I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1243

Chapter 1243: The 1245th Child Chapter 1243: The 1245th Child Duan Xingliu couldn't help but chuckle when Song Jian asked about the Grand Elder's strength. He didn't think Song Jian was intending to forcefully take the equipment from the Grand Elder. Despite Song Jian's impressive feat of single-handedly annihilating a guardian of a secret realm, which surprised everyone, neither the peak masters nor the elders would believe Song Jian had the strength to rival them.

After all, up to this point Song Jian was nothing more than a young man with second-tier combat power, while the peak masters and elders had at least reached the pinnacle of third-tier strength, with some even possessing legendary power.

“What, are you thinking of taking on the Grand Elder?” Duan Xingliu asked with a smile.

Song Jian wore a bitter smile and shook his head, “How could that be possible? How could I possibly be a match for the Grand Elder?”

One must know that although Duan Xingliu was the sect leader, his actual authority wasn't much different from that of other peak masters; he could only govern his own main peak. Should any issues arise, he would still need to convene with the other peak masters and elders to deliberate.

Similarly, if Duan Xingliu, as the sect leader, didn't perform well, the other peak masters had the right to remove him from his position.

But the Grand Elders were different. As far as Song Jian knew, the Imperial Sword Sect had only three Grand Elders, each possessing extraordinary strength. They were like the pillars of the sect, only to be disturbed in scenarios of potential destruction. The previous invasion of wild beasts wasn't significant enough to involve them.

One could imagine the immense power held by these three Grand Elders!

“Demi-Gods!” Duan Xingliu glanced at Song Jian and uttered these two words softly.

These two words struck Song Jian like thunder, leaving him stunned for quite some time before he regained his senses.

“Really, there truly exists a Demi-God Realm?” Song Jian felt his hands and feet tremble slightly. He had originally thought that the Legendary Realm was the highest level in this game, yet to his surprise, above the Legendary Realm, there was a Demi-God Realm.

“If there is a Demi-God Realm, does that also mean there is a God Realm?” Song Jian thought to himself, and suddenly, like weeds, the thought began to grow wildly in his mind.

“The Grand Elders are one of the Imperial Sword Sect's foundations. Each Grand Elder, with a full-powered strike, can rival a deity…” Duan Xingliu glanced at Song Jian and explained: “However, after delivering that one strike, that Grand Elder's lifespan would also come to an end!”

“What, rival a deity?” Song Jian's face wore a dazed expression. There were many temples of deities within the City of Hope, and he had encountered divine projections descending to perform divine arts upon their worshippers more than once.

Even those projections of the gods gave Song Jian an irresistible sense of power, let alone the deities themselves?

“It's like a nuclear weapon!” Song Jian couldn't help but exclaim in his mind. If not for the fact that Imperial Sword Sect inherited so much from the Ancient Sword Sect, leading to the heavy debts and responsibilities of the Ancient Sword Sect also falling upon their shoulders.

In order to avoid retribution from the deities, the Imperial Sword Sect had no choice but to retreat into Ancient Sword Star, which was similar to a semi-dimensional plane.

“With three nuclear-weapon-like Grand Elders, the Imperial Sword Sect could completely become a top-tier sect on the Main Plane, but unfortunately…” Song Jian sighed inwardly, suddenly feeling that the hope of obtaining fragments of the Sword Immortal set had dimmed even further.

Soon, Duan Xingliu and Song Jian arrived at a cave dwelling on the back mountain. As soon as they approached, Song Jian sensed the power of an array pervading the area; the entire cave dwelling was protected by a grand array.

“This is the Sun Moon Starlight Array, capable of drawing upon the power of the stars to enhance the might of the array; we must not rashly intrude!” Duan Xingliu whispered.

The two of them stood quietly outside the cave dwelling, and after a quarter of an hour, Song Jian suddenly saw the scenery before him change. The dense pine and cypress forest that had been outside the cave dwelling twisted, and countless points of starlight appeared before Song Jian's eyes.

Not long after, Song Jian saw a tightly closed stone door appear before him. Next to the stone door, there was a stele about ten feet tall and eight feet wide, covered in fist-sized golden runes. Song Jian looked at them, unable to recognize any of the letters, feeling that each rune emitted endless power.

This stele was also a remarkable treasure, similar to an array disk! It seemed that guarding this cave dwelling was not only the Sun Moon Starlight Array that Duan Xingliu mentioned, but also this stele-like array disk!

In no time, the stone door opened automatically, and a boy in a wide Daoist robe walked out, looking to be only around twelve or thirteen years old, with a handsome visage. He bowed to Duan Xingliu and said, “Senior Brother, Suixing offers his respects. The master has already been informed of your arrival, please follow me to meet the master!”

“Thank you, Junior Brother Suixing,” Duan Xingliu replied with a bow.

Song Jian was amazed; the Grand Elder was truly formidable, even a serving boy at his side could address the sect master of the Imperial Sword Sect as a brother. Him meeting the Grand Elder would require calling him Grand Uncle.

However, addressing a boy ten years his junior as Grand Uncle felt somewhat awkward to Song Jian. But seeing that the other party didn't seem to care about himself, Song Jian was happy to be ignored and just followed behind Duan Xingliu without a care, heading towards the cave dwelling.

Upon entering the cave dwelling, a cool breeze hit them, and with a deep breath, Song Jian felt the Sword Qi inside him involuntarily speed up a bit.

Looking at the nearly tangible spiritual energy within the cave dwelling, Song Jian was shocked; the spiritual energy here was more terrifying than in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land where Duan Xingliu resided. Just taking one breath increased his combat experience by over three thousand points.

Even in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land where Duan Xingliu resided, it was only a matter of enhancing the efficiency of cultivation, not directly increasing combat experience and level like this!

Thinking of this, Song Jian couldn't help but breathe faster, hiding behind Duan Xingliu and gulping the spiritual energy in the air.

Song Jian's actions seemed to attract the attention of Duan Xingliu, who couldn't help turning back to give Song Jian a stern look. It was quite embarrassing.

But Song Jian didn't care about these things. He made less noise yet continued to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy nonstop, his combat experience rapidly increasing as well.

In the information bar, the notifications of combat experience gained by Song Jian flooded the screen. He couldn't care less, as he watched the experience gauge, which had just reached level seventy, surge past one third in just a few minutes, his face revealing a delighted expression.

The boy led them to a courtyard and pointed to one of the rooms, saying, “Senior Brother, the master is inside, you may enter on your own.”

After saying this, the boy looked at Song Jian with a strange expression, his face inscrutable as if he wanted to say something but ultimately chose to remain silent.

Without expression, Duan Xingliu walked forward, pushed the door open, and entered first. Song Jian could only give the boy a slight smile and closely follow behind Duan Xingliu into the room.
