Chapter 1773: Chapter 1774: The Final Gift! (Part 2)

"No need to be so serious." The Great Wilderness Sword Saint grinned, "You ultimately chose to create your own Sword Dao; my Great Wilderness Sword Dao cannot be inherited by you, which is truly a great regret. If possible, please find a suitable successor for me! I trust your judgment!"

"Alright, I will definitely find the most suitable successor for you, big brother!" Ling Feng stared deeply at the Great Wilderness Sword Saint, solemnly replying.

"That’s good."

The Great Wilderness Sword Saint laughed heartily, "Then, let me give you one last great gift!"

Ling Feng shook his head, saying lightly, "Big brother, you have already given me enough!"

"Hehe, you must accept this gift!" The Great Wilderness Sword Saint fixed his gaze on Ling Feng and said word by word: "You should have mastered the ’Heavenly Seizing Sword Technique’ by now?"

"This..." Ling Feng’s eyelids twitched as he immediately understood the intention of the Great Wilderness Sword Saint. Hastily shaking his head, "No, big brother, I will absolutely not accept this gift!"

The Great Wilderness Sword Saint clearly wanted him to use the Heavenly Seizing Sword Technique to absorb all his remaining Sword Dao cultivation.

"My Divine Soul Mark is about to dissipate. Even if you don’t absorb my Sword Dao cultivation, I can no longer exist in the state of a Divine Soul Dharma Form."

The Great Wilderness Sword Saint lightly patted Ling Feng’s shoulder, laughing freely, "Although I’m just a Divine Soul Dharma Form, I still wish to die with some value. You will ultimately reach the Martial Arts Peak, and if I can become part of your strength, it counts as accompanying you in reaching the peak! Just consider it fulfilling one of my wishes, big brother!"

"I..."

Ling Feng clenched his fist tightly, gazing deeply at the Great Wilderness Sword Saint, finally nodding heavily.

"Thank you, big brother! I will reach the Martial Arts Peak with your strength!"

The Great Wilderness Sword Saint nodded with a smile, "Ling Feng, my little brother, I’m looking forward to that day!"

...

At this moment, outside the valley of the Great Wilderness Ruins, the gathering crowd was not decreasing but increasing.

The time for the Sunset Ancient City to close was drawing near, and the people outside the valley were becoming more anxious.

"It’s been three days! In half a day, the Sunset Ancient City will close, and that kid still hasn’t come out?"

"The Sword Saint’s inheritance is not so easily obtained. Perhaps that kid has died inside, we never know."

"Let’s wait and see! Anyway, there’s not much time left. Even if we leave here, we won’t find any other opportunities."

"Yes, that’s right! Half a day—if he doesn’t come out, he’ll never get out again! But if we wait for him and snatch the Sword Saint inheritance from him, we’ll strike it rich!"

"Agreed!"

Most Martial Artists surrounding the area naturally had the intention to fish in troubled waters.

With only half a day left until the Sunset Ancient City closes, if lucky enough to snatch the inheritance and then be transported out, as long as one escapes back to the sect elders, they’re completely safe.

However, Xiao Juanyun, Luo Hanzhou, and the Martial Artists of the Eastern Spirit Domain, upon seeing the situation, couldn’t help but sweat for Ling Feng.

Who could withstand this?

In three days, although Xiao Juanyun and Luo Hanzhou had recovered quite a bit, trying to fend off the hundreds encircling the valley was basically akin to ants shaking a tree.

...

"Big brother, please accept my final bow."

On the Ascending Dragon Platform, Ling Feng stood before the golden statue, kneeling with one knee for a full fifteen minutes before slowly standing.

The Great Wilderness Sword Saint...

In this world, the Great Wilderness Sword Saint no longer exists.

The last trace of his strength had transformed into Ling Feng’s Sword Dao enlightenment.

With Ling Feng’s strength, without the Great Wilderness Sword Saint’s permission, it would be impossible to absorb the saint’s strength. Yet, the Great Wilderness Sword Saint chose to use this method to let his life shine one last splendid moment.

"I will make good use of your strength. Although you are no longer here, you will always fight alongside me in another form!"

Bowing once more towards the already dim statue, Ling Feng utilized his movement technique, swiftly departing the ruins.

...

Outside the Great Wilderness Ruins, the light screen sealing the area suddenly rippled like water, followed by a figure flying out of the ruins.

"Someone appeared!"

Immediately, the Martial Artist responsible for monitoring shouted loudly.

"Someone’s out! Ling Feng is out!"

"There’s movement! There’s movement!"

...

In an instant, the area surrounding the valley seemed to explode, followed by the "whoosh! whoosh! whoosh!" sound of wind-breaking, as figures from all directions swiftly flew in and formed an encirclement around the newly appeared figure.

"Humph, been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Haha, finally out, not wasted all this time waiting!"

"Kid, quickly hand over the Sword Saint inheritance, and I might consider sparing your life!"

"Don’t bother saying you didn’t get the inheritance; no one will believe you."

"..."

Various calls for capture arose, all targeting Ling Feng.

Even Ling Feng, seeing these aggressive faces before him, couldn’t help but feel a headache.

Originally thinking these guys would disperse, unexpectedly, they’re truly persistent!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Two more figures flew over, one on each side—it was Xiao Juanyun and Luo Hanzhou.

"Brother Ling!"

Xiao Juanyun glanced at Ling Feng, then immediately stood by Ling Feng’s side, "I will fight alongside you!"

Although Luo Hanzhou didn’t speak, he also proved his stance through his actions. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Ling Feng felt slightly moved in his heart, unexpectedly making friends across the outer domain during this journey.

Under such circumstances, standing together with him, only such friends could be considered true comrades.

"Junior Brother Ling!"

On another side, within the camp of the Eastern Spirit Domain Martial Artists, Yue HuaQin rushed over first, followed by Ao Jue, Shi Haoxuan, Murong Bai, and others, gritting their teeth and also rushing to Ling Feng’s side.

Although they didn’t have much strength, they made their choice.

Ling Feng helped them so much, if they choose to abandon him at this moment, what would they be but animals?

"Humph, a mob!"

Those Martial Artists surrounding Ling Feng didn’t mind a few more people dying and did not stop those rushing into self-imposed traps.

"Xiao Juanyun, you’re a disciple of the Du Yue Heaven Palace, why meddle with this Eastern Spirit Domain native? Step aside, this has nothing to do with you!"

A Swordman in a golden robe coldly glanced at Xiao Juanyun.

Du Yue Heaven Palace was well-known, and the Swordmen of the West Sword Domain more or less had some dread of this identity.

"Ling Feng is my friend, Xiao Juanyun. Everyone, please give my Xiao Family a face; don’t be an enemy to Ling Feng today, and consider my Xiao Family indebted to you!"
