Urban Super Medical Sage Chapter 2561 - 2661: Sword Embryo, Unrest! (Second Update)
Previously on Urban Super Medical Sage...
"The young master is truly a talent blessed by the heavens!"
"The Young Master of the Demon-Worshipping Clan’s ’Demon Feed’ has been cultivated to such a level, and furthermore, he has developed his own Life-bound Demon Breath Divine Ability!"
"The young master is only over a thousand years old this year!"
"With the young master, this cycle of the Demon-Worshipping Clan will surely dominate the Grand Cosmos World."
...........
Time passes.
A few days later.
Within the Divine Mountain, martial cultivators are growing in number.
The atmosphere is inexplicably oppressive.
Above, the sky seems like it could collapse at any moment.
Continuously, purple lights and black clouds pass over the heavens.
The trees and flowers in the mountain range where the Divine Mountain is located seemingly became dead overnight, withering away!
The original demon beasts, wild beasts, and other creatures in the Divine Mountain seemed to have disappeared overnight, with their howls and cries nowhere to be heard.
"Young Master!!! To the south!"
Two elders of the Demon-Worshipping Clan suddenly shouted, "The Transformation Platform is about to appear!"
Their voices brimmed with excitement.
The detection instruments in the elders’ hands were almost shattering, vibrating fiercely as they pointed toward the south.
"Let’s go!" The young man in black robes, Wu Tun, lifted his head directly, pulled down the soft hat on his black robes, revealing a pale yet overwhelmingly confident and domineering face, he uttered one word, then his form strangely vaporized into a black stream of air, seemingly a rapidly undulating black wind, sweeping toward the south.
In the meantime.
Inside the Transformation Secret Realm.
Su Chen was immersed in the world of sword training.
The sword in his hand was swung with increasing speed.
Initially, it was just according to Jiuyou’s words: since in this secret realm, there is a trace, however faint, of the taste of a sword, then practice the sword; perhaps, in the state of a complete Sword Heart, you might be able to use a pair of Sword Eyes to find something special in the secret realm.
But as he practiced.
He visibly submerged himself into it.
Meanwhile.
"Buzz... buzz... buzz..." The detector in Feng Xi’s hand was resonating, pointing toward the south.
Feng Xi was very anxious.
Because the Transformation Platform is about to appear.
"Miss Li, the Transformation Platform is about to emerge, Su Chen, he..."
"Let’s wait a bit longer." Li Qingxuan watched Su Chen, speaking.
Just at that moment.
Suddenly, the originally closed-eyed Su Chen abruptly opened his eyes.
A flash of Sword Light burst from his eyes.
Returning to calmness.
"Is the Transformation Platform about to emerge? Miss Feng, if you’re anxious, you can go first." Su Chen turned his head and glanced at Feng Xi.
"What about you?" Feng Xi asked.
"To me, perhaps, the Divinity isn’t as important as another thing." Su Chen replied nonchalantly.
He had found it.
Just as Jiuyou had said.
In the pure immersion of the sword’s state, he seemed to have opened Sword Eyes.
He saw more clearly and accurately the places related to the sword within this secret realm.
"Something more important than Divinity?" Feng Xi was somewhat bewildered, naturally unconvinced: "Su Chen, if you don’t get the Divinity, then it will surely fall into the hands of the Young Master of the Demon-Worshipping Clan."
Su Chen smiled and shook his head, saying nothing more.
Just because Wu Tun might obtain the Divinity, does it mean he can absorb it shortly?
Even if he absorbs the Divinity, will he immediately become a god and be an adversary, then?
Naive.
Su Chen stepped forward.
Walking ahead.
Soon.
He stopped in front of a lake stone.
A simple lake stone, standing in the pool.
Approximately one meter in height.
About half a meter in width.
Oddly jagged, indeed having some charm, yet only for appreciation.
Regardless of who enters, they would glance at it and then ignore it.
For a martial cultivator, a lake stone serves no purpose.
"But although you hide deeply, you cannot escape my perception." Su Chen faced that lake stone, smiling.
The Ancient Dust Sword in his hand suddenly raised.
The sword moved.
A gleam of Sword Light split that lake stone into two.
Not far away, both Li Qingxuan and Feng Xi, stared wide-eyed at Su Chen, curious...
As the lake stone split into two.
"Ah!" Both Feng Xi and Li Qingxuan’s faces turned pale, instinctively covering their eyes, which stung sharply, as within the split of the lake stone, a blinding flash passed.
"Sword Embryo." Yet Su Chen’s eyes were as sharp as extremes, reaching for the white light swiftly.
Quick, accurate, and ruthlessly.
The white light dispersed.
A sword-shaped jade pendant, bluish-white, appeared in Su Chen’s palm.
Very small.
Only about an inch.
But lying in his palm, it gave Su Chen the feeling of drifting within a sea of swords.
"The legendary Sword Embryo!" Su Chen gazed at it, his heart not at rest.
Sword Embryo.
Rare.
Throughout the Grand Cosmos World, no one had ever heard of anyone obtaining a Sword Embryo.
The Sword Embryo is something bestowed by the Great Dao, above the Heavenly Dao at the very beginning, containing the most pure and essential sword path’s Spiritual Core.
The Sword Embryo bears the role of introducing sword cultivators into the previously monotonous Grand Cosmos World.
In other words, the Sword Embryo is the progenitor of the sword path in the Grand Cosmos World.
All sword paths in the Grand Cosmos World, tracing back to their origin, stem from the Sword Embryo.
Due to this, billions of years ago, the Great Dao’s bestowed Sword Embryos, possibly ten pieces, perhaps twenty pieces, were ambiguously acquired by the first humans to develop Spiritual Wisdom, who started on the sword cultivation path.
The piece in Su Chen’s hand might very well be the only one never located or obtained, continuously hidden within the lake stone.
"The sword path within the Sword Embryo is pure, attribute-free, meaning it can be directly absorbed, without interfering with my own sword path, only solidifying, intensifying, and deepening my sword path," Su Chen murmured, his heart elated.
Absorbing a Sword Embryo.
Perhaps his Divine Eight-Stages Peak Sword Rhyme can progress further?
Reaching the legendary Nine Stages of Sword Rhyme.
Nine is the extreme number.
That is, the strongest.
Will achieving the Nine Stages of Sword Rhyme bring a qualitative change?
Su Chen was eager.
Obtaining a Sword Embryo was an immensely strong acquisition for Su Chen.
In comparison, Su Chen almost lost most of his interest in the Divinity.
The next moment.
He sat cross-legged decisively.
He was about to absorb the Sword Embryo.
Time began to flow.
Feng Xi transitioned from initial anxiety and eagerness to calmness, experiencing an emotional journey.
She didn’t know what treasure Su Chen had obtained, seemingly more important than Divinity to him.
Yet she realized, if Su Chen wasn’t willing to accompany her, she couldn’t compete for the Divinity alone, even risking her life.
Is she Wu Tun’s adversary? Mo Wentian’s adversary? She’s neither.
Therefore, gradually, she relinquished her desire for Divinity, left with helplessness, watching Su Chen, patiently waiting.
Su Chen, immersed in the world of the Sword Embryo.
Excited, thrilled.
Continually verifying his sword path.
