Chapter 1490 - 1467: Not Recognized!
The long sword showed no response.
Ye Huan stared at it for a while, then looked away and began checking other swords in the Sword Tomb.
Soon, he became puzzled, as he found himself unable to establish any spiritual connection or sense with these treasured swords, as if they simply didn’t think much of him.
What is going on?
Logically speaking, isn’t it true that the stronger one’s bloodline and talent, the more likely they are to gain the recognition of the treasured swords?
Ye Huan was somewhat confused, unable to understand the situation before him.
Meanwhile, people in the crowd were gradually gaining the recognition of the swords, as one after another heaven-defying weapon soared across the air, landing steadily in the hands of the Ling Family disciples.
Some received Divine Guard-level weapons, while others received Divine General-level weapons.
Ling Mengmeng stunned the entire field by acquiring a Celestial God-level weapon!
"The sword in Mengmeng cousin’s hand is the legendary Seven Star Longyuan Sword, nearly reaching the Divine King level of heaven-defying divine weapons! Damn, wasn’t Mengmeng cousin’s blood purity reduced due to ancestor’s punishment, wasn’t her power greatly diminished? How could she still gain the recognition of such a powerful divine weapon and even establish a master-servant relationship with it?!"
Someone in the crowd let out a cry full of shock and disbelief!
And then, an even more shocking scene unfolded.
"Whoosh—"
"Whoosh—"
Two long swords flew out from the Sword Tomb, swiftly landing in the hands of Ling Yao and Ling Zhiyuan!
They were the Chixiao Sword, ranked second in Huaxia’s weapon register, and the Cheng Ying Sword, ranked third!
"Damn!!!"
Ling Yao and Ling Zhiyuan looked at the radiant, fiercely-spirited, noble, and ancient treasured swords in their hands, their eyes practically popped out, and their jaws dropped to the ground!
"What is going on, we didn’t even attempt to establish a spiritual connection with these swords!"
"We just took one look, and they recognized us!"
"This shouldn’t happen. Logically, with our talent and strength, we don’t qualify for the recognition of these treasured swords!"
"Damn!!!"
Ling Yao and Ling Zhiyuan cursed again, their faces filled with disbelief, evidently shocked by the sudden recognition from Chixiao Sword and Cheng Ying Sword!
This also brought extreme shock to those around!
"Without attempting to establish a connection, they got recognized by the second and third treasured swords? How is this possible? Could it be that Ling Yao cousin and Zhiyuan cousin are deliberately pretending to be humble to say this?"
"Absolutely not pretending. I was watching earlier; as soon as they glanced at the two swords, in just a few seconds, the swords suddenly flew into their hands. Attempting to establish a connection with the weapon usually takes at least ten minutes, right? Being recognized in just a few seconds means there’s only one possibility: Chixiao and Cheng Ying greatly recognize Ling Yao cousin and Zhiyuan cousin’s talent!"
"This is truly shocking, my gosh! These are two genuine Divine King-level weapons, and they actually chose Ling Yao cousin and Zhiyuan cousin as their masters on their own, such a thing has never happened in history!"
"Moreover, could it be that the automatic acceptance of these two swords signifies that Ling Yao cousin and Zhiyuan cousin’s loss of blood purity and power is only temporary, and they actually possess heaven-defying talent and potential, ensuring they will reach the pinnacle in the future?"
The Ling family disciples discussed for a while, then thought for a bit, finally arriving at one conclusion: "Very likely!"
Cheng Ying Sword and Chixiao Sword have been in the Sword Tomb for uncountable years, definitely not less than five thousand! These are two historically enduring Divine King-level weapons, certainly possessing keen discernment; their recognition of Ling Yao and Ling Zhiyuan undoubtedly indicates their talent is super exceptional!
"Cousin Ling Yao, Cousin Zhiyuan, congratulations!" Ling Mengmeng sincerely expressed happiness for the two, showing a sweet smile!
"Cousin Mengmeng, congratulations to you too, haha!"
Ling Yao and Ling Zhiyuan couldn’t contain their excitement, feeling that they now have the qualification to pursue Ling Mengmeng, even considering making her theirs on the bed, turning her into their plaything.
The two felt that happiness had come too suddenly, as just an hour ago, they had been thrown into a pit of despair because of a massive decline in their martial talent and ancient martial power. Now, they had successfully climbed back, riding on the prestige of two heaven-defying treasured swords ranked second and third in Huaxia’s weapon register, showcasing their prowess to the world!
This indicated that their talent had earned recognition!
With the acknowledgment of heaven-defying weapons, it would surely be easier to find a master!
Thinking of this, the two covertly glanced at Ling Wuye and Ling Zhenhai.
Seeing the Patriarch and the Grand Elder looking utterly flabbergasted, as if they never expected them to gain the recognition of Chixiao Sword and Cheng Ying Sword, Ling Yao and Ling Zhiyuan felt ecstatic, even more excited.
In this situation, the success rate of finding a master had skyrocketed!
Recovering their bloodline purity and strength and reaching the pinnacle of life was just within reach!
Ling Yao and Ling Zhiyuan laughed wildly to themselves, then secretly glanced at Ye Huan, whose lack of gain made their lips show faint mockery and teasing.
The esteemed Huaxia Dragon Son didn’t lead everyone in obtaining the recognition of a heaven-defying weapon.
It’s truly unworthy of that title and bloodline.
Ling Mengmeng, seeing Ye Huan without a gain, also felt somewhat schadenfreude.
The crowd whispered amongst themselves, casting peculiar glances at Ye Huan.
Logically, Ye Huan, known for having the strongest talent, purest blood, and greatest strength among the Ling family disciples present, should have been most likely to gain the recognition of Cheng Ying and Chixiao, yet those two swords chose not Ye Huan, but Ling Yao and Ling Zhiyuan.
What’s the situation here?
Nobody knew.
As everyone remained puzzled, Ye Huan stepped towards the Sword Tomb and entered within.
The next second, an unexpected event occurred!
A scene that shocked everyone present unfolded!
Ye Huan tried to reach out and communicate with a Celestial God-level sword—the Zhen Tian Sword, when it suddenly soared into the air, retreating thirty meters, stabbing directly into a mountain rock, blatantly refusing any communication with Ye Huan!
Ye Huan continued his attempts to communicate with the Celestial God-level sword and several Divine King-level swords, all of which leaped into the air, scattering away, not even giving Ye Huan a chance to touch them, almost treating Ye Huan like the Plague God, avoiding him as much as possible.
This left Ye Huan utterly perplexed, as he could feel these swords displaying a fear from their very core when he tried to touch them!
Damn, he didn’t have anything dirty on his hands, so what were they afraid of?
Ye Huan couldn’t make sense of it, while those outside the Sword Tomb couldn’t perceive any such fear from the swords.
In their eyes, the swords were simply rejecting Ye Huan, not giving him a chance to communicate!
"..."
The entire scene fell silent!
Then, Ling Mengmeng and Ling Yao, along with those who previously stood against Ye Huan, burst into laughter!
"Haha, what’s going on with Ye Huan? With his talent, shouldn’t communicating and gaining recognition from a Celestial God sword be easy? How is he so awkward, haha!"
"I’m laughing to death! These swords recognize us but reject Ye Huan so much! Does this mean our talent is stronger than Ye Huan’s, hahaha!"
"Our talent might not be stronger, but in gaining the swords’ recognition, we certainly outshine Ye Huan, haha!"
From yesterday to today, Ling Yao and Ling Zhiyuan had been overshadowed by Ye Huan, harboring resentment and dissatisfaction, unable to find an outlet for these emotions.
Now that they finally surpassed Ye Huan, Ling Yao and Ling Zhiyuan seized the opportunity to jovially mock Ye Huan, feeling all of that pent-up frustration and annoyance being completely vented!
