Chapter 601: Sword, Come!
Spirit Moon Cold Smoke Sword!
The onlookers were stunned. They knew this sword was a King’s Weapon, and a top-tier one at that. However, it had been in a deep slumber all this time. It was said that awakening it was incredibly difficult; only by mastering the Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship could one hope to do so. Even mastering a single move would be enough. Yet, for so many years, no one had succeeded. No one could even master one move. Thus, the sword had remained dormant, unusable by anyone.
But now, the sword had awakened.
This surely meant that someone had finally mastered the Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship. Recalling Jian Wushuang’s earlier roar, they were now certain. He had mastered the Swordsmanship, and that was why he had roared with excitement. The Spirit Moon Cold Smoke Sword must have also been awakened by Jian Wushuang.
Jian Wushuang truly is a peerless Sword Dao genius. He actually mastered a Swordsmanship that no one has been able to learn for hundreds of years.
"Hahahaha! Jian Wushuang has mastered the ultimate Swordsmanship! Now that he can awaken the King’s Divine Sword, his future is surely boundless!"
On Golden Sword Peak, Jian Wushuang himself was also dumbfounded. He turned his head, and when he saw the Sword Qi piercing the heavens, his body trembled.
That’s the Spirit Moon Cold Smoke Sword... it’s awakened! How is that possible? Who awakened it? Could it be that someone mastered the Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship? I certainly haven’t mastered it, so who could it be?
Jian Wushuang turned to look at Tang Rou. Could Clan Leader Tang have mastered it?
Just as he was about to ask, a loud laugh suddenly erupted from the mountaintop ahead. "Hahahaha, the legend is indeed true! Mastering the Swordsmanship really can summon the Spirit Moon Cold Smoke Sword. It seems this sword and I are fated to be."
Upon hearing this, Jian Wushuang sharply raised his head to look at Lin Xuan, his face filled with shock.
Could Lin Xuan have awakened the sword? Impossible, absolutely impossible. That brat is only a three-star Grandmaster. How could he possibly awaken a King’s Weapon? Only by mastering the Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship can this sword be summoned, and there’s no way that kid could have mastered it. He must be bragging and spouting nonsense again.
At the foot of the mountain, the people of the True Dragon Sect also heard Lin Xuan’s laughter, causing an uproar.
"That’s Lin Xuan’s voice!"
"What did he say? That he awakened this sword?"
"Is he for real?"
"Utter nonsense," an elder said coldly. "Who does he think he is, trying to awaken a King’s Weapon? In his dreams!"
Nearby, Mo Feng snorted coldly. "I admit, that kid has a powerful Divine Sword, but it was given to him by the Ye Family. With his own strength, how could he possibly awaken the Spirit Moon Cold Smoke Sword?"
The Sect Leader didn’t believe it either. He stated, "Only by mastering the Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship can the Spirit Moon Cold Smoke Sword be awakened. That kid absolutely could not have mastered it."
"Exactly! Even his Golden Sword Order was given to him by someone else. His own strength is completely lacking."
"How could he possibly have mastered the Swordsmanship?"
The crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief. So that was it. It seemed the kid was just bragging again. They had almost been fooled by him once more.
"That kid is truly despicable. Someone should really teach him a lesson."
"Jian Wushuang is also on the mountain. He’ll most likely take action."
"If Senior Brother Wushuang takes action, he’s sure to defeat that kid."
"That Lin Xuan will probably be defeated in one move by Senior Brother Wushuang."
"That’s for certain. He isn’t even fit to carry Senior Brother Wushuang’s shoes."
The crowd discussed excitedly.
Jian Wushuang was indeed furious. He felt Lin Xuan was too arrogant and completely unaware of his own limitations. He said coldly, "You awakened the Divine Sword? Who do you think you are? Are you worthy? This is our True Dragon Sect’s Divine Sword. Only people from our True Dragon Sect can awaken it. You want to awaken it? Maybe in your next life."
In his eyes, Lin Xuan was just a tiny ant. How could someone so weak possibly awaken the Spirit Moon Cold Smoke Sword?
"How could a frog at the bottom of a well like you possibly comprehend my strength?" Lin Xuan sneered.
Jian Wushuang was enraged. He took a step forward and roared, "What did you say? Kid, you really love to brag! Didn’t you say you awakened the Divine Sword? If you have the guts, summon it over here! If you can summon it, I’ll kowtow to you ten times in public."
Jian Wushuang simply didn’t believe him.
Hearing this, Lin Xuan laughed heartily. "Sword, come!"
As his voice fell, deep within the True Dragon Sect, the Spirit Moon Cold Smoke Sword responded to the summons. It soared into the sky, transforming into a peerless beam of sword light and rushing toward Golden Sword Peak. Wherever it passed, the void shook violently as if it were about to shatter.
In the True Dragon Sect, numerous disciples and elders looked up at the sky, their bodies trembling.
"Good heavens! What a terrifying aura!"
"Is this what a top-tier King’s Weapon is like?"
"So powerful!"
"Look! The Spirit Moon Cold Smoke Sword is heading towards Golden Sword Peak! What’s going on?"
The people of the True Dragon Sect were filled with confusion. Only the Sect Leader laughed heartily. "I understand! It must be Jian Wushuang summoning the sword!"
"Really? That’s great!"
"Senior Brother Wushuang is so mighty!"
"Senior Brother Wushuang is invincible!"
The crowd cheered. They could just imagine how dashing and suave Jian Wushuang would look with the sword in hand.
The sword instantly shot towards Golden Sword Peak, causing the entire mountain to shake violently as well.
On the mountain, Tang Rou’s face changed drastically, as if she were facing a formidable enemy. Jian Wushuang’s eyes widened even more.
Good heavens, what am I seeing? The Spirit Moon Cold Smoke Sword actually flew over! It was summoned by someone... Was it summoned by Lin Xuan? Impossible, that’s absolutely impossible!
He shook his head frantically. But in the next moment, he saw the sword rushing directly toward Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan reached out and grasped the sword.
Seeing this, Jian Wushuang felt like he was going mad. He stood there, stunned, his mind a complete blank.
After grasping the sword, Lin Xuan himself was incredibly excited. He quickly looked at the sword hilt and, sure enough, discovered a pearl inlaid at the top of the pommel. However, the pearl’s shape was not what he had imagined. Moonlight circled the pearl, making it look like a Moonlight Pearl.
He was stunned. Is this really the Golden Spirit Pearl? Why does it look different from the other Spirit Pearls I’ve seen before?
At this moment, the Dragon Maiden’s voice rang out, "That’s because Xiao Wentian used a Secret Technique back then to conceal the pearl’s true appearance. That’s why no one else could recognize it as the Golden Spirit Pearl."
So that was how it was. Lin Xuan had a flash of insight. But thinking about it, if the Golden Spirit Pearl had been in its original form, the True Dragon Sect would have likely discovered and taken it long ago.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Xuan gripped the sword hilt with one hand and reached for the pearl with the other, preparing to pry it off. But this was not easy. The longsword began to vibrate and hum, seeming to resist his attempt.
The rumbling echoed in all directions. Sword Qi swept out, striking the mountain path and sending sparks flying everywhere. Fortunately, Golden Sword Peak was already protected by an Array; otherwise, that Sword Qi would have cleaved the peak in two. Even so, it still caused the mountain to shake violently. The golden light on the mountain swept out in all directions, enveloping everything.
Outsiders could no longer see what was happening inside.
But on the peak, Tang Rou was stunned. Frightened, she quickly backed away to avoid the wave of Sword Qi.
Nearby, Jian Wushuang also came to his senses. Even now, he could not believe that the sword had really been summoned by Lin Xuan. He had been slapped hard in the face. Lin Xuan hadn’t been lying, and he hadn’t been bragging!
But how was this possible? How could an outsider like Lin Xuan summon the Spirit Moon Cold Smoke Sword?
Could it be that he actually mastered the Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship? Impossible, something must be wrong somewhere. Jian Wushuang shook his head frantically. He refused to believe Lin Xuan could master the Swordsmanship.
Could it be that the Spirit Moon Cold Smoke Sword awakened on its own? Yes, that must be it! It must have awakened by itself and charged toward Golden Sword Peak. That kid just acted first and snatched it away. If I had acted, I could have gotten it too!
Thinking of this, Jian Wushuang’s eyes flashed with a fierce light. He stared at Lin Xuan and said, "Kid, hand over the Spirit Moon Cold Smoke Sword! This is the Treasure Sword of our True Dragon Sect. You are not worthy of possessing it."
