Creation of the Universe

What kind of monster could achieve three consecutive breakthroughs in cultivation during battle?

Such a thing is unheard of in the whole world.

When Shen Zhan swung the sword, Wang Tonghai suddenly made a decision and retreated.

Fear arose in his heart. He felt that if he continued fighting like this, it would force out an even more terrifying enemy, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

When Wang Tonghai fled in fear, Shen Zhan was no longer able to catch up with him. He looked at the bastard's embarrassed escape and swore that the next time he saw him, he would kill him on the spot.

The battle ended and peace returned to the surroundings.

Only then did Shen Zhan clearly hear his own heavy breathing. This new power was still running around in his body without any control. If he had not been forced by the situation, he would not have released all the power without control.

He wanted to use the Wu Xiu realm to fight against the Wu Ling realm, which was a risky move. Although he won half of the bet, he also paid a price.

"My current body seems to have reached its limit."

Shen Zhan sat down on the spot. He had to calm his breath, otherwise he would not be able to move forward.

When fighting with Wang Tonghai, it was indeed domineering for him to break through three levels in a row, but such a rapid increase in cultivation was against the laws of nature. First of all, his body could not bear it. He was lucky that he did not collapse in front of Wang Tonghai just now.

Just as Shen Zhan was regulating his breathing, a peddler carrying a load passed by, glanced at him sideways, and made a clicking sound.

The people in the Sword Forging City were no strangers to warriors from all over the world. After every fight, the ground was left in a mess and with corpses of the dead.

In the eyes of the vendor, it was good enough that Shen Zhan was still able to breathe.

About half an hour later, Shen Zhan slowly stood up, and his originally sore and tense limbs also relaxed a little, but his plan to go to the Black Peak Tower to snatch the Ruoshui Sword tonight had to be put on hold.

In his current state, it would be a pipe dream for him to want to fight Baili Yu again. Even if Baili Yu was not present, he had no confidence that he could escape calmly from the pursuit and blockade of the guards.

Shen Zhan looked around and only then had the strength to retrieve the long sword that had fallen to the ground. However, when he was about to put the sword into the map of mountains, rivers and stars as usual, the sword body suddenly began to vibrate uncontrollably.

This had never happened before, and Shen Zhan was confused for a moment as to what was going on.

Helplessly, Shen Zhan could only hold the sword in his hand and carefully return to the pharmacy where everyone was temporarily hiding.

After making sure that no one was following him, Shen Zhan jumped into the wall. They were in the backyard of the drugstore, with two side rooms on the east and west sides. Although they were not very eye-catching, they were spacious and clean, making them very comfortable to live in.

Tang Muqing was the first to see Shen Zhan coming back. When she found that Shen Zhan's clothes were torn, and he had many sword wounds and was still bleeding, she was so scared that she ran over hurriedly.

"Mr. Shen, what happened?"

"I'm going to bandage you right away."

Shen Zhan wanted to say no, he could handle this little thing himself, but before he could dissuade him, Tang Muqing had already turned around to fetch water and medicine. This girl was really worried about his injury.

After a while, Xia Wenxiu and Dong Ping followed Tang Muqing to Shen Zhan's side. The two girls did not avoid suspicion and started to clean Shen Zhan's wound and apply medicine and bandage it.

Shen Zhan looked at their worried expressions and said, "These are just minor injuries. I can heal them with my Qigong."

Dong Ping said, "Master Shen, let them help. Stopping the bleeding and applying medicine will allow for a more complete recovery. Using internal energy to heal injuries is only a temporary measure after all."

Shen Zhan nodded, and then told the three people about his previous experience.

Tang Muqing said, "I'm glad you're okay, but I wonder what your enemy's purpose is in coming to Sword Forge City? Is it related to the Trial Conference?"

"Yes, if he is also here for the Trial Conference, then you might fight again soon."

As Xia Wenxiu spoke, she carefully tore open a corner of her clothes that was soaked in blood.

Shen Zhan didn't know Wang Tonghai's purpose in coming to the Sword Casting City, but he noticed a place that not many people paid attention to.

"Ruoshui Sword and Juque Sword, two sixth-grade famous swords have appeared in this city. I'm not sure if this is a coincidence, and I don't know if there are other famous swords in the city, but they all seem to be vaguely related to the Sword Ruins."

This reminded Dong Ping. After a moment's thought, he said, "I also spotted quite a few people carrying good swords in the city during the day. Although they weren't of the sixth rank, they were still rare to see."

"Everyone seems to have intentionally or unintentionally brought their best swords to Sword Forge City. Is there some conspiracy behind this?"

Shen Zhan pondered in silence. He always felt that he seemed to have overlooked something crucial, but he really couldn't remember where the problem came from.

Just when everyone was feeling confused and puzzled about this, a heroic and clear voice sounded from outside the courtyard gate.

Ding Yi slowly walked over and told Shen Zhan, "The man you fought with was most likely invited here by Xuanjinmen. He has the Juque sword in his hand, plus my stolen Ruoshui sword. There are at least two sixth-grade famous swords appearing in the city right now.

This means that as long as another famous sword of at least the sixth grade appears, Xuanjinmen will have the possibility of tempering a famous sword of the seventh grade in the Sword Ruins.

When I saw you fighting before, I was sure that the sword in your hand must be above the sixth rank!"

After hearing what Ding Yi said, Shen Zhan suddenly understood that the reason why Xuan Jinmen spared no effort to come up with all these things was actually to forge swords in Jianxu!

Dong Ping was shocked. "Shouldn't the place where Xuanjinmen forged the sword be in his own sect's sword-forging pavilion?"

"Forging ordinary swords is naturally done in the Sword Forging Pavilion, but this time they are very ambitious and want to forge a seventh-grade famous sword. You must know that swords above the seventh grade in the world are beyond human power. They are all the work of the gods, born from the power of the heavens.

Xuan Jin Men must choose to forge swords in the Sword Ruins to have a chance of forging a seventh-grade sword. This requires thorough preparation in advance, such as gathering three sixth-grade famous swords to suppress the evil spirits running rampant in the Sword Ruins.

Ding Yi told the story slowly and helped everyone clear up their doubts.

Shen Zhan looked at the long sword in his hand and said, "Actually, I don't know the name, origin, or even the grade of this sword. I just feel like I've met an old friend when I hold it in my hand. The sword and I trust each other and share the same spirit."

Ding Yi said, "No matter what the origin of this sword is, it will definitely become the key to shaking up the situation in Sword Forging City!"
