The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 3214 - 3189: Unfathomable!

During these times at the Zhang family, Lin Bai had been diligently practicing his sword skills.

With the endless days and nights of training the "Tearless Jianghu" sword skill divine powers, Lin Bai gradually felt that he seemed to be touching the barrier of the First Level of the Wending Realm, with his cultivation about to step into the Second Level of the Wending Realm.

"Have I unknowingly reached the peak of the First Level of the Wending Realm?" Lin Bai was somewhat surprised.

At this moment, Su Jin drank a mouthful of strong liquor and chuckled, "This is the marvel of the sword skills within the Sword Scripture. Whenever a warrior practices a sword skill, they will use it to enhance their cultivation. On this Barbaric Ancient Continent, only the sword skills within the Sword Scripture have such miraculous effects, even unmatched by other God Level cultivation skills."

Lin Bai laughed, "So, does that mean in the future I don’t need to sit down cross-legged to cultivate anymore? I can just practice swords, improving both my sword skills and cultivation?"

Su Jin nodded, "Exactly, or why else do you think the Longhe Governor wanted so much to obtain the Sword Scripture?"

Lin Bai smiled slightly, pondering slowly in his heart, secretly saying, "The sword skill divine powers within the Sword Scripture are definitely not as simple as they appear on the surface. Before, the few characters I found within the Sword Scripture happened to form a sentence."

"Heavenly God Realm, Hongye Valley, my name is... Nanming Daozun!"

"If I’m not mistaken, this set of sword skills should be the legacy of this Nanming Daozun!"

"And the Jian Lake only obtained a remnant scroll. If I want to obtain this Nanming Daozun’s Sword Scripture, I estimate that I still need to make a trip to Hongye Valley to find this Nanming Daozun!"

"But where exactly is this Heavenly God Realm?"

Lin Bai frowned and thought for a long time, finally with a flash in his eyes, blurting out: "Divine Tomb!"

"Could it be that the so-called Heavenly God Realm is related to the Divine Tomb?"

Lin Bai was taken aback.

Seeing Lin Bai standing silently in the courtyard, Su Jin whispered, "Since you have now mastered the first sword skill divine power, there’s no need to rush. For now, it’s better to focus on breaking through your realm first."

"The cultivation at the First Level of the Wending Realm is, although not weak, still not enough in the Central Holy Nation!"

Lin Bai nodded silently and said, "I’ve been thinking of ways to break through for the past few days, but I don’t have any miraculous elixirs on me. If I want to break through in a short time, it depends on fate and opportunity!"

Su Jin said, "For a Wending Realm Warrior to break through the realm, there are only two ways!"

"The first way is to spend time sitting cross-legged, comprehending heaven and earth, and seizing fortune, to achieve a breakthrough!"

"But this method takes too long."

"This is what’s called retreat, and some people can’t break through from the First Level to the Second Level of the Wending Realm even after decades."

"The second way is to use miraculous elixirs!"

"Precious elixirs and rare spiritual objects can assist a warrior in breaking through!"

"But although this method doesn’t take much time, it costs a lot. Buying elixirs and spiritual medicine that help in breaking through the Wending Realm costs an exorbitant price."

"In the Central Holy Nation, a breakthrough elixir typically costs ten thousand spirit crystals!"

Su Jin shook his head and said.

Lin Bai listened carefully to Su Jin’s words.

Su Jin laughed, "But Lin Bai, you’re fortunate, with a not yet very high cultivation, unlike some warriors in Great Perfection of the Wending Realm. When they want to break through to the Taoist Realm and want to buy elixirs with spirit crystals, there’s no elixir on this Barbaric Ancient Continent that can break through to the Taoist Realm, so they can only shut the Life and Death Pass!"

"It’s also because there’s no elixir on the Barbaric Ancient Continent for Wending Realm warriors to break through to the Taoist Realm that there’s so many ancestor-level strong ones in retreat!"

Lin Bai chuckled, "What is a spirit crystal?"

Su Jin drank another mouthful of strong liquor and took out a blue stone the size of a fingernail from his bosom, which was crystal clear and brilliantly beautiful, like a dazzling gem.

But this stone was more precious than a gem, because Lin Bai felt a powerful spiritual power fluctuation from within.

Su Jin said, "This is a spirit crystal, the kind produced on the Barbaric Ancient Continent, all blue spirit crystals like this, as for other colors, no one has seen them yet."

"The ore vein of spirit crystals is only in the Central Holy Nation, hence spirit crystals are the exclusive currency for transactions there!"

"Lin Bai, don’t underestimate this tiny spirit crystal. This little piece of spirit crystal is worth a million spirit liquid!"

"And the spiritual power within the spirit crystal is precisely equivalent to a million spirit liquid!"

"Thus, the transaction currency on the Barbaric Ancient Continent officially has a grade."

"A million spiritual stones are exchanged for ten jin of spirit liquid."

"A million spirit liquid is exchanged for one spirit crystal."

As Su Jin spoke, he tossed the spirit crystal to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai held the spirit crystal in his hand and examined it carefully for a long time, then said in amazement, "This little spirit crystal the size of a fingernail contains spiritual power equivalent to a million spirit liquid, this is simply unbelievable."

Su Jin laughed, "There’s something even more unbelievable!"

"Oh? What else?" Lin Bai looked at Su Jin curiously.

Su Jin whispered, "In the Imperial Capital of the Central Holy Nation, there’s a City Protection Array named... Eternal Sky Array!"

"This great array is reputed to be the first array on the Barbaric Ancient Continent, built by the Central Holy Nation over countless years, claiming to be an unbreakable great array!"

"However, once the Eternal Sky Array is activated, the spiritual energy it consumes reaches a sky-high price every second!"

"Once, when the Central Holy Nation faced a national crisis, they used all the spirit stones and liquid in the national treasury to activate the Eternal Sky Array. Although it was only active for three months, it consumed two-thirds of the Central Holy Nation’s treasury spirit liquid."

"Fortunately, during those three months, the Central Holy Nation found a way to turn defeat into victory, or else the Central Holy Nation would surely have been defeated."

"Later, knowing that the Eternal Sky Array was not easy to activate, the Emperor of the Central Holy Nation sent strong ones into the Divine Tomb to find spirit crystals with extremely potent spiritual power to bring back!"

"Years later, an ancestor of the Central Holy Nation returned to the Barbaric Ancient Continent heavily wounded, bringing back a fist-sized seven-colored spirit crystal."

"And this seven-colored spirit crystal became the base of spiritual energy for the Eternal Sky Array."

"According to the Celestial Monitoring Ministry’s investigation, this one seven-colored spirit crystal is enough to sustain the activation of the Eternal Sky Array for three years!"

Lin Bai exclaimed, "That long? Doesn’t that mean the Central Holy Nation stands almost undefeated?"

Su Jin drank another mouthful of strong liquor and laughed, "Yes, and this seven-colored spirit crystal exists within the Celestial Monitoring Ministry!"

"Say, with such an important item inside the Celestial Monitoring Ministry, does the Central Holy Nation allow just anyone to enter?"

"Entering the Celestial Monitoring Ministry is as difficult as ascending to heaven!"

Su Jin whispered.
