Sword God Sect.
At the Sect Leader's Main Hall.
Sect Leader Zhao Wujie stood by the window, gazing out into the sky, his face extremely gloomy.
Over the past month, the ten major powers of the Ancient Moon Dynasty had been challenged by a pair of young male and female Origin Sea Realm cultivators. They challenged all Origin Sea Realm disciples of each sect. If they won, they would take all the resources from each sect's Treasure Pavilion. If they lost, they would offer their own heads and hands.
The first to face the challenge was the seventh-ranked Blood Robe Sect. The entire Blood Robe Sect had two hundred Origin Sea Realm disciples. Everyone assumed that with the Blood Robe Sect's numerous disciples, victory would be easy. However, this young pair proved shockingly powerful. Although initially suppressed, they both broke through later, turning defeat into victory. All participating Blood Robe Sect disciples were heavily injured in this battle. This infuriated the Sect Master of the Blood Robe Sect! A dozen Shapers made their move, trying to kill the young duo. Unexpectedly, this young pair had hidden their cultivation base. Once they revealed their true power, they were revealed to be grand cultivators of the Shaping God Realm! Therefore, in this battle, all Shapers of the Blood Robe Sect were wiped out. This shocked the entire Ancient Moon Dynasty.
The second to be challenged was the Sunset Sword Sect. Taking a lesson from the Blood Robe Sect, the Sunset Sword Sect dared not send out Shapers. Instead, they deployed all their Origin Sea Realm disciples to fight the pair. They too were defeated. In the end, they had no choice but to surrender all the resources in their Treasure Pavilion. This young pair, however, abided by the rules and did not go on a killing spree within the Sunset Sword Sect.
After that, the Poison Sect, Wuji God Sword Sect, Diamond Fist Sect, and Golden Roc Sect faced the same challenge. Without exception, all Origin Sea Realm disciples from these powerful sects were defeated.
They intend to challenge all ten major powers of the Ancient Moon Dynasty one by one! Zhao Wujie muttered to himself, his mood indescribably agitated.
The top three powers were the Sword God Sect, the Three Wonders Sect, and the Golden Roc Sect. The Sword God Sect was the most powerful; even if the Three Wonders Sect and Golden Roc Sect combined forces, they wouldn't match the Sword God Sect. However, Zhao Wujie still felt uneasy. Their Sword God Sect had numerous Disciples of Heaven's Pride in the Origin Sea Realm, totaling over three hundred. If they deployed the Seven-Star Sword Array, these three hundred disciples could unleash astonishing combat power.
"Wujie…" An old voice suddenly resounded in the main hall. A white figure appeared abruptly.
Zhao Wujie looked up, and joy immediately surfaced on his face. "Master, you've come out of seclusion."
The elderly man before him was Zhao Wujie's respected teacher. He was the Sword God Sect's previous Sword Saint. And he, Zhao Wujie, was the current Sword Saint. The old and new Sword Saints hadn't seen each other for a hundred years, and their reunion was filled with emotion.
"I have!" laughed the white-robed elder, who carried a treasured sword and had an air of immortal-like grace. At this moment, his Super Divine Dragon Breath radiated a Divine Bridge Realm cultivation base.
Zhao Wujie was overjoyed. His master, after a hundred years of seclusion, had broken through to become a Divine Bridge Realm expert! This was truly a blessing for the Sword God Sect.
"Wujie, what troubles you?" the old Sword Saint asked, looking at his beloved disciple with a smile.
As the top power in the Ancient Moon Dynasty, the Sword God Sect was even stronger than the second and third-ranked sects combined. Logically, sitting in the position of Sword God Sect's Leader, one shouldn't be so troubled. Unless a major external power had intervened. However, the Sword God Sect also had backing; they were supported by a large sect.
Zhao Wujie picked up several secret reports from the table and handed them to the old Sword Saint. After reading them, the old Sword Saint's expression turned grim. With a flick of his fingers, the secret reports instantly turned to ash!
"Outrageous! They're bullying our Ancient Moon Dynasty as if there's no one here to stop them!" The old Sword Saint was livid.
"Master, what do you think we should do?" Zhao Wujie asked.
"My Sword God Sect is filled with geniuses. Why should we fear these two Wild cultivators of unknown origin?" The old Sword Saint scoffed, a cold light flashing in his eyes as he spoke frigidly. "Let my Sword God Sect's disciples face them first! If our disciples win, we will naturally dismember those two! If they lose, then I, the Saint, will personally take action and slay them within our Sword God Sect. This will also serve as vengeance for the other major sects."
"Thank you, Master!" Zhao Wujie was instantly overjoyed, the pressure in his heart vanishing.
Those two youths, even with their seals removed, are only Shaping God Realm cultivators. They couldn't possibly compare to his master, a Divine Bridge Realm expert. A century ago, his master was already invincible among cultivators of the same realm. He even once single-handedly fought ten Shaping God Realm experts of the same rank, defeating them all with a single move. This showed just how formidable the Ancient Moon Dynasty's number one Sword Saint was back then. Since then, his master had retired from worldly affairs, focusing solely on breaking through to the Divine Bridge Realm. A century later, he had achieved his goal.
…
Outside the Sword God Sect's gates, a black carriage slowly approached. Luo Li and Jun Moxiao were seated at the front of the carriage. After a month of intense battles, their entire demeanor had completely transformed. They sat tall, their eyes bright, as if containing boundless, sharp Sword Intent. With every move, they emanated a powerful Super Divine Dragon Breath.
"Luo Li, the Sword God Sect's gates are just ahead. How about it? Are you two confident about fighting that old Sword Saint?" Ye Yun's laughter echoed from within the carriage.
"Ancestor, we are naturally confident!" Luo Li replied with a smile, her eyes shining with strong confidence.
Her cultivation base had now reached the Tenth Layer of the Origin Sea Realm. Jun Moxiao was the same. Because Ye Yun had continuously sealed Jun Moxiao's cultivation base, Jun Moxiao hadn't advanced further after reaching the Tenth Layer Peak of the Origin Sea Realm. Now, their cultivation bases were on par.
But if their seals were lifted, Luo Li would be at the Molding God Realm Tenth Layer. And Jun Moxiao would reach the Half-Step Divine Bridge realm.
These were the results of a month of Ye Yun's special training. They had challenged the top ten powers, starting from the Blood Robe Sect and proceeding according to rank. The opponents they faced grew progressively stronger. Luo Li and Jun Moxiao had not disappointed him, both achieving their current cultivation levels.
Ye Yun glanced towards the Sword God Sect. His eyes twinkled, and a faint smile touched the corners of his lips. He could see that the old Sword Saint had come out of seclusion and was now a Divine Bridge Realm expert. Ye Yun nodded inwardly. This old Sword Saint indeed has some attainment in the Sword Dao. He's worthy of being the one who dominated a small place like the Ancient Moon Dynasty a century ago.
Ye Yun retracted his gaze. He tapped lightly on the carriage.
The black carriage suddenly accelerated, arriving before the Sword God Sect's gates in the blink of an eye. Before the two disciples guarding the gate could react—
The carriage sped through, coming to a halt on the grand plaza before the Sword God Sect's main hall.
"Who goes there?!" The two Sword God Sect disciples were greatly alarmed. They had only seen a black streak flash past their eyes. One disciple looked back and was stunned to see a black carriage parked on the distant plaza. Recalling a certain rumor, their faces turned deathly pale.
