Chapter 201: The Master of the Xuantian Giant Sword

The value of the Four Extinction Swords is beyond doubt; even exchanging them for a genuine Huan Sheng Dan would be more than sufficient.

But Yu Zhangsheng understood that sometimes a transaction cannot consider only the commodity's value; there are many other influencing factors.

And right now, he had produced the Four Extinction Swords scroll, and Shen Xingchen on the other side was not vague either, receiving it and holding it in hand to observe, while simultaneously handing the scroll in his own hand over to Yu Zhangsheng.

"This is?"

Yu Zhangsheng looked at the scroll in his hand in confusion, then looked at Shen Xingchen with a face full of smiles, somewhat puzzled.

"One matter settled per matter; since Senior Brother Changsheng could endure the pain and part with what he cherishes, then this side of mine cannot be vague either, right?"

Shen Xingchen laughed heartily, expression serious: "I think this technique should be of some help to Senior Brother Changsheng; leaving it with me would only be a treasure pearl gathering dust, better to hand it over to you."

"Ah?" Yu Zhangsheng was stunned.

"The method within isn't that noble, but the effect is still very good; there should be none like it in the sect. This is a method I cultivated years ago when taming beasts; I thought it would be just right for Senior Brother Changsheng to cultivate, perfectly making an exchange."

Shen Xingchen explained unhurriedly, tone gentle and steady, emotions also ordinary.

Before Shen Xingchen entered the Inner Sect and became Lu Ruikai's disciple, he was a disciple of Yushou Peak; this Yu Zhangsheng knew.

And the method he had cultivated back then actually aroused Yu Zhangsheng's interest, so he nodded, put the scroll away, and cupped his fists in a bow to Shen Xingchen.

"Many thanks, Senior Brother Shen, too polite."

"As it should be." Shen Xingchen waved his hand, "Still, seize the time to sense and temper; three hours have already passed more than half."

"Good." Yu Zhangsheng nodded, carefully sensing his own physical body strength and cultivation base growth, thought for a moment, then tentatively probed a bit, walking toward the deeper inner circle.

A step crossed out, the heaviness transmitted from the pool water increased several degrees, the Sword Gang also became more dense, even the Xuantian Giant Sword in the center trembled ever so slightly, a vast and surging Sword Qi instantly erupted.

However, before Yu Zhangsheng's physical body already tempered to the extreme, with the Thousand Mountains Decision supporting, although it was still painfully unbearable, like being sliced by knives, just a slight adaptation, with Qi and blood flowing, this pain sensation was mostly eliminated, and did not make Yu Zhangsheng lose composure.

The second layer Spirit Platform then slowly condensed and solidified once more.

"Truly formidable, also don't know how Senior Brother cultivated."

Shen Xingchen seeing this, while clicking his tongue in wonder, also similarly moved a fraction closer inside; instantly, bean-sized sweat beads flowed down from Shen Xingchen's forehead, complexion ferocious, clearly not feeling well.

"Ya!"

Shen Xingchen gritted his teeth and let out a low cry, exhaling a mouthful of turbid Qi, the skin on his body also rapidly turning a patch of crimson. Breath momentarily disordered, but in an instant changed to become continuous and vigorous.

Yu Zhangsheng's eyes condensed, he deeply looked at Shen Xingchen once, did not pay excessive attention to that side, but slowly closed both eyes, fully operating the technique, continuing to temper the physical body while simultaneously absorbing all such existences within the pool water.

"Just a pity that with the Red Tempered Snakes' current physical body strength, they still cannot bear this Sword Washing Pool's baptism; if not so, could also release them to soak a bit."

Yu Zhangsheng felt some regret in his heart, but also didn't take it to heart; with a shake of his body, the distance to that Xuantian Giant Sword in the pool center grew closer and closer.

Unknown when, Shen Xingchen also opened his eyes, lightly exhaled, wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned to look at the Xuantian Giant Sword close at hand, gaze complex, lightly said: "Changsheng, do you know the origin of this Sword Washing Pool?"

"Hm?" Yu Zhangsheng suspicious, slightly raised eyebrow, interest piqued, "Don't know, how come, is there still a story in this?" "The specifics I also don't know, but I have heard..."

Shen Xingchen shook his head, thought a moment then continued: "Anyway this Sword Washing Pool should have been constructed by some Patriarch of our Yujian Peak; it is said at the very beginning, this Sword Washing Pool was not used for disciples to temper bodies."

"Tempering bodies is merely an incidental function of this Sword Washing Pool's existence; its true significance, I'm also not too clear, only vaguely heard that its function seems to be suppression and sealing."

Shen Xingchen said lightly, tone not certain, some hesitation within, a pair of eyes coincidentally staring at Yu Zhangsheng, depths of pupils imperceptibly flashing slightly.

"Suppression? Sealing?"

Yu Zhangsheng's expression froze, slightly silent, in an instant thought of many things.

He roughly knew what this suppression and sealing was; the story Wei Lao told him back then... he still remembers vividly now; what can be treated so seriously is none other than the Xuan Gui Ancestor.

These thoughts flashed through Yu Zhangsheng's mind; of course his face showed no abnormal color, only slightly nodding to Shen Xingchen.

"It is also precisely because it has sealing ability, power not revealed, that we can utilize it, develop this Sword Washing Pool, thereby becoming a Holy Land of the sect."

"If not so, with us now at such a close distance to the Xuantian Giant Sword, we would have long been torn to powder by its emitted Sword Qi."

Shen Xingchen finished speaking, suddenly lightly smiled.

Yu Zhangsheng silent, sighed: "So it is like this; also don't know if truly suppression and sealing, then what divine existence could be so strictly guarded."

"This I'm not clear on." Shen Xingchen shook his head, eyes rolling, hehe laughed.

"However, Changsheng, do you want to know whose Magic Treasure this Xuantian Giant Sword is?"

"Oh? This Xuantian Giant Sword is an owned object? Isn't it a Sect Treasure?" Yu Zhangsheng surprised, looking at Shen Xingchen, slightly doubtful.

"Naturally it is an owned object; just its master is no longer here now, so its Magic Treasure was thus requisitioned."

"It is said once, this Xuantian Giant Sword was a Spirit Transformation Magic Treasure; its power shocking heaven, cannot be looked at directly."

Shen Xingchen filled with emotion, when mentioning this Xuantian Giant Sword, gaze exceptionally bright.

"Then, its former master is...?" Yu Zhangsheng slightly pondered, asked aloud, already having an answer in his heart.

Within Wanxiang Sect, ancient to present Spirit Transformation cultivators few and far between; those meeting the requirements, Yu Zhangsheng already had speculations in his heart.

Sure enough, the next instant Yu Zhangsheng heard the answer from Shen Xingchen's mouth.

"To speak of its master, still has thousand threads and ten thousand strands of connection with your Beast Taming Lineage; was both the Peak Master of your Yushou Peak at the time, and also the Peak Master of my Yujian Peak, Cao Jinxian."

Shen Xingchen deeply exhaled a breath, mentioning this person, heart seemed some hesitation.

Within Wanxiang Sect, Cao Jinxian's name for ordinary people is a taboo; not to mention disciples, except for some high-level Elders none know, and Shen Xingchen obviously also only knows a part.

That year's history, except for a few people, the rest almost all never knew.
