Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 403 - 383: Arriving at Sword Valley

Qin Qing glanced at Liu Zhuoyan and nodded, agreeing to his proposal.

As for what Liu Zhuoyan said, Qin Qing didn’t take it seriously. He didn’t decide to travel with the Liu Clan because he truly needed Liu Zhuoyan’s protection.

In fact, he was more concerned about Liu Hongxue.

Soon...

Many teams began to enter the Sword Pond Road.

The so-called Sword Pond Road is the path leading up to a towering mountain peak, believed to be where the Sword Pond is located.

The section of the path from the foot to the peak of the mountain is called the Sword Pond Road.

Over a thousand martial artists entered the great mountain, and within a quarter of an hour, they had scattered.

This showed just how vast the mountain was.

In fact, Qin Qing even suspected that within this great mountain, there were other worlds hidden.

From the outside, it looked like just a solitary peak, but in reality, it contained various secret realms formed by spiritual array constructions.

As they moved forward, the forest began to change.

More and more ancient trees appeared.

And the trees that did appear became increasingly large. Qin Qing even saw one ancient tree that would take more than a dozen people to encircle, with ancient vines as thick as an adult man’s waist entwining its trunk.

The spiritual energy also began to grow much richer.

The growth of the plants became more luxuriant, and the spiritual energy more abundant, so naturally, spirit beasts became more common as well.

It wasn’t long before Qin Qing’s group encountered an attack by ferocious beasts!

They were three huge White Jade Tigers.

Each White Jade Tiger was over thirty meters long, its body as if carved from white jade, powerful and robust, with one of them even exuding the aura of a Nascent Soul, evidently an Ancestral Beast of the Nascent Soul Realm.

The other two White Jade Tigers, although not Ancestral Beasts, were just one step away from being one.

"Everyone, prepare for battle!"

Liu Zhuoyan immediately began commanding.

Faced with these three ferocious beasts, the Liu Clan’s team showed no signs of panic.

Under Liu Zhuoyan’s command, the team quickly took their positions, ready for a fight.

"You three, stand aside and don’t interfere with us!" Another person beside Liu Zhuoyan glanced at Qin Qing and the other two, barking sharply.

"Uh..." Cang Yuan was somewhat speechless, looking at Qin Qing and Zhu Linglong, "It seems they really think we’re useless."

Zhu Linglong just shrugged indifferently, "No problem, since they want us to watch, it actually saves us the trouble!"

Qin Qing smiled faintly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and willingly stepped aside.

The battle began quickly.

The Liu Clan had a total of twenty-seven people.

All twenty-seven people were in the Golden Core Realm, including Liu Hongxue.

Each of them could be considered outstanding among their peers in the same realm.

Under Liu Zhuoyan’s command, the twenty-seven people mounted a scaled attack and defense with great organization.

In the face of those three White Jade Tigers, they didn’t show the slightest flaw!

This caused Qin Qing to secretly marvel; the Ancient Family truly lived up to its name. Any one of these twenty-seven people, if placed in a place like Qian Country, could be heralded as a peerless genius.

Individuals like Lu Yu’an and Lu Yuming, who were touted as unprecedented prodigies in Qian Country, would at best be considered of average or lower talent among these twenty-seven.

In terms of combat ability, they might even rank at the very bottom.

The Ancient Family really was remarkable, producing talents continuously.

"Of course, talent is just one aspect, what’s more, it’s because the Ancient Family has superior cultivation resources. Those martial cultivators born in the Ancient Family have access to resources that geniuses of Qian Country couldn’t even compare with!" Qin Qing couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Qin Qing, do you know why the descendants of the Ancient Family, or the disciples of Ancient Sects, have more outstanding talents compared to those places you mentioned like Qian Country?"

Zhu Linglong, who heard Qin Qing’s muttering, asked.

"Why?" Qin Qing couldn’t help but wonder. "Isn’t talent something one is born with?"

Zhu Linglong shook her head with a smile, "For the vast majority, talent is indeed innate. However, there are some methods that can change talent! For instance, certain heavenly and earthly treasures can cleanse the marrow and transform the physical body. Of course, those are just the basics..."

"In fact, there are also spiritual objects that can directly transform Martial Souls, raising one’s talent for cultivation!"

Qin Qing’s eyebrows twitched.

"Like... Heavenly Spirit Water!" Zhu Linglong continued, "Heavenly Spirit Water can awaken the Martial Soul of an ordinary martial artist who can not awaken it on their own!"

"And martial artists with low-rank Martial Souls can transform into mid-rank or even high-rank Martial Souls after taking Heavenly Spirit Water!"

"What, there’s really such a thing?" Qin Qing was astonished.

He had never heard of Heavenly Spirit Water before.

"Yes! However, Heavenly Spirit Water is extremely rare. There’s hardly any in all of Tian Nian Star, and it hasn’t appeared for a full five hundred years... but it is still recorded in some ancient texts," Zhu Linglong said.

Cang Yuan nodded as well, "That’s right, Heavenly Spirit Water does exist. My Cang Clan’s ancestor was fortunate to have come across a drop of Heavenly Spirit Water!"

"Cang Qingzi the elder managed to obtain Heavenly Spirit Water?" Qin Qing was surprised.

"Yes!" Cang Yuan nodded again, "The talent of our Cang Clan’s ancestor actually wasn’t exceptionally good, but after obtaining Heavenly Spirit Water, his Martial Soul transformed, and his entire cultivation talent was elevated to Eight Stars. It was precisely because of this that he was able to break through the Golden Core and form the Nascent Soul, and later even cultivate to the Divinity Transformation Realm!"

"Heavenly Spirit Water... it’s truly miraculous," Qin Qing nodded slightly. "Linglong, are you saying that all these geniuses from the Ancient Family have talents related to Heavenly Spirit Water?"
