After entering the city, Zong Shou spread out the God Refined Sword once more. He allowed it to lead him forward.
However, it didn’t head toward the palace at the center, but towards the east of the city.
The east was where the sun rose up from…
“Speaking of which, Xi Zi entered the tomb 10,000 years ago and went to the sky altar?”
Zong Shou was guessing what went on, but he didn’t dare to put his guard down.
A 190 swords were spread out 1,000 feet around him. That One Origin Soul Sword was also projected outside of the body.
After he forged the sword, this One Origin Sword using the Xiantian Purple Geng Metal Energy as the foundations and was several times stronger than before.
However, Zong Shou had just bound to it and he hadn’t nourished it fully, so it was still at the sword fetus stage. With that being said, he could barely use it right now.
After it appeared, one could see a human shaped person, similar to Zong Shou, guiding the sword.
This was Zong Shou’s True Image Dharma, but it was formed by his second soul.
The meaning of the original sword artifact was just like another incarnation, another Zong Shou.
Apart from doubling his strength, it had another great use.
As long as the One Origin Sword wasn’t destroyed, then even if his soul was wiped out, Zong Shou could use this sword artifact to revive.
He could even form an incarnation to do things for him tens of thousands of miles away.
However, his Illusionary Spirit Sword Forging Technique was still not completed and he hadn’t finished a complete second soul. Thus, he could only treat it as a normal sword, an extra strength to help himself.
The greatest benefit was that he didn’t need to be distracted and control it while still being able to use 60% of its strength.
As it was the King Path Sword, when the sword used King Path Martial Arts, it would exceed the strength of when his main body used it.
Actually, it was a little risky to use it so early.
If he damaged the foundations, it would affect the quality of the One Origin Soul Sword in the future.
However, at this moment, the dangerous situation within the Qin Emperor Tomb forced him to use each and every bit of power he had.
Not only him, but it was also the same for Shen Yuexuan, Yuan Wushang, and Chuxue.
Even Su Xiaoxiao took out several Celestial Treasures and using the power of talismans she formed a protective formation around her.
The deeper one went in, the more the suppression one felt from the Dragon Formation.
It was like another world, creating different laws outside of the laws of the original world.
Zong Shou’s face became more and more serious. He understood why those End Realm Saint Venerables 10,000 years ago feared the Qin Emperor so much.
In this world, no matter what kind of Celestial Treasure, no matter what kind of army one gathered, no matter what formation, one wouldn’t be able to force one through into an End Realm cultivator. At most, one could buff themselves to reach Saint Realm Peak or half a step End Realm.
1
God Venerables could do so, but at the End Realm level, many were crushed by the faith of the people and lost their minds.
This was why the moment one became a Saint Venerable and had the Indestructible Body, one was invincible. Apart from other End Realm or using God Treasures, no one would be able to fight them.
A ruler might have been strong, but once he left the country, then he was nothing.
However, this Qin Emperor gathered the Qi Cultivators and the Mohists and did something else.
He caused the laws, the End Realm Power to be suppressed under the rules that they placed.
Since no matter what, one wouldn’t be able to enter End Realm, then they would pull End Realm Saint Venerables down!
A portion of this Dragon Formation was definitely done by the Legalism Faction that year!
With Zong Shou’s conjecture, in this place, the stronger one was, the higher one’s realm, the more one would be suppressed.
Simply put, the more one understood and relied on the laws, the more restricted one would be.
This was Zong Shou, who was only at peak Celestial Realm, would be suppressed less.
He grasped Late Spirit Realm Sword Intent, it was the extreme instantiation of killing laws.
No matter how he adjusted it, it could only reach initial Spirit Realm here.
This was why in Xianyang City, his combat strength was reduced by 30%!
Each time he got closer to the palace, that powerless feeling would become more apparent.
If an End Realm Saint Venerable came here, he would be suppressed to Saint Realm.
Once one broke away from the Dao that one originally relied on, there would be a chance that they could be killed.
“Speaking of which, Xi Zi really is bold. Entering this tomb, isn’t he afraid he would be killed by the 12 Copper Men? However, if he had such a personality, he wouldn’t risk entering the Cloud World to obtain that treasure.”
Those 12 Copper Men along with the Dragon Formation here were pretty much the work of the heavens.
Such that for someone like Xi Zi to take the risk to come in, he had to have a really good reason.
Zong Shou shook his head and retracted his gaze from the west, from that Afang Palace.
He was filled with anticipation. With what was going on with the God Refined Sword, his Senior Master might have really left something within.
He didn’t hope for something that would cause his combat strength to rise and something that would turn the tides of the entire situation. He just needed Xi Zi to leave some clues regarding the 12 Copper Men and this formation. Or something that was related to the rise and fall of Common People’s Path, or the treasures within.
Among the five, Zong Shou was still okay. Dual Meridian Body, Dual Soul Body, and his soul power were pretty much endless.
Even if he had to maintain the Illusionary Heart Mirror and the Life and Death Switch, he could support it.
Sweat beads appeared on Su Xiaoxiao’s head. To cast the technique on a large scale, along with the suppression of the Dragon Formation, made it tough for her to support it.
Vital energy surged and her face turned red. However, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t complain about it and she didn’t show her lack of energy. Her face was filled with determination like she would be willing to die for her lover.
Chuxue couldn’t take it anymore and causally tossed her Blood Moon Blade to Su Xiaoxiao.
Not only was Shen Yuexuan and Yuan Wushang shocked, but even Su Xiaoxiao, who grabbed it, was stunned.
This God Weapon had half a Borrow word. In her hand, she could forcefully borrow the seven emotional powers around to maintain her technique.
However, how could one give such a God Weapon so easily?
She looked over with a weird gaze to see Chuxue scoff. She casually moved her head away, “Don’t misunderstand! I am just worried that there are too many corpses her and you will drag master down. I don’t care whether or not someone like you dies or not.”
What she meant was that she was worried about Zong Shou and didn’t pity Su Xiaoxiao.
Chuxue said weirdly, “Why are there so many corpses here, both male and female? Did that Qin Emperor not only replicate the city but also bury everyone inside?”
Although there weren’t any corpse troops here, it wasn’t totally empty.
Inside, there were many males and females moving about. Although there was a thick corpse energy, they looked like normal people.
Such that although Xianyang City looked prosperous, it was also the reason why Su Xiaoxiao found it so tough.
Zong Shou smiled and didn’t reply. Chuxue, that brat, was someone who was tough on the outside, but soft on the inside.
However, whether or not that blade was in her hands or not at this point didn’t matter.
In this place, she faced the smallest restrictions.
That was because in the normal world she didn’t care about laws and Dao and just fought on instinct.
At this place, even if a peak Saint Realm expert fought her, he might not have been able to beat her.
“How is that possible?”
Shen Yuexuan said expressionlessly, “The Qin Emperor made 300 million convicts build this tomb and after that many disappeared. People then guessed that it should have been to keep the location of a tomb a secret which was why they all were buried as well. This was also one of the reasons why the world revolted after he died.”
As he was speaking, the five of them saw a green-robed person walk over.
He looked young, not bothered about being noticed by the corpses around. His body gave off a really sharp sword intent.
Just one look and Zong Shou recognized who he was.
“Gongyuan?”
This person was actually in the tomb too!
From start to finish, Gongyuan stared at Zong Shou, there seemed to be a fire burning in his eyes.
“I have waited here for long! Why did you take so long? How disappointing…”
Each step was like a drum, beating at his heart.
Every 10 feet he moved forward, that sword intent would become stronger.
A full 12 swords appeared behind him, causing his aura and location to be tough to gauge.
“Your Illusionary techniques are amazing! Along with the Yuan Demon Seven Emotion Technique, it should be flawless. If I didn’t have such a treasure, I wouldn’t have found you, how lucky! I hope to end our grievances today! What do you think?”
When he said this, a sword light that looked like it came from outside of this world ripped open the space.
It looked like it was right in front of them as it slashed at Zong Shou. However, the five of them couldn’t see where it came from.
Swapping between Real and Illusionary, Heaven Movement No Tracks!
Zong Shou’s Ten Extreme Imperial Dao Destruction Sword Formation activated and gave off numerous streaks of sword energies that ripped open space. It only caused the sword light to stop a little.
However, Chuxue also slashed out. Other people couldn’t sense it. She didn’t care, sword light like rain, free and flexible. A series of rings and clangs sounded out in the air as the Heaven Movement Son Sword was forced to appear and retract.
After entering the city, Zong Shou spread out the God Refined Sword once more. He allowed it to lead him forward.
However, it didn’t head toward the palace at the center, but towards the east of the city.
The east was where the sun rose up from…
