Chapter 275: Choosing to Stay
Jianxuan had made all the necessary preparations.
He knew that no matter where the tomb recorded on the ancient page was, it must be fraught with danger. The person who recorded this place was once the leader of the Wanjian Immortal Sect.
From ancient times to the present, who can be a weak person to be the leader of a clan?
But even such a person was defeated in the face of numerous obstacles in the Nameless Emperor's Tomb.
Apart from anything else, the existence of the "Sword Domain" alone is probably an extremely difficult chasm to break through.
"Sword Realm" is the pinnacle of the sword path, the ultimate of all mortals. It is said that a sword practitioner who can comprehend the Sword Realm is infinitely close to the former "Immortal Level" in terms of attainment in swordsmanship.
But, it's difficult.
Even a woman like Jiang Lingyun, who is praised as a rare talent in a thousand years, has not yet comprehended the power of the "Sword Domain".
It is quite difficult to break through someone else's "sword domain".
Jian Xuan's only chance is that the "Sword Domain" surrounding the Emperor's Tomb has been weakened by the passage of too much time. It is weaker than when the sect leader broke in to explore it. So he has a chance.
to be honest.
This kind of thinking is purely relying on luck.
But what if I really am that lucky?
Thinking of this, Jian Xuan resolutely chose this path.
Ironically, it was precisely because he didn't want to worry Junior Sister Jiang, who was practicing hard in Mobei at the time, that Jian Xuan was confident that he could escape even if he couldn't make it.
Therefore, there was no letter left indicating his whereabouts.
However, just finding the location of the nameless emperor's tomb was very time-consuming and laborious. He spent several years inquiring in the Riyan Dynasty before he finally found it.
By the time he found it, this "Tomb of the Nameless Emperor" had completely disappeared.
There is a solitary mountain sitting on top of the mausoleum, very high. When the sect leader found this place, it was probably just a small hill, right?
And next.
Just as Jian Xuan guessed.
The power of the outer sword domain has been greatly weakened due to the passage of time.
But even so, in order to get through, Jian Xuan used up almost all of his Taoist power.
Then, he was besieged by those "vengeful spirits" outside the tomb hall.
Those resentful souls did not have the strength of the Mahayana stage, but had fallen to the Tribulation Crossing stage. Originally, it was effortless for Jian Xuan to deal with these remnant souls.
What a pity.
In order to pass the first level of obstacles, Jian Xuan almost exhausted his Taoist power and had no chance to replenish it. Moreover, those resentful souls in the Tribulation Period also came in the tens of thousands and were impossible to kill, forcing Jian Xuan to make a desperate attempt and escape into the tomb hall.
Just entered the temple.
He was killed by an ancient formation of unknown origin that was still operating in the hall!He was lucky and did not die or have his body and soul dispersed.
Until Gu Heng came and took him away.
However, Jian Xuan's risky move to break into the Nameless Emperor's Tomb was a complete failure. He sacrificed his body, his life's cultivation, and more than two thousand years of time...
"...That's how it is."
"No matter what, that nameless tomb is definitely not simple."
When Jian Xuan recalled this incident, he felt extremely regretful and guilty.
"I see."
Jiang Lingyun listened to his story and was silent for a long time before she spoke softly, "Brother, don't be so reckless next time."
"If Master Gu hadn't rescued you, would I have never been able to find you until I died?"
Jian Xuan nodded and smiled bitterly.
"Junior sister, what you said is absolutely right."
Although Jiang Lingyun said it lightly, how could he have suffered life and death for more than two thousand years be erased so easily?
Of course he knew this, and he also knew that Junior Sister Jiang didn't want him to continue dwelling on the past because of this matter.
Having lived for so long and knowing each other for so long, her relationship with Jian Xuan has long been extraordinary, and there has never been any overnight grudge between them.
Now that the people have been found, what else is there to say?
Let's make up for the time we regrettably lost!
"Although your cultivation has now fallen to the fifth level of Mahayana, it doesn't matter. After we return to the sect, I will prepare to re-refine your body, and you can just rest assured and recuperate."
Jiang Lingyun looked at the man in front of her, a faint smile on her lips, and her eyes were full of tenderness.
She always wanted to give him the best help.
Then.
Then I heard Jian Xuan say: "Junior sister, actually, I don't plan to go back to the sect with you for the time being."
Hearing this, Jiang Lingyun's eyes flickered slightly.
She raised her eyes to look at Jian Xuan and asked, "Brother, why is this happening?"
Jian Xuan seemed to have noticed something was wrong with his junior sister, so he immediately explained, "Junior sister, please don't worry too much. It's not that I don't want to, but I plan to nourish my soul to its full potential first. When Master Gu came here just now, you should have seen the ancient lamp where I was staying, right?"
Jiang Lingyun nodded.
That lamp is indeed a bit strange.
She had a hunch that the lamp might be some rare treasure, but Jiang Lingyun knew nothing about these things.
If it's a sword, then maybe I understand.
But Jiang Lingyun knew nothing about magic weapons other than swords. She had been using swords all her life anyway, so there was no need for her to know what other treasures looked like or what their uses were.Sword skills practiced to perfection are more useful than any treasure.
"That lamp is called the 'Primordial Soul Lamp'. Although I don't know what this lamp is used for, unless there are some ancient books in the sect that can be checked, I will know, but this lamp can nourish my remaining soul, which is very effective!"
He paused before continuing, "I intend to take this opportunity to restore the remnant soul to its perfect state."
His expression was solemn and serious, yet there was an inexplicable sense of determination in it.
"Is it really that amazing?"
Jiang Lingyun narrowed her eyes.
"Junior sister, when Master Gu first found me, I only had the strength of the Fusion Stage. Only a few months have passed, and I have now recovered to the fifth stage of the Mahayana Stage."
Jian Xuan smiled faintly: "That thing is indeed very powerful."
Jiang Lingyun looked at him quietly.
Suddenly, she stretched out her arms, hugged Jian Xuan, and put her face against his chest.
"Then Senior Brother, please don't disappear again this time."
Her voice was low.
Jian Xuan was stunned for a moment.
Then, he patted the person in his arms and shook his head slowly: "Absolutely not."
This moment.
The scene of his first meeting with Jiang Lingyun reappeared in Jian Xuan's mind.
He has spoiled her like this since she was little.
only...
He had never been able to fulfill her wish, to recognize each other's feelings and become Taoist companions.
This matter has always been something he owed her, and it was also one of the regrets in their hearts.
"Um..."
Jiang Lingyun nodded slightly.
"Master Gu saved your life and nourished your soul with treasures. We owe him a lot."
Jian Xuan sighed softly.
This favor is indeed great.
Jian Xuan is a person who doesn't want to owe favors to others, but it seems that he is not qualified to repay him now.
But there will always be a chance in the future.
