Chapter 216 Encounters at the Sword Tomb
Chapter 216 Encounters at the Sword Tomb
Upon hearing Chu Yunfan's question, Master Volcano immediately smiled, then turned to Chu Yunfan and said:
"From now on, I will not be called Master Volcano, I will be called King of Volcano Pills!"
"Dan King!"
Upon hearing these two words, Chu Yunfan instantly understood that Master Volcano had indeed broken through to the Martial King realm and had become a Pill King.
Therefore, Chu Yunfan immediately spoke up:
"Congratulations, Master! You have become a king in one fell swoop, and from now on you will live a carefree life in the world!"
The Martial King realm is a watershed moment in cultivation. Only by becoming a Martial King can one truly transition from cultivation to immortality, not only doubling one's strength but also multiplying one's lifespan several times over.
A cultivator at the Martial Venerable Realm can only live up to 1,600 years old.
However, cultivators at the Martial King realm can at least have a lifespan of five thousand years, and they also possess abilities such as limb regeneration and possession after death, which completely puts them in another realm of cultivation.
When the Volcano Pill King heard Chu Yunfan's congratulations, he couldn't help but feel a little smug, stroking his beard and laughing non-stop.
However, the moment the Volcano Pill King thought of Chu Yunfan's terrifying talent, his pride vanished instantly.
At that moment, Chu Yunfan also spoke.
"Senior Pill King, seeing that you have broken through to the Martial King Realm, I should also work harder in my cultivation. Farewell!"
After saying this, Chu Yunfan turned and left.
Afterwards, Chu Yunfan returned to Tianji Peak and found Li Wujiang, the peak master of Tianji Peak.
Led by Li Wujiang, Chu Yunfan arrived at the Sword Tomb, one of the forbidden areas of the Qingyun Sword Sect.
As soon as Chu Yunfan stepped into the area near the Sword Tomb, before even entering the tomb, he felt a soaring, sharp aura coming towards him.
It's as if this sword mound itself is a peerless sword.
"go in!"
Li Wujiang's voice came from his body.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Yunfan discovered that he had a small, exquisite sword-shaped jade pendant in his hand.
This sword-shaped jade pendant represents one's qualification to cultivate in the Sword Tomb.
Otherwise, anyone who sets foot in the Sword Tomb will be annihilated without a trace by the endless sword energy within.
With great anticipation, Chu Yunfan entered the Sword Tomb.
Inside the Sword Tomb was an incredibly vast space, like another world.
However, this is a world of swords.
Swords are everywhere, in the heavens and on the earth, numbering in the hundreds of millions.
When they sensed Chu Yunfan's arrival, the endless swords simultaneously emitted different, yet equally resonant, sword cries.
The countless sword cries blended together, as if resonating, transforming into another indescribable, mysterious sound.
When this mysterious sound entered Chu Yunfan's mind.
Chu Yunfan froze on the spot, then his eyes closed automatically, as if he had entered a strange state.
In this state, Chu Yunfan felt as if he had transformed into a sword, standing in this sword tomb, undergoing the baptism of the rules of swordsmanship.
In fact, Chu Yunfan's body was also being enveloped by an invisible and peculiar power at this moment.
This power is the power of the sword rules within this sword tomb.
Under the guidance of the power of the sword's rules, countless swords within the sword tomb each separated a wisp of their aura and drilled into Chu Yunfan's body.
As these auras entered, a feeling as if ten thousand swords were piercing his heart, as if he were being torn apart by a thousand knives, instantly appeared in Chu Yunfan's mind, waking him from his previous inexplicable state.
"pain!"
“It hurts!”
"It hurts so much!"
"It hurts so much I feel like I'm dying!"
Pain was the only feeling Chu Yunfan could feel at the moment; all the muscles in his body were twisted and deformed by the extreme pain.
Strangely, beneath Chu Yunfan's distorted facial muscles, a faint hint of a smile could still be seen.
Indeed, despite such pain, Chu Yunfan actually wanted to laugh.
Because he knew that after entering the Sword Tomb, he resonated with the sword rules within it.
The pain he is experiencing now is due to the sword's rules, which, by drawing upon the aura of countless swords within the Sword Tomb, are cleansing his marrow and transforming his body.
"Persist! Only persistence will do!"
The longer you persist, the more thorough the transformation, and the greater the benefits!
At this moment, only the word "perseverance" remained in Chu Yunfan's mind.
However, with the aura of the Myriad Swords, it passed through flesh and blood and entered Chu Yunfan's bone marrow.
In an instant, the indescribable pain caused Chu Yunfan to lose his mind and roar out in agony.
Even so, Chu Yunfan clung to the last vestige of clarity in his consciousness, refusing to collapse and unwilling to let this opportunity for transformation end.
As time went on, Chu Yunfan's flesh and bones even began to fall off his body.
Chu Yunfan's body was like a tattered rag, riddled with holes.
However, under the influence of the sword's rules, countless sword energies directly merged into Chu Yunfan's body, causing his flesh and bones to begin to regenerate.
The duration of this process is unknown; it might have taken a day, or it might have taken a month.
Because Chu Yunfan had already lost consciousness due to extreme pain and become numb, he also lost his sense of time.
Until this day, the transformation of Chu Yunfan by the rules of swordsmanship finally came to an end.
Chu Yunfan also regained a completely different body.
At this moment, even a single hair on Chu Yunfan's body exudes a sword aura that soars to the sky and is incredibly sharp.
As the pain from the transformation subsided, Chu Yunfan's consciousness gradually and fully returned.
However, before Chu Yunfan could carefully examine his new body, a thunderclap in the sky immediately attracted his attention.
Upon hearing the thunder, Chu Yunfan instinctively looked up at the sky.
Immediately afterwards, he discovered that his gaze had actually passed through the Sword Tomb and could see directly into the sky.
At this moment, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and streaks of lightning, like thunder serpents, darted and danced among them.
In no time, a sea of lightning had formed in the sky.
Before Chu Yunfan could react, several bolts of lightning shot out from the sea of lightning and struck him in the blink of an eye.
However, when the lightning struck Chu Yunfan, it did not cause him any harm. Instead, it produced a crisp metallic clang.
Upon seeing this, Chu Yunfan's face lit up with surprise.
However, before Chu Yunfan could even begin to rejoice, more lightning bolts surged out from the sea of lightning and struck Chu Yunfan.
Then, like setting off firecrackers, the thunder became more and more frequent and louder.
Chu Yunfan's entire body was completely enveloped by lightning.
Under the lightning, Chu Yunfan's sword-like body began to crack again as the lightning relentlessly attacked.
At the same time, all the inner disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect also noticed the sea of lightning in the sky. They found it quite strange and began to watch and discuss it.
At this moment, the same thought popped into the minds of all the powerful figures in the inner sect.
"Where did this lightning tribulation come from?"
Immediately afterwards, they all turned their gaze toward the Sword Sect.
