Chapter Twenty-Six: The Beginning of Cultivation
"It's like a fairyland!" Ai Xingyan shouted loudly as he ran.
Morton followed expectantly, his face covered with tenderness.
I remember the last time I came, Issel wasn't much older than him...
As Morton's thoughts drifted slightly, a silver-white fawn suddenly sprang out of the grass and slammed lightly into Ai Xingyan's chest.
Just as the prince was about to react, it looked anxious again, and with a low groan, it turned away, looking back from time to time.
Looking at its cute appearance, Ai Xingyan couldn't help but smile.
"They're not used to your presence yet, so try to build a good relationship with them, kid." Morton reminded quietly.
"Well, I'll treat them like my own family." Ai Xingyan said sincerely.
"Also, there are a lot of sweet berries in the grass, so if you're thirsty, you might as well pick some," said Morton, a little uneasy.
Ai Xingyan turned around, and he found that in the center of the secret room, there was a marble palace-like structure.
"This is just the outermost 'evergreen greenhouse', and since it was maintained by ancient magic, it has always been the most intriguing place in the Sword God Secret Room." Morton said.
As soon as the words fell, Ai Xingyan pushed open the door of the building.
Morton smiled, he knew that Ai Xingyan would definitely be surprised by the magical thing next.
What he expected was good, but in the next second, Ai Xingyan covered his head in a panic.
"It's not going to be a nightmare," he whispered in disbelief.
In front of him, countless white dragons with sparkling waves were floating in unison, covering the sky above the secret room, growing tiny wings like spirit snakes.
"Don't be afraid, kid. They're just guarding the place, and as long as you're not a bad guy, they're all right to tell. Morton was amiable and taught on the sidelines.
"But..."Ai Xingyan hesitantly removed his hands, and sure enough, the next moment, You Long all shrank back, and seemed to have recognized Ai Xingyan's identity as the new master.
"Now I see," Morton touched Ai Xingyan's head again.
"If the person who comes is not pure-minded, or even has the worst crime, then these swimming dragons will leave him with no bones in an instant."
"This is the Hall of the Phantom Sword, according to legend, everything in it is made of incomparably precious phantom silver, and you look at the three boulders in front of you."
Ai Xingyan looked fixedly, and the sky blue thing that grew in the water of the energy pool in front of him instantly attracted his attention.
He couldn't help but reach out and touch it, and his face shone with divine brilliance.
The pure energy gradually converged into his palm, and in just a few moments, he felt refreshed, and the lost physical strength was suddenly full.
"This stone is truly amazing!" Ai Xingyan shouted with joy.
"Yes, this is the 'Stone of Abundance', even after a thousand years, the magic power will not decay, and legend has it that it is the embodiment of the magical magic of the ancient elves..."
Immediately, Ai Xingyan turned his gaze to the white boulder on the side.
"Does this piece also have the same characteristics as just now?"
Morton shook his head: "It's a little different, it can't restore your exhausted physical strength, but it can restore your consciousness and mind to its original state in an instant, which is more beneficial than the one just now..."
"They can all be used indefinitely, and as long as they are still around, you will never get tired, and naturally you can spend longer practicing your sword."
"Its name is 'Enlightenment Stone'."
However, not long after, Ai Xingyan found another colored stone.
"Be careful, there's a good chance that the magic on this stone will come back to you." Under Morton's solemn reminder, Ai Xingyan instantly withdrew his curious hands.
"It's for special people who practice swordsmanship and magic at the same time, and in addition to directly restoring all their magical power, it seems to have another magical function."
"Alright, now, let's move on to the next stop." Morton pushed open a quaint wooden door inside the room, and an unknown library came into view.
Rows of mahogany bookshelves inlaid with delicate patterns stretched, and countless precious books filled all the gaps in between.
"Wow... Which of these should I pick to read? Ai Xingyan cautiously walked to the bookshelf.
"All right, these are the world's most accomplished texts, bringing together all the swordsmanship and magic of the ages, as well as the mechanics and science that continue to this day."
In the next second, Morton's figure floated by.
Soon, there was an extra step of silver-white swordsmanship in his hand.
"It's silver swordsmanship!" Ai Xingyan saw the shiny words on the cover.
"It looks like someone has turned it over, though." After taking the book, Ai Xingyan was keenly aware of this.
"It's your grandfather and father." Morton replied with emotion: "Silver swordsmanship is one of the highest swordsmanship in the world, except for the unique book of royal inheritance, it should only be seen here." ”
"Issel was very optimistic about the sword moves in your cultivation back then..."Morton patted him on the back.
"It is said that as long as you can comprehend and cultivate all the moves in it, you will be able to become a god and have the power to change all fate."
"Your father, and even your brother, have only learned part of it."
Suddenly, the memories of his childhood quietly surfaced in Ai Xingyan's heart.
Master has never hidden anything from me... I must grow up until I solve the mystery of the Silver Wing... He said to himself in his heart.
At the same time, the two of them began to move towards the backyard of the secret room.
Ai Xingyan was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a huge blue fountain here, and many exquisite angel reliefs were built inside the fountain, and every time the sky-clear water droplets touched the ground, a divine magic ripple would ripple.
In addition, there are two buttons, one red and one yellow, on the edge of the fountain.
Morton stepped forward and gently pressed the red one.
The ground collapsed in an instant, and a number of mechanical golems armed with swords rose up.
"Note that these robots are peerless masters, and their numbers will increase over time, but the most important thing is that you will only succeed in your cultivation if you defeat them all."
"Otherwise, you'll be stuck here forever, completely insulated from reality."
Immediately, he pressed the yellow button again, and the sword array disappeared completely in an instant.
After a while, they returned to the wilderness, only to see a bright red maple forest.
"It's called 'Sophia's Heartbreak', and legend has it that Alex's bones are buried here."
"In order to protect the ancient world, he died in the battle against the Dark Lord, but his soul was immortalized."
"His wife, Princess Sophia, buried him here and shed tears of grief at the end."
"The moment the magical tears touch the land, the maple groves that flutter in the autumn wind begin to form."
"Before, it was a grassy field."
"People were filled with emotion, and since then, the legend of the god of the beginning of the stars has come to an end."
Ai Xingyan continued to walk forward, and at this time, he found many golden portals.
"Can you go to other worlds just by passing through them?" Ai Xingyan asked.
"Maybe... There are ten of these things scattered throughout the maple forest, but most of them are sealed, supposedly because they connect to the 'other world'. ”
"So, it's a forbidden place again."
"Okay, that's probably the way the Sword God Secret Room looks, from now on, you will practice here until you break free from all shackles and stand out."
