Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Chapter 286: Chapter 285: Sword Cliff

As he withdrew his Heart Spirit, Ling Fei looked ahead.

He immediately spotted Mo Jiufeng ahead, his clothes in tatters.

’I almost hurt him just now!’ When Ling Fei saw this, his brow furrowed slightly, and a hint of apology appeared in his eyes.

Although Mo Jiufeng was arrogant, Ling Fei knew that without him as a sparring partner, he never would have grasped his own True Sword Dao Intent and condensed it into a Sword Intent Seed. A suitable opponent was a rare find on the path of cultivation. However, in a Sect teeming with geniuses, rivals were easy to find.

This was how disciples could constantly spar and sharpen one another, thereby increasing their Cultivation.

This was also why many great clans preferred to send their disciples to cultivate within a Sect.

”Ling Fei, so you merged the Cold Dao Mystical and Sword Dao Mystical to condense your Sword Intent Seed?” Grand Alchemist Yuan Chun asked with a smile from the high platform.

”Yes, Peak Master,” Ling Fei replied.

”Good. Excellent.” Grand Alchemist Yuan Chun’s eyes flashed. ”The Martial Arts are vast, so you mustn’t grow complacent. With your talent, if you cultivate diligently, you might truly become a peerless powerhouse in the Dual Cultivation of Alchemy and Martial. When that day comes, I’m sure you will become a legend in our Southern Wilderness.”

He was filled with anticipation.

”I understand,” Ling Fei nodded. He would never slack off; in his view, this accomplishment was far from enough.

His goal was to forge a True Dragon Body, master the True Dragon’s Eye, and become a powerhouse on the level of Marsh King and King Ji.

In fact, his goal was to surpass them!

Marsh King had obtained the True Dragon’s Eye, but without the True Dragon Bloodline, he had been unable to master it.

Ling Fei possessed the True Dragon Bloodline. If he could master the True Dragon’s Eye, his potential would be far greater than that of the Marsh King.

”Haha, Peak Master Cheng, given Ling Fei’s talent, surely there are no objections to him comprehending the techniques at your Martial Vein’s Sword Cliff?” Yuan Lang the Pill Master said with a laugh from the stage.

”Ling the Pill Master’s talent is nothing short of breathtaking. He is more than qualified to comprehend the Martial Arts of my Martial Vein. I trust none of you has any objections?” Peak Master Cheng’s gaze swept over to the elders of the Martial Vein as he spoke.

Peak Master Cheng had planned to let Ling Fei comprehend the Martial Vein’s arts all along.

However, he knew doing so would cause controversy.

While he could have forced the issue, it would have had a negative impact on the morale of the other disciples.

But now that Ling Fei had demonstrated such peerless talent, which disciple of the Martial Vein would dare to complain?

Therefore, Peak Master Cheng was visibly pleased.

”Ling the Pill Master is a talent who will bring about a new golden age for our Lingyun Sect. It is only natural that he be allowed to study our various Martial Arts,” the elders on the platform all nodded in agreement.

At this point, they were all filled with respect for Ling Fei.

A genius like him was truly a rare sight.

”Someone with such talent absolutely deserves the best treatment,” the Martial Vein disciples in the audience nodded as well.

Now, no one doubted that Ling Fei could become a powerhouse in the Martial Arts.

Instead, they were eager to see just how far Ling Fei could go!

”In that case, Ling Fei, would you like to go to my Martial Vein’s Sword Cliff now and comprehend the Sword Dao?” Peak Master Cheng asked from the stage.

”Of course,” Ling Fei replied.

Although he had already condensed a Sword Dao Mystical Seed, Ling Fei was merely a beginner. If he wanted to improve, he needed to continuously study the Sword Dao Mysticals left behind by his predecessors. Only through constant comprehension and verification could he enhance his strength and broaden his perspective on the Sword Dao.

Only by mastering numerous Sword Dao Mysticals could he perfect his own Sword Intent.

”Excellent. In that case, let’s be on our way!” said Peak Master Cheng.

Grand Alchemist Yuan Chun then rose to his feet. With a wave of his hand, a surge of Essence Qi wrapped around Ling Fei, pulling him to his side as they flew toward the Martial Vein’s Sword Cliff.

Many of the elders followed them.

”The Martial Vein encompasses all kinds of Martial Arts: sword, saber, spear, halberd, palm, fist... But it is better to master one than to dabble in many. Since you are studying the Sword Dao, you should first visit the Sword Cliff to observe the Sword Dao Mysticals there,” Grand Alchemist Yuan Chun explained to Ling Fei as they flew.

”Alright!” Ling Fei nodded. He, too, was eager to comprehend more Sword Dao Mysticals.

Soon, the group arrived deep within the territory of the Martial Vein.

Ahead of them, a forest of mountain peaks stood like giants watching over the range. A sharp wave of Sword Qi washed over them.

Upon arriving, many of the Cultivators couldn’t help but feel a sense of solemn reverence.

Ling Fei, too, sensed the unique Sword Momentum.

He immediately extended his Heart Spirit to perceive it.

’So many peaks... and each one is like a Giant Sword.’ As his Heart Spirit sensed the area, Ling Fei was inwardly shaken.

”This forest of Sword Cliffs is inscribed with the True Sword Dao Intent left behind by many of Lingyun Sect’s Sword Dao experts. Disciples from every peak come here to comprehend the Sword Dao Mysticals!”

Peak Master Cheng explained with a smile.

”Haha, many of the Sword Dao Mysticals here were left behind by seniors who had reached the Divine Mansion Realm!”

A look of yearning appeared on Peak Master Cheng’s face as he mentioned the Divine Mansion Realm Powerhouses.

Unfortunately, ever since the fall of the Marsh King, the number of Divine Mansion Realm Powerhouses in the Southern Wilderness had been dwindling.

Currently, in the entire Lingyun Sect, only Sect Leader Yuan had managed to step into this Realm.

Powerhouses of his caliber were few and far between in the entire Southern Wilderness Martial Arts World.

As they spoke, Grand Alchemist Yuan Chun was already descending with Ling Fei toward a cliff face up ahead.

Numerous Sword Maps were carved into the cliff.

In front of the Sword Cliff were rows of meditation cushions.

In some areas, people were already seated cross-legged, deep in contemplation of the Sword Dao Mysticals.

The group drifted down gracefully.

”This is the Sword Cliff. Ahead is the Sea of Stone, a forest of steles for people to comprehend or leave behind their own Sword Dao Mysticals.”

Peak Master Cheng explained.

”The most famous of our Sword Cliffs is the Meteor Sword Cliff. Carved upon it is the Meteor Sword Manual, left by a senior of the Divine Mansion Realm.”

’The Meteor Sword Manual! Left behind by a Divine Mansion Realm Powerhouse?’ Ling Fei was inwardly stunned.

Ever since learning about the Marsh King, he understood the power of the Divine Mansion Realm.

Even in that era, the Divine Mansion Realm represented the apex of power in the Southern Wilderness.

This showed just how extraordinary the Meteor Sword Manual must be.

Besides, Zhou Jian had cultivated the Meteor Sword. Although he had lost, Ling Fei could still sense the power of the technique.

”That’s right. Zhou Jian comprehended the Meteor Sword from this very cliff,” Steward Huang added with a smile.

”In addition, we have the Thunder Gang Sword Cliff, the Tornado Sword Cliff...”

An elder from the Martial Vein pointed to the various cliffs ahead, introducing them to Ling Fei one by one.

”In that case, I’ll start with the Meteor Sword Cliff!” Ling Fei declared.

He had sparred with Zhou Jian before and had some familiarity with the Meteor Sword, so it would naturally be easier to comprehend.

”Very well,” said Peak Master Cheng. ”You may begin your comprehension here.”

With that, Ling Fei walked toward the Meteor Sword Cliff.

The cliff was immense, rising like a sharp sword from among the surrounding mountains.

Its face was so perfectly flat it looked as if it had been sheared off by a single sword strike, creating the Sword Cliff.

At the base of the cliff, eighty meditation cushions were arranged in rows. In front of each cushion was a Sword Stele that connected to the cliff face ahead.

This allowed up to eighty people to comprehend the Sword Dao Mysticals of the cliff at the same time.

Currently, three young men were seated on the cushions.

They were shrouded in Light Patterns, completely immersed in their contemplation, so much so that they were oblivious to Ling Fei’s approach.

Ling Fei chose an empty cushion and sat down cross-legged.

”Focus your intent to trigger the Sword Stele in front of you. Your Heart Spirit will then be able to merge with the Sword Cliff,” Peak Master Cheng instructed.

Ling Fei nodded, and with a thought, sent his Heart Spirit into the Sword Stele before him.

HUMMM!

Instantly, the Light Patterns on the Sword Stele bloomed. A Restriction was triggered, immediately forming a Sword Rainbow that connected to the towering Sword Cliff ahead.

Simultaneously, Sword Patterns bloomed, forming a Light Shield that enveloped Ling Fei.

Now, Ling Fei could focus on his Sword Enlightenment in peace.
