The Story of the Swordsman

Gain Control

"It looks like we've arrived." Hua Litong said as he looked at the statue of the Blazing Sun King in the middle of the passageway.

"The trace ends here? Where did that guy go?" Yang Mengli looked at the ground and found no trace.

Earlier, they arrived at the intersection area and found traces of a fireplace. They had followed the footprints and arrived here after following him.

"There should be some leads around here. Let's go find it." Hua Litong suggested and walked over to the statue, examining it closely.

Meanwhile, Yang Mengli looked around the wall and occasionally pushed it, trying to find a hidden mechanism.

"Isn't that Young Miss Hua Litong? Hm? Young Miss Yang Mengli is also here?" Suddenly, a male voice rang out from the entrance of the passageway, causing Hua Litong and Yang Mengli to turn around quickly.

"So that's Young Master Ji." Hua Litong calmed himself down after recognizing the identity of the newcomer. He was none other than the Young Master of the Sword Sect, Ji Cheng.

On Ji Cheng's side, Qi Tian'er stood up gracefully, looking unconcerned when he saw Hua Litong and Yang Mengli.

Ji Cheng asked, "Have you two just arrived here?"

Hua Litong and Yang Mengli replied with a slight nod. Yang Mengli turned to Qi Tian'er, "Greetings, Second Princess."

Qi Tian'er simply nodded in response. His eyes were fixed on the statue in the middle of the hallway.

Just when Ji Cheng was about to say something. He frowned slightly as he looked back and saw a female figure slowly appearing before him. Ji Cheng said, "I didn't expect to meet Young Miss Hua Litong and Young Miss Hua Wanru at the same time. Looks like my luck is pretty good."

The figure of the woman was Hua Wanru, who had been walking around this place for a few days before she finally found her way to this place. When he saw Ji Cheng, his face slightly changed. "Young Master Ji ... What did you just say? Did you meet my brother?"

"Wannru?" Hua Litong was shocked when he heard his sister's voice and hurriedly ran out of the hallway.

"Sister!" Hua Wanru became excited as he quickly came to Hua Litong and grabbed his hand with a sweet smile.

"Thank God you're fine." the worry in Hua Litong's heart had lifted upon seeing her little sister safe and sound.

"Did you meet the others?" Hua Litong asked.

Hua Wanru shook his head. "I've never met anyone since I came to this place."

Hua Litong thought for a moment and was about to tell Hua Wanru something, but was cut by Ji Cheng first. "Why don't we go in there and talk. I got a set of tables here."

Hua Litong glanced at Ji Cheng and nodded his head.

"Please." Ji Cheng led the two of them into the hallway and retrieved the table and chair from his spatial ring. As the Young Master of the Sword Sect, he naturally had a space ring.

Everyone sat around the table and Ji Cheng asked, "May I ask, how did everyone come to this place?"

Hua Litong replied, "I met the Golden Earth Worm and was moved here by the sand waves."

Ji Cheng nodded. He then turned to Yang Mengli. "How about you, Young Miss Yang?"

"I fell into the quicksand." Answer The Mengli.

"It seems like everyone has a different experience. Me and Tian'er did not encounter any problems, but we appeared here directly after stepping into the desert area." Ji Cheng said while pondering over the matter. He continued, "There must be a secret here. I've never seen any records related to this place before."

"Before, I had examined the statue, but I did not find anything strange." Qi Tian'er added.

Everyone looked up to see the statue.

At this moment, Yun Lintian's body was trembling nonstop, fighting with intense pain. His skin was completely red, and sweat droplets came out from each of his pores.

Originally, the Yun Lintian Blood Vessels were of the Wood, Fire, and Water types. Wood and Water matched each other, but the addition of the Fire element caused his Blood Vessels to become chaotic and unbalanced. This was also the reason Yun Lintian's talent was so low. Moreover, the Misty Cloud Sect did not have any arts suitable for him. Even if he tried to practice the Misty Cloud Art, he would never reach such a high level.

However, at this moment, Yun Lintian could feel his control over the Fire element. The chaos in his Blood Vessels slowly disappeared bit by bit. He did not feel the conflict between the Wood, Water, and Fire elements anymore.

I have to hold him! This is definitely an advantage for me!

Time continued to pass, the intense pain gradually lessened as time passed, and his body could perfectly adapt now. A moment later, the burning sensation within his body had completely disappeared. His eyes opened and found himself standing naked on the ground while Yan Qi and Little Flame were looking at him with strange expressions on their faces.

"Lumayan. You've completely taken over the Sun." Yan Qi broke the silence and nodded. With this, his task for thousands of years finally came to an end.

"I jumped to the eighth level?" Yun Lintian clenched his fists, trying to gauge his new strength. He discovered his strength had jumped from the fifth level to the eighth level of the Essence Realm.

"I know you're happy right now, but can you wear your clothes first?" Yan Qi felt uncomfortable looking at a naked man.

Yun Lintian glanced at his body and was startled for a moment before he quickly put on his clothes.

"How long have I been here?" Yun Lintian asked.

"Ten days." Reply Yan Qi.

"Ten days?... Oh no, senior brother." Yun Lintian suddenly recalled his senior brother and became worried.

Yan Qi smiled. "Silent. Since you have obtained the Sun, this mythical realm is yours. However, it was limited to the condition that you were here. Once you're gone, this mythical realm will vanish."

"really? Quickly tell me, how do I control it? I want to know where my senior brother is." Yun Lintian completely ignored the last part and asked Yan Qi directly.

Yan Qi said, "Where is your attitude? Not calling me Senior anymore? Are you listening? This mythical realm will vanish forever if you leave here!"

Yun Lintian snorted, "Heh, I've lost all respect for you since the moment you threw me into the Sun. Don't think that I don't know you're not actually sure if I'm the destined person."

Yan Qi was shocked. "B... How do you know?"

Yun Lintian rolled his eyes. "Don't pretend in front of me. Now, tell me, how am I supposed to find my senior brother's position?"

Yan Qi laughed a little, without any shame. "Hehe, young man, calm down first. You can go to my throne and channel fire element energy into it."

Yun Lintian ignored Yan Qi and directly went to the red throne. He did what Yan Qi said, and the throne suddenly glowed. A moment later, several translucent projections emerged from the thin air in front of the throne, projecting everyone who was currently within the mythical realm.

"CCTV?" Yun Lintian was surprised. This was the first time he had discovered this kind of technology in the Azure World.

His eyes observed the projections one by one until he stopped on a group of six women and one man. When she saw the appearance of Yun Chan and Yun Ting, her face turned solemn.

"Who did it?" Yun Lintian spoke coldly in a low voice. A ferocious killing intent radiated from his body, causing Yan Qi and Little Flame to look at each other in astonishment. They never expected a sixteen year old boy to be able to produce such a murderous aura, and it made them wonder how many people had died at his hands.

Yun Lintian continued to observe the projections. On one projection, there was a fierce battle between Hua Litong, Yang Mengli, his three female seniors, and some people from the Sword Sect as well as the Sacred Fire Sect. Hua Litong's group was currently overwhelmed by the opponent, and they might not be able to hold on any longer.

"They're on top of this place?" Yun Lintian said to himself. He turned to Yan Qi and asked, "Are there any traps around here? I know you must have, right?"

Yan Qi smiled mysteriously. "Of course."
