"Semi Divine Infant Realm cultivation? That's too weak, isn't it?"

The illusory figure glanced at Jiang Chen's Divine Soul a few times, then said, "However, to gain the recognition of the Town Soul Stele, your talent must be exceptional!"

"Greetings, senior. This junior is Jiang Chen, and you are... the Shadowless Sword Emperor?"

Jiang Chen looked at the illusory figure in surprise and probed.

"I am the Wu Ying!"

The Shadowless Sword Emperor nodded and said softly, "I have little time left, listen to me."

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, nodding gently.

"This is a wisp of consciousness I left in my Essence Blood, and it will soon dissipate."

"The purpose of this graveyard was to lure out the person who harmed me. There are no great treasures here, I am alone and have nothing to leave behind. However, if you have followed the guidance of my Essence Blood to find the pill chamber, you should have already acquired the Dao Fruit and Spirit Grass I specially left for you."

"The Five Elements Dao Fruit can assist you in comprehending the Five Elements Great Path, and the Spirit Grass can help you enhance your Primordial Spirit Power. This is the last thing I can do for you."

"I have never taken a master my whole life, always roaming alone across the continent, cultivating by myself! Throughout my life, there was regret, remorse, and hatred! I do not wish for you to end up the same way."

"Since you could gain the recognition of the Town Soul Stele, your talent is undoubtedly extraordinary. Do not be like me, considering yourself too extraordinary to join any force, only to end up with one lifelong friend who betrays you!"

The Shadowless Sword Emperor said this, and his body shook, becoming even more illusory.

"Senior!"

Jiang Chen was startled and cried out, a dim look appearing in his eyes.

"Haha! The fact you can feel sadness brings comfort to my heart. If it weren't the case, even if I allowed the Essence Blood to dissipate, I wouldn't let you benefit from it!"

The Shadowless Sword Emperor chuckled lightly, turning to look at the drop of Essence Blood emanating a multicolored mysterious light, "This drop of Essence Blood contains my three strongest attacks and all my comprehension of the Great Dao. You must quietly comprehend them and strive to reach the pinnacle soon. I rely on you to avenge me!"

"Rest assured, senior, I shall never forget this vendetta!"

Jiang Chen bowed deeply to the illusory figure, solemnly speaking.

"Senior? Having received my inheritance, are you unwilling to address me as master?"

The Shadowless Sword Emperor's eyes flashed with rage, staring directly at Jiang Chen.

"This... Teacher! This junior can only call you Teacher!"

Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, solemnly said, "I have already pledged myself to another master; how could I pledge to another? Please forgive me, Teacher!"

"Aren't you afraid I'll disperse the Essence Blood so you can't comprehend my Great Dao and acquire three life-saving attacks?"

The Shadowless Sword Emperor's eyes narrowed, flames of fury burning within them, furious to the extreme.

"Please forgive me, Teacher! Betraying my master is akin to betraying my ancestors; such a thing, this junior cannot do!"

Jiang Chen declared righteously, "If Teacher wishes to destroy the Essence Blood, this student harbors no resentment."

Seeing Jiang Chen's determined eyes, the Shadowless Sword Emperor retracted his anger, laughed heartily, "Haha! Haha... Good! Good! My legacy truly does you justice! Loyal and righteous, cherishing one's master! I am truly relieved now!"

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, smiling knowingly; the Shadowless Sword Emperor was testing him!

"Boy, you are quite good, this emperor likes you a lot. If you were born a few hundred years earlier, perhaps we could have been friends!"

Laughing lightly, the Shadowless Sword Emperor said, "Alright, separate a wisp of Soul Force, I will help you control this drop of Essence Blood."

"Yes!"

Jiang Chen nodded without hesitation, separating a wisp of Soul Force.

Buzz!

The Shadowless Sword Emperor raised his hand and pointed, the drop of Essence Blood instantly flew above Jiang Chen's separated Soul Force, directly absorbing it.

Jiang Chen suddenly felt he could fully control this drop of Essence Blood and the three incredibly powerful attacks within it that filled him with shock.

Buzz buzz buzz!

With this action, it seemed to consume all the strength remaining in this shadow of the Wuying Sword Path, and the shadow began to slowly dissipate.

"Teacher!"

Jiang Chen's Divine Soul tightened, crying out.

"Boy, do not grieve, this emperor has been dead for several hundred years already. To have a reliable successor, this emperor is satisfied."

The Shadowless Sword Emperor smiled lightly, then reminded, "There is nothing of value left in this grave; the remaining rooms are filled with worthless junk. In the final stone chamber, there is a Spirit Treasure Divine Weapon and a booklet, disguised by me as the Wuying Sword and Sword Canon, but once touched, it will trigger the killing array I set up using the Phantom Sword Intent."

"Once you awaken, quickly leave with your friends. Once the killing array activates, the entire grave will turn into a death trap!"

With those words, the Shadowless Sword Emperor's figure vanished within Jiang Chen's Sea of Consciousness.

As consciousness returned to his body, Jiang Chen sensed the quietly fading Phantom Sword Intent around him, a look of sorrow in his eyes.

Looking around, Yun Tao and the others were still unconscious. The whole stone chamber was in disarray from sword intent marks, and the walls were covered in deep sword scars.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Jiang Chen stood before the hundred-step high platform, lowering his body.

Thud!

Dong dong dong!

Jiang Chen knelt heavily, kowtowing three times, softly speaking to himself, "Teacher, farewell. I will certainly strive to enhance my power, and I will avenge you! Those who wronged you will meet no good end!"

Buzz!

Suddenly, a chaotic aura emanated from behind the platform, Jiang Chen furrowed his brows slightly, rising to shield Yun Tao and the others.

Swish!

A red figure darted from the passage behind the platform, pausing slightly upon seeing Jiang Chen and others.

"Young Master Pang? You are..."

Jiang Chen gazed in surprise at Pang Guang.

At this time, Pang Guang was covered in blood, a bone-deep sword scar on his chest, his face deathly pale, and his breath weak as if gravely wounded.

"Young Master Jiang, you are..."

Pang Guang eyed Jiang Chen and the others, then around at the sword scars, surprise evident in his eyes.

"A killing array was triggered here. We were all injured, and how about you..."

Jiang Chen softly explained, inquiring further.

"We found Wu Zhen in a stone chamber ahead. He used a Formation to directly reach the back; together, we reached the last main burial chamber and discovered the Wuying Sword and Sword Canon. But at that moment, Wu Zhen and Wu Mingzhe suddenly attacked."

Pang Guang recounted the events, "A sword cultivator from a minor faction was killed by Wu Mingzhe, and the Wuyou Island sword cultivator was severely injured. I was wounded by Wu Zhen, and it was due to the desperate effort of my family's two guards holding off Wu Mingzhe that I managed to escape!"

"They discovered the Wuying Sword and Sword Canon?"

Jiang Chen's heart shivered, speaking anxiously, "Now that only Wu Mingzhe, a Divine Infant Realm Peak cultivator, remains uninjured, we must leave here immediately, or it will surely be our end!"
