Chapter 1231 - 1234: Sword Spirit and Immortal Artifact

The Sword Spirit has awakened.These mere five words were enough to leave Master Pu Hang unsettled for a long time.

In this Kunlun Sacred Land, perhaps few knew the true meaning behind these words, but he did.

Even his master at that time, the elderly but rejuvenated Master Kong Wen before him, had been defeated by the awakened Sword Spirit.

The Sword Spirit was not a person, yet one could say it was akin to a person.

Every Pavilion Master of Mingjian Pavilion throughout history wielded a Divine Artifact, the Long Rainbow Sword.

The origin of this sword was unknown, but it was known that since the first Pavilion Master of Mingjian Pavilion, the Long Rainbow Sword had been a symbol of the Pavilion Master's identity.

No matter how many generations of Pavilion Masters came and went, the Long Rainbow Sword was always in the hands of the new Pavilion Master.

Over time, the Long Rainbow Sword developed a spirit, nurturing a new life, which was the so-called Sword Spirit.

With its own consciousness, the power of the Long Rainbow Sword was far greater than before, especially enhancing the effectiveness of Mingjian Pavilion's signature technique, the Heaven-Slaying Seven Swords.

At this moment, within the main hall of the Celestial Saint Sect, Yun Hao sat at the head seat, furrowing his brows as he reviewed the information brought by Sun Fei and Gu Feng.

Originally, Yun Hao planned to set off for Mingjian Pavilion three days later, so he wanted Sun Fei to gather some information about Mingjian Pavilion to better know the enemy.

Unexpectedly, he came across an account of the great war in the Kunlun Sacred Land fifty years ago, recorded by past Sect Leaders of the Celestial Saint Sect, ensuring its credibility.

The records stated that fifty years ago, a group from the Upper Realm descended, intending to claim the Kunlun Sacred Land as their pawns in the Lower Realm.

Which sect from the Upper Realm they belonged to was not recorded, though.

It was known that the Sect Leaders of the three major sects invested all their might into the battle, with other sects of Kunlun Sacred Land joining the fray as well.

To them, Kunlun Sacred Land was an independent entity that absolutely should not be led by people from the Upper Realm, considering it merely another barrier like theirs.

If so, why listen to them?

Moreover, Kunlun Sacred Land was at its peak strength then, and even less inclined to submit to others, hence the fight ensued.

The battle turned the sky dark and changed the landscape.

Eventually, the ones from the Upper Realm were defeated, but cultivators from the Kunlun Sacred Land also suffered heavy casualties. The then Sect Leader of Qian Guang Temple was badly wounded and never heard from again, rumored to be dead…

The previous Sect Leader of the Celestial Saint Sect perished along with a formidable opponent.

Even Jian Chi, the Pavilion Master of Mingjian Pavilion, was gravely injured, teetering on the brink of death until the Long Rainbow Sword in his hand, with its Sword Spirit, drove back the remaining Upper Realm invaders, saving the entire Kunlun Sacred Land.

Sword Spirit…

Yun Hao pondered. He had heard that when a weapon is nurtured by too much spiritual power, it can indeed bring forth a Sword Spirit.

And once a weapon nurtures a Sword Spirit, even an ordinary iron piece could become an Immortal Artifact.

Yun Hao did not expect that within Mingjian Pavilion, there existed such an Immortal Artifact capable of nurturing a Sword Spirit.

This journey may well be a fierce battle.

After all, in terms of cultivation technique, the Heaven-Slaying Seven Swords that the opposing side practices is superior to the Celestial Saint Sect's techniques.

And Liancheng is just a small fry with a Blue Primordial Spirit.

Moreover, the most crucial point is that Liancheng only assumed his position after their previous Sect Leader died fifty years ago.

Jian Chi, however, was already the Pavilion Master of Mingjian Pavilion during the Upper Realm invasion fifty years ago, making his strength incredibly formidable.

Yun Hao even suspected that what Sun Fei once told him, about Jian Chi narrowly defeating Liancheng in a duel, was intentional on Jian Chi's part.

It is very likely that Jian Chi did not want to reveal too much of his cultivation, or perhaps he had some other hidden motives.

Below, Sun Fei and Gu Feng stood silently, not daring to speak and disturb Yun Hao's thoughts.

In their hearts, they had gained a deeper understanding of Jian Chi of Mingjian Pavilion, especially Gu Feng, who was almost frightened to death.

He knew Jian Chi's cultivation was profound, but he never imagined Jian Chi had been the Pavilion Master of Mingjian Pavilion for so long, let alone that the Long Rainbow Sword he wielded was an Immortal Artifact with a Sword Spirit.

"Send out the message: I, Yun Hao, will visit Mingjian Pavilion tomorrow at noon!"

Just as Sun Fei and Gu Feng exchanged looks of uncertainty, Yun Hao closed the documents in his hands and loudly instructed.

Tomorrow at noon?

Hearing this, both Sun Fei and Gu Feng momentarily froze, then, seeing Yun Hao's resolute eyes, quickly went to deliver the message.

Sword Spirit? Immortal Artifact?

So what?

I, Yun Hao, have never feared anyone.

Tomorrow, let me, Yun Hao, slay the Sword Spirit, destroy the Immortal Artifact, and lay waste to Mingjian Pavilion!

The news of Yun Hao's planned visit to Mingjian Pavilion had been released, causing an uproar in all directions.

They had been waiting three days to hear this, and finally, now, it was here.

In just one day, the number one figure in Kunlun Sacred Land would emerge, whether it would be the longstanding overlord Jian Chi, or the recently rising star Yun Hao, would soon be revealed.

Although Yun Hao's message said he was going to visit Mingjian Pavilion, nobody was foolish enough to believe his trip was merely a friendly visit.

That night, Yun Hao sat alone at the head seat of the Celestial Saint Sect's main hall. Neither Qing Luan nor Lu Qingzhu, nor anyone else came to disturb him.

Qing Luan and Lu Qingzhu, though eager to find Yun Hao and do what they enjoyed, knew that he needed to rest and gather his energy at that moment!

Moreover, everyone was focused on their cultivation, knowing full well, just like Sun Fei and Gu Feng, that their fates were tied with Yun Hao's.

From the moment they followed Yun Hao to storm the Celestial Saint Sect, overthrow Liancheng the Sect Leader, and kill so many from other sects, their paths were intertwined with Yun Hao, leaving no room for escape.

Not only would Yun Hao kill them, but so would the people of Mingjian Pavilion.

Hence, rather than thinking futile thoughts, it was better to utilize the last remaining time to cultivate diligently, hoping to aid Yun Hao in tomorrow's battle.

Although the second elder Shang Jian and third elder Duan Jian of Mingjian Pavilion had been slain by Yun Hao, and the fourth elder Gu Feng had surrendered to him, Mingjian Pavilion had stood tall for so long, surely possessing more experts besides Pavilion Master Jian Chi, not to be underestimated.
