Chapter 1783: Chapter 1777: I Was Born with the Sword Bone

Just as Zhang Menglong had guessed, although other people’s artificial intelligence was not as powerful as Gou Dan’s, there were enough people in the entire Ancient Cave Heaven. Now that everyone had regained their mobility, they naturally began to search for various relics and treasures everywhere.

When Zhang Menglong arrived at the location marked in red, it was already beyond description as crowded; it had even begun to form a densely populated small town!

This town was almost as large as an ordinary city, and at its center, there stood a massive ancient-style construction!

The building’s appearance even resembled classical Huaxia architecture, with red bricks and black tiles, as if returning to a distant era, evoking a sense of familiarity.

[Dean, according to the data in my database, this place is very similar to that super sect known as Sword God Manor]

Gou Dan released a video clip that coincidentally captured the scene when people from those superpowers appeared a while ago and a mirage occurred. The architectural features of this place almost matched Sword God Manor, not exactly the same but almost a carbon copy.

"Lin Yuan mentioned that Ancient Cave Heaven is the origin of those superpowers. It seems this place is likely the predecessor of Sword God Manor," Zhang Menglong immediately sent a message to Long Sen through his equipment; this guy’s dream seemed to be joining Sword God Manor.

Now that he had potentially found the predecessor of Sword God Manor, Zhang Menglong naturally wanted to give him a heads-up.

"Send me the coordinates!"

"I’ll be right there!"

Long Sen only responded with these brief sentences after receiving the message.

After sending the message to Long Sen, Zhang Menglong walked into the town. It was apparent that there should be administrators because not only was there a patrol maintaining order, but there were also people clearing away some Warcraft corpses at the entrance, likely killed after intruding into the town.

There was no entry fee and the like for the town, of course, if one wished to receive certain services in the town, payment was still necessary. The only requirement for people in the town was that everyone must actively come forward to resist during Warcraft invasions or night demon attacks.

Regarding this matter, it was impossible for anyone to refuse, as everyone understood that basic conditions were needed for a gathering place to survive, requiring each person to contribute. If someone was cowardly and acted as a freeloader, the place wouldn’t exist for long.

Business in the town was booming, but aside from basic living commodities, everything seemed to revolve around swords. Some were selling sword techniques, others sword manuals, and many were directly selling swords. It seemed that out of every ten people in the town, at least seven or eight used swords.

Zhang Menglong walked into a simple tavern; having just arrived in this unfamiliar place, his first priority was to gather information.

Ordering a pot of wine and a serving of Warcraft meat, he began to drink alone.

"Brother, I’m here to ask about something!" Zhang Menglong sat at a bar-like area and casually ordered an expensive drink for another martial artist beside him.

"Hahaha, brother, you’re too kind," said the martial artist, adhering to the saying that one should not be hostile to a smiling face, especially one offering alcohol; he seemed not to immediately recognize Zhang Menglong. "I’ve been here for about a month, if you have questions, feel free to ask me."

"About a month?" Zhang Menglong was surprised; his three products hadn’t been on sale for over three days. Could these people have roamed freely a month earlier?

"How did you escape the night demon attacks?"

"Of course, we couldn’t escape," the youth laughed. "It’s just that the proximity to this Sword God Manor relic has some peculiarities. The night demons in this area have been infused with a Sword Qi that we can detect, allowing us to sense their presence at night."

"Oh, so that’s how it is!"

"However, it’s quite troublesome; those night demons are nearly indestructible. Usually, we’d fight them all night until recent improvements with some Krypton Gold."

"What’s going on with the Sword God Manor relic? Can you talk about it?"

"There’s nothing to hide about that," the youth was generous. "In fact, if you ask around or take a stroll in Sword God Manor, you’ll soon get a general understanding of the situation here!"

The youth spoke very seriously, "This Sword God Manor holds the old generations’ Sword God heritage!"

"Oh?" Zhang Menglong’s eyes lit up, "So, has someone obtained it?"

"Hahaha, how could it be so easy?" the youth laughed. "To enter the place, you must defeat Sword God Manor’s gatekeeper Sword Boy!"

"Sword Boy? Is someone still alive?" Zhang Menglong showed a look of disbelief.

"It’s certainly not a living person; for so long, how could there still be living beings in this Ancient Cave Heaven?" the youth replied. "It’s a Sword Spirit of a Divine Weapon. Although people are gone, it exists as a life form in a special way without age limits."

"I see..."

"That Sword Boy has existed since the most prosperous era of the ancient Sword God Manor. Its cultivation in sword dao long reached a realm of perfection; even the current Villa Master of Sword God Manor might not compare to this Sword Spirit, so how could we defeat it!"

"What, have you really challenged it?"

"Actually, people were mostly curious for the experience, but during sparring, using any energy is prohibited, allowing only pure swordsmanship. So far, no one has managed to withstand a single move from Sword Boy, even Lin Jiannan."

"He couldn’t withstand even one move?" Zhang Menglong had heard of this guy named Lin Jiannan before; he ranked top ten in the Heavenly Prides list and was recognized as the strongest sword cultivator among the younger generation.

"After each spar with Sword Boy, it gives us an evaluation, almost everyone’s evaluation is ’tarnished the sword,’ except Lin Jiannan’s was slightly better – it became ’unbearable to witness.’"

"Hahaha, Sword Boy’s tone is really arrogant," Zhang Menglong couldn’t help but laugh, "Isn’t there another way to get in? The Sword God Manor is so big; surely there’s a place to sneak in or climb over the walls?"

"Some did think of that," the youth said. "But those who dared now have grass growing over their graves."

The youth pointed toward the distant Sword God Manor relic, "Do you see those streams of white air?"

Zhang Menglong squinted to look; the entire manor was almost shrouded in mist. "Is the mist poisonous?"

"That’s not mist! " the youth said, "That stuff is Sword Qi, and it’s flowing everywhere in the mountains. Those entering would be sliced to pieces by the Sword Qi. Remember, completely sliced!"

"Brother, do you think I can beat that Sword Boy?" Zhang Menglong stood up.

"You?" The youth looked Zhang Menglong up and down, then shook his head. "No offense, brother, but you don’t have a trace of Sword Cultivator in you; you wouldn’t even receive the ’unfit to wield a sword’ evaluation!"

Zhang Menglong chuckled lightly, "No, no, I’ve already reached the realm of humans and swords as one. A true sword is in one’s bones! You might not believe it, but I’m naturally born with a Sword Bone!"
