Chapter 1979
The small sword emblem embroidered on the top right of Yaacob’s robe elicited a surprised reaction
from Severin. ‘Are you a disciple of the Seventh Mountain?”
Severin had been immersed in seclusion ever since his arrival at the sect, and he had beenpletely
unaware of Yaacob’s affiliation with the Seventh Mountain due to their limited interactions in the months
after.
Yaacob nodded in confirmation, “Indeed, I am!”
“Fate has brought us together again then, it seems!” Severin replied.
Yaacob left asting impression on Severin after self–professing to be the sect’s know–it–all. He

to know everything and anything about the sect, even each different elders‘ penchants.
Curious about Severin’s visit, Yaacob scratched his head and asked, “Is there something you need
here?”
Severin focused on his purpose for visiting the Seventh Mountain and exined, “I came to the
Seventh
Mountain to find the Sword Tomb. I’d like to acquire some heptagold energy.”
Yaacob’s expression shifted to that of astonishment. “Heptagold energy? Are you learning the Sky–Soil
Heptagold Sword Energy?”
Although confused by Yaacob’s surprised reaction, Severin nodded in affirmation. Myles, the Seventh
Mountain’s peak master, was aware of Severin’s proficiency in that particr technique. For that
reason,
Myles invited Severin to explore the Seventh Mountain after meeting him outside the Alchemy Tower.
Yaacob’s admiration of Severin grew even more after hearing that. The technique was a rare,
prestigious
Star–gradebat technique that few were qualified to learn. Only a select few disciples, including
elite ones like Yaacob, were qualified to practice the lower–ranked Heptagold Sword Technique. To put
in bluntly, the Heptagold Sword Technique was merely the most advanced form ofbat techniques.
The power of the Sky–Soil Heptagold Sword Energy was so formidable that it could slice open the
heavens and level mountains. It could even slice effortlessly thought the vold. Unlike regrbat.
techniques, mystical techniques such as that required no physical movements and could be activated
instantly through mental intent.
Yaacob, a swordsman by specialization, could not help himself from envying the instantaneous
activation advantage of Sky Soil Heptagold Sword Energy. Furthermore, by mastering that mystical
technique, there was a chance that the wielder couldprehend the legendary Heptagold Swordwill
that would enable one to defeat anything in its path with a single sh. It was the kind of skill that he
could only dream of having!
Yaacob then borated, “I’ll be frank with you, there aren’t a lot of disciples on the Seventh Mountain
who are able to master this technique. Firstly, few are qualified to even learn it. Secondly, those who
are qualified to learn it will find it incredibly challenging. In the past century, only our mountain’s peak
master has ever been able to master the fundamentals.”
After hearing everything, Severin was taken aback. “Okay, okay. Do you know where the Sword Tomb
is?”
Yaacob gestured down to the foot of the nearly ten–thousand–feet–tall mountain and said, “It’s right
below us.”
Using the Mind’s Eye technique, Severin channeled spiritual energy into his vision, causing his eyes to
radiate like the zing sun. His gaze pierced through the mist and zoned in on the bottom of the
mountain, Yaacob’s statement was confirmed as he saw a collection of broken swords buried like
tombs, with some of therger swords emanating a rather savage aura.
