In the Moon Continent, at the top of the Pill Emperor Hall, on top of the flight of stairs, a celestial mist permeated the air. The main hall of the Pill Emperor Hall towered into the clouds, and in the entire Moon Continent, people from all eight directions paid homage to it.
To many, the Pill Emperor Hall was a sacred ground.
Those from the Pill Emperor Hall were all proficient in pill concoction, and could even save lives. Everyone's impression of the Pill Emperor Hall was much better compared to the other transcendent powers.
Within the towering main hall, the fragrance of pills pervaded the air, and there was a faintly discernible immortal energy.
However, behind those halls, there was a door to a forbidden area that outsiders were never allowed to step foot into.
Over here, there were experts guarding it. The immortal qi within the gate transformed into a dense mist, causing many disciples of the Pill Emperor Hall to be lost in reverie. This place was rumored to be the sacred ground of the Pill Emperor Hall. It was rumored that there would often be outstanding holy maidens of the Pill Emperor Hall who would be chosen to enter and undergo the baptism of the sacred ground. When they exited, their immortal qi would be imbued with an even stronger talent, causing countless people to revere them.
However, there was a rule in the Pill Emperor Hall. Once one stepped into the sacred grounds of the Pill Emperor Hall, it signified that they would forever be a member of the Pill Emperor Hall. They were not allowed to marry outside of the Pill Emperor Hall, and their life and death would be in the hands of the Pill Emperor Hall.
At this moment, within the forbidden gate that blocked the path of countless disciples of the Pill Emperor Hall, a silhouette could be seen walking through it. This silhouette was none other than Luo He from the Pill Emperor Hall.
Luo He slowly walked forwards, moving towards the end of the immortal mist. In front of her, a precipice appeared, and on the edge of the precipice, there was actually a silhouette. It was none other than her senior apprentice brother, as well as the master of Zhan Chen.
At this moment, Luo He appeared extremely restrained as she slowly walked to the edge of the cliff, casting her gaze downwards. If others could see what Luo He saw right now, they would definitely be scared out of their wits.
In the sacred ground of the Pill Emperor Hall, at the bottom of the precipice, there was actually a mountain range of skeletons.
The Skeleton Mountain Range was filled with a dense Death Aura. At the bottom of the Skeleton Mountain Range, there were skeletons buried here forever.
It was such a terrifying scene. There were many black stone platforms below, and there were many white-clothed women sitting on them. They were all shockingly beautiful, but their expressions were slightly dull.
In the middle of these white-robed young girls, there was a terrifying skeleton that seemed to emit a cold red light. It seemed to have fluctuations of life.
"I heard that you prepared the eighty-first Dan body for me."
An evil and cold voice drifted over, as though it came from the skeleton. Luo He's heart trembled as she glanced at her senior brother beside her. Her countenance was extremely unsightly.
"I will do my best." Luo He respectfully replied.
"Hmph!"
A cold snort echoed in Luo He's heart, causing her countenance to turn pale.
"I hope you know your limits."
Luo He's ice-cold voice pierced right into Luo He's heart. She bowed slightly and replied, "I will do my best."
"I'll give you another year." Luo He nodded her head as she silently retreated. She was thinking in her heart, "Qingcheng ah Qingcheng, I initially wanted you to inherit my legacy. But on account of your talent, I'll give you one last chance. If you continue to be obstinate, don't blame me for being merciless."
Today, a year had already passed since the Heavenly Fate Rankings battle.
…
In the central regions of Grand Xia, there was a city named Sword Reverence City.
Although this city was not as prosperous as the Nine State City, it was still very famous in the region of hundreds of thousands of miles. It was the other city that worshipped swordsmanship besides the Nine State City and the Yan State City.
And it was precisely because of this that it was named Sword Reverence City.
The reason why the Sword Reverence City was so famous was because outside of its city gates, there was a land of precipices. The edges of this precipice were extremely flat, and terrifying sword qi could be felt emanating from it. It was as though a towering gigantic sword had sliced through the earth, creating this precipice between two pieces of earth.
Nine incomparably sharp swords were inserted into the ground at the edge of the precipice, receiving the worship of millions of people. Hence, this ancient city was named Sword Reverence City.
Recently, there was a commotion in Sword Reverence City that was being discussed by many.
A few months ago, a young swordsman arrived at the outskirts of Sword Reverence City. This swordsman was clad in white and had an ancient sword strapped to his back, exuding an air of elegance and elegance.
This young man comprehended the will of swords on the precipice and sparred with others every day. His improvement was like a thousand miles in a single day, and within a short span of three days, he had already comprehended the will of swords.
The first level of insight of swords was sharpness.
The sharpness of the sword was indestructible and indestructible.
This young man comprehended the will of swords in three days. Ten days later, his will of swords was at the Advanced Boundary. A month later, his will of swords was at the Transformation Boundary. In less than three months, his will of swords was at the Perfection Boundary.
Every time he improved, many people witnessed it with their own eyes. They couldn't help but believe that there was such a genius in swords.
Not only that, there was something even more terrifying. This young man's comprehension of swords was also extraordinary. When he sparred with others, he was actually able to learn the sword techniques of others without fail. This caused countless people to be stunned.
This young man only used a short span of three months to become an expert in swords. Not only that, every time he sparred with others, he would use the same level of insight as his opponent, using only sword techniques. Everyone discovered that no matter who challenged him, he would be able to defeat them all. His strength was incomparably impressive.
Only after he was invincible on the precipice did the young man step into Sword Reverence City.
Within the Sword Reverence City, at this moment, this young man was sparring with another young man around twenty-six or twenty-seven years of age. Both of their swords were exquisite, and their sword qi permeated the air.
"Haha, Brother Qin's swordsmanship is truly profound. I, Zong, am impressed." The two of them separated. The other young man sheathed his sword as he stared at the young man opposite him, a look of appreciation could be seen in his eyes. Such a young man could already be considered a demon-level genius in the Dao of the Sword.
This young man was naturally Qin Wentian. After he exited the ancient kingdom of Grand Xia, he didn't linger in Ginkou. He directly left and came to the Sword Reverence City. He needed to first condense his fourth Astral Nova and step into Heavenly Dipper.
Naturally, although Qin Wentian didn't have any Heavenly Dipper Qi, he had three Astral Novas. From a certain perspective, he could already be considered a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign.
"Isn't Brother Zong's swordsmanship also extremely profound? As expected of a descendant of a famous sect." Qin Wentian laughed.
Zong Qian's eyes flashed with a bright light as he laughed, "Seems like Brother Qin has already guessed my identity. Truth be told, I'm none other than Zong Qian from the Zong Clan of the Sword Reverence City."
The three major powers of the Sword Reverence City were respectively the Zong Clan, Li Clan, and Heavenly Sword Sect. These three powers were the strongest in the Sword Reverence City, and countless people had joined them, becoming their disciples.
These three major powers were truly famous in the Sword Reverence City, with experts as common as the clouds.
Among the three major powers, the Zong Clan was the most low-profile, the Li Clan was the sharpest, and the Heavenly Sword Sect was the most famous. The first choice of countless youths would naturally be the Heavenly Sword Sect. After all, the other two major powers were clans.
"My name is Qin Wentian." Qin Wentian nodded.
"Truth be told, Brother Qin, I have a question. There's a rumor in the Sword Reverence City that Brother Qin stepped onto the path of the sword three months ago, and within three months, your Mandate of Swords had already reached the Perfection Boundary. Is this true?" Zong Qian's personality was straightforward, and he didn't hide anything as he asked. He was extremely curious about this matter, and there were even many who speculated that Qin Wentian was intentionally trying to gain fame. In truth, he was already proficient in swordsmanship. If not, how could his comprehension abilities be so terrifying?
"If I say yes, would Brother Zong believe me?" Qin Wentian laughed.
Zong Qian paused for a moment before replying, "If it was before, I wouldn't believe you. But now that I've met Brother Qin, if Brother Qin says it's true, I'll definitely believe you."
"Why is that?" Qin Wentian curiously asked.
"Swordsmen cultivate the heart of the sword. They are like their swords, and their swords are like their swords. For those whose swordsmanship is strange and crafty, their character would definitely be like this as well. Brother Qin's sword is sharp and straight, walking the path of tyranny. Once the sword is unleashed, it will advance courageously, and there's a hint of the Dao of Kings within it. This is the righteous path of swordsmanship, how can I not believe you?" Zong Qian laughed, causing a look of astonishment to appear on Qin Wentian's face.
Zong Qian was as expected of someone who came from a famed sect, to be able to discern people through their swordsmanship.
"Not only that, from what I've observed, Brother Qin's swordsmanship, it's extremely pure. Just casually standing there, it's like a sword. If Brother Qin doesn't cultivate the way of the sword, it would be a waste."
"Brother Zong is praising me too much." Qin Wentian bitterly smiled as he shook his head.
"The two of you hit it off right from the start. I'm slightly older than you and can be considered as your elder brother. Today, I will definitely bring you back to the clan. The two of us will drink to our heart's content and discuss our swordsmanship." This Zong Qian was a passionate person. As he spoke, he grabbed onto Qin Wentian's arm, causing Qin Wentian to furrow his brows. After which, he turned his gaze onto Zong Qian, only to see that Zong Qian's countenance was extremely pure and sincere.
Just like what Zong Qian had said, sword cultivators were straightforward in nature. They were like their swords, and their swords were like them. This Zong Qian's swordsmanship was both straightforward and swift. He was also a straightforward person, and would do whatever he wanted to do.
However at this moment, not too far away, sword qi whistled through the air. Inclining his head, he saw three swords speeding through the air, instantly arriving at Qin Wentian's location. Three silhouettes, two males and one female, could be seen standing on top of the three swords.
The two males were around thirty years old, while the female had beautiful features and was around twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Her skin was extremely soft and supple, as though it could be broken by a gentle breeze.
Upon seeing the appearance of these three, Zong Qian instantly released Qin Wentian's arm. However, the three in the air had already seen the earlier scene. Their eyes flickered as they stared at Qin Wentian with sharpness.
"Are you the swordsman cultivating at the Sword Reverence Cliff?" The young man on the left had a blood-colored mole in the center of his brows, giving off a tyrannical aura. He stood on his sword and stared at Qin Wentian as he coldly asked.
"That's me, Qin." Qin Wentian replied.
"I initially thought you were a solitary sword cultivator and wanted to spar with you. Who would have thought that you would be someone invited by the Zong Clan." The young man on the right had a pair of sword-like eyebrows, giving off a sense of sharpness.
"I've already said this before, it's impossible for this brat to comprehend the Sword Reverence Cliff in just three months. He must have lied to everyone and is a sword cultivator. If not, the Zong Clan wouldn't have invited him to the Sword Reverence City at this time." The female's lips were thin, and her words were unkind.
Qin Wentian furrowed his brows, only to see Zong Qian coldly interjected, "Li Nian, this is the first time Brother Qin has come to the Sword Reverence City. He has nothing to do with my Zong Clan."
"Is that so? What's the use of trying to cover things up now? Since your Zong Clan has already invited someone over, I'm sure you're already prepared for battle. Now that there's a chance, why don't you spar with me?" The female spoke in a Cold tone. As the sound of her voice faded, the young man with sword-like eyebrows beside her pressed his palm into the air. Instantly, a terrifying sword qi gushed forth, gushing towards Qin Wentian.
Zong Qian stepped out, blocking in front of Qin Wentian as he coldly stated, "This is a grudge between the Zong and Li Clan, don't implicate others."
"Since you dared to do it, why don't you dare to admit it? Zong Qian, since you invited him over, why are you afraid of a battle?" The countenance of the young man with sword-like eyebrows grew sharper. Pressing his palm downwards, an even stronger blood-colored sword light whistled through the air, extremely terrifying to behold.
Zong Qian also erupted forth with a powerful aura. The young man in front of him wasn't someone easy to deal with. Although Qin Wentian's Mandate of Swords was at the Perfection Boundary, he was still too young and his cultivation base wasn't strong enough. Not only that, when he exchanged blows with Qin Wentian, he could only sense that Qin Wentian had only deleted his Mandate of Swords. He couldn't sense anything else. Zong Qian was worried that if Qin Wentian were to act, Qin Wentian would definitely be at a disadvantage.
