Within the secret realm, Chu Huaixu listened to the system prompt and quickly opened the interface to check.

As a result, just like last time, there were no rewards for clearing the dungeon written at the top.

“I suppose there might be some gains during the process,” he speculated.

He just didn’t expect that this Inheritance Secret Realm would be named—[Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root]!

For this legendary number one technique in the world, everyone was extremely familiar with it.

Its sword formulas are shared with everyone in the world, anyone can ponder over it. Not to mention cultivation sects, even on the bookstands in the mortal world, it’s available for purchase…

Those martial world swordsmen almost each have a copy.

Learning to use it is certainly impossible, but if you don’t have a copy, it feels like something’s missing!

“In my memory, the Big Ice Cube never used [Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root] in ‘Borrowed Sword,’ not even in extremely dangerous life-and-death moments.”

“Nor have I heard that she learned this top-notch technique.”

“Currently, the only known person to have grasped [Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root] is the Sword Venerable from the Sword Sect.”

“He used it once during a spar with Situ Cheng, and only that once.”

“So, what exactly is the meaning of this dungeon?”

He glanced at Han Shuangjiang, considering a possibility.

Perhaps she actually obtained the secret of [Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root] in the dungeon.

But due to not having enough power or Sword Dao insights, she hadn’t learned it.

This seems normal.

After all, when Chu Huaixu traveled through, the main storyline of ‘Borrowed Sword’ was estimated to be only halfway through.

According to the normal plot progression, for the two main characters of the East Continent, Xu Ziqing’s biggest exploit should be unlocking those nine restrictions to finally unleash the full power of the Bronze Sword.

As for Han Shuangjiang, it was previously known only that her cultivation speed was fast, and she gained two Daoist Ancestor inheritances. Now it seems her ultimate move at the end of the main storyline is estimated to be [Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root]!

Once he thought of this, Chu Huaixu also felt a bit excited.

He didn’t know if he could gain any benefit from it.

But he was very curious and eager to know… what exactly is the secret of [Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root]!

“This skill is really peculiar; it costs 1,000,000 experience points to try one’s luck, and chances are high it won’t be obtained, with the probability of mastering it being incredibly low!”

He was very well aware of the dynamics in ‘Borrowed Sword,’ almost too familiar.

“After all, so many players have tried to learn it but couldn’t.”

“Moreover, under normal circumstances, this kind of Celestial Level technique has learning requirements, one must reach [Comprehension 7].”

“But [Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root] doesn’t have that.”

“It only has one rule, which is to spend 1,000,000 to try your luck.”

Looking at it this way, it seems quite good, low threshold.

After all, like his own big account at Spring and Autumn Mountain only had [Comprehension 6].

In the version before his traversal, players reaching [Comprehension 7] were fewer than a handful.

“But in my opinion, the more it seems like this, the more likely it is a huge trap! Definitely a game scam!”

At that time, player levels were capped at Level 49, unable to advance to Level 50 and become Great Cultivators.

Hehe, your experience points are just sitting there with nowhere to spend, right?

Then come and learn [Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root]!

Guaranteed that once you learn, you won’t say anything.

“I even saw on forums those rich in experience points spending nine million to go all in.”

“At the end, they went crazy posting on forums, enthusiastically recommending, calling on everyone to learn, and even started babbling about calculating probabilities for success…”

But Chu Huaixu’s mindset now is different from when he was playing games.

How to say it, even if this is a scam, he now feels he’s moved from a low-level scam to a higher-level scam.

The setup for this scam is so well done!

Having learned the [Dao Scripture], obtained the Daoist Ancestor Sword Scabbard and Daoist Ancestor’s lifebound object…

There is also a Heart Sword in his Sea of Consciousness, of a very high rank.

This gives him the feeling as if, out of nowhere, [Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root] is hinting at him—it’s you!

This changed Chu Huaixu’s mindset from “not even a dog would learn this” to “I’m going to learn [Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root]!”

But he still remained rational.

He had his own plans and pace.

According to Chu Huaixu’s previous thoughts, he intended to first raise [Comprehension] to 7 points.

This is the threshold for Celestial Level techniques, which he felt necessary to achieve first.

“Normally, the higher the comprehension, the less experience points needed to learn and upgrade skills.”

“Although [Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root] is different, still requires 1,000,000 points to try luck, I don’t care, I won’t even try this toxic thing before reaching [Comprehension 7].”

And after reaching [Comprehension 7], according to his initial plan, he intended to try his luck with 1,000,000 points every time he accumulated 10,000,000 experience points.

People should learn to allocate assets reasonably!

How can they gamble it all away!

Even if gambling, sitting at a Texas Hold’em table, you should learn to control the pot sensibly.

He doesn’t believe in “going all in is a form of wisdom.”

Chu Huaixu just didn’t expect to find himself in a dungeon called [Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root].

Is it luring again?

“Cheeky skill, I’ll learn you thoroughly in the future!”

…

…

At the entrance of the secret realm, Chu Huaixu began to make things up to Han Shuangjiang, casually finding a reason.

“Look, there’s a giant ‘Sword’ character written on the stone wall; I suspect it’s related to [Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root].”

The cold-faced girl was somewhat used to it; the Dead Fox always had some whimsical ideas.

But the strange thing is, he always seems to be right in the end.

She thought about it carefully and indeed couldn’t rule out this possibility.

As everyone knows, the Dao Ancestor always had no sword, yet claimed to be a sword cultivator.

He always loved borrowing swords from others.

However, after borrowing the sword, almost no sword technique is used, it’s all basic movements, as if not knowing any Sword Dao Technique.

No one has ever seen his Sword Intent, let alone his Sword Heart and Sword Domain.

In any case, none of these things have been recorded.

The only thing related to the Sword Dao is “Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root”!

In fact, because the Dao Ancestor never had a sword, and never used any Sword Dao Technique, yet no sword cultivator in the world was a match for him, his opponents came up with a clever idea…

——Strip him of his sword status!

Are you even considered a sword cultivator? You’re simply not a sword cultivator!

Until the Dao Ancestor created “Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root,” the situation changed.

Chu Huaixu even suspected that the Dao Ancestor offering “Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root” for all to study might have a bit of cheekiness in it.

Saying I’m not a sword cultivator?

Alright, fine!

Then I’ll create the world’s strongest Sword Dao Technique, and pose it as something anyone can learn—I’ll see if you all can master it!

Proven fact, sword cultivators across the world were truly “humiliated” by him.

Can’t learn it, really can’t learn it!

At this moment, the two looked up at the word “Sword” on the stone wall, but nothing happened.

Unlike last time when entering the Secret Realm, just seeing the word “Dao” on the stone wall led them into a mystical realm, feeling the pressure at the level of Sea of Consciousness, then enhancing the Power of Divine Sense.

“No welcoming gift this time?” Chu Huaixu was puzzled.

Last time, he felt the Dao Ancestor’s generosity intensely!

After all, within his Sea of Consciousness, there was a Heart Sword, so he didn’t feel any pressure from the Sea of Consciousness. Instead, he directly received a big gift of Divine Sense enhancement.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel slightly suspicious.

“Previously, it just felt off. Obviously, the Daoist Ancestor Secret Realm is a single-player instance, but every stage’s rewards are in surplus. After entering, I’ve gained improvement in all aspects.”

But now having received the Dao Seal “Huaixu,” and seeing that aphorism.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but let his mind wander.

Are the instance rewards themselves in surplus?

Or is it…

Chu Huaixu couldn’t think too deeply for now.

He just couldn’t help but lower his head to look at his palm.

There were the words “Huaixu,” but they wouldn’t appear without activation.

The stone gate on the stone wall was pushed open, inside was a narrow passage, only wide enough for a single person to walk through.

“I’ll go ahead.” Chu Huaixu said.

“Okay.”

He used to step back behind the Big Ice Cube purely to play to her role as a “Treasure-Seeking Rat.”

Now that they’ve entered the instance, he naturally has to be in front of her.

He already thought it through: “Even in an instance called ‘Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root,’ I won’t mess around.”

“Comprehension 7 is the major premise.”

He installed a “Fraud Prevention APP” for himself.

——As long as I am resolute, no one can cheat me out of “money”!

Chu Huaixu continued onward, soon reaching a stone chamber up ahead.

Inside, there was only a single cushion.

Besides that, there was a cyan energy cluster floating in the air.

It wandered around the room, radiating a mystical force, even from afar, Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang felt refreshed just by breathing! Minds were cleared! Thoughts were exceptionally lucid!

“Feels like something good.”

Chu Huaixu wasn’t in a hurry to proceed, but instead, tentatively threw an Information Detection at the cyan energy cluster.

His Information Detection privileges had been enhanced several times.

But the feedback received was still three question marks.

“What is that thing?” Han Shuangjiang couldn’t help but speak up.

“Unknown, let’s go in and see.” Chu Huaixu had to answer this way.

It felt like something extraordinary.

The Dao Ancestor’s legacy was placed a thousand years ago.

“So wouldn’t that mean this cluster of energy has been floating here for a thousand years?”

The two entered the stone chamber, unsure of what to do.

Inside there was just a cushion, and a cyan energy cluster, nothing else, seemingly meant for one to sit on.

“Look! Let’s each take a half and squeeze together.” Chu Huaixu thought for a moment, looking at his partner’s abundant posterior.

——That sure would be quite a squeeze.

Who knows if this single-player instance will allow two to venture together?

Try to find out.

“Okay.”

The two sat together on the cushion, each occupying half, the other half of their rears on the ground.

They sat closely, feeling each other’s body warmth.

Han Shuangjiang naturally had wide hips, Chu Huaixu felt her hipbone was pressing against him.

A big rear, too large to fit.

In the next moment, the energy cluster split into two, respectively pouring into their bodies.

The refreshing sensation made Chu Huaixu feel somewhat ethereal.

Minds were cleared, thoughts clearer than ever!

Suddenly, he was dumbfounded.

Because he heard a system notification sound.

“Ding! Congratulations, your comprehension +1.”
