The sword eats the world

Chapter 24 Temple Quest
King's capital!

The power center of the Ziyun Empire, the spiritual symbol of the [-] million people, and the location of the temple!Various factors make the entire imperial capital of the Ziyun Empire unbelievably prosperous. Even Lingyun, who has seen a super big city like Shanghai, can't help but be surprised by this prosperous city. He can't imagine a third-level city in this world. The royal capital of the empire can actually prosper to such an extent.

People, the streets are full of people.Looking at the past, countless figures filled the entire field of vision regularly and chaotically, without any boundaries.On some main streets, horse-drawn carriages lined up in a fleet of kilometers long, slowly moving forward.The nearly 20-meter-wide street barely guarantees the smoothness of the road, but the traffic jams that appear from time to time almost make Ling Yun think that he has returned to the highly developed industrial cities of the 21st century.

"Just one third-level empire has such a huge population base. It is said that there are no less than 30 third-level empires in the entire continent. Based on this calculation, the population of the entire world is at least over 300 trillion!" Ling Yun said for the first time. I was surprised by the huge structure of this world. Apart from being surprised, I was even more excited: "At least 300 trillion people, what kind of brilliant fighting spirit civilization will be created by the wisdom essence condensed by so many people? Seventh-level , Eighth-rank, and Ninth-rank sword masters... how strong are they?"

Ling Yun, who was no longer invincible on earth, once again glowed with infinite fighting spirit from the bottom of his heart.

Countless sword masters who can challenge, sufficient and rich aura of heaven and earth... This planet is so beautiful.

Thinking of what he was proud of, Ling Yun couldn't help feeling relieved, his whole face was radiant, and his spirits shone brightly. The original state of mind that had entered the congenital Mahayana peak from the earth and fell silent, actually moved slightly again, and there was a faint breakthrough. meaning trend.

However, condensing the sword soul is based on qi and soul. Although his state of mind is sufficient at the moment, the Ninety-nine Supreme Sword Qi in his body, which is only at the innate peak, cannot be integrated into the spirit to evolve a personal sword soul. If now If he couldn't bear to condense the soul of the sword ahead of time, his spirit would collapse and his brain would be paralyzed, which would be his only end.

After settling his slightly agitated mind, Ling Yun found a rather luxurious hotel to live in. He must first find a way to improve his cultivation.

After practicing in the forest for two full years, he encountered countless kinds of monsters. After killing the monsters, Ling Yun also got some good quality magic cores.When he entered a small town near the capital, he had already sold these magic cores, earning enough money to live comfortably for the time being.His tattered clothes were also changed in the tailor shop in the small town.Otherwise, if he entered the royal capital with his previous savage-like image, he would have to be arrested by soldiers for affecting the city's appearance and sent to prison.

In the restaurant, Ling Yun tasted the delicacy in the world that he hadn't tasted for two years, and at the same time looked out of the window at the huge and immeasurably magnificent temple near the palace.

This temple was originally not so terrifying in size, but in order to please the gods, the rulers of the Ziyun Empire invested a lot of honor and merit in the appearance of the temple, and the decoration of the whole temple far surpassed that of the palace buildings, becoming the entire empire. The most famous first temple in the temple.

After staring at the huge tower shadow for a moment, Ling Yun withdrew his gaze.

The main function of the temple is to provide sufficient energy for cultivation and the exchange of various magical treasures.But now Ling Yun didn't have any meritorious service at all, even if he went to the temple to see some treasures, it would only be a moment of covetousness, and it would have no practical significance at all.

There are four main ways to gain merit in this world.

The first is cultivation.After reaching the level of a sword master, every time a promotion is certified, you will be able to go to the temple and receive certain honors and merits.The higher the occupation you are promoted to, the more honors you will receive in your field.

The second is to create a set of superb sword skills by yourself. As long as you contribute this set of sword skills to the temple and get the approval of the temple, you can get a lot of honor and meritorious rewards.

The third is to accept the tasks issued by the temple.However, the missions issued by the temple are generally extremely difficult, and every mission is a gamble of a near-death situation. Going rashly without a certain level of strength is no different from death.

The fourth way is also the way to get the most honors and merits.That is the "Sword Fighting World Conference", which is established by the gods personally, with one match every ten years and one match every hundred years.Anyone, as long as they achieve impressive results in the same level of battle, can immediately get a lot of merit.Especially for the No.1 powerhouse, the rewards he will eventually receive are simply incalculable.Therefore, even the sword master who is most passionate about cultivation cannot remain indifferent when faced with the astonishing reward of the "Sword Fighting World Conference".

The century-old competition is almost equivalent to a ranking battle to select all the masters in the entire continent.

……

Sitting in the restaurant, Ling Yun looked at the people passing by, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart how much this world loves swords and martial arts.

Swordsman!Swordsman!Still a swordsman!

All the people passing by on the street wore swords without exception!Long swords, giant swords, wide swords, heavy swords... all kinds of sword styles are either worn or carried by many warriors, and they are constantly dangling in front of people's eyes. The famous sword of the sword is on display.

Under the influence of the Lord of the Divine Sword, the whole world has become a world of swords.

While Ling Yun was looking around at the crowd, a man in yellow came upstairs in a hurry, his eyes quickly searched for something in the restaurant, when he saw a man in green sitting in the corner, his eyes immediately lit up: "Green Head Han, you've worked hard all the way, but counting the time, it's finally in time." His voice didn't restrain himself deliberately, it was quite loud in this relatively high-end restaurant, and it was impossible for others to notice him or not.

"Qinghan!? The leader of the mythical mercenary regiment—Qinghan, the swordsman of Beiming!?" As soon as the yellow-clothed man spoke, everyone who had been chatting stopped suddenly, and they all turned to the man in green-clothed man he was pointing at. look.

The man in green frowned slightly, took out a piece of silver from his pocket, put it on the table and said: "Shopkeeper, pay the bill!" The cyan sword at the waist swayed slightly, exuding a trace of cold air.

Out of the instinct of a kendo master, Ling Yun glanced at the sword slightly, and immediately understood: "Crafted from the blue ice stone in the deep sea, and tempered by an expert, this sword is forged! The sword holder is affected by the cold air of the sword, Not only can it keep calm to deal with the enemy at all times, but it can also have a certain increase effect on the ice attribute grudge."

"Captain Qinghan, wait for me." The man in yellow hurriedly chased him out.

As soon as Qing Han left, the quiet restaurant immediately became lively: "It really is Qing Han from Beiming Sword! I can feel the cold air on Beiming Sword!"

As soon as the chat clip was opened, some well-informed people immediately echoed: "Even the deputy head, Qing Han, has come all the way here. It seems that the Mythical Mercenary Group really plans to do something big this time."

"You mean, about the mission of the temple?"

"Exactly. As the largest mercenary group in our Ziyun Empire, the mythical mercenary group has extremely powerful forces. However, in recent days, their various performances have been greatly questioned. Especially a month ago The failure of the Huashang Bank's mission made the reputation of their mercenary regiment drop to the bottom. If they don't do something sensational, their throne as the number one mercenary regiment of the Ziyun Empire may be lost. I can't keep it any longer."

"I've heard of this too. One of my cousins ​​has some friends in the Mythical Mercenary Corps. According to them, the Mercenary Corps has mobilized all swordsmen above the seventh level and is going to go to the temple to accept the mission in ten days. Go to the Gray Forest!"

"Grey Forest!? This is impossible. With the danger of the Gray Forest, even sword masters dare not break into it easily! The strength of the mythical mercenary group is indeed strong, but the majestic sword master is the imperial family." He will also try his best to win over the existence, how can he, a small mercenary group, be able to retain it? How can they have such confidence that they dare to go to the gray forest to carry out the mission?"

This person's question was immediately supported by the vast majority of people, and someone immediately echoed: "It is already a great achievement for them to be able to come back alive from the Gray Forest, let alone the To complete the mission. As far as I know, there are no two ninth-level powerhouses to open the way, and they can't even go to the area where the mission items are located. Looking at the entire mythical mercenary group, the ninth-level powerhouse is only Yuerou from the Changkong team. With her leading the team alone, let alone completing the task, it is very problematic to get out unscathed."

Hearing his analysis, everyone immediately felt that it made sense, and sighed softly one by one: "This mythical mercenary group has been forced to this point, it seems that they have no choice but to resort to dangerous moves."

"Yes, but I'm not optimistic about the Myth Mercenary Group's move."

There were also people who held different opinions and responded: "But if the mythical mercenary group can really rely on a ninth-level strongman to complete the mission of the temple, then the honors and feats they will get will definitely be a huge number. It will be around the corner.”

"Do you want to complete this task with a ninth-level expert? Is it possible? Although Miss Yuerou is known as the most promising ninth-level master in our Ziyun Empire, she is not a real swordsman after all! Would a quasi-sword master want to complete a task that even a formal swordsman could not? It's simply a fantasy."

"If you don't complete it, you have to complete it. Do you know what the reward is for completing this four-star mission?"

"Reward? Isn't it a certain honor and merit? Will there be special items? I remember that there will be no item rewards for temple tasks that do not exceed five stars?"

"Hey, this is a four-star mission that even the swordsmen are not sure about completing. It is naturally very special. Otherwise, how could the mythical mercenary group work so hard?"

Hearing his appetite, everyone couldn't help being curious: "Brother, tell me, what rewards are there for this mission?"

The person who spoke leaned back with a serious face, and coughed a few times pretending to be uncomfortable: "After talking for so long, my throat is a bit dry..."

Before he finished speaking, an impatient guest immediately shouted: "Boss, go to Jiuyuehong!"

After a while, after serving the man well, he said in a leisurely manner: "This time the temple mission not only gave a lot of merit, but also rewarded a set of exercises. It is said that this set of exercises can help a seven-year-old A super swordsman has been practicing step by step to the level of a fourth-rank great swordsman!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present took a deep breath.

To be able to practice the skills of a fourth-tier great swordsman! !

Although these kinds of skills are nothing to swordsman-level masters, and can be redeemed through honor and meritorious deeds, they are not invaluable to swordsman-level people.

Sword master, is this the lifelong pursuit of many swordsman-level masters?No wonder the mythical mercenary regiment with the nine-level swordsman Yue Rou sitting in command will do everything possible to complete this task.

Hearing this, Ling Yun withdrew his thoughts, and turned to think: "The Dao is one! Is there any connection between the cultivation techniques of the fourth-level great sword master and the cultivation techniques I practiced myself? If I can get a reference One or two..."
