CHAPTER 233: CHAPTER 233: ANCIENT DIVINE WEAPON, TAKING NALORIN·SYLVIA AS A DISCIPLE

Buzz!

A ripple of spatial power spread out.Nalorin·Sylvia’s figure vanished, entering the Sword Tomb.

Now that she had changed her class to Sword Immortal, she got another chance to enter the Sword Tomb.Whether she’d get to enter again in the future would depend on her luck.

Johnnie wasn’t in a hurry to leave either, and waited quietly.

He had already changed his class to Sword Immortal and reached stage 6, but unfortunately, he hadn’t gained any powerful new skills.

Nalorin·Sylvia had already promised him that she would enter the Land of Confusion to search for the Dragon Pulse.Besides, he was also curious about what kind of weapon this woman would get.

A dozen minutes later, Nalorin·Sylvia appeared again.

This time, she held a gorgeous longsword in her hand, its blade studded with star-like glimmers.

Nalorin·Sylvia stroked the sword lovingly, unable to hide the joy in her eyes.

Johnnie asked curiously, "What weapon did you get?"

"Stellar Sword," she replied, then brought up the sword’s attributes for him to see.

[Stellar Sword: Ancient Divine Weapon; Bound to owner. All four basic stats +100,000; Comprehension of the Way of the Sword +10; Sword skill damage +10%; Critical hit +50; Lifesteal +10%; comes with Domain: Starry Sky Sword Domain.]

[Starry Sky Sword Domain: Summons the power of the stars and gathers a mighty Sword Domain...]

An ancient divine weapon— and a complete one at that!

It even came with a Sword Domain skill!Who knew the Secret Realm of the Sword Tomb still had such a treasure?

Johnnie couldn’t help but swallow hard.He felt a little jealous—this woman’s luck was insane.He’d entered the Secret Realm of the Sword Tomb twice and the sword had never acknowledged him.

Nalorin·Sylvia quickly closed the attribute panel and hugged the sword tightly.She eyed Johnnie warily."Johnnie, this is my weapon.Don’t even think about taking it."

Honestly, Johnnie did feel the urge to snatch it.But since the sword was already bound to her, he couldn’t get it even if he tried.

Nalorin·Sylvia continued, "Johnnie, I’m now a disciple of the Sword Immortal Sect. You’re the sect master—don’t you have any perks for me?"

She looked at Johnnie with anticipation written all over her face.

"Nope," Johnnie replied grumpily. "You already got an ancient divine weapon, what more do you want?"

Then, his tone softened and he added, "But, if you take me as your master, I could teach you a few skills."

Nalorin·Sylvia was strong, and she was also the Saintly Lady of the Nalorin Family.

If he took her under his wing, his faction would get a huge power boost.

But the most important thing was that ancient divine weapon—the Stellar Sword.

Even though joining the Sword Immortal Sect meant she wouldn’t betray him, it still wasn’t a guarantee.If she became his disciple, the bond of master and apprentice would make betrayal impossible.

"Really?"

Nalorin·Sylvia’s eyes lit up. Without hesitation, she dropped to her knees and performed the apprentice’s salute."Master, please accept me as your disciple!"

[Ding, Nalorin·Sylvia wishes to take you as her master. Accept?]

A prompt appeared.There was a master-apprentice system in the game, too.

Plus, Johnnie was the sect master of the Sword Immortal Sect.

He hadn’t expected this woman to be so decisive.

"Accept." Johnnie agreed without hesitation.Having a powerful Domain disciple, he had no reason to refuse.

Buzz...A beam of light enveloped them, sealing the master-disciple ceremony.

Although it wasn’t as binding as a master-servant contract, Nalorin·Sylvia wasn’t someone who would betray easily.

"Master, where’s my apprentice gift?" She looked at Johnnie, asking with anticipation.

Johnnie was speechless. This woman clearly had ulterior motives.

He had plenty of treasures, but not many that would impress someone at the Domain level.

Wait a second—Spiritual Stones!

Spiritual Stones contained immense power, were rare and precious, and held great appeal for Domain-level beings.

A thought sprang to Johnnie’s mind. He took out over a thousand Spiritual Stones and piled them on the floor.

"Spiritual Stones? T-this many?" Nalorin·Sylvia was stunned, swallowing hard.She asked, "Master, are all of these for me?"

Spiritual Stones could directly boost spiritual power.For Divine powerhouses like them, these were incredibly valuable—maybe even more so than the Fossil of Creation.

Johnnie nodded nonchalantly. "Consider this your apprentice gift."

To him, this amount of Spiritual Stones was barely a drop in the bucket.Inside the Map of Heaven and Earth, there was a massive Spiritual Stone mine.

He already had over five million Spiritual Stones mined, and tens of millions more could be detected.Conservatively, that mine probably held hundreds of millions of Spiritual Stones.

"Thank you, Master!" Nalorin·Sylvia accepted them with joy.Originally, she’d taken Johnnie as her master just to learn his powerful Sword Domain.She hadn’t expected him to hand her over a thousand Spiritual Stones right off the bat.She felt genuinely touched—maybe this master wasn’t so bad after all.

"Master, when will you teach me some powerful skills?" she asked expectantly.

"All my skills have pretty strict requirements. You’ll need to max out the Technique of Swordsmanship for Controlling Swords first." Johnnie, of course, knew what Nalorin·Sylvia wanted.

She wanted to learn his Sword Domain, but there was no way he’d hand it over so casually.

Players could only pass on skills they’d comprehended themselves.Besides Ashen Sword Domain, the only thing he could teach was the Myriad Sword Technique.

But to learn Myriad Sword Technique, you first had to reach the Sword Spirit Realm and max out the Technique of Swordsmanship for Controlling Swords.

Nalorin·Sylvia had already reached the Sword Spirit Realm, but she’d only just picked up the Technique of Swordsmanship for Controlling Swords—it was still at level 1.

"Okay." Nalorin·Sylvia didn’t seem worried.Maxing out the Technique of Swordsmanship for Controlling Swords would take most players ages, but for her, a month at most would be plenty.

Johnnie looked her over and said, "I’m your master now, and you’re still hiding your face. Isn’t that a bit disrespectful?"

"Huh?" Nalorin·Sylvia was caught off guard, the corners of her eyes smiling.She leaned close to Johnnie, her breath fragrant even through the veil."Master, I swore an oath. If any man not related to me by blood sees my true face, he has to marry me—or I have to kill him. You’re my master, so I can’t kill you. So, do you want to marry me? I’m not really old-fashioned or anything."

Johnnie’s mouth twitched and he instinctively stepped back.

You have to marry her if you see her face—how is that not old-fashioned?

What if she turned out to be ugly?

Johnnie saw that she was really about to lift her veil and hurriedly said, "No, don’t! I was just asking. You should keep it on—don’t let the wind blow it away."

"Hmph, boring!" Nalorin·Sylvia snorted coldly, but inside she felt a bit disappointed.

Johnnie didn’t want to get tangled up with this woman, so he changed the subject: "Let’s go, we’re heading to the Land of Confusion."

He wasn’t all that interested in the Dragon Pulse. His main goal was to rescue Cecilia and the others. After that, he wanted to look for fragments of the Map of Heaven and Earth and unlock the requirements for his third class change.

The two of them directly flew on their swords and arrived at Twin Cranes City.

Nalorin·Sylvia had already reached the Sword Spirit Realm in the Way of the Sword, and after changing her class to Sword Immortal, she naturally also mastered the sword-flying skill.

"Master, can other members of my Nalorin Family change their class to Sword Immortal?" she asked with anticipation.

The Sword Immortal class was in no way weaker than their Nalorin Family’s Sword Seekers, and it also allowed entry to the Sword Tomb, where there was a chance to get powerful divine weapons.

Johnnie was a little tempted. Recruiting the Nalorin Family would definitely not be a bad move.

The Nalorin Family, besides the Saintly Lady Nalorin·Sylvia, also had seven Divine powerhouses—especially the family ancestor, who was a Core God Domain.

Johnnie didn’t agree right away. He said, "I need to know more about the Nalorin Family. As long as their character checks out, or they can swear loyalty to me, I’ll let them change to Sword Immortal."

"Don’t worry, Master. Our Nalorin Family has absolutely no issues with character, and swearing loyalty to you isn’t out of the question. Actually, our Nalorin Family is just the Immortality Cultivators from the Dragon Nation on Earth. Three thousand years ago, we came to the Universe Continent to stop a catastrophe from happening."A trace of fear flashed in Nalorin·Sylvia’s eyes. She hadn’t experienced that disaster herself, but whenever the family elders mentioned it, she still felt a chill.

So the Nalorin Family was actually a cultivation sect?

Johnnie was a little surprised. He asked curiously, "What exactly was that catastrophe three thousand years ago?"

Nalorin·Sylvia hesitated for a moment and then shook her head. "I can’t reveal that right now. But it’s the same as what you’re doing now, Master—protecting the Earth."

"Then why did you try to stop me from founding the Montemar Empire before?" Johnnie’s tone was a bit sour.

Nalorin·Sylvia looked a little awkward, then smiled and said, "Master, we hadn’t confirmed your identity back then. Our Nalorin Family always thought the Doe Family were the Chosen Ones. We only found out later that they betrayed Earth and sided with the outsiders."

"Do you know which race the Doe Family sided with?" Johnnie asked, curious. He knew the Doe Family had betrayed them, but he didn’t know which race they had joined.

Originally, he thought it was Pluto, but Pluto had already been killed by their combined forces.

As for the other strong races, none seemed directly connected to the Doe Family.

Nalorin·Sylvia hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "It’s a really terrifying race—the Celestial Race. Master, that’s all I can tell you. As for specific information, I don’t really know."

The Celestial Race?

Johnnie was puzzled. He’d never heard of this race before. It seemed even more powerful than the Demons or the Mechanical Race.

He didn’t dwell on the issue. Once his strength increased, he’d naturally learn those secrets.

The two of them arrived at the Twin Cranes City Teleportation Array and went directly to Stellar City.

"Master, do you think this Stellar City is related to my Stellar Sword?" Nalorin·Sylvia glanced around the quiet city, her curiosity piqued.

Johnnie was momentarily stunned, then replied, "It’s probably just a coincidence."

Stellar City only appeared after the fall of the Heaven-Devil Empire. It was a new city and had nothing to do with the Stellar Sword.

"Huh, this place hasn’t been taken over by any other race," Johnnie said in surprise.

Stellar City was still ruled by Grayden, and there was no sign of any other races.

It was so close to the Land of Confusion, and the Demon Race had already arrived, yet Stellar City hadn’t been occupied. That genuinely surprised him.

Nalorin·Sylvia’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said in a serious tone, "Master, this city isn’t simple. There’s a Domain aura here that’s every bit as strong as mine."

"There’s a Domain-level being here?" Johnnie was puzzled. Was it Grayden?

But he could sense that Grayden wasn’t a Divine powerhouse."Master, we’d better leave now. This aura is weird—if it attacks, we’re in real trouble." Nalorin·Sylvia seemed a bit nervous and grabbed Johnnie, hurrying him out of Stellar City.

The two of them left Stellar City and made straight for the Land of Confusion.
