Time always passed by without anyone noticing.
Inside the Will Hall, Chen Zong finished his cultivation in the Cultivation Hall on the left. He couldn't help but smile as he felt the vigorous and pure Earth Vein Spiritual Energy fluctuations in his body.
Chen Zong stood in front of the Sword Testing Pillar in the middle of the Will Hall. This Sword Testing Pillar had been replaced many times. Now, it was as hard as a high-grade Spiritual Tool, so it could withstand even more powerful attacks.
Chen Zong's breathing was long and slow. Suddenly, an incomparably sharp ray of cold light shot out from the depths of his eyes, piercing through the air. His right hand moved, and the Heavenly Will Sword had already returned to its scabbard without even the shadow of his palm.
A fine sword light tore through the sky. If the sword light was magnified a hundred times, one would find that it was composed of extremely fast vibrating Sword Qi. It was incomparably sharp and unstoppable.
A clear sword mark had appeared on the high-grade spiritual tool's Sword Testing Pillar. The sword mark was one inch deep, and it was a ghastly sight.
The hardness of a high-grade spirit weapon was much higher than that of a middle-grade spirit weapon. Chen Zong's sword could break a middle-grade spirit weapon that had no external protection, but it could only leave a one-inch sword mark on a high-grade spirit weapon that had no external protection.
Chen Zong estimated that even if he used all his strength, the sword mark would only be a little more than an inch. This was because the deeper the cut, the harder it would be, and the more power it would require, the more energy it would consume.
If cutting one inch required 100 points of power, then cutting two inches would not require 200 points of power, but more than 200 points, or even 300 points of power.
Being able to leave a one-inch sword mark on the Sword Testing Pillar, Chen Zong couldn't help but nod in satisfaction. Not long ago, he would have had to use all his strength.
"It's been a year and a half," Chen Zong withdrew his gaze and looked up at the silver-grey dome of the Will Hall.
It had been a year and a half since he had arrived at the Polar Sky Society. During this time, he had been constantly cultivating, and whether it was his cultivation base, Sword Dao, or other aspects, he had made significant progress. Compared to when he had first arrived at the Polar Sky Society, he was now many times stronger.
"It's just that the period of rapid progress has passed. Next, it will be a gradual improvement." Chen Zong's thoughts began to move.
He would leave this place and go out to gain experience.
Gaining experience would allow him to face battles and life and death crises. Only then would he be able to stimulate his own potential and further strengthen his foundation. Only then would he be able to improve faster and better.
Not only would it be difficult to make much progress, but it would also limit himself and deceive himself.... by the time he would be on the wrong path, it would be too late.
Perhaps it was the will of the heavens, but the three elders with real power sent someone to invite Chen Zong.
Chen Zong came with some confusion. When he arrived at Elder Lu's palace, he found that he was not alone. Elder Lu's disciple, Yu Fei, Elder Wang's disciple, Ou Zhengyang, and a handsome young man in a cyan robe were also there. When Chen Zong arrived, the three of them all looked at Chen Zong.
Yu Fei's eyes flashed. No matter what, he still couldn't forget the battle with Chen Zong a year and a half ago.
Ou Zhengyang was a little curious. This was the third time he had seen Chen Zong. However, during the previous two times, they didn't have any communication. They just saw each other and knew each other.
As for the tall and handsome young man in a cyan robe, Chen Zong saw him for the first time. However, this didn't stop Chen Zong from guessing.
Elder Su's disciple, Gu Qingyun.
Before Chen Zong came, Gu Qingyun was the number one genius in the headquarters. He was even better than Yu Fei and Ou Zhengyang.
Gu Qingyun looked directly at Chen Zong. There was a flash of sharpness in his eyes like a shooting star. His eyes were deep and his expression was calm. No one could guess what he was thinking.
"You're all here." Elder Wang smiled. "Sit down."
Immediately, everyone took their seats.
"I'm sure the four of you are also very curious about this." Elder Su spoke with a slight smile, giving off a wise and farsighted feeling.
"Alright, old man Su. Don't keep us in suspense." Elder Lu was the most impatient one. He said directly, "In the ancient times, there was a great sword Sect called the Sword Sect. Back then, Ming Sword Island was the territory of the Sword Sect."
Chen Zong and the other three listened quietly. They were all shocked.
According to what Elder Lu said, this great sword Sect was equivalent to one of the top 15 forces in the world.
"At that time, the Famed Sword Sect discovered a secret realm. They entered it and started plundering resources. This secret realm produced a type of treasure called Spirit Gold Ore, which can be refined into Spirit Gold. The Spirit Gold has only one use, and that is to increase the Spirit Attribute of a Spirit Weapon, thus increasing its grade." Elder Wang continued Elder Lu's words, his tone solemn.
Chen Zong and the others looked serious.
Spiritual Gold!
It could enhance the spirituality of a Spiritual Weapon and upgrade its grade. It was undoubtedly a terrifying thing.
Think about it. With enough Spiritual Gold, one could upgrade a low-grade Spiritual Weapon to a middle-grade Spiritual Weapon, a middle-grade Spiritual Weapon to an upper-grade Spiritual Weapon, and an upper-grade Spiritual Weapon to a supreme-grade Spiritual Weapon.
The upgrade of a Spiritual Weapon's grade was not only a great increase in value, but also a great increase in power. Think about it. If two people with the same strength were to use a middle-grade Spiritual Weapon, and one of them suddenly changed to an upper-grade Spiritual Weapon, the difference in strength would be obvious.
With enough Spiritual Gold, the overall strength of the ancient Sword Sect could be upgraded to a higher level. That way, the Sword Sect would have a great chance to become the strongest force in the Blue Waves Continent.
"There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. After the Sword Sect mined a part of the Spiritual Gold, the news was leaked. It attracted several other powerful Sect and other forces to form an alliance."
"The Spiritual Gold was very important, and the Sword Sect was incomparably overbearing. They would rather go to war than work with other Sect forces to mine the Spiritual Gold Mine. Inevitably, a war broke out."
With Elder Wang's explanation, Chen Zong and the others also seemed to have entered that era. They entered that tragic battlefield and felt the heat and fierceness of that war.
The main battlefield of that war was the Spiritual Gold Secret Realm.
That war was too fierce. There were countless casualties, and the Spiritual Gold Secret Realm was also greatly affected. In the end, the alliance of several powerful Sect and forces fell apart and suffered heavy losses. At the same time, the Sword Sect also paid a great price. In the end, they all disappeared in the river of history.
More than a thousand years ago, the Spiritual Gold Secret Realm opened once, and it caused a lot of fights. After more than a thousand years, the Spiritual Gold Secret Realm opened again.
Elder Su's words not only allowed Chen Zong and the others to understand some ancient secrets, but also the importance of the Spiritual Gold.
"Now, the Spirit Gold Secret Realm has been opened. According to the situation a thousand years ago, because of the ancient war, the Spirit Gold Secret Realm's internal rules were destroyed. Profound Sky Realm cultivators can't enter. Only those below the Profound Sky Realm can enter. Elder Su said, "After more than a thousand years, we still don't know if the Spiritual Gold Secret Realm opened this time has any restrictions on cultivation. But we must all be prepared."
"If it's like a thousand years ago, and the Profound Sky Realm can't enter, we will prepare to let the Earth Spirit Realm warriors enter."
If the Profound Sky Realm warriors couldn't enter the Spiritual Gold Secret Realm, then the Earth Spirit Realm warriors would become the main force. As for the Extreme Mortal Realm warriors, they wouldn't be able to do anything. After all, the difference between them and the Earth Spirit Realm warriors was too big. An Earth Spirit Realm warrior could easily defeat a group of Extreme Mortal Realm warriors.
Chen Zong and the other three's eyes suddenly lit up.
"The four of you have outstanding talents and great potential. Normally, we won't allow you to enter a place like the Spiritual Gold Secret Realm and take risks." Elder Su said seriously, "But if you don't go through hardships, how can you grow better?"
"Flowers in a greenhouse are beautiful, but useless." Elder Lu suddenly said. Chen Zong and the others agreed with his words.
"Master, with the Skyscraper Association's way of doing things, won't they forcibly take over the Spiritual Gold Secret Realm?" Yu Fei couldn't help but ask.
Indeed, the Skyscraper Association was overbearing and unscrupulous. Now that the Spiritual Gold Secret Realm was an important secret realm, the Skyscraper Association had no reason to let it go. They might even use force to take over the Spiritual Gold Secret Realm. Unless the other factions had Thearch-Ranked martial artists, they wouldn't be able to go against the Skyscraper Association.
What's more, besides the Extreme Sky Association, the other factions' encampments were clear. If there was a conflict, there would be nowhere to hide.
"The Spiritual Gold Secret Realm isn't simple. It's located in a section of the Famed Sword Mountain Range, close to the Nine-Star Continent. Hence, this time, the Nine-Star Sky Sect and other factions from the Nine-Star Continent will enter as well." Elder Su explained, "Although the Skyscraper Association is powerful, compared to the Nine-Star Sky Sect, there is still a gap. It's impossible for them to take over the Spiritual Gold Secret Realm."
Chen Zong and the others suddenly understood.
Indeed, the Ferris Sky Society was powerful not only because they had many formidable martial artists but also because they had a Thearch-Ranked formidable martial artist. However, the Nine-Star Sky Sect's history, foundation, and other aspects were all superior to the Ferris Sky Society.
There were at least two Thearch-Ranked martial artists in the Nine-Star Sky Sect.
All in all, the Skyscraper Association couldn't afford to offend the Nine-Star Sky Sect. Of course, the Skyscraper Association couldn't afford to offend the Ultimate Yuan Sky Sect either. However, the two were quite far apart, and the Nine-Star Sky Sect was right next door.
"This time, according to preliminary estimates, the Earth Spirit Realm martial artists from the various factions of the Bright Sword Continent and the Nine-Star Continent will enter the Spiritual Gold Secret Realm to search for Spiritual Gold Mines. Elder Su continued, "I can see what the four of you are thinking. All of you want to enter the secret realm. Although your talents and potential aren't bad and your cultivation levels aren't weak among your peers, it's still not enough for the entire Earth Spirit Realm. What's more, the various factions also have their own prodigies who aren't inferior to you and might even be better than you."
"Remember, you must stay alive. You must gain experience and try your best to search for Spiritual Gold Mines. However, you must ensure your own safety first."
"Of course, all of this is just speculation. Perhaps when the Spiritual Gold Secret Realm opens, even Profound Heaven Realm martial artists will be able to enter. At that time, you won't be able to enter."
