C9 Summoning His Tianhen
The ten warriors at the tenth level of Open Pulse Stage who entered the Lin family Ancestral Land were about to reach the top of the mountain.
Along the way, they encountered a lot of Demonic Beasts. They could easily take care of them but these beasts were already at the peak of the first rank. They would be very troublesome to deal with.
At this moment...
Three of the warriors were fighting against two demonic beasts. The three of them got injured while the other seven stood by and watched as if they were being entertained.
These seven warriors were from the Xiao family.
The three warriors who were fighting with the two demonic beasts were from the Lin family.
Lin Nantian compromised to obtain the support of the Xiao family and also gain control of the Lin family. Most of the people who entered the Ancestral Land were from the Xiao family.
Ever since they got here, they always treated the three men from the Lin family as servants and the three warriors didn't dare refuse them.
"Humph... These men have been trying to deal with these beasts for such a long time. The people of the Lin family are just trash," one of them said in disgust.
"That's true. This kind of family should have been suppressed by the Xiao family a long time ago. They are supposed to be slaves to us!" another one opined.
"Don't let your guard down, everyone. The mission that the Patriarch gave us this time is to take away all the precious swords in the Ancestral Land's Sword Pool. To be honest, Lin Hao surprised me. We all know that he was crippled by the young mistress' sword but he can still fight. After we have snatched all the precious swords from the Sword Pool, we'll wait in the mountain. Once Lin Hao appears, we'll kill him immediately!" A man in his early twenties said.
He was the leader of the seven men. He came from a branch of the Xiao family. He was a cousin of Xiao Qi, the young mistress of the Xiao family, who crippled Lin Hao's Dantian three days ago. His name was Xiao Su.
Meanwhile, Lin Hao was on the other side of the mountain, so he had no idea of what they were talking about. Currently, his injuries had healed up and his cultivation was now at Open Pulse Stage, Level 7. He sped up and rushed to the top of the mountain.
The closer he got to the top, the more familiar he felt from the depths of his soul. He already knew what this familiar feeling was and because of this, he couldn't wait to get to the top of the mountain.
He unleashed the powerful aura from his body. Along the way, all the demonic beasts he met prostrated on the ground, not daring to move an inch.
By the time he got to the mountain top, he found more than ten Rank-one Treasured Swords floating above the top of the mountain.
This was the Sword Pool of the Lin family.
The familiarity that came from the depths of his soul was coming from the bottom of the Sword Pool.
Lin Hao moved to the side of the pool, stepped forward, and fell into it.
As soon as he entered the pool, more than ten swords floating above the Sword Pool shot towards him instantly.
The last time Lin Hao was here, he didn't dare to jump into the Sword Pool. But now, he didn't need to perform the complicated ceremony passed down in the Lin family. The swords couldn't hurt him at all.
This was because he was the Sword God of ten thousand years ago!
He was the king of swords!
With a thought in his mind, a huge wave of Qi swept out of his body. The Sword Qi around him whistled. Under the influence of this aura, the Rank-one Treasured Swords that were shooting towards him stopped and floated around him as if they were worshipping him!
"Tianhen, I'm back!"
"You should be back too!"
Lin Hao spoke slowly. His expression was very solemn.
As his voice faded, a piece of metal in the center of the mountain quivered and the entire mountain shook to its roots.
It wasn't so difficult for the metal piece to breakthrough the mountain's bindings, but the problem was that there was still powerful Divine Tao and the power of the laws around the metal piece. This was the reason why it couldn't break free right now.
The sense of familiarity that was coming from the depths of Lin Hao's soul came from this metal piece.
This was because the metal piece was Lin Hao's sword from ten thousand years ago. It was the God-Level sword that went through countless battles with him: Tianhen!
In the past, Lin Hao used the Path of Sword God to trigger the Divine Tao to descend. However, because Xiao Qi, the person he loved, leaked the secret, Seven Divine Kings joined hands to break the Divine Tao. Lin Hao's sword was destroyed and a wisp of his Divine Soul escaped. After ten thousand years, he was reborn. He never thought that a portion of his sword would remain.
Perhaps, this was the fate of the underworld. He was reborn in the Lin family of Green Cloud City and his sword was patiently waiting for his return in the Ancestral Land.
As for the origin of the Ancestral Land, Lin Hao roughly guessed it. It was possible that when the divine sword collapsed ten thousand years ago, that piece of fragment shattered a part of the space and was then discovered by the Lin family.
Although the Tianhen was not as sharp as before, it was still a peerless divine sword. The Sword Qi was a great help to swords. The Lin family used the scattered Sword Qi to build the Sword Pool in the Ancestral Land thereby nourishing a batch of Rank-one Treasured Swords.
Lin Hao could sense the response from the Tianhen although it was very weak. But even at that, Lin Hao continued to call out and whispered to himself, "I'm back, I know that you've been waiting for me. Come out, nothing can stop you now. Let's work together again in this life and we will never repeat the mistakes of our previous life. Even the Divine Kings will never be able to stop us!"
Hearing this, the broken piece of metal in the center of the mountain shook even more violently, and the Divine Tao Law that was suppressing it began to crack under the sharp light of the metal piece.
The Divine Tao laws came from the Seven Divine Kings.Ten thousand years had passed and the effect of this law was mostly dissipated. Because of Lin Hao's call, the fragment of the divine sword and Tianhen erupted with all of its remaining strength. Like Lin Hao, Tianhen impatiently wanted to return to Lin Hao's hands!
At this time...
The martial artists chasing Lin Hao were now at the top of the mountain.
Initially, they were ten of them but one of them from the Lin family died accidentally in the mouth of the demonic beast when they were fighting. Among the remaining nine, two were covered with injuries. As for the remaining seven, there wasn't a trace of injury on their bodies.
The vibration from the mountain was becoming stronger. They rushed to the side of the Sword Pool and saw that all the swords in the pool were surrounding Lin Hao. Xiao Su furrowed his brows as he felt that this situation was a little strange and one needed to be very careful. Quickly, he ordered the two injured warriors, "This Lin Hao is a scourge caused by the Lin family's incompetence. You two go and catch him!"
Although these two warriors were afraid, they didn't dare to oppose the Xiao family. They could only muster their courage and shout as they charged towards Lin Hao. Each of them unleashed their strongest attack.
Lin Hao snorted loudly and continued to summon Tianhen, showing no intention to attack them. However, more than ten Rank-one Treasured Swords that were circling around his body instantly shot towards the enemies that were rushing towards the Sword Pool.
