I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1529

Chapter 1529: Chapter 1531: The Sole Mission Chapter 1529: Chapter 1531: The Sole Mission In the real world, deep in the ocean, countless deep-sea creatures still converged toward a certain location, the spot where Song Jian had once planted the Tree of Life.

At this moment, in this part of the sea, an infinite amount of spiritual energy was slowly seeping out and gradually merging with the seawater. The nearby marine life was the first to sense the change; they hurried to this area and continuously swallowed the spirit-infused seawater.

Changes were happening subtly and gradually, and the spread of spiritual energy was also slowly extending, from the original few kilometers to dozens of kilometers, hundreds of kilometers, and even across to land…

Song Jian was unaware of what was happening in the real world, but in the game world, he could actually sense the existence of the Tree of Life.

“What, what is this situation? Could it be that the Tree of Life has entered its mature phase?” Song Jian found it strange. The growth of the Tree of Life was extremely slow; it wouldn't be surprising if it took several hundred or even thousand years to mature. How could it have grown so fast in just a few short months?

“This must be the Tree of Life in the real world. The one in the fragment of the universe is still in its dormant phase; I can't sense it now!” Song Jian thought to himself.

System: Due to *&**…%, your physique attribute has increased by 1 point;
System: Due to *&**…%, your Vitality Points recovery speed has increased by 1%;
…

Several system notifications that mysteriously appeared in Song Jian's system interface, all of which enhanced his physical condition and attributes. However, the reasons provided were all gibberish in the system, seemingly incomprehensible!

Song Jian understood that these must be the feedback from the growing Tree of Life. As the Tree continued to grow, he would receive even more benefits from it!

The practice in the combat training room continued. Sensing the Tree of Life was just a small interlude. The sensation was still very vague, but as time passed, the connection between Song Jian and the Tree of Life would grow stronger. Eventually, he would be able to use the Tree of Life to return directly to the real world, securing himself a lifeline.

Ten hours later, Song Jian left the combat training room. His face was exhausted, but his eyes sparkled like stars. At level one hundred and fifty, the pinnacle of Legendary Realm strength, after ten hours of battling and adapting, he had finally mastered the power that had suddenly surged within him, not knowing how many mechanical puppets he had killed.

After leaving Feilai Peak, Song Jian went to the main peak and returned to his own room.

He crashed into bed and slept heavily. It took him a full twelve hours to open his eyes again, and by then, it was already evening the next day.

“Song Jian, come to the great hall to see me after you wake up!” He heard Duan Xingliu's voice transmission by his ear.

Song Jian hastily stood up; after freshening up, his spirit rejuvenated, he donned the entire Sword Immortal outfit. Song Jian's attributes had once again surged significantly. With his current strength, even if seven or eight Legendary Realm peak powerhouses were to attack him simultaneously, he felt confident that he could slay them all.

Upon arriving at the main peak's grand hall, Duan Xingliu was standing in front of a mural, which depicted scenes of battle. A group of people were employing the Sword Flight Art, surrounded by countless swords, fighting against a group of clearly Western divine powerhouses. Each Western figure exuded a divine radiance, with phantasms of Divine Countries and massive beasts looming behind them.

“This is a battle that occurred between the Imperial Sword Sect and the Western deities ten thousand years ago. At that time, dozens of Western deities fell, and the Imperial Sword Sect was severely weakened, forced to retreat to Ancient Sword Star, scrapping annually with wild beasts for territory, heh!” Duan Xingliu, seemingly aware of Song Jian's arrival, looked at the mural and spoke softly.

“The Imperial Sword Sect is descended from the Ancient Sword Sect. Apart from the Chaos Sword Canon, there are several other Legendary Level sword techniques. Each peak master and elder possess Legendary Realm cultivation, with formidable strength. Even when facing Demi-God Level powerhouses who have mastered the Power of Law, they do not fall an inch short of…” Duan Xingliu seemed to be talking to himself, whispering, “However, in all these thousands of years, not a single Demi-God Level powerhouse has emerged within the Imperial Sword Sect. The highest anyone can reach is the peak of the Legendary Realm. Do you know why?”

Turning his head, Duan Xingliu looked at Song Jian and said softly, “It's because every sect that inherits from the Ancient Sword Sect is cursed by the gods, who jointly sealed the disciples' cultivation potential, capping it at the peak of the Legendary Realm. Even if they grasped the Power of Law, they cannot break through to the Demi-God Level!”

“Unless…” Duan Xingliu stared at Song Jian and continued, “Unless one possesses a power that transcends the gods, only then can this curse be broken!”

“Master, do you mean…” Song Jian furrowed his brows and spoke in a low voice, “You want to utilize the power of the blessed by the gods to break this curse?”

“Yes, that is one of the reasons why the Imperial Sword Sect has opened its doors to recruit disciples blessed by the gods. Those blessed by the gods possess miraculous power. You can disregard the difficulties of cultivation, and as long as you have the secret manuals, you can learn directly. Hunting monsters will enhance your own strength and level. Once the level is reached, any art can be cultivated to profound mastery without any bottleneck!” Duan Xingliu said, and from his words, it was apparent that he was very familiar with the blessed by the gods but also had his limitations, having observed only some superficial phenomena and seemingly puzzled.

“You have now reached the peak of Legendary Realm. My hope is that, through you, we can break this curse and ascend to the Demi-God Level!” said Duan Xingliu.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Song Jian immediately received a system prompt.

System: You have triggered the hidden sect mission “Breaking the Sealing Curse.” This mission is extremely dangerous. Please consider carefully before making a decision to accept; the mission is unique, and if abandoned or failed, it will never be available again;
“A unique mission, with no second chance if I give up or fail?” Song Jian was stunned; he had never encountered a mission of this nature before and thought, “If I give up, does it mean that I will never have another chance to break this sealing curse?”

Song Jian hesitated, imagining that any curse sealed by the gods collaborating would surely lead to a confrontation with them. Fighting against the deities, even now, with his peak Legendary Realm power, was not enough to contend with a real deity, let alone possibly antagonizing scores of deities!

Seeing Song Jian silent, Duan Xingliu just quietly watched him until the mission acceptance countdown began. Song Jian clenched his teeth and accepted the mission.

Perhaps knowing that Song Jian had accepted the mission, Duan Xingliu's face revealed a trace of relief, and he nodded towards him saying, “You are now a peak Legendary Realm powerhouse. You can cultivate the Chaos Sword Canon. Let me explain to you the key points of cultivating the Chaos Sword Canon…”
