Remould the Glory of Sword Art

Perhaps the treasures within this grand hall do not appeal to the Bai Ze Great Saint.

Therefore, the restrictions in this hall are not particularly strong.

With two formidable beings above the Fifteenth Realm of Yin God working together, there is absolutely a chance to break through and escape.

"Brother Qian..."

Qin Qianlian did not respond but focused intently on the heavenly peak. Even after the torrential blood rain dispersed, his gaze remained locked on the uppermost part of the hall.

Qin Qianlian stared at that solar figure and spoke softly.

"Don't you think there's something wrong with this 'sun'?"

...

...

"There's something wrong with this 'sun'."

Xie Xuanyi stood amidst the gaps in the torrent.

He looked up at the two characters "Bai Ze," suspended like a great sun, feeling a strange premonition rising within him.

A suspicion without reason.

He vaguely felt that these characters "Bai Ze," hanging over the Secret Tomb, seemed like some deliberate offering, with a faint glow falling upon him, causing a slight discomfort in his Heart Lake. But this feeling quickly dissipated by itself.

Xie Xuanyi shook his head, suppressing the thought, and stepped into the giant gate.

"A grand formation has been activated."

At the moment of entry.

The Divine Thought cast around swiftly "scattered"... although the abyss lake ahead had not changed, Xie Xuanyi knew that the space he was in was being "cut" by the formation. If the Great Chu Treasure Ship truly entered this giant gate together, there was a very high probability of them getting dispersed in the process, a sensation with which Xie Xuanyi was not unfamiliar; the "Thirty-three Cave Heavens" behind Yuping Peak at Da Sui Sword Palace were similarly isolated by such formations.

He walked across the lake water, heading towards the dark end.

The Annihilation Dao Realm solidified into ice behind him, forming a narrow dark path.

The Bai Ze Secret Tomb devoured primordial energy.

If this were in the first life, Xie Xuanyi would be exceedingly cautious while entering here.

But in this lifetime.

The Earth Abyss of the Bai Ze Secret Tomb seemed born for him; the Undying Spring constantly generates primordial energy, which in itself might be nothing more than free roaming, unafraid of the "energy siphon" of the Earth Abyss... but the "Undying Spring" he carried was extraordinarily special.

Though scarce compared to Lu Yuzhen's, Xie Xuanyi's Undying Spring is a regenerating "spring eye."

Whenever the moisture level decreases to a certain point...

The spring eye hastens the generation of moisture.

Thus, the "siphon" in the Secret Tomb instead benefits him, Xie Xuanyi walked on the dark lake surface with a strange demeanor, feeling the siphon of the "Earth Abyss," as the Undying Spring eye grew through consumption; a truly absurd situation, albeit slowly, it was undeniably a breakthrough of sorts.

The world is full of absurdities.

Having diligently sought the path to cultivating with the Undying Spring, little did he expect to find nearly perfect answers here.

Fewer Undying Springs mean more Undying Springs?

"Ha."

Tides began rising, and Xie Xuanyi ignited a Sword Qi Lantern, hanging it before him.

He frowned.

It seemed like the shore, the great lake had reached its end, and he vaguely saw the outline of a treasure ship docked at the bank... Xie Xuanyi quickened his steps, and what followed chilled his Heart Lake.

The Earth Abyss Lake was divided into countless independent areas by the Secret Tomb Array.

He didn't know which piece this was...

But the treasure ship docked at the shore, Xie Xuanyi recognized; it was the "Bingyou," under the command of Qin Baihuang at Xuanzhui Mountain, responsible for treating the wounded. Before approaching the ship, he already detected the thick bloody aura, and Xie Xuanyi boarded with a gloomy demeanor, finding the mast broken and the surface strewn with corpses, with a lingering faint stench in the air.

This was a scent Xie Xuanyi would never forget all his life.

He was late.

After Da Chu Practitioners entered the Secret Realm, followed by Three Great Sect Evil Cultivators... Yin Mountain Evil Cultivators and Bingyou entered the same segment of the lake, docking together.

What happened afterward...

Was no mystery.

However, it seemed these Yin Mountain Evil Cultivators hadn't refined the life souls, presumably coveting the creations within Bai Ze's Secret Tomb; having pierced through Bingyou and slaughtered everyone, they hurriedly departed.

Xie Xuanyi silently released his Divine Thought.

He held no hope.

Yet unexpectedly, at the base of the broken mast, was a disciple of Longevity House with a faint trace of life energy remaining.

This disciple's heart was pierced, there was no saving him...

Under normal circumstances.

He would be refined into the soul banner.

But those evil cultivators hurried off to the tomb for treasure and wasted no time here.

Xie Xuanyi quickly crouched, cutting open the mast with Sword Qi.

He extended his hands to help the disciple with scant life energy turn, but at that instant, their eyes met.

"Xie Zhen..."

The trembling disciple of Longevity House looked at Xie Xuanyi's face, showing a disbelieving look.

He then uttered a grievous tremor.

"You villain!"

"...?"

Xie Xuanyi was taken aback.

In the next instant, flames surged, and this disciple with only a breath left decisively ignited his Divine Soul, choosing self-destruction to end his life.

Boom!

A disciple in the Qi-controlling Realm.

Even if he had full life energy, a self-destruct wouldn't harm Xie Xuanyi a bit.

This brilliant firework swiftly burned out on the great ship.

The spontaneously emerging "Martial Arts Divine Embryo" blocked all the flames of self-destruction.

The great ship was ignited.

A sea of fire surged, resembling a sun in the pitch-black abyss lake.

...

Xie Xuanyi slowly rose, thoughtfully gazing at the ashes of the corpse in his arms.
