly two meters in between.

  He took a deep breath and jumped forward lightly.

  Bang!

  The whole person finally fell into the circle steadily.

  This formation is not a warm and fuzzy one. If you're not careful and step outside the circle, you'll be killed instantly. Take a wrong step, and it's the same outcome.

  "Scenic Gate!"

  Liu Yun adjusted her mindset and immediately jumped over again.

  Tweet!

  The whole person was suddenly transported away and when he stabilized again, he was already standing inside the horizontal row of palace walls.

  Get into position, be cautious and careful, hold your breath, and move forward!

  Achoo!

  Liu Yun carefully completed these laps and finally made it through without any accidents.

  When I stepped into the last 'open door', the light halo on this land disappeared instantly without a trace.

  At the same time, the 'Stellar Array' on the rock wall also dimmed immediately.

  If there was no memory, this formation would never pass, at least it could intercept countless people with unknown methods.

  The five-pointed star at the center of the array began to shatter and tremble slightly, and then the cracks gradually expanded, as if someone was tearing it open from the middle.

  Everything around began to shake, and rocks fell from above, hitting Liu Yun's body, taking away a lot of health points.

  Liu Yun hastily stuck to the rock wall, carefully avoiding falling rocks while cautiously staring at the gradually opening 'Stellar Light Formation'.

  In his previous life, this place had already been explored by players, and many of the one-time monsters inside had been killed. But in this life, he was the first to enter.

  Who knows what's behind this 'Stellar Array'?

  Gradually, a small crack opened in the middle of the entire huge rock wall, and a green light penetrated from this crack.

  Liu Yun's pupils dilated slightly as she hastily ran over.

  It bored into a crack, but behind this crack was a small secret room.

  But this obviously isn't a secret room for placing the 'Pride' fragments, otherwise the commotion from the 'Stellar Light Formation' earlier would have definitely startled the NPCs of the Tian Shui Sect.

  Liu Yun cautiously walked in, this small room with a length of less than 5 meters on one side was actually dug and built by Lin Jianbiao himself.

  He walked up to the front of the secret room and pressed his ear against the blue wall. Immediately, a faint sound came from the other side of the wall.

  "Do you hear? It seems like there's some kind of noise..."

  "What sound? There is no sound... Are you mistaken? I heard that the 'Fantasy Dragon Beast' on the south side of Mount Zhou has awakened, you probably heard its voice..."

  "Huh? Really? Did I really hear it wrong?"

  "Alright, no more nonsense! The treasure of the mountain town won't be lost. Who dares to have such a big nerve? I'm closing the door now, we should go patrol the west tunnel!"

  The words had barely fallen when a faintly audible footsteps gradually faded away, followed by the dull sound of closing doors that began to reverberate.

  It seems that Lin Jianbiao's place doesn't have a good soundproofing effect.

  Liu Yun stood up straight, carefully examining the green wall in front of him, stretching out his hand to gently tap each brick on top.

  These green bricks are about one meter long and wide, very huge indeed.

  Liu Yun perked up her ears and listened carefully to the sound emitted by each brick.

  He soon stopped in front of a bluish-gray brick with a slightly trembling tone.

  He repeatedly knocked several times and tried knocking other bricks for comparison. After repeated consideration, he confirmed that this one was correct.

  He leaned against the wall again and after confirming that there was no movement on the other side, he took out the Langya sword and lightly stabbed it into the green brick.

  Crunch.

  The green brick emitted a crisp sound and shattered directly.

  In the morning, I took a closer look and found that inside this green brick was actually empty.

  Ding! System: You've discovered a mechanism.

  Ignoring the system's voice, Liu Yun hastily drilled in.

  The wall was over three meters thick, and even if she climbed a certain distance, when she reached the other end, Liu Yun still listened carefully for a while, confirmed that there was no one, then straightened up the sword in her hand, and lightly stabbed forward.

  Hiss!

  This time the sound was even smaller, looking at the green bricks in front of him that had been pierced through, Liu Yun couldn't help but wonder if Lin Jianbiao had used plastic instead.

  She carefully climbed out of the wall after breaking through the green bricks in front of her.

  A faint humming noise slowly fell into his ears.

  Then, a faint light spilled into his pupils, and a gentle breeze blew towards him.

  Ding! System: You have entered the Tianshui Sect's secret room. If you are discovered by a Tianshui Sect NPC, their hatred towards you will rise to 10,000 points. Be careful.

  Liu Yun raised his head and looked up, in front of him not far away, a jade pillar stood towering, emitting a faint chill, with a dragon pattern carved on its surface, the dragon's body winding and coiling around the pillar. On the top of the dragon's head, at the top of the pillar, a palm-sized fragment was floating gently.

  It was enveloped in a brilliant blue light, and its body was deep blue. A strange atmosphere emanated from within it, causing Liu Yun's heart to tremble as he stood several meters away, as if being drawn to it, resonating with it.

  "Is this... a fragment of the Tianjue Xianjian? 'Ao'?"

  Liu Yun was taken aback and slowly walked over, stretching out his hand to gently touch the fragment.

  Fingertips entered the light circle and gently touched the 'Arrogance' fragments.

  "Young one! When the heavens and earth first opened, this world gave birth to eight Heaven-Earth Divine Swords that controlled life and death! They transcended the Three Realms, were not within the Five Elements, disregarded the laws of karma, and feared no living thing."

  However, the fairy and devil burst forth, the order of heaven and earth was disrupted, these eight powerful divine swords were used by greedy people, a great war between fairies and devils broke out, all the divine swords fell, turning into fragments scattered to every corner of the world.

  Young people, maintaining the order of heaven and earth, you should take it as your duty, even if you can't achieve great success, at least you should make a humble effort...

  A loud and clear voice echoed in Liu Yun's ears.

  As soon as the sound fell, a faint cool breath was felt, quietly spreading throughout the body.

  Ding! System: You have obtained the 'Vanishing Sword Spirit' blessing, permanently increasing: Qi value +5000, Life limit +5%, Movement speed +5%, Jump strength +5%.

  Upon hearing this heaven-sent benefit, Liu Yun's heart was filled with unutterable joy. He had no idea that the first player to come into contact with 'Ao' would be able to obtain such a benefit.

  At this time, the halo wrapped in 'pride' gradually dissipated, and that 'pride' also stopped rotating, directly falling into Liu Yun's hand.

  Ding! System: You have discovered the first fragment of the Heaven-Defying Sword 'Arrogance'.

  The sound of the system was so abrupt that Liu Yun was stunned for a while before coming back to her senses.

  Got it!!

  Liu Yun was overjoyed beyond measure, never expecting it to be so easy.

  He hastily checked the properties of the 'Pride' fragment.

  Tianjue Sword (Pride): The first fragment of the Tianjue Sword, a special item.

  Attribute: Ling Hui: Killing monsters or completing quests can increase cultivation value by an additional 10%.

  Enhance: Max HP +10%, negative status duration reduced by 30%.

  Mad Sword: When attacking, there is a 5% chance to ignore all opponent's cultivation value and treasure.

  Poison Strike: 10% chance to increase sharpness by 100% when attacking.

  Sword Shadow: When attacking, there is a 5% chance to create a sword shadow, which will mimic the previous attack within 0.5 seconds, dealing the same damage to the target.

  Active Skill: Proud Sword: After casting, the next sword's destructive power will be forcibly increased to 100 times the current self-destructive power (cannot be used in instances).

  Note: After casting, the self will be in a crippled state for 5 hours, with destructive power reduced to 10%. Skill cooldown: 5 natural days.

  Restricted usage: This item is exclusive to Xianzhen Camp players.

  Note: This item must be inlaid on a weapon to take effect.

  Note: The item will drop upon death and any embedded weapon will shatter into an irreparable state.

  Inconceivable attributes.

  Liu Yun took a deep breath, feeling dizzy for a moment.

  He had never seen this 'arrogant' attribute before, because the owner of the blood dragon did not make it public.

  However, if it were really made public, I'm afraid it would cause a stir.

  A hundred times the destructive power... No wonder the Blood Dragon can cut down that royal elite guard with one sword! Dealing such terrifying damage. If a sword shadow appears during the attack, it's even more terrifying... Unfortunately, the cooldown time is long enough, and only one sword can be made in five days!

  However, even if it's only one sword in five days, it's still not bad. Moreover, the 'Ao' fragment has an additional effect of increasing the acquired cultivation value by 10% (percent sign). This attribute, even a novice online gamer knows what it means.

  Liu Yun took out Langya and pasted 'Ao' on it.

  He didn't know how the thing was installed either. But just as 'Ao' approached Langya, a suction force suddenly stuck the two objects together...

  Ding! System: Would you like to inlay the 'Ao' shard into the weapon 'Langya Sword'?

  "Yes!"

  Willow Cloud Path

  The fragment can be taken off and replaced with a new weapon when the time comes, just disassemble it directly.

  Ding!

  A crisp sound, and then the ordinary-looking Langya sword in his hand suddenly burst into a blue light, which directly engulfed Liu Yun.

  The light was intense, and Liu Yun hastily closed her eyes. It wasn't until about ten or more seconds later that she felt it was okay to open them again.

  When he looked at the Langya sword in his hand again, it had changed its appearance.

  The blade of the Langya sword flows with a deep blue sharp sword light, and a dragon head is coiled around the hilt. The whole body of the sword is slender and elegant, full of charm.

  Langya Sword ('Ao' Fragment): +50 to Qiankun Value/Destruction Value.

  Sharpness: 9 (%)

  Ling Hui: Killing monsters or completing quests can increase cultivation value by an additional 10%.

  Enhance: Max HP +10%, negative status duration reduced by 30%.

  Mad Sword: When attacking, there is a 5% chance to ignore all of the opponent's cultivation and artifact values.

  Poison Strike: 10% chance to increase sharpness by 100% when attacking.

  Sword Shadow: When attacking, there is a 5% chance to create a sword shadow, which will mimic the previous attack within 0.5 seconds, dealing the same damage to the target.

  Proud Sword: Active skill, after casting, the next sword's destructive power will be forcibly increased to 100 times the current self-destructive power (cannot be used in instances).

  Liu Yun skillfully drew a sword flower, feeling pretty good. However, he didn't dare to linger too long: now that he had obtained the "Pride" fragment, leaving this place as soon as possible was the best course of action.

  "What's going on? Why did the aura of 'proud' fragments suddenly disappear?"

  "It's unclear!! Hurry!! Go take a look!!"

  At this time, two urgent voices suddenly came from outside the secret room...

  Today's minimum update is 10,000 words. Please let me burst again.
