Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Special Hidden Quest, Stage 5, Sword Immortal
Johnnie thought back to the unknown space he had just been in, where he had vaguely seen a headless figure, and asked, "Was that you?"
"No figure. I don’t have a physical body." the woman’s voice said, sounding puzzled.
No physical body?
Johnnie was confused. Then who was the headless figure he had seen? Why was there such a terrifying divine power in that space?
The voice spoke again: "Human, I was tricked by Aurora. You have to find a way to help me recover."
Johnnie stopped dwelling on the question and asked, "How can I help you?"
"Find the other pieces of The Map of Heaven and Earth. Do you know Rex?" the woman’s voice echoed.
"Rex? The War Master Rex?" Johnnie asked in shock.
The fact that the game Horizon was connected to the lost cultivation sects of Dragon Country had already been shocking enough for him.
Now, even The Map of Heaven and Earth and the War Master Rex from mythological legends were appearing.
This Universe Continent must still be hiding many secrets he didn’t know about.
The woman’s voice continued: "Yes. One piece of The Map of Heaven and Earth is in the God of War Hall. If you can find the fragment, you can help me revive and completely break free from Aurora’s control."
[Ding. You have triggered a special hidden quest: Find the fragments of The Map of Heaven and Earth. Do you accept?]
[Quest Reward: The Map of Heaven and Earth is now under your command.]
The prompt appeared.
A special hidden quest? Not the only one?
Johnnie was confused, but he still chose to accept.
Having The Map of Heaven and Earth under your command was an ancient artifact. It was definitely stronger than his Void Sword and Seven Sword.
"Where is the God of War Hall?" Johnnie asked. In his previous life, he had never heard of the existence of the God of War Hall.
"Demon Lair, and the God of War Hall has already been opened. That’s why I can sense the fragment of The Map of Heaven and Earth, but I can’t sense its exact location." the woman’s voice said again.
Demon Lair?
Johnnie frowned. He did know of an entrance to the Demon Lair, located in the Astral City.
But the Demon Lair was the home of the Demonic Creatures, and its space was vast, no less than the Universe Continent.
If he didn’t know the exact location, searching for the God of War Hall in the Demon Lair would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The worst part was that there were gods in the Demon Lair—The Demon God.
His current strength couldn’t even deal with a stage 8 demon king, let alone The Demon God.
Johnnie said, "I can enter the Demon Lair, but if I meet a powerful Demonic Creature, I might not be able to handle it."
"Wait." the woman’s voice disappeared.
After a while, mist swirled, and a pair of massive, black wings appeared, covering the sky and falling in front of Johnnie.
[Demon Wing: A treasure of the Demonic Creatures, only strong enough to be summoned by a Demon Lord or above. It contains the bloodline of the Demonic Creatures, and can be refined. Basic Attributes +10,000 points.]
This is actually a treasure of the Demonic Creatures!
Johnnie was surprised. Treasures were even rarer than artifacts of the divine, and they could grow, even becoming something beyond divine artifacts.
After refining it, it directly added 10,000 points to the four basic attributes.
But he didn’t have the bloodline of the Demonic Creatures.
Johnnie was troubled and said, "I can’t refine this thing."
The woman explained, "It’s not necessary. Just carry it with you, and it can conceal your presence, making you indistinguishable from the Demonic Creatures. Even The Demon God won’t be able to sense you. But don’t expose it. This is a pair of wings condensationed by a Demon God. It will definitely draw the attention of powerful Demonic Creatures."
The Demon God’s wings?
Johnnie was surprised. There was a treasure like this here? Was it from that unknown space?
"You can rest assured, I will definitely help you find the fragment of The Map of Heaven and Earth in the Demon Lair." he said, taking the Demon Wing and not staying any longer. He moved his mind and left the Canvas of Illusions.
Now that the Seal of the Demon Spell was partially removed, he could advance normally. He decided to first reach Stage 5, Sword Immortal, and also try to complete the advancement quest of The Mage of the Five Elements. Then he would go to Astral City, grab the Fossil of Creation from Gaia, and enter the Demon Lair to find the other fragments of The Map of Heaven and Earth.
The advancement quest for Stage 5 Sword Immortal also required passing the trial of The Secret Realm of the Sword Tomb, and also needed 100 Stage 3 Sword Immortal strong warriors and 500 Stage 2 Sword Immortal strong warriors.
The Yett Family’s descendants, over three hundred people, had all been raised to Stage 2, Level 10 and passing the Sword Immortal advancement test was no problem at all.
The military’s five million elite would definitely have 500 people who could change class to Sword Immortal.
There were no soldiers here, so they were probably still in the first stage of the "Questioning the Sword" trial. The time was one hour, and it clearly hadn’t ended yet.
Johnnie wasn’t in a hurry. He opened his Stage 5, Sword Immortal advancement trial.
[You have started the Stage 5 Sword Immortal advancement trial: Kill 50,000 Stage 5 Sword-Testing Puppets within three hours.]
The prompt flashed. Johnnie appeared in the trial space.
Killing 50,000 Stage 5 Sword-Testing Puppets within three hours—compared to the previous two advancement trials, the difficulty had doubled again.
But in this period, his strength had improved even more.
Clang, clang...
The sound of mechanical collisions echoed. A series of Sword-Testing Puppets appeared, all at Stage 5, peak level.
Whoosh!
A strong wind blew. 50,000 Sword-Testing Puppets surged forward, launching a furious attack.
Johnnie didn’t care. These guys were nothing compared to the Beast Wave in the Dark Forest.
Zhuang! freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
The Intent of the Sword roared. Seven Sword split into seven, flying out with a whoosh. At the same time, Void Sword swung, and the Great Transformation Sword Technique was unleashed, with attacks wide open and powerful.
Boom!
A loud explosion. A few Sword-Testing Puppets were immediately pushed back, with damage numbers flashing.
-5653
-5422
...
Over 5,000 damage.
These Sword-Testing Puppets had over 10,000 health points. They couldn’t withstand even two attacks from Johnnie. If a critical hit was triggered, one blow would kill them outright.
As the Sword-Testing Puppets were cut down by the Great Transformation Sword Technique, his attack power and speed continued to improve.
Seven Sword whistled through the air, unleashing a frenzy of slaughter.
Within less than half an hour, fifty thousand Sword-Testing Puppets were wiped out by Johnnie, and the area was littered with broken corpses.
[You have successfully killed fifty thousand Stage 5 Sword-Testing Puppets, taking 21 minutes; Trial Evaluation: SSS]
[You have received additional rewards: Stone of Comprehension of the Way of the Sword x200, stat potion x200, one chance to gain Comprehension of the Way of the Sword]
The prompt appeared. Johnnie successfully passed the trial, and it was once again rated SSS.
This time, the additional rewards were increased: 200 Stones of Comprehension of the Way of the Sword, 200 stat potions, and one chance to gain Comprehension of the Way of the Sword.
But he didn’t receive the qualification to enter the Sword Tomb.
Johnnie couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.
He had entered The Secret Realm of the Sword Tomb twice and obtained three divine artifacts.
Now, with his strength improved again, he felt that if he entered the Sword Tomb space, he would definitely get one more divine artifact recognized.
Unfortunately, he didn’t receive the qualification to enter the Sword Tomb this time.
"Continue to comprehend the Way of the Sword and try to reach the Sword Spirit Realm." Johnnie thought. He felt that he was just one step away from the Sword Spirit Realm.
This time, he had received 200 Stones of Comprehension of the Way of the Sword, which gave him a chance to break through to the Sword Spirit Realm.
He moved his mind and went to the Comprehension of the Way of the Sword space.
[Ding, you have been granted two hours of Comprehension of the Way of the Sword opportunity]
It was still two hours.
"Huh, so many people!" Johnnie was surprised. The Comprehension of the Way of the Sword space had gathered more than twenty thousand people, all sitting cross-legged, focused on comprehending the Way of the Sword.
These people were all soldiers and Yett Family descendants who had passed the first stage of the Questioning the Sword trial.
The first stage of the trial wasn’t hard. The real difficulty was comprehending the Way of the Sword.
In just a short time, more than a dozen people disappeared.
They couldn’t comprehend the Way of the Sword and were directly eliminated.
Comprehension of the Way of the Sword relied on one’s own insight or on the Stone of Comprehension of the Way of the Sword.
But if your insight wasn’t enough, even if you used the Stone to force an increase, your future growth would be very difficult.
Johnnie was different. He used the Stone of Comprehension of the Way of the Sword to improve, but he also had a decent level of insight into the Way of the Sword.
He didn’t waste any more time. He took out the Stone of Comprehension of the Way of the Sword and refined them one by one, comprehending the Way of the Sword.
...
Twin Cranes City, flashes of light appeared, and hundreds of players appeared, all dressed in gray robes, holding staffs, exuding a cold and calm aura.
The leader was a young man with fair skin, a high nose bridge, and the most noticeable feature was his silver long hair.
"Sir!" a short, creepy-looking assassin player ran over, looking respectful and said: "That Johnnie led a massive army into the Dragon Monster territory and then disappeared. I didn’t dare to follow too closely. He must have entered a hidden realm."
"Five million troops?" The silver-haired man furrowed his brows. The players he brought were elite, but confronting a force of five million head-on was absolutely impossible.
He thought for a moment and ordered, "Tell your people to keep searching around and keep an eye on that Johnnie. Notify me when he’s alone."
"Yes." the man replied respectfully, then used a stealth spell and his figure vanished.
The silver-haired man waved his hand at the players behind him, and everyone immediately scattered, hiding throughout Twin Cranes City.
"This is really a hassle. If it weren’t for the generous reward Macbeth gave me, I wouldn’t have wanted to get involved with Johnnie." the silver-haired man muttered to himself, wandering aimlessly through the city.
...
The Secret Realm of the Sword Tomb, soon two hours had passed.
[Ding, Comprehension of the Way of the Sword has ended. You are about to be teleported out of the Comprehension of the Way of the Sword space]
The prompt appeared, and Johnnie’s comprehension of the Way of the Sword was interrupted. His brows furrowed.
"Even now, I still haven’t broken through to the Sword Spirit Realm." he said, a little annoyed. The Comprehension of the Way of the Sword had reached the peak of the State of Sword Mind, and he was just one step away from breaking through to the Sword Spirit Realm, but he still couldn’t cross the threshold.
[Ding, you have completed the Sword Immortal advancement quest. You have successfully advanced to Stage 5, Sword Immortal and Acquired Illusory Sword Art]
[Current Stage 5, Level 1 (0/1,000,000). For every Level 1 advancement, the Four Basic Attributes increase by 50 points, plus 50 additional attribute points]
[Illusory Sword Art: Level 1 (0/10,000). Advanced sword skill, dreamlike and illusory, dealing 150% base Physical damage plus 150% Magic damage to enemies]
The prompt appeared again, and Johnnie successfully advanced to Stage 5, Sword Immortal, and once again Acquired a new sword technique, the Illusory Sword Art, slightly boosting his strength.
It looked like Dylan and the Yett Family descendants had also completed the Sword Immortal trial.
The space force fluctuated, and he was teleported out, appearing in the hall of The Secret Realm of the Sword Tomb.
Atlas and Dylan hadn’t left yet.
"Johnnie, I’ve also changed class to Sword Immortal." Dylan said happily.
He wasn’t from an ancient martial arts family, and he only barely Acquired the Intent of the Sword at the last moment, barely passing the trial.
