The Sword Pool was the place where the Sect Masters of the Eight Poles Sword Sect cultivated. Only the Sect Masters were qualified to enter. Other Sect Masters, even Ninth Tribulation Experts, had no right to enter.
At the entrance of the valley, the two Ninth Tribulation Experts came to the side of the boulder with strange looks on their faces.
The boulder was about 300 feet high and no less than 100 feet wide. It looked more like a small stone mountain.
What attracted the two Ninth Tribulation Experts was not the boulder itself, but the two bold words engraved on the boulder … Sword Pool!
These two words could be said to be written in a flamboyant and vigorous manner. Just by looking at it, it gave people a feeling of being deeply immersed in it.
Of course, if a mortal came here, he would naturally not be able to see the slightest secret. The higher the cultivation of the cultivator, the more he would feel that there was a lot of meaning behind these two words.
For the top existences of the Cultivation World like the Nine Tribulations, when they looked at these two words, they felt that it seemed to contain the truth of the universe of thousands of worlds. It was as unfathomable as the vast sea of stars.
After staring at it for a while longer, the two Ninth Tribulation experts suddenly felt that there were countless incomparably sharp sword lights coming at them. It seemed that if they stayed where they were for even a moment longer, they would be crushed into pieces by these sword lights.
Therefore, Li You and Gengjia both subconsciously flew back after exclaiming in surprise. Although in fact, there was no sword light coming at them, the two Ninth Tribulation Experts each spat out a mouthful of blood after stabilizing their bodies. They looked like they had suffered a great setback.
The two did not suffer much damage. It was just that their minds were in a mess just now, so it only took them a moment to recover. Gengjia exclaimed, "The senior who carved these two words has a very deep realm!"
"It was probably carved by an ancient sword expert before the realms were divided." Li You nodded and said.
"Two Fellow Daoists have come from afar. Please forgive me for not coming out to greet you."
At this moment, an old man in a wrinkled gray robe walked out of the valley. After waving his fist, he greeted them with a smile.
Being able to walk out of the Sword Pool, the identity of this old man was obvious. He was the Sect Master of the Eight Poles Sword Sect.
"Fellow Daoist, you're too polite."
Li You and Gengjia immediately regained their normal expressions and responded politely.
"Fellow Daoists, you've come to my Eight Poles Sword Sect. This is a remote and desolate place, so we don't have much to offer you. The Sword Sect's Master walked over to them and spoke courteously, yet he didn't intend to invite them into the Sword Pool.
Only the Sword Sect's Sect Master could enter the Sword Pool. Even the experts of the Sword Sect couldn't enter, let alone people from other sects.
Right after he finished speaking, the Sword Sect Leader waved his sleeve, and a stone table and three stone stools appeared before the three of them.
The cultivators of the Eight Extremes Sword Sect had always been bitterly cultivating. Moreover, there were no outsiders in the Eight Extremes Continent, so they didn't need to build any immortal caves, nor did they have any rooms to entertain guests.
"Fellow Daoists, please take a seat."
As the Sword Sect Master spoke, he brought out a pot of fragrant tea and a few jade teacups.
After the tea was filled, the Sword Sect's Master asked, "Fellow Daoists, may I know why you've come from afar?"
Gengjia took the teacup and spoke first, "Fellow Daoist should know about the matter between the Tai Yi Immortal Sect and the Black Blood Demon, right?"
The Sword Sect's Master nodded and smiled, "Hehe, although I lock myself in the Sword Pool every day, I still know a little about such a big matter."
Li You took a sip of tea and asked, "Then Fellow Daoist should also know about Xiao Lingyu, right?"
The Sword Sect's Master touched the teacup with his finger and said with a calm expression, "I know a little about her."
"We came here to talk about this Xiao Lingyu …"
"Hehe, you two Fellow Daoists can't be thinking of involving my Eight Poles Sword Sect in the dispute between you two, right? You all know that our Eight Poles Sword Sect rarely interferes with the matters of the Cultivation World, and we don't want to cause any unnecessary trouble. "The Sword Sect's Master didn't wait for Li You to finish speaking and continued with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist, you're wrong. This time, the two of us came to ask the Eight Poles Sword Sect to help us take revenge. This matter is related to your Sword Sect." Li You narrowed his eyes and said.
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details. "The Sword Sect's Master spoke with slight surprise. He didn't understand how this matter could be related to the Eight Poles Sword Sect.
"Fellow Daoist and the experts of the Sword Sect rarely travel to the Cultivation World, so you probably don't know that Xiao Lingyu carries an ancient divine sword …."
"Cultivators of our Sword Sect aren't very interested in the treasures of others, and it's the same even if it's a divine sword." The Sword Sect's Master continued.
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be impatient. Let me finish."
Li You shook his head and said, "That divine sword is called … Merciless!"
"What?!"
The Sword Sect's Master immediately stood up when he heard this, and his expression changed drastically as he asked with disbelief, "Fellow Daoist, are you really sure that his divine sword is Merciless?"
Li You was very satisfied with the Sword Sect's Master's reaction and answered indifferently, "How could I dare speak rashly about such a big matter?"
"If it really is Merciless, then it really is related to my Sword Sect." After the Sword Sect's Master sat down, his expression seemed to be slightly complicated while his eyes flickered slightly. He was probably scheming something in his heart.
After pondering deeply for a moment, the Sword Sect's Master's expression returned to normal, and he said, "Since both of you have come to inform me of this, then I presume you're aware that Merciless is a Divine Artifact from the ancient times. Moreover, it was personally created by the founding ancestor of my Sword Sect. Fundamentally speaking, Merciless belongs to my Eight Poles Sword Sect, so we ought to take it back."
"Of course." Gengjia nodded in agreement.
"However, both of you have rather deep enmity with Xiao Lingyu, so it just so happens that we can cooperate this time. I presume both of you don't have any objections, right?" The Sword Sect's Master spoke indifferently.
"Once it's done, Merciless will belong to the Eight Poles Sword Sect, and that kid's other treasures will belong to both of us." Li You replied in an extremely direct manner.
"Aside from Merciless, our Eight Poles Sword Sect won't be greedy for anything else." The Sword Sect's Master finished his cup of tea in one gulp.
Xiao Lingyu who was rushing towards the Chaotic Astral Ocean at full speed didn't know that after he'd successively destroyed two top-rate clans of the cultivation world, he'd become the target of the only remaining top-rate sect.
There were only a few decades left before he ascended, so Xiao Lingyu didn't want to waste a single second.
On a cultivation continent that was relatively close to the Chaotic Astral Ocean, Xiao Lingyu had just used the Tracking Spirit Mirror when the space beside him suddenly fluctuated, and then a young cultivator appeared by his side.
A short moment later, space fluctuated once more, and an obedient little girl appeared.
"Eh? It's you! "Xiao Lingyu immediately exclaimed when he saw the little girl because he recognized her.
This little girl was the one who'd appeared on the Feiyu Continent and claimed to be Jiang Lanyue's younger sister. She could be considered to have helped Xiao Lingyu in the past.
"If it's not me, then who is it?" the little girl replied unhappily.
"You two know each other?" the young cultivator frowned and asked the little girl.
"We know each other, but we're not very close."
The little girl first replied to the young cultivator, then said to Xiao Lingyu, "It's been so many years, but you haven't improved much. At this rate, when will you be able to go to the God Realm?"
Xiao Lingyu suddenly felt a headache coming on. His rate of improvement could be said to be extremely rare in the Cultivation World, but he still couldn't satisfy this little girl. However, when he thought of the fact that the other party was from the Immortal Realm, he didn't try to explain himself, and he wouldn't fuss about it in his heart.
"He should have cultivated for less than a thousand years, and he's cultivating the Primal Chaos Energy. It's already considered very fast for him to have such achievements."
Xiao Lingyu was very satisfied with the young cultivator's reply. However, the young cultivator continued, "It's originally a great opportunity for him to cultivate the Primal Chaos Energy. However, his Primal Chaos Energy has been demonized, and he's not on the right path. I'm afraid something will happen to him sooner or later. It's already not easy for him to go to the Immortal World, so it's almost impossible for him to ascend to the God Realm."
This sentence made Xiao Lingyu's mood, which had improved slightly, fall again.
Xiao Lingyu still didn't say anything because he was trying to assess the situation. These two people had appeared in front of him one after the other. It was too sudden and strange, so he had to be careful.
First of all, Xiao Lingyu thought that this young cultivator might also be from the God Realm. This was because he couldn't see his cultivation level at all, and he couldn't even catch a trace of his aura.
Even though he was very worried, Xiao Lingyu didn't think of running away quickly. This was because he had no chance of escaping in front of this young cultivator. The difference in their strength was too great.
"Hey! Why are you looking for him? "The little girl asked the young cultivator.
"Since you're not very familiar with him, why I'm looking for him has nothing to do with you."
After the young cultivator replied, his eyes shone. With just a glance, his face darkened, and he shouted, "My master's treasure was really stolen by you. How dare you!"
After shouting, the young cultivator's aura surged out and instantly sealed off a large area of the surrounding space.
However, what the young cultivator didn't expect was that just as his aura sealed off the space, the little girl beside him wrinkled her nose and shouted. The originally sealed space returned to normal.
The young cultivator was about to flash to Xiao Lingyu's side, but before he could do so, the little girl was already standing beside Xiao Lingyu. She even stretched out a jade-like finger and asked, "What are you trying to do?"
"This has nothing to do with you. You'd better get out of the way!" The young cultivator refused to back down.
"I said it has something to do with me. If you don't explain it clearly, I won't let you touch him." The little girl stood in front of Xiao Lingyu and looked like she was going to stand up for her master.
"To tell you the truth, I came to the Lower Realm this time on the orders of my master to retrieve his treasure. That treasure is currently in this brat's sea of consciousness!" The young cultivator said with a heavy face.
"Your master must be an old monster at the top of the God Realm. How could he leave his treasure in the Cultivation World? Don't tell me you see that he has a treasure on him and want to rob him? "The little girl said unconvinced.
"Hmph! I won't lie. If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being impolite. "The young cultivator said a little anxiously.
"Hehe, I haven't fought for many years. If I'm afraid of you, I'm not your grandaunt! Do you think you can beat me? "The little girl laughed fearlessly.
