Chapter 338: Purple-Green Double Swords, Peerless Sword Technique

The Sacred Light Palace used to accommodate the Kun race’s most exalted guests.

The palace was carved entirely from precious North Sea crystals. It was pristine and very lovely.

All sorts of exotic plants with exquisite fragrances were carefully cultivated around the palace. Just the Spirit Qi in this place alone was far more intense than anywhere else in North Sea.

Shen Tian sat cross-legged in the seclusion room in the Sacred Light Palace. He took out the storage ring which Kun Xu had given him.

To be honest, this Kun Xu fellow had been rather generous. This ring had a storage space as ample as his own Archeon Sea Ring. Just this ring alone was worth as much as a supreme-grade Spirit artifact.

Of course, the value of this storage ring still paled in comparison to the items stored inside.

Inside this storage ring were three Sage-level artifacts and a ball of crystalline divine water, which exuded a soft glow.

The first Sage artifact was a silver cloak covered in faint runes. It was nearly merged as one with space and not easily detected unless observed closely.

A jade slip hung on that cloak, which contained an explanation of the history of this cloak.

This cloak was called “Void Cloak”. It was a low-end Sage artifact but was worth more than a normal mid-range Sage artifact.

This was because this cloak could mask one’s aura perfectly when worn. One would be able to merge completely with the void, and even a Sage who had undergone tribulations would find it difficult to detect you.

In battles, this clock also had the ability to manipulate space and help its wearer divert powerful attacks. It was a very valuable defensive artifact.

Although its aura-concealing properties were not useful to Shen Tian, he liked the design of the cloak. And it was very compatible with his Kun Peng arts.

When he wore this cloak, his Kun Peng arts would be able to merge with the void, thus increasing their powers.

As for the second and third Sage artifacts, they were a pair of low-end sacred swords. One was completely purple, while the other was completely green.

These two swords were a pair, and when used together, their powers were comparable to a mid-range Sage artifact. They possessed a lethal might that was exceptional and fearsome.

According to legends, this pair of swords came from the Shu Shan Sacred Ground and was a replica of Shu Shan’s treasure, the Purple-Green Double Swords.

The true Purple-Green Double Swords were forged from two types of peerless Immortal Metals. They were Thearch-level weapons and possessed a power that would dominate over the five regions.

These two swords were much inferior to the real ones, but they were still great weapons carefully refined by some powerful Sword Sage 10,000 years ago in the primordial battlefield.

That year on the battlefield, countless Evil Spirits had fallen at the hands of this pair of sacred swords. They were a formidable pair.

A pity that the Sword Sage had still been just a Sage. He had been killed by the enemies then.

And by a stroke of luck, those sacred swords had landed in the Kun race’s hands.

But since ancient times, there were few in the Kun race who liked to use swords. This pair of sacred swords had remained untouched in the treasure vault of the Kun race since.

Since they had to give the Divine Firmament Saint something, these two swords were the perfect gift. Kun Xu remembered that the Divine Firmament Saint was fond of using swords.

As the disciple of the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, Shen Tian’s sword techniques were pretty good. He would definitely appreciate this pair of Purple-Green Double Swords!

And Kun Xu was right. Shen Tian really liked this pair of Purple-Green Double Swords.

Powers aside, their design alone was very cool.

…

The purple sword looked like it had been carved from purple jade, shimmering with a deep resonance that was extraordinarily beautiful.

The green sword was just as exquisite. It didn’t look like a lethal weapon but a work of art.

These two swords paled in comparison to the Executing Heaven Sword.

But the Executing Heaven Sword was Shen Tian’s trump card. These two swords were just right for him to use on a daily basis. To fight your everyday common enemies.

Shen Tian reached out his right hand and squeezed a drop of reddish-golden blood out. He then split the drop in two and sent them into the swords.

Those two swords suddenly erupted in a dazzling light.

The entire Sacred Light Palace was enveloped in the light emitted by the Purple-Green Double Swords. An overpowering sword intent spread across tens of thousands of miles, making countless deep-sea creatures shiver in fear.

Clear, ringing sounds rang out from those two swords as if they were congratulating themselves for having found a new owner. And such a handsome one at that.

Well!

The Sage-level swords did not have any self-awareness and did not experience joy, sadness, or anger.

They were vibrating so intensely because a Divine Sword Constitution’s blood had activated them.

After absorbing Shen Tian’s blood, the powers of the two swords were fully replenished. They started sparring with each other, radiating with a faint, mysterious sword technique.

Shen Tian was in no hurry to keep the swords but let them carry out their moves in front of him.

The purple and green swords clashed over and over again as if two mighty swordmasters were sparring with each other.

Meanwhile, Shen Tian’s eyes glowed silver as he exuded a profound sword intent all over. He was carefully analyzing and learning this sword technique.

He could feel that this sword technique was quite extraordinary. It was causing his Divine Sword Constitution to hum and buzz. It was clearly not your usual legacy. It might even be a Thearch-level technique!

Perhaps this sword technique was the Shu Shan Sword Imperial Sutra practiced by the original owner of this pair of Purple-Green Double Swords!

…

If it was someone else, it would be impossible for them to understand this highly-classified legacy from the Shu Shan Sacred Ground just by watching the Purple-Green Double Swords.

But Shen Tian had the Divine Sword Constitution and the Connate Constitution. His ability to understand the sword techniques was enough to make a peerless sword cultivator break out in cold sweat. At that moment, he managed to understand quite a number of profound concepts.

“Purple-Green Sword Technique!”

Shen Tian’s eyes shone as he reached out his hands to summon the swords.

Streaks of purple-green sword aura shot out of his body, spreading out for thousands of feet.

If Shen Tian was not still inside his seclusion room, the entire Sacred Light Palace would probably be thrashed by his sword aura.

Come, sword!

Shen Tian’s eyes hardened. The sparring purple and green swords instantly morphed into two streaks of light shooting straight into his hands.

Purple and green sword light surged from those two swords. Shen Tian was engulfed in that sword light and looked just like a sword deity!

Cling!

Shen Tian struck out with those two swords in unison, from which two beams of light shot out for over 100 miles, turning a huge rock into a pile of dust.

And this was not Shen Tian’s limit. He felt that he could go even further if he wanted to.

It was clear that this Purple-Green Sword technique was a formidable sword legacy.

When cultivated to the highest levels, one could kill someone from thousands of miles away.

Its lethality was terrifying!

More importantly, it looked extremely cool and awesome!

…

The Kun race was really generous by giving him this Thearch-level sword technique and the pair of sage artifacts.

Shen Tian happily kept the Purple-Green Double Swords and looked at the final gift—the Triple Light Divine Water.

This was the treasure that stirred Shen Tian’s heart the most.

After all, no matter how valuable those three Sage-level artifacts were, they were not absolutely necessary for Shen Tian. They would not be a major boost to Shen Tian’s battle prowess.

However, this type of extraordinary item, especially one that was ranked in the top ten, was a perfect complement to Shen Tian’s special constitution.

If he could absorb and refine this Triple Light Divine Water, his battle prowess would definitely be greatly enhanced.

After all, this was ranked sixth on the Absolute Water List. It was even more precious than the First Essence Heavy Water.

After taking the Triple Light Divine Water out of the storage ring, Shen Tian could feel an intense desire rising from his own body.

He. Wanted. It.

He reached his right hand into the divine water.

Suddenly, the crystalline divine water seeped into Shen Tian’s hands and into his body.

The surging lifeforce filled Shen Tian from top to bottom, and a light shone out of every single orifice of his body.

The Triple Light Divine Water was radiating. It possessed the powerful ability to resurrect and rejuvenate.

If any critically injured mortal stood beside Shen Tian now, they just had to come into contact with a bit of that divine light, and they would be completely healed.

This was the treasure ranked number six on the Absolute Water List—Triple Light Divine Water!

The Kun race was really generous~

Just as Shen Tian was feeling very blissful and content, a voice rang out in his mind. “Saint, please come to the Kun Palace.”

It was a very familiar voice. It was the Kun King’s voice.

Wasn’t this guy supposed to be busy comprehending the Kun Peng Dao now?

Shen Tian was startled. But since the Kun King had given him so many benefits, he had no choice but to entertain him.

After making some minute adjustments, Shen Tian morphed into a golden light and shot straight toward the Kun Palace, whereby he attracted countless stares on the way.

It was really very rare to see such a handsome human in the Abyss of Despair!

…

At the Kun Palace, the Kun King and Kun Yu were now familiar sights to him.

The only thing that surprised Shen Tian was the presence of Kun Ming.

This big, burly fellow stood there like a huge, bad-tempered black bear.

But it was clear that the Kun King was curbing Kun Ming. He did not lash out at Shen Tian when he saw him.

On the contrary, his face was flushed a deep red as he gave Shen Tian a shallow bow.

“Shen Tian, I apologize to you!

“I went against you because of Princess Pianxian. I kept wanting to teach you a lesson, but not only did you not hold a grudge against me, but you also returned the Kun Peng Dao and helped me recover.

“You even gave my people the Enlightenment tea leaves. My father already told me everything. I… I should learn from you!”

Kun Ming’s face turned increasingly red as he spoke. He looked like he had just been fished out of a hotpot!

Kun Ming swore that he had never been so embarrassed in his life!

Unfortunately, he had no choice.

He had promised his father that he would offer the Divine Firmament Saint a sincere apology. Only then would he be able to drink the enlightenment tea.

The fragrance of the tea was just too good!

Father was right. Only if I put down those things weighing myself down, can I then seek to fly higher.

For example, pride!

So I no longer need any pride!

At this thought, Kun Ming seemed to have understood something.

Even the Kun Peng Dao, which he had been stuck trying to figure it out, suddenly seemed to make a little more sense now.

For a moment there, Kun Ming’s aura became even more powerful and wondrous. It was like he could morph into a Peng anytime now and fly up into the air.

This fellow seemed to have grown stronger.

Shen Tian didn’t give it much thought, nonetheless. He did not bear any grudge toward Kun Ming.

After all, he was the one taking advantage of all these prodigies. He held a benevolent heart toward all of them.

These prodigies needed love and forgiveness. Even if one of them viewed him as the enemy, he would use love to change their mind, to conquer them.

Over time, all these prodigies would grow up and become stronger, turning into Shen Tian’s precious treasures.

This was the power of love!

…

Shen Tian smiled. “Brother Kun, you are too kind. The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and the Kun race have been on good terms since ancient times. It was just a small misunderstanding. No need to think about it anymore.”

The Kun King glanced at Kun Yu with a smile. “That’s right. We are all like one big family. This silly kid was being ignorant the previous time. It is good that Saint Shen is not angry.”

After a short pause, the Kun King looked at Shen Tian. “I wonder if you have heard about our race’s forbidden tablet?”

Forbidden tablet?

Shen Tian frowned slightly. Just the name alone sounded scary.

The Kun King explained the entire history of the forbidden tablet. He did not try to hide the dismal fates of those unlucky folks who failed.

There was only one person who managed to understand the tablet and become a Thearch. The rest all died?

Shen Tian shuddered. Only a fool would mess with this thing!

The Kun King did not get anxious even when Shen Tian kept quiet. He continued. “This thing is very dangerous and risky. Saint Shen, you can take your time to consider.

“I have already informed the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, and he is leaving the decision entirely up to you. He will support any decision you make unconditionally.”

Is that so?

Shen Tian shut his eyes and kept silent for a bit.

After some time, he opened his eyes again. “I am a great prodigy and should have nothing to fear.

“This forbidden tablet is dangerous and mysterious, but since someone has already successfully comprehended it, then so can I!

“I am going to conquer this forbidden tablet!”

…

His words were so inspiring that Kun Yu’s eyes sparkled with adoration.

Even Kun Ming secretly felt somewhat amazed.

This is such a dangerous, forbidden tablet. Isn’t the Divine Firmament Saint even the least bit scared?

This Divine Firmament Saint is really charming and attractive. He is worthy enough to compete with me for Princess Pianxian.

But I am just grudgingly acknowledging him as my foe. There’s no way I will lose to him!

The Mermaid Princess can only belong to me!
