"What? Are you not planning to take it out?" Xing Chen's gaze turned completely cold, and an invisible pressure suddenly descended upon Hun Haoran.
Hun Haoran's previously vigilant expression changed instantly upon feeling this pressure, and an inexplicable sense of intense danger surged within him.
He had only felt this kind of sensation from the leader of the Remnant Sword Sect, who was at the Soul Realm Pinnacle, close to the Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm. Could it be that this seemingly Earth Soul Realm Pinnacle youth before him was actually a hidden, extraordinary powerhouse?
Fear gradually mixed with a hint of reverence in Hun Haoran's expression. After all, in this place, strength was paramount. Thus, upon sensing the pressure from Xing Chen that was not any weaker than that of the Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm, he immediately chose to take out the Earth-Level Remnant Soldier.
Seeing the broken Earth Grade Divine Weapon suddenly appear in Hun Haoran's hand, Xing Chen's gaze shifted slightly as he took the Earth-Level Remnant Soldier from him.
"The power exceeds that of a peak Human Grade Divine Weapon, roughly equivalent to one-third of an Earth Grade Divine Weapon's power," Xing Chen assessed as he felt the strength of the Earth-Level Remnant Soldier in his hand.
"Hmm? What is this?" Suddenly, a powerful aura of death and resentment surged from the Earth-Level Remnant Soldier towards Xing Chen. Feeling this force, Xing Chen's expression changed slightly.
He quickly activated his Cultivation Method to absorb this sudden influx of power along with the incredibly sharp sword energy.
The sharp sword energy posed a threat to Xing Chen, so he had to first neutralize this sword energy before he could absorb the death energy, resentment, and other Negative Power to enhance his own strength.
"Treasures, truly treasures!" After about half a quarter of an hour, Xing Chen's eyes brightened. After absorbing the power from the Earth-Level Remnant Soldier, he felt that the bottleneck for breaking through to the Soul Realm had completely loosened. He was now almost ready to break through to the Soul Realm at any moment.
Meanwhile, Hun Haoran watched Xing Chen's expression and silently thought that it was over; this Earth-Level Remnant Soldier would definitely not be coming back.
"Where did you obtain this Earth-Level Remnant Soldier?" Xing Chen looked at Hun Haoran with gleaming eyes. If he could get a few hundred of these Earth-Level Remnant Soldiers, he could almost instantly elevate himself to the Soul Realm Pinnacle.
At that time, he could easily slay anyone like the first disciple of the Sword Sect or the top talent of Guangyang Prefecture.
"It... it was obtained in Cursed Sword Valley. There are many broken remnants there, but most are at the Human Grade level; Earth-Level ones are very rare. Moreover, there are powerful Guardian Beasts there. Generally speaking, our people from Remnant Sword Sect rarely go there."
Hun Haoran was startled by the green light in Xing Chen's eyes and quickly replied.
"Guardian Beast? What is a Guardian Beast?" Xing Chen showed a look of confusion; he had never heard of what a Guardian Beast was.
"A Guardian Beast is a monster. However, because they have lived in Sword Mound for a long time, they have been influenced to some extent by the resentment left behind by those shattered Divine Weapons, turning them into the guardians of those broken Divine Weapons. That's why we call these monsters Guardian Beasts."
Hun Haoran looked at Xing Chen strangely, but thinking of Xing Chen's strength, he hurriedly explained.
"Oh? Then where is Cursed Sword Valley? Take us there quickly." The green light in Xing Chen's eyes intensified; in his view, Cursed Sword Valley was definitely a treasure land filled with items that could help him enhance his cultivation.
"Well... Cursed Sword Valley is not a place you can just go to. The resentment there is too heavy; even Earth Soul Realm or Soul Realm Experts could lose their minds if they are not careful."
Hun Haoran shuddered, secretly lamenting. At this moment, he had already realized that these two were definitely newcomers; otherwise, how could they not know such common knowledge?
To enter a place like Cursed Sword Valley, one must first purchase some Earth-Level Pills and Guardian Pills to protect one's mind; otherwise, upon arrival, they would surely be affected by the remnants of resentment and become something like a Guardian Beast—a Guardian of the Sword.
"You don't need to worry about that; just take me there," Xing Chen waved his hand. He was not afraid of those resentful or dead energies; these things posed no threat to him and would instead become supplements for him.
"Okay, I can take you there, but I absolutely will not accompany you inside," Hun Haoran hesitated for a long time before finally gritting his teeth and saying.
"No problem. I'll return this Earth-Level Remnant Soldier to you! Although it surpasses Human-Grade Divine Weapons by a lot, there is still a significant gap compared to true Earth Grade Divine Weapons," Xing Chen said lightly.
"Really... are you really returning it to me?" Hun Haoran looked at Xing Chen in disbelief. He had originally prepared himself to part with this hard-earned Earth-Level Remnant Soldier, but unexpectedly, Xing Chen actually intended to give it back.
"If you don't want it, I wouldn't mind taking it off your hands," Xing Chen said slowly.
"I want it! I want it!" Hun Haoran hurriedly snatched the Earth-Level Remnant Soldier from his hands, fearing that Xing Chen might change his mind.
"Eh?"
Upon acquiring the Earth-Level Remnant Soldier, Hun Haoran immediately sensed something was off. The death energy and resentment that originally permeated the Earth-Level Remnant Soldier had completely vanished. This left Hun Haoran both puzzled and pleasantly surprised.
Originally, despite the immense power of the Earth-Level Remnant Soldier, Hun Haoran would never dare to use it lightly, as any misstep could lead to his mind being eroded by the death energy and resentment contained within.
However, now that all the Negative Power in the Earth-Level Remnant Soldier had disappeared, he no longer had to worry about this aspect and could freely utilize the Earth-Level Remnant Soldier.
"Quick, take us to Cursed Sword Valley!" Seeing Hun Haoran standing there in a daze, Xing Chen reminded him from the side.
"Alright, I'll take you there right away." Hun Haoran quickly nodded, happily stowing away the Earth Grade Divine Weapon. He then led Xing Chen towards Cursed Sword Valley.
With the Negative Power of the Earth-Level Remnant Soldier gone, regardless of the reason, Hun Haoran felt exceptionally pleased. After all, this meant he could use the Earth-Level Remnant Soldier without fear of being affected by those Negative Powers.
However, Hun Haoran also had some doubts about whether this matter was truly as Xing Chen claimed. Before he handed over the Earth-Level Remnant Soldier to Xing Chen, it had still contained a lot of Negative Power. Yet when Xing Chen returned it to him, all that Negative Power had vanished.
Soon, under Hun Haoran's guidance, Xing Chen arrived at Cursed Sword Valley. The mist here was several times denser than in other places, making it nearly impossible to see one's hand in front of their face. Fortunately, with Xing Chen's cultivation at the Earth Soul Realm, his Soul Power could extend a thousand meters away. Even if he couldn't see anything, he could still perceive through his Soul Power.
Feeling the endless Negative Power, green light filled Xing Chen's eyes; this place was full of treasures! All of them could aid him in advancing his cultivation. At this moment, Xing Chen's heart was undoubtedly filled with excitement.
"This is Cursed Sword Valley. However, this place does not entirely belong to our Remnant Sword Sect; there is another large force here as well. People from that sect often enter Cursed Sword Valley to search for Earth-Level Remnant Soldiers. If you encounter them, it's best to be cautious," Hun Haoran kindly reminded Xing Chen after they arrived at Cursed Sword Valley.
The opposing force was much larger than Remnant Sword Sect within Sword Mound. Its leader was a powerful figure at the Yang Spirit Realm level, far stronger than the leader of Remnant Sword Sect.
"You don't need to worry about that," Xing Chen replied calmly as he walked toward Cursed Sword Valley. He added, "Qian Hongkai, I'm going into Cursed Sword Valley now. If you want to leave, feel free; if not, just wait for me here."
Cursed Sword Valley is not just a valley, but a vast area composed of countless gorges. The deeper one goes, the stronger the Negative Power becomes, and the mist thickens. At the same time, this mist seems to have a suppressive effect on Soul Power.
After entering Cursed Sword Valley, Xing Chen took a deep breath and immediately felt refreshed. He sighed inwardly, thinking that such a cultivation holy land was unknown to anyone; it was truly a waste of resources!
In the outer gorges of Cursed Sword Valley, there were not many good things left; most had already been scavenged. The real treasures lay deeper within, as only a few dared to venture into the depths of Cursed Sword Valley.
The remnants of soldiers there must have preserved the majority of their power.
Xing Chen passed through one gorge after another, moving steadily toward the depths. His purpose for coming here was to find Earth-Level Remnant Soldiers, specifically the Negative Power contained within them. For this goal, he naturally would not linger too long in the outer areas.
Upon entering the eighth gorge, Xing Chen instantly felt the difference here. Not only was the Negative Power more intense, but the Sharp Sword Qi also surged forward. Even the exposed skin of Xing Chen could faintly feel a twinge of pain.
Xing Chen stayed here for a moment and released his Soul Power, sweeping around him in an instant. Then, he tragically discovered that there were still no Earth Grade Divine Weapons here. However, he was certain that he would find an Earth Grade Divine Weapon in the next gorge.
Continuing forward, just as he was about to step into the ninth gorge, his expression shifted slightly. He released his Soul Power and immediately sensed that several powerful individuals at the Soul Realm were also searching for Divine Weapons ahead.
“Senior Brother, we have been searching here for two days, and our Guardian Pills are almost depleted. If we don’t leave soon, we won’t have enough Guardian Pills left,” a clear voice slowly spoke.
“Junior Sister, don’t worry. I am aware of our situation. I can sense that there is a Guardian Beast at Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm ahead. That Guardian Beast must be guarding an extremely powerful Divine Weapon,” a male voice replied slowly just as the girl finished speaking.
