Chapter 879: Chapter 874 Divine Stone (1 more update)

Persuade him? Go in?

Su Chen’s voice not only entered the elder’s ears, but also reached everyone in front of the Forest of Thousands Swords, creating an eerily thrilling atmosphere for a moment.

Su Chen, is he really seeking death?!

Even though Su Chen had created several miracles in less than a month since joining the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect, proving himself a monster of the Epoch Level with powerful talent for martial cultivation.

Yet at this moment, very few people naively believed that his perseverance was correct.

Not for anything else, just because, for nearly a thousand years, all about five hundred disciples of the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect, who were similarly determined to proceed despite the elder’s forewarning and persuasion like Su Chen, had all died without exception!!!

The probability was one hundred percent, and with over five hundred disciples, the base number was large enough.

"He’s really crazy, Zhen’er, I told you not to get too emotionally involved, he’s just a madman constantly seeking death." In the crowd, Liu Yu sighed, looking pityingly at Xiao Zhen beside him.

She was well aware that Xiao Zhen had truly developed feelings, and the man who could move Xiao Zhen’s heart was one in a billion.

It was hard enough to find someone like Su Chen, and yet... Liu Yu was really afraid that Xiao Zhen couldn’t accept it.

Xiao Zhen’s face was pale, and she remained silent.

As if she hadn’t heard what Liu Yu said.

"Zhen’er, maybe, you should try persuading him," Liu Yu couldn’t help saying.

"I can’t persuade him!" Xiao Zhen clenched her teeth: "If I could have persuaded him, I would have rushed up there long ago, this madman!!! He deserves to die!"

Liu Yu shook her head and said no more, indeed, he deserved it if he died.

In the Void above, Heyue Nishang slightly frowned; she guessed right, Su Chen indeed chose to persevere.

But deep down, she didn’t think Su Chen could really survive the Forest of Thousands Swords.

She didn’t stop him because she always felt that one should walk their own path and make their own choices; even if it meant failure and death, there should be no regrets.

Therefore, she didn’t interfere with Su Chen’s choice.

"This reckless fool, ah..." The Sect Master was somewhat annoyed: "So worrisome."

Beside him, Jun Luoying, too, was pale.

However, Jun Luoying didn’t say anything, and just like what Heyue Nishang thought, she also didn’t like to forcibly interfere with Su Chen’s choices, even if this path might lead to death.

"Sect Master, maybe, he has some reliance we don’t know about," the Great Elder Yuu Tianyi said with a bitter smile, though he didn’t believe his own words, he merely consoled the Sect Master and Heyue Nishang.

"Later, if this reckless fool really encounters a life-threatening danger in the Forest of Thousands Swords, we’ll all act together," the Sect Master took a deep breath and said: "If we all join forces, we can break the Forest of Thousands Swords."

The moment these words from the Sect Master were spoken, all twelve elders including Heyue Nishang were shocked.

That’s the Forest of Thousands Swords!!!

For the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect, it held extraordinary significance, being one of the strongest reliances of the Sect. Breaking the Forest of Thousands Swords?

After that, the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect would be like losing an arm and might swiftly decline to a second-tier force.

Was the cost too great?

Was he preparing to sacrifice the whole Sect for one Su Chen?

For a time, all twelve elders inhaled sharply, indescribable shock in their hearts.

It seemed they had underestimated Su Chen’s status in the heart of the Sect Master.

At the same time.

At the entrance of the Forest of Thousands Swords, the guarding elder stared deeply at Su Chen, then after a long time, said: "Since that’s the case, you may enter now."

"Thank you!" Su Chen sighed in relief, he was afraid that the old man would forcefully stop him from entering.

"Here’s a piece of advice, the Forest of Thousand Swords consists of seven layers. Testing out the first and second layer should be enough; if you want to stay alive, do not go beyond the second layer," the guarding elder spoke indifferently.

The Forest of Thousand Swords is made up of ten thousand Sword Lights, each left behind by the Old Ancestors.

However, these ten thousand Sword Lights were left behind by Old Ancestors from different eras.

Among them, some are Sword Lights from the Early Stage of Old Ancestors, while others are from the Later Stage.

At the Later Stage, the strength of the Old Ancestors reached a level where they could penetrate heaven and earth, naturally making their Sword Lights extremely powerful; comparatively, the Early Stage ones are weaker.

The Forest of Thousand Swords can be roughly divided into seven layers.

The First Level is the Forest of Sword Intent.

The Second Level is the Sword Enlightenment Forest.

The Third Level is the Heart of Sword Forest.

The Fourth Level is the Jiantong Forest.

The Fifth Level is the Sword Path Forest.

The Sixth Level is the Sword Perpetuity Forest.

The Seventh Layer is the Sword True Forest.

The seven layers of Sword Forest, each layer more terrifying and dangerous than the last.

"Thank you." Su Chen nodded.

"This is the Divine Stone of the Forest of Thousand Swords!!!" Subsequently, the old man abruptly raised his hand and casually placed in front of the forest a large stone.

That stone was semi-transparent and was as tall as three men.

Solid, translucent, natural, simple, and filled with a certain charm.

On that Divine Stone, however, were seven deep Sword Scars, each unfathomably deep.

Su Chen subconsciously looked at the Divine Stone, not quite understanding what the purpose of this stone appearing was.

"The Divine Stone was a Sword Sharpening Stone left behind by the Old Ancestors during their sword training," the old man said indifferently: "These Sword Scars, from bottom to top, correspond exactly to the seven layers of the Forest of Thousand Swords. Now, input a strand of your Divine Soul into it. When you enter the Forest of Thousand Swords, the stone will display your location."

"Display?" Su Chen raised an eyebrow, is this like GPS positioning? Does this mean that once I enter the Forest of Thousand Swords, whichever layer I enter and wherever I go, not only will the old man know, but all the hordes of onlookers outside the Forest of Thousand Swords will also be able to see?

"It seems impossible to keep a low profile then!" Su Chen thought to himself.

"Elder, may I ask, what is the purpose of using this Divine Stone to locate my position in the Forest of Thousand Swords?" Su Chen asked solemnly, could it really just be to see how far each disciple who enters can go?

"For the convenience of retrieving corpses!" The elder revealed six words, then added somberly: "The Forest of Thousand Swords is a sacred site left by the Old Ancestors. It must not be polluted by corpses. Any disciple who enters and dies, I must find and remove their bodies."

So that was it.

The Forest of Thousand Swords was too mysterious and strange; even this guardian elder would find it difficult without the Divine Stone positioning.

With the Divine Stone positioning, it helps in locating the bodies of disciples who die within.

The elder’s explanation was logical, yet gave a profoundly bone-chilling feeling.

For a moment, the area in front of the Forest of Thousand Swords grew even more deathly still.

Many Martial Cultivators couldn’t help but tremble and shiver.

Su Chen then transferred such a minute, almost negligible part of his Divine Soul into the Divine Stone.

Indeed, the moment the Divine Soul entered, a black dot appeared under the first Sword Scar at the very bottom of the Divine Stone.

This indicated that Su Chen had not yet entered the Forest of Thousand Swords.
