Chapter 301
He never expected to find such a massive field of it inside the Immortal Burial Ancient Tomb, could the master of this tomb be a Sword Immortal? Adam thought back to the forty-nine precious swords from the previous restriction.
"Young Master, what is Sword Grass?" Cecilia asked curiously.
Adam briefly explained, and Cecilia’s eyes instantly lit up.
As a sword cultivator, she was naturally deeply interested, moreover, she now had fifty swords on her person, if she could enhance all of them, the boost to her combat strength would be astronomical.
"Young Master, how do we harvest this Sword Grass? Even your sword aura couldn’t cut through it!"
"No rush, so far, no actual danger has appeared within this restriction, and that makes my heart uneasy!" Adam shook his head, after so long, aside from that brief moment just now, everything was simply too peaceful.
Sometimes, being too quiet isn’t a good thing, especially in a bizarre place like the Immortal Burial Ancient Tomb, having no apparent danger is the greatest danger of all.
Because they had no idea what would happen next, there was no way to prepare for it.
Just like right now, Adam had no clue how to handle this restriction, there wasn’t even an entrance to the next one.
Did he really have to cut down all the Sword Grass here? If he went all out, he could certainly cut it, but with so much of it, would he be cutting until the end of time?
"Young Master, should I drop down and take a look?" Cecilia knew they were at a stalemate and needed something to break the deadlock.
"No rush, let’s wait, I’ll cut some down first!" Adam didn’t let Cecilia go down rashly.
They had been hovering in mid-air and were unfamiliar with the environment hidden within the grass, if danger was truly lurking, he would still need to expend effort to cleave through this Sword Grass.
As his voice fell, the Yellow Emperor’s Sword erupted with intense radiant light.
Grass-Character Sword Technique, Second Stance. Spring Radiance!
The sword intent was like spring grass growing vigorously in the springtime, brimming with absolute sharpness, it slashed directly toward the Sword Grass below.
Sensing the threat, the soft Sword Grass instantly straightened, its blades turning completely rigid to resist the incoming sword intent.
Another crisp, metallic sound rang out.
This time, the Sword Grass didn’t return to its original state.
Under Adam’s sword qi, it snapped cleanly at the roots, the severed Sword Grass revealed emerald-green stems, looking just like ordinary green grass.
However, Adam and Cecilia’s breathing momentarily stagnated, lying on the ground at the roots of the Sword Grass were many skeletons.
They looked as if they had been dead for countless ages.
Both of them furrowed their brows, they had never expected such a horrific scene hidden beneath the grass.
"Young Master, what should we do? One look and you can tell these skeletons have been dead for a very long time!" Cecilia was afraid to go down now, it wasn’t that she was cowardly.
There was definitely a reason these skeletons had died down there, going down rashly would be no different from throwing their lives away.
"Keep cutting!" Adam continued swinging, now that an unexpected situation had arisen, they needed to investigate further.
One streak of sword qi after another slashed toward the field, like harvested crops, the Sword Grass began to fall over, what was revealed beneath was even more skeletons.
A rough estimate put the body count at over a hundred already.
A solemn light flashed through Adam’s eyes, such a massive quantity shattered one of his hypotheses, that these were cultivators who had come seeking opportunities during previous Heaven and Earth Upheavals.
With this many, it was simply abnormal, setting aside how many people could actually enter the tomb, even if they did, it was impossible for them to reach this deep.
There was only one Grand Flame Dao Talisman, and it couldn’t bring this many people into such deep restrictions, he and Cecilia had only reached this point because of the talisman.
It could tremendously weaken the restrictions, but its power covered two people at most, last time it was him and the Sword Sect Master, this time him and Cecilia.
Otherwise, even with his strength, it probably would have been difficult to cleave through this Sword Grass, could these hundred-plus people all have been experts above the Sixth Heaven of the Deity Realm? That lineup would be terrifying, what Imperial Clan could boast such a deployment?
Adam speculated as he stood atop the Sword Grass, gripping the Yellow Emperor’s Sword and continuing to sever the grass at its roots.
Cecilia was off to the side, using spiritual energy to transport the severed Sword Grass, these were all treasures, after all, she did her best to avoid touching the skeletons, afraid of triggering accidents.
In no time, Adam had harvested a small pile, and Cecilia had stuffed a storage bag full, but their expressions weren’t happy, as more ground was exposed, even more skeletons appeared.
From the initial estimate of over a hundred, the number rose to thousands, and then even more, they were densely packed everywhere.
The ghastly white bones seemed to emit a chilling aura that made one shudder, thousands of people had died on this barren plain, Adam narrowed his eyes, something had gone horribly wrong here.
"Young Master, how should we handle this Sword Grass? My storage bag is already full," Cecilia asked, holding up her pouch.
"Keep packing it, I have plenty of storage bags!" Adam said calmly, pulling several from his robes and tossing them to her.
He had prepared these in advance, ever since the Book Saint incident and the Demon-Slaying Mountain incident, Adam had learned the vital importance of storage bags, stocking up was definitely never a bad thing.
He then looked at the waist-high field of Sword Grass, having no idea when it would end, but since the danger wasn’t showing itself, it’d be a waste not to take this Sword Grass.
