Eternal Sword Monarch

The soil quickly slid off the mound with a rustling sound, revealing the unique metallic luster underneath. However, Xia Ling's face revealed a rare look of surprise, because this piece of Net Alloy was too big!    

    

As mentioned before, among the Net Alloy that Xia Ling had seen before, other than some small items, the biggest one was a piece of chest armour that was treasured by an aristocratic family. It was roughly half the size of a tabletop, and was indeed a rare sight.    

    

And right now, the Net Alloy in front of him was like a wall!    

    

It was over ten feet tall and three feet wide!    

    

Xia Ling's breath seemed to stop. He stared at the Net Alloy and estimated its size … He had lived for more than ten years and had never seen a Net Alloy of this size!    

    

Wait!    

    

Xia Ling's eyes flashed. This piece of Net Alloy was not made of a single piece of metal. On its surface, there was a small crack running down its length, as if it were a crack in the door.    

    

Xia Ling finally realized, this Net Alloy was not a wall, it was a door!    

    

Once again, this conclusion caused him to open his mouth slightly in shock. This was a complete waste of the treasure!    

    

However, Xia Ling didn't have the time to think too much into it at the moment. Cao Ba's towering aura seemed to be right behind him. If he stayed here for too long, the next battle might be inevitable.    

    

He stretched out his hand, wanting to push open the door made of Net Alloy s. In reality, Xia Ling did not have much hope. However, with his back against the Net Alloy, he could reduce the pressure on his back and avoid Cao Ba's attacks.    

    

In this way, Xia Ling could display the power of his Primordial Spirit weapon "Heaven Slaughter Star Sword" in front of him. Xia Ling would try his best to deal with the enemy under the premise of using all of his strength!    

    

However, what Xia Ling did not expect was that the moment his palm made contact with the Net Alloy, a shining blue formation instantly appeared on the smooth metal surface of the Net Alloy.    

    

This formation diagram was small and exquisite, as though it floated on the surface of a Net Alloy, and even slightly rotated. The pattern of the loop was mysterious and complicated. With just a glance, it was as if one's entire spirit was being sucked in!    

    

However, Xia Ling didn't reveal any other emotions and just became serious. This was because he recognized this formation, and could even be said to be very familiar with it!    

    

This was the high-level verification array of Grand Dominance City's guild!    

    

Back then, Grand Dominance Guild's attainments in formations was outstanding, not even inferior to their Super Sect. Many large aristocratic families and sects often invited the Grand Dominance Sect to design array diagrams in their sects' forbidden areas.    

    

This type of formation was ever-changing. Once it changed a tiny loop, even the original designer would have a hard time breaking through its defense. So, the safety was extremely high. It was very popular among aristocratic families and sects.    

    

Aside from Super Sect, which often allowed one to use their own sect's formation diagram, they would usually seek help from the Grand Dominance Sect.    

    

The Diagram Array in front of him was exactly like this.    

    

However, this formation that seemed to be safe still had a way to break through. The Grand Dominance Guild was not a charity. They had set up many array diagrams for the Aristocratic Sect. Aside from making money, they had also left a small back door.    

    

Of course, if the news of leaving a back door were to be leaked out, it would definitely arouse great displeasure in the world. Therefore, the usage of the backdoor was only passed down in the upper echelons of the Grand Dominance City. Everyone was guaranteed to be reliable.    

    

Coincidentally, Xia Ling found out about the method to open it from his fiancee, Lu Mengling.    

    

Of course, during their lovers' interactions, they didn't deliberately discuss the profound array formation, but only chatted. Lu Mengling unintentionally revealed some ideas for opening the gate, which were just ideas.    

    

For normal cultivators, even if they had immersed themselves in formations for many years, they wouldn't be able to open a mature formation with just a single line of thought.    

    

But Xia Ling could.    

    

Opening the array, was after all just the use of the Genuine Qi. In terms of formations, Xia Ling did not dare to claim to have any achievements. However, in terms of using Genuine Qi, he believed that the strongest person in the world could only be himself.    

    

Xia Ling only needed a single thought to be able to open this verification array by relying on his skillful Genuine Qi!    

    

Xia Ling did not have time to think too much about it. Almost at the same time, the Sword One Tao Spirit Chapter activated. From Xia Ling's Dantian to his fingertips, and then into the fluorescent blue array diagram.    

    

Xia Ling's progress was surprisingly fast. The sword qi of the Sword One Tao Spirit Chapter, in such a small array, was advancing forward unstoppably! According to Lu Mengling's information, it was as if he had finished breaking the array in an instant!    

    

Using the Sword One Tao Spirit Chapter's method that had been purified by the Cloud Crystal to forcefully break open the array was simply too much of a bully.    

    

The blue light flashed again and the patterns on the array slowly rotated. This was the sign of passing the test. The next second, Xia Ling pushed open the door that was entirely made of alloy and his whole body was thrown inside!    

    

After that, there was a slight sound of the door closing. The dark red sky was sealed off from the outside of the gate and was instantly silent.    

    

Net Alloy s had a terrifying aura isolation effect, and through this door, Xia Ling couldn't even feel Cao Ba's vast and mighty aura suppression.    

    

However, he was very clear that the Net Alloy s were too eye-catching. If he had been covered by the mound, he would not have been discovered. Now, it could be said that he had made a name for himself.    

    

As long as Cao Ba wasn't blind, he could see the metal door.    

    

However, Xia Ling wasn't worried right now.    

    

He had already roughly taken a look just now, and the thickness of this Net Alloy's door was close to five inches! This was truly a staggering thickness!    

    

Even if it was a normal hard metal, at this thickness, it would basically be able to resist an ordinary cultivator's attack. And for Net Alloy to reach such a state …    

    

It was likely that even cultivators with Essencial Core Rank would not be able to break it!    

    

Xia Ling should be able to relax within a short period of time.    

    

Then he turned and began to fill the world of darkness.    

    

With the entrance of the Net Alloy blocking out the sunlight, there was almost no sunlight here at all. He couldn't even see his fingers in front of him. However, judging from the flow of the air, the space here shouldn't be small, there should still be some air flow.    

    

Furthermore, this place had been sealed for at least ten thousand years, yet there was not a single trace of corruption. This meant that there should be other entrances here, at least the vents.    

    

[What is this place?]
