Chapter 38: Chapter 35 Flying Sword Heritage

Ye Chen's mind was in turmoil when Jiang Yao and the Three-Eyed Giant Ape had already landed upon the ground of the Inner Mansion.

No sooner had the Three-Eyed Giant Ape touched down than it excitedly ran toward the seated projection of Qian Jizi, all the while calling out loudly, "Master! Master!"

Meanwhile, Jiang Yao, with a delicate lotus-like gait, walked toward Ye Chen.

As the girl moved, her figure was lithe, and her waterfall-like hair gently swayed behind her, exuding an indescribable charm.

"Ye Chen, I've finally seen you!"

Jiang Yao arrived in front of Ye Chen, lifted her lovely head slightly, and with clear eyes looking at Ye Chen, she said with a light laugh.

"Senior Sister Jiang Yao... she knows me?"

Hearing the girl's words and looking at the beautiful girl who had walked up to him, Ye Chen was slightly taken aback.

"I saw your three trials at the Outer Mansion earlier." Jiang Yao noticed Ye Chen's confusion, her attractive large eyes curving into a smile, dimples emerging as she spoke, "Your performance in the three trials was truly impressive; you even managed to draw out Senior Qian Jizi."

"So she was in the Outer Mansion before."

Ye Chen finally understood why this Senior Sister Jiang Yao, whom he had never met, was so familiar with him.

Looking at her exquisite face and those clear eyes that twinkled with a gentle smile, Ye Chen's heart also calmed down.

He had thought this Senior Sister Jiang Yao, whose cultivation had reached the Spirit Sea Realm, would be aloof and proud, but to his surprise, she was as approachable and charming as the girl next door.

"Senior Sister Jiang Yao, I've long admired your renown," Ye Chen said, looking into Jiang Yao's eyes and smiling too.

Being with this beautiful girl, he felt extremely relaxed; the feeling was really nice.

"Ye Chen, just call me Jiang Yao. We're going to be companions from now on, venturing together through the Inner Mansion of the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode," Jiang Yao's eyes sparkled, and her whole being seemed to leap with excitement as she looked at the beautiful scenery of the Inner Mansion.

"Yes, we're going to venture through the Inner Mansion, wondering what the three trials inside will be like."

Ye Chen looked out toward the rippling lake in the distance and the towering mountains piercing the clouds, feeling some anticipation for the upcoming trials.

"We don't know yet." Jiang Yao shook her lovely head lightly, equally eager with anticipation.

The two stood side by side, surveying the Inner Mansion of the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode.

"It seems you two have gotten to know each other."

At this moment, Qian Jizi, accompanied by the Three-Eyed Giant Ape, walked over. He looked at Ye Chen and Jiang Yao standing shoulder to shoulder and nodded with a smile.

They could sense the miraculousness of this flying sword!

"I am but a shadow split from my true body left within the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode, only capable of displaying the transformations of the flying sword, rather than its true power. In time, you will come to understand just how precious this Flying Sword Heritage is!"

"The flying sword is nurtured in the 'Flying Sword Palace' within the forehead, appearing and disappearing in a blink of an eye. It can strike with its sword in an instant, catching one's enemies off guard and can continuously cultivate within the Sword Palace Acupoint, constantly enhancing the quality of the flying sword.

Once cultivated to a great mystical ability, it can even fly thousands of miles on its own to take the enemy's head!"

"This is the flying sword!"

Nurtured within the forehead, unpredictable, capable of taking heads from a thousand miles away!

Qian Jizi's words gave Ye Chen and Jiang Yao a direct understanding of the power of the flying sword!

"Ye Chen, Jiang Yao."

Qian Jizi looked at the two of them, "In the third trial of the Outer Mansion earlier, you successfully nurtured the 'Fire Lotus Law Pattern' and 'Water Lotus Law Pattern,' which was considered as passing the test. Do you know why?"

Ye Chen and Jiang Yao both shook their heads.

"Those Fire Lotus Law Patterns and Water Lotus Law Patterns were the marks left at the center of your brows. After entering the Inner Mansion, you will undergo the three trials of the Inner Mansion in preparation for obtaining the 'Flying Sword Heritage.'"

"The first trial will take place in the 'Lotus Sword Pool,' where your Fire Lotus Law Pattern and Water Lotus Law Pattern will directly absorb 'Sword Qi Spirit Liquid,' eventually creating the 'Sword Palace Acupoint' at the center of your forehead where the flying sword can be nurtured."

"The second trial requires you to ascend Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, to constantly forge and expand your Sword Palace during the climb, in preparation for admitting the 'flying sword.'"

"And the third trial will take you directly to the site of the Flying Sword Heritage, where if you manage to have the set of flying swords I left at the pinnacle of Ten Thousand Swords Mountain acknowledge you as their master, and they fly into the Flying Sword Palace created between your brows, you will have passed the trial successfully. That set of Flying Sword Heritage will then belong to you!"

So that's how it is!

Hearing Qian Jizi's explanation, Ye Chen suddenly understood.

No wonder he had to nurture the Fire Lotus Law Pattern in his brow during the third trial of the Outer Mansion, it turned out, this was in preparation for creating the Flying Sword Palace.

The Flying Sword Palace is a kind of acupoint related to nurturing and storing flying swords, similar to how the vital energy storage acupoints store vital energy. Only by creating the Flying Sword Palace would one be able to incorporate that immensely powerful flying sword into one's body.

And all three trials of the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode's Inner Mansion were designed to prepare for creating the Sword Palace and admitting the flying sword.

Standing beside Ye Chen, Jiang Yao also came to understand and with shining eyes, she asked Qian Jizi, "Senior Qian Jizi, when do the trials of this Inner Mansion begin?"

Qian Jizi is a rumored Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouse. The Flying Sword Heritage he left behind was unimaginably precious.

Jiang Yao could hardly wait to see what this Flying Sword Heritage was all about!
