NOVEL WEB Chapter 840 Spirit Sword Cave
However, Lin Yi didn't pay much attention to it. Wasn't it just taking an oath? What binding power could it have? Besides, he wasn't the type of person who would betray his own Daoist sect, so how could he possibly commit betrayal?
What a joke?
However, after Lin Yi finished taking his oath, the inscriptions on the stone tablet emitted a shocking radiance. Then, while Lin Yi was not paying attention, Jian Youzi cut a small wound on his hand, allowing a drop of essence blood to fall onto the stone tablet.
"What are you doing?!"
Lin Yi looked at Jian Youzi in astonishment, a sense of foreboding washing over him.
"This is an ancient ritual text, containing a curse. Once the oath is taken, it cannot be broken; otherwise, the curse will backfire!"
Jian Youzi grinned.
Lin Yi's expression drastically changed, "You set me up?"
"How could this be called a setup?"
Jian Youzi remained calm, "Could it be that you have thoughts of betraying your sect?"
Lin Yi found himself speechless, but with his keen intuition, he sensed that something was not quite right, though he couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was.
"Since the apprenticeship is over, can you take me to the Forbidden Land of Wanling Academy now?"
Although Lin Yi felt a bit upset, he held it in for the sake of the great opportunity within the Forbidden Land.
"No need to mention Wanling Academy, from now on recognize yourself as a Spirit Sword Cave disciple!"
Jian Youzi waved his hand and smiled.
"Isn't it all the same?"
Lin Yi was puzzled.
"It's not the same!"
Jian Youzi solemnly shook his head, "Spirit Sword Cave is Spirit Sword Cave, how could it be compared to Wanling Academy? There are countless students at Wanling Academy, but how many disciples does Spirit Sword Cave have?"
"Spirit Sword Cave is the sect you belong to!" This is a sample from My Virtual Library Empire. Read the rest on M-VLEMPYR.
Lin Yi found it somewhat strange. Why did Jian Youzi insist on distinguishing between Spirit Sword Cave and Wanling Academy so strictly? Was it really necessary to emphasize it so much?
It actually gave off a sense of having a guilty conscience!
However, Lin Yi prioritized the bigger picture. His mind was only focused on the Forbidden Land, "Got it, quickly take me there!"
"Why the rush? Impatience won't let you eat hot tofu!"
Jian Youzi looked at Lin Yi with an expression of disdain before lightly waving his palm, saying, "Let's go!"
"Seeing how eager you are, I'll take you to witness the Forbidden Land of our Spirit Sword Cave!"
With that, he waved his large hand, a torrent of Holy Power surged forth, enveloping Lin Yi and whisking him away!
The figures of the two vanished from the space where they stood.
...
Lin Yi, taken by Jian Youzi, traveled across unknown distances before finally arriving at an ancient land.
In his sight, there was a towering mountain peak, with the whole mountain body constructed entirely from swords, a veritable "Sword Mountain" indeed!
Though most of these swords had lost their spirituality and were severely damaged, a few Broken Swords still emitted remnants of Holy Power. This accumulated Holy Power enveloped the entire Sword Mountain with a vast oppressive force.
"Is this the Forbidden Land of Spirit Sword Cave?"
"Truly extraordinary!"
Witnessing this majestic Sword Mountain, Lin Yi's face suddenly revealed a hint of excitement.
This Sword Mountain emanated a boundless momentum, and the Sword Dao Law contained within was of great use to him. It could be absorbed by his Chaos Sword Body, enhancing himself!
At least for a Sword Cultivator like him, this was a good place!
Jian Youzi, indeed, understood him!
"Shh!"
Just as Lin Yi was overwhelmed with joy, Jian Youzi signaled for silence, urging Lin Yi not to make loud noises.
"This is not the Forbidden Land of Spirit Sword Cave? Why creeping around like a thief?"
Seeing Jian Youzi's cautious behavior, fearing any commotion, Lin Yi furrowed his brows.
"Foolish!"
Jian Youzi reprimanded Lin Yi, "This Forbidden Land is unique to Spirit Sword Cave, and if it's seen by Wanling Academy students, how bad would the impact be?"
"They would think they're being treated unfairly, which would certainly cause a huge stir and bring considerable trouble."
"What you say makes some sense."
Lin Yi nodded, as long as he could enter, he didn't want any complications.
However, what Jian Youzi did next was beyond his expectations. Jian Youzi continuously formed hand signs, attempting to open the Sword Mountain's Prohibition but repeatedly failed, making the atmosphere rather awkward.
"No way?"
"You don't know the method to open the Prohibition?"
Lin Yi's eyes widened. Initially, he thought Jian Youzi looked like an immortal, with profound Sword Dao, and believed the latter to be a significant figure in the Wanling Realm, undoubtedly an ancient of Wanling Academy. But now, he suddenly realized that the person's image didn't quite match his imagination.
"How is that possible?"
Jian Youzi immediately sneered at Lin Yi's doubt, "It's just that there are too many Forbidden Lands in our Spirit Sword Cave; even I get a bit confused."
But this time, Lin Yi was not so easily deceived. He had begun to feel that Jian Youzi was unreliable; perhaps not many truths came from his mouth. He might need to reassess his Master's perceived image.
As if sensing Lin Yi's scrutinizing gaze, Jian Youzi's expression became serious. Finally, he cast a rune upon the Prohibition!
This time, Jian Youzi didn't fail. He successfully activated the Prohibition, revealing a portal.
"Let's go!"
Lin Yi's eyes suddenly brightened, and he followed Jian Youzi's steps, entering the Sword Mountain!
The Sword Mountain was filled with an extremely sharp aura, where powerful Sword Dao Laws floated everywhere, like streams of light passing through the void, elusive.
Lin Yi glanced around briefly, and his eyes suddenly revealed intense joy.
This was truly an excellent cultivation Sacred Land, almost tailored for him!
Unexpectedly, Spirit Sword Cave possessed such a Forbidden Land, proving he made the right choice. Although there were many inadequacies in Spirit Sword Cave, it was indeed a very fitting place for him.
However, these Sword Dao Laws were extremely nourishing supplements for Lin Yi. His Chaos Sword Body loved nothing more than Sword Dao Laws!
Lin Yi immediately sat cross-legged, activating the Chaos Sword Body. His meat body seemed to transform into a bottomless vortex, drawing those streams of light-like Sword Dao Laws into himself!
Nonetheless, Lin Yi was not satisfied. Then, with a thunderous shout, his body released a strong devouring wave, causing the entire Sword Mountain to tremble!
Seeing Lin Yi cause such a tremendous commotion, Jian Youzi nodded in satisfaction, a smile of gratification appearing on his face.
However, the disturbance within Sword Mountain was too strong, its reverberations reached dozens of miles. He could only quickly step in, his body like a stabilizer, releasing an extremely vast momentum, calming the entire Sword Mountain!
