Chapter 1751: Chapter 1743: Sword Talisman

The stone platform is covered with ancient marks, mottled and worn.

On it, faintly, mysterious symbols and patterns appear.

They are carved into the surface.

The most noticeable among them are sword talismans.

Swords about the size of a few fingers, with sword tassels, emanating a sharp aura!

These sword talismans cover the stone platform!

Soon.

Lin Tian also noticed at the top of this stone platform, there is a broken sword!

The sword is already rusted.

On the stone platform, it’s embedded diagonally, but only halfway, precariously inserted into the platform.

"Is it the sword platform?"

Lin Tian glanced at the evil like Xiaotian on his wrist, looking surprised.

At this moment.

The evil like Xiaotian did not hum softly as before.

Lin Tian’s Divine Sense swept over, but could not penetrate inside this sword platform.

What is inside?

He wondered silently.

Thinking about it, he stepped forward and grasped the broken sword embedded in the sword platform.

With a little force, he still couldn’t pull it out.

"This broken sword, though only slightly embedded, is unexpectedly firm!"

Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, quite surprised.

In the next moment.

He wrapped True Qi around his hand, pulling upward forcefully.

Crack~

The broken sword split directly at the fracture.

And on the sword platform, a crack appeared.

Whoosh~

Caught off guard, the evil like Xiaotian darted out, flying toward the sword platform.

Then.

It hovered above the sword platform, spinning rapidly.

With a crash,

the whole sword platform shattered into pieces.

Afterward, Lin Tian saw inside the sword platform, a sword talisman!

A very small sword talisman!

Only about the size of a finger.

However.

The moment this sword talisman appeared, Lin Tian felt an intense Sword Intent coming at him, a deadly danger that made him involuntarily take a few steps back.

However.

This Sword Intent only formed a massive suppression, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Following that, the situation on the sword platform made Lin Tian widen his eyes.

The sword talisman cracked with a snap, transforming into a gray mist, directly absorbed by the evil like Xiaotian.

Buzz~

The evil like Xiaotian emitted a soft hum, the sound carrying delight, as if it was thoroughly enjoying itself.

"Is this... the absorption of Sword Intent’s power?"

Lin Tian looked in shock at the situation on the sword platform, exclaiming, "What kind of place was this originally? This Sword Intent shouldn’t harm Wu Yan’s Divine Soul, right?"

He became a bit anxious at this moment.

Fortunately, after just a while, the evil like Xiaotian flew back.

The sword platform had become a ruin.

Holding the evil like Xiaotian in his hand, Lin Tian inserted his Divine Sense into it, seeing Wu Yan’s Divine Soul quietly curled up, its breath very steady, he was instantly relieved.

But soon.

He discovered something unusual about the current flying sword—

First, it’s the Sword Spirit, yes, the Sword Spirit! The evil like Xiaotian had begun to develop a trace of a Sword Spirit, just a rudiment, slightly more spiritual, but that was enough! Originally, the evil like Xiaotian already had some spirituality; now, having absorbed this Sword Intent, it laid a foundation for nurturing a Sword Spirit in the future!

Secondly, within the flying sword, traces of Sword Intent entwined, obscure and mixed, Lin Tian couldn’t determine what kind of Sword Intent it was, but this Sword Intent was undoubtedly extremely valuable, if comprehended, it would definitely elevate his strength.

Finally, the flying sword developed a sense, specifically the Sword Intent within. It revealed several directions of sensing. There were other sword talismans present! However, most were very faint, as if right before his eyes yet miles away. But one direction was incredibly strong!

With the flying sword in hand, Lin Tian dashed out of the cave.

His Divine Sense spread out, covering the Sword Immortal Valley, where many people were still hunting for treasures. The valley contained numerous dilapidated ruins and ancient cities, along with various caves.

However, Biaan Sitong and He Man had already left.

Lin Tian’s Divine Sense scanned the gorge, finding mostly ancient treasures.

There were also some Magic Artifacts and other items, quite precious.

But for Lin Tian, he couldn’t be bothered to pick them up!

With the evil like Xiaotian in hand, Lin Tian sensed an incredibly strong fluctuation, located to the northeast.

"It seems every sword talisman contains just a tiny bit of Sword Intent! Even if it’s only a trace, a ten-thousandth of it, it’s enough to make the flying sword stronger and further develop the Sword Spirit!"

Lin Tian’s eyes gleamed, sensing the direction of the fluctuation, he soared through the air, quickly leaving the Sword Immortal Valley.

Ten minutes later.

In front of him, mountain ranges stretched to the horizon, under the midnight sky, resembling a giant beast crouching.

Within those mountains.

Dense forests spread, with various terrifying beast roars resounding repeatedly.

And Lin Tian felt the fluctuation from the flying sword, originating from within the mountains ahead.

"Shouldn’t be far now!"

Lin Tian murmured softly to himself, flying low and moving forward.

Soon, he landed, arriving at the entrance of a small canyon.

His Divine Sense spread over, Lin Tian examined everything about this place.

It’s a canyon with only one entrance, about the size of two or three basketball courts, very small.

However.

Inside, it was neatly arranged, with some skeletons of fierce beasts along the edges, and a strong bloody smell lingering.

What kind of beast’s lair is this?

Lin Tian was slightly surprised but didn’t mind at all, stepping inside with excitement on his face.

Because he had already seen the sword platform at the very end of the canyon.

Unlike the one he had seen in the Sword Immortal Valley.

Here, there was no broken sword, just a piece of jade placed there.

However.

No one knows how many years of erosion it had endured, the jade was covered with countless dust, making it unrecognizable.

This time.

Lin Tian did not hesitate, stepping forward, slashing with his sword.

Crack~

The dust on the jade shattered, revealing its crystalline white surface, but at this moment, the jade was also shattered.

Swoosh~

Sure enough.

As before, the evil like Xiaotian shot out, the sword platform shattered, and terrifying Sword Intent surged.

Lin Tian was prepared, stepping back a distance, watching the sword talisman fly out from the sword platform, absorbed by the evil like Xiaotian.

"Tsk tsk... Who are those people, crafting their Sword Intent into sword talismans, burying them in such remote valleys! However, to be able to condense Sword Intent, their strength is undoubtedly strong! Under normal circumstances, other flying swords would find it difficult to sense these sword talismans. Unfortunately, my flying sword is the evil like Xiaotian! But it doesn’t matter, now that it’s absorbed, it’s mine now!"

Seeing the sword talisman turn into ashes and enter the evil like Xiaotian, Lin Tian was very excited, nodding satisfied: "Other Sword Intents are hard to sense now, probably not nearby, I’ll search for them later when I have the chance! Once it’s almost dawn, I’ll take the carriage to Mizhou City!"

Having made up his mind, Lin Tian sat cross-legged in the canyon, preparing to rest his eyes, also taking the opportunity to familiarize himself with the Sword Intent within the flying sword.

However.

Just as he sat down, sounds came from outside, along with terrifying aura and the stench of blood, carrying a bloodthirsty intent.

"A third-level Black Bamboo Python! It’s not just an ordinary beast; it’s a demon beast! Even typical Foundation Establishment cultivators might not be its match!"

Lin Tian’s Divine Sense scanned outside the canyon, seeing the creature, a giant python.

The canyon before him was likely this creature’s lair.

He didn’t hesitate, lifting his hand, the flying sword darted out, and with a thud, the giant python didn’t even have time to scream before it died silently.

To avoid the bloody smell attracting other beasts, Lin Tian cast the Samadhi True Fire, burning from inside to outside the lair.

The stench of blood and foul smell instantly disappeared!

Originally planning to meditate here peacefully for the night, setting off at dawn.

But after just an hour, there were movements outside again, with the sound of two hurried and frantic footsteps.
