The Heavenly Dragon's Beginning in the Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 170 An Unexpected Incident: The Fusion of Two Divine Swords

Seeing that he asked the question so bluntly, Ling Feng, who knew his temperament well, did not pay much attention to it.

However, Ling Feng patiently answered his questions:

"How could I have any connection with that demonic cult? I'm just here to gain some experience; I simply arrived here a little earlier than you."

Upon hearing Ling Feng's words, Zhang Xiaofan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had been genuinely worried that Ling Feng might have some connection with the Demonic Sect.

Thinking of the inexplicable tremor in his hand, Ling Feng turned his gaze to Zhang Xiaofan's companions and asked them about it.

Zhang Xiaofan had no doubts and began to introduce each person present to Ling Feng one by one.

While these people's attitude towards Ling Feng wasn't exactly friendly or cordial, it was at least not as filled with deep hatred and hostility as Li Xun and Yan Hong's.

Faced with this situation, Ling Feng actually felt quite satisfied and at ease.

After all, he wasn't the kind of vicious and wicked person who would do anything.

As long as others don't deliberately provoke or offend him, he certainly doesn't want to cause trouble for no reason or invite trouble upon himself.

However, this would deprive him of a legitimate reason to seize the Tianya Divine Sword from Lu Xueqi.

However, now that he knows the Heavenly Sword in her possession is actually a fragment, he will eventually try every means to possess it.

You must know that this divine sword has an extremely significant effect on enhancing one's own combat power, so how could he easily miss this excellent opportunity to make his power even stronger!

In fact, the reason why the people of Qingyun Sect and Tianyin Temple treated Ling Feng with indifference was that Ling Feng's powerful strength was obvious to them, making them feel powerless and helpless even if they wanted to help him.

In addition, there is another factor: Ling Feng and Zhang Xiaofan obviously have a close relationship and are familiar with each other. Under such circumstances, it is really inconvenient for them to make a move easily.

After Ling Feng greeted and got to know everyone present, he continued to talk with Zhang Xiaofan for a while.

He then decided to leave the area ahead of time.

After all, with Zhang Xiaofan present, he had no reason to forcibly seize the Tianya Divine Sword from Lu Xueqi.

Regardless, Zhang Xiaofan had once saved his life, and he couldn't ignore this favor; at the very least, he had to give him some respect and dignity.

However, just as Ling Feng was about to leave, an unexpected situation suddenly occurred.

The mysterious sword that had been holding in his hand seemed to sense Ling Feng's intention to leave, and became extremely anxious because it had not yet obtained the fragment it sensed.

And so, the sword, which Ling Feng had barely managed to suppress earlier, began to tremble violently again, and this time the vibration was far more intense than before.

Ling Feng keenly sensed the subtle changes taking place in the sword in his hand, and secretly pondered whether he should repeat the method he had used to successfully appease it before.

After all, this is by no means the best time to seize the Heavenly Sword.

However, to Ling Feng's surprise, the trick that had worked so well before was now completely ineffective.

Despite his best efforts to stabilize the situation, the sword in his hand continued to tremble, as if it possessed boundless power and wanted to break free from its restraints.

Even more surprisingly, an unusually strong and urgent desire was continuously transmitted to Ling Feng through the cold blade.

Ling Feng clearly sensed the emotional fluctuations emanating from the sword, but he knew that now was not the time to act rashly. So he decisively decided to ignore the restless sword and turn away.

Just then, an unexpected turn of events suddenly occurred!

Unable to obtain Lingfeng's assistance, the sword seemed determined to act on its own.

In an instant, on the originally pitch-black lake surface, the sword that Ling Feng was holding tightly suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light.

At the same time, Ling Feng was shocked to find that the sword in his hand was gradually slipping out of his control. Even though he used all his strength and mobilized the powerful true energy of the ninth level of the Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness realm to suppress it, it was still to no avail.

As the dazzling light continued to shine, the sword, as if it had a life of its own, slowly and steadily broke free from Ling Feng's palm and floated leisurely into the air.

At the same moment, the Tianya Divine Sword tightly held in Lu Xueqi's hand seemed to sense the call of some mysterious power, and suddenly burst out with a dazzling light.

As the light shone forth, the Tianya Divine Sword in her hand broke free from Lu Xueqi's grasp like a wild horse, and floated lightly into the air.

Seeing this, Lu Xueqi hurriedly tried her best to control him, but no matter how hard she tried, it was all in vain.

You should know that even Ling Feng couldn't control that incredibly powerful sword, let alone her.

At this moment, the sudden change in these two divine swords undoubtedly attracted the attention of everyone present.

Unfortunately, they only witnessed the two divine swords soaring into the sky, and had no way of knowing what happened in between.

The unknown divine sword in Ling Feng's hand soared into the sky, its radiance as dazzling and mesmerizing as the morning star rising in the night sky.

Immediately following behind, Lu Xueqi's Tianya Divine Sword arrived. Although its light was slightly dimmer than the mysterious sword in Ling Feng's hand, it still stood out brightly in the pitch-black void.

After the Tianya Divine Sword rose into the air, it began to slowly approach the mysterious sword.

Before long, the Heavenly Sword successfully arrived beside the mysterious sword. The two stood side by side, like a pair of close partners.

Then, an amazing thing happened!

The Heavenly Sword seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, and began to slowly rotate around the mysterious sword.

At this moment, the mysterious sword stood firmly in the void like an eternal, unchanging star radiating endless light, its majesty and solemnity inspiring awe.

The Tianya Divine Sword, on the other hand, seemed to have become a planet orbiting a star, tirelessly continuing to rotate.

There seems to be a subtle connection between them, echoing each other and together creating a breathtaking scene.

Ling Feng stared wide-eyed at the wondrous changes of the two divine swords in the air, his heart filled with doubt and confusion.

As the owner of the mysterious sword, he was completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on.

Lu Xueqi, who was standing to the side and was the wielder of the Tianya Divine Sword, was also puzzled by this sudden change.

Even now, she still doesn't understand what happened.

If even the two owners who had a close connection with the divine sword were like this, what about Zhang Xiaofan and the other bystanders?

Everyone was dumbfounded, as if they were in a fog. Their bewildered and helpless expressions were truly a case of "the mother of the dumbest opened the door for the dumbest, and they were completely dumbfounded."

However, no matter how confused and bewildered they were, the changes in the two divine swords did not stop and continued.

In contrast, Ling Feng, the owner of the mysterious sword, appeared relatively calm.

Thanks to his unique connection with the mysterious sword, he could clearly sense that the mysterious sword had always been in control during this strange transformation.

This feeling reassured him somewhat, but it also filled him with anticipation and curiosity about what might happen next.

However, Lu Xueqi, the owner of the Tianya Divine Sword, was completely different from others.

From the moment the Tianya Divine Sword began to spin rapidly around Ling Feng's mysterious sword, she suddenly realized that she had lost the close connection with the Tianya Divine Sword.

It should be noted that this Tianya Divine Sword is a precious treasure passed down through her sect. Whether for her personally or for the entire sect, this sword is of extraordinary significance and of paramount importance.

Therefore, upon realizing that she had lost contact with the Tianya Divine Sword, Lu Xueqi dared not be negligent in the slightest. She immediately leaped up, intending to rush to the front and firmly grasp the Tianya Divine Sword in her palm once again.

Unexpectedly, just as she approached the two divine swords, she suddenly felt a mysterious and unpredictable power surge forth, like an invisible light shield that tightly enveloped the two divine swords.

Ling Feng watched as Lu Xueqi approached the two divine swords. He was about to take action, but seeing that Lu Xueqi was blocked by the mysterious light barrier, he also stopped.

Lu Xueqi tried briefly but found that she couldn't break through the barrier of light, so she didn't insist on forcing her way through.

After all, even she, as their owner, had no idea what kind of changes these two divine swords were currently undergoing.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Lu Xueqi finally decided to remain still and observe the development of the situation before making a decision.

The dazzling Tianya Divine Sword, like a nimble sprite, slowly began to rotate around the mysterious sword.

At first, it seemed to maintain a certain distance from the mysterious sword, but as time went by, as if influenced by some powerful attraction, the rotation range of the Tianya Divine Sword began to gradually shrink.

In the blink of an eye, the two divine swords were tightly joined together, like an inseparable pair of partners.

Then, something shocking happened!

The Heavenly Sword began to melt away slowly, like ice and snow scorched by the blazing sun, and gradually merged into the mysterious sword at a visible speed.

Lu Xueqi was extremely anxious upon witnessing this scene.

It should be noted that the Tianya Divine Sword held extraordinary significance for her, serving as an integral part of her life.

However, no matter how hard she tried to attack the light shield surrounding the divine sword, she could not achieve the slightest effect.

Seeing Lu Xueqi launch an attack on the light barrier, Ling Feng, as the owner of the divine sword, could not remain indifferent.

So, he flashed and quickly flew to the side of the light barrier.

However, he did not stop Lu Xueqi's actions. Instead, he stood there quietly, focusing intently on the situation inside the light barrier, ensuring that he could seize the mysterious sword first at the crucial moment.

Despite Lu Xueqi's extreme anxiety, the changes inside the light shield continued steadily.

In just a short while, nearly half of the Tianya Divine Sword had been integrated into the mysterious sword.

After the Heavenly Sword merged into it, the light emitted by the mysterious sword became even more dazzling, like the brightest star in the night sky, making it impossible to look directly at it.

In just a short while, the Tianya Divine Sword had completely merged into the mysterious sword.

At this moment, the mysterious sword, now fused with the Heavenly Jade Divine Sword, shone with an incomparably dazzling brilliance, like a rising sun.

As its master, Ling Feng clearly felt that the power of the mysterious sword had been greatly enhanced.

However, before Ling Feng could fully appreciate this powerful force, the light surrounding the mysterious sword began to gradually diminish, and the protective aura that had encircled it slowly dissipated.

When the light shield completely dissipated, all the light emitted by the mysterious sword also dimmed.

Although the dazzling light had vanished without a trace, the mysterious sword still floated silently in mid-air.

At this point, the mysterious sword did not appear to have undergone many obvious changes in appearance; it simply looked more ancient and elegant.

The moment the light barrier disappeared, Lu Xueqi rushed forward, eager to grab the mysterious sword.

However, how could Ling Feng sit idly by?

You must know, that mysterious sword was also of utmost importance to him!

So, Ling Feng flashed into the air like a bird, trying to be the first to take the mysterious sword into his possession.

But just as they were about to take action, something unexpected happened—the mysterious sword reacted first.

Behold the mysterious sword; its once dazzling light suddenly dimmed, as if it had lost all its power.

It hovered quietly in the air for a short while.

Immediately afterwards, like a bolt of lightning piercing the sky, it sped straight toward Ling Feng at an astonishing speed.

Just as Ling Feng raised his hand, about to unleash his power, he saw the mysterious sword hurtling towards him like an arrow released from a bow.

However, he did not panic, because he still had a subtle connection with the mysterious sword, and he could vaguely sense that it was in a pleasant and joyful state of mind at the moment.

In the blink of an eye, the mysterious sword had arrived beside Ling Feng.

At this moment, it was like a naughty child, excitedly circling around Ling Feng, just like when the Tianya Divine Sword had circled around it before.

At this moment, Ling Feng truly realized that after fusing with the Tianya Divine Sword, this mysterious sword seemed to have become more agile and intelligent, as if it possessed more spirituality and emotions.

This kind of movement at this moment was something that the mysterious sword could never have done before.

Furthermore, Ling Feng could only vaguely sense some of the mysterious sword's thoughts from the past.

However, Ling Feng can now clearly see through the thoughts and intentions of this mysterious sword.
