Chapter 125 Underground Space
He waved his palm lightly, and the purple robe appeared like a phantom, instantly wrapping his whole body.
He stood with his sword in hand, his eyes piercing through the endless void, and a sense of confusion surged in his heart: "It's so high, how can I climb it?"
Just as he was deep in thought, a flash of fiery red suddenly appeared in the void, like a meteor in the dark night, breaking the silence and rushing down with a blazing light.
The light was so bright that it seemed to illuminate the entire underground world, filling Shangguan Jiannan's eyes with dazzling red.
With a deafening roar, the flames fell heavily to the ground, causing the ground to shake, dust to fly, and flames to splash.
The flames were like an angry beast. After raging for a while, they finally calmed down, leaving behind only a scorched earth and curling green smoke.
Shangguan Jiannan's heartbeat quickened as he slowly approached the place where the fire had gone out. Every step he took seemed unusually heavy.
When he finally stood on the scorched earth, the scene before him made him instantly forget all his fatigue and confusion - a jet-black scabbard, lying there quietly, about three feet long, emitting a faint cold light, obviously extraordinary.
"Scabbard!" he exclaimed, with indescribable ecstasy surging in his heart.
This is not just a scabbard, but also the destination of the unknown sword he has always dreamed of.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner excitement, his eyes fixed on the scabbard, as if he wanted to engrave every detail of it into his heart.
Everything around him became unimportant, only the scabbard became his entire world at this moment.
He knew that this sword would be his most solid companion on his future path and an important helper in realizing his dreams.
So he carefully picked up the scabbard, his heart filled with infinite longing and expectation for the future.
The flames raged, Shangguan Jiannan stopped far away, his enthusiasm could not be concealed.
When the fire died down and the heat dissipated, he could not wait to move forward, filled with ecstasy.
The scabbard was about three feet long and still warm, but he didn't care and just held it tightly in his hand.
When Shangguan Jiannan's palm gently touched the ancient scabbard, a strange hissing sound suddenly rang out, accompanied by wisps of green smoke rising, as if even the air was ignited. Under the skin, an indescribable burning sensation spread, and every tiny crackling sound was a test of will.
In the blink of an eye, the long sword in his right hand suddenly burst into dazzling light, like a falling star, cutting through the sky, with a strange color that transcends the mortal world.
The sword light flowed, Shangguan Jiannan turned his wrist lightly, and the sword shadows flew like a dragon playing in the water. Finally, the long sword slowly slid into the scabbard that seemed ordinary but contained infinite mysteries in a nearly perfect posture.
"Swish!" The crisp sound of the sword being sheathed, like the sound of nature, instantly calmed all the noise.
The raging scorching light seemed to be gently smoothed out by an invisible hand at this moment, leaving only a faint warmth on the surface of the scabbard, slowly transmitting an ancient and mysterious aura.
The sword and the sheath are like lovers who have been reunited after a long separation. There is no gap between them. They blend perfectly and complement each other.
There was a flash of unbelievable ecstasy in Shangguan Jiannan's eyes, and a blush of excitement appeared on his cheeks.
"This... is this the legendary nameless sword?" he muttered to himself, his voice full of disbelief and shock.
Heavy breathing sounds echoed in the silent air, and Shangguan Jiannan tried hard to calm his inner turmoil.
The surrounding mist seemed to be infected by this excitement, slowly spreading and then quickly dissipating, leaving behind a clear and tranquil scene.
The long sword in his hand is no longer just a weapon at this moment, but also the supreme glory and dream in his heart.
The warmth from the sword was like a trickle of warm current, nourishing every cell in Shangguan Jiannan and bringing him unprecedented comfort and peace.
The long sword shook lightly, making a clear and pleasant sound that echoed in the space, as if it was the most beautiful music of nature.
"This sword is truly extraordinary. It is incomparable to any ordinary iron in the world."
Shangguan Jiannan nodded with satisfaction, his eyes sparkling with endless love and cherishment for this sword.
He thought to himself, how could Huikong and Guo Polu, who were fighting fiercely for the so-called "nameless sword", have expected that the real sword would be hidden so low-key among the bones and eventually fall into his hands.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Jiannan couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.
Carrying a long sword on his back, he strolled alone among the ancient ruins, his heart filled with infinite longing and expectation for the future.
This sword will become his right-hand man in conquering the world, and will also be the most dazzling witness of his legendary career.
Shangguan Jiannan was extremely upset at the moment, and his joy was beyond words.
Even a master like Guo Polu would not dare to underestimate the earth-level secret treasure held in his hand, which shows how precious it is.
However, this joy did not last long, and he soon realized a serious problem - how to leave this bottomless pit? He looked up and saw that the exit was out of reach in the sky, and despair surged in his heart.
This huge pit is extremely deep, and it is difficult to see the end at the bottom. Even for a master like him, it would be extremely difficult to climb up.
What's more, once he shows up, he will definitely attract the attention of Guo Polu and Huikong, and then he will probably be in an even more dangerous situation.
"This road is blocked."
Shangguan Jiannan thought to himself, and then rejected the idea of climbing the mountain wall.
He knew very well that even if he could climb up by chance, he would face numerous dangers.
Inside the underground space, although the fire had gradually died down, the embers were still burning fiercely. The firelight reflected on his resolute face, adding a bit of solemnity.
He paced slowly, searching the surrounding mountain walls, trying to find a way to escape.
However, the mountain wall was as smooth as a mirror, and seemed insurmountable as a natural chasm.
"Blip, pop!" The sound of flames exploding came one after another, sparks flew everywhere, adding a bit of vitality to this dark underground space.
However, for Shangguan Jiannan, this only added to his troubles.
He knew that time was running out and he had to find a way out as soon as possible.
As the seal dissipated, the mountain wall gradually revealed its original appearance.
Several rocks fell down due to the loss of support, making dull echoes.
Shangguan Jiannan dodged the falling rocks while continuing to look for a possible way out.
His heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness, as if he was tightly bound by invisible shackles.
"What should I do? Am I really going to be trapped here to death?" he muttered to himself.
However, at this moment of despair, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind.
He suddenly stopped and looked at a corner of the mountain wall with sharp eyes.
There, he seemed to see a trace of unusual aura flowing slowly.
"Could it be..." Shangguan Jiannan felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart.
He walked quickly forward and examined the mountain wall carefully.
As he expected, there was actually an invisible crack hidden there! This discovery made him ecstatic, as if he saw the hope of rebirth.
Cautiously, he reached out and touched the gap in an attempt to widen it.
After some effort, he finally slowly opened up the gap to reveal a narrow passage.
He went in without hesitation, walked along the passage and finally successfully left the bottomless pit.
When he stood on the ground again and breathed the air of freedom, his heart was filled with incomparable emotion and gratitude.
He knew that he was able to escape danger this time thanks to that flash of inspiration and his own unremitting efforts.
All of this will become valuable experience and wealth in his future.
