137. Sword Tomb

"Brother Lu, please tell me, what is the method?" Lin Fei slowly asked.

"In Hidden Sword Sect, there is a place called the Sword Tomb! All the predecessors in the sect, after their death, their accompanying swords are buried in the Sword Tomb. Among them, there are quite a few martial arts masters who have comprehended sword intent.

Over a thousand years, the number of swords buried in the Sword Tomb has accumulated to be countless! When the swordsmen of my Hidden Sword Sect condense sword intent, over time, the sword intent will attach itself to the accompanying swords. Even after hundreds or thousands of years, they will not dissipate.

If someone enters the Sword Tomb and stimulates Martial Dao True Intent, it will certainly provoke the sword intent inside the tomb, isn't this a way to sharpen your intent?

However, there are too many sword intents in the Sword Tomb. More than a hundred sword intents once provoked, are unparalleled in their attack. If you cannot withstand it, Brother Lin, I'm afraid your saber intent will be damaged, and the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Lin Fei's eyes lit up.

"Sword Tomb?"

Lin Fei didn't expect that the Hidden Sword Sect would have such a place. The depth of its foundation was simply unimaginable. More than a hundred sword intents! That meant that the Hidden Sword Sect had at least given birth to more than a hundred powerful martial artists who had comprehended sword intent. This deep foundation was far beyond what the Nine Profound Sect could compare to.

"Brother Lu, I would like to try my luck in the Sword Tomb."

Lin Fei immediately expressed his stance. This Sword Tomb was an excellent place. More than a hundred sword intents sharpening his saber intent together, as long as he could withstand it, Lin Fei was confident that he could achieve saber intent transcendence!

"The Sword Tomb is of great significance to my Hidden Sword Sect. Generally, outsiders are not allowed to enter. However, Brother Lin has done me a great favor. With my guarantee, Brother Lin can naturally enter the Sword Tomb," Lu Zongyi got up, "Brother Lin, come with me."

Lin Fei also stood up and followed behind Lu Zongyi. They left the cave dwelling. Lin Fei followed Lu Zongyi to another mountain peak. He didn't know if it was his illusion. This mountain peak, at first glance, seemed like a long sword, reaching the sky!

"What a majestic mountain peak!" Lin Fei exclaimed.

"Brother Lin, this is the Sword Tomb Peak, and the Sword Tomb is right above. Under normal circumstances, no one wants to come to the Sword Tomb. Besides sword intent, there is also sorrow here, which is the sadness of the sword, and it will affect people's emotions as well.

Especially for the swordsmen of our Hidden Sword Sect, the impact is even greater. Therefore, I will not accompany you up there.

Oh, one last thing. I hope that you won't touch the items inside the Sword Tomb, Brother Lin. Especially those swords, as they are the relics of our Hidden Sword Sect's predecessors for our disciples."

Lin Fei nodded and said, "I will only hone my saber intent and will not disturb the items in the Sword Tomb!"

Having said that, Lin Fei looked at the narrow staircase leading up to the Sword Tomb Peak.

"Whoosh."

Lin Fei took a step and instantly set foot on the stone steps of the Sword Tomb Peak. Step by step, he walked towards the top of Sword Tomb Peak.

The higher he went, the stronger the wind became. The cold was bone-chilling. Moreover, faintly, it seemed as if there were whispers of sorrow. That was the sorrowful cry of the swords.

Lin Fei was undeterred and quickly reached the summit. The summit was the Sword Tomb. Underneath every piece of the ground, there might be a sword buried. Each sword once represented a disciple of the Hidden Sword Sect.

Whether it was a disciple at the body refining level or a martial arts master, in the Sword Tomb, they were all treated equally, all were qualified to have their swords buried in the Sword Tomb after death. Therefore, the number of swords buried in the Sword Tomb was far more than ten thousand.

"Crack."

Lin Fei walked in the Sword Tomb. He accidentally stepped on a sword. The sword was broken.

It was just a broken sword. And it was rusty. It was unclear how long it had been there.

Lin Fei looked around. In all directions, there were similar broken swords.

At this moment, Lin Fei didn't show his saber intent. Naturally, no sword intent appeared.

"Forgive me, predecessors of Hidden Sword Sect!"

Lin Fei took a deep breath and bowed with his fists toward the four corners of the Sword Tomb.

The next moment, Lin Fei mobilized his saber intent and burst forth.

"Boom."

A terrifying saber intent erupted from Lin Fei's body. The horrifying saber intent, like a tidal wave, swept towards all directions. The originally calm Sword Tomb, at this moment, the tranquility was completely shattered.

"Buzz."

Suddenly, the entire Sword Tomb seemed to vibrate. There were faint bursts of "sword cries" echoing throughout the Sword Tomb.

"Boom."

The first sword intent appeared. It was a rusty iron sword. It looked plain and ordinary, but it didn't affect the terrifying sword intent. It instantly rushed towards Lin Fei's saber intent.

"A transcendence-level sword intent?"

Lin Fei's whole body shook. This sword intent was indeed strong. It was only slightly weaker than perfection-level sword intent. With the appearance of the first one, the second followed, then came the third, fourth, fifth...

In a blink of an eye, there were dozens, even hundreds of sword intents soaring into the sky. It was as if hundreds of divine swords had gathered in the sky above the Sword Tomb.

The strength of these sword intents far exceeded any perfection-level sword intent. Even Lin Fei was initially hit hard and his face turned deathly pale.

This was the first time Lin Fei's saber intent was suppressed by other Martial Dao True Intents. Of course, the sword intent on the stone tablet of the Ancestral Master Peak didn't count.

Although the sword intent on the Ancestral Master Peak's stone tablet was perfection-level, its quantity was small and it had been weakened a lot after being preserved for hundreds of years. Lin Fei could completely resist it.

But now it was different. The sword intents in the Sword Tomb had also been preserved for hundreds, even thousands of years. There were so many of them. Not only ordinary sword intents, but also mastery, transcendence, and even perfection-level sword intents. All of them were in the Sword Tomb.

Therefore, when hundreds of sword intents erupted at once, The impact on Lin Fei's saber intent was tremendous. However, this also gave Lin Fei's saber intent an opportunity. This was the true test!

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

As he forcefully persevered with his saber intent, finally, Lin Fei reaped the rewards. A voice rang in Lin Fei's mind, from the system.

"Your saber intent is being attacked by hundreds of sword intents."

"Your saber intent is tenacious and becomes stronger as the battle continues, increasing its cultivation progress by 10%."

"Your saber intent has transcended!"

"Boom."

As the voice in his mind fell, Lin Fei's mind began to roar. Then, a memory emerged in Lin Fei's mind. It was a memory about saber intent.

At this moment, Lin Fei was overjoyed. He could feel it his saber intent had completely transformed.

Lin Fei's aura was visibly increasing at a rapid pace. In the sky above the Sword Tomb, the overwhelming saber intent seemed to condense into a large saber, hanging above the Sword Tomb.

Dozens, even hundreds of sword intents constantly attacked Lin Fei's saber intent. However, it had no effect. Lin Fei's saber intent only grew stronger. In the end, it faintly seemed to condense into a substantial form and formed a vast saber intent web, enveloping the Sword Tomb.

Lin Fei's robe fluttered in the wind. His saber intent grew more and more intense.

"Slash!"

Lin Fei's eyes were cold. The invisible saber intent seemed to descend from the sky and slashed fiercely at the Sword Tomb.

"Boom."

An invisible force suddenly exploded in the entire Sword Tomb. The shockwave spread out in all directions. Lin Fei's saber intent actually suppressed hundreds of sword intents.

"Buzz."

At this moment, Lin Fei seemed to hear the sorrowful cries of the swords. Perhaps, these swords in the Sword Tomb had never felt as aggrieved as they did now. They had once followed their masters, conquering all sides, sweeping across all obstacles, and being invincible.

However, after being buried in the Sword Tomb, they were suppressed by saber intent. Each sword intent was incredibly angry! Then, one by one, the swords buried in the Sword Tomb began to tremble slightly.

Ten swords, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand...

When tens of thousands of swords began to tremble, a series of soft cries echoed, as if they were weeping. That was the lament of ten thousand swords!

"Rumble."

At this moment, the entire Hidden Sword Sect shook violently. Even the Sword Tomb Peak began to tremble.

Lu Zongyi at the foot of the Sword Tomb Peak suddenly looked up. His eyes were filled with shock as he stared at Sword Tomb Peak. In his ears, the mournful cries of swords also reached him.

"Ten Thousand Swords Lament! Brother Lin, what exactly did you do in the Sword Tomb?"

Lu Zongyi suddenly had an ominous feeling in his heart.
