What If I Can't Die?

Chen Yiling was so starteled she started to panic. She wanted to activate the spiritual sword that had entered her body, but she was not strong enough and could not take it out.

She could only say out helplessly, "Thank you, Senior."

"Sword Emperor Gale, you're really shameless. We've painstakingly found the spirit sword and you want to keep it for your disciple just like that?"

The brocade-robed old man's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He was really out of luck today. Even the duck that was about to enter his mouth flew into someone else's pot. He was about to die of depression from the many losses he had encountered today.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, you're so rich that your wealth is comparable to that of a country. You also termed yourself the Perfected Lord of Treasures. Since you're full of treasures and don't lack such a spiritual sword, why fight with a junior?"

Sword Emperor Gale chuckled.

"How dare you rebut so shamelessly!"

The Perfected Lord of Treasures was so angry that his teeth started to hurt. No matter how rich he was, he did not have many of such Numinous artifacts.

Most importantly, this thing was dug out by everyone together. Many people died for it, but it flew away. Not to mention him, the other cultivators from the joint trading companies also couldn't take it.

"Sigh, this sword has a spirit. Since it has chosen its master, why don't we fulfill its wish?"

Sword Emperor Gale was clearly shameless. He said shamelessly, "How about this? I owe you a favor on behalf of the sword. If there's any trouble later, I'll help you all out. Is that alright?"

The Perfected Lord of Treasures looked at Chen Yiling gloomily. He could tell that this old fellow clearly wanted his junior to swallow this sword. It would be very difficult for him to take it back. He could only grit his teeth. "Then remember this well. If you have something to do later, don't refuse!"

When Song Shi saw this scene, he immediately felt that the tea in his hand had paled in comparison.

There was a phrase which said there is no such thing as a free lunch. But this was equivalent to having a free lunch out of the blue, and this 'lunch' was a Numinous artifact too!

This thing was a Soul Transformation stage Weapon and had been birthed with spirituality.

If he were to compare this sword with weapons from his previous life, a Numinous treasure with spirit and intelligence like this sword would be one level higher that a weapon with Artificial Intelligence.

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would find it difficult to possess such a treasure.

Whereas someone like Chen Yiling, could just posture and shout for a Spiritual sword whenever and the spiritual sword would fly over to her automatically. How pretentious was that?

"Damn it, I have the Psychic Dao Body too. Why don't treasures throw themselves at me?"

Song Shi's eyes shifted as he glanced at the sword tomb. There were no more spiritual swords inside.

"This girl is so lucky. She was chosen by the Spiritual Sword as its master. Her cultivation must have improved by leaps and bounds. It will be easy for her to form her Gold Core."

Old Man Nightmare was equally envious.

"I'm jealous. This girl has a Spiritual Sword protecting her now. As long as she doesn't die prematurely, it shouldn't be difficult for her to become a female Sword Emperor."

Fang Gang was also green with envy.

Shi Tianya's eyes were dark. "Then let's kill her in advance!"

Most of the people from the other sects also stared at Chen Yiling with hostile gazes.

To be recognized as a master by a spiritual sword at such a young age, she would pose a huge threat when she advances.

The best solution to such a threat was to nip her in the bud.

"Hmph, what are you looking at? If you have the ability, go and attract a Numinous artifact yourself!"

Sword Emperor Gale's eyes exploded with a sharp aura, shattering the malicious gazes of many people, causing some people with ulterior motives to retreat temporarily.

He smiled at Chen Yiling. "Indeed, the Zenith Heaven Sword King has taken in a good disciple. Follow closely by my side and don't give any of them a chance to attack you."

"Yes, Senior."

Chen Yiling secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She was indeed under a lot of pressure from being stared at by so many people with ill intentions.

Now, a Sword Emperor had personally promised that at the very least, she did not have to worry about being killed by a powerhouse.

"Brother Gale, congratulations. Your Demon Slayers Department will have another Elite soon."

The Nascent Soul cultivators of Qianzheng Academy cupped their fists. They were all from the departments of Great Qian, so they naturally had to be polite to each other.

"Congratulations too. There's a cultivation technique building over there. When the time comes, there's a high chance for you all to obtain divine powers and spirit arts."

Sword Emperor Gale smiled as he looked at a simple and unadorned building. The words 'Ten Thousand Dharma' were engraved on it. Clearly, this was an inheritance from the ancient sect which consisted of their cultivation techniques and divine powers.

"It's difficult. This Tower of Ten Thousand Laws is most likely one of the core defensive forces of this ruin. I don't think we can break it alone."

The latter shook his head. He wore a scholar's robe and held a ruler-shaped magic treasure in his hand. He looked at a building more than ten miles away and pondered.

"Our side seems to be able to lead to the alchemy room. If attacking alone really doesn't work, we can work together to explore both places together."

Sword Emperor Gale suggested.

"That's what I thought."

The Confucian-robed elder nodded.

At this moment, as the nodes of the Array Formation were destroyed one after another, the situation inside the Array Formation became clearer and clearer.

The situation near the various large factions was further revealed. From the air, one could see which parts of the ruins were important and which were ordinary.

For example, the closest place to the Sky Demon Cult was the Weapon Pavilion. From afar, they could see Will-O-Wisp shooting out from it. This made the eyes of the Joint Trading Companies, who had just lost a spiritual sword, light up, and they also chose to approach the Weapon Pavilion.

"Work harder. We'll be able to enter this area where these ancient cultivators live soon. There might also be Numinous artifacts inside!"

Lu Jiu glanced at the various major powers approaching the important locations. But he did not choose to give up on the relatively ordinary living area in front of him.

The main reason was that the Array Formation here was almost broken. They were about to enter this place soon. If they gave up now, the sunk costs would be too high.

This was a living area. It was a little like the residence of ordinary disciples. The things planted nearby were relatively ordinary. Hence everyone was relying on their age to make up for it.

Everyone prepared to launch another joint attack. All kinds of cold attacks landed on the Array Formation and the Array Formation barrier began to distort before finally collapsing with a bang.

This was a residence with dozens of small buildings. It looked like a small village with a restaurant at the entrance.

The barrier outside the restaurant disappeared, and a circle of waves spread out, forming a gust of wind that swept up the dust inside. The residence that had been deserted for countless years was finally occupied by people again.
