Chapter 98: Revisiting Mount Sword

Lin Ran was already very familiar with the peaks of Mount Sword. He recognized the one where the cave was at a glance and flew over on his sword.

After landing, he looked at the narrow cave entrance in the cliff and felt the pure sword intent in the air that had yet to dissipate.

Although he had only been away for more than ten days, Lin Ran couldn’t help but feel nostalgic.

Then, Lin Ran walked to the side of the cave and passed through a curtain made of ancient vines. In front of him was a gentle slope.

On the flat hill, there was a small mound piled up with gravel. The skeleton of the Ten Miles Sword God was buried below.

On the mountain wall, the words “Ten Miles Sword God’s Resting Place” were carved with sword marks. It was as if the entire main peak of Mount Sword was the tombstone of the Ten Miles Sword God!

After sighing for a while, Lin Ran took out three dead branches from the bushes. As the fire-elemental sword energy swept past, green smoke rose from the dead branches.

Lin Ran knelt in front of the mound and inserted three dead branches into the ground. He pressed his palms together and bowed. “Sword God, I really don’t mean to disturb you. It’s your prospective disciple who insisted on coming over to see the sword technique you left behind. I couldn’t talk him out of it no matter what.”

“But… when he came over and saw how shabby the tomb was, of course, I didn’t do it on purpose. Back then, my cultivation wasn’t high, and the stones on Mount Sword were too difficult to dig. If he saw it, he would definitely fight me to the death, so…”

At this point, Lin Ran raised his head slightly and stared at the tombstone in front of him. He asked tentatively, “Can I move you to somewhere else? If you don’t say anything, I’ll take it that you agree!”

After waiting for a few seconds and confirming that there was no movement on the pile of stones, Lin Ran heaved a sigh of relief. He removed the stones and began to dig up the skeleton of the Ten Miles Sword God.

Time passed second by second. The agreed time was almost up.

Lin Ran had to speed up. There were more and more stones around him, but there was still no sign of the skeleton in the pit.

Lin Ran began to feel that something was wrong.

The stones on Mount Sword were abnormally hard. Back then, when he buried the Ten Mile Sword God, he was only at the Grandmaster Realm. He only dug for half a meter before he almost exhausted all his strength.

The stone pit in front of him had already been dug for nearly a meter, but the skeleton was still nowhere to be seen.

“Could it be that Sword God found the pit I dug too small and expanded it himself?”

Lin Ran muttered to himself. After saying that, he realized how disrespectful he was and hurriedly put his palms together and bowed to the sky.

If Sword God didn’t expand the pit, then Lin Ran must have remembered the location wrongly.

However, there was only a gentle slope near the entrance of the cave, and the inscription he had personally carved was still at the side. It was impossible for him to remember it wrongly, right? Otherwise, that would be too brainless!

After thinking for a long time, Lin Ran could only bite the bullet and continue digging.

At this moment, Lin Ran couldn’t care less about the agreed time. His mind was filled with one thing: Where was Sword God’s remains?

After an unknown period of time.

The stone pit was big enough for Lin Ran to crawl into, but the bottom was still filled with rubble.

“That’s weird!”

This time, Lin Ran was anxious. He gritted his teeth and rolled up his sleeves. Just as he was about to dig again, he suddenly heard a voice behind him. “What are you doing?”

Lin Ran froze because he recognized that it was Huo Qiyun’s voice.

He looked up and saw Huo Qiyun standing by the pit with a frown. Beside him was a middle-aged man wearing the clothes of a mountain guardian. He must have been sent to take over the position after Lin Ran entered the palace.

The two of them looked at each other as if they were looking at an alien.

Lin Ran rolled his eyes and pretended to be calm as he stretched. “It’s fine. I just realized that there’s a pit here, so I wanted to dig it up and see if there are any treasures.”

Huo Qiyun cursed under his breath and pulled Lin Ran out of the pit.

The middle-aged man at the side cupped his hands and said, “I’m Wang Kailin, the guardian of Mount Sword. May I ask who you are and when you entered Mount Sword?”

Wang Kailin’s tone was polite, but his eyes were filled with vigilance. It was obvious that he thought Lin Ran was up to no good.

Lin Ran quickly explained, “You don’t have to be nervous. I’m Lin Ran, the commander of the imperial guards in the palace and the former guardian of Mount Sword!”

When he heard the word “Lin Ran”, the vigilance in Wang Kailin’s eyes dissipated. After Lin Ran finished speaking, he immediately cupped his hands and smiled. “So it’s Commander Lin. It’s an honor to meet you!”

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lin Ran pointed at the deep pit on the ground and probed, “Guardian Wang, you’re guarding Mount Sword now. Do you know if anyone has been here?”

Wang Kailin looked troubled when he heard this. “To be honest, my cultivation level is low. If not for this young man protecting me today, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to reach the depths of Mount Sword, so…”

“Fine.”

Lin Ran nodded helplessly. He unsheathed the Dragon Roar Sword and weaved it to create a sword energy barrier around Wang Kailin. “This sword energy will protect you. My friend and I will walk around here. You can go back first.”

“Yes, I’ll take my leave.”

Wang Kailin bowed and turned to leave. Lin Ran turned around and saw Huo Qiyun looking at the “gravestone” he had carved.

“How’s it?”

Lin Ran introduced matter-of-factly, “My design concept is to turn the entire main peak into Sword God’s tombstone. Isn’t the idea very grand?”

Huo Qiyun didn’t say anything. He was silent for a long time with a sad expression before looking at Lin Ran and asking, “Where did you bury Grandpa Sword God? I want to pay my respects.”

“You can pay your respects here. Sword God is buried in this mountain.”

Lin Ran replied with a forced smile. Although he hadn’t dug up Sword God’s skeleton yet, no matter how deep this stone pit was, it couldn’t run through the entire main peak, right?

Perhaps because he was too sad, Huo Qiyun did not notice Lin Ran’s abnormality.

After paying his respects to the “gravestone”, Huo Qiyun rubbed the corners of his eyes and looked at Lin Ran. “Let’s go. Take me to see the sword technique left behind by Grandpa Sword God!”

“No problem!”

Lin Ran agreed and couldn’t wait to leave. After passing through the ancient vine curtain again, the two of them went into the cave.

“This is the place where Sword God went into seclusion back then. Do you see the sword marks on the wall? These were left behind by Sword God! Back then, I cultivated here for a long time. If you’re interested, you can also cultivate here later!”

“Actually, there is also a lot to learn from the sword marks outside. If you look carefully, you will discover that the direction of the sword marks is actually pointing to the location of this secret cave… I discovered it myself back then! Isn’t it amazing?”

Lin Ran held the Ten Miles Dragon Roar in his hand and activated the fire attribute sword energy to illuminate the area. As he walked, he introduced the cave along the way like a tour guide.

“Next, we’re going to visit the stone room that Sword God used to cultivate in seclusion… Wait! Where’s the stone room? Where’s the big stone room?!”

Lin Ran opened his eyes wide, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

The spacious stone room had disappeared without a trace. At the end of the cave passage was nothing but a thick stone wall.
