"Now, I've already broken through to the ninth level of the Void Prying Stage, and I'm only a step away from the Void Initiation Stage … I ought to contact the owners of the other eight jade swords."
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian withdrew a crystalline and translucent jade sword from his Spatial Ring.
This jade sword was precisely the key left behind by the Boundless Sect's Young Sect Leader to open the Sword Monarch's Treasure.
The Sword Monarch's Treasure, just by hearing its name, one would know that it was a treasure vault left behind by a formidable Martial Monarch.
Moreover, it was a sword cultivator Martial Monarch.
Without the slightest hesitation, Duan Lingtian moved the Origin Energy in his hand rhythmically just like three years ago, and he activated the voice transmission inscription on the jade sword.
Right at this moment, Duan Lingtian heard an aged voice. "After three years, you've finally made an appearance once more … I heard that fellow from the Darkstone Empire mention you three years ago."
"You're … the owner of the other jade sword?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
"Yes."
The aged voice entered into Duan Lingtian's ears through the voice transmission inscription, and it was extremely clear.
"Where are you from?"
Duan Lingtian asked curiously.
"I'm from the Cry Phoenix Empire."
The aged voice replied indifferently.
"Cry Phoenix Empire?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned.
"It's not surprising that you haven't heard of it … The Cry Phoenix Empire is extremely far away from the Darkstone Empire, and it doesn't belong to the Darkhan Dynasty."
The aged voice continued. "I heard that fellow say the other day that you want to wait for your strength to be sufficient before asking us to open the Sword Monarch's Treasure together?"
"You took the initiative to contact us this time. Have you already prepared?"
As he finished speaking, the aged voice was slightly excited.
Just think about it.
The key to open the Sword Monarch's Treasure had gathered dust in his possession for many years, and now that it could be put to use and open up a great fortuitous encounter, it was undoubtedly something that caused one to be excited.
Not to mention the various Dynasties including the Darkhan Dynasty, even if it was in the entire Foreign Lands, countless martial artists would covet the Sword Monarch's Treasure.
Of course, if one didn't have a jade sword, it would probably be impossible to find the location of the Sword Monarch's Treasure.
Furthermore, even if he had the jade sword, it would be useless if he didn't have all nine of them.
Only by gathering all nine jade swords would one be able to head to the Sword Monarch's Treasure and open it through the guidance of the jade swords.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian responded.
"Very good."
The owner of the old voice said excitedly, "How about this, you and I set a time and place … I'll be in charge of contacting the other seven people. We'll meet at the agreed place, Fang Ji. How about that?"
"Sure."
Duan Lingtian agreed without hesitation. "When and where do you think we should meet?"
The owner of the old voice said, "I have a rough idea of where they are. How about this? Let's meet at the Pheasant Ridge north of the Eastern Mulberry Empire's Imperial City in three months?"
"Dongsang Empire? Sure. "
Duan Lingtian replied, "Then it's settled. See you in three months."
Duan Lingtian had heard of the Dongsang Empire before.
It was an empire that was adjacent to the Darkstone Empire, and it was situated in the east of the Darkstone Empire. After passing through the eastern border of the Darkstone Empire was the Dongsang Empire.
"See you there."
The owner of the old voice spoke out as well.
Meanwhile, Duan Lingtian withdrew the Origin Energy he'd fused with the Voice Transmission Inscription and broke off the connection with the owner of the voice.
He thought in his heart and intended to put away the jade sword in his hand.
Unexpectedly.
Whoosh!
A swift gust of wind attacked.
In the next moment, the jade sword in Duan Lingtian's hand was seized away.
Duan Lingtian's face went grim, and he heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the person that seized his jade sword was Han Xuenai.
"Eh … Big Brother Ling Tian, this jade sword of yours doesn't seem to be simple."
Han Xuenai blinked her mischievous eyes as she looked at the jade sword in her hand, then looked at Duan Lingtian as she spoke with deep meaning.
"There's nothing not simple about it, it's just a little toy."
Duan Lingtian lightly shook his head and smiled as he stretched out his hand to seize the jade sword from Han Xuenai's hand.
Unexpectedly, Han Xuenai moved aside, causing Duan Lingtian to grab onto thin air. "Big Brother Ling Tian, you're lying … How could a little toy have an inscription on it? Moreover, it's a Voice Transmission Inscription. "
As she spoke up to here, the gaze Han Xuenai looked at Duan Lingtian was filled with craftiness.
"Xue Nai … You, you're able to discern that there's a Voice Transmission Inscription on it?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned and was slightly surprised.
For a moment, Han Xuenai was even more mysterious in his eyes.
"Hehe … I've seen this type of inscription before."
Han Xuenai laughed.
Duan Lingtian came to an understanding.
If Han Xuenai was really a member of the ancient Han Clan, then it wasn't strange for her to be able to recognize the Voice Transmission Inscription on the jade sword.
The Han Clan didn't lack Inscription Masters, nor did they lack Voice Transmission Inscriptions.
Han Xuenai's mischievous eyes ceaselessly spun as she looked at Duan Lingtian with a spurious smile, and she seemed as if she wouldn't return the jade sword to Duan Lingtian if Duan Lingtian didn't tell her.
"Xue Nai …"
Duan Lingtian laughed bitterly, then he sent a voice transmission and told Han Xuenai the origins of the jade sword.
"Sword Monarch's Treasure?"
After Han Xuenai found out about the origins of the jade sword, her mischievous eyes flickered with bright lights, and she'd obviously aroused interest towards the Sword Monarch's Treasure.
"Big Brother Ling Tian, you're too bad … You wouldn't be intending to abandon me, Little Black, and Little White to go to such a fun place by yourself, right?"
After Han Xuenai returned the jade sword to Duan Lingtian, she spoke with slight dissatisfaction.
Fun place?
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth twitched as he laughed embarrassedly, yet he didn't admit it.
Even though he did indeed have such thoughts.
"Big Brother Ling Tian, I want to go with you."
Han Xuenai's tone was resolute and decisive, and there wasn't the slightest room for discussion.
"If you want to go, then go with me."
Duan Lingtian didn't refuse.
As far as he was concerned.
Han Xuenai was an existence at the Void Interpretation Stage or above, and even in the entire Darkhan Dynasty, she was a top expert …
If he had her, then perhaps his trip to the Sword Monarch's Treasure would be even easier.
Needless to say, as a ninth level Void Initiation Stage demon beast, the Three-Eyed Flame Tiger's speed was extremely swift.
It only spent a month of time to traverse the Darkstone Empire's Imperial City and the Darkhan Dynasty's Capital to arrive in the sky above its destination.
The Three-Eyed Flame Tiger stood in the sky without moving in the slightest, and it was like an enormous mountain that floated high in the sky.
On this enormous mountain, a group of people stood in a row as they looked down at the vast expanse of land below them.
"This is the Darkhan Dynasty's Capital?"
A young genius couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
Presently, a city that was so vast that it was comparable to the sum of a few Darkstone Empire's Imperial Cities had appeared before the eyes of Duan Lingtian's group.
"As expected of the Darkhan Dynasty's Capital, it's absolutely the largest city I've seen in my lifetime."
Zhong Nan sighed with emotion.
"Yeah, even I feel like a frog at the bottom of a well before the Darkhan Dynasty's Capital."
Gao Yuhai lightly fanned the fan in his hand, and he had a complicated gaze.
"All of you will only know what a frog at the bottom of a well is when you truly see the young experts of the Darkhan Dynasty!"
King Yong said indifferently, "According to my knowledge, there are many people in the Darkhan Dynasty with strengths that aren't inferior to Mo Xuan … Even though all of you have come here to compete for the qualifications to participate in the selection, I only have confidence in Mo Xuan."
"Of course, it isn't that I'm looking down on your natural talent … Amongst all of you, Duan Lingtian and Su Li aren't inferior to Mo Xuan in terms of natural talent. But unfortunately, they're too young! If they were given a few more years of time, it wouldn't be impossible for them to catch up to Mo Xuan. "
When he spoke up to here, King Yong looked at Duan Lingtian and Su Li as if he was consoling them.
For a time, the gazes of most people couldn't help but descend onto Duan Lingtian and Su Li.
King Yong's words were extremely pertinent, and most of them agreed.
Of course, there were also some that didn't agree.
That was Long Yun!
At this moment, Long Yun had an unconvinced expression.
It was as if he was unconvinced because King Yong didn't mention him.
Duan Lingtian and Su Li couldn't help but look at each other when they heard King Yong.
"Duan Lingtian, looks like King Yong doesn't look favorably upon the two of us."
Su Li spoke to Duan Lingtian via voice transmission.
"Then we'll let our actions prove that his judgment is wrong."
Duan Lingtian shrugged and replied with an indifferent expression.
"I have the same intention!"
Su Li's face was filled with confidence.
"Come, let's go over there!"
In next to no time, King Yong spoke out and urged the Three-Eyed Flame Tiger to head towards the continuous mountain range at the west of the Darkhan Dynasty's Capital.
The continuous mountain range was impossible to see the end of.
After King Yong found a spacious gorge as a resting place for the Three-Eyed Flame Tiger, he instructed. "From today onwards, you'll stay here … Once the Dynasty Martial Competition ends, I'll bring the people that were eliminated to come look for you and return to the Darkstone Empire together."
"Aowu ~"
The Three-Eyed Flame Tiger's body that was like an enormous mountain lay within the gorge as he nodded to King Yong.
At the same time, he didn't forget to glance at the nearby yellow clothed young woman, and fear that came from the soul was mixed within the depths of his gaze.
"Let's go!"
After settling down the Three-Eyed Flame Tiger, King Yong and the two old men behind him brought along Duan Lingtian and the others to head directly to the Darkhan Dynasty's Capital.
Looking down at the Darkhan Dynasty's Capital from the sky was a completely different feeling from looking up at it from outside the gates of the Darkhan Dynasty's Capital.
"How magnificent!"
Duan Lingtian looked at the city that was like an enormous beast before his eyes, and his heart trembled.
The entire city emitted an ancient and experienced aura from top to bottom, and it seemed as if it was telling of the long history of its existence.
"There's already no way to find out how long the Darkhan Dynasty has existed."
King Yong sighed. "Before our Darkstone Empire and even the other Empires of the Darkhan Dynasty were born … The Darkhan Dynasty had already existed."
"For example, the gold and silver notes we usually use came from the Darkhan Dynasty … No matter how the Empires, Imperial Kingdoms, or Kingdoms change dynasties, so long as the Darkhan Dynasty still exists, the gold and silver notes won't lose their value."
As King Yong finished speaking, he felt deep veneration.
A dignified existence at the Void Interpretation Stage couldn't help but arouse respect from the bottom of his heart when facing the history of the Darkhan Dynasty.
As the Capital of the Darkhan Dynasty, it was heavily guarded, and not just anyone could casually enter the Capital.
