The sword cultivator from Lingtian Pavilion was initially considering whether to make a move against Yun Tao. Although Yun Tao was a disciple of the Wine-crazed, he was still a realm lower than him, so he wasn't afraid if they faced off against each other.

However, the arrival of Chen Jingxuan and another person made him dismiss that idea.

"It's nothing! It's just about treasure snatching. Luckily, the senior brother arrived in time and wasn't robbed by him."

Jiang Chen gently shook his head.

Chen Jingxuan was stunned for a moment and glanced at the sword cultivator from Lingtian Pavilion, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes.

"Are there only three items here?"

The sword cultivator from Heavenly Sword Sect glanced around the alchemy room and then turned to Jiang Chen.

"Brother Meng!"

Chen Jingxuan voiced his dissatisfaction with a low shout.

His question, if Jiang Chen were suspicious, would suggest that the Heavenly Sword Sect coveted the treasures Jiang Chen had obtained.

"It's fine, there are three items."

Jiang Chen waved a hand at Chen Jingxuan, then turned to look at Brother Meng.

"It seems this isn't the main burial chamber!"

Brother Meng spoke softly: "In the side chamber on our side, there are three cultivation technique books, but there is no 'Sword Canon.'"

"There's a stone door behind the hundred steps, and he came out from there."

Yun Tao coldly stared at the sword cultivator from Lingtian Pavilion.

"Sun Cheng, what is behind that stone door?"

Brother Meng's eyes lit up, lifting his head to look at the sword cultivator from Lingtian Pavilion.

Sun Cheng muttered, "Meng Fanjiang, don't talk to me in an interrogative tone. Behind that stone door is a passage. After Wu Mingzhe came in, he rushed straight in, and everyone followed him."

"Why did you come out? What did you encounter in there?"

Meng Fanjiang asked again.

"I repeat, do not use an interrogative tone with me!"

Sun Cheng responded coldly.

"It seems we need to settle the account of you attacking my junior brother right now!"

Yun Tao spoke coldly, tightening his grip on the heavy sword, and Meng Fanjiang also reached out, a spiritual long sword appearing in his hand.

"I don't know what's behind that, but when I was rushing toward the passage, I noticed the side chamber, and after entering the passage, I saw everyone chasing Wu Mingzhe, so I came back to see what's in this side chamber."

Sun Cheng's face changed, speaking in a low tone.

Jiang Chen squinted his eyes, speaking softly: "It seems the Wu family knew this wasn't the real main tomb, so they directly ignored it."

"If they knew there was a drop of Great Dao Essence Blood containing the origin of the Sword Dao of the Shadowless Sword Emperor here, they definitely wouldn't leave it for you!"

Sun Cheng spoke with a hint of implication in his tone.

Yun Tao and the others were stunned for a moment, looking at Jiang Chen in surprise.

Meng Fanjiang's eyes flashed with a brilliant light, a hint of hesitation in his gaze toward Jiang Chen.

Noticing Meng Fanjiang's odd behavior, Sun Cheng's mouth curved into a mocking smile.

"Brother Meng."

Chen Jingxuan noticed Meng Fanjiang's expression and shouted lowly.

Meng Fanjiang glanced at Chen Jingxuan, slightly lowered his head, and no longer looked at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen glanced at Sun Cheng, ignoring everyone's strange expressions, turning around and moving to the base of the hundred-step platform.

"Junior brother, this should be the corpse of the Shadowless Sword Emperor!"

Yun Tao spoke softly.

"Senior brother, do you really think this is the Shadowless Sword Emperor's corpse?"

Jiang Chen chuckled softly.

"Hmm? Isn't it?"

Yun Tao asked in surprise, wondering who else it could be if not the Shadowless Sword Emperor lying in the coffin of his tomb.

"Since this is a fake main burial chamber, even if the Shadowless Sword Emperor had a corpse, it wouldn't be placed here! Moreover..."

Jiang Chen's eyes flashed with an unusual expression: "The Shadowless Sword Emperor was obliterated by the Heavenly Tribulation, leaving only a shred of the Primordial Spirit returning with the Wuying Sword, so there's no corpse."

"Then... what is this?"

Yun Tao was slightly stunned, looking at the crystal coffin atop the hundred-step platform in surprise.

Whoosh!

Sun Cheng suddenly moved as if he thought of something, directly leaping towards the steps.

Meng Fanjiang's face changed, and he immediately flew up, chasing Sun Cheng towards the top of the steps.

"Senior brother!"

Jiang Chen grabbed Yun Tao, who also wanted to fly up, with one hand and pulled Sun Jingxuan back a few steps with the other.

"What's wrong?"

Yun Tao looked at Jiang Chen in confusion.

"Since the Shadowless Sword Emperor no longer has a corpse, why is there a coffin here?"

Jiang Chen spoke solemnly.

"This..."

Yun Tao was slightly stunned, his eyes lighting up: "Entering the tomb and casually disturbing the tomb owner's body is a great disrespect, could it be that..."

"Brother Meng, be careful!"

Chen Jingxuan's face changed, shouting loudly in warning.

At this moment, Meng Fanjiang and the others had already reached the top of the hundred-step platform, standing beside the transparent coffin.

Upon hearing Chen Jingxuan's shout, Meng Fanjiang instinctively took a step back.

Sun Cheng, however, didn't care and pushed the coffin lid open.

Buzz!

A violent Great Dao Aura suddenly appeared, and a terrifying Great Dao pressure burst forth from the coffin. The corpse inside instantly transformed into a fierce Sword Intent.

"Not good!"

Meng Fanjiang exclaimed, his figure flashing away from the coffin.

Swish, swish, swish!

Lines of fierce Sword Intent shot out from the coffin, instantly piercing Sun Cheng, who couldn't react in time, turning him into a sieve.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

Although Meng Fanjiang reacted quickly, he was still pierced by more than a dozen sword auras, his vitality instantly withering, his body heavy as he fell downward.

Whoosh!

Seeing Meng Fanjiang about to crash to the ground, Chen Jingxuan's figure moved, leaping to catch him below.

"Get down!"

Jiang Chen shouted loudly.

Chen Jingxuan instinctively dropped to the ground without time to react, with Jiang Chen and Yun Tao following suit.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

The fierce Sword Intent rampaged in the stone chamber, carving deep sword marks into its walls, the overwhelming Great Dao pressure pressing down on Jiang Chen and the others.

Puff, puff, puff!

Jiang Chen and the others all spurted a mouthful of blood, passing out immediately.

"Hmm? Woke up too late? After sleeping for so long, I didn't notice the Essence Blood had been taken."

A voice rang out in Jiang Chen's Sea of Consciousness.

Buzz!

A Phantom Sword Intent emanated from Jiang Chen, enveloping Jiang Chen, Yun Tao, Chen Jingxuan, and Meng Fanjiang, who were lying on the ground.

Meanwhile, the rampant Sword Intent seemed to sense something, avoiding Jiang Chen and the others.

In Jiang Chen's Sea of Consciousness.

Jiang Chen's Divine Soul had passed out, floating in the center of his consciousness. The Saint Dragon Sword and Town Soul Stele circled around Jiang Chen's Divine Soul on their own, with a drop of seven-colored mystical light blood suspended in mid-air.

"Boy, wake up! This Emperor doesn't have much time, hurry up and wake up."

A voice came from the blood.

Whoosh!

A brilliant light shone from the blood, condensing into a phantom figure beside Jiang Chen's Divine Soul.

Jiang Chen's Divine Soul seemed to sense something, slowly opening its eyes.

The phantom figure examined Jiang Chen's Divine Soul, a hint of surprise in its voice:

"Boy, are you this Emperor's heir?"
