Chapter 2752: Chapter 2772: Ten Thousand Swords Pool

Lin Chen did not refuse Lan Qiangwei’s kindness and readily accepted it.

First, as Lan Qiangwei said, she was merely relaying the message—the information was provided by Lin Chen.

Second, Lin Chen saved Lan Qiangwei’s life.

This was a token of Lan Qiangwei’s gratitude, which Lin Chen accepted with a clear conscience. Of course, he felt an additional fondness for Lan Qiangwei in his heart.

Without considering other factors that could expose him, even if he were to go and remind Cui Wenxuan himself, he definitely wouldn’t receive a reward equivalent to 50,000 points. At most, getting three to five thousand points would already be quite impressive.

Cui Wenxuan was giving this entirely as a gesture to save Lan Qiangwei’s face. From this perspective, Lin Chen had made a big profit.

Without alarming anyone, Lin Chen quietly arrived at the Main Hall and met with Cui Wenxuan once again.

When Cui Wenxuan inquired again whether Lin Chen wished to join Gathering Immortal Island, Lin Chen once more tactfully declined.

Cui Wenxuan wasn’t angry. There were so many talents in the world and more powerful forces than Gathering Immortal Island. A person of Lin Chen’s young age who had reached such a realm might not necessarily need to join his Gathering Immortal Island.

For a young cultivator like Lin Chen, who had reached the Carp Dragon Realm with limitless prospects, if he truly wanted to join a force, any of the Twelve Immortal Sects or even the Myriad Immortal Hall would certainly be no problem.

Gathering Immortal Island opened its doors to attract powerful outsiders, but naturally had to consider its reputation and rules. If the rules were broken and its good name spoiled, who would dare to come in the future?

"If you choose not to join, I won’t force you, but before you learn the Vast Wilderness Ten Thousand Sword Art, you must take a blood oath that after learning the art, you will not pass it on to anyone in any way. Otherwise, you will suffer the punishment of the blood oath."

Lin Chen agreed readily, "Okay!"

Lin Chen was well aware of these restrictions. Without them, Gathering Immortal Island, with its many Cultivation Techniques, would be learned by others in no time. After all, every one of these techniques could be considered a Major Force’s heritage art, capable of supporting a vast sect!

Beyond the blood oath, learning many top-tier techniques often required something special. For example, to learn the Sand Dragon Illusory Divine Art, one would need the Giant Sand Demon Snake Atlas. Without the atlas, even if you have the technique, you couldn’t possibly cultivate it successfully. So, even with the desire, you might not be able to achieve it.

"Alright, you may proceed to the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion. I’ve already notified them, and you will enter the Ten Thousand Swords Pool to cultivate. You have half a year. If you cannot master it within that time, don’t blame us for not giving you the opportunity."

Lin Chen asked, "How long does it normally take to practice the Vast Wilderness Ten Thousand Sword Art?"

Cui Wenxuan replied, "Cultivating the Vast Wilderness Ten Thousand Sword Art is not particularly difficult. However, to truly master it, one needs to cultivate the Sword Heart, which requires the assistance of the Ten Thousand Swords Pool. The usual time to form the Sword Heart is three months. If you can’t form it in six months, it just means you aren’t suited for the Vast Wilderness Ten Thousand Sword Art, and you may as well give up."

Lin Chen let out a sigh of relief; he had been a little worried that setting a time limit was to increase the difficulty and prevent him from learning the Vast Wilderness Ten Thousand Sword Art.

"Okay, thank you, Island Master!"

Soon, Lin Chen arrived at the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion. After taking the blood oath as per the established procedure, the Old man guarding it opened a void passage.

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up; this Ten Thousand Swords Pool wasn’t in this space, but within an Exotic Space!

Lin Chen stepped into the passage, and with a blur before his eyes, he found himself in an unfamiliar space.

Just as he appeared, Lin Chen felt the boundless Sword Intent coming from all directions, enveloping him completely.

Stimulated by the Sword Intent, Lin Chen’s Sword Bones seemed to awaken, also radiating endless Sword Intent to counter the oppressive force.

Glancing around, Lin Chen was completely shocked.

Countless swords swam around like fish in this space, converging in groups like schools of fish in the Ocean, dense and numerous.

Each sword was filled with a strong Sword Intent, as sharp as spear tips, as though they would pierce your body in the next second, leaving you riddled with holes.

This dense Sword Intent was like an endless sea, filling the entire space, with the flying swords serving as the fish in the waters.

No wonder this place was called the Ten Thousand Swords Pool; this vast scene was the most literal description possible.

At the bottom of the entire Ten Thousand Swords Pool, there was a massive stone tablet, slightly damaged and filled with an old and ancient air.

It stood there quietly, like a reef in the sea, tranquil and aloof.

All the swimming swords went wild, but not a single one dared to approach within three meters of the stone tablet.

Contending with the sky-full Sword Intent, Lin Chen descended to stand in front of the stone tablet, feeling a sudden ease in the terrifying pressure of Sword Intent.

The huge stone tablet had no text, only mottled marks.

Sword marks!
