Chapter 1459 - 1458: Cultivation in Seclusion

Chapter 1459: Chapter 1458: Cultivation in Seclusion

At this time, in the northern part of the Yingzhou Continent, an ancient martial arts family is situated.

The Beichuan Family.

After returning from the Ise Shrine, Ling Chen, invited by Beichuan Ye, arrived at the Beichuan Family and stayed there, dedicated to cultivation.

On one hand, Ling Chen’s current identity is extremely sensitive. Since leaving the Ise Shrine, almost all forces in Yingzhou know that he obtained the legacy of Cloud Monarch, and now all Yingzhou factions are eyeing him covetously. Staying at the Beichuan Family provides some safety. On the other hand, Ling Chen has been entrusting Beichuan Ye to inquire about the whereabouts of the Human Emperor’s descendants, and although there has been no news recently, there has been some progress in this matter.

In the next few days, there might be definite information coming.

Ling Chen was not in a hurry and temporarily settled down at the Beichuan Family. During his time in the Ise Shrine, Ling Chen gained considerable benefits, especially the legacy of Cloud Monarch, which is not something he can master immediately; it requires a lengthy period to digest the results.

In an ancient wooden house, Ling Chen sat cross-legged on the floor; the True Qi within him slowly circulated outside, forming a Zhou Tian, inhaling and exhaling the surrounding Heavenly Earth Energy.

Soon after, the True Qi Zhou Tian dissipated, and Ling Chen opened his eyes.

Hoo...

Ling Chen slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, a slight glint flickering in his eyes. After digesting the gains from the Ise Shrine, he had significantly improved both his swordsmanship and mental state. Although his cultivation remained at the Saint Realm Second Layer, the True Qi within him was undoubtedly much thicker than before, reaching the peak of the Saint Realm Second Layer in a very short time.

If it hadn’t been for the Ise Shrine, relying on his own efforts alone would have consumed several months or even half a year for such progress. After reaching the Saint Realm, further cultivation becomes quite difficult. Ling Chen’s advancement in such a short time is already quite terrifying.

After gradually solidifying his cultivation, Ling Chen unexpectedly raised his hand, slightly opening his palm, causing three tokens of different colors to fly out from the Heavenly Mansion Ring, floating in the air before him.

These were the three Void Emperor Orders Ling Chen currently possessed.

Namely the Thunder Emperor Order, Flame Emperor’s Decree, and recently acquired Golden Emperor’s Order from Cloud Monarch.

If anyone saw this scene, surely their eyes would widen and shine. The Void Emperor Orders, which are treasures enough to drive any strong person on the Tianyuan Continent crazy, were right here in triple doses!

Of the total nine Void Emperor Orders, Ling Chen alone had three!

The remaining ones: the Wood Emperor Order was with Xuannv, the Ice Emperor Order was likely held by the Heavenly Eye Clan, and a Wind Emperor’s Order was in the hands of the Cyan-robed Guest.

The whereabouts of the other three Void Emperor Orders remained unknown.

"What secrets do these tokens hold?"

Ling Chen studied the three floating tokens, gazing long and hard, wanting to discern something.

Aware that even after infusing True Qi and consciousness thoroughly, Ling Chen had to give up. No matter what method he used, he couldn’t discover the hidden secrets within. Placing three Void Emperor Orders together produced no resonance, seemingly unrelated.

Disappointed, Ling Chen stored away the Flame Emperor’s Decree and Thunder Emperor Order, suspecting that only by collecting more, maybe even gathering all nine Void Emperor Orders, could he unravel the mystery.

Before him remained only the golden Golden Emperor’s Order, emitting radiant waves.

A flicker in his brow, Ling Chen proceeded to channel a sliver of consciousness into the Golden Emperor’s Order.

Each Void Emperor Order carries its unique extraordinary traits. Ling Chen had studied Thunder Cut and Thunder Swallow from the Thunder Emperor Order; from the Flame Emperor’s Decree, he researched the Returning to the Ruins, which were immensely powerful and exquisite sword techniques.

The Golden Emperor’s Order naturally was no exception.

Previously, Cloud Monarch had used this Golden Emperor’s Order to condense a Golden Spear, almost killing Dao Yi True Immortal.

With such formidable power in Cloud Monarch’s hands, Ling Chen believed that under his control, its potential wouldn’t be any weaker.

As his consciousness entered the Golden Emperor’s Order, Ling Chen’s mind was instantly filled with a golden ocean, and within this vast ocean, Ling Chen’s figure seemed as insignificant as a grain of dust.

This ocean of gold was filled with terrifying gang winds, rupturing space into fragments, splitting it repeatedly.

From the rift within, dazzling golden light erupted, and beneath it, awe-inspiring divine weapons emerged, piercing the sky with grand holes.

Amidst those divine weapons were swords, spears, blades, and staves... Thousands of varieties swept past Ling Chen like meteors, leaving behind dazzling trajectories.

Watching such a brilliant scene, Ling Chen felt deeply shaken, yet the awe lasted merely a moment before he fixed his gaze upon the golden sword among the divine weapons. Without hesitation, he rushed into the meteor-like river of weapons.

After several flashes, he reached the golden sword. Expanding his hand swiftly, Ling Chen grasped the rapidly moving golden sword. In that instant his hand touched the hilt, extreme radiant light burst forth.

Hiss hiss hiss hiss...

The fierce golden Sword Light enveloped Ling Chen, a multitude of sword marks appearing on his body, skin tearing apart, seemingly about to dismember him.

Enduring the impending agony, Ling Chen gritted his teeth, grabbing the hilt with both hands, explosive momentum reaching its peak. The boisterous roar almost resounded through the golden ocean above.

In that instant, the golden sword in Ling Chen’s hands finally dimmed, seemingly firmly under his control. This brought a hint of joy to Ling Chen’s eyes; relying on overpowering Sword Intent and momentum, he forcefully subdued the sword!
