Outside the formation.

Everyone saw the soaring Dark Mist Tornado, their expressions changed, and they all looked at Jiang Chen, instantly noticing his perplexed face and eyes full of unwillingness.

"Young Jiang!"

A shout rang out, Jiang Chen turned his head, and with a flash of his body, leaped out of the great formation to Wine-crazed's side.

Wow!

At the same moment, the Dark Mist Tornado flew above the tombstone, suddenly bursting out a black mysterious light, rapidly condensing into a colossal figure.

The figure stood mid-air above the tombstone, appearing to everyone like a majestic giant sword, pointing at the sky, arrogantly looking down on all heroes!

"A lifetime pursuing one tribulation's end! Wu Ying soaring, the soul knows not! Settling life's dusted fate! Turning to flying ash scattered in the sky!"

"This day has finally arrived! After hundreds of years, this day has finally come, I, the Shadowless Sword Emperor, have finally reached the time of complete demise, it's just who today can inherit my legacy remains unknown!"

The figure left these words, and its body gradually turned into mist, drifting away with the wind!

A trace of sorrow appeared in Jiang Chen's eyes.

The Shadowless Sword Emperor, a legend in life, yet was deceived by a youth, betrayed by a friend, and at the brink of reaching the pinnacle, suffered a fatal attack by the one he trusted most, his heart must have been filled with grief?

Even in death, he had to perform this final act for his inheritor...

Jiang Chen glanced at the Wu Family people, eyes showing determination, silently vowing, Shadowless Sword Emperor, with your legacy, I will uncover the truth of that year, slay the traitor, and avenge you!

"The Shadowless Sword Emperor has dissipated completely!"

Wine-crazed spoke softly, his voice tinged with bleakness.

Cultivators defy the heavens to cultivate, without reaching the Pinnacle of Saint Transformation, they inevitably turn to dust and vanish from the world!

Wine-crazed's words touched many, leaving their expressions slightly somber.

But the Wu Family breathed a sigh of relief, casting a glance at Jiang Chen's mournful face, a slight smile appeared at the corner of their mouths.

As long as it's not the inheritance!

Seeing the Wu Family's smile, Jiang Chen suddenly realized why they solely sought the Wuying Sword. It must be that the Shadowless Sword Emperor told Wu Qian that obtaining the Wuying Sword would grant the inheritance, which is why they wanted it so much!

Heh, forget about the Wuying Sword, you won't get it!

The Wuying Sword, is not merely a sword!

It is the inheritance of the Wuying Sword Path itself!

"Mr Jiang, could you tell us how you managed to condense the black mist into a tornado?"

A voice disrupted the silence, Zhao Wenquan looked at Jiang Chen with suspicion.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Jiang Chen, only Wine-crazed turned around, staring intently at Zhao Wenquan, and the Lingtian Pavilion members all tensed.

Zhao Wenquan's face changed, hurriedly explaining: "Don't misunderstand, Senior Wine-crazed, I'm just curious!"

"Master, it's fine!"

Jiang Chen spoke softly.

Wine-crazed was slightly stunned, suddenly turning to look at Jiang Chen, his face lit up with joy: "You, you, what did you just call me?"

"Master!"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, looking into Wine-crazed's eyes, repeating it once more.

Wine-crazed almost killed Tang Lin for him, which touched Jiang Chen deeply. Though there was certainly an element of recognizing his talent, Wine-crazed's sincere care and affection were palpable to him, and it was worth acknowledging such a person as his mentor!

"Good! Good! Good! Hahaha... good!"

Wine-crazed laughed heartily up to the sky.

Zhang Sanfeng's eyes subtly shifted, taking a glance at Jiang Chen, a slight smile curved at the corner of his mouth.

No matter what decision Jiang Chen made, he would support him unconditionally, not for anything other than the title of 'Dragon Descendant'!

Yun Tao also showed a joyful expression, Jiang Chen's calling him 'Master' proved his acknowledgment of Wine-crazed. His own mentor being recognized naturally brought joy, especially since this recognition came from the 'Son of Heavenly Dao'!

Others gave Wine-crazed a puzzled glance, not quite understanding why he would lose his composure like this.

Looking at Zhao Wenquan, Jiang Chen showed a trace of regret: "After entering the black mist, I sensed the aura of Sword Dao and wanted to see if I could comprehend the Wuying Sword Path. Unexpectedly, my realm wasn't enough, and my comprehension of the Great Dao was insufficient, so I couldn't understand the Wuying Sword Path. If I had known earlier, I should have broken through to the Divine Infant Realm sooner, then maybe I could have comprehended the Wuying Sword Path!"

"You say you sensed the aura of Sword Dao?"

Zhao Wenquan's eyes changed, speaking in surprise.

The forces' people all showed a complex expression.

"Young Master Jiang, you... sigh! It's truly a pity!"

Chen Jingxuan nodded in agreement: "Your affinity with the Golden Path is top-notch, if you had broken through to the Divine Infant Realm earlier, perhaps you really could have comprehended the Wuying Sword Path!"

"What!?"

"Top-notch affinity with the Golden Path!?"

"No wonder he could sense the aura of Sword Dao!"

"I didn't expect this young one to be so talented!"

The forces' people exclaimed, glancing at Wine-crazed, understanding why he lost his composure. Having a disciple with top-tier Sword Dao talent was indeed a great joy for a sword cultivator!

Chen Zhenhua's face changed, casting a complex look at Jiang Chen. Originally, Jiang Chen was to cultivate at the Heavenly Sword Sect, but...

"Everyone, let's prepare to enter the tomb!"

Wu Youliang called out.

Everyone's eyes brightened, regardless of Jiang Chen's talent, he was already Wine-crazed's disciple. They dared not snatch, finding treasures in the great tomb was the task at hand.

"Jiang Chen, you're now my junior brother! Shall we go in together?"

Yun Tao said with a gentle smile.

"Greetings, Senior Brother!"

Jiang Chen cupped his fists in salute to Yun Tao.

"Good! Good!"

Yun Tao patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder.

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, though he had voluntarily called him Senior Brother, it had been a long time since anyone dared to pat his shoulder. Yet, this kind of closeness felt quite heartwarming to Jiang Chen!

"Sword cultivators of the Divine Infant Realm can proceed to the tombstone, those who need to open the tomb door, come to my nephew Wu Zhen!"

Wu Youliang called out again, pointing to a youth in the Wu Family.

Yun Tao turned to look at Wine-crazed, who nodded gently, so Yun Tao stepped over to that youth.

Each of the four major forces sent one person to that youth, and another youth from the Wu Family went over as well.

Wu Zhen took the Spirit Stone from Wu Youliang's hand and infused it with a burst of spiritual power.

Buzz!

An invisible light shield, five meters wide, enveloped the seven people, emanating an awe-inspiring Sword Intent.

"Alright, everyone, into the formation!"

Whoosh whoosh!

At the call, the Sword Cultivators of the Divine Infant Realm from each major force entered the formation first. At this moment, the pressure of the Great Dao within the formation had disappeared, and everyone swiftly leaped towards the tombstone.

"Let's go!"

Wu Zhen called out, stepping into the formation, Yun Tao and the others followed closely.

Jiang Chen glanced at the tombstone, a trace of hesitation appearing in his eyes.
