"There's a total of seven sets of the Mystic Abyss Sword Techniques, and they're all here." The Fourth Prince tapped his head, an unconcealable joy flashing in his eyes. "The memories of seven sword art talents nurtured by the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor himself are now standing guard in the center of the ghost country in my mind. They can teach me sword arts at any time, any place, and they can also help to protect my consciousness.
"As for the other things, they're all here."
The Fourth Prince took out an emerald green longsword which had a strange shape of six sections. This was the Senluo Six Heavens Sword which they had gone through great effort to get their hands on this time around.
As the Fourth Prince's intent was channeled into the Senluo Six Heavens Sword, an emerald green door appeared before Fang Xingjian. Then, the door opened and a small world was presented before everyone.
The Fourth Prince said, "The Senluo Six Heavens Sword is a level 34 Divine Remains Equipment, but the most amazing thing about it isn't its killing prowess. Rather, it's the space created within it. This space is about the size of over half of a Regional Academy, and it's also essential for suppressing the Hades Vault."
As they spoke, the Fourth Prince led Philip and Fang Xingian into the space within the Senluo Six Heavens Sword.
In the space, the ground below their feet and the sky above their heads were all made of emerald green air currents. They did not look like the actual ground and sky, yet still gave people the feeling that they were stepping on actual ground. There were even areas of white light, giving people the feeling of it being daytime, like in the outside world.
They lifted their heads, looked up, and saw that there were countless palaces clustered together in the entire space. They were all made from jade and appeared to be gleaming with brilliance.
This space, which had been created by a Divine level expert, was clearly different from the Gates of the Netherworld.
It was almost like an actual miniature world. Time was not at a standstill and living creatures could be stored here as well.
The Gates of the Netherworld could not store living creatures, nor did it contain the flow of time within.
The Fourth Prince, Fang Xingjian and Philip flew around the space. When Philip saw the luxurious palaces, he looked astonished as well.
As the Fourth Prince walked on, he presented, "This is the Medicine Hall, storing all the precious medicinal herbs that the Jade Dynasty gathered for more than ten years."
Philip scanned the palace that was next to them and the more he did, the more astonished he was. "Nine-Colored Daylight Vines, Flower of Seven Flames, Half-Giant's Blood? There's even the Thunderbolt Gemstone and the Heavenly Origin Medicine... There are so many precious medicinal herbs? This Heavenly Origin Medicine has long been lost, only mentioned in history. To think that the Jade Dynasty was still able to gather it...
"It's said that even if a Divine level expert were to eat this Heavenly Origin Medicine, it would strengthen their physique, increase their mind's calculative abilities, and increase their cultivation."
The Fourth Prince then pointed toward another palace that was surging with killing aura, with occasional flashes of sword light and war cries.
"This is the Weaponry Hall. It stores a tremendous number of weapons forged by top notch blacksmiths of the Jade Dynasty," The Fourth Prince said.
Fang Xingjian scanned the interior with his sword intent. There was a total of 500 weapons, and all of them were Superior Divine Weapons. The two strongest longswords were exuding terrifying waves. Both of them were Divine Remains Equipment.
There were not just weapons. Other than the 500 longswords, there were also 500 sets of armor, all of them in emerald green, flashing with mysterious glows, and with mysterious prints on them. All of them were level 29 Superior Divine Equipments.
Philip said, astonished, "Could these be the legendary top notch armors of the Jade Dynasty, the Maya Death God Armors? It's said that these armors were worn by the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor's imperial guards. They were made from the blood and tendons of dragons as the main ingredients, and then mixed together with the ground remains of Demigods.
"Each set of these sets of armor can allow even ordinary people to fly into the sky, to burrow through the ground, or even to break through sound barriers. They're also impenetrable by both fire, water, sabers and spears. They can even self-regenerate. To think that 500 sets have been left behind here."
With great astonishment, he remarked, "What a great amount of resources! Right now, even the Empire would probably not be able to gather so many Superior Divine Armors. If 500 Conferred Knights were to put on these 500 sets of Maya Death God Armors, then they would be able to go up against a first or even second tier Divine level expert."
The Fourth Prince shook his head, "These precious treasures mustn't be easily given away. It isn't easy to find 500 loyal Conferred Knights. There are only 5,000 Conferred Knights in the entire Empire."
Fang Xingjian entered the Weaponry Hall directly, walking into its deepest depths. With each step he took, the Super Divine Longswords around him started to tremble softly. They seemed to be as agitated and anxious as a subject meeting their King, while also displaying submission.
Fang Xingjian finally arrived at the deepest area of the Weaponry Hall, and two longswords, one red and one green, ware laying there, silently floating.
The Fourth Prince stood behind Fang Xingjian and said, "These are the two divine swords—Jade Fire and Vast Sky—forged personally by the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor himself. He channeled in the sword intents of the Six Heaven-Soaring Swords and the Six Transmigration Sword into them, and they can assist the user to perform these two sword techniques."
The Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor had a total of seven sword techniques. Out of these, the Six Heaven-Soaring Swords, that formed the main structure, was the one which the Fourth Prince had gotten his hands on. However, the remaining six sword techniques were in no way weak either.
The Six Transmigration Formation performed by the Hades Ghost Dragons had originated from this Six Transmigration Sword.
Hearing that, Fang Xingjian nodded and grabbed the emerald green longsword. The moment he had it in his hands, he could feel an ice-cold will gushing into his mind.
"The Jade Fire Longsword is a level 30 Divine Remains Equipment? With the sword intent of the Six Heaven-Soaring Swords channeled into it, one's prowess would be at least doubled if they were to use this longsword to perform the Six Heaven-Soaring Swords." Fang Xingjian shook his head, "It's a pity that this longsword seemed to not be a weapon that the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor actually used for his battles, right?"
"But of course," The Fourth Prince said. "For existences like him, ordinary Divine Remains Equipment is no longer of any use. Moreover, he would have to use his own weapons. It would be considered good if he even left them for his own descendants. How could he possibly have kept them hidden for thousands or ten thousands of years for some stranger he didn't even know?
"After all, the Hades Vault is merely a preparation that they had made for the future of mankind, out of their goodwill."
Philip nodded. "I wonder where are the descendants of the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor today, and if they still have the weapon which the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor used in the past."
Fang Xingjian looked at the two longswords before him. Although their prowess was ordinary, the sword intents in them had been left behind by the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor. Right now, Fang Xingjian was still unable to remove it and was thus was unable to use these two longswords to set up the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation.
In a way, although the prowess of these two longswords was ordinary, it was because of the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor's sword intents in them that at current moment they were almost indestructible.
Fang Xingjian then followed the Fourth Prince and had a look around the entire space in the Senluo Six Heavens Sword. There were various medicinal herbs, weapons, armors, heavenly and earthly treasures, as well as gold and gemstones. There were even dry rations, clothes, wood and metal materials, and so on. It was just like a little safe house for when the world would come to an end.
The Fourth Prince stood before the door of the space and said with a sincere expression, "Xingjian, what do you think of these?"
"They aren't bad, but to a Divine level expert, they don't seem to be of much use." Fang Xingjian said, "To me, what's really important is the sword art legacies held in the ghost country that's in your mind."
