Chapter 19: Twelve Strange Treasures
Lin Ping's mother is physically weak and seems to have suffered a very serious injury.
He did not drink breast milk, but instead grew up drinking the milk of some wet nurses.
In the blink of an eye, eight years have passed, and Lin Chao has gained a certain understanding of this world.
This world is not what he had imagined.
This is not an Ordinary world; this world possesses Supernatural existences.
However, the appearance of the Supernatural has been very brief, only twenty years.
These twenty years are also the twenty years since the founding of Daxia.
Now eight years old, Lin Chao has arrived at the Back Mountain of the Dan Sword Sect.
Eight years old is an extremely important matter for the children of Daxia.
Of course, for those Ordinary children, it still does not matter.
At this moment, Lin Chao has arrived at the Back Mountain.
Beside him, there are only six or seven people.
Lin Chao knows that these people are the core of the Dan Sword Sect.
Or rather, they are the Extraordinary Persons of the Dan Sword Sect.
A white-haired old man walks forward, holding a sword box in his hands.
He looks at Lin Chao and muses.
"Twenty years ago, a star fell from the sky, and twelve Strange Treasures appeared in the world.
Cang Jun obtained the Canglong Stone, swept away ten kingdoms, and built Daxia.
The Dan Sword Sect obtained an iron sword."
A solemn expression is on the old man's face.
Lin Chao looks at the sword box in the old man's hands, his heart filled with anticipation.
Originally, this world was one of warring states and competing feudal lords.
However, twenty years ago, a star fell from the sky, and many Strange Treasures appeared in the world.
Among them, the most famous is the Canglong Stone.
Cang Jun obtained the Canglong Stone, with destiny upon him and the mandate of heaven in Cang, he swept away nine kingdoms and unified Daxia.
It can be said that the Canglong Stone is the foundation of the Cang state.
The Strange Treasure obtained by the Dan Sword Sect is named the Dao Sword.
"Only those with a firm Dao heart can obtain the recognition of the Dao Sword and open the path of the Extraordinary Person." A solemn expression is on the old man's face.
At that time, the appearance of the Strange Treasures created quite a few Extraordinary Persons.
These Extraordinary Persons possess terrifying abilities, like the cultivators in Mythical legends.
The strong can control swords to behead enemies from a thousand miles away.
Among them, the Canglong Stone obtained by Daxia is the most powerful existence among these Strange Treasures.
This also established the status of Daxia.
Even though Cang Jun is licentious and lawless, with the Canglong Stone, Cang Jun remains secure and free from worry.
These twelve Strange Treasures can give birth to powerful Extraordinary Persons.
Of course, there are conditions.
Although the current Dan Sword Sect controls the Dao Sword, they still do not know how the Dao Sword creates Extraordinary Persons.
Of course, over these many years, they have also mastered the patterns.
Eight-year-old children are at their most pure, which is when the probability of obtaining the Dao Sword's recognition is highest.
Drip a drop of fresh blood onto the Dao Sword.
If one resonates with the Dao Sword, one can officially become a cultivator.
However, this requires a firm Dao heart, or a firm will, to trigger the resonance of the Dao Sword.
Of course, there is also a quota for this.
Roughly once a year, only one person is qualified to receive the baptism of the Dao Sword.
Over these many years, besides the initial five, only three people have obtained the recognition of the Dao Sword in the Dan Sword Sect.
The current Dan Sword Sect has a full 8 Extraordinary Persons.
Even so, the Dan Sword Sect is only the second strongest among the twelve factions that possess Extraordinary Persons.
The first is the undisputed Taiqing Palace, or rather, Daxia.
Taiqing Palace is the state religion of Daxia.
The Palace Master of Taiqing Palace is the younger brother of Cang Jun.
"Ping'er, place your hand on the Dao Sword." Lin Leng's gaze is full of anticipation.
The current Dan Sword Sect is not doing well.
The might of Daxia is too strong.
Moreover, Cang Jun is too overbearing, and there are already rumors in the palace that Cang Jun intends to take action against these eleven factions of Extraordinary Persons.
Lin Leng hopes that his child will have some ability to protect himself.
In this world, only by becoming an Extraordinary Person can one have some decency and dignity.
"Very well, Father."
Lin Chao walks forward.
At this time, the old man opens the sword box.
A simple, ancient sword appears in everyone's view.
This sword looked extremely peculiar; it was square and blocky, and had not been sharpened.
From this sword, Lin Chao sensed an aura that was ancient and profound.
Lin Chao felt somewhat fortunate that his talent was Sword Soul.
Thus, he felt a bit more confident about this Awakening.
He placed his hand upon the Dao Sword.
A cold sensation traveled through him, and Lin Chao stood motionless.
At this moment, Lin Leng and the others in the room were all watching Lin Chao.
This concerned the future inheritance of the Dan Sword Sect!
As Lin Chao's hand rested on the Dao Sword, a slight tearing sensation suddenly arrived.
Clearly, there was an unsharpened Dao Sword before him, yet a scratch appeared in the center of his palm.
A few drops of fresh blood flowed out and rolled onto the Dao Sword.
Suddenly, the Dao Sword flashed with light, and seven-colored rays appeared.
Seeing this scene, the people present were stunned for a moment, then revealed expressions of wild joy.
"Ping'er truly has the talent of an Extraordinary Person," Lin Leng said, stroking his beard and revealing a satisfied smile.
"The brightness of this light is even more intense than when Lin Leng underwent Awakening.
It seems our Lin family is about to produce another powerhouse."
One must know that for an Ordinary person to awaken as an Extraordinary Person is extremely difficult.
Even the most powerful Taiqing Palace, or the Great Cang Imperial Family, has fewer than fifteen Extraordinary Persons in total.
However, even with only fifteen, Cang Jun is still able to suppress the world.
This has an inseparable connection to the powerful Extraordinary Persons born from the Canglong Stone.
But more importantly, legend has it that the Canglong Stone can suppress destiny!
With the Canglong Stone present, Great Cang can rest easy, and its national fortune will flourish.
The crowd watched Lin Chao, waiting with peace of mind.
Roughly, it would only take twenty breaths of time for Lin Chao to complete his Awakening.
Yet, just at this moment, an anomaly suddenly erupted from the Dao Sword.
A unique sword hum resonated, sounding like thunder from the Nine Heavens.
Lin Leng was instantly stunned, his body trembling uncontrollably: "This is... the Dao Sword acknowledging its master!"
