Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 365 - 361: The Powerful and Mysterious Sword Spirit

Chapter 365: Chapter 361: The Powerful and Mysterious Sword Spirit

Fortunately, Xia Feng was well-prepared. The dense Life Qi around him surged, directly resisting the divine power that emerged from within, along with the transparent Sword Qi that couldn’t break through this layer of defense.

A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Xia Feng’s lips. In the past, he was always the one using this trick to trap others; when was it ever the turn of a little Secret Treasure to ambush him?

The collapsed cave was filled with dust stirred up by the impact of divine power, and Xia Tianming, holding the Void Cauldron, locked down the space.

Neither of them moved; they both waited cautiously until the shocks inside subsided before descending into the cave to investigate.

As soon as they entered, both of their expressions changed slightly.

The cave was filled with densely packed, almost transparent, white Divine Crystals forming into sword shapes, but the Secret Treasure they had been anticipating was nowhere to be seen.

Xia Tianming spoke hastily, "Impossible, I’ve completely sealed off this space. Even if a Celestial Tier Martial God were to break through from this space, I would sense it. There’s no reason for a mere Secret Treasure to be missing without a trace."

Xia Feng’s eyes scanned the surroundings, half-squinting as he said softly, "No hurry, let’s keep looking. It’s definitely still here."

"This is a sword-type Secret Treasure, with quite a bit of Spiritual nature. We just have to be patient."

Although he said to be patient, his hand drew the Heaven-Burying Sword, not looking patient at all, as he horizontally swept down several Divine Crystals and collected the sword-shaped Divine Crystals.

These Divine Crystals faintly contained elements of the Great Dao of Celestial Sword, though not very useful for Xia Feng, they were still rare treasures.

Unsure if they could be taken into the Dream Realm Pearl, but if they could, it would be nice for the women to ponder over them a bit.

As Xia Feng swept the surrounding Divine Crystals, his gaze subtly looked towards a corner where there was a fluctuation.

This thing indeed had some wit, and its trait seemed to be hiding. If it weren’t for the momentary ripple when Xia Feng drew the Heaven-Burying Sword, he probably wouldn’t have noticed it initially.

But that was all there was to it.

Xia Tianming anxiously glanced around, "The Secret Treasure didn’t actually run off, did it?"

He looked at Xia Feng, who was still leisurely sweeping the surrounding Divine Crystals, furrowed his brow, and said, "Leave these tiny profits alone for now, let’s go out and search for the Secret Treasure first?"

Xia Feng chuckled softly, continuing his actions without pause, "There’s no need to worry, Grandpa. This is a Secret Treasure related to a long sword. As long as the Heaven-Burying Sword is in my hand, without finding a better master, it’ll come back sooner or later."

Xia Tianming frowned slightly, seemingly not understanding why the usually calm and composed Xia Feng was acting somewhat unusual today.

Suddenly, a slight fluctuation came from the corner, and a voice, like a childish mutter, said, "Arrogant fool."

Xia Tianming was startled and instinctively looked over.

On the contrary, Xia Feng, who had anticipated this, took two steps forward and focused on the sword-shaped Divine Crystals in the corner.

"Will you come out on your own, or shall I invite you out?"

As he spoke, the Heaven-Burying Sword in his hand emitted a clear sword hum, and sharp cold light gleamed against the Divine Crystals.

Xia Tianming didn’t notice at first that there were noticeably more Divine Crystals in this area compared to nearby.

Squinting his eyes, Xia Tianming looked at this cluster of Divine Crystals, "It’s definitely hiding inside here. Slash them, destroy all these Divine Crystals, and we will surely find it."

After Xia Tianming finished speaking, the Heaven-Burying Sword in Xia Feng’s hand deliberately gestured near the Divine Crystals, as if it was about to sweep them away in the next moment.

"No, no, no, why are the two of you so rough!"

The childish voice, sounding slightly angry, came from within the Divine Crystal. Xia Feng squinted his eyes, unwilling to push it too tight, but its refusal to reveal itself was beginning to annoy Xia Feng.

"Tsk, how should humans treat a Secret Treasure? It’s just for use after all."

The childish voice said, "Don’t compare me to those Secret Treasures. I’m a Sword Spirit, do you know what a Sword Spirit is?"

Xia Feng laughed lightly, "Your attitude is inviting a beating, reveal yourself first."

The Sword Spirit’s voice became somewhat smug, "I’ve been in front of you this whole time."

Xia Feng’s eyebrow raised slightly, focusing on inspecting the Divine Crystals before him. Honestly, he couldn’t see what would be a Sword Spirit.

After quite some time, Xia Feng looked a bit puzzled at a Sword Qi attached to the Divine Crystal, "This is the Sword Spirit?"

Perhaps his tone sounded a bit incredulous, though it was not shock and curiosity, rather more like skepticism that this could actually be the Sword Spirit.

This angered the Sword Spirit, causing it to reveal its true form, a strange long transparent Sword Qi with a pair of hands.

"What’s wrong, huh?"

"Do I look weird like this?"

"Every Sword Spirit is unique with its own particular shape. I just like looking like this!"

Although it said this, the childish voice carried a hint of exasperated annoyance, clearly, if given a choice, it wouldn’t choose to have such a form.

Xia Feng clicked his tongue lightly, not dwelling further on this matter, gesturing slightly with the Heaven-Burying Sword in his hand.

"Secret Treasures can’t leave the Secret Realm, and you have just this one opportunity in ten thousand years to touch the outside world."

"I don’t quite understand, among the Trial Takers here, shouldn’t there be no better Divine Artifact than the Heaven-Burying Sword."

"Why did you want to hide upon seeing us?"

The Sword Spirit’s body trembled slightly, muttering softly, "Fickle, arrogant fool, who wants to follow you."

Xia Feng looked at it puzzled, "What did you say?"

The Sword Spirit’s expression carried a hint of grievance, showing a resistive look. Indeed, although the Heaven-Burying Sword was a rare Ancient Divine Artifact, and the most suitable long sword for it, Xia Feng’s body had too many Daos stuffed into it.

Even if it was undemanding, it still found Xia Feng a bit too greedy.

Primarily because these are usually considered for Multi Dao Cultivation at higher levels, but Xia Feng directly practiced Ten Dao Main Cultivations.

If it truly followed Xia Feng, it would easily be neglected.

Being a rarely aware Sword Spirit, falling into Xia Feng’s hands would be quite disgraceful if ignored.

The Sword Spirit’s thoughts whirled rapidly in its mind, while beside it, Xia Feng squinted, observing its appearance of both nervousness and unavoidable curiosity, can’t help but let out a light snort.

But just as he was about to say something to the Sword Spirit, a voice suddenly resonated, growing from near to far.

"This Divine Vein was first seen by our Dongfang Clan and should belong to the Dongfang Clan."
