The sword reigned supreme in Tianhuang Mainland and there were extremely few pure saber cultivators, let alone in the ancient battlefield.
Even though the ruin before them was left behind by the Saber Emperor, there were not many cultivators gathered here. Looking along the coastline, there were only a few thousand people.
The strange thing was that most of the cultivators stood slightly further away from the coastline, as though they were afraid of the spirit sea as they discussed and pointed in hushed tones.
Su Zimo had limited knowledge of the Saber Mountain Spirit Sea and came near the crowd to listen carefully.
"The Saber Emperor's methods are heaven-defying and he can gather qi into a sea. If one can cultivate in the spirit sea, they'll definitely benefit greatly," A skinny cultivator in the crowd said with a flickering gaze.
"Fufu."
"How ignorant."
The moment that person said that, a series of mockery and ridicule sounded from the crowd.
The person who spoke first blushed and stretched his neck, retorting, "What did I say wrong?"
"The spirit qi in the spirit sea is indeed rich and pure. However, it is filled with endless saber qi that is sharp and sharp. If you enter the spirit sea, you'll have to endure the baptism of the saber qi!"
"Look at your puny body. You'll explode and die the moment you step into the spirit sea!"
"Hehe, countless paragons have been buried in the spirit sea throughout history. If you're not afraid of death, you can give it a try."
A look of realization flashed through Su Zimo's eyes.
It was no wonder why there were marks left behind by sharp weapons on the reefs by the shore.
It turned out that there was endless saber qi in the spirit sea and cultivators with weak physiques could not withstand it at all!
If one was too close to the shore and the seawater surged, a huge wave would sweep them in and they would never be able to get out again.
A cultivator said in a deep voice, "This is the test left behind by the Saber Emperor. If you want to obtain the inheritance, you'll have to cross the spirit sea before you and ascend the saber mountain!"
Su Zimo looked into the distance. The saber mountain stood at the end of the spirit sea, truly far away and unreachable.
"Isn't that simple?"
The skinny cultivator pointed at the saber mountain and hollered heroically, "Let's soar on our swords. Although the saber mountain is far away, we can travel day and night. What's there to be afraid of?"
"Hahahaha!"
The crowd burst into laughter again.
Someone shook his head. "If the test left behind by the Saber Emperor was that simple, would there have only been a single person from the ancient era who managed to pass it and obtain the inheritance?"
Before he finished speaking, a cultivator rushed over from afar with an excited expression.
He took out a spirit saber from his storage bag and leaped onto it. Channeling his spirit energy, he shouted, "Go!"
Whoosh!
That person turned into a stream of light and crossed the Spirit Sea, heading towards the Saber Mountain.
Most of the cultivators in the crowd had mocking expressions on their faces. They sneered as if they were waiting to see a joke.
Su Zimo knew that things weren't that simple.
Before he could finish his thought, the cultivator, who had just arrived above the Spirit Sea, suddenly stopped. He paused for a moment and then began to fall.
No matter how this person struggled in the air and circulated his spiritual energy, it was of no use.
Before it fell into the Spirit Sea, it was swallowed by a wave.
"Ah … Ah!"
This person floated in the Spirit Sea, occasionally letting out a scream. After a while, he disappeared.
The surface of the Spirit Sea was stained with a hint of blood that gradually faded as the waves surged.
When he saw that, the skinny cultivator who initially declared that he wanted to cross the Spirit Sea turned pale. Sweat broke out on his forehead and even his breathing became heavier.
Su Zimo was secretly shocked as well.
This Spirit Sea was truly deadly!
It was no wonder why nobody dared to attempt to cross the Spirit Sea even though there were thousands of cultivators here.
A cultivator at the side explained, "Flying is prohibited above the Spirit Sea. Even if you cross it, you'll fall into the Spirit Sea."
"You're only asking for trouble if you try to play tricks in front of an emperor," Another person sneered.
The skinny cultivator calmed himself down and asked after a moment, "In that case, only body tempering super sects such as Glass Palace and Overlord Palace can cross the Spirit Sea?"
"It has nothing to do with your sect,"
Another cultivator explained, "Only saber cultivators are qualified to cross the Spirit Sea. If other cultivators try to cross by force, they'll be minced by the saber qi! "
"That's right. I heard that there was once a paragon of Sword Sect who tried to cross the Spirit Sea to challenge the might of the Saber Emperor. However, he was sliced by the saber qi before he could even make it a hundred meters and died in the Spirit Sea."
At that point, Su Zimo already had a rough understanding of the Saber Mountain Spirit Sea.
Firstly, one could not cross it by flying.
Secondly, one had to be a saber cultivator.
Thirdly, one had to have a strong physique to withstand the baptism of the saber qi and cross the Spirit Sea to pass the test left behind by the Saber Emperor.
If that was the case, there was a chance for him to give it a try.
Right then, Su Zimo's gaze shifted and landed on a black reef by the shore.
A man in blood-colored robes sat on it with a saber placed horizontally on his knees. His eyes were closed and his wet black hair draped down casually, covering his face.
Out of the thousands of cultivators, this was the only one who dared to sit on the reef by the shore and allow the seawater to wash over him. His clothes were already drenched but he did not seem to realize it.
There were more than ten corpses behind him and it was clear that some of them had died not long ago.
Looking at the back view of that person, Su Zimo felt as though he had seen him somewhere before but he could not recall where.
After pondering for a moment, Su Zimo looked at a cultivator beside him and asked softly, "Who's that blood-robed cultivator at the front?"
"He's a ruthless character."
The cultivator beside him whispered with some wariness, "Do you see the corpses behind him? They're all cultivators who wanted to cross the Spirit Sea. Because they set off too close to him, they were all killed by him!"
"Just because of that?"
Su Zimo frowned slightly.
If that was the only reason why he went on a killing spree, that person was not as simple as a ruthless character.
The cultivator pouted his lips. "The fiend heir of Shura Sect doesn't need a reason to kill."
"It's him!"
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat.
The cultivator beside him continued, "The fiend heir of Shura Sect has a high chance of crossing the Spirit Sea and obtaining the inheritance. I heard that the cultivator who obtained the inheritance of the Saber Emperor a thousand years ago was from Shura Sect. "
All of a sudden!
The blood-robed cultivator who was initially seated on the reef opened his eyes and stood up. Turning around slowly, he looked in Su Zimo's direction.
For a top expert like him, he would definitely sense it if he was stared at for too long.
Furthermore, in that instant, Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat and there was even a hint of hostility in his eyes.
When he saw this person's face, Su Zimo no longer had any doubts.
The blood-robed cultivator was none other than the fiend heir of Shura Sect who fought Su Zimo underground previously!
"Fufufufu …"
The blood-robed cultivator laughed and glared at Su Zimo. His eyes shone brightly with excitement as he said slowly, "You're here indeed. I've been waiting for a long time!"
