Above the river of Sword Intent.
After the departure of the Little Peng King, Su Changqing composed himself and fully immersed into the numerous inheritances of Swordsmanship.
His speed was as fast as ever, walking through the light, surrounded by sword seals that blocked out the sun.
As the sword seals increased in number, their inner transformations became more profound and mysterious, with a pervasive essence.
Until the final barrier of Swordsmanship shattered, the sword seals behind Su Changqing suddenly brightened dramatically.
Boom!
Endless Sword Intent soared into the sky, and the 9,999 sword seals, upon the fusion of the last seal, became completely perfect!
These ten thousand sword techniques, sharing the same origin, formed their own cycle.
At this moment, starting from the first sword seal, the sword seals across the sky began to quickly merge!
One, ten, a hundred...
Until the ten thousand seals completely fused into one, a brilliantly resplendent tribulation seal appeared in the void, seemingly tangible!
That tribulation seal radiated light, and in its flickering glow, countless figures appeared, each wielding various sword techniques.
Ten Thousand Seals Become Calamity!
Converging ten thousand sword techniques, the form of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sword Seal was initially complete!
The tribulation seal, like a stream of light, directly imprinted itself onto Su Changqing’s spiritual center between his eyebrows.
In an instant, the profound secret technique of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sword Seal clearly appeared in his mind.
In the distance, Li Bufan witnessed this scene, his eyes unable to hide a look of envy,
"A sword seal formed of ten thousand techniques becoming a single calamity."
"Once one tribulation descends, ten thousand swords arise, this secret technique... is terrifying."
Born in an ancient sword clan, his family naturally had numerous Sword Dao secret techniques and divine techniques.
But even the strongest secret technique in his clan didn’t compare to the might of this Ten Thousand Tribulations Sword Seal.
Even the power of a single tribulation was already immensely powerful, if all ten thousand tribulations were released at once, what kind of spectacle would that be?
Imagining that scene, Li Bufan couldn’t help but show a hint of fear.
...
"So powerful!"
After accepting the inheritance, Su Changqing’s eyes couldn’t help but reveal a hint of surprise and joy.
The Ten Thousand Tribulations Sword Seal was much stronger than he had imagined.
These ten thousand sword techniques were gathered by the Sword Emperor, traveling across the heavens and myriad worlds.
These sword techniques could be fused and evolved, with boundless miraculousness.
In other words, ten thousand tribulations was merely a descriptor.
These ten thousand sword techniques could be infinitely fused and intertwined, and ten thousand tribulations was not the endpoint!
However, to reach that level, an extremely strong physique and Sword Dao comprehension were required.
"No wonder it’s the Sword Emperor’s inheritance, a technique of domain fusion, and a Ten Thousand Tribulations Sword Seal."
"Just these two techniques have far surpassed typical Great Emperor inheritances."
Thinking of this, Su Changqing looked off into the distance, his face full of anticipation,
"The first two inheritances are already so powerful, what has the Sword Emperor left in the last place?"
Without much delay, Su Changqing waved his large sleeve, rapidly merging the third law fragment into his sword.
In an instant, the Law Sword, which was already dazzling, emitted an even more brilliant light, more radiant than the sun.
"Senior, what is the last part of the inheritance?"
After putting away the Law Sword, Su Changqing couldn’t help but ask in curiosity.
"The last place is not an inheritance."
Xian looked at Su Changqing with a light smile and said, "Domain fusion and the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sword Seal are already strong enough."
"What the Sword Emperor left behind in the last place are resources."
Su Changqing was momentarily stunned, "Resources?"
"Indeed."
Xian looked towards the depths of the imperial tomb and said, "An incredibly terrifying amount of resources."
"The Sword Emperor traveled the nine heavens and ten lands, discovering numerous Great Emperor divine golds!"
Upon hearing this, Su Changqing’s face immediately lit up with joy, "Great Emperor divine gold?"
Having cultivated to this point, Su Changqing certainly understood how precious Great Emperor divine gold was.
It was the supreme treasure over which even Great Emperors would fiercely compete.
He did not expect the final inheritance left by the Sword Emperor to be such a treasure.
"The Sword Emperor never forged an imperial weapon during his life."
"In his final moments, he stripped away his own laws, leaving behind numerous divine golds."
Xian looked at the Law Sword in Su Changqing’s hand,
"This is his regret, and he hopes you can help him, and yourself, to forge a suitable divine weapon."
Upon hearing this, Su Changqing nodded heavily, his gaze fixed on the final part of the inheritance.
It was in the deepest part of the imperial tomb, within a grand hall.
"I hope there is a way to escape the desolation of the heavens."
Su Changqing took a glance at the upcoming desolation, ready to turn and leave.
But just then, a smiling voice resonated from the heavens and earth.
"Amitabha Buddha, Patron Su, please stay."
Upon hearing this, Su Changqing slightly furrowed his brow and turned to look at the sky.
Shan Xing appeared calm, standing quietly. Beside him lay a figure of unknown life or death, with a faint aura.
"What guidance do you have?"
Su Changqing glanced briefly and asked calmly.
The imperial tomb suppressed divine consciousness, and Su Changqing could not discern who Shan Xing’s companion was.
"Could the Celestial Buddha’s body be returned today?"
Shan Xing smiled kindly and spoke in a calm tone.
"It was mine to begin with, why speak of returning it?"
Su Changqing smiled slightly, with no intention of negotiating,
"Come to me with sincerity before we discuss further."
The Eight-Treasure Compass, though somewhat useful to Su Changqing, had become less so as his strength grew.
If Buddhism had approached things amicably from the start, there would be no need to hold onto it so tightly.
But Buddhism, from the outset, showed no intention of negotiating and continuously pushed aggressively.
As such, even if the Eight-Treasure Compass was of minimal use, Su Changqing would not easily relinquish it!
With this thought in mind, Su Changqing, unwilling to waste words with Shan Xing, turned to leave.
However, at this moment, a strange smile appeared on Shan Xing’s face.
"Patron Su, could this person be traded for the Celestial Buddha’s body?"
Su Changqing paused and turned back to look.
He saw Shan Xing grab the hair of the cultivator beside him, revealing a blood-stained face.
Su Changqing’s pupils suddenly contracted, his once calm expression changed abruptly.
