Chapter 269: Emperor Xuanyuan Sword, Dragon Vein

"Awoo!"

The Fire Fire Fire Qilin submitted to Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen and immediately led him to a certain place.

It was a cave blocked by a wall.

"Awoo!"

The Fire Fire Fire Qilin roared at the wall for a while.

"You want me to break this wall?"

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen understood the Fire Fire Fire Qilin's intent.

Without hesitation, he struck out with a palm.

With a rumble, the wall was shattered.

As the dust settled, Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen saw a vast space within the ruins.

"Is this the Emperor Xuanyuan Tomb?"

A name surfaced in Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen's mind.

One of the four treasures of Lingyun Cave: the Emperor Xuanyuan Tomb.

Inside lay the Dragon Vein, an object fought over by all.

"Young Master, are you sure there's no mistake?"

"This is the Emperor Xuanyuan Tomb?"

Li Li Li Hanyi was startled.

Emperor Emperor Xuanyuan—who was he?

He was one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

One of the ancestors of the Nine Provinces.

Yet his mausoleum had always been a legend; no one could ever find it.

In fact, the beings of the Nine Provinces believed the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were merely myths.

Now, Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen was saying this was the Emperor Xuanyuan Tomb?

"Whether it is or not, we'll know once we go in!"

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen stepped inside.

The next moment, he saw a massive plaza.

In this plaza stood various stone statues, seemingly guarding something.

Following the line of sight across the plaza, he looked ahead.

There was actually a throne!

On the throne sat a skeleton holding a sword; the posture was truly peerlessly imposing.

It was evident that this skeleton must have been a great figure in life.

Furthermore, as they walked forward,

they saw that the skeleton had a tail resembling a dragon's bone at its base.

"Legend has it that Emperor Emperor Xuanyuan possessed the bloodline of a human-dragon; this must surely be Emperor Emperor Xuanyuan!"

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen stated his deduction.

Lingyun Cave held the Dragon Vein.

And this Dragon Vein was formed from the remains of Emperor Emperor Xuanyuan.

"Dragon-human?"

"Is this legend true?"

"Then, are the gods and Buddhas of legend also real?"

Luo Mingxia pondered a question.

If the legend were true, were those gods and Buddhas real as well?

But why had these gods and Buddhas vanished without a trace?

Where had they all gone?

"These matters are too far removed from us; no need to dwell on them!"

"Sometimes, knowing too much is not a good thing!"

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen cut her off.

If gods and Buddhas truly existed, would the beings of the Nine Provinces be their match?

Since they had chosen not to manifest in the world, why break the status quo?

With that said, Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen examined the sword in Emperor Emperor Xuanyuan's hand.

In the original story of *Wind and Cloud*, everyone fought for the Dragon Vein, yet no one paid attention to this sword.

Since this sword could accompany Emperor Emperor Xuanyuan,

did it not mean it was also a divine weapon?

It was even highly likely to be the legendary Emperor Xuanyuan Sword!

Thinking of this, Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen walked forward and grabbed the long sword.

With a rumble,

the skeleton turned to dust, leaving behind only a single dragon bone.

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen did not care about that, however.

At this moment, his mind was captivated by the long sword.

The sword was broad, thick, and massive.

It looked more like a two-handed sword.

The blade was covered in dust, making it look like scrap iron.

But as Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen channeled his energy to clear the dust, a golden blade was revealed.

Yet the blade was covered in cracks.

It was clear this sword had been through countless battles.

*Swish!*

Just then,

the Inverse Scale Sword suddenly flew out, its body trembling.

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen felt the sword spirit's yearning.

To make the sword spirit express such longing, the sword in his hand must surely be the Emperor Xuanyuan Sword!

"Do you want it?"

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen gently stroked the Inverse Scale Sword.

*Hum, hum, hum.*

The Inverse Scale Sword trembled.

As Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen nodded, the sword spirit flew out of the Inverse Scale Sword and dove into the Emperor Xuanyuan Sword.

The next moment, a divine light radiated from the Emperor Xuanyuan Sword.

The Inverse Scale Sword even shattered into fragments, attaching itself to the Emperor Xuanyuan Sword.

The two weapons had fused together in a bizarre fashion.

The next moment,

black patterns appeared on the golden blade.

At the same time, Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen felt the joy of the sword spirit.

This sword was a divine artifact!

It had only lost its divine power because it was damaged in battle and its original spirit had perished.

Now, the new spirit had become the Emperor Xuanyuan Sword's spirit.

The Inverse Scale Sword had been devoured by the Emperor Xuanyuan Sword to repair the damage.

The Emperor Xuanyuan Sword once again radiated divine might.

This sword was indestructible and could even suppress demons and evil.

Furthermore, it carried supreme fortune!

A good item!

With the Emperor Xuanyuan Sword in hand, Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen looked at the Dragon Vein.

But as he picked up the Dragon Vein from the ground, he immediately felt a terrifying force radiate from it.

A burning sensation even traveled to his palm.

It seemed the Dragon Vein was instinctively resisting him.

"Interesting!"

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen chuckled.

In the original story, the Dragon Vein was the most rigid, yang-aligned, and righteous object in the world.

It suppressed evil and demonic forces.

While he couldn't call himself a bad person, he certainly wasn't a good one.

Was that why he was being resisted by the Dragon Vein?

However, if resistance were effective, this object wouldn't have helped Xiong Ba become a chaotic demon king.

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen knew he could fully absorb the power of the Dragon Vein to advance his cultivation.

But Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen did not do so.

He had another bold idea.

If he fused with the Dragon Vein, could he also obtain the dragon-human bloodline?

Thinking of this, Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen stored the Dragon Vein in his system space.

He would study it when he had time!
