Chapter 1471 - 1448: Taking a Disciple!
The Ling Family disciples were all astonished.
Even Ling Fufu was quite surprised.
The Sword Tomb is the most tightly guarded area of the Ling Family, preserving the personal weapons left behind by strong individuals throughout the ages, including two or three swords on the same level as the Blue Rose Sword.
As for the hot springs on the back mountain, it is a forbidden area of the Ling Family that can only be accessed with the consent of Ling Family elders. Ordinary disciples do not have the privilege to visit the hot springs.
Like Ling Mengmeng, she was able to go to the hot springs on the back mountain and awaken her bloodline there only because she received the joint approval of the elders from the Artisan Hall.
Ye Huan wasn’t very familiar with these two places, so Ling Luzhou gave him an introduction.
After listening, Ye Huan nodded slightly but was still curious: "Grandmother, why does the Ling Family specifically want me to awaken my bloodline?"
Ling Luzhou smiled gently and explained: "It’s simple. Haven’t you noticed that, aside from the extreme yang energy, your bloodline doesn’t provide you with any substantial help? Moreover, the extreme yang energy within you was created through an Ancient Martial Killing Technique and is particularly violent and frenzied, which is abnormal."
"Generally, under normal circumstances, men who possess the ancestral Yanhuang bloodline naturally generate a layer of calmness from the extreme yang energy, which doesn’t harm the body. This energy nourishes your bloodline and channels perpetually, strengthening your bones and muscles and enhancing your strength."
"Your great-grandfather realized that you don’t have this kind of extreme yang energy within you, thus deducing that your bloodline is dormant and unawakened, hence deciding to have you undergo the bloodline awakening ritual in the back mountain."
"Once successfully awakened, not only will you develop an ’gentle’ extreme yang energy of great utility, but the Ling Family bloodline and the Sword Family bloodline will also provide you with other benefits."
"For instance, accelerated speed in practicing Ancient Martial Killing Techniques and enhanced understanding."
"Your current talent and power are already so formidable, as your grandmother, I can hardly imagine how monstrous you will become after your bloodline is awakened."
At this point, Ling Luzhou couldn’t help but be a little envious of Ye Huan’s talent.
This child is definitely the chosen one!
Ye Huan’s eyes lit up. If the benefits of awakening his bloodline are indeed this significant, then he could achieve another leap in strength in a very short time, giving him more confidence to leave the Endless Deep Mountains and wage a final battle with the sequence!
This visit to the Ling Family proved to be immensely rewarding.
Not only did he learn the specific range of his power and agility and master the Cyan Lotus Sword Technique, but he also had the chance to awaken his dormant bloodline.
As Ye Huan was contemplating this, Ling Luzhou suddenly continued, her tone filled with confusion as she stroked her chin: "It’s just strange. Normally, the bloodlines of disciples from the Hundred Families are naturally activated, but your three purest bloodlines are all dormant, which is quite unusual."
"However, given that someone possesses three purest bloodlines... this is unprecedented in the Endless Deep Mountains, so it’s fairly normal to be unusual."
Ling Luzhou muttered to herself for a few moments, resolving her doubts, then noticed Ye Huan’s perplexed gaze directed at her. With a mysterious smile, seemingly aware of what Ye Huan wanted to ask, she pulled out a sheepskin scroll and handed it to Ye Huan: "See for yourself."
Ye Huan nodded and took the scroll.
Upon opening it, his eyes shone brightly.
The Ling Family Intelligence Hall — Huaxia Weapon Ranking, Top Ten!
The title indicated that this was a weapon ranking compiled by the Ling Family Intelligence Hall, which had expended enormous effort collecting weapon information from various places.
[Tenth place: The Sword of Goujian, King of Yue!]
[Ninth: Gan Jiang and Mo Ye!]
[Eighth: Fish Intestine Sword!]
[...]
[Fifth place: Blue Rose Sword, forged by the current Artisan Hall Hall Master of the Ling Family, Ling Tiehammer, who is praised as a God of Weaponry. The sword is made with ancient ice crystal from the top of Huaxia’s National Guardian Mountain — the Himalayas, along with various rare materials tempered for eighty-nine days, then cast using lava from thousands of meters beneath Vesuvius. Its sharpness and toughness are shocking, with the blade containing extreme cold energy, greatly amplifying attack capabilities! Currently, it is the personal weapon of the Ling Family’s eldest daughter, Ling Fufu!]
[Forging purpose: To create a counterpart sword equal to the Huaxia Sword’s grade—an auspicious mate sword! But alas, the grade of the Blue Rose Sword is high, yet it is still vastly inferior to the Huaxia Sword! Ling Tiehammer found this after its completion and fainted from despair, later undergoing depression treatment in the ICU...]
Perhaps because the history of other weapons is too distant, lacking records, their rankings were summarized briefly, while the Blue Rose Sword, forged within the last century, was described in detail, including its crafting technique and the user’s information.
Even the forging purpose was crystal-clear!
But what shocked Ye Huan was that such a powerful Blue Rose Sword couldn’t even compare with Huaxia Sword!
Ye Huan continued reading, his eyes narrowing.
The fourth-ranked weapon was surprisingly the personal sword of Dragon Gate’s Sect Leader Di Lunhui — the Sword of World Dominion!
This long sword has an impressive origin; it was crafted by the founding father Ling Tianming, who fought life-and-death battles against Rakshasa armies to protect Huaxia, while diligently seeking materials and requesting the joint crafting efforts of the Ling family’s elders. It embodies the dragon’s pulse energy of the Huaxia land, known as Silver Dragon!
Its might is boundless!
From the name "World Dominion," it’s evident that this sword is formidable, reputed to quell all enemies of the world!
The swords ranked third and second are both renowned.
Every Huaxia native knows.
Ranked third is the Sword of Cheng Ying.
Ranked second is the Sword of Chi Xiao.
The top weapon on the list is none other than the Huaxia Sword!
[Huaxia Sword, also known as Xuanyuan Sword, a divine weapon of Huaxia, forged by the Huaxia progenitor Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor using many mystical materials that had already vanished from Huaxia’s land. Its crafting technique is so advanced that none has been able to replicate it to this day! In addition, the Yellow Emperor used a unique method to gather dragon’s pulse energy from Huaxia, introducing the dragon energy into the sword, sculpting sun, moon, and stars on one side of the blade, and mountains, rivers, and vegetation on the other side, with the hilt inscribed with agricultural and vegetation principles on one side and strategies for unifying the four seas on the other.]
[A slice of the Xuanyuan Sword can cleave mountains and part seas, considered the world’s most lethal weapon, Huaxia’s strongest divine weapon, unmatched by any weapon in existence!]
[It currently resides in the Ling Family’s Sword Tomb, but for thousands of years, no one has been able to pull out this divine weapon!]
[Rumor has it that it awaits a person deemed worthy of shouldering the responsibility of protecting Huaxia’s land!]
[There is also a rumor suggesting its soul has long departed with the Yellow Emperor, no longer belonging to anyone, recognizing no master, rendering it impossible to pull out and use!]
Having read the introduction of Huaxia Sword - Xuanyuan Sword, Ye Huan’s brow furrowed into a "川" character, turning to look at Ling Luzhou.
About to speak, Ling Luzhou nodded toward him, with an incredibly serious expression, solemnly stating: "Yes, your great-grandfather believes you are the Huaxia Guardian capable of pulling out the Xuanyuan Sword!"
