Heavenless Sword

The Void Staircase was extremely long.

Zhuowen walked up the staircase step by step. He found that there were 61 steles on the staircase, and each stele was engraved with different formations.

Every single formation diagram contained profound truths. Although Zhuo Wen's current level of cultivation was too low to comprehend the formations, he was able to constantly temper his immortal force by copying the formations. Then, he would use the immortal force to feed back his mental strength and origin force, causing the two powers in his body to constantly increase.

In front of the 61th stele, Zhuowen suddenly opened his eyes. At this moment, his temperament had changed. He became free and easy, as if he had shed all his splendor. The aura on his body was much stronger than before.

"You've gained a lot. By comprehending the formations in these steles, your Spiritual Power has advanced again, reaching Level Six Complete." Xiao Hei's slightly surprised voice rang in Zhuowen's mind.

Zhuowen smiled and said, "It's not just my Spiritual Power. The Celestial Power fed back from comprehending the formations is extremely rich. My Original Power has just reached the Peak of Level One Emperor Realm. I'm afraid it won't be long before I can advance to Level Two Emperor Realm."

Speaking of this, Zhuowen's eyes were filled with excitement. After a warrior advanced to the Emperor Realm, it was naturally more difficult to break through than before. Of course, advancing to the Emperor Realm was slightly easier than advancing to the Emperor Realm from the Peak of Celestial Master Realm.

After all, advancing from the Celestial Master to the Emperor Realm was a big leap. Once a warrior crossed the threshold, there would be an unprecedented transformation. Because of Xiao Hei, Zhuowen needed to be well-prepared to advance. He had to accumulate enough to have a slight chance of breaking through to the Emperor Realm. This could be seen from the fact that he had used 67 Hearts of Emperor.

After crossing the threshold of the Emperor Realm, the next advancement was naturally relatively simple. Of course, this was compared to advancing to the Emperor Realm. If compared to the small realms of the Four Reverends Realm, advancing to the small realms of the Emperor Realm was naturally more difficult.

After all, Zhuowen had just advanced to the Emperor Realm. It was extremely fast for his Original Power to reach the Peak of Level One Emperor Realm in such a short period of time.

"We're reaching the end!"

When Zhuowen walked past the sixteenth stone tablet, he discovered the end of the void staircase. At the other end of the staircase, there was a huge pavilion made of beautiful jade floating in the air.

The Void Pavilion was made of beautiful jade. It was richly carved and magnificent.

As Zhuowen stepped into the pavilion, a trace of tranquility appeared in his heart. He felt relaxed and happy. There was a faint fragrance lingering in the pavilion. When the fragrance entered his nose, it refreshed his mind. Zhuowen felt as if his mind had become much clearer under the effect of this fragrance.

The pavilion was very quiet, and the furnishings inside were also very monotonous. A shabby praying mat floated in the middle, and behind the praying mat was a stone platform. There were only two things on the stone platform, a long sword covered in cracks, and a plain wooden tablet.

At first glance, these two things seemed very unremarkable. However, when Zhuowen took a closer look, he discovered that these two things were extraordinary.

Although the long sword covered in cracks looked shabby, it revealed a trace of pressure that made Zhuowen's heart skip a beat.

Zhuo Wen had seen quite a few high class Emperor Weapons in the past. However, he was stunned to discover that the pressure from this tattered longsword was actually above that of a high class Emperor Weapon.

"This is a Saint weapon …"

Xiao Hei's voice suddenly rang out, causing Zhuowen's entire body to tremble. He stared at the shabby long sword in front of him, his throat trembling and his mouth dry.

Zhuowen had indeed seen a Saint weapon before. It was the Azure Dragon Hall. However, other than the Azure Dragon Hall, he had not seen any other Saint weapons. Now that Xiao Hei said that the shabby long sword in front of him was a Saint weapon, Zhuowen could not remain calm.

"That's not right!

The pressure of this long sword is much weaker than the one in the Azure Dragon Hall. Is this really a Saint weapon? "Zhuowen asked with some doubt.

"Since Emperor weapons are divided into different grades, Saint weapons are naturally divided into different grades. Emperor weapons are divided into low-grade, mid-grade and high-grade. Saint weapons are also divided into three grades: Profound Saint Weapon, Heavenly Saint Weapon and Immortal Saint Weapon," Xiao Hei explained indifferently.

"I see. Since Saint weapons are divided into three grades, does that mean that Saints are also divided into different grades?" Zhuowen asked curiously again.

Saints were legendary existences in the Eastern Land. It was said that such figures could move mountains and fill seas with a wave of their hand. They could even open up their own small worlds and use their own Saint Force to forge a powerful world. The strength of their various divine abilities could be said to be deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Because Zhuowen had never come into contact with the Saint Realm, he naturally did not know much about the division of Saints. However, he knew that Xiao Hei definitely knew. After all, this guy's origin was extraordinary. It was very likely that he came from the mysterious Central Land. Asking Xiao Hei was naturally not a problem.

"It is indeed as you have guessed. Saints are also divided into different grades. Above the Emperor Realm is the Pilgrimage Realm. In layman's terms, we call Pilgrimage Realm cultivators Saints.

There are three major realms in the Pilgrimage Realm, which are Profound Saint, Heavenly Saint and Immortal Saint.

"Furthermore, the reason why Saints possess various abilities that Martial Emperors do not possess is because Saints have grasped the Law of the Divine Inscriptions. The so-called Law of the Divine Inscriptions is a law that Saints comprehend through the Law of the Heavens and Earth and their supreme Saint Power.

"Although the power of the Saint Mark Law is much weaker than the laws of heaven and earth, it is, after all, comprehended from the laws of heaven and earth. It also contains a trace of the laws of heaven and earth, which is the so-called Heaven's Might. It is precisely because of the power of the laws that the strength of Saints completely surpasses all Emperor Realm cultivators."

Xiao Hei paused at this point, giving Zhuowen time to digest what he had said.

Zhuowen's eyes revealed a look of understanding. He silently digested all the knowledge about the Saint Realm that Xiao Hei had told him. He did not know about it before, but with the existence of Xiao Hei, he understood the specific realm of Saints one step ahead of others.

"Then this long sword in front of us should be the lowest level of Saint Tool, which is also a Profound Saint Tool?" Zhuowen's gaze fell on the broken long sword and muttered in a low voice.

"You are right. This long sword should have been refined by the master of the Emperor's Tomb. Although the master of the Emperor's Tomb was only a Semi-Saint, he also had the identity of an Arcane Saint Master. Even if his martial arts realm had not reached the Pilgrimage Realm, it should not be difficult for him to refine a Profound Sage-level Saint Tool by relying on the power and knowledge of the Arcane Arts," Xiao Hei indifferently replied.

Zhuowen nodded and said with a slightly hesitant voice, "Then the Azure Dragon Palace is of a higher level than this long sword. It should be a Heavenly Saint Tool?"

"You underestimate the Azure Dragon Palace too much. The Azure Dragon Taoist was an influential figure ten thousand years ago. He was a Saint Immortal Saint. The Fighting Buddha Demon Saint and the Wind Thunder Divine Monarch were also at this level. They were extremely famous geniuses back then, so the Azure Dragon Palace is an Immortal Saint Tool." Xiao Hei shook his head and said.

"It is actually so powerful?"

Zhuowen's eyes revealed a shocked expression. Speaking of which, his luck was really good. Whether it was the Wind Thunder Divine Monarch, the Fighting Buddha Demon Saint, or the Azure Dragon Taoist, they were all Saints of the Immortal Saint Realm. They were definitely the peak existences among Saints, and he had actually encountered them before.

Although he had never seen them in person, he had obtained the things of these three Saints. The Wind Thunder Divine Monarch's Thunder Three Wings, the Fighting Buddha Demon Saint's Buddha Demon Eye, and the Azure Dragon Taoist's entire inheritance.

"This Profound Saint Tool is completely broken. How much power can it still retain?"

After the excitement, Zhuowen discovered a serious problem. That was, the long sword in front of him was a little damaged. Could it still be used?

From the damage of the Saint Tool, it was not difficult for Zhuowen to imagine how fierce the battle between the owner of the Emperor's Tomb and the Heavenly Insect Avatar was. Even the Saint Tool was broken. That battle was really a little terrifying.

"Looking at the situation of this Saint Tool, I'm afraid it is only a little bit away from being damaged. If I'm not wrong, this long sword of the Saint Tool level can only be used twice at most. After two times, I'm afraid it will directly disintegrate." Xiao Hei said with a little pity.

Zhuowen's eyes revealed a touch of disappointment, but immediately returned to normal. With a wave of his right hand, he grasped the long sword in his hand and said softly, "After all, it is a Saint Tool. If it can be used twice, it will be of great help to me."

Holding the long sword, Zhuowen discovered that there were three small seal characters carved on the hilt of the sword. He murmured in a low voice, "Heavenless Sword!"

"It's named Heavenless Sword. Does it mean that it is lawless?"

Thinking of this, Zhuowen's eyes revealed a strange look, but it was only fleeting. After storing the Heavenless Sword into his Spirit Ring, Zhuowen's gaze fell on the ordinary wooden tablet on the stone platform.

There was a rather profound pattern drawn on the wooden tablet. When Zhuowen stared at the pattern, he frowned slightly. He actually felt as if he had fallen into endless darkness, and his head actually became dizzy.

"What are the patterns drawn on the wooden tablet?"

Zhuowen took a few steps back and turned his head away. His heart faintly trembled. The patterns on the wooden tablet were too strange, as if they wanted to devour his consciousness.

"Damn, it's actually the Saint Rune Law."

Suddenly, Xiao Hei's slightly fluctuating voice rang out, causing Zhuowen's pupils to shrink. He also did not expect that the patterns drawn on the wooden tablet would actually be the Saint Rune Law.

When Zhuowen calmed down, he also understood. Although the owner of the Emperor's Tomb was only a half-Saint, he should have first comprehended the Saint Rune Law and become an invincible Emperor Lord before stepping into the half-Saint realm. This also explained why the Saint Rune Law was left behind in the tomb of the owner of the Emperor's Tomb.

"Since it's a Saint Rune Law, why is it that my consciousness is unable to detect it at all? In fact, my consciousness was nearly devoured by it." Zhuo Wen frowned slightly as he spoke in astonishment.
