Chapter 143

“Yeah, it’s a Burial Ground, enveloped by demonic miasma throughout the year. All the ancient demonic beasts in there are all demonized. It’s extremely dangerous, and it’s said to be the sect’s inheritance. You can find all sorts of incredible encounters there.” Ming Hua’s eyes flickered. “The inheritance ground, it’s where elite disciples of the ancient sect are allowed to enter.”

Lin Yun’s heart became heated. He naturally knew what Ming Hua meant. From the runes, he could tell how glorious it once was, and the temptation of their inheritance ground went without saying.

“All the Xiantian Realm cultivators in the Azure Sun Realm will head for the Burial Ground. I’m afraid that not even the three overlord forces could gain any benefits here. But we might have a chance with your Cosmic Treasure.” Ming Hua smiled. Even with Lin Yun’s Cosmic Treasure, he wasn’t absolutely certain about it.

Have a chance? Lin Yun clicked his tongue. As the Radiant Pavilion’s young sect master, Ming Hua did not have any arrogance despite his status. The Quasi-Profound Martial Realm could be considered the strongest existence in the Azure Sun Realm.

If Lin Yun did not have a Cosmic Treasure, he would have to flee immediately upon facing such experts. Even with his Thunderblitz Battle Physique, it wouldn’t feel good taking a few palms from a Quasi-Profound Martial Realm cultivator.

On the other hand, Ming Hua had a Quasi-Profound Martial Realm with him. But if Ming Hua said that they might only have a chance, then it would be impossible for others. Perhaps Ming Hua’s real goal was someone like Bai Lixuan.

He had seen those Sword Firmament Pavilion’s disciples, and they were terrifyingly strong. Their sword aura could even tear the clouds apart. As for Bai Lixuan, he felt even more terrifying than the Quasi-Profound Martial Realm elders from Golden Flame Sect and Blood Cloud Sect even with his cultivation in the seventh orifice of the Xiantian Realm.

No one knew exactly how strong Bai Lixuan was, and Si Xueyi, who was equally as famous as him wouldn’t be any weaker. These are only the experts who were exposed, and who knew how many experts were hidden in the dark.

A brief moment later, Ming Hua gathered the Radiant Pavilion’s disciples. But those who were in the fifth orifice were asked to leave. He only kept four to five people around him, and they were the Radiant Pavilion’s sixth or seventh orifice elites.

“Let’s go.”

Half a day later, a massive ruin enveloped in demonic miasma appeared before their eyes. This place was remote, and Lin Yun would definitely not find it if he was here by himself.

The demonic miasma was whistling incessantly by the wind. It was like a demonic chime that affected the hearts.

“This is the demonic miasma?”

“It feels like entering hell…”

The Radiant Pavilion’s Xiantian Realm cultivators wore a grave expression. It was their first time seeing the demonic miasma.

Looking around, there were many wandering cultivators in the surrounding, and they also wore a grave expression as well, standing by the border. But most of them would gnash their teeth and charge into the miasma.

There were many bones in the demonic miasma, and they belonged to the ancient sect’s disciples who died in the war. From the surrounding scenery, anyone could tell that there was a terrifying battle a long time ago.

Knitting his brows slightly, Ming Hua spoke out, “The demonic miasma here has thinned down. It looks like we’ve fallen behind. Everyone be careful and come with me.”

Everyone immediately felt uncomfortable when they stepped into the demonic miasma. The demonic miasma was seeping into their bodies, which everyone had to use their spiritual energy to resist the invasion.

However, Lin Yun did not have any change in his expression. The demonic miasma at such level couldn’t pose any threat to him. Back in the Sword Grave, he had used demonic miasma to temper his Thunderblitz Battle Physique to perfection.

“This is…” The group was shocked when they saw a massive demonic beast’s corpse. When they went over to take a look, all of them sucked in a cold breath. It was a colossal corpse, but it was lying on the ground lifelessly.

The corpse only had one wound, a sword wound that went deep into the internal organs and dealt fatal damage. The demonic beast’s black blood was also leaking out from the wound like a small stream.

“What a terrifying sword technique!”

“Just a sword could contain such sword aura to destroy his demonic beast’s vitality.”

“I heard that this was left behind by Bai Lixuan. Someone had witnessed this demonic beast attacking him, which he resolved it with just a sword.”

“This demonic beast has the strength in the seventh orifice when it was alive, right?”

Everyone was shocked. Although they did not witness how Bai Lixuan made his move, the wound left on this corpse left them greatly shocked.

Buzz! Buzz!

Unlike everyone else, Lin Yun’s ears twitched. He could hear a sword cry reverberating out from this demonic beast’s body. In the next second, his face changed, “Young Master Ming, step back! There’s something weird about this corpse!”

Ming Hua was baffled. Not even the grey-clothed elder could see anything wrong with this corpse. So how did Lin Yun manage to do it?

However, Ming Hua still heeded Su Tao’s advice due to his trust in the latter. He immediately waved his hand and retreated with the Radiant Pavilion’s party.

Boom!

Not long after they retreated, the demonic beast’s corpse exploded, unleashing seven sword rays that soared into the sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the next second, the corpse was blown into pieces. Simultaneously, the cultivators who were examining the corpse was injured by the sword aura. It had happened all of a sudden. There were people who had their chest pierced by the sword aura, and some serious cases had their limbs broken. When the sword aura exploded out from the corpse, more than ten people were injured.

“This is sword intent!”

“Bai Lixuan is able to leave such a terrifying sword intent behind with just one sword…”

“Just how strong is Bai Lixuan?”

Looking at the pieces of the corpse, all the cultivators who were affected by the sword aura had their faces changed.

“Lin Yun, we’re safe all thanks to you.” Ming Hua sighed.

The grey-clothed elder gave a deep glance at Lin Yun and commented, “I’m afraid Sir Lin’s comprehension for sword dao isn’t far from reaching the form of sword intent. This is how you’re able to sense the sword aura in the corpse, while I can’t even sense anything.”

Lin Yun took their compliments calmly. His sword intent was incomplete, and reaching Bai Lixuan’s level was still far from his reach. He had no idea how the Sword Firmament Pavilion could nurture a monster like Bai Lixuan.

As they continued forth, they encountered more corpses along the way. Many people had already opened a path, which made it easier for those who came after them.

Perhaps it was due to the demonic aura, but the skeletons left behind by the ancient sect’s disciple did not turn into ashes. Their bones littered on the ground, which added a tragic atmosphere in the surrounding

Looking at the scenery before them, no one could imagine how brutal the war was that caused so much death.

“There’s something queer about that place.” Lin Yun pointed at a tattered wall that was nearby.

Along the way, Lin Yun’s keen sense had saved many people from trouble. He had convinced everyone of his ability.

“Let’s go take a look.” Ming Hua immediately led everyone over.

Walking through the mountain of bones on the ground, it didn’t take long for the group to arrive before the wall. There was a painting engraved on the wall, and the painting seemed profound. The painting had a distinctive dao rhyme to it, which made everyone’s heart tremble. It was a dao painting.

However, there were several cracks on the wall, which intertwined together.

“Sword marks… Damn it! It’s Bai Lixuan!” Ming Hua clenched his teeth with rage written on his face.

This wall painting was precious, and it would be comprehended by the Radiant Pavilion’s disciple. However, the sword marks left on the wall had dispelled Ming Hua’s thoughts. Anyone who touches the wall carelessly would suffer be injured by the sword intent left in the painting.

“They seem to have taken all the treasures they could while destroying those they couldn’t.” The grey-clothed elder sighed.

The logic behind it was simple. If you’re strong enough not to fear the demonic beasts in the demonic miasma, you could also do the same.

“Perhaps I can give it a try.” Lin Yun suddenly spoke out.

“Brother Lin, are you serious?” Ming Hua’s eyes lit up with hope. This wall painting wasn’t helpful to individuals, but it was a great treasure for the Radiant Pavilion.

“Let me give it a try.” Lin Yun walked up and released his sword aura after everyone retreated. His aura suddenly transformed, like a sword pulled out from the scabbard. Controlling his sword aura, he willed it to envelop the entire wall painting.

While everyone was bewildered while they looked at Lin Yun, Lin Yun’s sword aura suddenly retracted, pulling out the sword intent hidden in the wall painting. In the next second, seven sword rays bolted out from the wall painting.

“Brother Lin, be careful!” Ming Hua exclaimed out.

Using his fingers as a sword, Lin Yun managed to withstand six sword rays with his incomplete sword intent. But on the seventh sword ray, Lin Yun took a few steps back with his face changed.

Rattle!

Simultaneously, the painting fell off the wall in pieces.

“Quick, keep it!” Ming Hua rejoiced. Lin Yun had succeeded, preventing the wall painting to be reduced to dust. The fragments still contained the dao rhyme, and they could piece it up.

Under his instruction, everyone from the Radiant Pavilion carefully kept the fragments.

“Brother Lin, are you alright?” Ming Hua walked up emotionally.

“I’m fine. It’s just a sword intent that he left behind. So as long as I’m prepared for it, it won’t pose any threat to me.” Lin Yun smiled.

However, Ming Hua and the grey-clothed elder did not share the same sentiments. If Lin Yu’s insight for sword dao wasn’t strong enough to withstand the sword rays, he wouldn’t be able to save the wall painting from being destroyed.

Through this event, the two had a higher appraisal of Lin Yun. Even without the Cosmic Treasure, Lin Yun was still strong.

The Burial Ground was covered in bones, and there were many buildings remaining with similar items that could be used to comprehend dao. This place was truly worthy of being the inheritance ground. Even an unremarkable construct would be a treasure for them.

After this short episode, the group resumed their journey. Not long later, a massive plaza appeared in everyone’s eyes.

The floor was decorated with grey sandstone, which permeated with an ancient aura, giving off a refined pressure. There were many people gathered on the plaza, and Lin Yun looked past them to see a massive black altar at the center. Just the flight of steps along was numbered in tens of thousands.
