I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1595

Chapter 1595: Chapter 1596: Quenching Sword Ancient City Chapter 1595: Chapter 1596: Quenching Sword Ancient City Song Jian's level had not increased, but his understanding of swordsmanship had advanced by countless folds compared to before he entered the secret realm. Moreover, while comprehending the Chaos Sword Canon, he had stayed for a full three days, even though he constantly experienced the terror of being killed by himself. Nonetheless, Song Jian persevered.

The Chaos Sword Canon had been elevated to level nine. Its power was enhanced, and as the Chaos Sword Qi increased, he also comprehended a new sword move, Star Destruction!

Song Jian learned this move from the images within the rock wall. In fact, those images, when demonstrating the Chaos Sword Canon, did not only perform the Red Dust Tribulation and Divine Descent moves Song Jian had comprehended but also many other powerful sword moves. Song Jian could not possibly comprehend all of these sword moves at once; he could only keep them in mind to ponder in the future. Only the move Star Destruction was fully grasped by Song Jian and transformed into his own sword technique.

Not only the Chaos Sword Canon, but the mastered Karmic Fire Red Lotus Ten Thousand Swords Art had also been developed into many powerful moves by the rock wall images. The Red Lotus Sword of the “All Swords as One” was just one of them.

“To endure for nine days, you could also be ranked among the top ten in the history of the Imperial Sword Sect,” the Grand Elder Duan Xingyun said with a smile.

“Only ranked in the top ten?” Song Jian shook his head.

“It's already quite impressive,” Duan Xingyun said with a laugh. “You are a Divine Favorite, unaffected by the gods' curses. Perhaps, before too long, you will advance to Divine level!”

Duan Xingyun's expression became serious as he continued, “Remember, when you are about to ascend to the Divine level, do not crystallize a divine core, do not ignite the Divine Flame to advance!”

“Once you do that, you'll be trapped in this world like those deities!” Duan Xingyun said.

“Trapped in this world?” Song Jian frowned. He had never considered this!

Only those above level two hundred could undertake the mission to advance to Divine level. Song Jian still had a long way to go before reaching Divine level. Even if he started now and focused on grinding and questing for levels, it would take at least ten years in the game world to rise from one hundred fifty to two hundred.

However, Song Jian was confident that, if it were him, in just two or three years, he could reach the requirements to undertake the mission for ascending to Divine level!

“Alright, you can leave now! Remember, ascend to Divine level sooner rather than later. You do not have much time left!” Duan Xingyun watched Song Jian for a while, then sighed and said.

Just as Song Jian was about to speak, his vision blurred, and he vanished from the secret realm. When he regained his sight, he was back on the plaza in front of the main hall of the Imperial Sword Sect's peak.

“Song Jian, enter the main hall!” Duan Xingliu's voice came from inside the hall.

“Yes, Master!” Song Jian quickly responded and hurried towards the hall.

Upon entering the main hall, Song Jian found that all the peak masters and elders were inside, seemingly discussing something. When they saw Song Jian enter, they fell silent, and all eyes were on him.

“Gentlemen, what do you think? Does this young man have what it takes?” Duan Xingliu asked with a smile.

After a moment of silence, the Elder of Transmission stood up and said, “Sect Leader, as your direct disciple, Song Jian is the natural choice for this mission. Moreover, his strength is the greatest among all the disciples. Now, seeing his Sword Qi condensed outside, with strength that surpasses even some of the elders and peak masters, it is most appropriate that Song Jian undertake this mission!”

With the Elder of Transmission speaking, several other elders and peak masters agreed, and Duan Xingliu nodded with a smile, gesturing for Song Jian to come forward.

Song Jian had just emerged from the secret realm and was unaware of what these peak masters and elders were discussing. However, it seemed like there was a difficult mission that had yet to find a candidate.

Just as he emerged from the secret realm, Duan Xingliu intended to assign him this mission.

“I have seen the Sect Leader and the Elders, and the Peak Master,” Song Jian stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

“Song Jian, have you seen the Grand Elder?” Duan Xingliu asked.

“Reporting to Sect Leader, I have indeed met the Grand Elder!” Song Jian replied reverently.

“How many days did you stay in the secret realm?”

“Nine days!”

“Nine days, heh, good, good!” Duan Xingliu chuckled as he stroked his beard in laughter, “To be able to stay in front of the Contemplation Rock for nine days is indeed a sign of your brilliant talent! Song Jian, there is a mission from our sect that I need you to undertake. Would you be willing?”

“Reporting to Sect Leader, your disciple is willing!” Song Jian said without hesitation.

“Good!” Duan Xingliu's face showed satisfaction as he pulled out a dark gold scroll from his bosom and threw it to Song Jian, “Deliver this scroll to Divine Peak Master of the Divine Sword Sect. Remember, once you are at the Divine Sword Sect, their disciples may challenge you. At that time, do not bring shame upon our Imperial Sword Sect!”

“Yes, Sect Leader!” Song Jian received the scroll and replied.

Divine Sword Sect was more than a thousand kilometers from the City of Hope. After Song Jian returned to the City of Hope from Ancient Sword Star, he used the Transmission Array and arrived at a nearby ancient city closest to the Divine Sword Sect, the Quenching Sword Ancient City.

More than eighty percent of this ancient city's inhabitants were life profession players, and of those, more than eighty percent were Forging Masters.

It was said that the best forged equipment in the game all came from the Quenching Sword Ancient City, and the city was home to three Forging Grandmasters.

As Song Jian stepped off the Transmission Array of Quenching Sword Ancient City, he immediately saw a huge sword, over thirty feet long, suspended above the city. The broad blade of the sword sparkled intermittently with complex and mysterious runes, and the entire sword radiated a faint divine light. From a distance, it was as if a small sun hung over the city, its radiance enveloping the entire Quenching Sword Ancient City.

Listening to the NPC's introduction beside him, Song Jian learned the history of this giant sword. It was called the Guardian City Sword, a Demi-God Artifact forged by the joint efforts of the three Forging Grandmasters of Quenching Sword Ancient City. The moment it was successfully made, the Guardian City Sword automatically acquired a Sword Spirit. Its purpose was to protect Quenching Sword Ancient City and fend off invasions from enemies.

Song Jian had a feeling that the Guardian City Sword was not fully forged. To call it a Demi-God Artifact seemed a bit of a stretch, and the divine essence within it was probably insufficient even to amount to a fraction, possessing only an extremely minute amount of divinity.

“However, the ability to contain divine essence already endows it with some qualities of a divine artifact. Now it only needs some divine power infused into it, and this Guardian City Sword will instantly transform into a true divine artifact!” Song Jian mused as he looked at the Guardian City Sword suspended in mid-air.

Ordinarily, weapons cannot contain divine essence; even if forcefully infused, it could cause the weapon to explode. But divine artifacts are different. Even the lowest grade of divine weaponry can contain divine essence. The amount of divinity absorbed absolutely determines the ultimate strength of the weapon.

After glancing at the Guardian City Sword, Song Jian smiled faintly. To display a divine artifact so openly, Quenching Sword Ancient City must not have faced a true divine-level power; otherwise, this divine weapon alone could bring a catastrophe to the entire ancient city.
