Chapter 423: Chapter 421 – The Harem Path of the Scabbard_1

“How can this be?”

A look of astonishment flashed in the eyes of the gloomy young man.

He had entered the Sword Pool before, but he had never heard of, let alone witnessed, a sword choosing to throw itself at someone like this.

Even the true disciple, Sword Wu Xia, who possesses an innate sword body, the swords in the sword pool only respond obediently to her and wouldn’t take the initiative to present themselves to her.

“Could it really be that the sword chooses its wielder?”

He was puzzled, muttering to himself quietly.

Being a Sword Tao genius from the Sky Sword Sect, and coming to the Sword Pool, using this sword, issuing threats, and then suddenly being intercepted by a Spirit Plant Master!

This was something he, who was usually so arrogant, couldn’t accept at all.

“Since this sword has already fallen into Junior Brother Lu’s hands, I could only admit defeat and withdraw.”

He huffed coldly, turned around, and stepped into the mist of sword qi, disappearing in just a few moments.

He had no choice. At first, when the sword was still unclaimed, he could have used his exquisite skill to win the sword from Lu Xian.

But once the sword had willingly fallen into Lu Xian’s hands, trying to compete for it would have completely different implications.

It would change from a fair competition to a robbery.

In the Sword Pool controlled by the Golden Core Real People, forcibly snatching another member’s treasure would likely lead to severe punishment.

“Didn’t expect your taste wasn’t too bad.”

Lu Xuan pulled the third Nebula Sword out from the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath and sighed.

The Nebula Sword had a full spiritual nature, after recognizing the mysterious sheath and the same source of energy inside, instead of confronting the gloomy young man, it willingly moved into the ancient sheath.

“As for that fellow disciple, he may appear of average quality. However, he was perfectly compliant in the Sword Pool, otherwise, it would have required several Fourth Grade Sword Symbols to obtain this Nebula Sword.”

Lu Xuan murmured to himself. He allowed the sheath to guide him to another direction..

About two hours later, he found the fourth Nebula Sword.

With the four Nebula Swords studded in the ancient sheath, it was both painful and delightful.

As the number of Nebula Swords increased, the difficulty of searching for them also went up.

They could only stay in the Sword Pool for half a day; over the course of the quest, Lu Xuan’s spiritual sense greatly weakened, and his speed also couldn’t increase too much. After all, the dispersed sword qi was in constant high-speed motion, and if Lu Xuan sped up too much, his sword fruit probably wouldn’t be able to react in time.

Furthermore, the Sword Pool was vast and extensive, with an unknown depth. Lu Xuan was already quite satisfied to have found four Nebula Swords.

Time is always brief when treasure hunting, and in the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.

“Alright, time’s about up. Gather here.”

A low voice echoed, and the countless tiny sword qi inside the Sword Pool stirred. In the center, a large sword qi surged upwards like a pillar of light, visible from any corner of the Sword Pool.

Under the intimidation of the massive sword qi pillar, the tiny sword qi in the Sword Pool slowed down, reducing the threat to the cultivators in the pool.

Upon seeing this, Lu Xuan and the other nine hurried towards the pillar at their fastest speed.

When Lu Xuan reached the pillar, he carefully observed his surroundings and found no sign of the Core Formation Master who remained in the Sword Pool.

Six fellow disciples had already arrived and were waiting under the pillar. They all wore various expressions: satisfaction, regret, disappointment.

Seeing Sword Wu Xia standing calmly, Lu Xuan walked over to her side.

“Sister Wu Xia, there is something I don’t understand and would like to seek your guidance on,” Lu Xuan said softly.

“Junior Brother Lu, please speak, I will tell you all I know,” said Sword Wu Xia.

In the moment when Sword Wu Xia opened her eyes, it was as if a sharp-edged sword had been drawn, extremely sharp. Seeing Lu Xuan, her upper eyelids drooped, and her expression gradually softened.

“The thing is, I know about the rules of entering the Sword Hall, each Sword Hall Disciple can only keep two sword implements at most.”

“But I have a doubt, if there is a sword implement that consists of several flying swords forming a sword array, would finding part of it be counted as one flying sword or multiple ones?”

Lu Xuan briefly described the situation he was facing, without leaking the specific information about the Nebula Sword Array.

“Did Junior Brother find a sword implement that can perform a sword array? That’s quite lucky.”

There was a hint of surprise in Sword Wu Xia’s clear and cool voice.

“Although this kind of situation is rare in the Sword Pool, it does occur.”

“There are numerous sword implements in the Sword Pool, such as ‘Son-Mother Sword Blade’, ‘Yin Yang Complementary Sword’, and the Sword Array you mentioned.”

“They are only considered a complete sword implement when all parts are gathered. Therefore, even if you find several flying swords of it, it is still counted as one quota.”

Sword Wu Xia replied.

“Then I’m relieved. Thank you, Sister Wu Xia, for your clarification.”

Lu Xuan let out a sigh of relief. If it wasn’t compliant with the rules and he was caught by a Golden Pellet Elder Uncle on the spot, it would be a very unpleasant scene.

After the group of ten had gathered, a beam of light instantly wrapped them all up, and in a state of chaos, they appeared in the familiar Sword Temple Main Hall.

Lu Xuan, with his five flying swords, came to the outside of the Sword Hall, took from a Sword Hall Disciple the Fat Bird Wind Falcon.

Sitting cross-legged on the wide, pale aqua wings of the Wind Falcon, feeling the gusty wind rushing by, he felt extremely exhilarated.

Back in his cave dwelling, he took out five fourth-grade flying swords from his storage bag and inserted the four Nebula Swords into the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath at once.

“At first, only the formless Edge Sword of Wind and Thunder entered the sword sheath, followed by the third-grade Purple Lightning Sword, the fourth-grade Wind-Thunder Sword, and the mysterious emerald green small sword.”

“And now, the fourth-grade Thunder Sound Sword and four fourth-grade Nebula Swords.”

“At first, the sheath rejected flying swords, unwilling to associate with any flying sword.”

“Gradually, it changed to a single flying sword line, sticking a certain flying sword for a certain amount of time, slowly nurturing the sword body.”

“Then, it was constantly changing flying swords, until now, having a large number of flying sword reserve at the same time, changing whichever flying sword it wants.”

“Unwittingly, the once simple sword sheath has embarked on its harem route.”

Lu Xuan looked at the ancient sword sheath filled to the brim, feeling myriad emotions.

Ignoring the sword sheath and its harem of sword implements, Lu Xuan took the Thunder Sound Sword and came to a secluded corner of the mountains.

Passing through the Pink Miasma that caused a myriad of distracting thoughts, Lu Xuan came in front of a peculiarly shaped bamboo.

The main stem of the bamboo was like crystal clear jade. At the junction with the Spirit Soil, a large number of roots protruded from the soil, crowded together. Each root had tiny cracks.

As soon as Lu Xuan appeared, all the cracks opened, and countless eerie voices rushed into his ears, making him feel a sense of dizziness.

Just as Lu Xuan was about to use the Cleansing Spell to calm himself, a gray vine rapidly crawled out from the Pink Miasma. Countless slender roots, like gray tentacles, blocked all the cracks on the bamboo roots without leaving a single one out.
