While the elites of the Tai Ah Divine City were gathered, Yi Yun was in the sword tomb, trying to gain insights into the way of the sword.
Yi Yun originally thought that since he had entered the saber tomb, which was connected to the sword tomb's Origins, it would be easy for him to gain insights into the way of the sword by entering the sword tomb again.
But when he arrived at the sword tomb, Yi Yun realized that it was completely different from the saber tomb.
In the saber tomb, there were saber scars and the Saber Truth's 32 Words. Each word contained the true meaning of the saber truth.
But the sword tomb did not have any of these. It was a strange stone wall. Sitting in front of the stone wall and closing one's eyes, one would feel as if one had fallen into layers of illusions.
In the illusions, there were surging rivers, flowing waterfalls, phantom images of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, as well as dancing sword beams.
It was as if the person who left behind the sword tomb had cast all the scenes he had seen in his life into the stone wall. People of the future could sit in front of the stone wall and experience these scenes.
"This is what the sword tomb's owner saw when he was gaining insights into the way of the sword!"
Yi Yun opened the Purple Crystal's energy vision and a thought flashed across his mind.
The sword tomb's owner saw these scenes and gained insights into his Sword Intent. Hence, he left his Sword Intent in these scenes, allowing people of the future to gain insights from them.
Yi Yun had stayed in the Pure Yang Sword Palace for ten months. Although he did not gain insight into the Pure Yang Sword Palace's owner's Sword Intent, it gave Yi Yun a deep understanding of the way of the sword.
After trying the most difficult Sword Dao that was closest to the Origins, it was easier to gain insights into this relatively simple Sword Dao.
If the Sword Intent left behind in the Pure Yang Sword Palace was a mountain that was difficult to climb, then the sword tomb's Sword Dao was like the stone steps to climb the mountain.
Yi Yun went up the stairs step by step …
Time passed. Yi Yun did not know how long had passed. He had been sitting quietly in the sword tomb. He entered a completely ethereal state, forgetting himself and God.
Yi Yun's mind kept reverberating with the shocking sword scar in the Pure Yang Sword Palace.
This huge sword scar seemed to be engraved in Yi Yun's mind. It slowly overlapped with the phantom image in the sword tomb …
It was unknown when a rusty broken sword appeared in Yi Yun's hand. With the broken sword in hand, it gave Yi Yun's mind a sense of coolness, making Yi Yun's mind clearer …
He gently swung his sword, his movements very slow. It was like cutting an invisible spider web.
One strike after another, seemingly without any pattern, but in the illusionary world, Yi Yun seemed to be splitting a waterfall, splitting a river, intertwining with the illusory saber beams and sword shadows …
While Yi Yun was in a trance trying to understand the sword. The Tai Ah Divine City was bustling with activity.
In the central divine tower, there was a place to receive guests. It was called the Splendid Room. The Tai Ah Divine City's City Lord's birthday banquet would be held here.
Although the Splendid Pavilion was a large hall located in the central divine tower, after entering it, there was a large hall. But he could see green bamboos and spiritual flowers everywhere. These flowers, bamboos, and plants were all rare treasures in the world. Between the plants, there was also dark green water flowing quietly, like a jade belt.
If there were guests drinking in this green bamboo forest, they could place the wine cup into the flowing water, and everyone could drink from it at any time. This was called the 'Harmonious Stream of Flowing Goblets'.
Outside the bamboo forest, there were exquisite small tables. The tables were not more than a foot high, and one could only sit on one's knees. There were all sorts of exquisite spiritual food placed on the tables. These food were the treasures of the treasures and were very expensive. The food contained rich Yuan Qi, and eating it was very beneficial to one's cultivation level.
For the Tai Ah Divine City's City Lord's birthday banquet, those who were qualified to sit at these small tables were important figures from various large factions.
As for the Tai Ah Divine City's City Lord and the Seven Star Pagoda Owner, their seats were near the flowing water in the middle. This was also the center of the hall.
Around the small table, there were pavilions.
There was a large table in each of the pavilions. The juniors and young elites from the various nations were all seated in a circle around the table.
Other than the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, who was the host, the other factions were basically given a pavilion.
Those who could sit here were the youths who had reached the peak of their respective factions.
As for the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom's pavilions, they chose the relatively outstanding cultivators from the Tai Ah Divine City. For example, the geniuses who were ranked in the top 30 of the Heaven, Earth and Man rolls, as well as the leaders of their respective years.
For example, the third year cultivator Li Hong, the second year cultivators Qiuniu, Chu Xiaoran, and the top three rookies, Lu Jie, Wen Yu and a short and fat youth, were among them.
"Oh? Why isn't Yi Yun here? "
The Tai Ah Divine Kingdom's juniors were split into six pavilions. Wen Yu, Lu Jie, Qiuniu and Chu Xiaoran sat together. Lu Jie scanned his surroundings and realized that Yi Yun was not there.
This surprised Lu Jie. With Yi Yun's status, he had the qualifications to sit here.
"I don't know. Maybe he's in reclusive training …"
Chu Xiaoran casually said. She didn't really care. In fact, to her, there was no meaning in participating in this kind of banquet. She wasn't a person who liked to be noisy. She came here to see the young elites from various forces.
"Oh? It's the people from the Yun Long Divine Kingdom! "
At this moment, the important figures from the various factions had not arrived. The people in the hall were the juniors from the various factions.
Chu Xiaoran saw about ten youths walk over. Leading them was a fatty in yellow. This fatty in yellow had an easy-going smile on his face, but his eyes contained a sense of arrogance.
His gaze swept over and skipped over Chu Xiaoran. Without stopping, he looked at the pavilion beside Chu Xiaoran.
In that pavilion sat the two famous figures of the Tai Ah Divine City, Yao Dao and Yang Qian!
Back when Yi Yun first came to the Tai Ah Divine City, Yao Dao and Yang Qian were fifteen. Back then, they were already ranked in the top hundred of the Earth roll.
And now, a year had passed. Yao Dao and Yang Qian had been training in the Tai Ah Divine City for four years. They had become fifth year cultivators. Their cultivation levels had reached the mid-stages of the Yuan foundation realm half a year ago.
In addition to Qin Haotian and his batch of people who had completed their training and left the Tai Ah Divine City, Yao Dao and Yang Qian had already entered the top five of the Earth roll.
Without Qin Haotian and Li Xiao, there were no other geniuses in the Tai Ah Divine City's sixth year cultivators other than Luo Huo 'er.
But Luo Huo 'er had never challenged the Heaven and Earth rolls. No one knew what her strength was other than her Desolate Heaven technique.
Hence, Yao Dao and Yang Qian had dominated the fifth year cultivators. People believed that Yao Dao and Yang Qian would replace Qin Haotian and company's positions, dominating the Heaven and Earth rolls in the near future.
As for Yang Haoran, Yang Dingkun and company, although they were outstanding, they were much worse than Yao Dao and Yang Qian.
Below them, the fourth and third year cultivators were even worse.
The third year cultivators only had Li Hong as their sole successor. And this sole successor had been defeated by Yi Yun, who was one year younger than them, in the previous rookie ranking competition.
This was a disgrace to the third year cultivators.
The Yun Long Divine Kingdom's fatty in yellow had a general understanding of the powerful figures in the Tai Ah Divine City before the birthday banquet began.
Hence, the moment he arrived, he paid attention to Yao Dao and Yang Qian.
Yang Qian frowned as he felt the yellow-clothed fatty's unbridled gaze sizing him up. "Does this fatty want to fight?"
Yang Qian was an arrogant person and he did not have a good temper. He sensed the fatty's hostility and became angry.
"This fatty is not simple. He is looking at your strength. His gaze is indeed annoying. It's like a merchant looking at his goods."
Yao Dao, who was beside Yang Qian, said calmly. His hand could not help but touch the short saber he carried with him.
"Yang Qian, the City Lord's birthday banquet might have some impromptu performances. It is a time for the elites from the various large factions to compete. Now that Senior brother Qin and company have left the Divine City, the only ones who can hold the fort are you and me. Hence, that fatty is sizing you up! "
Yao Dao quickly guessed the fatty's intentions.
Yang Qian snorted, "I see. That's good too!"
Yang Qian was not afraid of a challenge. This sort of competition between the younger generation was what he wished for. He was especially looking forward to competing with the young elites from outside the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom!
At this moment, the Splendid House's door opened. Under the guidance of a few attendants, the important figures from the various large factions finally arrived.
Of the two people leading them, one was a tall man wearing a thick fur cloak and bone soled military boots. He was the Yun Long Divine Kingdom's Seven Star Pagoda Owner.
As for the other person, he was a middle-aged scholar wearing a green gown. He looked amiable, but his eyebrows were like swords, exuding a sharp aura.
This person did not look oppressive at all. Instead, he looked like a scholar from the mortal world. He was well-read, but he was weak.
He was the Tai Ah Divine City's City Lord!
