Time flew by, and Su Zimo had been in the Sword Realm for a thousand years.
The Ninth Sword Peak had been perfectly integrated into the Sword Realm, forming a layout where the nine great sword peaks surrounded the 10,000 Sword Palace.
Of course, the Ninth Sword Peak's overall strength was far inferior to the eight great sword peaks, so it didn't live up to its name.
In the past thousand years, although some ordinary Mystic, Earth, and Heaven Primordial disciples had come to the Ninth Sword Peak to cultivate, none of them had stepped into the True Self Realm.
Therefore, the Ninth Sword Peak only had two Perfected Immortals.
After stepping into the True Self Realm, one's cultivation speed would drop by a lot, and it would be even more difficult to break through a small realm.
Kitsune had stepped into the True Self Realm for a thousand years, but her cultivation level still remained the same. There wasn't much improvement.
It was the same for Yun Ting of the Supreme Sword Peak.
Cultivation in the True Self Realm would be extended infinitely.
Sometimes, even some geniuses would be stuck in a realm for tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years, unable to improve!
Su Zimo's situation was a little special.
Normally speaking, he had already absorbed all the energy in the Emperor's Tomb, so his cultivation speed would slow down.
But a thousand years ago, he had merged the two great forbidden manuals and created the Sword Burial Dao.
All these years, he had been burying all the Sword Daos in the Sword Realm in his own Sword Dao, which would continuously strengthen his cultivation!
His Sword Dao was like a tomb, burying all the swords.
And because of Qinglian's body, there weren't any conflicts when burying so many Sword Daos.
More importantly, when Su Zimo wielded the Qingping Sword and had the support of the Bodhi Seed, he could achieve twice the results with half the effort when cultivating the Sword Dao!
The Qingping Sword could help Su Zimo comprehend the Sword Dao to the greatest extent.
Because Kitsune had cultivated the Wu Dao and condensed a sword-type Martial Soul, Su Zimo couldn't compare to Kitsune in terms of talent in the Sword Dao.
But in a sense, the Qingping Sword's existence had replaced the role of a sword-type Martial Soul.
Over the past thousand years, many cultivators had ascended from the lower realms and landed in the Sword World.
However, almost all of these cultivators that ascended from the lower realms were scattered on the eight great sword peaks. There were extremely few cultivators that descended on the ninth sword peak.
The main reason was that the Ninth Sword Peak lacked a peerless treasure that could gather Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and transform it into powerful Sword Qi.
For example, in the center of the Heaven Realm, there was the Divine Tree of Jianmu.
In the Nine Firmaments Immortal Realm, there were also rare plants like the Immortality Peach Tree and the Ginseng Fruit Tree.
Such peerless treasures were rarely seen in the world. Most of them had long been occupied by powerful realms.
Peerless treasures that were suitable for Sword Realm were even harder to find.
Things like the Immortality Peach Immortal Tree and the Ginseng Fruit Tree would not be of much use if they were moved into the Sword Realm. They would not be able to transform the Heaven Earth Essence Qi into sword qi.
For a thousand years, Su Zimo would try to communicate with Wu Dao's main body every once in a while.
However, there was no reaction at all.
He didn't know if Wu Dao's original body and the Void Yaksha had successfully entered the Ghost Dao or if they had encountered any dangers.
The Ghost Realm was completely different from the Infernal Court.
Due to the shattering of heaven and earth in the Infernal Court and the incomplete laws, there were no Great Emperors, and even Imperial Emperors could not be born.
Therefore, there were no living beings that could threaten Wu Dao's original body.
But the Ghost Realm was different.
In the Ghost Realm, not only were there many Imperial Emperors, there was even a Great Emperor, the Brahma Ghost Mother!
The Void Yaksha had once committed a heinous crime in the Ghost Realm and was banished to the Nether River by the Brahma Ghost Mother, leaving it to fend for itself.
Wu Dao's original body and the Void Yaksha had entered the Ghost Realm together. It was difficult to predict whether they would be able to return to the Middle World.
Of course, even if Wu Dao's original body and the Void Yaksha were safe in the Ghost Realm, Qinglian's original body could not establish a connection with them.
The Middle World and the Ghost Realm were two parallel and independent worlds.
Unless Wu Dao's original body returned to the Middle World or was in the same realm, the two main bodies would be separated by the realm barrier. It was difficult to establish a connection across two independent worlds.
… …
On this day, Lu Yun, Yu Lan, and Feng Xu, the peak masters of Slaughtering Sword Peak, came to visit.
Lu Yun shook his head in resignation. "Brother Su, you've had it easy. At this rate, when will your Buried Sword Peak rise?"
"That's right," Feng Xu chimed in.
Feng Xu added, "Let me tell you, many of the True Disciples of the various Sword Peaks don't agree with you."
Su Zimo didn't mind. "You can't rush things like this. The heritage of the Buried Sword Dao is right there, waiting for the fated one."
Indeed, he couldn't be blamed for this.
None of the true immortals of the great sword peaks were willing to come to Buried Sword Peak.
Since the Burial Sword Peak didn't have any treasures that could gather vital energy, it was very difficult for cultivators who ascended from the lower realms to land on the Burial Sword Peak.
It would take hundreds of thousands of years, or even millions of years, for Buried Sword Peak to rise to the level of the eight great sword peaks.
"Brother Su, I have good news."
They chatted for a while more before Lu Yun smiled mysteriously. "We've found the treasure of the Ninth Sword Peak!"
"I just received news that there's a piece of Great White Arcane Goldstone in the Celestial Bestowment World!"
"Oh?"
Su Zimo was surprised.
He'd heard of Great White Arcane Goldstone before.
It was a supreme treasure among divine metal ores. It contained the energy of arcane gold and was a natural fit for sword dao!
If a strand of Great White Arcane Goldstone was incorporated into an immortal sword, its killing power would skyrocket!
Such a rare treasure was indeed hard to come by.
Yu Lan nodded slightly. "This piece of Great White Arcane Goldstone is most suitable as the treasure of Buried Sword Peak."
In truth, the experts of the world of swords hadn't given up on finding a treasure suitable for the Ninth Sword Peak over the years.
The three peak lords were even more excited than Su Zimo at the news of Great White Arcane Goldstone.
"Where's the Celestial Bestowment World?"
Su Zimo asked, "This world is a bit unfamiliar. Does it belong to the lower realms?"
Odd looks flitted across the three peak lords' faces when they heard this.
"To be precise, the Celestial Bestowment World isn't ranked among the lower realms. If we had to rank it, it would definitely be a super major world!"
"The Celestial Bestowment World's origins are extremely mysterious. Even we don't know anything about it. The old geezers of the world of swords should know something about it, but they're very secretive about it."
Yu Lan continued, "We only know that the Celestial Bestowment World has the most unique status among the three thousand worlds and is extremely ancient. It may have been born when the upper world existed!
"Moreover, the upper world has seen many eras and suffered many catastrophes, but the Celestial Bestowment World has never fallen."
"It's that impressive?"
Su Zimo clicked his tongue.
