Chapter 116: Chapter 115: Sword Cliff (1/5)
Translator: 549690339
The lush mountain forest was filled with towering trees that stretched high into the sky, blocking out the heavens above.
Two figures moved through the woods like lightning, weaving between the trees.
Swish!
The two figures suddenly stopped. One of them, a youth with a handsome, jade-like face, held a beastskin map. With a flick of his finger, he sent a bit of spirit light onto the map.
The map on the beastskin transformed from a flat, two-dimensional image into a three-dimensional hologram.
“We’re currently here, according to the distance, it will take only the time it takes to burn a stick of incense to reach the Seven Cang Tribes,” said one of the figures.
“Not long ago, many newcomers besieged the Seven Cang Tribes, but they didn’t expect that the Clan Leader of the Seven Cang Tribes would make a breakthrough, causing the siege to fail. Soon, even more newcomers, as well as more legendary qi cultivators and peak qi cultivating cultivators, will arrive.”
“The Taixu Order is still floating within the Taixu Light Pillar. It’s only after killing the strongest of the Cang Clan that the Taixu Light Pillar is broken, and the Taixu Order shatters into fragments that scatter all around.”
“If we arrive too late, and the Clan Leader of the Seven Cang Tribes is killed, the fragments of the Taixu Order will definitely be snatched up.”
“Let’s go.”
The two figures set off again. After the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, they traversed a dense forest and found themselves in front of a vast mountainous terrain, flat and without towering trees, but with many uneven stone houses of various sizes built against a towering and cloud-piercing mountain wall.
These were the stone houses that Han Yi had seen when he first arrived, those of the Black Demon Clan.
“We’re here, and it’s a good thing we made it in time. The encirclement hasn’t begun yet,” said Zuo Lie, looking pleased.
“We’ll wait here until the time is right.”
Zuo Lie did not seem to mind, and sat cross-legged at the edge of the forest, facing the Seven Cang Tribes.
“Last time when we besieged the Seven Cang Tribes, four legendary Qi Cultivating Cultivators took action. Unfortunately, their luck was bad as they ran into the Black Demon of the Seven Cang Tribes who had just made a breakthrough. Two of them died on the spot, while a large number of other peak Qi Cultivating Cultivators, who died in even greater numbers, were able to escape with less than a third of their original numbers.”
“It was only then that word spread.”
“This time, at least a dozen legendary qi cultivators are coming, according to what I’ve heard. Even if that Black Demon is really powerful, it’s going to die.”
Han Yi sat down next to Zuo Lie, two meters apart, and his heart stirred when he heard Zuo Lie’s words.
“Daoist Zuo, last time I arrived, it was when many friends were besieging the Black Demon Clan. There were indeed four legendary Qi Cultivating Cultivators at that time. Do you know them?”
Han Yi’s original intention was to get acquainted with those legendary Qi Cultivating Cultivators.
However, Zuo Lie turned his head and asked puzzledly, “You arrived directly at the Black Demon Clan last time?”
“Yes, it was my first time descending, is there a problem?”
Zuo Lie frowned, “You descended directly into the demon clan’s territory on your first visit?”
“No wonder Daoist Han is not familiar with the Cave Heaven world. I see.”
“You’re really unlucky.”
Thanks to Zuo Lie’s explanation, Han Yi suddenly realized just how unlucky he was.
Usually, newcomers would descend into the human tribes, and the shaman responsible for sensing the first-timers’ aura would arrive to explain everything about the Cave Heaven world.
This was also why Fu Xuanxu had said that once they entered the Cave Heaven world, there would naturally be someone to inform them about everything.
Among the things the shaman would inform about were the Taixu Order, Taixu Light Pillars, exchanging, maps, descending, and so on.
However, what Fu Xuanxu didn’t expect was.
The place Han Yi first descended was in the Black Demon Clan, so naturally there were no shamans, and during his second descent, although it was normal, he descended to the Chi Mang Tribe. But his Taixu body already had the aura of the Cave Heaven world, so the shamans of the Chi Mang Tribe naturally didn’t treat him as a first-time descender.
By sheer coincidence, Han Yi was completely unaware.
Fortunately, he met Zuo Lie who had just descended, so he learned about it; otherwise, he would have been kept in the dark and wouldn’t know how many misunderstandings would have arisen.
Han Yi shook his head and smiled wryly.
“Blessings and misfortunes go hand in hand. Although I descended to the Black Demon Clan’s territory last time, I also participated in that terrifying battle and didn’t gain nothing.”
“Elder brother Zuo, the last time I saw a Sword Immortal who wielded two Spirit Swords, and there was also a cultivator who could sit in the void with nine battle flags in front of him, a cultivator with a golden halberd in his hand, and a cultivator with a bloody longsword in his hand, I think they are legendary Qi cultivators.”
“Do you recognize these people?”
A trace of unnoticeable fighting intent appeared on Han Yi’s face, but he immediately shook his head.
If he had the Shadow Bearing Sword in his hand and the Wind Demon Dagger by his side, and the opportunity was suitable, he would make a move to test his own strength now.
But now, he only had one medium-grade Sword Tool and one low-grade Sword Tool, his strength could be said to be halved. Naturally, there was not the slightest chance of winning against the legendary Qi cultivators, so why bother to make himself unhappy.
“Daoist Han is not a cultivator from Qianzhou, so naturally, he doesn’t know much about them.”
“Sword Immortal Yang Yu is not from Daqian Immortal Country. Daoist friend should have guessed that he comes from Sword Cliff.”
Speaking of Sword Cliff, Zuo Lie’s face was serious.
Han Yi’s face was solemn as well.
There’s a saying in the Cultivation World: All Sword Immortals in the world come from Sword Cliff. The meaning is simple – most of the Sword Immortals in the entire Cultivation World come from Sword Cliff.
Sword Cliff is not a cliff, but a sect: a sect with a top-notch worldwide power and a Spirit Transformation stage Sword Immortal, whose strength is stronger than an ordinary sacred place.
Its location is not in Daqian, nor in Daqin, nor in the newly born Immortal Country Dayong, but in the Extreme North.
Before this, Han Yi had suspected that Chu Jinmo, who had left the sect, had gone to Sword Cliff.
“As for the other cultivator, the one who sits in the void with nine colored battle flags in front of him, he is a cultivator from the Spirit Combat Sect named Xie Jingshan. That set of nine colored battle flags is a top-grade magic tool. What’s more terrifying is that each of the battle flags, when taken out separately, is also a top-grade magic tool.”
Spirit Combat Sect is also a sect with Nascent Soul stage cultivators in its ranks, just second to the Three Great Sects of Daqian.
Seven sects have Nascent Soul stage cultivators sitting in the ranks under the three great sects of Daqian, but they are far behind the three great sects.
Among them, there are five sects in Qianzhou. Spirit Combat Sect and White Jade Tower are the two. There are two in Shu State, Heavenly Will Sect is one of them.
“As for the other two, I guess one is the eldest grandson of Duke An of Daqian, An Jing, and the other is Fu You of Southern Dipper God Combat Palace.”
Han Yi understood in his heart that the cultivator wielding the halberd should be Daqian Duke An’s eldest grandson, An Jing, and the one holding the bloody longsword should be Fu You from the Southern Dipper God Combat Palace. As for that bloody longsword, it’s very likely to be one of the top-grade fire-type magic tools from the Southern Dipper God Combat Palace.
“Sword Cliff, Spirit Combat Sect, Duke An of Daqian, Southern Dipper God Combat Palace.”
“These are all great forces.”
Han Yi’s fighting spirit quietly climbed in his heart. This trip had at least broadened his horizons.
He suddenly remembered that a month ago, when he met Sect Master Yuan Shun on Azure Dragon Peak, Yuan Shun said that Han Yi’s strength was mediocre, so it would be good for him to go out and get a glimpse of the legendary Qi cultivators in the world.
It seems that this was Yuan Shun’s intention. Yuan Shun also felt that with Han Yi’s cultivation base at the eighth level of Qi Cultivating Cultivator, entering the Cave Heaven world to compete for the Taixu Order was too forced. However, entering the Cave Heaven world for a trip would at least allow him to see and understand the many legendary Qi cultivators in the world and broaden his horizons in advance.
Han Yi took out the medium-grade Sword Tool, a long sword with a faint silver light on its blade. Two words were branded on the sword body: Seven Stars.
Medium-grade Sword Tool, Seven Stars Sword..
