Chapter 57 Outstanding Rewards!

Although Arthur was surprised when he saw the map, he tried not to show it.
'If that is the case, then how did the other map come about?'
'I will need to ask Luke for more details later. There is a possibility that the old man who gave him the map was related to the founder of the sect or could even be the man himself.'
"This map contains the location of the treasure which the sect's founder had placed in a secret realm of the sect."
"But be warned, although the founder has sealed the treasure and somewhat tamed it, the treasure is sentient and has grown powerful over the years."
"There is a formation in place that will assist you but you still have to decide based on your abilities if you can conquer it," the artifact spirit was serious as he spoke.
"What is this treasure?" Arthur asked curiously as this was the main reason he came to the Heavenly Sword Sect after all.
"The treasure is something that is related to the Sword Dao. As for the details of what it is, you will be able to find out when you get there."
"Okay, I understand," Arthur nodded.
The artifact spirit flicked his fingers and a storage ring appeared before Arthur which he grabbed.
"Within that ring is cultivation resources that should be enough to help you reach the highest realm possible in this small world and some other rare cultivation resources from the upper realms.
Also within the ring is the item that will help you in comprehending the Sword Dao."
Arthur checked the contents of the ring and was shocked by what he saw.
"Elemental Crystals?" He blurted out.
"Oh, you even know about those. It seems you are not as ignorant as I thought."
"Elemental Crystals are super rare in this world but there are so many here and they are even high-grade ones!" Arthur could not hide his excitement.
'With these crystals, my cultivation speed will be more than doubled!'
Elemental crystals, unlike spirit crystals, are condensed pure elemental essence.
If spirit crystals contain pure spirit energy that cultivators can absorb easily, then elemental crystals contain attributed essence energy.
'Unfortunately, there are only right types.'
The elemental crystals in the ring were of fire, water, earth, wind, wood, lightning, darkness, and light.
'I still need two more. But having this is already good enough, and at the very least for these eight elements I will cultivate faster and only cultivate slowly for the rest,' Arthur was still happy though.
"Now of these stone slabs embedded in these pillars, you are allowed to pick one."
"What do they contain?" Arthur looked at the stone slabs and noticed that they had writings on them.
"These are sword techniques that were given by the immortal and some that were left here by the sect founder."
"I can pick only one?"
"Yes...but you know what? Take three with you. Who knows how long before someone else will be able to clear all floors."
"Thank you, that is great!"
Arthur scurried to check the contents of the sword techniques and saw their names and descriptions.
[Sword Control Technique]
[Sword Dance Technique]
[False Sword Domain Technique]
[Heavens Severance Technique]
...
Arthur had his eyes on these four after reading their descriptions.
Of all nine sword techniques, the Heavens Severance Technique was the most attractive to him.
The Sword Dance technique was a movement technique that will allow a practitioner to fight in a battle where he is surrounded, and also move in perfect harmony with the sword.
The False Sword Domain technique was the array that the sword puppet used against him that suppressed his strength for a while.
As for the Sword Control technique, it was a technique that allowed one to control swords with their essence energy and use it to attack from afar.
It was the higher version of the Flying Sword technique which was known to be used by senior sword practitioners in the Mortal Emperor Realm.
But where the Flying Sword technique could only be used to control one sword, the Sword Control Technique could be used to control hundreds.
Arthur was definitely choosing the Heaven Severance Technique as its ability was the best for him.
As for the other three, he would have to drop one which left him indecisive.
The artifact spirit saw this and decided to make one more exception.
"Alright, just take all four of them."
"Really? Thank you!" Arthur was grateful and hurriedly removed the stone slabs and put them in his spacial ring.
"Alright, next is the sword. This was the previous sword of the founder which he left here when he got a better one."
"The sword is semi-sentient so you will have to make it acknowledge you else you will not be able to use it properly."
"And as for how you do gain its acknowledgment, that is up to you. Mind you, this sword was the one the sect founder used to settle his blood feud. So it has a lot of killing intent within, be careful."
The artifact spirit picked up the sword himself for Arthur and helped him place the sword in his spacial ring.
When they did that, Arthur was able to briefly sense the dense amount of killing intent contained in the sword.
'I guess it was used for a lot of slaughter.'
"Now before you leave I would like to warn you. Be careful in the sect, as there might be some who are not happy about your success."
"I also request that you keep the truth about this tower to yourself and tell no one else," the artifact spirit had a very serious expression as he said that.
Arthur nodded and said seriously, "I promise."
"Good, now you can leave."
Before Arthur could react, he was teleported down to the ground floor in the room where his test started.
He thought about what the artifact spirit warned him about and transferred all that he had received into the spacial ring that was given to him by Su Hao.
That spacial ring was invisible and can not be sensed by any in this realm, so that way he will have no problem lying.
With that done, he turned to leave.
*Dang!*
The door opened and he walked out into the hall where David and Sophia were.
