The Journey of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 1092 - 596: The True Master of the Divine Sword (2)

Then came a long sound. This sound was very unusual, not like the roar of humans or demons, but everyone present could hear the anger and pain contained within!

Ning Xiaoxian was taken aback, while Jiu Mo beside her lost his voice: "This Star-picking Tower is actually a Magic Artifact!" Having lived many years, she is knowledgeable, and her initial judgment was extremely accurate.

Reminded by her, the crowd immediately understood: "That’s it, the Little Thousand Mirror is a Magic Artifact, why can’t the buildings in the Mirror World be Magic Artifacts! It’s just that this feat by the Heavenly Residence is overly grand." Yet they didn’t understand that this Mirror World is a Treasure left by the Ancient Immortals, and ten or more buildings, including the Star-picking Tower, are actually Magic Artifacts that contain universes, it’s just that cultivators feel nothing when they walk in from the outside. Heavenly Residence occasionally got hold of it, and just put it to good use.

The Star-picking Tower has stood here for countless years and has long sprouted an Artifact Spirit. Heavenly Residence usually controls the entire Star-picking Tower through the Artifact Spirit. If the Nanming Lihuo Sword merely fell by Yu Yingnan’s feet it might still be tolerable, but this Divine Sword arrogantly inserted straight into the ground, as if stabbing directly into the Star-picking Tower, and it was a straight cut to the bone! Ordinary Magic Artifacts can’t leave even the slightest trace on the floors of Star-picking Tower, yet this is the Nanming Lihuo Sword!

Whether human or Magic Artifact, being stabbed like that has to tear one’s heart and lungs with pain, right? The Artifact Spirit of the Star-picking Tower then revived and went berserk.

The entire Star-picking Tower tilted directly to the right by thirty-five degrees, the seventh floor was suddenly like a small boat in a raging storm, rocking so turbulently that it was hard to stand. Yu Yingnan and two women beside her were unsteady, staggered, grabbed by the collar by an elder behind them, thus prevented from falling. The one who grabbed Yu Yingnan spoke: "Yingnan, do not act." This should be Yu Yingnan’s master, as the voice proves to be female.

Of course such quakes couldn’t hinder the already very experienced Ning Xiaoxian and others. She was wearing a mask, already close to Yu Yingnan nearby, her eyes blazing as she stared at this little girl.

In such chaos, indeed some couldn’t help but make a move.

Many had agile thoughts, quickly clear-minded in an instant: Heavenly Residence gave everyone the mask which normally protects personal privacy. But now the entire hall is in chaos, in such mess if one could steal the Nanming Lihuo Sword, then the mask which can hide their figure would be the best cover. By that time, one only needs to put the Divine Sword into the Storage Ring and leave grandly.

Ning Xiaoxian guessed their mind too. She just suffered from the Divine Sword recently, secretly laughed coldly: This sword is extraordinary, those who want to take advantage may be misjudging the idea!

The masked guest, whose real appearance was unseen, appeared short. His movements were agile, stepping lightly on the nearly unstable inclined ground a few times, and swiftly approached Yu Yingnan. Evidently, he was also a body cultivator, when he landed beside the Jiuxiao Sect, Yu Yingnan’s master seemed to only stared at him without making a move.

Without thinking, he extended his hand to snatch the Nanming Lihuo Sword still stuck in the ground.

In this hall, there were many with profound cultivation, noticing someone was willing to act as the test stone, instantly numerous eyes stared fixedly at this spot.

The guest easily reached the Nanming Lihuo Sword’s hilt, pulled forcefully, and then—

—that’s it.

The Divine Sword remained motionless, still firmly lodged in the ground, seemingly rooted there.

Unwilling to give up, he tried pulling harder a few more times, yet the Divine Sword didn’t unleash the terrifying high temperature to burn him like it did to Ning Xiaoxian, instead adopting an indifferent attitude toward him.

While he stood stunned, a towering man from behind advanced, pushing him aside: "Make way!" Extending a large fist, he grasped the sword hilt. The pushed-aside cultivator felt somewhat embarrassed, knowing it wasn’t the time to act up, so he retreated dejectedly.

The tall man roared furiously, his form grew larger, apparently utilizing some Giant Strength divine skills, only then gripped the sword hilt tightly, exerting a powerful pull!

Looking at his momentum, it should have been a sure success, but despite making a full gesture, the Nanming Lihuo Sword remained tightly pinned to the seventh-floor’s Black Stone ground, showing no signs of even the slightest looseness.

This moment, Ning Xiaoxian and the rest understood, this damn broken sword indeed recognizes its master, unwilling to heed others’ orders. Everyone cursed inwardly, the sword’s Artifact Spirit truly had a proud masochistic attribute, dropped beside its beloved female master quietly as a Divine Sword would have been enough, yet it had to cause such a commotion, putting on a show as if a Divine Artifact emerged, then plunged headlong into the floor of the Star-picking Tower... Ning Xiaoxian silently complained: You are the Nanming Lihuo Sword, not the Sword in the Stone of King Arthur, why mimic searching for a master?

Ning Xiaoxian didn’t attempt to pull; her right hand still bore the stubborn Fire Poison, even after consuming a Spirit Pill and applying external trauma medicine, it still hurt fiercely, nearly immobilizing her. She knew the sword’s malicious side, fearing even if a powerful demon could truly pull it out, the final outcome would mirror hers, getting burned hands.

For the first time, she saw such high-profile, proud Artifact Spirit. Speaking of this type of Divine Artifact, is it really willing to devote itself under someone like Yu Yingnan, a cultivator with shallow power? (To be continued.
