Late at night, a cold wind blew. It was snowing again in the Tai Ah Divine City. ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲,
There had been two instances of snow in the past few days of the rookie ranking competition.
For a city like the Tai Ah Divine City, there were layers of arrays set up. Once the arrays were activated, the city would be as warm as spring all year round. However, this would waste a large amount of energy, so there was no need. The Yuan Qi gathered by the Tai Ah Divine City's arrays was for warriors to cultivate.
Yi Yun walked alone on the streets. With every step he took, he could hear the "creak, creak" sound of the snow being compacted.
On both sides of the streets, there were rows of houses that exuded an ancient aura.
Yi Yun kept thinking back to the battle during the day.
Chu Xiaoran and Qiuniu's strength was not to be doubted. Most importantly, they had their own specialties and strengths.
Chu Xiaoran's nomological insight, Qiuniu's strong body …
The two of them were so strong in their own areas that it made people feel helpless. They did not have the confidence to face them!
Of course, Yi Yun did not lack confidence. Chu Xiaoran and Qiuniu were strong, but Yi Yun had the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique'.
But the problem was …
The 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique' was not Yi Yun's strong point.
The 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique' was strong. A warrior who mastered the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique' could easily crush a warrior with an average cultivation technique. Fighting someone a level higher than them was as simple as eating and drinking.
But … the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique' was not a 'strong point'!
The 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique' was an absolute suppression of strength. If he were to face someone who also knew the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique', or someone who had a higher level of the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique', like Qin Haotian! Then, the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique's' advantage would be gone. What was left was a competition of other aspects.
Comparing strength, Laws, speed, and combat experience …
Then what was his advantage? What did he have to beat Qin Haotian?
At the same level. He would probably lose!
Yi Yun suddenly felt that his combat strength was too weak. Other than the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique' and the large success stage of Minute Subtlety, he had no other advantages.
Yi Yun was very ambitious. A typical warrior would be excited to master the legendary 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique' in a short period of time. But Yi Yun felt that this was not enough. He needed to strengthen himself in all aspects. To be an all-rounder without weaknesses!
For example … saber techniques!
Yi Yun's saber techniques had always been weak. It should be said that he did not have any saber techniques.
The saber techniques that were derived from the Nine Mysterious Swords of Heaven were simply unsightly to an expert.
With this thought in mind, Yi Yun changed his direction. He walked along a street for fifteen minutes before he stopped in front of a palace.
Raising his head, he saw that there was a plaque that was about three meters long hanging above the palace. There were three large words written on it: Sword Scar Palace!
Every single stroke of the three words exuded a sharp aura. With a single glance, one could tell that it was the work of a grandmaster.
Yi Yun had long heard of the Sword Scar Palace and had always wanted to see it. It was a place where the cultivators in the Tai Ah Divine City used to hone their compatibility with their weapons.
The Sword Scar Palace required a thousand dragon scale runes to enter for two hours. It was the same as the Wilderness Divine Hall.
Now to Yi Yun. A thousand dragon scale runes was nothing. After paying the dragon scale runes, Yi Yun entered the palace.
The palace was not big and it was right in the middle of the palace. There was a large square stone. This large stone was an Everlasting Stone produced by the Divine Wasteland. Once something was engraved on this stone, even if it was placed in the wild for millions of years, the engraved marks would not be erased by the wind.
The stone walls surrounding the Eternal Rock were filled with all sorts of marks. These marks were left behind by the Sages of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom. There were sword marks, saber marks, claw marks and fist marks!
No matter what weapon was used, the corresponding marks could be found in the Sword Scar Palace. Amongst these marks, there were offensive concepts left behind by the attacker.
Coming to the Sword Scar Palace was to gain insight into these concepts.
Just as Yi Yun was about to begin his meditation, he saw a person from the corner of his eye.
It was a thin old man. His hair and beard were messy like straw. What was strange was that there was a blood-colored gem embedded in the middle of the old man's eyebrows. Under the illumination of the hall's lamps, it shone brightly.
At this moment, the old man was dressed in a loose gray robe. He was comfortably reclining on a wooden armchair. His eyes were half closed, and he was so comfortable that he was about to fall asleep.
Beside the old man was a table. On the table was a fruit platter filled with crystal-like grapes.
From time to time, the old man would stretch out his hand and lazily pluck a grape into his mouth. He looked like he was enjoying it.
"Senior, you are here too?"
Yi Yun was stunned. He had seen this old man once before. The blood-colored gem in the middle of his eyebrows had left a deep impression on Yi Yun.
Back when Yi Yun went to the Wilderness Divine Hall to absorb the primordial species' energy, he happened to meet this old man when he came out of the divine hall. He attacked without any warning and defeated Yi Yun in one move. He then reprimanded Yi Yun, saying that Yi Yun's saber techniques were lacking.
Back then, the old man recommended Yi Yun to come to the Sword Scar Palace. Yi Yun really came here, but he never expected to meet him again.
The old man opened his eyes and glanced at Yi Yun. He laughed, "Kid, you finally remember this old man is here?"
"Greetings, senior." Yi Yun cupped his hands and bowed, "I am here to gain insight from the Sages' saber marks."
"Saber marks, Ze Ze!" The old man plucked a grape and threw it into his mouth. He shook his head and said, "Gaining insight from saber marks … Do you know which place in the Tai Ah Divine City's Sword Scar Palace has the deepest saber mark concept?"
Yi Yun shook his head in response to the old man's question, "I do not know."
The old man chuckled. It was as if he had expected Yi Yun to say this. He said, "I'll bring you to a good place. I guarantee you will benefit greatly!"
Hearing the old man's words, Yi Yun was delighted. It was great to have someone to give him pointers.
"Thank you, senior."
"Hehe, it's no big deal!" The old man waved his hand and suddenly thought of something, "Right …"
The old man stretched his right hand in front of Yi Yun's eyes. He pinched his thumb and index finger together and revealed a wretched smile, "Did you bring enough dragon scale runes? The place I'm bringing you to will require an additional fee. "
Yi Yun was stunned for a moment before he smiled, "I brought enough."
Additional dragon scale runes? That was nothing!
In terms of dragon scale runes, Yi Yun had 100,000. There were probably not many places in the Tai Ah Divine City that he could not enter.
Now, Yi Yun did not care about the price when using cultivation resources. He only wanted the best.
"Oh … That's good!" The old man gave a look of relief. He said, "The place I'll bring you to in a while will require 10,000 dragon scale runes. At the same time … you will need to pay a glory point. Right, do you have any glory points left? Didn't you hand over the primordial herb once? You should have gained quite a bit, right? "
The old man asked with a grin. When Yi Yun heard this, he froze.
What!?
10,000 dragon scale runes … and a glory point!
Did he hear wrong!?
Although he did not care about the price and only wanted the best, there was no reason to charge in such a manner.
Was this robbery!?
Looking at the old man's wretched smile, Yi Yun felt a chill. This old guy looked like an old cheat. Could he be scamming him!?
"Senior, are you sure you're not mistaken? This junior only spent two glory points to buy the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique' … "
Yi Yun's question was rather tactful.
The old man shook his head like a rattle drum, "How can this be wrong? This is the price. And this is because you know me, so I'm giving you a friendship price. Most people might not even be able to enter at this price! That place is not ordinary. Once you enter, you might gain a lot. As for using two glory points to buy the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique', that's just the first three volumes. The fourth and fifth volumes will cost five glory points. The price of the last few volumes will increase exponentially. Do you think the complete 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique' is cheap? So, are you going or not? Once you enter that place, you can stay for a day. Don't regret it if you don't go! "
The old man tempted Yi Yun.
Yi Yun hesitated. Although this old man looked like an old cheat, as an administrator of the Tai Ah Divine City, even if he had no integrity, he would not cheat a rookie.
Was it really worth that price?
10,000 dragon scale runes was nothing, but a glory point … This was a precious resource that even the top few experts in the Tai Ah Divine City cherished!
Just entering to comprehend it required glory points. This meant that 99% of the cultivators in the Tai Ah Divine City would not have the chance to enter even once in six years!
Even the cultivators who could earn glory points might not be willing to enter!
Yi Yun only had one glory point left. Once he entered, it would be gone.
"I can enter this training ground for a day. It's quite long. As for the rookie ranking competition, there's still another 7-8 days. No one will challenge me in these two days, so it's fine if I don't watch the competition …"
Yi Yun was tempted. He really wanted to experience such a place.
If he could not comprehend anything from it, he could afford to lose a glory point.
Hence, Yi Yun nodded, "Senior, please lead the way!"
"Hehe, straightforward!" The old man laughed and patted Yi Yun on the shoulder. He gave a thumbs up, "Young man, you have a bright future!"
Seeing the old man look like he had fallen for money, Yi Yun became more and more suspicious. Did the old man get a commission for promoting the mysterious training ground?
The Tai Ah Divine City would not make such an immoral rule.
As the old man was about to leave, he thought for a moment and picked up a bunch of grapes from the fruit platter. He put them in his pocket and as he ate, he said to Yi Yun, "I guarantee you will not regret it if you follow me!"
