Eternal Sword Monarch

0Although Xia Ling had easily repelled two opponents, Bai Lou was not happy at all.    

    

Even the young girl who wasn't good at medicine could tell that Xia Ling's current situation wasn't that good.    

    

At this moment, they had already left the inn they had just battled in. Anyway, that place was now in ruins. He moved to a clean cave in the wilderness.    

    

The Guo Family still had quite a bit of influence in the local area. Should they let them take the dumplings?    

    

When they arrived, it was Bai Lou who brought Xia Ling here. At that time, the young man's arm was on Bai Lou's shoulder. Through her skin, the young girl could clearly feel that his arm was burning, and was still trembling slightly.    

    

Bai Lou was well aware of this, which was a consequence of using too much power.    

    

"Hey, weren't you amazing last night? Why are you …" Bai Lou asked after looking at Xia Ling's tired expression.    

    

If he knew that he would be in the same situation as he was today, he would have gone up to help him. That would be better, wouldn't it?    

    

Xia Ling's voice had a hint of panting and weakness, but he was still determined: "Now is not the time to talk about this, go to my sword …"    

    

When he came here earlier, the Old Dragon Sword was carried by Bai Lou.    

    

"Huh?" This caused the young girl to feel somewhat puzzled. At a time like this, he didn't care about her injuries, but he still wanted a sword?    

    

Now that there were no enemies, what was he going to do?    

    

Even though she thought that in her heart, Bai Lou did not delay any further and handed the Old Dragon Sword over without hesitation. Xia Ling did not have time to say anything, he immediately grabbed the sword hilt and poured the Genuine Qi into it.    

    

Just when he wanted to see how the Old Dragon Sword was doing, his consciousness seemed to have sunk into a limitless maze of darkness, and he instantly lost consciousness …    

    

In his daze, Xia Ling felt as if his soul was wandering in some ethereal gas. A dignified voice came from afar and said, "Small mortal, are you the owner of this sword?"    

    

His voice seemed to contain a mysterious power that wanted to oppress one's soul.    

    

However, this kind of power made Xia Ling sober up all of a sudden.    

    

He opened his eyes and saw endless darkness. However, there was a small ball of light not far away. It seemed as if it were in front of him, as if it were in the very ends of the sky, and impossible to reach. Vaguely, one could see a mighty and unfathomable gigantic body and sharp gigantic claws.    

    

Dragon … Is it?    

    

Xia Ling did not answer and continued, "Small mortal, could it be that you …"    

    

Xia Ling had already seen it clearly. He sneered and said loudly, "Who is so arrogant? How can the word 'tiny' be used on me?"    

    

Xia Ling was the last emperor of the world, and he was the only one who used his sword to prove his dao. He was an existence at the pinnacle of the universe! Even if it were a True Dragon, it was not qualified to act this way in front of him!    

    

However, this dragon didn't seem to recognize Xia Ling's identity. It only smiled and continued: "Thinking about it, you are the current owner of this sword right?"    

    

Xia Ling crossed his arms. He also wanted to see what this dragon was up to, so he replied straightforwardly, "That's right, I am the owner of this sword. What can I do for you?"    

    

The authoritative voice continued, "Since it's like this, then very good. I want to make a deal with you. "    

    

Trade? Xia Ling smiled and asked, "Since it's a deal, why don't you tell me about it?"    

    

The dragon seemed to be satisfied with Xia Ling's answer, and the light around him brightened up. His voice rumbled as he said, "Looking at your strength now, you are only at the middle stage of Vein Refining, right? "Even though it's already pretty good at your age, in the whole world, you're still nothing but an ant right?"    

    

"Moreover, on the path of cultivation, the higher the level of breakthrough, the more difficult it would be." There were many young geniuses that fell like meteors in the past. "    

    

Xia Ling nodded. He was not talking nonsense. Vein Refining rank was indeed not some kind of high and deep cultivation, and he did not even put Congealing Void rank in his eyes. Xia Ling was already mentally prepared for the difficulty of breaking through in the future.    

    

The divine dragon tried his best to slow down his voice and continued, "So. The path of cultivation is so dangerous, if I can have a bit of power, I can guarantee that you can break through to the Essencial Core Rank! Wouldn't that be a great thing? "    

    

Oh? Xia Ling raised his eyebrows and became interested. He opened his mouth and said, "Don't tell me that you still have the ability to guarantee a breakthrough?"    

    

If that was the case, then it was truly amazing! Xia Ling had roamed the world for so many years, but he had never found anyone with this kind of ability.    

    

It wouldn't be too much to call it miraculous!    

    

"Eh …. "No, no." Xia Ling could clearly hear the awkwardness in the voice. Apparently, this dragon didn't dare to admit such a magical thing.    

    

If he had that kind of ability, why would he try to trade with me here? Just simply say something and all the cultivators in the world would line up to serve him, okay?    

    

"However, I can make every breakthrough easier and smoother, and thus protect your meridians." The dragon continued to explain, "You should know that breaking through too quickly will cause your meridians to contract. Therefore, people experience how to automatically adjust the speed of their breakthroughs. This is also the reason why it is harder and harder to break through the higher one goes … "    

    

"But I can use my dragon qi to protect your meridians. This will greatly shorten the gap between each of your breakthroughs, and will greatly increase the speed of your breakthroughs! "    

    

This old dragon was extremely satisfied with his conditions. As a creature that had lived for tens of thousands of years, he was very clear on what the human cultivators wanted.    

    

The temptation of breaking through continuously was something no one could refuse!    

    

"Since it's a trade, what do I have to pay?" Xia Ling asked calmly.    

    

"You … "You need to …" The voice was clearly surprised. He originally thought that the youth would nod in agreement in ecstasy. He didn't expect him to be so calm.    

    

His mentality was this strong!    

    

This old dragon quickly adjusted his tone and said, "After you step onto the Essencial Core Rank, you need to hand over half of your strength to me. Help me break the shackles."    

    

Half of his strength? Xia Ling sneered. This old dragon was thinking quite well.    

    

"If half of our Essencial Core Rank is split in half, adding on to the fact that we are injured by the Genuine Qi, it would not be impossible for us to be directly lured down to the Congealing Void level! It's just that after I've been busy for so long, my strength still hasn't improved at all? " Xia Ling teased.    

    

This sentence revealed the essence of the so-called "deal", causing the voice to instantly become embarrassed, "No, how can you say that … As long as you have broken through the Essencial Core Rank, you would have a wide range of experience and experience. With the support of these items, it'll be much easier to break through … "    

    

Then he said affirmatively, "In short, I am much faster than you."    

    

Xia Ling shook his head.    

    

He was interested in the idea of using "dragon qi" to protect the meridians and increase the speed of breakthrough. However, abandoning half of his strength was a bit too much.    

    

If he had broken through by himself, he wouldn't have needed so much effort.    

    

But when he saw Xia Ling refuse, that old dragon got angry.    

0

    

He roamed the world for tens of thousands of years, and his strength was comparable to a powerful cultivator of the Limitless stage! If not for his soul being locked in this Old Dragon Sword, why would he lower himself to the level of condescension and quarrel with such a small middle stage Vein Refining cultivator?    

    

At his peak, this kind of cultivator was like dust in the air, and he would not even look at them!    

    

But now, even the Honored Warrior of the True Dragon had no choice but to threaten an ordinary young cultivator to serve him. He already felt humiliated.    

    

"I will give you another chance, insignificant mortal." This old dragon suppressed his anger and said, "You have to think carefully, this is not an opportunity anyone can have. If it were anyone else, I would probably be too happy... "    

    

"If not for the fact that you just so happened to have used your Qi to penetrate the sword's body, you would not have been able to see me in your spiritual sense!"
