Chapter 824: Ten Extreme Imperial Dao

After sighing he opened his mouth and said, “Although I can’t remove the curse but I do have a talisman that can help you temporarily alleviate this crisis!”

After he said that he took out a golden talisman.

Zong Shou took the talisman and his eyes instantly lit up.

After the thing entered his hand, without him needing to do anything, the weird sensation within his body was suppressed.

However he could still feel that the spiritual energy within the talisman was being consumed.

He didn’t know exactly what talisman it was but he could only deduce its background from the spiritual patterns within.

It should be from the Cloud Desolate Era, an ancient type of talisman.

He couldn’t help but looked towards the Chen surnamed middle aged man in anticipation.

“This talisman should be able to help you suppress the curse for three months, after which then you have to depend on yourself. I will charge you a discounted price of ten High Grade mind stones!”

Zong Shou had no objections about the price, his eyes burning bright. Landlord Chen could only shake his head and break out into a laugh.

“I got this talisman by luck, it was passed down from ancient times. I don’t know how it is crafted and only have one of them. Esteemed guest will probably be disappointed if you want more...”

Zong Shou’s expression sunk and then he didn’t bother much about it anymore. He actually didn’t think about avoiding this whole episode, just dragging it by several months was enough for him.

He ran over here for another matter.

“Forget about this! I came here because I have another matter. Can Landlord help me design a sword formation?”

“Sword formation?”

Landlord Chen’s brow rose in shock, “I actually do have a few sets here, I can confidently say that their strength are not bad...”

When he was halfway through his sentence he understood, “Esteemed guest wants to refiner he sword to merge artifact with you as one right? I can help you with this. What requests do you have?”

The moment he said that, it made Zong Shou feel slightly awkward.

He wanted too much and it involved too wide an area which was why it was tough to describe.

He slightly hesitated and then asked, “Do you know about the Taoist Faction Cycle of Heaven Star Falling Technique?”

“It is their famous technique, how would I not know?”

That Landlord Chen laughed, his weird expression on his face became thicker, “What does that have to do with the sword formation you want to make?”

“I have an ability known as the Three Thousand Star Falling, it is also known as the Instant Space Star Falling Technique. The Taoist technique is that each star represented a spell, at its peak hundreds of thousands of stars striking the enemy. It is invincible and Saint Venerables would avoid it. Each one of my stars represent a Dao!”

As Zong Shou described it he saw the pupils of middle aged male who seemed skilled instantly constrict. He smiled, “Naturally I am still creating the technique. I need the formation to fit with the ability, using materials related to space and time dharmas, a total of 10800 of them! Among which there must at least be ten Celestial Grade Sword Artifacts...”

He had a total of ten Saint Realm True Dragon canines in his bag.

They were more than enough to be used to craft Celestial Swords.

Naturally it was naturally impossible to make it as strong as the Soul Refining Sword, to have a hundredth of its power was already decent.

Based on what Wei Xu said, those seven swords were all quasi-god artifacts.

The Soul Refining Sword was a little different, it was said to have the ability to improve and a chance to evolve into a God Artifact.

Thinking about it, Zong Shou took out his Nameless Sword.

“It is best if this sword can be the core of the formation!”

That Landlord Chen didn’t pick it up, instead he said with a helpless expression on his face, “10800 swords, 10 celestial swords. Esteemed guest really overestimated me. How can I be able to lay out such a large scale sword formation? Unless one is a Saint Realm engrossed in the Dao for many years, if not it is totally impossible...”

When Zong Shou heard that he wasn’t that surprised, he also didn’t feel much disappointment.

He only came over here with the thoughts of trying his luck.

Thinking about it, it was indeed a little too much for him to let this Landlord Chen help him lay out and design such a formation.

Since that was the case then he could only wait for Dragon Shadow to come out of secluded mediation to ask his Master who was good at the sword path to help him once.

“However since esteemed guest has such huge ambitions, I am really impressed! Three thousand Grand Dao stars, 10800 sword artifacts, how domineering! I am getting more and more curious about your background. I am Chen Yunxuan, you can call me by my name.”

Chen Yuexuan frowned and entered deep thought. Moments later he told Zong Shou to wait before he headed in to take an item.

“Sorry for being unable to make such a large formation. To forcefully design one uses up a lot of lifeforce, I might have a long time to live but I really can’t waste it like that.”

When he said that, Zong Shou’s face flushed red.

He chose to hire others because he wasn’t willing to consume too much of his lifespan.

Only to see him smile as he said, “However it really is a coincidence! A thousand years ago I was able to obtain an ancient sword formation diagram. It was passed down by an artifact cultivator forty thousand years ago from this region, its name if the Ten Extreme Imperial Dao Destruction Sword Formation, maybe it is what you need...”

Ancient artifact cultivator?

Zong Shou’s brow rose up, he had heard of such a term before.

When artifact cultivators roamed the Cloud World hadn’t even appeared.

They were able to use artifacts like a part of their bodies, merging their intents together, their combat strength was often really high.

The sword cultivators and Sword Sect, even Dragon Shadow also obtained some of their legacies.

However this route leaned towards the outer path. It was tough for one to form a Dao using it during the Saint Realm.

Long story short it slowly went out of popularity.

However the extreme strong combat strength that was unique to the artifact cultivators forty years ago still made people today reminisce and envy.

What would this sword formation be like?

He held up the blueprint and was instantly shocked. This paper was made out of an unknown material, the quality was only a small grade worse that the Book of Eon.

A thin piece was heavy enough that he nearly couldn’t hold it up.

It wasn’t that he didn’t have enough strength, but the Dao encapsulated within exceeded what his soul could carry.

When he held it in his hand, he felt like his Soul Ocean was shaking, his soul power was also fluctuating.

On close look there were threads of extremely sharp sword energy charging into his soul.

Small beads of cold sweats appeared all around Zong Shou’s forehead.

He was able to sense more and more how unusual and extraordinary it was.

“I was exactly like you when I came into contact with it! However it was even more dangerous, my soul nearly shattered. It was said that the person who crafted this sword formation was able to fight several End Realm experts and not be at a disadvantage at all, able to stand on the level of Saint Venerables. Unfortunately even if his combat strength was strong he was still unable to form a Dao and died with a withered corpse.”

That Chen Yuexuan seemed to understand Zong Shou’s situation, taking back the blueprint to let him come back to his senses.

“This formation is really similar to your Three Thousand Star Falling Technique. It doesn’t have much special requests for materials, naturally this sword’s quality will affect the strength of the formation. It doesn’t specify the amount, just ten is enough, at most tens of thousands. I also once wanted to try my hand but now isn’t like forty thousand years ago and spiritual treasures aren’t that easy to find. I am also alone and can’t compare to those sects, rich families. In the end I could only give up. Is this enough to satisfy esteemed guest?”

Zong Shou blinked his eyes, his clear gaze shone like stars, his face was filled with desire.

This sword formation was simply a perfect fit for him.

Although the sword formation was making him dizzy when he looked at it, but it would be better when he looked at it in the future.

However he was nervous. He would probably have to pay a huge price to take this item, he would probably have to bleed for it.

Chen Yuexuan just needed to look at his expression and he knew that the answer to the question was obvious. He shook his head and then took out dozens of blueprints which he passed over to Zong Shou.

“Before you give up, I have once spent much effort to analyse the sword formation. As it is too complicated and I am not from the artifact cultivation line, thus I tried to simplify it. In the end when I tried I noticed that I was still unable to complete it! If esteemed guest is interested, you can try from this simplified version. When you have the ability then try your hand at the real...”

He stopped when he said that, his expression suddenly turned solemn and serious.

“However I won’t take money for this, I also won’t trade you for it. If you want to take it you have to make a promise. When you have the ability you also have to help me do something!”

Zong Shou was stunned and looked over with a weird expression, there was totally no surprise at learning that it was free.

With this person’s ability, if there is something that even he couldn’t do then it would be really a big problem.

As compared to this promise, he would rather use those celestial stones to solve it.

However that was true, with this person’s ability he became an artifact blacksmith in such a secluded area. He had to have his reason for doing so.

※※※※

In the end when he left the Tianfang World, Zong Shou still agreed to his request.

The temptation of the sword formation was something that he couldn’t resist.

He knew that it was a huge problem and would have some risk but he still made the promise.

That was because he knew that if he missed it, who knows when he would be able to find such a compatible and strong sword formation blueprint.

Before he left, Chen Yuexuan’s words made him careful.

“Although the sword formation is strong but it consumes a large amount of life force. When I was young I even used up three hundred years because of this, till date I am filled with much regret. The sword is an outer item and one cannot be too focused on its power and also can’t dwell too deeply into it. Cultivators like us cultivate for tens of thousands of years to be able to reach the end of the Dao to live forever? This is the true path. Thinking about that senior from forty thousand years ago, I really pity him...”

He was really caring when he said those words, filling Zong Shou up with much emotions.

Right path? How would I not know that?

Outside Tianfang World, Zong Shou shook his head and laughed.

At this time the Taoist Faction was still eyeing him aggressively and they wouldn’t give up so easily.

Before this problem was totally solved, he was faced with the Lu Family pressure too.

Killing Lu Zi also offended a strong enemy which was connected with him in terms of the bloodline.

If he didn’t prepare such abilities to protect himself, how could he be at ease?

However if not for him already prepared to go from complicated to simple, he really didn’t dare to take the blueprints of this Ten Extreme Imperial Dao Destruction Sword Formation...
