Chapter 1928: Chapter 1931: Sword Marsh
"Not bad, this Hai Shisi is much more outstanding than Hai Changge. I originally chose Hai Changge, but I didn’t expect an even better option to appear."
The Sect Master of the Sea Sword Sect also showed an expression of wild joy on his face as he spoke.
"This fleshly body of mine will at most last five more days before it shatters. I must change bodies. And at this time they actually sent me a Hai Shisi."
"Has that Xuan Dao Divine Vein Pill been bestowed to Hai Shisi yet?"
"It has already been bestowed."
One Law Enforcement Elder answered.
"Good. When this Hai Shisi finishes refining that Xuan Dao Divine Vein Pill, that will be the day I seize his body and reshape my flesh. With this Hai Shisi body, this time I will definitely be able to survive the Heavenly Human Tribulation!"
The Sect Master of the Sea Sword Sect burst into a ferocious, crazed laugh.
"Then we shall congratulate Sect Master in advance."
The few Law Enforcement Elders also laughed loudly.
On the other side, after Chu Fengmian left the great hall, he transformed into a streak of Tunneling Light and flew all the way toward the Sword Marsh.
"This piece of stone really is useful, it actually concealed me from the Sea Sword Sect Sect Master’s probing."
As Chu Fengmian flew, he pinched the piece of stone he had obtained from Yue Wuheng in his hand.
It was because this piece of stone carried traces of Gu Hai’s aura that made Chu Fengmian’s words truly seamless.
Now his identity as ’Hai Shisi’ had already been confirmed by the Sect Master of the Sea Sword Sect, so no one would doubt him anymore.
However, Chu Fengmian vaguely felt that the Sect Master of the Sea Sword Sect summoning him over just now was not merely for the simple matter of confirming his identity.
"Forget it. Once I get the Sword Dao Totem, I’ll leave the Sea Sword Sect immediately and go into hiding."
Chu Fengmian thought for a moment, then no longer dwelled on it.
His Tunneling Light flew all the way and very soon he arrived at the Sword Marsh.
The Sword Marsh was the place where Sea Sword Sect Disciples comprehended the Sword Dao. In the Sea Sword Sect, where the sword was revered above all, the number of Sea Sword Sect Disciples who came here daily to comprehend was not small.
Lines of people queued up to enter and exit the Sword Marsh.
When Chu Fengmian arrived, those Sea Sword Sect Disciples immediately stepped aside one after another, opening up a path for Chu Fengmian to walk straight in.
After Chu Fengmian defeated Hai Changge, he had already become the number one among the younger generation of Sea Sword Sect Disciples. All the Disciples, and even the elders, were incomparably respectful toward Chu Fengmian.
After all, the status of being the number one Core Disciple meant that in the future he might very well become the next Sect Master of the Sea Sword Sect.
"Young Master Fourteen, may I ask what brings you to the Sword Marsh this time?"
The elder guarding the Sword Marsh saw Chu Fengmian arrive and quickly walked over, speaking with a fawning expression.
"I want to go in and comprehend the Sword Dao Totem."
Chu Fengmian didn’t waste words, going straight to the point as he took out the Jade Talisman and handed it to the elder guarding the Sword Marsh.
"Go and deduct one hundred thousand Contribution Points."
The elder guarding the Sword Marsh had originally wanted to fawn over Chu Fengmian for a bit more, but seeing Chu Fengmian’s cold demeanor, he hurriedly took the Jade Talisman and deducted the Contribution Points.
Afterwards this elder took out a Jade Talisman, seemingly communicating with someone. Not long after, the elder walked back over, an extra Jade Talisman in his hand, and handed it to Chu Fengmian as he spoke.
"This is the Jade Talisman for entering the depths of the Sword Marsh. With this Jade Talisman, Young Master Fourteen can comprehend the Sword Dao Totem inside for ten days."
One hundred thousand Contribution Points could only buy ten days to comprehend the Sword Dao Totem. Ten thousand Contribution Points a day—an outrageous price.
No wonder that even among the Sea Sword Sect’s Core Disciples, not many were qualified to comprehend this Sword Dao Totem.
However, ten days’ time was enough for Chu Fengmian.
"Let’s go."
Chu Fengmian accepted the Jade Talisman, turned into a streak of Tunneling Light, and headed straight toward the depths of the Sword Marsh.
Within the Sword Marsh, Forbidden Array Formations were set up everywhere.
If Sea Sword Sect Disciples wanted to comprehend the Sword Intent left behind in the Sword Marsh by the Sea Sword Sect’s experts of past generations, they had to pay a massive amount of Contribution Points.
And they could only choose to comprehend one spot. If they tried to secretly go to another location to comprehend, they would be mercilessly blasted to death by the restrictions.
However, the Jade Talisman Chu Fengmian held was the highest-grade among the Sword Marsh Jade Talismans.
The Sword Dao Totem was located at the very deepest part of the Sword Marsh.
With the Jade Talisman in hand, Chu Fengmian ignored all the restrictions and flew directly to the deepest part of the Sword Marsh. From afar, he could see a wooden totem standing tall at the deepest point of the Sword Marsh.
"Sword Dao Totem!"
At the moment he saw this wooden totem, joy flashed across Chu Fengmian’s face.
Chu Fengmian had finally laid eyes on the Sword Dao Totem within this Sea Sword Sect.
Chu Fengmian had gone through untold hardships to become Hai Shisi and complete the mission, all for the sake of this Sword Dao Totem.
As Chu Fengmian approached, he could clearly feel the heaven-shocking Sword Intent emanating from the Sword Dao Totem.
The Sword Intent contained in the Sword Dao Totem was not ostentatious. Ordinary Martial Artists, even if they approached, would not be able to see the profundity of the Sword Dao Totem, nor sense the slightest bit of Sword Intent.
But for Sword Cultivators whose understanding of the Sword Dao was not shallow, once they approached the Sword Dao Totem, they could clearly feel the power of the Sword Dao Totem.
Therefore, in some remote places, such as the Da Luo Heaven Star Territory, there were not many who truly knew the value of a Sword Dao Totem, and Sword Dao Totems had even fallen to the point of being put up for auction.
There were many powerful Sword Cultivators in this Sea Sword Sect, even Heavenly Human Realm experts, so they understood the value of the Sword Dao Totem all the more clearly, and thus valued the Sword Dao Totem incomparably.
Chu Fengmian could clearly feel that around this Sword Dao Totem, there was constantly a strand of Spiritual Sense enveloping the area, guarding against anyone taking the opportunity to steal the Sword Dao Totem.
Moreover, layer upon layer of Forbidden Array Formations had been set up upon the Sword Dao Totem.
Among these Forbidden Array Formations, a few contained power that made even Chu Fengmian feel extremely troubled just by looking at them.
Among these Forbidden Array Formations, a few had truly been set up personally by Heavenly Human Realm experts. For Chu Fengmian to want to unravel them would be incomparably difficult.
However, Chu Fengmian had ten days’ time and was in no hurry for the moment.
Chu Fengmian walked to the front of the Sword Dao Totem and sat down quietly, adopting the posture of beginning to comprehend.
"The Sword Intent contained in this Sword Dao Totem is even stronger than the one in my hand."
Feeling the Sword Intent emanating from the Sword Dao Totem, Chu Fengmian thought to himself.
In Chu Fengmian’s hands, there were in total three Sword Dao Totems.
They were ranked third, fourth, and nineteenth respectively.
There were a total of nineteen Sword Dao Totems. The higher a Sword Dao Totem was ranked, the more profound the swordsmanship it contained, and the stronger the Sword Intent within.
The Sword Intent contained in the Sword Dao Totem before him was even more powerful than that of the Sword Dao Totem ranked third in Chu Fengmian’s possession.
This proved that this Sword Dao Totem was either the first-ranked or the second-ranked one.
Whether it was first or second, this Sword Dao Totem was of vital importance to Chu Fengmian.
