Ten Thousand Dragons Technique

Chapter 472: Challenging the Sword Spirit!

What? Lin Xuan is the Young Master of the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion?

Everyone was shocked. Ye Ruxue, however, laughed until tears streamed down her face.

"Your boasting is too outrageous," she scoffed. "If you’re the Young Master of the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion, then I’m the Sect Leader of the True Dragon Sect."

"Alright," an elder of the Ye Family interjected, stopping the two from arguing further.

Another elder said, "Young Master Lin, regardless, thank you for obtaining the Divine Soul Recovery Pill. With this elixir, Madam Ye can be saved. You’ve helped our Ye Family once again. We have no way to repay you."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan smiled. "If you want to thank someone, thank Qing Wu. After all, as her fiancé, it’s only right that I help the Ye Family."

Lin Xuan handed the elixir to Ye Qingwu and said, "You should return to your family first. I still have some matters to attend to."

Ye Qingwu nodded. "Then be careful. I’ll wait for you at the family estate."

After she spoke, Ye Qingwu left with the members of the Ye Family.

Once Ye Qingwu and her group had departed, Lin Xuan dove straight into Dragon Spirit Lake. He quickly reached the bottom, where the light was exceptionally dim. Lin Xuan looked around and spotted a place that was glowing with a brilliant light.

That must be the light of a sword. Lin Xuan’s heart stirred, and he swam in that direction.

He performed the Wandering Dragon Body Technique. Moving like a true dragon, he rapidly traversed the water and reached the source of the sword light with incredible speed.

"Young Master, you’ve arrived." Fairy Yunxi stood up to greet him.

Lin Xuan nodded, his expression turning solemn as he gazed at the brilliant sword light ahead. "Is this the Divine Sword left behind by a Dragon Warrior?"

"Exactly," Fairy Yunxi explained. "This sword is called the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword. It is a Divine Sword left by a Dragon Warrior. The Dragon-Seeking Pavilion sent me here to guard it. Firstly, to prevent it from being taken by others, and secondly, to see if there is any chance to control it."

So that was the situation. Lin Xuan understood. He then asked, "Is there a chance?"

Fairy Yunxi gave a bitter smile. "I’m afraid I have no chance. Not just me; even the Pavilion Master himself has no chance. According to my investigation, only a true Dragon Warrior has an opportunity to acquire this sword. To control it, one must gain the recognition of the Sword Spirit."

"The Sword Spirit?" Lin Xuan was surprised.

"Yes," Fairy Yunxi said. "The Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword has a Sword Spirit, which is a Spirit Dragon. I’ve tried to communicate with her, but she completely ignores me."

At this, Yunxi gave another bitter smile. There are no Dragon Warriors left in this world. It’s likely no one will ever be able to claim this sword.

Hearing this, however, stirred something in Lin Xuan. But I *am* a true Dragon Warrior. Maybe I have a chance.

He said, "Let me try."

"Alright." Fairy Yunxi did not stop him, only reminding him, "Then be careful, Young Master."

He’s probably just curious and wants to sense the Divine Sword’s power, she thought. However, it’s impossible for him to obtain this sword. No matter how extraordinary his identity is as the Young Master of the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion, he isn’t a Dragon Warrior.

Lin Xuan took a deep breath and reached for the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword.

The sword radiated light as a terrifying surge of Sword Qi rushed forward, blocking his palm.

Lin Xuan snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with a sharp glint. A heaven-shaking dragon’s roar erupted from within his body.

CRACKLE! CRACKLE! CRACKLE!

His palm was instantly covered in Dragon Scales. He tore through the sword light and aggressively grasped for the Divine Sword. In the next moment, Lin Xuan’s hand closed around the hilt.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The Divine Sword began to shake violently, and its overwhelming sword light swept across the four directions. Countless streams of Sword Qi transformed into a massive Dragon Shadow, which roared across the eight desolates. The entire lake began to boil.

Seeing this, Fairy Yunxi’s expression changed dramatically.

She exclaimed, "Young Master, be careful! Young Master, run!"

But it was too late. Lin Xuan’s figure was already engulfed by the enormous Spirit Dragon, and the area before her transformed into a Sword Dao Domain.

Fairy Yunxi tried to intervene and rescue Lin Xuan, but as soon as she got close, the Sword Dao Domain repelled her. She couldn’t enter at all.

How could this be? It’s over. The Young Master is in danger. With his strength, he surely can’t withstand this much Sword Qi. Is he going to perish? How did it come to this? If I had known, I shouldn’t have brought him here. Fairy Yunxi was filled with immense regret.

Inside the Sword Dao Domain, Lin Xuan’s body was covered with Dragon Scales. The streams of Sword Qi hammered against him, creating a thunderous din.

The Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword had already broken free of his grasp. It floated in the void, releasing countless rays of sword energy from its blade that swirled through the space. It did not attack Lin Xuan. It just floated there quietly.

Suddenly, a surprised voice rang out from within the longsword. "Oh? Your Dragon Dao aura is so strong! Could you be a Dragon Warrior? Impossible, it’s been a long time since a Dragon Warrior has appeared. Let me see who you are!"

As the voice spoke, an illusory dragon shadow flew out from the sword. This was a Spiritual Dragon Shadow, and it charged toward Lin Xuan. Its dragon claw swiped out, aiming for Lin Xuan’s head.

Lin Xuan roared at the sky and fiercely swung his Cyan Dragon Sky-Rending Hand. In an instant, their claws collided, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Such power! The Spiritual Dragon Shadow looked surprised.

The next moment, its power surged again, pressing down on Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan’s Cyan Dragon Sky-Rending Hand was actually being suppressed. He was forced back continuously, as if on the verge of being completely overpowered.

Just then, Lin Xuan summoned his Cyan Dragon Soul. "Cyan Dragon upon me!"

At that moment, Lin Xuan seemed to transform into a humanoid cyan dragon, roaring to the heavens. The power of his Cyan Dragon Sky-Rending Hand surged once more!

With a loud boom, the Spiritual Dragon Shadow was thrown back.

"Such terrifying Dragon Soul power! You really are a Dragon Warrior!"

The Spiritual Dragon Shadow was incredibly shocked. It circled in the air, its eyes wide as it stared intently at Lin Xuan.

"That’s right, I am a Dragon Warrior," Lin Xuan said coldly. His voice, infused with the power of the Cyan Dragon Soul, vibrated through the surroundings, causing the entire Sword Dao Domain to tremble violently.

"It really is a Dragon Warrior. It truly is a Dragon Warrior!"

The Spiritual Dragon Shadow in front of him was so excited that its body trembled. The next moment, a brilliant light burst from its body, illuminating everything in all directions. Even Lin Xuan was forced to close his eyes against the glare.

When the light faded, the Spiritual Dragon Shadow was gone. In its place stood a woman. She was a dream-like woman, like a celestial maiden descended from the nine heavens.

Lin Xuan was somewhat stunned. "Who are you?"

"My name is Little Dragon Maiden. I am the Sword Spirit of the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword."

Little Dragon Maiden! Sword Spirit!

Lin Xuan was astonished. "Then what was that Spiritual Dragon Shadow just now? Are you human or a dragon?"

The Little Dragon Maiden replied, "I am a member of the Dragon Race who, for certain reasons, became the Sword Spirit of the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword. What you saw just now was my dragon form, but I can also take on a human form, which is how I appear now. However, whether in dragon or human form, I am just a sword spirit without a physical body."

Lin Xuan finally understood. He then said, "Since I am a Dragon Warrior, can I obtain this Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword?"

This sword was left behind by an ancient Dragon Warrior and was of an extraordinary grade. If Lin Xuan could obtain it, his strength would increase dramatically. Moreover, Lin Xuan had also mastered the Great Derivation Sword Technique. If he could use it in conjunction with this Spirit Dragon Sword, the power would be absolutely formidable. Therefore, Lin Xuan was determined to obtain this divine sword.

The Little Dragon Maiden looked at Lin Xuan and said, "As a Dragon Warrior, you are indeed qualified to obtain the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword, but not now. You are only a nine-star Martial General. Your strength is far too weak. Wait until you become a Great Grandmaster. If you come back then, you will have a chance to master the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword."

A Great Grandmaster?

Lin Xuan frowned. Although he could fight above his level, his current combat power was only equivalent to that of a five-star Grandmaster. He was still a long way from becoming a Great Grandmaster. Lin Xuan did not want to wait that long.

He asked, "Is there no other way?"

"There is another way, but it is even more difficult," the Little Dragon Maiden said. "If you could condense two Dragon Souls, you could control the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword right now. However, that’s impossible. Even in the past, during the prosperous era of Dragon Warriors, very few could condense two Dragon Souls. Now that the path of the Dragon Warrior is all but severed, it is even more impossible for someone to do so. So, you should go back. Cultivate diligently, and when you become a Great Grandmaster, it won’t be too late to return."

After speaking, the Little Dragon Maiden turned, preparing to return into the Divine Sword.

Hearing this, however, Lin Xuan smiled.

"Two Dragon Souls, you say? I have them right now!"
