Dragon-Marked War God

Chapter 2997 - Nameless Sword Platform

“Can you locate the legacy of the tomb?” Jiang Chen looked at Bing Yun in shock and asked.

Bing Yun shook her head and said:

“There are many formations within the tomb, each of them are extremely dangerous, I’m just a carp that was residing in the pond beside the great emperor. The great emperor saw that I’m smart and specially allowed me to listen to his teaching, therefore I managed to reach where I am now. The Ancient Nine Regions Emperor put in a lot of effort when he built this tomb as he did not want others to destroy it. The Ancient Nine Regions Emperor must’ve known that he didn't have long to live and built this grand tomb.”

“Great Ancient Emperors are as old as the heavens and earth, how could they face such a disaster? Could the Ancient Northern Cold Emperor even foresee his own future?” Jiang Chen murmured.

He was pretty shocked. This legendary emperor must be unimaginably powerful.

“I do not know, however, the tomb of the Ancient Nine Regions Emperor is not that easy to explore. The only thing I know is that it’s a place for dragon gathering. Whereby he used the dragon qi gathered to maintain his formations, to maintain the tomb without perishing. The Six Directions and Eight Desolates Formation is placed in the core area of the tomb, we’re just in the outer layer of the tomb. The danger is already at such a level… your average Hierarch expert would not be able to get through it.“ Bing Yun said as she looked towards Jiang Chen.

Perhaps he’s just an outlier, as he could defeat Xue Liang with just a Peak Divine King cultivation realm. Truly terrifying.

“Six Directions and Eight Desolates Formation? Maintaining the formation with dragon qi, perpetually running. I must have a look at it.” Jiang Chen murmured.

This Six Directions and Eight Desolates Formation did not even appear in the No Beginning Formation, it’s obviously a powerful formation.

“I can only lead both of you to the outer area of the tomb, however, I hope that the both of you can promise me to be respectful towards the Ancient Nine Regions Emperor and not attempt to destroy this place. He’s a benevolent man, I am able to reach what I am today thanks to his teaching. Otherwise, I would just be a carp swimming in a lotus pond.” Bing Yun looked at Jiang Chen and Xue Liang with pleading eyes.

“Yeah, rest assured, we only want the inheritance of the Great Emperor, we’ll be incredibly lucky if we manage to get a hint of dao teaching from the Ancient Nine Regions Emperor.” Jiang Chen smiled.

“That’s great, Big Bro Bai, promise me, do not forcefully trespass the tomb, otherwise, the consequences could be disastrous.” Bing Yun warned.

“The tomb of the great emperor is a den of dangerous tigers.” Jiang Chen thought.

Although Bing Yun did not speak further, he understood what she was trying to say, asking them to not be impatient, because she too could not be sure how dangerous it could get.

“Come inside my gut, I’ll change back into my original form and this will save us some time.”

Xue Liang and Jiang Chen entered Bing Yun’s stomach. Then, Bing Yun quickly swam through the cold pool.

The underground waterway contained many twists and turns, Jiang Chen and Xue Liang were shocked. How much effort was required to build it? It’s like a palace, grand and gigantic, one that was built upon this massive underground waterway.

Nine white jade pillars were erected on both sides. Nine stone paths surrounded the pillars. Two azure stone doors were filled with ancient dao essence, dignified and domineering.

There were no carvings in front of the door, no guardians, only the sword platform could be seen and it was filled with sword marks, each of those sword marks were filled with murderous qi.

“Tomb of the Great Emperor, finally I’ve found you!” The third Elder said excitedly as he stared at the giant door.

“Such a terrifying sword platform!” The third Elder said with a solemn expression as he stared at the sword platform that was before the door.

On the platform, there was a hole that seemed to be stabbed by countless blades. The platform was still emitting lingering powerful sword qi.

“Third Elder, What’s so special about this platform ? Isn’t it just a normal stone platform?”

“Yeah, it looks normal to me, Third Elder, could this be a powerful artifact?”

The ones behind the Third Elder asked with a confused look.

“What do you guys know? Not even a Divine Emperor expert could possess such a great treasure just by looking at the might of the sword platform. Although it’s not a world-class treasure, one could surely identify how powerful its owner was. The sword's edge is sharpened, and the sword platform is born for the sword. Every time the blade merges with the platform, it’s to sharpen the blade, only true experts would use a sword platform to maintain a blade.” The third Elder said with a solemn expression.

“Why would someone use it just to maintain a blade?”

“Because a blade is too powerful, billions are bound to bleed once its unsheathed, or, the owner may lose control of its blade. Therefore, a sword platform is there to contain and control the domineering qi of the blade.”

“There have been many emperors that are proficient in the art of blade since ancient times, this Ancient Northern Cold Emperor must be one of the very best with such a powerful blade. However, amongst the records I’ve read… there’s none that fits such a description.” The third Elder shook his head and looked up, with his eyes fixed upon the sword platform.

The platform’s value could certainly be on-par with a Primal Origin Treasure. Because if this platform was given to a great master blacksmith… perhaps he could forge 10 Primal Origin Treasures from it.

The Third Elder’s eyes were fixed upon the Nameless Sword Platform.

“Hahaha, Third Elder, how are you? Great equipment is well-suited to those that are capable.” A loud voice reverberated through the air.

The third Elder quickly turned and looked back.

“Dou Tianhuang? It’s you!”

The third Elder’s pupil contracted as he did not expect Dou Tianhuang to appear here.

“The Second Palace Lord asked me to come and assist you, therefore, I’ve accepted his request…” Dou Tianhuang crossed his arms and said with a smile.

The third Elder gritted his teeth and gently nodded. This fella is not simple, to think the Palace Lord would inform him, this is a bad move. When I informed the palace lord about this place, he too did not know how great this tomb was. The palace lord’s decision is wrong, the fellas from the Battle God Clan are despicable.

If he knew the situation of this tomb, he would’ve regretted his decision.

“I’m quite fond of this sword platform, Third Elder, are you willing to hand it over to me?”
