"The Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Competition is finally going to begin!"


    Early in the morning on the day the Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Competition was to start, from within a sealed cave in a remote mountainous area of Immeasurable Mountain, there came a low murmur.


    Then, with a "boom", the sealing array outside the cave shattered into pieces, and a young man with long ck hair strode out.


    Aftering out of the cave, the young man in ck gazed toward the direction of the highest peak of Immeasurable Mountain, then he lowered his head to look at the palm of his right hand.


    The moment he lowered his head, a vibrant blue sword light suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand, which had been empty before. As the blue sword light appeared, all the true qi of heaven and earth within hundreds of yards around where the young man stood started to pulsate wildly.


    Eventually, even the mighty trees withered instantaneously, but the blue sword light in the youth''s hand became even more intense!


    "Three years and five months!"


    "Finally, I ''Mo Beiling'' have touched upon a level that transcends the Sword Intent and have cultivated the — Law Sword Seed!"


    "With the ''Law Sword Seed'', once I break through to the Rotating Pill Realm, I will be able to fuse the five great Void Heaven Laws into my Law Sword Seed and cultivate my very own ''Law Sword Domain''!"


    "Sword Intent, Law Sword Seed, Law Sword Domain, these threeyers of the Sword Path, can only cultivate the first twoyers before stepping into the Rotating Pill Realm.


    Yet among the countless Spirit Sea Realm sword cultivators, not many haveprehended the ''Law Sword Seed'' while still in the Spirit Sea Realm; the majority are still cultivating their Sword Intent and the Sword Formations within it!"


    "Last time, I lost to ''Fang Luohan'' because I was defeated by a high-level Sword Formation, but this time, havingprehended the ''Law Sword Seed'', I will definitely be able to defeat him when we meet again!"


    "In the many years ofpetition among the Spirit Sea sword cultivators, it''s been many years since someone hasprehended the ''Law Sword Seed'', This time, I will definitely im the championship at the Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Competition and avenge my previous defeat by ''Fang Luohan''!"


    After murmuring to himself, the young man in ck grabbed with his right hand, and the vibrant blue sword light disappeared into the center of his palm. Then, with a move of his body, he shot towards the highest peak of Immeasurable Mountain.


    From the self-murmuring of the young man in ck, it could be heard that he was none other than Mo Beiling, the favorite to win the championship among those listed in the Sword Fighting Spirit Ranking, who came from the third-grade sword sect ''Nan Cang Sword Sect'' of the Great Zhou Dynasty.


    After being defeated by Fang Luohan, a disciple of another third-grade sword sect, Mo Beiling secluded himself toprehend sword intent. No one would have imagined that he wouldprehend a higher level of the sword path that transcended sword intent — the Law Sword Seed!


    ...


    In the west of Great Yue City, atop a vast building, two young men holding treasured swords stood facing each other.


    They weren''t circting any techniques, but the overwhelming sword intent was involuntarily bursting out from within them.


    These two youths, one wielding an extremely thin narrow sword and the other a thick, heavy ck sword.


    Like their swords, one of the men was thin while the other was robust and brawny.


    The robust youth spoke to the thin one, "Lu Xiaojia senior brother, you haven''t epted my challenge for years. At this Sword Fighting Competition, you will have to fight me, right?"


    "Rumor has it that you''ve cultivated a high-level Sword Formation, and that you possess eighteen kinds, with some reaching the high grade of the Heavenly Tier. I really want to see how powerful your high-level Sword Formation is!"


    The thin youth nced at the brawny one, smiled nomittally, and said, "Luohan junior brother, my opponent this time isn''t you, but a young man whose reputation has skyrocketed in the past few days."


    "A young man whose reputation has skyrocketed?" The brawny youth was startled, then instantly realized, "Are you talking about Ye Chen, who recently joined the Heavenly Sacred Pce, senior brother Lu Xiaojia?"


    The thin youth nodded but did not say anything more. Instead, he started flying into the air, "Let''s go. The Sword Fighting Competition is about to begin. We have to head to ''Immeasurable Peak'' now."


    After the thin youth took off, the robust one also rose into the air, following the figure ahead towards the highest peak of Immeasurable Mountain, Immeasurable Peak.


    Those who recognized them would surely know.


    This thin youth was none other than Lu Xiaojia, who was previously the top favorite to win the championship ording to the Sword Fighting Spirit Ranking, from the third-grade sword sect "Tian Kun Sword Sect" of the Great Xia Dynasty!


    And the robust youth facing him was none other than Fang Luohan, the one who had defeated Mo Beiling, from the third-grade sword sect "Bei Cang Sword Sect" of the Great Zhou Dynasty!


    ...


    Immeasurable Peak, the highest peak in the Immeasurable Mountain region.


    It is also where the Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Competition has been held for many years!


    As Mo Beiling, Lu Xiaojia, Fang Luohan, and other favorites to win the championship flew towards Immeasurable Peak, the entire mountainside of Immeasurable Peak was already densely packed with people.


    Not only at the mountainside but even in the void surrounding the peak, one could see Spirit Sea Rotating Pill martial artists everywhere.


    The Spirit Sea Realm Sword-fighting Tournament was about to begin, with many people already arriving early at this mountain peak. At this time, tens of thousands had gathered around Immeasurable Peak!


    Among them, there were those who were to participate in the Spirit Sea Realm Sword-fighting Tournament, and even more were sword cultivators who hade to watch this millennial event. Many others were waiting for the Spirit Sea Realm Sword-fighting Tournament to end so they could take part in anotherpetition, "Hidden Dragon Ranking," for the strong contenders of the Rotating Pill Realm!


    Several Heavenly Saints had even arrived early, sitting cross-legged in the void high above!


    At this moment, within the countless crowds, a girl dressed in light purple clothing, Liu Qingmei, was looking in the direction of Great Yue City: "In these three days, Ye Chen and Sister Jiang Yao still need to intensify their cultivation. The Sword-fighting Tournament is about to start, and they haven''t arrived yet!"


    "So talented, yet they still cultivate so diligently, no wonder they''re so powerful!"


    Liu Qingmei smiled gently.


    "Sister Jiang Yao kept asking me why I would stand up to help her, perhaps after the Sword-fighting Tournament officially starts, she might be able to see the reason."


    "They''re close to invincible below the Heavenly Saints in terms ofprehensive strength, but this Spirit Sea Realm Sword-fighting Tournament is only a contest of swordsmanship. I hope they won''t disappoint me this time in their swordsmanship achievements."


    Liu Qingmei murmured to herself, while in her storage ring, a snow-white treasured sword also hummed softly.


    ...


    Lu Xiaojia, Fang Luohan, Mo Beiling, Liu Qingmei...


    One by one, the hot favorites from the Sword Fighting Spirit Ranking had all gathered in Immeasurable Peak.


    And as warriors from the Southern Lands, the Western Deste, Pr Star Archipgo, and the warriors from the Extreme North arrived one after another, Immeasurable Peak became increasingly bustling.


    When sects from the Central Region, those ranked fourth and fifth, particrly the immensely powerful third-ranked sects arrived, Immeasurable Peak waspletely lively!


    Everyone was waiting, waiting for the half hour to pass and for the Spirit Sea Realm Sword-fighting Tournament to begin, anticipating the arrival of the strong contenders who would host the tournament and the people from Heavenly Sacred Pce.


    At this time, in an inn in Great Yue City.


    Mu Qingqing and Jiang Yao were both waiting outside a room in the inn.


    "Sister Jiang Yao, you havepleted your cultivation, why hasn''t Ye Chene out yet? The Sword-fighting Tournament is about to start." Mu Qingqing said to Jiang Yao anxiously.


    Jiang Yao smiled gently, "Don''t worry, Ye Chen sent a message the day before yesterday saying he woulde out on time. In the past two days, he seemed to have entered a wonderful state of enlightenment."


    "A wonderful state of enlightenment?" Mu Qingqing''s eyes lit up, "Ye Chen''s already so powerful, and he''s still enlightening; could it be that in these short two or three days of cultivation, he could have a great breakthrough?"


    "I don''t know." Jiang Yao shook her head with a smile, "All I know is that even though you scared away that Uto Heavenly Saint, Ye Chen and I are somewhat discontented. We don''t want to be oppressed by the Heavenly Saints forever, so we''re also eagerly cultivating these days. Maybe those few confrontations in the square with the people from Western Deste gave Ye Chen some enlightenment."


    As Mu Qingqing and Jiang Yao conversed softly, the door of the room behind them creaked open.


    "Has Ye Chen finished cultivating?"


    Hearing the sound of the door opening behind her, both Jiang Yao and Mu Qingqing were overjoyed and turned around to look.


    To their surprise, they saw the door wide open; inside, Ye Chen was smiling faintly at them.


    "Ye Chen!" Seeing that Ye Chen really had finished his cultivation, Jiang Yao ran towards Ye Chen happily.


    Mu Qingqing also pursed her rosy lips and said with a softugh to Ye Chen, "I thought you wouldn''te out and were going to miss the Sword-fighting Tournament."


    "The Sword-fighting Tournament?"


    "I can''t miss that."


    Ye Chen smiled, looking up towards the Immeasurable Mountain Range outside Great Yue City, towards the highest peak of Immeasurable Mountain, barely visible in the distance.


    "Let''s go, I''ve justpleted my cultivation, yet I inexplicably feel that this Sword-fighting Tournament might just bring some surprising idents that''ll be quite a delight!"
