513 Inheritance From Time (2)

Every one of them had their own stories.

Looking at those tablets and swords, Xu Qing’s mind shook. He felt a spiritual impact spreading out from the hall and gushing into his mind.

Vaguely, he seemed to hear the shouts of countless Sword Holders before they died and saw countless white-clothed figures.

They had the human race behind them, so they would rather die in battle than take even a step back.

The shock became even more intense.

They laughed as they threw themselves to their deaths. They roared as they killed the enemies. Before they died, they shouted their oaths with no regrets.

“I’m willing to become a Sword Holder. I’m loyal to my duty and not afraid of sacrifice.”

“I’m willing to become a Sword Holder. I will never betray the human race. I’m always prepared to fight.”

“I’m willing to become a Sword Holder. I will fight for the human race and protect it.”

“I’m willing to become a Sword Holder. I will slash all dangers and bring light to the world.”

More and more of them gradually gathered together. It was like the sound of heaven and earth, echoing through the world. At the same time, it instinctively came from the mouths of every Sword Holder here.

Gradually, everyone’s voices fused with the words spoken by those figures, as though they had become one.

That heroic aspiration that came from the incomplete heroism seemed to have been passed down at this moment through time and space.

This was the oath of all new Sword Holders.

Xu Qing didn’t know how he left the Sword Holding Palace. Even when he was walking on the streets, the scenes from the Oath Hall still replayed in his mind.

All of this was completely different from when he was in the sect.

Xu Qing wasn’t the only one. The captain was the same. All the Sword Holders were the same. Even someone like Zhang Siyun had a dazed expression.

It was only when he returned to the courtyard of the branch sect and his residence that Xu Qing regained his senses.

He lifted his head and looked at the night sky outside in the direction of the Sword Holding Palace. He couldn’t help but take a deep breath. He knew why he was like this. It was because the Oath Hall contained astonishing soul fluctuations.

There were too many heroic souls there. They didn’t have any malice toward the new Sword Holders at all. They only expressed their regrets and ambitions that they hadn’t fulfilled.

Through this method, they told the new Sword Holders…

What was a Sword Holder!

Xu Qing’s heart stirred. In reality, on the trip here, he had already sensed from Chen Tinghao’s behaviors that the Sword Holders were very different from the sect cultivators.

He fell silent.

He wouldn’t feel a sense of belonging toward any faction, regardless of whether it was the sect or the Sword Holding Palace. Regardless of what he saw or felt, it was impossible for him to lose his vigilance.

He wanted to observe more.

After a long time, Xu Qing took a deep breath and composed himself. He then took out his Sword Holder command sword.

After today’s report and oath, this command sword became a little different.

Many of its functions had been activated. As his divine sense fused into it, information about military contribution exchange appeared in his mind.

Military contribution was extremely important to the Sword Holder because any item could be exchanged for military contributions. In this information, Xu Qing even saw life lanterns and the inheritance of emperor-level cultivation arts.

However, the amount of military contributions needed was extremely great. Some even required battle merits.

Military contributions and battle merits were different.

The former could be gained through the various missions issued by the Sword Holding Palace and accumulated through one’s posts. As for the latter… it was obtained through issuance and was divided into five levels.

Among them, grade one battle merits were the rarest and so on.

Xu Qing swept his divine sense over and finally looked at the information about exchanging for the inheritance. He found Mount Morning Glow inside.

“3,000,000 military contributions and grade three battle merits can be exchanged for one time comprehension in Mount Morning Glow.”

Looking at these, determination appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes.

“I have to think of a way to obtain military contributions!”

The captain was also doing the same. At that moment, in his residence, the captain rubbed his forehead while sensing the exchange information in his command sword. His eyes gradually lit up.

“So many good things!”

After his breathing hastened slightly, he quickly locked onto emperor-level cultivation arts. He ignored the others and only stared at one. His eyes revealed an unprecedented desire.

“Ancient Dao Seal Decree, incomplete!”

“I’ve been searching for this cultivation art for a very, very long time. As expected, it’s in the capital!”

The captain’s eyes revealed intense desire and another face of his appeared in his pupils. It also opened its eyes, revealing madness.

After a long time, he barely suppressed the desire in his heart. He then took a deep breath and looked in the direction of Xu Qing’s residence.

“Little Qing, Eldest Senior Brother said that in this life, he will definitely do his best to travel with you.”

“As long as I obtain this decree, I can really… travel with you in this life.”

The captain mumbled softly.

After the oath of the new Sword Holders was taken, on the morning of the third day, the seven-day secret training of the Sword Holders began.

The location of this secret training was also in the Sword Holding Palace. It was in the Knowledge Hall.

In the morning, as the time for the secret training arrived, all of the 51 new Sword Holders arrived on time. They were all sitting upright in the Knowledge Hall.

The Knowledge Hall was different from the other halls. There were many tables inside and the layout was like a school.

Xu Qing sat on the right side of the hall, behind the captain.

On his left was Qing Qiu, and on his right was Kong Xianglong.

As usual, Qing Qiu ignored Xu Qing. Kong Xianglong smiled at Xu Qing and spoke kindly.

“I’ve learned these things when I was a worker in the past. They’ve been pretty useful when completing missions over the years. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me.”

Xu Qing cupped his fists and thanked him. The captain in front turned his head and glanced at Xu Qing.

“Junior Brother, you can ask me too.”

Kong Xianglong smiled but didn’t speak.

Xu Qing glanced at the captain and nodded.

The captain was satisfied and was about to continue speaking. However, at the next instant, he quickly turned around and sat upright. The other Sword Holders were the same because a person walked over from outside the hall.

This person was a middle-aged man in a black Daoist robe. His body was very thin and his face was sallow, giving off a sickly feeling. He was a Nascent Soul cultivator and was coughing as he walked over.

This lasted until he shuttled through the tables in the hall and walked to the front. He sat on a chair and looked at everyone in the hall.

“When I speak, I don’t like to be interrupted, so if there’s anything you don’t understand… it’s that your comprehension ability isn’t good.”

“If someone interrupts me, then I’ll ask you to leave.”

“By the way, you can call me Sick Ghost. I’m in charge of teaching you the Sword Holder’s secret art of hiding things.” The Sick Ghost coughed again. This time, it was very intense and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

As blood flowed out, the poison hidden in the blood… silently spread out at this moment.

Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed.
