Chapter 350: The Xuanyuan Sword Tomb

Duan Fengyun, who was performing Sword Flight at extreme speed, had by now arrived at Fumo Mountain.

Looking at the desolate Fumo Mountain, Duan Fengyun also understood why that old man Chen Fu had brought the remnants of the fallen Chen Kingdom here.

One might ask, who would ever think that the remnants of the Chen Kingdom were hidden within this mountain?

Duan Fengyun remembered that the Kunlun Mirror in the cave where the Taotie was imprisoned was a fake; the real one was found by Yuwen Tuo in another cave.

As a Kunlun Divine General, Yuwen Tuo could naturally find the location of the real Xuanyuan Sword.

Duan Fengyun searched along the way and finally found the cave where Yuwen Tuo had discovered the Kunlun Mirror.

Duan Fengyun drew the Xuanyuan Sword and walked inside cautiously.

Sure enough, an antique-looking mirror stood inside, and Duan Fengyun smiled and said:

"Kunlun Mirror!"

Duan Fengyun ran to the front of the Kunlun Mirror, wanting to pick it up for a look, but the Kunlun Mirror emitted a burst of golden light that repelled him.

Seeing this, Duan Fengyun was not angry but laughed instead:

"What is it? You, this mirror, don't want to leave here before your master arrives?

Forget it, forget it, then I shall leave.

Just make sure that when your master finds you, you absolutely do not tell him that I have been here."

The Kunlun Mirror shone with brilliant golden light again, as if responding to Duan Fengyun's words.

Seeing that the Kunlun Mirror had agreed to his request, Duan Fengyun laughed heartily and left the place.

The first goal of this trip had been completed; he should now go to complete the second task.

Originally, there was a third thing he wanted to see, but he thought that once the Taotie was released, the current strength of that group of people in Guigu Village would be unable to deal with it at all.

Duan Fengyun now had the ability to deal with the Taotie, but he could not intervene.

If he solved the Taotie ahead of time, then who would come to Guigu Village to stir up trouble? Old man Chen Fu would not freeze Guigu Village, and there would be no story of Chen Jingchou leaving the mountain, so Duan Fengyun was determined not to touch the Taotie.

Duan Fengyun withdrew his aura and, after searching along the way, arrived at Guigu Village.

Inside the small village, a group of little ones were listening to an old man giving a lecture.

The old man was precisely Chen Fu, whom Duan Fengyun had seen before, and Chen Fu had a small baby strapped to his back; there was no need to guess that this little one was the Earth Emperor, Chen Jingchou.

Seeing this scene, Duan Fengyun could not help but laugh out loud internally:

"This old man Chen Fu is truly a good nanny."

Meanwhile, little Chen Jingchou kept showing a smiling face on Chen Fu's back, as if there were something happy happening.

Duan Fengyun looked at the village; it was no different from the original story.

It was just that compared to the tall statue of Yuwen Tuo in the original story, the current statue was just a little guy holding a Xuanyuan Sword.

Seeing this, Duan Fengyun remarked sarcastically:

"Chen Fu's resentment toward Yuwen Tuo is truly deep.

When the person was just a small child, he already made a statue for him to vent on.

After the person grew up, he changed it into a large statue.

But what does your fallen kingdom have to do with Yuwen Tuo? He was forced into it against his will; you couldn't do anything about Yang Su, so you vented your resentment on Yuwen Tuo, right?"

Duan Fengyun had always been critical of Chen Fu's resentment toward Yuwen Tuo; they were remnants of a fallen state, and so was Yuwen Tuo, and Yuwen Tuo was even coerced by Yang Su—Yuwen Tuo was even more pitiful than them.

Yet Chen Fu and his group kept resenting Yuwen Tuo, which made Duan Fengyun always feel indignant for Yuwen Tuo.

However, the matter of the statue indicated that Chen Fu must go out every so often; otherwise, he would not be so familiar with Yuwen Tuo's attire, to the point of updating Yuwen Tuo's statue in a timely manner.

There was nothing fun about the current Chen Jingchou, and Duan Fengyun did not want to interfere with Chen Jingchou's development, so he would let Chen Jingchou grow wild according to the original path.

After seeing Chen Jingchou, Duan Fengyun prepared to head to his next and final stop; after this stop, he would begin to properly enter Seclusion and earnestly study the Xuanyuan Imperial Sword Technique and the Slash Heaven Sword Art.

Duan Fengyun's next stop was the Sword Tomb; as the place where the Xuanyuan Sword was placed in this world, Duan Fengyun definitely needed to go and take a look.

The Sword Tomb was at the former site of the Northern Zhou; because the Sword Tomb had guards, no one dared to go and destroy it.

Before coming to Fumo Mountain, Duan Fengyun had already found a map of the Northern Zhou in the market.

After combining the maps from Yangzhou to Fumo Mountain and from Yangzhou to the Northern Zhou, Duan Fengyun found the location of the Sword Tomb.

This time, Duan Fengyun summoned the Xuanyuan Sword with practiced ease, used the Xuanyuan Imperial Sword Technique again, and began to head toward the Sword Tomb.

This time, Duan Fengyun focused on controlling the Flying Sword, and the Xuanyuan Sword arrived at the Sword Tomb at extreme speed.

The Sword Tomb, which once served as the Forbidden Land for the Northern Zhou Yuwen Imperial Clan, was now covered in weeds, lacking its former splendor.

Although it had lost the Xuanyuan Sword, terrifying Sword Intent still emanated from within the Sword Tomb, making those who wanted to enter shrink back, not daring to walk inside.

Duan Fengyun looked at the two characters for "Sword Tomb" and smiled on his face:

"Sword Tomb, you have kept the Xuanyuan Sword for my master for so many years; have you received a word of praise from my master?

Hahahaha."

Duan Fengyun raised his hand to retrieve the Xuanyuan Sword into his hand, then walked toward the gate of the Sword Tomb.

The gate of the Sword Tomb seemed to have an automatic sensor, opening automatically upon sensing Duan Fengyun.

Duan Fengyun did not care and walked inside with big strides and a smile on his face.

After Duan Fengyun entered the Sword Tomb, the gate of the Sword Tomb slammed shut, and the entire Sword Tomb lit up instantly.

Duan Fengyun walked along the Sword Path, looking at the countless Iron Swords beside him that looked just like the Xuanyuan Sword, while the center of the sword wall directly in front was hollow—that was the place where the Xuanyuan Sword had been stored previously.

Duan Fengyun looked at the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, and a bold idea arose in his heart; he wanted to try and see what would happen if he placed his own Xuanyuan Sword onto this sword wall.

Once this idea sprouted, Duan Fengyun actually could not suppress it.

Holding the attitude of giving it a try, Duan Fengyun sheathed the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand and tried to place it into the sword wall.

The sword wall, which should have been incompatible, exceeded Duan Fengyun's expectations; the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, which had long since changed into the appearance of another sword, was placed perfectly into the sword wall.

This made Duan Fengyun panic; if his Xuanyuan Sword were to be sealed in this sword wall like this, what should he do?

Duan Fengyun reached out, wanting to take the Xuanyuan Sword out, but the Xuanyuan Sword remained motionless inside the sword wall.

Duan Fengyun performed a series of hand seals toward the Xuanyuan Sword, wanting to summon the Xuanyuan Sword out using the Xuanyuan Imperial Sword Technique.

However, no matter how many hand seals of the Xuanyuan Imperial Sword Technique Duan Fengyun used, the Xuanyuan Sword remained completely motionless.

Watching this scene, Duan Fengyun couldn't help but complain:

"Good heavens, are you playing with me!"

Duan Fengyun tried hard to recall in his mind how Yuwen Tuo and Jing Chou had summoned the Xuanyuan Sword in the original drama.

Jing Chou had summoned the Xuanyuan Sword by relying on Sword Fifteen, which was also a part of the Xuanyuan Sword.

As for Yuwen Tuo, because he was of the Northern Zhou Yuwen Imperial Clan, he had obtained the Xuanyuan Sword after being tested by the Sword Tomb Guardian Spirit upon entering the Sword Tomb and passing the test.

Thinking of how Yuwen Tuo had obtained the Xuanyuan Sword, Duan Fengyun suddenly realized something. Duan Fengyun looked around and shouted aloud:

"Sword Tomb Guardian Spirit, come out!"

Seeing there was no movement, just as Duan Fengyun was about to continue shouting, a burst of laughter rang out.

"Little Master, I am here; stop calling."

An old man appeared before Duan Fengyun; the old man himself was like a sharp sword, his Sword Intent overbearing.

Duan Fengyun stared at the old man and said:

"Do you know who I am?"

The old man said to Duan Fengyun respectfully:

"Your servant, Sword Spirit, greets the Little Master.

Little Master, you hold the Xuanyuan Sword and have even used the exclusive Xuanyuan Imperial Sword Technique of Master Xuanyuan Huangdi; besides his mantle-inheriting disciple, I cannot think of anyone else in this world who would know this sword technique."

Duan Fengyun had not expected the Xuanyuan Imperial Sword Technique to be so recognizable; the Sword Tomb Guardian Spirit had known his identity with just a single glance.

Duan Fengyun said:

"Sword Spirit, I ask you, how can I take the Xuanyuan Sword out?

I was just playing around and trying it out, but I didn't expect that once I put it in, I wouldn't be able to take it out."

The Sword Spirit laughed:

"Little Master, I was just playing a joke on you.

As long as you use the Xuanyuan Imperial Sword Technique, the Xuanyuan Sword will return to your hand.

If you don't believe me, try it again!"

After hearing this, Duan Fengyun performed the hand seals again, and this time the Xuanyuan Sword flew obediently into Duan Fengyun's hand.

Seeing Duan Fengyun smiling after regaining the Xuanyuan Sword, the Sword Spirit asked respectfully:

"Little Master, why have you come here?

How has Master been doing lately?"

Duan Fengyun knew that this Sword Spirit must have been left behind by Xuanyuan Huangdi, so he decided not to deceive this Sword Spirit.

"Master sent me to this world for training; he is doing very well and is traveling through the heavens every day."

Upon hearing this, the Sword Spirit smiled and said:

"That is good, that is good."

Duan Fengyun looked at the Sword Spirit, thinking that this Sword Tomb seemed to have existed for over a hundred years, so he asked:

"Sword Spirit, how long have you been here?"

The Sword Spirit said:

"Ever since the previous Earth Emperor completed his mission and returned the Xuanyuan Sword to the Northern Zhou Yuwen Imperial Clan, I was summoned here by Master to guard the Xuanyuan Sword.

Two hundred years have passed since then, and for these two hundred years, I have missed Master every moment."

Hearing the Sword Spirit's words, Duan Fengyun couldn't help but admire the Sword Spirit; just because of a single word from his master, he had come here for two hundred years.

Duan Fengyun said:

"Sword Spirit, you must not speak of my affairs in this world to anyone, especially Yuwen Tuo.

This is a mission from Master to me, and I cannot fail."

The Sword Spirit nodded and replied:

"Little Master, rest assured.

I shall keep my mouth shut and will not mention your affairs to anyone.

Little Master, why has your Xuanyuan Sword become like this?"

Duan Fengyun replied:

"Someone helped me deliberately hide it.

After all, there is also a Xuanyuan Sword in this world; if this Xuanyuan Sword of mine were to appear, it would cause chaos in the world.

Moreover, having the Xuanyuan Sword in my hand would expose my identity, so someone deliberately helped me change the appearance of the Xuanyuan Sword."
