Ten Thousand Dragons Technique

Chapter 473: Sword Spirit’s Approval! Acquiring the Divine Sword!

"Young people these days are so arrogant, completely unaware of the immensity of heaven and earth," the Dragon Maiden said without turning her head. "Such empty boasts."

"You are already incredibly fortunate to have become a Dragon Warrior. Condensing two Dragon Souls is as difficult as ascending to the heavens."

It was clear that the Dragon Maiden did not believe a word Lin Xuan said.

However, Lin Xuan took a step forward and once again activated his Candle Dragon Soul. Another dragon’s roar echoed, but this time, it was different from the Cyan Dragon Soul. This was the power of the Candle Dragon.

Upon feeling this power, the Dragon Maiden, who was walking ahead, stopped dead in her tracks. She whirled around, her face a mask of utter shock.

"This is the aura of a second Dragon Soul! How is this possible? How could you possibly possess a second Dragon Soul?"

She was going insane. At that moment, the Dragon Maiden’s mind was reeling.

Lin Xuan stood his ground, wreathed by two Dragon Souls as the powers of the Cyan Dragon and the Candle Dragon swept outward. The Dragon Maiden’s body began to tremble. In the face of such power, she felt an overwhelming urge to kneel in reverence.

She stared intently at the two Dragon Souls. The Cyan Dragon Soul! And the Candle Dragon Soul!

"You actually have two Dragon Souls! How did you do it?" The Dragon Maiden was on the verge of frenzy. "Who in the world are you?"

In an age where the path of the Dragon Warrior is all but lost, for someone to still be able to condense two Dragon Souls... This is simply heaven-defying!

Lin Xuan declared proudly, "If Heaven had not brought forth me, Lin Xuan, the eternal Dragon Dao would be naught but an endless night!"

The Dragon Maiden was profoundly shaken. It was a long time before she came to her senses. "You have two Dragon Souls," she said excitedly. "You can command the Ling Long Jiuxiao Sword! From this moment on, you are its new master."

With that, the Dragon Maiden performed a respectful bow, acknowledging her new master. Her form flickered, and she transformed back into a Spirit Dragon, surging into the Divine Sword.

The next moment, the Ling Long Jiuxiao Sword erupted in an incomparably brilliant radiance. It flew before Lin Xuan like a peerless beam of celestial light, and he reached out to grasp its hilt.

With a gentle swing, it felt as if the entire world could be split asunder by the single stroke. What terrifying power!

The Dragon Maiden’s voice echoed from the sword. "Master, you are currently only a nine-star Martial General, so you can only unleash a fraction of the Ling Long Jiuxiao Sword’s power. As your cultivation grows stronger, the might you can draw from the Divine Sword will increase as well."

So that’s how it is. Lin Xuan laughed heartily upon hearing this. He had finally obtained the Divine Sword. This is wonderful! He was overjoyed.

Then he said, "From now on, you don’t need to call me ’Master.’ Just call me ’Young Master’."

"As you wish, Young Master."

"Dragon Maiden, tell me about the previous owner of the Ling Long Jiuxiao Sword."

Her figure flickered, and the Dragon Maiden materialized from the Divine Sword once more. She appeared before Lin Xuan and began to recount its history. "This sword has an extraordinary origin and has existed for several thousand years," she said. "As for who forged it, I do not know."

"Over these millennia, many Dragon Warriors have wielded this sword, becoming the Sword Master of the Ling Long Jiuxiao Sword. The last Sword Master was named Xiao Wentian."

"He was a disciple of the True Dragon Sect and an exceptionally talented genius of the Sword Dao. At a young age, he already possessed world-altering abilities and even created many new styles of swordsmanship."

"Later, he left Dragon Island and journeyed to the Central Continent. There, he developed some enmity with an ancient Noble Family Sacred Land. He was ultimately killed by his enemies. In the end, he returned to Dragon Island and passed away in meditation at Dragon Spirit Lake, leaving the Ling Long Jiuxiao Sword behind."

Xiao Wentian! A disciple of the True Dragon Sect! Lin Xuan was surprised. The name True Dragon Sect was not unfamiliar to him; it was the supreme hegemon of Dragon Island. To think it was once so glorious.

He asked, "Who killed Xiao Wentian?"

"Young Master, it would be useless for you to know right now. Your enemies are far too powerful," she replied. "With your current strength, you are no match for them. When you become stronger, I will naturally tell you. I truly hope you can grow powerful enough to accomplish what Xiao Wentian could not."

Lin Xuan nodded and didn’t press the issue. He said, "Rest assured. One day, I will avenge Xiao Wentian."

After that, Lin Xuan prepared to leave. The Dragon Maiden returned to the Divine Sword, and Lin Xuan stored the Ling Long Jiuxiao Sword away. With the Divine Sword’s disappearance, the entire Sword Dao Domain rapidly crumbled, eventually vanishing into thin air.

「Outside the domain.」

Yunxi stood there, her face a mask of despair as tears streamed down her cheeks. She felt that she was responsible for Lin Xuan’s death. If she hadn’t let him come here, he surely wouldn’t have perished. How was she going to explain this to the Pavilion Master when she returned?

As she was crying, the Sword Dao Domain in front of her suddenly collapsed. Yunxi rushed forward immediately. Even if Lin Xuan was dead, she had to bring his body back. But in the next moment, she froze, stunned. She saw a figure walking out from the collapsing domain.

Who is it? She looked closer and saw that it was Lin Xuan.

"Young Master, you’re not dead?"

Yunxi was incredibly shocked and hurried over. She circled Lin Xuan three times before finally breaking into a tearful smile. "Thank goodness, you’re not dead! Thank goodness!" She was so overwrought with emotion that she was crying and laughing at the same time. The last few moments had scared her to death.

"Young Master, you were too reckless! The power of that Divine Sword is extraordinary; you can’t just try to take it by force," she admonished. "Don’t you ever do something so dangerous again."

As Yunxi spoke, her gaze drifted toward the spot where the Divine Sword had been. But when she looked, she froze. The area was completely empty. The Ling Long Jiuxiao Sword was gone!

Where’s the sword? Yunxi rushed over and searched everywhere. She even tore open the earth but still couldn’t find any trace of the Ling Long Jiuxiao Sword.

Where did the Divine Sword go? Did it leave in anger? No, that’s impossible. Although Lin Xuan’s actions were reckless, this is a training ground for Dragon Warriors. The Ling Long Jiuxiao Sword would never leave this place. So where did it go?

"Stop looking," Lin Xuan said with a smile. "I’ve already subdued the sword."

Yunxi was dumbfounded. What? Lin Xuan actually succeeded in acquiring the Ling Long Jiuxiao Sword? Is that even possible? This is too unbelievable. Impossible. Absolutely impossible! Lin Xuan is just a nine-star Martial General. Even if he can fight opponents above his rank, he’s still far weaker than me. I’ve been stationed here for several years and couldn’t even get close to acquiring the Ling Long Jiuxiao Sword. Let alone me, not even the Pavilion Master of the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion—a true Grandmaster—could do it! Only a real Dragon Warrior could possibly succeed.

Could Lin Xuan be a Dragon Warrior? Impossible. The path of the Dragon Warrior was severed long ago. No one in this world can become one anymore.

"Young Master, please don’t joke with me," she said. "Did the sword get angry and leave this place temporarily?"

Yunxi sighed. But there was no need to worry too much. The Divine Sword would return sooner or later; after all, this was its home. She prepared to wait there for its return.

But Lin Xuan said, "There’s no need to wait. I’ve already taken the Divine Sword. You can return to the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion. You’re not that old. It must have been boring to stand guard here all this time. You’re free now."

"Young Master, stop joking with me!" Yunxi shook her head. "I cannot leave this place. I must guard the Divine Sword."

She simply couldn’t believe that Lin Xuan could have possibly obtained it.
