Enter the Sword Master Heritage, a land of opportunity. (6000)

At this moment, Wei Jianyi came up and said, "Great Lord Cao Xing, my territory is quite a distance away, and the path in between isn't easy to traverse. Even if we travel at full speed, it will take several hours to arrive."

"No time to waste, let's set off now."

But Cao Xing shook his head and said, "No need for so much trouble. Everyone, let's take my Goblin Airship over there together."

"An airship?"

The people present all had looks of confusion in their eyes.

Before they could react,

a huge shadow covered everyone's heads.

"Hummmm—" Accompanied by the roar of machinery, a huge airship gradually descended and landed in front of everyone.

Braum's rough voice rang in their ears.

"Lord, the heater inside the airship is already on. Come on up now!"

As he finished speaking, the cabin door opened.

Cao Xing led Assam, Sarah, and the others into the cabin.

Behind them, Bai Zhi, Cheng Lu, and the others looked at this big guy with awe, seemingly still unable to react.

A moment later, Wei Jianyi said with emotion,

"This is truly outrageous—"

"While we are still racking our brains trying to catch some flying mounts for transport, others have already moved on to technology—"

"Such a huge airship, this is just too showy—"

His tone was a bit sour.

In this extreme cold world, everyone knew very well what owning this kind of travel tool represented.

It meant that their travel would be more convenient, significantly reducing travel time, while also sparing them from the suffering of the bitter cold.

Even Cheng Lu and Bai Zhi were looking at the airship with envy at this moment.

At this time, Cao Xing's voice rang out, "What are you staring at? Come on in."

Hearing this, the three of them snapped back to reality and then brought their subordinates into the airship.

At this moment, their eyes were filled with curiosity as they looked around the airship.

And Wei Jianyi was already excited.

"Is this Goblin technology? So cool!"

"Damn, it even has a built-in heater function. This is too comfortable!"

"Great Lord Cao Xing, you're just out here to enjoy yourself, aren't you!"

He appeared incredibly excited, looking left and right inside the airship.

The others were also curiously observing everything inside the airship.

Braum sat in the cockpit, pressed the start button directly, and said, "Lord, ready to depart!"

"Good."

"Whoosh—" As the energy system started, the airship's propellers began to spin, quickly taking everyone into the air.

At this moment, everyone watched the ground gradually moving away, as well as the city walls that were slowly shrinking.

Wei Jianyi said with emotion, "With this kind of Goblin airship, traveling is truly equivalent to a vacation."

"I'm so envious! When will I be able to own a flying tool of my own?"

Upon hearing this, an idea suddenly occurred to Cao Xing.

"If you want one, I can sell you each one."

Upon hearing this, a startling gleam flashed in the eyes of the three.

Even Bai Zhi looked at him with a serious expression.

"Are you serious?"

Cao Xing smiled and nodded.

Of course it was true. What couldn't be sold?

As long as he could make a profit, he would even sell legendary equipment!

And after hearing Cao Xing's confirmation, the three were once again tempted, even wanting to order one from Cao Xing immediately.

However, when they tallied the assets they possessed, looks of dejection appeared in their eyes once again.

One didn't need to think twice to know that the price of this kind of large Goblin airship would be exorbitant.

Wei Jianyi said, "Great Lord Cao Xing—this thing, we probably can't afford it—"

Cao Xing smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. If you have other treasures on hand, you can trade them with me."

"I know you must have obtained quite a few good things."

"As long as you can take out something that moves me, exchanging for a Goblin airship is nothing."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the three lit up again.

They each glanced at their backpacks, seemingly thinking about something.

However, none of them spoke.

Clearly, they did possess some powerful treasures.

However, these treasures were either extremely important or were items they used to save their lives.

They wouldn't take them out easily.

Therefore, they were currently caught in a dilemma.

Cao Xing didn't continue speaking further.

For now, he was just bringing it up.

As long as these people were interested, they would naturally private message him later.

"Hummmm—"

The Goblin airship continued to advance rapidly at top speed toward the direction of Wei Jianyi's territory.

Along the way, it flew over vast forests and high mountains.

Before them, another stretch of continuous and rugged mountains appeared.

Under Braum's control, it took them about an hour to cross that mountain range.

At this moment, Cao Xing suddenly understood why Wei Jianyi said that although his territory wasn't far from the Eternal Frost Main City, the journey took half a day.

If they didn't have the Goblin airship, they would likely have been delayed on the road for a long time.

Moreover, this was only because the place they were going to was Wei Jianyi's territory.

Places like Bai Zhi's and Cheng Lu's territories were even further, taking at least one or two days to reach.

Of course, regardless, the territories of the three of them were much closer to the main city than Cao Xing's territory.

After all, his territory and the Eternal Frost Main City were separated by a full three thousand kilometers!

Meanwhile.

After crossing that mountain range, the Goblin airship gradually flew to the foot of a large mountain.

A massive territory appeared ahead.

It was roughly one kilometer in diameter, filled with a large number of residential houses, greenhouses, arrow towers,

and some miscellaneous buildings, appearing a bit cluttered.

This was Wei Jianyi's territory.

However, his territory's structure seemed quite special, not quite the same as Cao Xing's.

His city wall was not a traditional single structure, but rather, every certain distance, a protruding defensive platform would appear, forming an isolation zone.

These platforms were covered with various weapons and defensive facilities, and the isolation zone could also serve as a buffer area.

And the most crucial thing was, this was only the first wall!

About five hundred meters away from the first wall, there was another circle of walls inside.

The area in the middle was their agricultural and industrial zone, separated from the living area inside.

Cao Xing praised, "Wei Jianyi, your design of these two walls is quite good."

Wei Jianyi smiled and shook his head, "Great Lord Cao Xing, you're joking. This was just a helpless move on my part."

"When I built the first wall, I thought that since it was just my own family, a diameter of five hundred meters should be completely sufficient."

"But I didn't expect that the population would expand too quickly later on, and I would soon need to carry out a second expansion."

"However, I felt it was too much trouble to dismantle the first wall, so I simply left it there and then built a second wall directly on the outside."

Speaking of this, Wei Jianyi sighed.

"Facts have proven that this decision of mine was wrong."

"To build these two walls, I consumed a huge amount of resources, which slowed down a lot of my progress."

"If I had used the resources for building the second wall to construct a large number of arrow towers, it would have been much easier during monster sieges."

Everyone nodded slightly.

Even Bai Zhi and Cheng Lu felt the same way.

Their territory scales were gradually expanding, and they worried about resources every day.

After all, they had spread themselves too thin, and there were too many people to support.

Cao Xing was better off here; for his territory, he was only troubled by resources when completing his second large-scale expansion.

Later, with the full-force collection by his workers, these basic resources were completely sufficient.

As everyone chatted, they had arrived near Wei Jianyi's territory.

A large number of combat personnel were standing there, seemingly having waited for a long time.

Cao Xing saw a large number of Wandering Swordsmen, Ascalon Warriors, Shield Maidens, and other troop types.

Among them, there was no lack of elite and leader-level existences.

There were even Survivors.

Seeing this scene, Cao Xing praised in his heart again.

As expected of a top three Survivor lord in the four major districts, they certainly had their strength.

Under the gaze of thousands of eyes, the massive Goblin airship gradually landed.

Everyone's faces were filled with confusion, seemingly not knowing how such a large thing had suddenly arrived near their territory.

However, when the cabin door opened.

And Wei Jianyi and the others walked out of the cabin, they understood.

They excitedly said, "Commander, you're back!"

"Commander, where did you get this big guy? It's too cool, right?"

"Commander, take us for a ride in this airship too!"

Wei Jianyi smiled and shook his head, "This airship isn't mine."

"You definitely won't be able to guess who its owner is."

In the midst of everyone's confused gazes.

A young mage appeared, holding a staff, wearing a deep blue robe, and a white crown on his head.

At this moment, everyone's gaze instantly focused on him.

In this legion, there were quite a few Survivors.

When some of them saw Cao Xing, their eyes were filled with uncertainty and shock.

Because they were far too familiar with this attire and this face!

Back when the Battle of the Oracle was broadcast live, it was this very figure who slaughtered everything across the entire Crystal Land.

Moreover, quite a few Survivors among them were participants in the Battle of the Oracle.

"Is this… Great Lord Cao Xing?"

"He actually came to our territory?"

"That shouldn't be possible, right? I heard Great Lord Cao Xing is in the Gale Snowfield, thousands of kilometers away from here!"

"Damn—this is too similar, right?"

They didn't know that Wei Jianyi had already reached a cooperative relationship with Cao Xing.

Wei Jianyi chuckled, "You didn't see wrong. This is Great Lord Cao Xing."

After receiving confirmation from their Commander.

Everyone on the field held their breath!

Then, a burst of wild cheers followed.

"Oh my god! It really is Great Lord Cao Xing. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me!"

"Damn, I actually saw the number one in the whole server with my own eyes!"

"I've always heard the legends of Great Lord Cao Xing, but this is my first time seeing him."

Everyone was incredibly excited at this moment!

"Great Lord Cao Xing, I'm Cheng Yuan. Have you seen me before? Last time during the Battle of the Oracle, I even shouted your name on the city wall."

"Get lost, with so many people on the wall back then, who would remember you."

"Great Lord Cao Xing! I'm your idol, no, you're my fan—"

They even seemed to become a bit incoherent.

Faced with the greetings from this group of Survivors, Cao Xing wore a smile on his face and nodded slightly.

At this moment, he really felt like he was at a celebrity meet-and-greet.

Wei Jianyi waved his hand, calming the restless crowd, and then said: "Alright, Great Lord Cao Xing has come over this time to go on a quest with us."

"Everyone, don't waste his time."

Hearing this, the group of excited Survivors gradually calmed down.

However, they still looked at Cao Xing with a fanatical gaze.

Bai Zhi, who was nearby, said: "Wei Jianyi, let's start the operation quickly."

Wei Jianyi nodded slightly and said: "The space in that Legacy Land is not large, so we cannot bring our legions for large-scale combat."

"Let's discuss who to bring along."

Cao Xing nodded and said: "I only have five people here, just make your own arrangements."

Wei Jianyi nodded slightly, then turned around to discuss it with Bai Zhi and Cheng Lu.

After some discussion, they each brought along four or five people.

They were all the most powerful existences in their respective territories.

Among them, there were quite a few Leader-level and even Commander-level creatures.

Before the regions merged, they were all the strongest existences in their respective large regions.

Relying on leaderboard rewards and some opportunities, they had all obtained quite a few powerful scrolls.

Behind each person followed a Commander-level Dragon Blood Warrior and two or three Leader-level existences.

Although the levels of these combatants under them were not as high as Cao Xing's subordinates, their equipment was very refined, and basically, they were all wearing set gear.

And these sets were naturally exchanged during the Battle of the Oracle.

However, the level of the sets was around level 30, which would quickly be phased out on Cao Xing's side.

Wei Jianyi said: "Since everyone has chosen, let's head over."

"Alright."

After saying that, he led the group forward.

"Tap, tap. Tap, tap—" The group stepped on the snow under their feet and walked toward the mountain not far away.

It took less than three minutes to arrive at the foot of the mountain nearby.

"We're here, everyone. The place where the legacy is located is right ahead." Wei Jianyi's voice rang out.

The group was a bit dumbfounded because they hadn't even walked for a few minutes, yet he said they had arrived.

This legacy was almost at no distance from his territory; it was equivalent to a gift given to him.

For a moment, everyone felt a bit sour inside.

If only they had such a legacy next to their territory when they first descended into this world.

Cao Xing asked at this time: "Where is the location of the legacy?"

"It's right there." Looking in the direction Wei Jianyi pointed.

At the foot of the mountain in front, there was a lonely, withered grave.

There was no tombstone, no flowers, and not a trace of vitality.

The soil on the grave mound had frozen hard.

Wei Jianyi said: "This—is the cemetery of that deceased Sword Saint."

"He didn't leave a name, and it looks just like an ordinary grave."

"However, there is a hidden passage nearby that can enter his tomb."

"Back then, I was chasing a silly spore and stumbled upon this place by accident."

This was the first time they had heard of Wei Jianyi's experience in obtaining the Sword Saint legacy.

There was indeed some luck involved.

Then, Wei Jianyi led the group toward the lonely grave.

Soon, they saw a piece of sunken land behind it, which seemed to connect to some underground space.

This was the passage Wei Jianyi had mentioned.

"I'll go in first, everyone. You can follow me down in a moment."

After speaking, Wei Jianyi jumped in directly, and then the combatants beside him also entered.

Including Bai Zhi and Cheng Lu, who also quickly led their people in.

However, this passage was too small.

Although it could accommodate the size of an adult, the Frost Wolf that Assam rode could not fit in.

Assam jumped off the wolf's back and let Winter wait outside.

Afterward, he followed and entered this passage.

After Cao Xing jumped down, a semi-collapsed passage appeared before his eyes again.

Along this passage, he moved forward for about five or six meters.

He entered a narrow space.

This place looked like a secret chamber, or rather, a tomb chamber, with a dozen figures standing inside.

Wei Jianyi and the others were already waiting there.

However, this secret chamber looked like it had nothing in it.

There were a few empty sword cases on the side.

Those weapons looked like they had already been taken by Wei Jianyi.

Wei Jianyi said: "This is just the entrance area of the tomb chamber."

"There are more and larger stone chambers inside, follow me."

After speaking, he lowered his body and crawled into the small door next to it, which was less than a meter high.

Seeing this scene, the expressions of the group were a bit strange.

This small door looked like a dog hole, but Wei Jianyi looked like he was familiar with it, as if he had crawled through it many times.

However, the group had been everywhere on this journey, so crawling through dog holes was something they were almost accustomed to.

Bai Zhi was the first to lower her body and crawled in second.

Then it was Cheng Lu and his subordinates.

Cao Xing still walked at the very back, bringing Sarah and the others in.

However, when Braum entered this low door, he encountered a little trouble.

His physique was too sturdy, and his shoulders got stuck on both sides, making it impossible to enter.

Although with their strength, they could directly smash the stone door to enlarge it.

But they were worried that violent attacks might trigger some mechanism, leading to bad consequences.

In the end, they had to pull and drag him, and amidst Braum's pig-slaughtering screams, they pulled him in.

After Braum came in, he rubbed his shoulders and looked at Assam with a pained expression.

At the same time, another secret chamber appeared in front of everyone.

Compared to the outer tomb chamber, the space inside was larger, but the environment was still a bit dim.

And just shortly after they all entered. "!" A flash of cold light appeared!

Four or five figures appeared abruptly and rushed toward them at high speed!

Cao Xing locked onto the appearance of these figures in just an instant.

These people were expressionless, wearing a kind of ancient light armor, and holding a long sword.

Encountering enemies suddenly in such a narrow secret chamber, there was almost no way to avoid them.

Wei Jianyi quickly said: "These are Tomb Swordsmen; you must defeat these enemies to enter the next room."

Hearing this, Cheng Lu and Bai Zhi instantly prepared for battle!

They met them at the same time.

Cao Xing did not make a move. Because, although these four or five figures in front looked menacing, in the end, they were just ordinary Tier 2 creatures.

Those Commander-level Dragon Blood Warriors holding long spears went into battle directly and killed the enemies with a few strikes.

Compared to Cao Xing's Commander-level Dragon Blood Warrior—Bjorn, the commanders under them still used long spears as weapons to fight.

Looking at it this way, Bjorn was a special existence even among his own kind.

At the same time, they solved the enemies in front of them in a flash.

However, these Tomb Swordsmen did not leave behind corpses after dying, but turned into a puff of white smoke and disappeared.

After finishing off these Tomb Swordsmen, a rumbling sound appeared in the secret chamber again. "Rumble—"

Then, on the side wall, a passage more than a meter high appeared again.

Wei Jianyi said: "Let's go, we continue into the second secret chamber."

After speaking, he entered the second stone gate naturally.

Cao Xing also brought Assam and the others in.

Fortunately, this stone gate was much larger than the stone gate at the outer entrance. At least for Braum's physique, he wouldn't get stuck.

The group passed through the stone gate, then arrived at a dim passage, moved forward for about two or three meters, and arrived at a closed stone chamber again.

And as everyone entered. "Clang!" A sound of long swords vibrating rang out again.

This time, more than a dozen sword-wielding swordsmen appeared. However, their levels had increased significantly compared to the first stone chamber.

They reached level 25 directly, which was Tier 3 strength.

For everyone here, Tier 3 was no longer enough to be a threat.

They were still overwhelming, finishing off the guards here in a flash.

As the enemies were resolved. Beside the secret chamber, a stone gate appeared again.

Wei Jianyi said: "It's basically like this from here on out; enemies will appear in every stone chamber, and we can only enter the next room after defeating the enemies in the stone chamber."

Everyone nodded one after another. Then came the third room.

In this secret chamber, they encountered a few enemies again. And the level of the enemies also increased to level 30.

When the third wave of battle ended, Cao Xing asked: "Wei Jianyi, this should be the screening mechanism of this legacy, right?"

"These Tomb Swordsmen do not exist in reality; they were left behind as a test for us."

Wei Jianyi chuckled and replied: "Yes."

"The guards outside are not very strong." "When we come in next time, new Tomb Swordsmen will refresh."

"It's like a dungeon mechanism in a game."

"However, you only get some rewards the first time you clear it; for example, those Wandering Swordsman scrolls of mine were dropped here."

"There are ten stone chambers in total here, but I have already conquered them all."

"This Commander-level swordswoman beside me—Lan, was also a reward given for conquering the last stone chamber."

Everyone turned their gaze to the woman wearing a hat beside Wei Jianyi.

Faced with everyone's gaze, this stoic female swordswoman nodded slightly.

Everyone sighed in their hearts.

This Sword Saint legacy is indeed a rare land of opportunity. It can be said that whoever encounters it in the early stages can obtain quite a few benefits, thereby achieving a leap in strength!
