Each time the cultivators of the Great Zhou Dynasty entered the ancient battlefield, they would linger at the periphery – how could they have heard of the Saber Mountain Spirit Sea?
If not for the fact that Su Zimo brought Ji Chengtian and the others here, they might not have even heard of Xuantian City or had the chance to meet major sects like Elixir Yang Sect and Glass Palace in their entire lives.
This was an extremely precious experience that opened their horizons completely.
Su Zimo and Yan Jun had never crossed paths before. However, the latter treated him harshly and mocked him whenever he had the chance.
As for the reason, Su Zimo could roughly guess in his heart.
However, this person was a cultivator of Elixir Yang Sect after all and had not crossed his bottom line. As such, Su Zimo could not be bothered with him.
Tang Yu frowned slightly and glared at Yan Jun with a warning look before saying slowly, "The reason why the Saber Mountain Spirit Sea is famous is because it's related to an ancient legend."
Through Tang Yu's tone, it was clear that the legend was not simple.
The expressions of Su Zimo and the others froze as they sat upright, listening intently.
Tang Yu said word by word, "That legend is the legend of the Saber Emperor!"
Saber Emperor!
The voids trembled the moment she said those two words, as though dark cracks were being torn apart with cold winds howling endlessly!
Those two words alone carried with them an inexplicable might that was ancient and boundless, as though it had transcended through the ages with an indestructible will that shocked everyone!
Instantly, a murderous intent surged through the hall.
Everyone felt as though their breathing had become much more difficult.
It took a long time for that feeling to dissipate gradually.
Tang Yu took a deep breath of air and said, "The emperor is invincible, supreme and unique! In the Dao of the saber, he is invincible and there is no one else above him. He is the emperor of the saber, the Saber Emperor! "
"The Saber Emperor might not be the number one expert of Tianhuang Mainland. However, in the Dao of the saber, he is the only emperor among all saber cultivators!"
Su Zimo understood.
There might be many emperors in an era. However, in a certain domain or Dao, there could only be a single emperor.
That was the meaning of an emperor – invincible, supreme and unique!
The emperor of the immortal Dao was the Immortal Emperor; the emperor of the fiend Dao was the Fiend Emperor; the emperor of the sword Dao was the Sword Emperor …
Based on that, those who could become emperors were definitely the strongest cultivators of Tianhuang Mainland.
"Everyone knows that the sword reigns supreme in Tianhuang Mainland right now and cultivators use flying swords as an offensive weapon. Swords and sabers have their own emperors. Swords had their own Daos and saber Daos. Swords had their own Daos and sabers had their own Daos.... Swords had their own Daos and saber Daos and saber Daos and saber Daos of...... Swords had their own Daos and saber Daos of saber Daos... each Dao's Dao and saber Dao....
"However, in the ancient era, the fortune of the human race was strong and countless paragons were born in Tianhuang Mainland. Emperors rose and that was a golden era that belonged to the human race! An epic war once broke out between the human race and the other races, known as the Ancient War. The war lasted for a long time and countless human experts and ancient Mighty Figures died. The emperors were stained with blood in an extremely tragic manner. "
"Although the war ended with the victory of the human race, most of the Dao of weapons were lost in the ancient battlefield and their paths were severed. The two strongest lineages left were the Dao of the sword and saber."
When they heard that, Su Zimo and the others were shocked.
They had heard about those ancient secrets and legends before and were filled with curiosity now that they heard about it.
Although it was only a few words, it was as though a magnificent era was outlined before everyone's eyes.
In fact, Su Zimo even had an urge to return to the river of time and go against the flow to follow in the footsteps of the predecessors to witness that glorious history.
Tang Yu continued, "The reason why those two lineages were able to survive from the ancient war is naturally because of two people – the Sword Emperor and the Saber Emperor. There are way too many legends about those two experts. Some say that they were mortal enemies, some say that they were best friends and some say that they were both friends and foes who appreciated each other … "
"No matter what, the final conclusion is that the Saber Emperor fled far away and left Tianhuang Mainland. After that, there were no emperors for weapons in Tianhuang Mainland and only the Dao of the sword reigned. That was how the current situation of the cultivation world was formed. "
Su Zimo and the others heaved a long sigh of relief, unable to calm down for a long time.
It was only at this moment that they realized why most cultivators in the cultivation world used flying swords and not weapons such as flying sabers. So, that was the reason.
Tang Yu said, "The legacy left behind by the Sword Emperor back then is the current Sword Sect of the nine immortal sects!"
Su Zimo was secretly shocked.
Initially, he thought that super sects such as the nine immortal sects, seven fiend sects and six Buddhist monasteries were known as the top factions of Tianhuang Mainland because they had a long history and a strong foundation.
But now, it seemed like the sects that were ranked had shocking backgrounds!
For example, the founder of Sword Sect of the nine immortal sects was the Sword Emperor of the ancient era. In fact, he could even influence the later generations and form the current situation where the Dao of the sword reigned supreme in the cultivation world!
After pondering for a moment, Su Zimo suddenly asked, "Where did the Saber Emperor go?"
Tang Yu smiled gently. "The Saber Emperor drifted overseas and found an isolated island in the sea where he left his legacy."
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat as he blurted out, "One of the two islands?"
The top factions of Tianhuang Mainland were the nine immortal sects, eight demon regions, seven fiend sects, six Buddhist monasteries, five heretical doctrines, four unorthodox groups, three aristocratic families, two islands and one palace.
"That's right."
A look of admiration flashed through Tang Yu's eyes as she nodded. "The legacy left behind by the Saber Emperor is one of the two islands, Divine Phoenix Island. The successor of Divine Phoenix Island rarely sets foot in Tianhuang Mainland. However, each time a successor of Divine Phoenix Island appears, they are all unparalleled and peerless paragons. They will definitely cause a huge commotion in the cultivation world! "
Su Zimo lamented.
From that perspective, the Saber Emperor did not lose back then.
The legacy left behind by the Sword Emperor was one of the immortal sects and the legacy of the Saber Emperor was one of the two islands. Be it in terms of reputation, status or strength, they were not weaker than Sword Sect.
"What has the Saber Mountain Spirit Sea got to do with the Saber Emperor?" Su Zimo asked.
Tang Yu explained, "It's said that when the Saber Emperor left Tianhuang Mainland, he left behind his legacy, which is the Saber Mountain Spirit Sea in the ancient battlefield."
"Although the Saber Mountain Spirit Sea does exist, no cultivator has been able to obtain the legacy throughout history. Countless paragons have appeared during this period of time but all of them ended in failure. Gradually, the Saber Mountain Spirit Sea turned into a legend and no one believed in it anymore, until … "
Pausing for a moment, Tang Yu continued, "About a thousand years ago, a monstrous cultivator appeared in the ancient battlefield. Although he did not come from the super sects of Tianhuang Mainland, his combat strength was heaven-defying and he could fight against the legacy disciples of the various major sects! "
"It's said that he obtained the Saber Emperor's legacy in the Saber Mountain Spirit Sea!"
Su Zimo frowned slightly and asked, "If the Saber Emperor's legacy was obtained by that person, is the Saber Mountain Spirit Sea still around?"
"I don't know the exact reason either, but it's still around."
Tang Yu nodded. "You're considered a saber cultivator and the Saber Mountain Spirit Sea is the most suitable for you. It can also allow your combat strength to rise rapidly. Of course, there's a prerequisite for that – you have to obtain the Saber Emperor's legacy. "
