Chapter 693: The Xuanyuan Sword

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

He was now well-prepared, with hidden purple energy around him. If any issues arose, this purple energy would defend him.

This would buy him time to escape.

“Senior.”

Feng Wei walked over to him.

Jiang Hao thought for a moment. “Stay here. Don’t move around.”

Perhaps he might still need Feng Wei’s help.

Although Feng Wei didn’t quite understand, he nodded.

Jiang Hao approached the hard ore and swung his pickaxe.

In just a few days, Gui would arrive.

He needed to quickly dig out something rare from this place.

With enough harvest, he could advance faster.

He thought that it was even possible for him to reach the late stage of the Return to Void Realm in this

Clang!

Clang!

Jiang Hao continued to dig, but he only found white bubbles.

There were very few blue bubbles at that.

After a while, he couldn’t dig with the pickaxe.

He had to take out the Primordial Heavenly Sword as a substitute.

Clang!

The Heavenly Sword was indeed exceptional. It instantly cut through the ore.

However, what surprised Jiang Hao was that the sword’s strike had created a hole as if it had cut through the wall entirely. “Did we dig through?” Feng Wei asked.

Jiang Hao frowned.

If they had indeed dug through, it would be a massive loss on his part.

There was no choice but to go inside and take a look.

There didn’t seem to be any dangers here for the time being.

A human-sized entrance was quickly carved out by the Heavenly Sword.

Everything appeared pitch black, even when Jiang Hao tossed a fireball inside.

This wasn’t an ordinary place.

“Senior, would you like me to explore ahead?” Feng Wei asked.

Jiang Hao gave him a brief glance and shook his head. “No need.”

There was no need to let Feng Wei take the lead and get himself into danger.

He had to do it himself.

After entering, he sensed three different auras: one was of despair, another one was majestic, and the last one was filled with a dragon’s might.

Soon, the dark space began to light up.

The surroundings gradually became visible as flames rose from below and illuminated everything.

This was a large underground cave.

Lava covered the floor. There was a circular platform in the center, which was surrounded by three small, circular platforms.

There were numerous formation runes on them.

Aside from these, the most eye-catching thing was at the center of the middle platform.

There was a sword buried in the ground. Its blade was shrouded in dark mist. Within this mist, a dragon’s shadow was seen battling with it.

Jiang Hao wasted no time and activated the Daily Appraisal.

[Xuanyuan Sword: The Human Emperor’s sword is tainted by the Immortal Clan. It suppressed the Immortal Seed. The sword’s body is indestructible, and it is protected by a True Dragon’s soul. By carving the core pattern of the Burning Immortal Formation, it can be used to resonate with the power of the

Xuanyuan Sword to destroy the Immortal Seed. This way, the Human Emperor’s sword can reappear in the mortal realm. Those with great luck or a purple aura can suppress the sword’s taint.]

‘The Human Emperor’s sword… the Xuanyuan Sword!’

Jiang Hao looked at the sword shrouded in black mist in shock.

He had been avoiding it for a long time, but in the end, he had arrived here. ‘Now that I’m here, I should do something.’

He looked around to see where he could carve the Burning Immortal Formation.

Quickly, he noticed some gaps in the circular formations. They required certain runes, but also some other materials.

‘What materials are needed to activate the Burning Immortal Formation?’ Jiang Hao took out a spirit stone.

When he put it in the formation, there was no response.

‘Do I need to wait and appraise it tomorrow?’

He then remembered the ore he had dug up and placed it in the formation.

Instantly, the ore was absorbed.

‘It seems I need these ores…’

Without hesitation, he placed all the ores into the formation and realized that he was still short of a few of them.

‘There aren’t many ores left outside. Does that mean I need all the ores to activate the Burning Immortal Formation?’

Jiang Hao wasn’t entirely sure, but it seemed that was likely.

He had wanted to sell the ores for more spirit stones, but that seemed impossible now. However, it wasn’t a total loss. Mining here had given him many blue bubbles.

Now, he had the core for the formation but lacked the core runes.

Jiang Hao called Feng Wei into the cave.

Feng Wei had waited outside because he was afraid that there might be some rare treasure inside, and it would corrupt the senior with him. He thought that this strange senior might kill him to keep him quiet.

Now that the senior had asked for his help first, he didn’t need to worry.

“Senior, what is it in here?” Feng Wei asked cautiously as he poked his head inside.

“Come over here,” Jiang Hao said softly.

When Feng Wei approached, Jiang Hao pointed at the formation runes on the ground. “Do you understand this formation?”

Feng Wei carefully observed it for a moment. “I can understand it to some extent. This formation seems incomplete.”

“If I provide you with the core runes, can you complete it?” Jiang Hao asked.

Since he wasn’t an expert in this field, he didn’t want to do it himself. If he did something wrong, it would be quite troublesome.

It was better to let someone skilled handle it.

“I need to study it first. This formation is quite profound, and I can’t guarantee anything,” said Feng Wei humbly.

Jiang Hao nodded and handed a book to Feng Wei.

The book contained the core formation patterns he had obtained from Xing.

When Feng Wei took the book and looked at it, his eyes lit up.

He couldn’t fully understand the principles of this level of formation, but he could still sketch it step by step.

Furthermore, he might learn something from it.

“Thank you so much, Senior,” Feng Wei said in excitement.

Jiang Hao nodded.

After exchanging a few words, he left.

He needed to continue mining to activate the formation here completely.

If he didn’t mine, someone else would.

As for Feng Wei, he had made it very clear that he should not enter the central platform.

It wasn’t a place that Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators could safely enter. The black mist alone could be fatal.

After that, Jiang Hao went outside to continue mining.

He obtained more bubbles.

His cultivation points were gradually accumulating.

[Cultivation +1]

[Spirit +1]

Outside, Xuanyuan Tai and Xuanyuan He were looking for an entrance.

“Junior Sister Bi Zhu seems very well-informed,” Xuanyuan He said.

“That’s to be expected. She was extraordinary from the very beginning. When the Elder brought her here, he explicitly said she was talented. It did surprise me. Her information is more accurate than mine, and she even obtained the most crucial core formation patterns.” Xuanyuan Tai sighed.

“Speaking of which, Junior Sister Bi Zhu went out again. She even asked for our permission to explore the Sun Moon Peak. I wonder what she’s up to.” Xuanyuan He hesitated. “Could it be that she also wants to obtain the

Xuanyuan Sword?”

At that, Xuanyuan Tai laughed. “The Xuanyuan Sword is not something that anyone can grab. If she manages to grab it, then I should just give it to her.”

“Senior Brother, you are very magnanimous.” Xuanyuan He shook her head.

“It’s not about being magnanimous. That sword doesn’t belong to me. It’s the Human Emperor’s sword, ” Xuanyuan Tai said. “But the Human Emperor’s surname was Xuanyuan.” “That’s why we can’t bring shame to our name..”
