Chapter 788 - 789: Goodbye, Nameless
Hearing this, Lin Kuang was slightly startled. He truly didn’t know. After all, no one had ever told him, so how could he possibly be aware of it?
"I don’t know. No one ever told me," Lin Kuang said, frustrated, as he looked at Diwu Baiyu.
Diwu Baiyu nodded. "It’s normal that you don’t know. Not many people are aware of this secret."
Lin Kuang blinked. If that’s the case, why even ask me? Is he just messing with me?
"Alright, we’re almost there," Diwu Baiyu said with a smile. "Once the seal on the Nameless Sword is released, it will be a great help to your strength. At the very least, it will enhance your power somewhat."
Lin Kuang nodded and asked curiously, "Senior, is the reason you’re unsealing the Nameless Sword just to open that so-called treasure?"
Diwu Baiyu nodded. "You could say that. Finding the treasure would be a great help to us. You must understand, it contains precious experience left behind by our predecessors. That experience is extremely important to us. With it, I, and others, might be able to find our own paths, get the answers we seek, and achieve breakthroughs in our strength. In that case, our odds of defeating the Demon Sect will be much greater." This was precisely why Diwu Baiyu wanted to open the treasure.
"I understand," Lin Kuang said, nodding. "So, you mean that once the seals on both the Nameless Sword and the Slash Path Sword are broken, we’ll go find the treasure, right?"
"Yes. The moment both seals are undone is when we will go search for the treasure. It will be very dangerous because we aren’t the only ones who want it—the Demon Sect is after it as well. At that time, an intense clash between our people and theirs will be inevitable."
Lin Kuang nodded. It was true. A treasure containing the martial arts experience of predecessors was a matter of supreme importance to any Ancient Warrior. With that experience, they could resolve their confusion about their Martial Arts and advance to a whole new level of strength!
"We’ve arrived. This is it. Let’s get out," Diwu Baiyu said.
Lin Kuang stopped the car and looked ahead. Before them was a forest, where a lone figure stood among the trees. The person’s back was turned, making them impossible to recognize. Diwu Baiyu was already getting out of the car, and Lin Kuang followed him.
"Old fellow, I brought him," Diwu Baiyu called out with a smile. It seemed he was quite familiar with the man.
"You old fellow," the other person chuckled, then turned around to face Lin Kuang.
When Lin Kuang saw the man’s face, he was stunned. It was the Nameless old man!
"Nameless Senior?" Lin Kuang asked in surprise.
"That’s right, it’s me. It’s been a long time, kid," the Nameless old man said with a smile. "The improvement in your strength is truly staggering."
Lin Kuang quickly shook his head, momentarily at a loss for words. He had many things he wanted to ask the Nameless old man, yet at that moment, he didn’t know how to begin.
"Let’s not talk anymore for now. Later, I’ll tell you whatever you want to know," the Nameless old man said with a smile. "Right now, I’m going to help the Nameless Sword break its seal."
Lin Kuang nodded. This was a major event, and he naturally wouldn’t dare to delay it. With that thought, he handed the Nameless Sword to the Nameless old man.
When the Nameless Sword landed in the Nameless old man’s hands, it trembled lightly, as if it possessed a spirit.
"Old fellow, aren’t you coming over to help?" the Nameless old man asked, his gaze falling upon Diwu Baiyu.
"You need me for such a small thing? I thought you could handle it easily on your own," Diwu Baiyu teased with a smile.
The Nameless old man shot Diwu Baiyu a displeased look, but Diwu Baiyu simply smiled and walked up to him.
"Are you ready?" the Nameless old man asked, his tone becoming much more solemn.
Diwu Baiyu also nodded seriously. "I’m ready. Let’s begin."
The Nameless old man nodded gravely. His fingers danced across the blade of the Nameless Sword with the grace of a calligrapher, drawing back and forth in fluid, serpentine strokes. Lin Kuang couldn’t tell what he was drawing at all. Simultaneously, the Nameless Sword began to tremble violently, emitting a low BUZZING sound, as if resisting or in great pain. Lin Kuang watched quietly, completely baffled.
After more than ten minutes, the Nameless old man shouted, "Old fellow, act now!"
Diwu Baiyu nodded sharply. His palms began to move as a powerful torrent of True Qi surged wildly into the Nameless Sword. Simultaneously, a faint, fluorescent glow emerged around the two elders, forming a Light Barrier that completely enveloped them. Lin Kuang watched intently, shocked by the spectacle. It was his first time witnessing such a sight.
Diwu Baiyu’s formidable True Qi poured wildly into the sword’s blade. At the same time, the Nameless old man pressed both hands against the Nameless Sword, his own True Qi also flooding into it. The faces of the two elders were extremely grave as they gave it their all.
After a full five or six minutes, both men stopped at the same time and quickly backed out of the Light Barrier. The instant they were clear, the Nameless Sword, lying quietly on the ground, erupted with a dazzling light that seemed powerful enough to pierce the heavens. However, the Light Barrier surrounding it completely contained the brilliant blast.
"Old fellow, it’s a success!" Diwu Baiyu exclaimed excitedly.
The Nameless old man also nodded in excitement, his face lit up with joy.
Lin Kuang watched in confusion, not understanding the purpose of the Light Barrier. Is it just to block the light from the Nameless Sword?
Thinking this, he couldn’t help but ask, "Seniors, what is that Light Barrier for?"
"You mean that Light Barrier?" the Nameless old man explained with a smile. "Naturally, it’s to block the light that erupts from the Nameless Sword. Otherwise, after its seal is broken, the sword will become so brilliant that it could be sensed by certain powerful individuals. That would be very disadvantageous for us. We can’t let those people know just yet, so this Light Barrier serves to provide cover."
