Four hundred kilometers was not very far, but it was not an easy journey if one considered the fact that it was mainly mountainous.
Perhaps they could travel on their swords in Green Ruins, so they would only need around two hours to reach their destination, but Zhou Guiyi was only an Awakening cultivator. Affected by his speed, it was already the afternoon of the next day when the two of them actually arrived at the ancestral grounds of the Myriad Swords Mountain.
The ancestral grounds of the Myriad Swords Mountain were below a mountain.
It was not strange for various mountain peaks to appear in the Desolate Cloud Mountain Range, but the mountain peak in front of him had suddenly appeared in the middle of a forest. Even though it looked like it was only five to six hundred meters tall, and the area it occupied could not be considered wide, it appeared extremely awkward, as though there was a mysterious force pulling the mountain peak out of the ground, and it stood in the middle of the forest.
"Up ahead is the ancestral grounds of our Myriad Swords Mountain."
Zhou Guiyi said carefully to the strange mountain as he led the way.
Tsing Hui stared at the mountain for a while. He could vaguely sense that there was something strange about the mountain …
It seemed like …
A sword blade?
Zhou Guiyi seemed to be able to guess Tsing Hui's doubts. He hurriedly explained, "This mountain looks like a sword blade. The name of our Myriad Swords Mountain comes from this sword-shaped mountain. This is the birthplace of our Myriad Swords Mountain. It's said that the founding ancestor of our Myriad Swords Mountain meditated under this mountain for ten days and nights. He suddenly comprehended sword intent and cultivated sword aura, reaching the third level of Eternal Life. From then on, he founded the Myriad Swords Mountain and began our glorious legacy … But now, the Myriad Swords Mountain is no longer as prosperous as it was in the past."
Zhou Guiyi's face became gloomy when he reached there.
Tsing Hui did not reply. He continued forward slowly.
In reality, he could already see many traces of human activity along the way. There were also many buildings like pavilions that had been abandoned for a long time. However, as the Myriad Swords Mountain had shifted its focus to the outskirts of the Desolate Cloud Mountain Range, the ancestral grounds lacked effective maintenance, which was why the pavilions gradually became abandoned.
"If I've guessed correctly, there must be many experts in the ancestral grounds of the Myriad Swords Mountain. Don't tell me the person waiting for me is a Refined and Anatta realm expert."
Tsing Hui said as he looked at the faintly discernible buildings in front of him.
These words immediately made Zhou Guiyi's heart tighten. He hurriedly explained, "No, no, our Ten Thousand Swords Mountain only has one True Energy Realm existence, and that is the Supreme Elder. If we really had several True Energy Realm experts, we wouldn't have taken the initiative to show weakness to the Lorraine Royal Family and even let the Sect Leader's daughter marry into the Royal Family to seek peace. Although there are elders in the Ancestral Land, there are two seniors at the peak of Immortality Realm. One of them is here in seclusion to break through to the True Energy Realm, and the other is in charge of guarding the Ancestral Land."
Tsing Hui did not say anything else.
Even if he were to encounter a true qi practitioner, he would not necessarily be afraid.
When both the Green Firmament Sword and the Green Profound Sword were unleashed, the number of True Qi Realm experts who could block them could be counted on one hand.
The Ancestral Land of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain was often used as a last resort. When the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain was forced into a corner, the Ancestral Land naturally ushered in a period of prosperity. However, cultivators were also ordinary people. How many of them could really live in seclusion in the mountains and forests?
As the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain re-established its mountain gate on the outskirts of the Yunhuang Mountain Range, 99% of the disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain had left the Ancestral Land. Currently, there were less than 20 people living in the Ancestral Land. As Zhou Guiyi said, there were only two powerhouses at the peak of the Awakening Realm guarding the Ancestral Land.
It was precisely because there were so few people that many buildings were gradually abandoned deep in the mountains because no one lived in them.
"Elder Zhou?"
"Elder Zhou, why are you here?"
Before the two of them stepped into the Ancestral Land, the two disciples in charge of patrolling had already greeted them.
"Go and invite Elder Yun Feng and Elder Yun Liao here. Tell them that Prince Tsing Hui has come to visit."
Zhou Guiyi wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead and hurriedly said.
"Yes."
The two disciples did not know what was going on, but they still responded. One of them led the way in front, while the other returned to the sparsely populated buildings in front of them.
"There's no need. I've already sensed the location of the two elders!"
Tsing Hui said. Then, he suddenly moved and went straight to the core buildings of the Ancestral Land of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain.
If there were really powerhouses at the True Qi Realm in the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, he would naturally take the initiative and kill them before they could react with the advantage of the Green Cloud Sword and Qingxuan Sword. He would not let these people know in advance that the experts of the Ancestral Land of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain would ambush him.
"Prince Tsing Hui, please wait for me …"
Zhou Guiyi said and hurriedly followed him.
Fortunately, there were no powerhouses at the True Qi Realm in the Ancestral Land of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain. Although Tsing Hui had attracted the attention of the two Guardian Elders of the Ancestral Land, judging from the aura emitted by the two Guardian Elders, they were indeed in the Immortality Realm. It was only because they had been cultivating for a long time that their aura was quite thick and long.
"Who are you!?"
"Zhou Guiyi? Are you the one who brought him here? How can he be so rude and barge into the Ancestral Land? "
Soon, the two Elders, Yun Feng and Yun Liao, came forward and scolded Tsing Hui and Zhou Guiyi sternly.
Zhou Guiyi hurriedly explained with a bitter smile, "This is Prince Tsing Hui."
"Prince Tsing Hui!?"
Yun Feng and Yun Liao were slightly shocked when they heard this name. Then, their expressions changed drastically.
"Zhou Guiyi, you …"
Zhou Guiyi met Elder Yun Liao's angry gaze and said in a deep voice, "A wise man submits to circumstances. Elders, even the Sect Leader, Great Elder, and Junior Sect Leader couldn't do anything to Prince Tsing Hui even when they worked together. Instead, they were killed by Prince Tsing Hui. If we resist, we will only die. Fortunately, Prince Tsing Hui is magnanimous and is willing to give us a way out. As long as we can offer the treasures our sect has collected over the years to Prince Tsing Hui, Prince Tsing Hui is willing to spare us. Therefore, please don't make a mistake."
"You …"
Yun Feng and Yun Liao looked sullen and angry, but more than that, they were unwilling to accept it. "Are the Great Elder, Sect Leader, and Junior Sect Leader really dead?"
"The Great Elder's sword has fallen into Prince Tsing Hui's hands. How can it be fake?"
Zhou Guiyi said.
Yun Feng and Yun Liao exchanged glances with each other, their faces bitter.
In the end, the two could only step aside and salute Tsing Hui. "Thank you, Prince Tsing Hui, for sparing our lives."
"Guiyi, take Prince Tsing Hui to the Rare Treasure Cave."
"Yes."
Zhou Guiyi answered respectfully after receiving the order. Then, he gestured to Tsing Hui with his hand. "Prince Tsing Hui, please follow me."
Tsing Hui glanced at Yun Feng and Yun Liao, then looked at Zhou Guiyi. He instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what the problem was. He immediately followed Zhou Guiyi without saying a word, heading towards the cave behind the buildings that seemed to have been dug through the mountain.
As the group stepped into the cave, Tsing Hui immediately felt a faint sense of oppression coming from the cave.
This sense of oppression didn't come from some top mighty figure in the cave, but from a kind of pressure on the spiritual level.
No!
Not the spiritual!
But the sword intent!
The pressure on the sword intent level!
"There's a divine weapon that contains sword intent in the ancestral land of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain!?"
Tsing Hui's eyes lit up slightly.
Before he had obtained the Taiyi Sword, he could only generate sword intent when his fighting spirit was stimulated and his energy, Qi, and spirit rose to the extreme along with his fighting spirit. Later, with the help of the Taiyi Sword, he was able to stabilize the state of sword intent and use it freely.
Unfortunately, the sword intent in the Taiyi Sword was limited. After he could use it freely, its effect was greatly reduced, and it could no longer bring much of a tempering effect to his sword intent.
But now …
He couldn't see the divine sword, but he could already feel the invisible pressure …
Just how powerful was the sword intent contained in that divine sword!?
"The core of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain's ancestral land is in front of us. Many of our treasures are in there. Prince Tsing Hui, please."
Zhou Guiyi gestured with his hand as he spoke.
Tsing Hui couldn't wait to see the sword intent contained in the divine weapon inside the cave. He immediately leaped and went straight into the cave.
However, just as Tsing Hui was distracted by the sword intent in the cave and relaxed his mind a hundred meters into the cave, Zhou Guiyi suddenly retreated. He exerted his late-stage Awakening Realm speed to the extreme and rushed out of the cave as fast as he could.
"Huh!?"
The sudden change made Tsing Hui keenly aware of the danger, and he quickly retreated.
However, even though he had the Green Cloud Sword in his hand, and his Sword Qi was comparable to that of a True Qi Realm expert, he couldn't compare to a Late Awakening Realm expert in terms of speed. Especially a Late Awakening Realm expert who was proficient in movement techniques. In addition, Zhou Guiyi had the upper hand. In the blink of an eye, Zhou Guiyi had rushed dozens of meters away, almost out of the cave. Then, he hit a mechanism outside the cave with force, and the cave corridor rumbled. Pieces of Dragon Snapping Stones quickly slid down and completely sealed the cave.
"Hahaha, Cho Tsing Hui, so what if you have a divine weapon? In the end, you still fall into my hands. The ancestral land is the last foundation of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain. It has killed great enemies for us more than once. Today, you will also die here! "
Outside the Broken Dragon Stones, Zhou Guiyi's laughter, as if he had succeeded in his scheme, was suddenly heard.
"You think a mere cave can stop me? You underestimate the power of a third-stage divine weapon. "
Tsing Hui looked at the sealed escape route in front of him with a cold expression. He stabbed out with the Green Cloud Sword, and the stone in front of him was torn open as if it was tofu.
"A cave can't stop you, but as long as you can't dig through the mountain wall in a day and get a thousand meters away from this mountain peak, when the power in the cave erupts, you will die."
"The power in the cave!?"
Tsing Hui's heart skipped a beat.
A cave or even an ordinary trap couldn't trap an immortal-level expert like him, but if there was some kind of mysterious power in the cave …
"Cho Tsing Hui, wait for your death in the cave. After a day, we will raise the Broken Dragon Stones. By then, the third-stage divine weapon and fourth-stage flying sword in your hands will be mine. I, Cho Tsing Hui, will use these two divine weapons to ascend to the throne of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain's leader, and eventually overthrow the Lorraine royal family's rule and dominate the Lorraine Kingdom. I have to thank you for all of this, hahaha …"
