System Break the Limit - Qing Shandian' Journey
Ch.114 - Tomb of the Sword 1

Exploring the Sword Grave

'Joshu...'

A strong wind swept away the hot sun. Soft waving leaves bring cool air. Amongst that sea of trees, Ye Yuan and Qing Shandian's group moved swiftly side by side in front of the back.

"Gush..Wussh..Wussh..Wush.."

Fifteen minutes later, Ye Yuan and his group stopped right in front of the mouth of the valley followed by Qing Shandian's group.

"Flame..Taps..Taps..Taps..Taps..Taps..Taps..Butt..."

The valley seemed very wide surrounded by rows of rolling hills. However, the valley was enveloped by a faintly visible barrier shield, thus revealing only an extremely beautiful sight. Nonetheless, it could be easily guessed by Qing Shandian that the array was extremely powerful and not easy to destroy.

Ye Yuan looked at Qing Shandian and said, "Shandian, as you can see. This is the valley I mean. From here, perhaps it only shows a beautiful view of the circular hills. However if we were to pass through the barrier array and enter it, it would be very different. In it, it was a sword tomb that had existed for some time since how many thousands of years ago who knew. I will warn everyone to protect themselves with energy shields, as the sword aura within the sword tomb could be said to be quite ferocious. In addition, do not force yourself to enter the center of the sword tomb. Personally, I used to almost die from the pressure of the sword aura there."

"Hm.. During my adventure on this continent, this sword tomb was a new thing I had never met. If it's like you said, this tomb might be a relic of a swordsman or perhaps, this place used to be a huge battleground back then." Sahut Qing Yuan while holding his chin when giving an evaluation.

Qing Shandian looked quite enthusiastic. He chuckled softly and replied in an excited tone. "Hehehe.. Doesn't matter. Isn't that nice? It just so happens that we are all sword-wearing cultivators. I thought, the sword aura in that place will be able to help us to increase our ability in sword mastery. Who knows if we have the fortune to raise the heart of the sword."

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Emm.. Thas right. Three times I entered this place, I was lucky to be able to awaken sword intent even though it was still relatively weak. But that was enough to satisfy me. You guys certainly know, how difficult it is to awaken sword intent, right? Everyone has their own talent and luck. Then, what if we go in now?"

Qing Shandian did not immediately reply. He looked at his group for an opinion. When he got a nod from everyone, he said, "Because everyone agrees, we're going in. But, I want to say a few things first. Our main goal here is to find the whereabouts of the Spiritual Beast that Uncle Ye said. As for utilizing the sword aura inside, it is a bonus for us. So, we're going to divide our group into three small groups. What about mom and dad?" He then looked at Qing Yuan and Lin Lianhua.

Lin Lianhua calmly said, "That's a good idea. That way, we can narrow down the search. Then, let your mother, father, uncle, aunt, and five of them be one team for the first group. As for the second group, let Xing Yue choose her members. As for the latter, you alone will lead."

"alright. In that case, let Xing Yue lead the group of men. And An'er, hehe.. The women will be my team. Fair right?" Sahut Qing Shandian with a very excited tone. The look on his face was radiant.

"Haha... Young master, aren't you being too forthright?" Sahut Yin Xing Yue with a crisp laugh.

"Hehe.. Sure oes. I'm not just gonna let the ladies go. Isn't that a good thing? Moreover, aren't they all very beautiful? Besides, they are all strong. How is that, you agree too, right?" Qing Shandian chuckled happily and scratched his non-itchy head when replying, while then looking at Qing Wenrou and the others who were bowed in shame.

"Haihihah... Young master, even though we are strong, young master must be prepared to protect us in case of danger, or the beauty will go like the wind then." Qing Yin Yue chirped with a melodious giggle as she closed her lips.

Qing Yuan, Lin Lianhua, Qing Tian, Qing Yu and Qing Xue shook their heads when they saw her son acting flirtatious. Meanwhile, Yin Xing Yue and the men laughed crisply when they saw the reaction of the shy-looking women.

Qing Shandian looked at Ye Yuan and said, "Alright. Let's go in. Uncle Ye, you can stay with your members. We'll split up to do the search once it gets inside."

"Hehe.. Doesn't matter. We channel our spiritual power into a protective shield to make our way in." Sahut Ye Yuan chuckled lightly in a relaxed tone.

After which, everyone flowed their spiritual power on the barrier shield that covered the entire valley.

"Nwound.."

The shield opened wide enough to form an entrance accompanied by a slow hum. Simultaneously, the sea of swords entered everyone's gaze. However, a ferocious sword aura also erupted out, and swiftly everyone enveloped their bodies with energy shields. Ye Yuan also exclaimed softly as he entered the sword tomb. "Hurry in! It only lasts a little while and it'll close again."

When the remark fell, everyone swiftly darted in without saying anything.

As soon as everyone entered, Ye Yuan looked at Qing Shandian and said, "Shandian, what do you think of this place?"

"remarkable. The sword aura here was indeed very powerful. Unmistakably, this place had the highest sword intent. This is really a good thing. I didn't expect that the Southern Region had a place like this and hid it so well." Said Qing Shandian in a pleased tone as he familiarized himself with the forging of sword aura and swept a glance in all directions.

"You're wrong, Shandian. This is in the Southern Territory. But until now, only my group knew of the existence of this place. All right, we're gonna split up here. Me and my men will find a place to meditate. Perhaps, I only stayed here for three or five days before returning to the Clan. You guys be careful." Quite frankly before then he led his group darting slightly towards the left.

After their departure, Qing Shandian's group regained familiarity with the oppressive sword aura for a while.

"Haha.. This is very remarkable, young master. With this, our sword mastery will definitely experience an increase. Is young master not...." Yin Xing Yue said with a crisp laugh, while then intending to ask something, yet she stopped him.

Qing Shandian looked at Yin Xing Yue. He shook his head and said, "No for now. But I have a better plan. Hopefully it can be done as I hope."

"Emmm.. Go awayl. You should be careful too. Immediately notify me if you discover the whereabouts of the Spiritual Beast. Remember, always press your aura as best you can so as not to disturb it."

"Okay, young master. We go first." Sahut Yin Xing Yue before then she left with Qing Hei Bao, Qing Lin Long, Qing Tian Shi, Qing Feng Hu, Qing Xing Lang, Tian Yuan, Yi Shuang and Er Shuang.

"An'er, we'll also go to the right. You all be careful. Don't be careless." Said Lin Lianhua in a soft yet firm tone.

"Good, Mom. An'er must be careful. Father, mother, uncle, aunt, and the five of you, be careful too. We'll let each other know if we find out the whereabouts of the Spiritual Beast."

"Emmm.. All right, we'll go first." Qing Yuan's voice then shot towards the right along with Lin Lianhua, Qing Tian, Qing Yu, and Qing Xue.

"We go first, young master." Said Qing Jiao Long, Jiu Tou Long, Lang Tian, Ying Bing Huo, and Xiong Bing Guang in unison before then darting quickly after Qing Yuan and the others.

After the departure of Qing Yuan and Yin Xing Yue's group, Qing Wenrou approached and said quietly to Qing Shandian. "Is An gege planning to move this sword tomb to the Soul World?"

Qing Shandian nodded lightly in response, then replied. "That's right. But I doubt a little. Wenrou, is it possible to transfer him to the Soul World? If not, I'm planning on pulling them here."

"Haihi.. An gege don't worry. It can be done. Leave it to Wenrou." Qing Wenrou said with a melodious giggle as she closed her lips. He then said again through voice transmission. "But instead, An gege must continue to improve the system level, and over the continent, An gege must try to upgrade the system to Level 25. How, An gege agrees, right?"

"Without you saying it, I would. We will grow strong together. It's just, it's a pity if something as good as this is just left out, isn't it? It will be beneficial to our great family in the Soul World." Sahut Qing Shandian through voice transmission while smiling and looking at Qing Wenrou.

Qing Wenrou returned the gaze and smile, then said in a soft voice. "Thank you, An gege."

"Wenrou, what are you talking about with An gege?" Xie Feng Xue said curiously when she heard Qing Wenrou say as she walked over.

"Haihi.. It's nothing, Feng Xue. Just a small thing, so there's no need to talk about it." Reply Qing Wenrou while giggling softly and closing her lips.

"An gege, do you want to play a secret behind us?" Mu Lingyun said while shortening and narrowing her eyes as she looked at Qing Shandian.

"Hmphc... That's how An's sister is. Always be mysterious. He must have had other plans up his sleeve. Or maybe, it's a bad thing. Who knows?" She Xiaoqi chirped softly as she followed and approached.

Qing Shandian pinched She Xiaoqi's cheek and said, "You little girl.. There's no such thing. How could your handsome and kind-hearted brother have such unkind thoughts? Never mind, let's go too. We'll take the straight path. Remember, all be careful." He continued while walking leisurely in tandem with Qing Wenrou.

"Haihi.. Alright. Xiaoqi, let's go. Don't think badly of your brother." Xue Shui Jing said with a melodious giggle, then took She Xiaoqi and immediately followed Qing Shandian along with the others.

...…………………………...

Minutes by minutes passed. Qing Shandian's group did not constantly sweep his spiritual gaze and perception to check the place around them. The vast area of the sword tomb, making them move from one place to another.

Half an hour passed. Along the way down the sword tomb, Qing Shandian and his group had yet to discover the whereabouts of the Spiritual Beast he was looking for, nor anything interesting. As far as the eye could see, only the various types of swords they encountered, and it was only a sword that had been broken.

"Huh.. There was nothing of interest in the fringe area of this sword tomb. All just old iron rusty." Said Qing Shandian grumbling with a rough gasp of breath.

"An gege, something good, must be in the best place. We continue to the center of the tomb. Who knows, good things await us there. Given the ever-increasing pressure of the sword aura, Wenrou was certain that we were already not far from the central area." Sahut Qing Wenrou with a gentle tone.

"That's right, An gege. Be patient. After all, not all luck is ours, is it? With this sword aura alone, we have already benefited. So Feng Xue felt, this trip had nothing to lose." Xie Feng Xue said to Qing Wenrou.

"Basar brother sucks. Anything just interesting things to think about. Brother An must remember, that out there, there are still many people who continue to struggle with difficulty and bathed in blood to get something. You should be grateful that you have a lot of amazing things that no one else has. Even for Xiaoqi, I used to have to struggle without knowing time and get tired to be able to enjoy peace and protect my people." She Xiaoqi reprimanded Qing Shandian.

Qing Shandian stopped walking. He tilted his head and looked at She Xiaoqi fixedly. He smiled faintly and said, "You're right, Xiaoqi. I almost forgot about that basic thing. I'm lucky to have all that, so I can give you the best. While out there, there might not be anyone who can compare to me. Besides being beautiful and sweet, you are also good. I am so proud to have you as my sister. Thank you for reminding me." He then gently rubbed She Xiaoqi's head.

She Xiaoqi returned Qing Shandian's gaze for a moment. She was delighted by the remark, then turned her gaze to cover up her embarrassment from Qing Shandian's praise. He stammered, saying, "Ap.what? Si..who is good? Xiaoqi only spoke randomly. Forgetit.. Ahhe.. Looky.. We're almost at the center of the tomb. Let's go.." Quote while then walk quickly leaving the others.

Qing Shandian and the others smiled when they saw She Xiaoqi's reaction. They continued their journey to the center of the sword tomb.
