Chapter 260: Flowing Cloud Sword Technique

A group of people rushed into the palace, wanting to obtain the heirloom as soon as possible.

The palace had given off a strange and enigmatic vibe. It did not look particularly big, and at first glance, it was certainly not large enough to accommodate all the visitors.

However, the moment people stepped in, they would feel as if they had walked into a veil of light, as everyone’s figures would start to blur.

Everyone was shocked by what was happening around them. They could not wrap their minds around what was transpiring.

Lin Mo and his group were surprised as well. The closer they got to the palace, the larger it felt. By the time they had reached the palace, it looked as massive as a palace made for the gods.

“It’s not that the palace has become bigger, it’s that we have become smaller.”

Bai Luo muttered to herself. She looked behind her and realized that the mountains and trees were abnormally large.

It was as if they had entered a miniature world, and the outside world was like a vast and endless universe.

“This is one of the properties of the Dao principles of space. The owner of this ruin is much stronger than we thought.” Someone cried out in surprise upon discovering the abnormality.

There were many treasures planted in the palace, and among them, there were many spirit-grade spirit herbs. In addition, there were also spirit pills, weapons, and so on.

“That’s Flowing Jade Light Grass, a spirit-grade tier 1 spirit herb!” Yan Rong spotted an item in the distance and pointed it out.

...

Multicolored light radiated out from the spot that Yan Rong had mentioned. It was a small pond with many spirit herbs in its surroundings, and it was imbued with dense spiritual energy.

“The water in this pond is rather unique too.” Lin Mo praised, walking forward to observe the pond more closely.

Very quickly, an intense battle erupted within the palace, as the appearance of the rare treasures had caused many to fight over them.

The situation felt surreal to Lin Mo. After all, there were a myriad of treasures within the palace, too many for him to count.

Spotting a tier 9 resource in the wild was already a rare enough occurrence, but within the palace, spirit-grade treasures stretched out to as far as the eye can see.

Sounds of intense fighting constantly rang out within the palace. Many limbs and bloodied appendages could be seen scattered about. It was like a slaughterhouse.

A huge battle was taking place, and Lin Mo’s party had joined in as well.

Nevertheless, Lin Mo and his group had skirted around the areas where the fighting was most intense. Instead, he and his group were collecting herbs found in the palace’s perimeters.

After all, even the spirit herbs that were scattered about were of spirit-grade. They would prove highly beneficial to him, especially after he upgraded them via the rebate system.

However, that was not to say that he had avoided conflict completely. Many a times, they had come into contact with other groups, and as a result, clashes had taken place.

Gradually, everyone’s eyes had turned red from killing, and the palace’s floor was littered with corpses. Several combatants had even resorted to self-destructing just to bring down their opponents.

A loud hum could be heard as the Dao principles of space were audibly activated. The palace had been sealed, leaving everyone stuck within it in a state of shock.

Not only that, the powerhouses present could feel a dampener being placed onto their power. They had found it difficult to unleash much of their massive reserves of spiritual energy.

Much to everyone’s dismay, there was a seal protecting the palace.

“The owner of this place might have set up the seal to prevent rampant destruction taking place.”

Lin Mo was left in awe. Just how strong was the owner of the ruins? He had died eons ago, and yet, the effects of his seal were still going strong.

With the restriction in mind, everyone within the palace began to act more carefully. Lin Mo and his party had also erred on the side of caution as they picked up herbs around the palace perimeter.

Meanwhile, Yuan Cang and the rest of the Primordial Sun Holy Land followers were situated at the outermost perimeter of the palace, far removed from any combat.

Several elders were guarding him. The strongest elder present was of tier 27 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, making him a powerful foe to be reckoned with.

“It’s going to be hard to kill him.” Lin Mo frowned. Yuan Cang was well protected, and thus, reaching him would be a tall task.

“Hurry up! I’m sure there are spirit-grade techniques here. We mustn’t miss them!” A strange movement came from the other side, and people could be heard fighting over something.

Upon turning to look at the source of the commotion, Lin Mo spotted a person holding onto a scripture book wreathed in a mystical aura.

The words, Flowing Cloud Sword Technique were written in bold letters on the book’s cover.

This was a manual for a sword technique, but there was also a good chance that it taught cultivation techniques as well. Regardless, it was a highly precious resource.

Someone was currently cradling it within his arms. Although it should have been his by right, many had gone after the man, wanting the book for themselves.

“Bam!”

Lin Mo had joined the pursuit as well. He exchanged several palm strikes with the others, causing chaos to erupt in the spot.

The eyes of all the experts were bloodshot. Countless runes floated in the air, giving a dangerous vibe to the area.

“Kong Lei?”

Lin Mo was stunned. He spotted a familiar person within the group of pursuers. It was Kong Lei of the Peacock Spirit clan.

Kong Lei had also improved greatly since their last encounter. He was currently at tier 25 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, much more powerful than when they had last met.

However, he was caught in a precarious situation. He was surrounded by enemies, and he was constantly being attacked.

Lin Mo’s appearance had only made his situation from bad to worse.

Using Absolute Snow Sword, Lin Mo slashed down and sliced off one of Kong Lei’s arms.

Although he had managed to snatch it back and use spirit herbs to reattach it, the arm had been rendered useless momentarily.

There were more than thirty individuals going after the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique, and each of them was a major powerhouse. Lin Mo was actually the weakest among them.

However, no one dared to look down on him. After all, he was a genius that had the potential to shake up the world.

Lin Mo did not waste his time with the other pursuers. He activated Traceless Wind, spouted flaming wings off his back, and shot ahead.

Very quickly, Lin Mo caught up with the man at the front.

The man made a split-second decision upon spotting that Lin Mo was closing up to him. He decisively tossed aside the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique’s manual.

“Damn it.”

Lin Mo was shocked. The man had thought out his decision well.

There was a member of the royal family in the direction where the manual had been tossed towards. The royal family member was also fighting against other cultivators.

“I, Liu Qing, was born in a military camp and am a soldier of the Yanhuang Divine Empire! You dare come at me? Do you have a death wish?”

He made no attempt to mask his threat.

Many influential individuals stopped dead in their tracks upon learning this fact. They dared not provoke Liu Qing. Nevertheless, there were still desperate individuals who ran at him.

Unfortunately for them, they were no match for Liu Qing. With a shove of his hand, he pushed all of the remaining attackers back and picked up a spirit-grade herb from the ground.

The next moment, the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique manual plopped into Liu Qing’s hands.

He casually flipped through the book and was immediately overjoyed by what he had read.

Upon spotting Lin Mo and the other pursuers of the item. He immediately declared, “This manual now belongs to the royal family. Cease your operations and back off!”

Despite his warning, many within the group still charged at him.

Naturally, Lin Mo was also part of the group. Lin Mo was certain that it was a spirit-grade technique, and thus, he refused to let it go.

Even if his opponent was not Liu Qing, but Elder Mo instead, Lin Mo would still not hesitate.

“Lin Mo, you dare offend the royal family?” Liu Qing forced the crowd back. However, upon spotting Lin Mo, he jumped in fright.

Realizing that his first warning was ineffective against Lin Mo, he then ramped up his threat.

“This technique is not something that you can possess. If you really do snatch it away, it will bring trouble to the eighth prince. Aren’t you not worried that it would cause trouble to her?” Liu Qing threatened.

In the next moment, Lin Mo arrived in front of him. He did not make any killing moves. Instead, he threw a punch which clashed with Liu Qing’s palm.

The powerful impact forced Liu Qing to retreat, and as a result, the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique’s manual had slipped out of his hand.

Lin Mo grabbed the manual and grinned at Liu Qing.

“Who do you think you are? How could a person of your status ever cause problems to the eighth prince?” Lin Mo remarked before promptly leaving the area.

If Liu Qing had gone after him, Lin Mo would not mind teaching him a lesson.

“B*stard.”

Liu Qing cursed angrily and wanted to make a move. However, once he saw Lin Mo’s Absolute Snow Sword, Liu Qing instantly canceled the thought.

The surrounding onlookers grinned at the sight of this.

Liu Qing was parading around with his royal family status earlier to deter them, and yet, it was completely ineffective against Lin Mo. To the onlookers, it felt like Liu Qing had received his just desserts…
