Wang Chong's heart thumped in warning, and he felt like tens of thousands of sharp and vicious streams of energy had locked onto him. One second later, and he would be torn to shreds by these dreadful energies.
Wang Chong blinked as he blurted out, ”What is this?”
”A sword mound! Or perhaps you could call it the Origin Immortal Sword Formation,” Bagushidu said.
”You should have run into the second generation on your way here. The second-generation successor was a master of the sword, but you might not know that the second-generation actually learned his sword arts from the first-generation. This sword art uses innumerable kinds of swords as its vehicle, and when it activates, it strikes with the unbounded fury of a storm. The first-generation successor, with his supreme intelligence and understanding, fused together the Origin Immortal lineage with his own understandings to create this supreme art. This is also the greatest sword technique in the entirety of the Origin Immortal Art.”
As Bagushidu spoke, he extended his left hand and lightly waved. The fog in the region was instantly swept away by an invisible hand, revealing countless swords in various states of disrepair. They began from several dozen feet from the end of the bridge and stretched on into the depths of the fog.
Even with Wang Chong's abilities, he found it impossible to estimate just how many of these damaged swords there were. These swords swam through the air like sharks, a frightening sight that made one's hair stand on end and feel the fear felt by the insignificantly tiny.
”The first-generation successor is not like the others. My Art of Dark Heaven has no effect on him. As soon as I enter this region, I'll immediately be attacked.”
”Hmph, if you don't go into the tiger's cave, how can you get the tiger cub? You think that you can get the Origin Immortal Art by doing nothing? Does the future state teacher of all Turks not even have the courage the face the first generation?”
Wang Chong coldly snorted in derision. The two of them were enemies and Wang Chong knew that Bagushidu wouldn't let him go, so there was no need to be courteous.
”Heheh, if you understood what sort of person the first-generation successor was, you wouldn't say that.”
Bagushidu was unperturbed and spoke with composure toward Wang Chong.
”The Origin Immortal Lord had six generations of disciples, but only the first-generation disciple was personally taught by him, and he was the only generation that actually met with the Origin Immortal Lord. This underground palace and these barriers were all laid out by him according to the decree of the Origin Immortal Lord. The first-generation was sincerely devoted to the Origin Immortal Lord. He was both his disciple and his most loyal follower.
”One could say that without the first generation, there would be no Origin Immortal Treasury. If one wants to obtain the Origin Immortal Art, one must defeat this strongest generation.”
Bagushidu paused for a moment.
”But compared to the first disciple, I'm more worried about the sword in front of him.”
”The sword?”
Wang Chong's eyes flashed in surprise.
He had always thought the sword and the first-generation successor were together, or to be more precise, the successor controlled the sword. But Bagushidu was clearly talking about something else.
”…That sword is very special. Anyone who steps onto these chains to try and approach the sword will immediately feel incredibly uncomfortable, like there's a dagger pressed against one's spine. This sensation only gets stronger and stronger.
”Back then, State Teacher Ishinishidu was able to remove all the obstacles in his path, and he strode through the caves like they were his own garden. But after taking ten-some steps toward this divine sword, he turned ghastly pale and cold sweat drenched his back. And like he was fighting a battle, he was also consuming energy. If not for this, Honored State Teacher would not have died here.
”I originally thought that after two hundred years, the divine sword would have been significantly weakened. But when I took my first step, I immediately realized that the divine sword was even stronger than Ishinishidu had remembered.
”I had only taken seven steps…”
Bagushidu stopped halfway, realizing what he was doing, smiled, and changed the subject.
”In short, while it's possible to block the successor's attack, the situation is completely different with that divine sword. One man and one sword have together formed the final barrier of the Origin Immortal Treasury. If you can cross this final barrier, you can obtain the Origin Immortal Art and the Origin Immortal Elixir!”
”Origin Immortal Elixir?”
Wang Chong's eyes widened as Bagushidu divulged this new piece of information to him. The existence of the first generation and that divine sword had already taken him by surprise, and now there was this elixir that he had never heard anything about. For some reason, Bagushidu, a Hu, seemed to know much more than anyone else did.
”Haha, there's no harm in telling you.”
Bagushidu smiled, apparently sure that Wang Chong was doomed and could not escape. Thus, he was completely forthright and open with Wang Chong's last questions.
