Chapter 267: Myriad Swords Converge, Not Even Dogs Would Learn It
Within the secret realm, Chu Huaixu listened to the system notification and quickly opened the interface to check.
In the end, just like last time, there was no mention of dungeon-clear rewards.
“Then I guess the gains will come during the process,” he speculated.
However, what he did not expect was that this inheritance secret realm was actually named—【Myriad Swords Converge】!
For this legendary number one technique under heaven, everyone had long heard of it as if thunder echoed in their ears.
Its sword formula content was shared with the entire world. Anyone could comprehend it. Not to mention cultivation sects—even in mortal bookstalls, it could be bought.
Those wandering martial swordsmen almost all had a copy.
Of course, no one could actually learn it—but if you didn’t get a copy, it somehow felt like something was missing!
“In my memory, Big Ice Block never used 【Myriad Swords Converge】 in 《Borrowed Sword》, not even in extremely dangerous life-and-death situations.”
“I’ve also never heard that she mastered this top-tier technique.”
“As far as is known, the only one who comprehended 【Myriad Swords Converge】 is the Sword Sovereign of the Sword Sect.”
“When he sparred with Situ Cheng, he used it once—and only that one time.”
“So what exactly is the meaning of this dungeon?”
He looked at Han Shuangjiang and thought of a possibility.
Perhaps she had actually obtained the secrets of 【Myriad Swords Converge】 within the dungeon.
But due to insufficient strength or sword comprehension, she had failed to learn it.
That would be normal.
After all, when Chu Huaixu transmigrated, the main storyline of 《Borrowed Sword》 was probably only at the mid-stage.
According to normal plot logic, for the two World Protagonists of the Eastern Continent, Xu Ziqing’s greatest cheat should be unlocking the nine restrictions and unleashing the full power of the Bronze Sword at the end.
As for Han Shuangjiang, it was previously only known that she cultivated quickly and had obtained two inheritances from the Dao Ancestor. Now it seemed that her ultimate move at the very end of the main storyline was likely 【Myriad Swords Converge】!
At this thought, Chu Huaixu felt a bit heated inside.
He didn’t know whether he could get a share of it.
But he was very curious—and deeply eager to know what the secret of 【Myriad Swords Converge】 actually was!
“This skill is just too bizarre. You have to spend 1 million Experience Points to gamble on it, and most likely you won’t succeed. The probability of mastering it is definitely extremely low!”
He understood the nature of 《Borrowed Sword》 all too well.
“After all, so many players tried to learn it, and none succeeded.”
“And normally, a Heaven-rank technique like this would have learning requirements—you must reach 【Comprehension 7】.”
“But 【Myriad Swords Converge】 doesn’t have that.”
“It only has one condition—spend 1 million to gamble.”
Looking at it this way, it actually seemed quite good—low threshold.
After all, even his own main account on Spring and Autumn Mountain only had 【Comprehension 6】.
In the version before he transmigrated, players who reached 【Comprehension 7】 were in single digits.
“But in my opinion, the more it’s like this, the more likely it’s a massive trap! Definitely a scam by the game!”
At that time, player levels were capped at 49—they couldn’t reach level 50 and become major cultivators.
Heh, everyone’s Experience Points were just sitting there with nowhere to spend, right?
Then come learn 【Myriad Swords Converge】!
Guaranteed—once you try, you’ll go silent.
“I even saw on the forum those Experience Point tycoons who dumped 9 million Experience Points all at once.”
“In the end, they went crazy posting on the forum, hyping it up, urging everyone to learn it, and even started making up probabilities.”
But Chu Huaixu’s mindset now was different from when he was just playing a game.
How to put it— even if this was a scam, he had gone from a low-level scam to a high-level one.
This scam had been set up too well!
He had learned the Dao Canon, obtained the Dao Ancestor’s Sword Scabbard and life-bound item…
And within his Sea of Consciousness, there was also a Heart Sword of extremely high rank.
All of this gave him a strange feeling, as if in the unseen—
【Myriad Swords Converge】 was hinting at him: you’re the one!
This made Chu Huaixu’s mindset shift from “not even dogs would learn it” to “I’m learning 【Myriad Swords Converge】!”
But he still remained rational.
He had his own plan and rhythm.
According to his earlier plan, he intended to first raise 【Comprehension】 to 7.
This was the threshold for Heaven-rank techniques, and he felt it was necessary to reach it first.
“Normally, the higher the comprehension, the less Experience Points required to learn and upgrade skills.”
“Although 【Myriad Swords Converge】 is different and still requires 1 million to gamble, I don’t care—this toxic thing, I won’t even touch it before 【Comprehension 7】.”
After reaching 【Comprehension 7】, his original plan was to set aside 1 million Experience Points to try his luck every time he accumulated 10 million.
One must learn to allocate assets reasonably!
How could he throw everything into a gamble!
Even in real gambling—like sitting at a Texas Hold’em table—you still had to manage your pot.
He would never believe in “all-in is wisdom.”
But what Chu Huaixu didn’t expect was that he would enter a dungeon literally called 【Myriad Swords Converge】.
Trying to lure him again, huh?
“Damn seductive skill—one day I’ll learn you to death!”
At the entrance of the secret realm, Chu Huaixu began making things up to Han Shuangjiang, casually finding a reason.
“Look, there’s a huge ‘Sword’ character carved on the stone wall. I suspect this place is related to 【Myriad Swords Converge】.”
The cold-faced girl had already grown somewhat accustomed—this Dead Fox always had wild ideas.
Yet strangely, they always turned out to be correct.
After thinking carefully, she found that this possibility indeed couldn’t be ruled out.
As everyone knew, the Dao Ancestor had always held no sword, yet claimed himself to be a sword cultivator.
He had always liked borrowing swords.
But after borrowing them, he almost never used sword techniques—only the most basic movements, as if he didn’t know any sword techniques at all.
No one in the world had seen his sword intent, let alone sword heart or sword domain.
In short, none of these things were recorded.
The only thing related to swordsmanship was 【Myriad Swords Converge】!
In fact, since the Dao Ancestor didn’t even have a sword and never used sword techniques, yet all sword cultivators in the world were still no match for him, his opponents came up with a clever idea—
—expel him from the sword lineage!
You call yourself a sword cultivator? You’re not one at all!
It wasn’t until the Dao Ancestor created 【Myriad Swords Converge】 that the situation changed.
Chu Huaixu even suspected that the Dao Ancestor made 【Myriad Swords Converge】 public to everyone with a slightly mischievous intent.
You say I’m not a sword cultivator?
Fine then!
I’ll create the strongest sword technique in the world—and make it look like anyone can learn it. Let’s see if you can!
And the facts proved that all sword cultivators in the world were indeed “humiliated” by him.
Couldn’t learn it. Truly couldn’t!
At this moment, the two looked up at the 【Sword】 character on the stone wall—but nothing happened.
It wasn’t like last time when they entered the secret realm, where just one glance at the 【Dao】 character brought them into a mysterious state, exerted pressure on their Sea of Consciousness, and enhanced their Divine Sense.
“This time there’s no welcome gift?” Chu Huaixu was puzzled.
Last time, he had truly experienced the Dao Ancestor’s generosity!
After all, he had a Heart Sword in his Sea of Consciousness, so he didn’t feel any pressure at all—just directly received a Divine Sense enhancement gift pack.
Thinking of this, a trace of doubt arose in his heart.
“Before, I only felt something was off. Clearly the Dao Ancestor Inheritance Secret Realm is a solo dungeon, yet each stage’s rewards have surplus, and after I entered, I gained improvements in all aspects.”
But now that he had obtained the Dao Seal 【Huaixu】 and seen that verse…
He couldn’t help but start overthinking.
Were the dungeon rewards truly surplus?
Or was it…
Chu Huaixu didn’t think too deeply about it for the moment.
He simply couldn’t help but glance down at his left palm.
There, the two characters 【Huaixu】 were engraved, though they wouldn’t appear unless activated.
After the stone door on the wall was pushed open, inside was a narrow passage, still only wide enough for a single person.
“I’ll go first,” Chu Huaixu said.
“Alright.”
Previously, he had stayed behind Big Ice Block purely to let her act as a “treasure-hunting mouse.”
Now that they had entered the dungeon, he naturally walked ahead of her.
He had already decided:
“Even in a dungeon called 【Myriad Swords Converge】, I won’t mess around.”
“【Comprehension 7】 is the absolute prerequisite.”
He had installed a personal “Anti-Fraud App.”
—As long as I’m firm enough, no one can scam my “money”!
Chu Huaixu walked forward like this and soon saw a stone chamber ahead.
Inside, there was only a meditation cushion.
Aside from that, a green cluster of energy floated in the air.
It drifted within the room, emitting a mysterious power. Even from afar, both Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang felt a refreshing sensation—just breathing made them feel clear-headed and invigorated!
“Feels like something good.”
Chu Huaixu didn’t rush forward. Instead, he cautiously cast 【Information Probe】 on the green energy cluster.
His 【Information Probe】 authority had been enhanced several times.
Yet the feedback he received was still three question marks.
“What is that?” Han Shuangjiang couldn’t help but ask.
“No idea. Let’s go in and take a look,” Chu Huaixu replied.
It felt like something extraordinary.
Speaking of which, the Dao Ancestor’s inheritance had been set up a thousand years ago.
“Doesn’t that mean this thing has been floating here for a full thousand years?”
The two entered the stone chamber together, unsure of what to do.
There was only one meditation cushion and the green energy cluster—nothing else. It seemed to suggest sitting down.
“How about this—we each take half and squeeze in,” Chu Huaixu suggested, glancing at his Dao companion’s plump hips.
—That was definitely going to be tight.
Who knew if this solo dungeon could be cleared by two people together?
Might as well try.
“Alright.”
The two sat down together on the meditation cushion, each occupying only half a buttock, with the other half resting on the ground.
They sat close together, able to feel each other’s body warmth.
Han Shuangjiang had naturally wide hips, and Chu Huaixu even felt her hip bone pressing against him.
Big hips—no room.
In the next moment, the green energy cluster split into two and flowed into their bodies.
That refreshing sensation made Chu Huaixu feel almost as if he were ascending.
His mind became incredibly clear—his thoughts sharper than ever before!
Then suddenly, he froze.
Because he heard a system notification.
“【Ding! Congratulations, Comprehension +1.】”
