Chapter 51: Life-Draining Sword
Since Chen Qiaoli had already explained the rules, Liu Shunyi naturally wouldn’t make any more mistakes.
Speaking of which, this Hall of Divine Abilities was quite intelligent. Liu Shunyi casually selected a light orb, and immediately, some information about a divine ability popped up.
“Thunderfire Madness Blade, created by an immortal. With a single slash, it carries thunder and fire; when mastered, it can shatter all beneath a single cut!”
Liu Shunyi was astounded.
In his mind’s eye, he pictured a long blade blotting out the sky, slashing through a star.
The sheer might of that single stroke was terrifying.
He continued to look.
One had to admit, the Wangchuan Secret Realm was completely captivating.
And the divine abilities inside? Each one was damned tempting.
But unfortunately, he could only choose one.
At this moment, Chen Qiaoli reminded him again, “Make sure to choose one that suits you because once selected, there’s still a test. Only by passing the test can you obtain the divine ability; fail the test, well, I don’t need to elaborate!”
“So, definitely choose wisely!”
Liu Shunyi nodded. “Thanks for the heads-up, Senior Sister! I understand!”
Despite saying this, he didn’t really care about the test.
He was certain he would pass it.
However, Chen Qiaoli wasn’t wrong about one thing; he still needed to choose an ability that fit him.
He didn’t want to be dazzled by all the options available.
So, he decided not to look at anything else and directly searched for abilities that consumed lifespan, depleted origin energy, or burned blood essence.
Liu Shunyi wasn’t sure how long he searched, but he finally found a sword technique.
Weeping Sword!
“Weeping Sword: Upon drawing the blade, all things will lament. This technique was derived from my master’s sword art, but it’s far too domineering. Remember, do not use this technique unless absolutely necessary.”
“Each slash will cost you lifespan, even depleting your origin energy. But the power it wields is tremendous, hence I named it Weeping Sword—one draw signifies the end of all things, including your own end!”
It concluded with, “Sigh, it’s unfortunate my talent is limited, and I couldn’t find a solution to the pitfalls of this sword. I hope future practitioners wielding this sword will use it with caution.”
Signed: Zhang Wuyi!
Liu Shunyi’s eyes sparkled. “You’re the one!”
Having made up his mind, Liu Shunyi swiftly reached out.
“Weng~”
Radiance flowed as his consciousness blurred.
When Liu Shunyi regained his clarity, he found himself holding a sword, surrounded by hideous enemies.
These people, though human, resembled demons—hunting and feasting on flesh.
“What the heck is this?”
Liu Shunyi scratched his head.
“Boom~”
Another thunderous sound echoed from the sky.
Liu Shunyi looked up, but the sight was foggy.
He only saw a giant shadow, which then got cleaved in two by something and began to plummet.
“No…”
A reluctant roar pierced through the heavens and earth.
The terrifying shockwave reduced everything to dust.
When the giant shadow landed, Liu Shunyi finally caught sight of a figure in the sky.
Seeing that figure, a wave of sorrow washed over him.
“Splash~”
Liu Shunyi’s consciousness returned to reality.
At that moment, a complete sword technique appeared in his mind.
Weeping Sword.
A total of twelve slashes.
Weeping Sword didn’t burn lifespan; no, it was just that the power of the technique caused significant self-harm. If all twelve slashes were unleashed at once, the side effects could cause a person’s body to collapse instantaneously.
Thus, this was dubbed the Life-Draining Sword.
But Liu Shunyi suddenly felt that this sword technique was a perfect fit for him.
Because if someone else learned this technique, they might treat it as a trump card. However, for Liu Shunyi, it meant he could use it every day without worry!
Furthermore, the Weeping Sword had the most absurd casting methods.
You could expend your mana, burn blood essence, or even consume mental energy, lifespan, and soul!
“Wow, this sword technique seems genuinely invincible!”
Liu Shunyi was astounded.
He even pondered what would happen if he burned everything he had at once.
Just how powerful would that sword strike be?
But soon, Liu Shunyi calmed down.
While this technique was indeed potent, the enemies he faced weren’t pushovers.
If he wanted to freely use the Weeping Sword, he realized he needed to get more people on the leaderboard.
Not to mention, he was still curious about the faint purple patterns on the brush in the Great Dao Golden Roll—what purpose did they serve?
Once he got out, he definitely had to try it out.
Then Liu Shunyi looked over at Chen Qiaoli.
At that moment, he realized Chen Qiaoli was missing.
However, she had left him a message.
“Junior Brother, I have obtained the divine ability I needed. Since I see you’re still in trial, I’ll head out first. Remember, if you understand your divine ability, crush the jade token to teleport out quickly because the Talented Disciples Conference has long since ended. You’d better hurry up!”
Little Master, there’s more to this chapter, please click the next page to continue reading; the best is yet to come!
As Liu Shunyi finished reading the words that materialized in the void using spiritual energy, the text vanished.
Without hesitation, Liu Shunyi crushed the token, teleporting out in an instant.

“Boom~”
At this moment, outside the Wangchuan Secret Realm.
A group of Elders teamed up, using supreme divine abilities to force open the Wangchuan Secret Realm.
But when these Elders opened it and saw the scene inside, they were immediately dumbfounded.
For the current Wangchuan Secret Realm was barren, mountains and rivers disappeared, and the waters ran dry.
All that remained was a lonely Wangchuan Divine Palace.
The Elders of the various sects were left in shock.
They hastily shut the entrance of the secret realm.
“Is it possible we opened it incorrectly?”
One Elder asked.
Others nodded in agreement.
“In that case, let’s be gentle this time!”
The rest nodded.
The group then joined forces once more.
Slowly, they opened the secret realm again.
The air fell silent.
Because the secret realm was still that same secret realm.
But it was entirely different from what they had seen before.
“Who the heck did this?!”
Finally, one Elder exploded in anger.
It was obvious now that this was man-made.
But who had the audacity to ruin the Wangchuan Secret Realm like this?
At this moment, Elders from other sects began to inquire.
“Should we still let our disciples enter the Wangchuan Secret Realm?”
The Grand Elder of the Illusory Moon Palace sighed.
“Well, regardless, the Wangchuan Divine Palace is still there, and that is the real treasure. Let’s proceed as usual!”
But then, a chill swept over the Grand Elder’s face.
“The Wangchuan Secret Realm has been jointly guarded by our several sects. We can’t rule out the possibility of it being one of our own. If it’s not our own…”
At this point, the Grand Elder cast a glance at the barren secret realm.
“Digging up and unearthing graves—such dirty and disgraceful methods—are quite reminiscent of the Heavenly God Sect!”
The anger of the crowd ignited instantly.
