Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

As he chased, Ling Xiao also activated his Tai Chi Eye, carefully observing what the dazzling figure was.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered it was a very distinctive flying sword.

This flying sword was entirely made of wood, with many beautiful engravings on it, making it look very appealing.

However, it should not be a weapon, and is likely meant for ornamental purposes.

Yet even so, the wooden sword emanated a peculiar aura, indicating it was not a common item.

The wooden sword seemed to have a consciousness; when chased too closely, it lost its sense of direction and crashed into a tree, then fell to the ground and appeared to tremble a few times.

”Surround it, don’t let it escape!”

Chen Kun waved his hand, signaling his group to form a dense encirclement, trapping the wooden sword within.

”Mo Yu sister, we might have found a supreme treasure this time. This wooden sword flew from outside Yuhua Town and we happened to spot it. I’ve never seen a sword that can fly on its own; it must be extraordinary.”

Chen Kun walked toward the wooden sword excitedly, speaking as he walked.

”Wait a minute, Brother Kun, once we get this, who should own it? We both spotted it at the same time.”

Ling Moyu suddenly stopped Chen Kun and said.

Clearly, both were interested in the wooden sword, unwilling to let it go.

”Mo Yu sister, we are basically family, after all.”

Chen Kun laughed and said, ”We have been engaged since childhood, originally planning to marry at sixteen. Despite some mishaps, the engagement hasn’t been annulled. We’ll be sharing a bed in the future; what’s mine is yours.”

”Alright, then let me keep this wooden sword for now.”

Ling Moyu laughed and said.

Chen Kun frowned, pondering how to resolve the matter when suddenly the wooden sword flew up and darted into the distance.

”Stop it!”

Chen Kun shouted, and his subordinates rushed forward immediately.

To Chen Kun’s surprise, the wooden sword didn’t touch his two subordinates, yet they were knocked flying.

”Someone’s here!”

Being a Third Cave Sky Realm martial artist, Chen Kun sensed that things weren’t simple.

The wooden sword seemed to be stunned and couldn’t fly alone, much less attack his people; someone must be causing trouble.

He guessed correctly.

Ling Xiao took the wooden sword using Shadow Step, intending to put it in the Storage Ring, but the inscriptions on the sword flickered, resisting entry.

He had no choice but to hold the wooden sword and dash away.

With the speed of Shadow Step, he vanished into the dense forest quickly.

Chen Kun and Ling Moyu pursued, but Ling Xiao, possessing the Tai Chi Eye, was far more familiar with the forest than they were.

More familiar than the wooden sword itself, he disappeared without a trace after maneuvering a few times.

”Damn it! If I find out who stole my treasure, I’ll kill him!”

Chen Kun was extremely furious.

He had tracked this wooden sword for days, unable to eat or sleep well.

He was attacked by monster beasts and lost several subordinates when storming into the Western Region Mountain Range.

When he was about to reap the rewards of his hard work, someone else snatched it right before him, making him livid.

”Search for them! Absolutely do not let them escape! I refuse to believe it; the area near Yuhua Town isn’t that big. He wouldn’t dare venture deep into the mountains, would he?”

Chen Kun roared.

At the same time, he and Ling Moyu arranged to have people go down the mountain to notify the Chen Family and Ling Family, deploying many people to guard the foot of the mountain. Anyone descending the mountain would be thoroughly checked.

After all, it was a supreme treasure; losing it would be too disheartening for them.

After a while, someone reported back: ”Young Master, we found a cave that seems to have been inhabited.”

”Guard there, wait for him to return!”

Chen Kun gritted his teeth and said, ”But be cautious. This guy knows stealth techniques, keep your eyes peeled, and release inner strength to monitor the surroundings.”

Leaving Chen Kun’s side, Ling Xiao, after snatching the wooden sword, headed deeper into the Western Region Mountain Range.

He knew Chen Kun would not give up easily, so he didn’t return to the cave.

At least not for now.

Once his cultivation level improved, it wouldn’t be too late to return.

By then, neither Chen Kun nor Ling Moyu might be able to challenge him.

As he hurried, Ling Xiao carefully examined the specially crafted wooden sword.

The inscriptions on the sword seemed to be numerous small array formations, very densely packed.

Ling Xiao briefly checked and found more than three thousand, each very intricate.

Even he would require a long time to understand them.

”Master, what’s with these magic arrays?”

Ling Xiao awakened the Yuan Venerate in Mountain and River World to inquire.

Though he had entered the cycle of reincarnation, as long as the Tyrant Sky Martial Spirit existed, Yuan Venerate and Butterfly Girl must still be around.

”This sword should be the Secret Technique Sword! Simply called the Secret Art Sword.”

Yuan Venerate responded, ”The Secret Art Sword isn’t for martial skills and is rather fragile, but can be used to perform secret techniques!

Among the Ten Thousand Clans of the Mysterious World, there exists a clan called the ’Secret Art Clan,’ rumored to have migrated from the ’Law Realm.’ Though not numerous, they are very formidable.

After being recruited by the King of People, they became one of the powerful clans under his command.

Members of the Secret Art Clan generally aren’t physically strong, but wielding the Secret Art Sword, they can unleash astonishing destructive power.”

”Secret techniques are released using soul power; does that mean I can use this Secret Art Sword too?”

Ling Xiao asked.

”You should be able to use it. Each inscription on this Secret Art Sword represents a secret technique. If you study and master them, you can use them. While it won’t greatly enhance your cultivation level,

it will significantly boost your combat effectiveness.

Especially now when you can’t use your previous skills, it becomes even more useful.”

Yuan Venerate replied.

”But master, didn’t this wooden sword fly by itself earlier? Does it somehow have its own consciousness?”

Ling Xiao asked again.

”I’m not sure about that.”

Yuan Venerate shook his head, saying, ”It looks like you’ll need to figure it out yourself. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to sleep. Since you entered the cycle of reincarnation, I can’t come out easily.”

”Mhmm.”

Ling Xiao nodded, sensing Yuan Venerate’s slumber, then examined the Secret Art Sword closely.

”Master said soul power can be used to drive this Secret Art Sword; I should give it a try.”

With that thought, Ling Xiao injected his soul power into the sword.

In that instant, he suddenly saw the figure of a girl.

This girl was trapped within the wooden sword, or more accurately, seemed almost completely integrated with it.

The girl’s appearance could be described as naturally breathtaking; in terms of beauty, she was comparable to Moon Lady.

Yet, her looks were peculiar.

Her hair was golden yellow, and her eyes were as beautiful as blue gemstones.

Such an appearance was remarkably similar to a certain tribe on the Heavenly Dragon Continent.

It truly was special.
