Chapter 91: Broken Saber

Along with the rumbling sound, the coffin exploded, causing the coffin’s formation to immediately activate .

Swish! Swish!

This formation actually had the strength equivalent to a King Realm cultivator . It immediately bounced Xiang Shaoyun away . He coughed a mouthful of blood as he flew away, feeling as if his organs were all going to explode . Fortunately, the purple energy flowing from his lightning bone into his arm had blocked a portion of the formation's power . Otherwise, he would have been killed right then .

But right this moment, something seemed to have escaped the coffin, attempting to escape the formation as well .

The layer of formation rippled repeatedly as it tried stopping that object from escaping . But the power contained within that object was too overbearing . The formation was only able to slow it down for a bit before it tore through the formation . Xiang Shaoyun was lying on the ground when he saw the object . His eyes lit up .

A broken saber was hovering in the air, layers of purple lightning energy rippling on its surface . The saber seemed to be wallowing in sorrow and calling out to something .

The saber had a short handle and a long blade forged of beast bones . Its handle was shaped like a tiger while its blade was shaped like a dragon . The entire saber emanated a crude and antiquated feeling .

If it wasn't for the fact that the saber was badly damaged, it would be a perfect saber . At this moment, the purple lightning bone within Xiang Shaoyun started shining with a purple radiance again as it established a faint connection with the saber . Unfortunately, the saber was so badly damaged that the lightning energy soon faded . The saber fell from the air .

Clang!

A crisp sound rang out as the saber hit the ground . Xiang Shaoyun ignored his injury . He forced himself back on his feet and walked over to pick up the saber . The moment he wrapped his hand around the saber, his lightning bone started channeling a gentle energy into the saber, forming some sort of resonance between Xiang Shaoyun and the saber .

Right as Xiang Shaoyun was about to sink himself into this sensation, he heard the stone palace's door open . Yang Gaochuan's anxious voice rang out, "Xiang Shaoyun, are you fine?"

"Me? I'm fine," Xiang Shaoyun replied . After he replied, Yang Gaochuan arrived in the room . His gaze first landed at Xiang Shaoyun before shifting to the saber . The sight of the saber filled his face with astonishment . "This . . . is this the broken sword of the unnamed cultivator?"

He then looked at the coffin only to find that the coffin had been broken, revealing a skeleton’s frame . His expressions shifted multiple times as he did not know what to say .

Xiang Shaoyun smiled helplessly and said, "I don't know why it came out either . But I can feel that this blade is my gain from this room . Palace master, please allow me to keep it . "

Yang Gaochuan hesitated slightly before sighing, "This is truly unexpected . Many years ago, it was judged that this blade was completely damaged . Even if it is reforged, it will only be a tier-3 weapon . Thus, it was buried together with the corpse as a funerary object as a sign of our respects to the unnamed cultivator . Surprisingly, you were actually able to attract the saber out of the coffin . This must be the workings of fate itself . " 

"So, palace master, do you mean I can keep this saber?" Xiang Shaoyun asked joyfully .

"Yes . There's no point keeping the saber here anyway . " Yang Gaochuan nodded . He then continued solemnly, "This might be a top quality king weapon . Although it is already badly damaged, it is a weapon once basked in glory . I hope you will be able to one day bask in glory with this saber as well . Win glory for the Martial Hall Palace and enter the top 10 during the Battle of Towns . Otherwise, your ownership of the saber will be an insult to this weapon . "

"Don't worry, palace master . I will complete the mission," Xiang Shaoyun promised solemnly .

But right after he said those words, he had a feeling he had been led on . Yes, this was a saber with an extraordinary origin . But it was nothing but a damaged weapon now . Entering the top 10 with this weapon? That did not seem like a realistic expectation . But he had already promised, and he wasn't one to go back on his words . For any other person, this saber was nothing but a broken weapon . But for Xiang Shaoyun, it might yet be an extraordinary weapon .

"Alright, since you have obtained your inheritance, leave . I will get someone to clean up the place . Remember to never tell anyone any of this," Yang Gaochuan said .

Xiang Shaoyun did not hesitate as he dragged his injured body out of the stone palace . As he walked, he refined a healing pill stored in his astral cosmos sea . Immediately, the medical efficacy started nurturing his inner organs, and a comfortable sensation spread through his body .

The astral cosmos sea was not only able to be used as a storage space, but one could also use any item stored in it with a single thought . That was why he did not need to take out the healing pill in his astral cosmos sea to physically consume it . Instead, he could directly use it while it was still inside his astral cosmos sea . It would save a lot of time when he was in a rush .

After leaving the stone palace, Xiang Shaoyun stored the saber into his astral cosmos sea . Since he now had a storage space of two square meters, it wouldn't be hard to store the saber inside . But after right after he stored the saber, he sensed energy channeling out of his lightning bone in his spine .

Faint strains of pure purple energy were being channeled into the astral cosmos sea . To be precise, the strains of energy were streaming toward the saber . The saber reacted as it glowed once again . After accepting the strains of purple energy, the blade of the saber became sharper, as if it had been reborn .

At the same time, Xiang Shaoyun sensed a connection forming between him and the saber . But for now, he did not have any time to think too deeply into it . He was heading quickly back to his residence .

But while he was en route, Gong Qinyin suddenly appeared on a snow lion . An arrow was shot into the ground right in front of his feet . If Xiang Shaoyun hadn't stopped in time, the arrow would have struck his head instead . He was infuriated at the realization .

He glared at Gong Qinyin and shouted, "Are you trying to murder me? Crazy woman, do you think I won't dare to execute you right here?"

Gong Qinyin gazed at him indifferently . "You still owe me one . I will have my revenge one day . "

"One day? Why wait? Let's settle our grudge right here!" Xiang Shaoyun shouted as he strode toward Gong Qinyin . He looked like he was really planning to execute Gong Qinyin on the spot . Gong Qinyin drew her sword and entered a battle-ready stance .

"Howl!"

The snow lion roared viciously .

"You crazy woman, what did I do apart from seeing you naked once? Here, let me show you my body as well!" Two meters away from Gong Qinyin, Xiang Shaoyun stopped and started stripping .

It completely stunned Gong Qinyin .
