In midair, Ling Xian's interest was piqued, "Senior, please tell me more."
"The Sword House has a long history and is one of the most powerful forces in the City of Saints. There are many monsters who are not weaker than me."
"If the Hall of Heavenly Seals is the holy land of Talismans, then the Sword House is the holy land of swords."
"The Sword House has two treasures. One is the Sword Mound, the other is the Sword Manual."
"Let's talk about the former first. After the powerhouses of the Sword House fall, they leave their swords there. Without exception, they are all swords with spirituality."
"Most sword cultivators want to enter the Sword Mound and obtain a sword that is compatible with them."
The Elder of Nine Swords explained in simple terms.
"It is a good place. To sword cultivators, it is very attractive."
Ling Xian grinned, "But, it is not easy to enter. No matter how selfless a force is, they will not give away their swords for free."
"You are right. The Sword Mound is not a place anyone can enter. Only those who have contributed to the Sword Mound are allowed to enter once."
The Elder of Nine Swords grinned, "As for whether or not you can get a sword, it depends on your luck."
"Make contributions?"
Ling Xian laughed, "It is easy for the Sword House to contribute, but how can outsiders do it?"
"Then, we will have to talk about the Sword House's other treasure, the Sword Manual."
"The Sword Manual is an unparalleled treasure that hides an infinite amount of sword techniques. However, only those with high enlightenment can understand it."
"This is why the Sword House has not been able to understand it for tens of thousands of years."
"It is because of this treasure that the Sword House holds the Gathering of the Swords."
The Elder of Nine Swords paused and continued, "During the gathering, the Sword House will bring out the Sword Manual for people to learn."
"If you learn a sword technique, you can give it to the Sword House and exchange it for the right to enter the Sword Mound."
"Of course, not all sword techniques can be exchanged for the qualification to enter the Sword Tomb. Only sword techniques that have reached the level of a supreme Divine Ability can do so."
"Therefore, I hope you can participate in the Gathering of the Great Swords. With your enlightenment ability, even if you can't learn a supreme technique, you will be able to learn a great technique." "Now that you mention it, I really want to go," Elder Ling Xian said with a smile.
Ling Xian faintly grinned. Ignoring whether or not he can enter the Sword Grave, the opportunity to study the Encyclopedia of the Way of the Sword was extremely valuable.
He didn't need to pay any price to obtain a Great Divine Skill or even a Supreme Divine Skill. Naturally, he was tempted.
"Swordplay manuals are the ultimate treasures of swordsmanship. Not only do they contain infinite sword techniques, but they also contain the ultimate truth of swordsmanship. You mustn't miss out on them," the Elder of Nine Abandonments said seriously.
"I understand. We naturally can't miss such a miraculous treasure."
Ling Xian nodded softly, "Senior, you must have studied the Encyclopedia of the Sword before."
"My fifth sword technique is derived from the sword manual."
"That was a Supreme Divine Skill Sword Art. It gave me the opportunity to enter the Sword Catacomb and gave me an extraordinary sword."
The Nine Abandonment Elder's eyes were filled with nostalgia as he lamented, "That was many years ago. Now, that sword art has been modified by me and has become my Fifth Sword. I have also given that sword to the Fan girl."
Hearing this, Ling Xian's interest intensified.
The Sword Catacomb wasn't that attractive to him. After all, he had three heavenly swords made from immortal metals and didn't need other swords.
However, to him, the Encyclopedia of the Sword was no less attractive than the Hall of Heavenly Seals.
This object was far too mysterious. Not only did it contain infinite sword techniques, but it also contained the ultimate truth of swordsmanship. Even those who weren't trained in swordsmanship would find it hard to resist.
Ling Xian said, "Senior, please tell me the time and place."
"The time is in three months. You just need to travel west."
The Elder of Nine Abandonments looked at Ling Xian with a smile, "I will go and pick up the Fan girl first. Then, I will depart for the Sword House."
"Then I will bid my farewells. See you at the Gathering of the Swords."
Chuckling, Ling Xian's silhouette faded and disappeared.
…
The Sword House was the oldest and strongest force in the City of Holiness.
It had deep resources and countless powerhouses. No matter how many tens of thousands of years had passed, the Sword House still stood at the peak of the Holy Ancient City.
It was not exaggerating to say that the Sword House was a giant. Even the immortal clans from the Bei Dou Planet could not compare to it.
At this moment, Ling Xian arrived at the Sword House. More accurately, he arrived at the foot of the Sword House's mountain.
This place was not in the middle of nowhere. It was a marketplace. Like a small town, it was extremely lively and had everything one could need.
"What a terrifying sword's will. Even though I am thousands of feet away, it makes me shudder."
Staring at the mountain peak that was as tall as a sword and pierced through the clouds, Ling Xian's gaze froze and his expression changed.
The sword's will was far too strong. It did not lose out to the Elder of Nine Abandonments in the slightest. In fact, it was even stronger.
"This must be the famous Mountain of Splitting Skies," Ling Xian muttered.
On his way to the Sword House, he found out a lot of information about the Sword House. Other than the two treasures, the most famous was the mountain peak before him.
This mountain was named Splitting Skies. It was originally a normal mountain peak. However, under the refinement of generations of powerhouses, it has become a treasure comparable to a Zun Zun Weapon.
In other words, this was one of the Sword House's strongest secrets. Combined with the Mountain Defense Array, even if a ninth leveled cultivator came, they would have to suffer.
"If this mountain transforms into a spiritual kind, it will become a God and be undefeatable."
Ling Xian exclaimed. Then, he retracted his gaze and looked at the crowded marketplace.
The Gathering of the Sword was about to begin. The number of cultivators who came was countless. Therefore, the originally quiet marketplace became lively. It did not lose out to the capital.
"There are still two months until the Gathering of the Sword. During this period of time, I will rest here."
Ling Xian faintly grinned. Then, he marched forward in giant steps and entered the marketplace.
At first, he was not very interested. After all, he was already a cultivator of the Extraordinary Realm. It was hard for normal items to attract his interest.
However, when he saw a battle ring, his interest was piqued.
To everyone's knowledge, battle rings were places to compete. This battle ring was no exception. However, there was one difference.
This battle ring did not compete based on cultivation level, only swords.
Those who win 10 battles in a row can acquire a sword technique. Those who win 100 battles in a row can acquire the lowest level Sword Quenching Stone.
Ling Xian was not interested in the former. However, the latter made his heart flutter.
Just like its name suggests, the Sword Quenching Stone's ability was to refine swords and make them sharper. It was a treasure.
Before, Ling Xian had never found one, nor did he try to find one. Now that he had, he had the thought of fighting for it.
"Perfect, I am also interested in swords."
Ling Xian faintly grinned. Watching the two men competing on the battle ring, he waited patiently.
After a while, one of them dropped his sword and admitted defeat.
"He has won nine battles in a row. Just one more step and he will acquire a sword technique!"
"This person is not ordinary. If I am not wrong, he is about to find out about the sword's intent."
"Yeah, winning nine battles in a row is enough to prove his extraordinariness!"
Everyone who was watching the battle discussed. Some wanted him to win 10 battles in a row, others wanted him to lose.
"Does anyone else want to challenge me?"
The young man in white on the battle ring spoke. His sword was pointing downwards. He had the demeanor of a master.
Seeing this, Ling Xian's silhouette flashed. Like an immortal, he landed on the battle ring.
