Chapter 1153 Sword Body(2)
Chapter 1153 Sword Body(2)
‘What’s happening? It suddenly feels like I know how to unite Sword Aura with my body.’ Yuan was surprised when his Sword Aura began entering his body. It also felt like he was being guided by someone, but he still wasn’t aware of the masked man helping him. However, he didn’t think too much about it and continued to follow the guidance, slowly combining his Sword Aura with his body.
Time passed quickly, and within the blink of an eye, half a month has passed since Yuan entered the Sword Temple.
‘He’s still inside, huh. It’s been too long. Did something happen to him inside?’ Long Chen pondered. He came out of the Sword Temple three days after Yuan entered the place and has been waiting for him to come out since then.
‘As far as I am aware, the Sword Temple isn’t a dangerous place and nobody has died inside before, so what is he doing inside?’
He wasn’t too worried about it, especially when he recalled how long Yuan took in the Sword Pagoda.
Eventually, another half of a month passed with Yuan nowhere to be seen.
It has been an entire month now since he entered the Sword Temple. During this time, rumors about Yuan dying inside the Sword Temple have spread throughout the Endless Emperor’s Tomb.
This greatly shocked everyone, mostly because they all believed that the Sword Temple was a safe zone where one couldn’t die.
Many were also filled with pity knowing that a peerless genius had passed away in such an unfortunate manner.
“I don’t believe it. There’s no way Xiao Yang died inside! He is still alive! He must be!” Tian Yanyu refused to believe the rumors.
“No matter what you believe, it won’t change the fact that he’s been inside for a month now. We have less than 4 months left before the tomb closes. If we stop wasting our time and leave now, we can still regroup with the others.”
“I refuse! I will not move from this spot until Xiao Yang comes back out!” Tian Yanyu exclaimed with a stubborn face.
Her mother could only silently shake her head.
Meanwhile, inside the Sword Temple, Yuan was still being guided by the masked man. After a month of constant assistance, his Sword Aura is almost fully unified with his body. Even someone as tremendously talented as Yuan required the help of his incarnation and a month to reach this point, proving how ridiculously difficult it was to acquire a Sword Body.
However, in the eyes of Jin Xi, his progress was still unbelievably fast.
‘Even with Master’s help, he’s managed to reach this point in such a short amount of time. This kind of talent is unheard of…’
Several more hours later, the masked man finally lowered his arms and stood up.
‘Is it done? Did he achieve a Sword Body?’ Jin Xi used her Divine Gaze to look at Yuan’s physique.
“This bastard… He really did it… He really achieved a Sword Body at that age…” Jin Xi muttered in a shaky voice, her body trembling as well.
At this moment, Yuan’s Sword Aura could not be sensed, almost as though it did not exist. However, if one were to look inside his body, they would see that all of his internal organs and muscles are being protected by Sword Aura.
<Congratulations, you have achieved a Sword Body>
<You have gained the title ‘One With Swords’>
<Description: With a Sword Body, your body can no longer be harmed by Sword Aura and other Auras. Your proficiency with swords have been increased by 10,000%. Your physical defense has increased tremendously and will continue to grow as you strengthen your Sword Aura.>
Yuan was pleasantly surprised by the bonuses he gained from having a Sword Body. Being immune to Sword Aura and other weapon Auras could even be considered overpowered.
“You better thank the Master for his assistance. If it weren’t for him guiding you, you would’ve never achieved a Sword Body.” Jin Xi suddenly said.
“So that feeling was because of you, huh. Thanks.”
The masked man then said, “Take out your sword.”
Yuan nodded and retrieved his Empyrean Overlord. When he held onto the sword, it felt like the sword had melded into his hand, almost as if it had become his arm.
“Now attack me with everything you’ve got,” he continued.
“Sure thing.” Yuan said without any hesitation since he wasn’t worried about killing the masked man.
After taking a deep breath, Yuan swung the sword at the masked man without using any sword techniques. However, the force coming from the strike was immense and wouldn’t lose to when he used an Ancient-rank sword technique before acquiring a Sword Body.
This greatly surprised Yuan, who did not expect such prowess coming from a normal sword slash.
Despite that, the masked man managed to catch his sword, and he’d done it with two fingers.
Yuan wasn’t too surprised by this and asked, “Satisfied?”
“For now. At your current level, you will be able to handle the inner areas without too many problems.”
“Speaking of the inner area, that is where I plan on going next.”
The masked man nodded and turned to look at Jin Xi, who quickly straightened her body.
“Take her with you. She’ll be your guide, but don’t expect her to protect you from the dangers within.”
“I know.” Yuan smiled.
“And thank you, Jin Xi.”
“It’s a pleasure that I could be of use to you again, Master!” She smiled brightly.
However, Yuan could feel a sense of sorrow coming from the masked man, which made him curious about their relationship even more.
“Hey, what’s your relationship with her?” He had to ask..com
“If you really want to know, you can ask her.”
“I already did, but she refused.”
The masked man merely shrugged in silence.
“Anyways, it’s about time for you to leave. You have been here for a month already, after all.”
“What?! A month?!” Yuan exclaimed in a shocked voice. He must’ve experienced another enlightenment since it doesn’t feel that long for him.
“Then I will teleport you two out now.” The masked man waved his sleeve, sending them away.
