Chapter 107: Inside Mount Sword, Stellar Transposition Array
Hearing Lin Ran’s description, the empress couldn’t help but find it strange.
When her father told her about the existence of the secret place, he only said that it was the place where all the secrets of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty were stored. He did not mention how dangerous it was or what was special about it.
But from what Lin Ran said, it didn’t seem to be an ordinary place.
As if knowing that the empress was curious, Lin Ran took the initiative to say, “That feeling is very strange. You can think of it as me becoming stronger after staying there for a period of time.”
“Is it an increase in realms?”
The empress probed, “Just like you did in the secret room of the Hidden Sword Pavilion?”
“My realm hasn’t changed. I’ve just become stronger.”
LSeeing that the empress didn’t understand, he thought for a moment and said, “Let’s put it this way. If the strength I can unleash is 100, I can unleash 300 or more strength in the secret place.”
“Moreover, this strength will continue to increase with time. It’s as if there’s a force restricting my cultivation and I can only unleash a few percent of my true strength.”
“However, there’s no such restriction in the secret place. My cultivation seems to have gone out of control. It’s also because of this that I was able to escape from that thing. If it were outside, it should be at the peak of the Senior Grandmaster Realm, no more than the first level of the Half-Saint Realm.”
The empress was dumbfounded.
If this guess that some kind of force was restricting the strength of cultivators was confirmed, it would cause a huge uproar in the world.
Seeing the empress’s horrified expression, Lin Ran knew that she understood. He paused for a moment and said casually, “Actually, you don’t have to worry too much. Perhaps I was wrong. I was in a hurry to get out of the secret place and didn’t have time to study it.”
The empress smiled, but her eyes were still filled with unconcealable fear. However, she did not dare to continue that topic. She changed the topic and asked, “Have you found the secret you want to know?”
Lin Ran nodded and revealed a helpless expression. “I know only a portion of it, but there’s not enough time. That place is much larger than I thought. It took me a lot of time to find the hairpin.”
The empress looked at the green jade hairpin in her hand. “I’m sorry…”
“Let’s not stand on ceremony with me!”
Lin Ran smiled indifferently and said with a serious expression, “Fortunately, I found out the way to save Huo Qiyun.”
“Save Qiyun?”
The empress immediately looked worried. “What happened to him?”
Lin Ran was stunned for a moment before he remembered that he had yet to tell the empress about what happened to Huo Qiyun.
“He’s trapped in Mount Sword. The situation is a little complicated. I’ll tell you in detail when I come back!”
As Lin Ran spoke, a strong wind blew up from the ground in the bedroom, and all the scrolls were instantly blown into the air.
When the scrolls fell again, Lin Ran was no longer in the bedroom. The doors and windows were still closed. The empress didn’t know how he disappeared.
After being stunned for a moment, the empress looked at the green jade hairpin in her hand.
The empress took a deep breath and gently pricked her fingertips with the tip of the hairpin. She squeezed out a drop of blood and gently applied it to the irises carved on the end of the hairpin. Then, she tucked the hairpin into her black hair.
“Wan’er…”
When the familiar voice sounded in her mind, the empress instantly burst into tears.
…
Mount Sword.
With a short but deafening sonic boom, a figure fell to the ground like a meteor and smashed into the depths of Mount Sword.
At the foot of Mount Sword, in a deep pit dozens of feet wide.
Lin Ran appeared outside the pit in a flash. After quickly looking around to make sure that no one was around, he patted his chest and heaved a sigh of relief. “Although the effect is much weaker, I still can’t control my strength well… Fortunately, no one saw it!”
As he spoke, with a thought, the Ten Miles Dragon Roar appeared in his hand.
The dragon gem on the hilt began to flicker with a red light again, but this time, Lin Ran was no longer as confused as before.
“The sun and the moon shine together, the sky and the earth live together, the sea changes, and the stars move…”
Lin Ran muttered softly and put the Ten Miles Dragon Roar horizontally in front of him. After gathering sword intent on his fingertips, he pressed the gems on the scabbard in a certain pattern.
When the last gem was pressed, the scabbard made of gold and silver seemed to have suddenly come to life!
The golden threads that formed the scabbard began to flow like water. The gems began to change positions. At the same time, a rustling sound came from inside Mount Sword, and a deep cave entrance the height of a person slowly appeared in front of Lin Ran.
“Is this the Stellar Transposition Array? Sword God is indeed powerful!”
Lin Ran praised from the bottom of his heart. Then, his figure flashed and he instantly disappeared into the cave.
In the darkness, Lin Ran couldn’t even see the ground under his feet clearly, but he still sped up because he was full of confidence this time.
Soon, Lin Ran felt that he had arrived at an open space.
The air was filled with violent sword intent and pure killing intent that made even Lin Ran shiver.
In a daze, he even felt that he had returned to the day when he was in the secret cave at the top of the mountain. However, the killing intent here was far stronger than the killing intent generated by the demon in the secret cave!
Lin Ran activated the Three Essence Sword Technique to calm his mind. At the same time, he stopped in his tracks. The Ten Miles Dragon Roar on his waist was unsheathed half an inch, and hundreds of fire-elemental sword energy instantly filled the entire space.
When the place lit up, Lin Ran saw that this was an empty space inside the mountain.
It was about a thousand feet square, but the height was unknown. He slashed out a few fire-elemental sword energies more than a thousand feet above him, but he still could not see the top of this space.
There was a pool of black water on the ground. From time to time, ripples would appear on the surface, as if something was swimming below.
Countless weapons covered almost every corner of the black pool, and the soaring killing intent and sword intent were emitted from these weapons.
Yes, weapons.
The Heavenly Saint Dynasty advocated the Sword Dao, and martial artists also used swords as their weapons.
However, in this black water pool, there were all kinds of weapons from axes to spears. Some of which LIn Ran couldn’t even name.
The only thing these complicated weapons had in common was that they were all broken.
It was different from the divine swords in Mount Sword that were still as sharp as before after a hundred or even a thousand years.
The blades of the weapons in the black water pool were shattered, and the bodies of the spears were broken. At least, among the hundred or so weapons by the pool, not a single one was intact.
However, Lin Ran knew why, so he didn’t pay much attention to it.
In the center of the black pool, a black stone platform ten steps wide poked out of the water. At this moment, a white-robed figure was sitting cross-legged on it.
