The sky gradually darkened, and moonlight spilled into the valley, reflecting on the snow, making it extraordinarily beautiful.

Moreover, as the crowd gathered together, neither the Ice Crystal Tiger nor the Yinfeng Snake dared to come close, and it was rare for the entire afternoon to pass without any incident.

Time quickly reached midnight, the moment Lin Tong mentioned when the relic's entrance would exhibit unusual aura fluctuations.

"Commandery Princess, Saintess, look… Yin Wind Snakes are emerging!"

Lin Tong had guided Su Yuwei, Luo Qingxuan, Lu Qing, and Wang Junze to the relic entrance early on, and at the stroke of midnight, a strange aura fluctuation erupted from the entrance with dozens of Yin Wind Snakes visibly slithering out.

Paying no attention to these Yin Wind Snakes, both Su Yuwei and Luo Qingxuan's gazes were fixed on the entrance.

During the day, this place didn't appear particularly special, only having some blurry ancient inscriptions at the entrance. However, at this moment, as the aura fluctuated, these inscriptions lit up like runes.

"These are ancient inscriptions, Su Yuwei, do you recognize them?"

Luo Qingxuan turned to Su Yuwei and asked.

"I can't recognize them all, but… but, there are two characters that appear very frequently." Su Yuwei answered after carefully observing with a slight frown.

"Which characters?"

"Yi Sword!"

While speaking, Su Yuwei glanced deeply at Wang Junze before answering softly.

"What?"

In an instant, both Luo Qingxuan and Wang Junze were stunned, with Wang Junze exclaiming aloud.

"This luck… really makes me a bit envious." Luo Qingxuan shook her head and chuckled lightly.

The Chess Swordsmanship was originally just a fragmented text. Even though Wang Junze had exceptional talent, the impact of this fragment was quite limited and lacked much potential.

But now, things are different!

The frequent mention of Yi Sword in the ancient inscriptions at the relic entrance suggests that this relic is likely related to the Sect that created Chess Swordsmanship!

Previously, when Luo Qingxuan gave the Sword Manual to Wang Junze, she mentioned that this fragment might be related to a relic but didn't expect such a coincidence.

Of course, when thinking carefully, it's not that far-fetched. After all, the place where Luo Qingxuan obtained the Sword Manual was in the Northern Domain. If this was the location of the Sect, then finding a fragmented Sword Manual in the Northern Domain isn't surprising.

Nevertheless, for Wang Junze, this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity.

After all, if this is truly related to the Sect that created Chess Swordsmanship, it means there's a chance to find a complete Cultivation Technique within the relic, filling in the missing core Heart Method. In this way, the complete Chess Swordsmanship would become an Ancient Sword Path legacy, and its value would be entirely different.

In fact, if Luo Qingxuan had known beforehand that this relic was related to Chess Swordsmanship, she might not have given the Sword Manual to Wang Junze.

Of course, the practice conditions for this Swordsmanship are very stringent. Even if he acquires the complete Cultivation Technique, achieving success isn't guaranteed. However, regardless, this is undoubtedly a significant opportunity for Wang Junze.

"Luck itself is a part of strength," Su Yuwei responded lightly. "Which strong person in this world doesn't have opportunities? If you think about it, meeting you and me is his luck."

Both Luo Qingxuan and Wang Junze agreed with these words.

This relic being related to the Sect that created Chess Swordsmanship isn't luck; Wang Junze gaining Luo Qingxuan's favor and obtaining the fragmented Chess Swordsmanship ahead of time is the real luck.

Otherwise, even if he entered the relic, he couldn't have had such an opportunity.

Listening to the conversation between Luo Qingxuan and Su Yuwei, Lin Tong couldn't help but feel a sudden jolt in his heart. Although he wasn't entirely clear about some things, it didn't prevent him from guessing part of the truth.

Such an opportunity truly incites jealous madness.

"Buzz!"

Amid their conversation, a blinding light suddenly burst forth at the relic entrance, vaguely accompanied by a Sword Intent soaring to the sky.

"Be careful!"

Almost instantly, Su Yuwei's expression changed slightly. She suddenly pulled Wang Junze behind her, simultaneously waving her hand gently, causing a surge of Spiritual Qi to transform into a fine rain, engulfing and protecting both herself and Wang Junze.

On the other side, Luo Qingxuan also tapped the Sword Scabbard, and moon-white Sword Qi slashed out to counteract the terrifying Sword Intent.

Lin Tong wasn't so lucky. Neither Su Yuwei nor Luo Qingxuan paid any attention to him. Under the impact of the Sword Intent, he was directly blown backward, and even though his True Qi burst forth, it couldn't resist the invasion of the Sword Intent. He suffered severe injuries, spitting out blood, his face turning deathly pale.

But at this moment, no one had time to care about him.

Because this sudden anomaly meant… the relic had been activated!
