Chapter 280: 29: The Sword Skill Will That Has Not Dispersed for a Thousand Years_2

“Your Highness, the sword quality on this floor is average. Let’s go directly to the third floor.”

“Alright.”

Zhao Huai nodded in agreement.

The two walked shoulder to shoulder onto the stairs. During the process, Elder Guan apologized to Zhao Huai, saying:

“Please don’t blame him, Your Highness. That’s just how his temperament is.” “Who is this old man Wang?”

“He’s in charge of watching the swords here in the sword pavilion, specifically in charge of preserving, wiping, and maintaining the good swords here. His strength isn’t strong, only having cultivation of the Golden Core Realm.”

“Sword guardian? I never thought there would be such a job in the sword pavilion.” Zhao Huai was very surprised. It was the first time he had heard of such a position.

Elder Guan nodded and said, “There’s no choice. There are more and more

Swords. In the sword pavilion, so someone nas to take care ot tnem. Old man Wang has been guarding the sword pavilion for hundreds of years without any problems.”

Zhao Huai remembered what the old man had just said and asked doubtfully, “Didn’t he say that we can’t touch those flying swords? If he needs to wipe and maintain them, won’t he be the most in contact?”

“He’s right. The flying swords here contain infinite killing intent, and the origin of their birth is countless. Some powerful flying swords even have their own consciousness, so ordinary people cannot touch them. But old man Wang is different. Here, he seems to be able to appease the flying swords, so he can work here for so long.”

“However, he has also been infiltrated by the sword qi here, causing his cultivation to stagnate. His lifespan is still considerable, but he already shows signs of old age.”

After listening to Elder Guan’s explanation, Zhao Huai nodded slowly, thinking to himself.

It seemed that not everyone could handle the maintenance work. Staying in the sword pavilion for a long time would be very harmful to the body.

Old man Wang was indeed very lucky.

“I heard him say that the flying swords here choose their own master?” Zhao Huai thought of the latter part and continued asking.

“This is only for a small part. Disciples of the Limitless Immortal Sect and other Immortal Sects, if they have the qualifications, can come here to choose the flying swords they like. It’s more accurate to say that it depends on fate.”

The two had arrived at the third floor of the sword pavilion as they were talking.

With each floor, the number of flying swords would be reduced. However, the higher the floor, the better the quality of the swords and the harder they would be to control.

On one wall, there were numerous small doors with sword scabbards, sword handles, and sword ornaments stored inside. Around the wall were batches of flying swords.

Zhao Huai glanced at the standing flying swords here, and the quality was obviously not bad.

The lowest quality swords on this floor were at the four-star level, which was a medium-grade magical weapon. If sold, it would cost at least ten thousand spiritual stones, right?

It was not an exaggeration to auction them for an even higher price.

Each sword was a rare treasure, and several young disciples on this floor were looking at these swords with the same admiration they would give to beautiful women.

“In the sword pavilion, there is sword qi everywhere and heavy sword intentions. If cultivators don’t have protective treasures, it will harm their meridians and organs. Your Highness, if you want to choose a flying sword, you need to hurry.”

Elder Guan stood beside, reminding him.

Zhao Huai nodded, but he didn’t think that the sword qi on this floor could hurt him. With his sword skill realm, ordinary sword qi was not to be feared.

He took a few steps forward and carefully observed the flying swords on the shelves.

He could clearly feel that the temperature here was even lower. As if they were in an ice cave, the bone-chilling cold came from all directions, causing the magic power in his Qi Sea to become chaotic. This indirectly indicated that the swords here were more powerful than those downstairs.

Zhao Huai’s face was unchanged, and the vigorous sword qi in his body gathered on the surface, resisting the erosion of the sword qi.

The swords in front of him were resplendent, arranged in rows, and unlike the first floor, the swords here actually had names.

For instance, the one in front of him, shining and standing proudly, was of high aualitv and unsullied. with its sword edge as white as frost and a faint

cold light throughout its body. The blade was engraved with exquisite patterns that stole one’s heart at first glance. It was named “Frosty Cold.”

Bloody Funeral, the handle of the sword resembled a dark red blood dragon, while the blade emitted a strong killing intent.

Green Cloud, the slim sword edge was blue-green in color, shining with dazzling light, like a starry sky, giving people a fascinating feeling.

The Lethal, a cold and chilly sword that could not be seen in the dark, almost transparent, as if it could kill people invisibly.

Each sword had a distinct quality, whether it was gorgeous, low-key, or elegant. It was undoubtedly the case that their original owners were all strong people walking in the world, encountering unknown dangers, and dying with hatred.

Zhao Huai’s process of looking at the swords was also a process of understanding the lives of these spiritual swords.

However, after looking for a long time, he didn’t find a suitable flying sword.

With the pervasive sword qi, some young disciples who had come in just now had begun to feel uncomfortable and could not bear it, so they left one after another.

But Zhao Huai remained calm. He took a deep breath, releasing an even more powerful sword intention.

It was at this instant that the sword qi on this floor suddenly became still.

All dissipated.

Seeing this scene, Elder Guan’s eyes revealed a surprised and astonished look.

Such a strong sword intention.

Obviously, he never expected Zhao Huai to have reached such a high level in sword skill realm, being only at the Golden Core realm.The concept of Sword Intention is elusive, but in reality, it’s a form of invisible killing power.

For example, when an ordinary person faces a fierce tiger, even if the tiger doesn’t pounce, the person still feels terrified, with their legs trembling.

If this feeling is strong enough, it can directly destroy people’s will and obliterate everything.

Seeing that Zhao Huai was unaffected by the flying swords, he said, “I heard that Your Highness has already collected a Sword -Nurturing Gourd. If your strength allows, you can take more swords with you.”

Ordinary disciples could only take one sword, or taking one sword was already their limit.

But this was specifically ordered by Elder Bai.

Zhao Huai had done a great favor for the Limitless Immortal Sect, and according to reason, the sect should provide him with some opportunities.

And it was added.

Zhao Huai could take as many swords as he could without any restrictions.

Hearing Elder Guan’s words, Zhao Huai recalled the sword nurturing gourd he had obtained from the Sword-wielder.

He had already inspected it.

The space inside the Sword-Nurturing Gourd was vast, equivalent to an extra-large storage space. If it was specifically for collecting flying swords, wouldn’t it be able to hold a thousand of them?

After all, who would think there were too many flying swords?

For something that could save one’s life, the more, the better.

“The flying swords on this floor are not suitable for you.”

Unknowingly, old man Wang, who guarded the swords, appeared at the entrance of the third floor, his voice indifferent.

Zhao Huai turned his head and smiled, asking, “Then, senior, what kind of sword do you think is most suitable for me?”

He didn’t mean to look down on the other party.

Anything done to the extreme can be called a master.

As the saying goes among the people, there are always different levels of expertise in any field.

This included old man Wang, who had spent hundreds of years here, knowing every detail about the swords, their sizes, weights, and history like the back of his hand.

Having such extensive experience observing swords, he naturally knew which one would be the most suitable for him.

Old man Wang’s gaze shifted quickly over the swords, but when it landed on Zhao Huai, it lingered for a while.

Then he slowly spoke.

“A powerful sword, the stronger, the better.”

Zhao Huai’s eyes revealed surprise, as the other party had actually seen through his thoughts.

When he was forging his life-bound flying sword on Sky Forge Mountain, he had said the same thing to Master Ruan Ban.

This old man who guarded the swords was definitely extraordinary.

“Follow me.”

Old man Wang bent his waist, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the upper floor, leaving only one sentence behind.

“Going further up?

Elder Guan glanced at the upper floors, frowning deeply.

“What’s the matter above?” Zhao Huai asked curiously.

Elder Guan said solemnly, “The Sword Pavilion is not only a place to take swords but also a place where many ancient evil swords are sealed and suppressed. They are often dangerous, out of control, and forbidden in the Sword Pavilion.”

“Some swords even develop their own consciousness, while others contain the profound knowledge of immortals, which remains undiminished for thousands of years. ”

“Ordinary people can’t bear it.” Towards the end, Elder Guan sighed.

“Let me give it a try.”

Zhao Huai looked at the back of old man Wang and said firmly.

Seeing him make up his mind, Elder Guan could only follow him upstairs.

Zhao Huai quickly caught up with old man Wang in front of him and asked, “Senior, you seem to have studied these swords quite a lot?”

Old man Wang’s eyes were profound as he glanced at Zhao Huai and replied indifferently:

“Swords also have life and their own thoughts. People choose swords, and swords also choose people.”

“For a treasured sword, being held by a weak person is an insult, but being held by a strong person is an honor.”

“Indeed, your sword skill aptitude is extraordinary, ranking among the top three young people I have seen in the Sword Pavilion in nearly a hundred years.”

“As expected, you will be very popular.”
