I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1139 - Chapter 1139 Chapter 1141 Flying Sword_1

Chapter 1139: Chapter 1141 Flying Sword_1 Chapter 1139: Chapter 1141 Flying Sword_1 In fact, under the control of the gods, the human world wasn’t particularly miserable, nor was it particularly pleasant during the wars of the gods.

Although humanity had developed its own civilization, with some technological powers even threatening the gods, there had never been an incident where a god was slain by someone of the Legendary Tier.

In the most recent Doomsday Destruction, almost all of human civilization suffered devastating blows, with the newly risen human civilization regressing by thousands of years. Not only humans but also other races rose during this time, competing with humans for control of the entire world.

If it weren’t for the players entering this world, it’s questionable whether humans would still dominate this world in a few hundred years.

The records about the Imperial Sword Sect within Dawn Temple were detailed, but the accounts of the sect’s destruction and its fragmentation into dozens of smaller factions in the coming centuries were nearly absent. This likely had much to do with these splinter factions suffering great losses in strength, having no power to challenge the gods.

Moreover, in the thousands of years since the Imperial Sword Sect’s division, not a single Legendary Tier powerhouse had emerged from these smaller factions. Clearly, they must have lost the most vital parts of their heritage, which is one reason the gods paid them no mind and didn’t completely annihilate them.

“Imperial Sword Sect, they are actually the sect that retained the most inheritance from the original sect, but why have I never heard of this sect before?” Song Jian stood by the window, muttering to himself.

“Imperial Sword Sect? Where did you hear that name?” Suddenly a man’s voice sounded from behind.

A chill ran through Song Jian’s heart. The Sky-breaking Sword appeared in his right palm in an instant, and the power of the Thousand Swords Art surged forth. Just as he turned around, ready to unleash the Thousand Swords Art, his body stiffened, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

“Mentor, when did you get back?” Seeing Duan Jian dressed in black, like a nocturnal thief, Song Jian let out a small sigh.

“I went out to take care of something,” Duan Jian replied nonchalantly. “You haven’t answered my question yet. Where did you learn about the Imperial Sword Sect?”

“At the Dawn Temple. I was originally there to do a mission, and by chance, I came across information about the Imperial Sword Sect. It seemed to be related to the Sword Control Skill I possess, so I took notice…” Song Jian explained.

He dared not tell Duan Jian about the woman from the Mysterious Town, nor that he planned to sneak into the Imperial Sword Sect to steal something for her. If he told Duan Jian, Song Jian feared that Duan Jian might slap him dead.

“Imperial Sword Sect has ceased to exist over a hundred years ago…” A complex expression appeared on Duan Jian’s face as he let out a long sigh.

Song Jian was shocked. If it no longer existed, how could he complete the mission?

“Mentor, how could it not exist anymore?” Song Jian quickly asked. “There’s no record on the Dawn Temple that the Imperial Sword Sect has been destroyed!”

“The frenzied crusade of the gods–who would dare to remain in the Main World? They all hid in the Semi-dimensional plane…” Duan Jian sighed as he spoke.

“Phew–” Song Jian also breathed a sigh of relief. So it wasn’t destroyed but had hidden in the Semi-dimensional plane. Although the difficulty of entering had increased, at least he now had a direction.

“Mentor, do you think I could join the Imperial Sword Sect?” Song Jian asked with a hopeful face.

“You? To which level have you cultivated your Sword Control Skill now?” Duan Jian looked at Song Jian with a slanted eye and asked, “You don’t even have a flying sword, do you have the nerve to attend the Imperial Sword Sect as a disciple?”

Song Jian felt somewhat depressed. Although he could passively increase his proficiency in the Sword Control Skill while performing the Thousand Swords Art, the best way to improve it quickly was the Sword Flight Art. Just a few tens of thousands of kilometers of flight could generally increase his sword control skill by one level.

But even now, Song Jian didn’t have a flying sword suitable for practicing the Sword Flight Art. He could only use the Sky-breaking Sword as a substitute, but using other swords to perform the Sword Control Skill actually increased his proficiency in Object Control, which didn’t contribute much to his Sword Control Skill.

“Mentor, I also want a flying sword, but, but there’s never been a chance to get one!” Song Jian said with a bitter face.

About flying swords, Song Jian even specially ordered people to purchase them, whether it was the flying swords themselves or blueprints for forging them, but there was never any information about them. It was as if the entire game world didn’t contain such items at all.

“Heh, that’s because you haven’t been looking in the right place!” Duan Jian said and tossed a palm-sized token to Song Jian.

Song Jian stretched out his hand to catch it and examined its properties.

“Heaven’s Heart Order? What is this?” Song Jian asked, puzzled as he looked at the three small characters on the face of the token.

Even after using the Eye of Insight, the token’s properties only read “a token of unknown effects,” and without Duan Jian’s explanation, Song Jian had no idea of its use.

“In seven days, the East Sea Mirage City will open. This token is the pass to enter that place. Take it and go to the East Sea Mirage City for a look. If you’re lucky, maybe you can buy a flying sword!” Duan Jian glanced at Song Jian and said, “Don’t say I don’t take care of you, this token isn’t easy to come by. It’s worth at least a hundred million Doomsday Coins!”

“A hundred million?” Song Jian was stunned. What could be so expensive? It was just a pass, not some treasure.

“You’ll understand once you get there!” Duan Jian said somewhat impatiently, “The map is on the back of the token. Just follow it to the specified location. With your current strength, there shouldn’t be any problems getting there. Just remember, don’t provoke the Sea Clan there!”

“Thank you, Mentor!” Song Jian turned the token over. The back of the token was engraved with a complex map, with fine lines like a spider’s web. After glancing at it a couple of times, Song Jian had no clue whatsoever.

“Drip a drop of blood on it!” Duan Jian prompted from the side.

Song Jian extended his finger, squeezed out a drop of blood, and let it fall onto the back of the token. Suddenly, ripples emanated from the back of the token, as if on water, absorbing the drop of blood.

Soon, the ripples on the back of the token slowly faded, and an arrow, similar to a compass needle, appeared. It consistently pointed in one direction as Song Jian moved it.

“Every time, the entrance to the East Sea Mirage City is different, but it’s generally within the area of the East Sea. First go to the East Sea, and then follow the guide there to find the entrance,” Duan Jian said. “Oh, and when you go to the Mirage City, buy me a bottle of Jade Marrow Wine from a store called East Sea Flower House Inn. Don’t mention my name when you buy it. The wine isn’t expensive; consider this token as payment for the wine!”

Song Jian: “… Why do I feel like I’ve been tricked!”
