The Great Sky Domain was one of the few high-level domains in the Origin Source Realm.
Not only were the higher level domains more vast, but the concentration and purity of the world's yuan qi was far greater than that of the lower level domains. The Great Dao was also more complete. The people who fought in the higher level domains were often more outstanding than those in the lower level domains, with the exception of a few rare exceptions.
A high-level cultivation environment and nourishment over a long period of time naturally created a group of even more talented people.
This was the reason why it was said that it was difficult to raise a true dragon in shallow water. A true dragon could only grow and roam freely in the vast and deep ocean. This was also why many geniuses from low-level domains would often leave low-level domains for middle-level domains or even high-level domains after reaching a certain level. This was because they could only obtain better resources and opportunities in higher-level domains to improve themselves better.
Geniuses born in high-level domains would receive better grooming and enjoy better resources from a young age. They would constantly improve their own potential, allowing them to grow step by step and surpass their peers. Ming Jing was one of them, and so was the man with the surname Ye. They could be considered the top batch of geniuses in the Great Sky Domain. They would not be inferior even if they were placed in other high-level domains.
Chu Mu and Ming Jing set off from Human City. It took them more than a month to reach the Sword Cliff. The first half of the journey could be said to be unimpeded, but the second half was dangerous from time to time, especially towards the end. They encountered several dangers that they could not withstand. Fortunately, both of them were strong and had good luck, so they were able to avoid them.
The Sword Cliff was ninety-nine feet high. One side of the cliff was rough and steep, while the other side was straight and smooth, as if it had been split open by a giant sword.
When Chu Mu and Ming Jing arrived at the Sword Cliff, they were shocked by the Sword Cliff from afar.
Ninety-nine feet was not high at all, but the Sword Cliff contained a very special aura. It was ninety-nine feet high, but it gave off an aura of ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine feet. It was enough to make anyone appear insignificant in front of it, even Great Emperor experts.
The people who came here were basically all geniuses. They more or less had the strength to challenge those of a higher realm. Their cultivation bases were almost all at the supreme realm.
Chu Mu saw that there was someone walking to the bottom of the Sword Cliff. After accumulating his strength, he suddenly erupted and soared into the sky, heading straight for the top of the Sword Cliff. It was as though there was a huge pressure suppressing this person, causing his speed to decrease and greatly hindered.
Just as he was about to stop, he let out a loud roar, and his strength exploded for the second time, forcibly breaking through the pressure and rising another ten feet or so. Following that, the Sword Light poured down like a torrential rain, pouring down on the Sword Cliff, but his body could not maintain its balance and fell straight down.
Failure!
This person did not succeed in leaving his name on the Sword Cliff. Although he could come a second time, he would have to wait for a month.
Calculating the time, there was still more than a month before the time limit for completing the mission, which meant that this person still had one more chance.
One failure did not dampen the fighting spirit of the others. Immediately, a second person stepped forward.
One after another, after failing ten times in a row, everyone realized that it was not so easy to leave one's name on the Sword Cliff.
Chu Mu carefully observed and saw some things.
First, the Sword Cliff had to have a unique power that would suppress those who wanted to leave their name. The strength of the suppression seemed to be closely related to one's cultivation. In other words, the suppression of the Sword Cliff was not fixed, but would be adjusted according to each person.
Second, when attacking, one had to be powerful enough and fast enough. One also had to have a good grasp of the rhythm. Otherwise, no matter how high one went, it would be difficult to leave one's name on the Sword Cliff.
Third, one had to have enough strength and act according to one's ability.
According to his analysis, the final reward for leaving one's name on the Sword Cliff was closely related to how high one's name was.
Chu Mu could clearly see that on the Sword Cliff at ninety-nine feet, from the lowest to the highest, there were thousands of names, but the highest was only at eighty-nine feet. That name was shining with a dazzling golden light.
Chu Huangji!
"Brother Chu, look, the person in first place is actually from your family," Mingjing said with a smile.
Chu Mu was a little surprised, but he did not think much of it. It was just someone with the same surname. However, he was very interested in this Chu Huangji. To be able to obtain first place on the Sword Cliff meant that he had a great potential.
To leave one's name on the Sword Cliff, everyone had to show their true strength. Otherwise, even if one wanted to take advantage of the situation and leave one's name at the foot of the Sword Cliff, they would not be able to do it. The Sword Cliff seemed to have a mind of its own. It would directly suppress those who tried to take advantage of the situation and leave them in a sorry state.
"Mingjing, you actually didn't die on the way here," the man surnamed Ye appeared again.
"I won't die even if you die," a cold light flashed through Mingjing's eyes.
"How about it? Are you interested in competing to see who can leave their name higher on the Sword Cliff?" The young man surnamed Ye laughed coldly. His sharp gaze moved from Chu Mu's face to Mingjing's face as he spoke with a smile that wasn't a smile.
"Alright, whoever loses will commit suicide on the spot," Mingjing said without any hesitation.
"Hehe, you and I are both people with status. There's no point in playing this kind of game." The man surnamed Ye did not seem surprised at all. "According to my speculation, the reward for leaving one's name on the Sword Cliff might be a rare Growth-type Rune. At that time, one would need a large number of Massacre Runes to nurture it. How about this? If you lose, give me 1,000 Bronze Massacre Runes. If I lose, I'll also give you 1,000 Bronze Massacre Runes."
In the end, as if to show his magnanimity, he glanced at Chu Mu and said, "You can also participate as a companion. As long as one of you can leave a name higher than mine on the Sword Cliff, it'll be my loss."
"Prepare to obediently hand over 1,000 Bronze Massacre Runes," Chu Mu said.
He could see that every time Mingjing met this man surnamed Ye, her emotions would change and become somewhat unstable.
"I'll go first," Mingjing said, her tone somewhat cold.
Mingjing walked towards the bottom of the Sword Cliff step by step. With every step, her power would circulate and be mobilized. Her aura constantly condensed, and a powerful pressure filled her body.
When he arrived at the foot of the cliff, Ming Jing did not stop at all. With a bang, he soared straight into the sky. His feet continued to take steps in the air, and the air became like stairs that allowed his body to continue to ascend.
The higher she went, the greater the pressure seemed to be. Mingjing's speed also continuously decreased.
When she felt that it was about time, Mingjing unsheathed her sword.
Sword Light was incomparably sharp. It tore through the sky and struck the Sword Cliff.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Mingjing seemed to be using a sword technique, using it to carve her name on the Sword Cliff.
When the last stroke was completed, Mingjing's body also descended. It was very dangerous.
When she landed, Mingjing raised her head and stared at her name on the Sword Cliff. She could not help but feel somewhat nervous. Her name was definitely on the Sword Cliff, but it was hard to say how high she would go.
Mingjing was not the only one who was nervous. The man surnamed Ye was also very nervous. However, he was very shrewd, so he did not show it. He knew very well that Mingjing was a genius who was not inferior to him in the slightest.
The two words' Mingjing 'on the Sword Cliff shone brightly, attracting everyone's attention. Immediately after, the two words' Mingjing 'moved to a height of eight hundred feet to eight hundred and ninety feet.
Leaving one's name on the Sword Cliff was actually a test of one's potential.
How could this potential be displayed?
The height of one's leap, the strength and stability of one's attack, the rhythm and timing of one's attack, the depth of one's name, and so on.
Under everyone's gazes, and under the nervous gazes of Mingjing and the man surnamed Ye, Mingjing's name finally landed at eight hundred and fifty feet. There were fifteen names above her name.
In other words, since ancient times, there had been a total of fifteen people who had left their names on the Sword Cliff whose potential exceeded Mingjing's. Of course, this did not mean that there were only fifteen people in the entire Origin Realm whose potential exceeded Mingjing's. After all, the geniuses who had entered the Massacre World were only a portion of the human race.
However, being able to reach sixteenth place was enough to show Mingjing's astonishing potential.
Chu Mu could tell that she was a little lacking. Yes, Mingjing's state back then was a little lacking. Perhaps she had been affected by the man surnamed Ye. Otherwise, if she had performed better, her ranking might have risen by another rank.
The difference of one rank could sometimes have a huge impact, but it was a fact that she had left her name behind, unless it was repeated a month later.
"Mingjing, watch how I suppress you." The corner of the man surnamed Ye's mouth curled into a sneer as he strode forward. His figure was like the wind and lightning, extremely fast. His aura rose steadily, and when he reached the bottom of the Sword Cliff, his aura reached its strongest state.
As if there was a thunderous explosion, the man surnamed Ye turned into a bolt of lightning and soared into the sky. His speed was astonishingly fast, and his explosive power was unparalleled.
In an instant, the man surnamed Ye rushed to a height of five hundred feet. This was like a natural chasm that was difficult to break through. He could not continue rising and could only attack with his sword.
Yes, this man surnamed Ye was also a sword cultivator.
The human race in the Source Realm had the largest population of sword cultivators, and they also had the most inheritances of sword cultivators.
Therefore, most of the human geniuses in the Source Realm practiced swordsmanship.
The man surnamed Ye attacked with his sword. His sword was different from Mingjing's. It had a domineering aura and a thunderous destructive aura.
The Sword Light shone like a thunderbolt, illuminating the surroundings in an instant, making it difficult for people to look at it directly.
Soon, three words appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Ye Jingyun!
It sounded like a very imposing name.
The man surnamed Ye landed, and the name Ye Jingyun emitted an astonishing light. It seemed to be kinder than Mingjing's light.
Immediately after, the name Ye Jingyun also landed between eighty and eighty-nine feet, but it was unknown where it would land.
