Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 1472: Chapter 1472: Sword Cultivators of the World

On the Martial Arts Arena, the outcome of the match between Ding Qiuyue and the Qi Sect disciple was gradually emerging.

Xiao Yi could almost be certain that within a minute, Ding Qiuyue would be defeated without a doubt.

Clang... Clang... Clang...

Their fight remained intense.

Ding Qiuyue, integrating Sword Power into her physique, possessed astonishing speed and strength.

The sword she wielded was a Mid-grade Holy Artifact, and the enhancement of Sword Power made its might formidable.

The Qi Sect disciple, meanwhile, had Primordial Power surging from his body, clearly also integrated with Sword Power.

Under such overwhelming Primordial Power, the Secret Technique exhibited made his physical speed and strength exceptionally remarkable.

His sword may seem mundane, far less than Ding Qiuyue’s sword, but the Sword Skills he employed were far stronger than ordinary ones.

”Qi Control, Nine Profound Sword Energy,” the Qi Sect disciple shouted loudly.

Swish... Swish... Swish...

The sword energy surged like a tide.

”Ha!” Ding Qiuyue shouted softly, and her sword danced out a string of sword flowers.

The sword flowers bloomed, blocking each incoming sword energy.

Under the empowerment of Sword Power, her sword was no different from a Divine Weapon.

However, after a few seconds.

Thud... Thud... Thud...

Though Ding Qiuyue wasn’t injured, she was forced to retreat step by step.

Outside the Martial Arts Arena.

Xiao Yi only took one glance and immediately understood.

Although Ding Qiuyue’s Sword Power could integrate into her physique, making her physical strength astonishing.

She ultimately wasn’t a Body Cultivation Martial Artist but a Sword Cultivator.

Additionally, Ding Qiuyue’s talent was remarkable, but she was much younger than the Qi Sect disciple, and her Cultivation was also inferior.

The Qi Sect disciple was at least in his twenties, with Cultivation reaching the Eighth Layer of the Saint King Realm.

For Ding Qiuyue, at the Sixth Layer of the Saint King Realm, to fight to this extent was already quite impressive.

As expected, after dozens of seconds, Ding Qiuyue kept retreating until she fell off the Martial Arts Arena.

”How long does the competition between Qi Sect and Artifact Sect last?” Xiao Yi asked.

”Not so soon,” Elder Yun Yuan replied, ”According to previous experiences, it won’t be over without a few days.”

”That long?” Xiao Yi frowned slightly.

After all, it’s just a competition between two sects; it shouldn’t take that long.

Elder Yun Yuan shook his head, ”The Sword Domain event is a big gathering, happening every few decades.”

”For all Sword Cultivators in the Central Region, this is a grand event; for Swordmen in the Sword Domain, its importance is even more self-evident.”

”With Qi Sect and Artifact Sect as two significant sects in the Sword Domain, their competition is naturally grand and complex.”

”Besides, on the Martial Arts Arena, it seems like a competition between the two sects; but in the vast Sword Domain, all Swordmen either cultivate Qi Sword Force or Artifact Sword Power.”

”This is no different from a competition between Qi Sword Force practitioners and Artifact Sword Power practitioners.”

”There are many Swordmen participating.”

”I see,” Xiao Yi nodded.

Hui Deacon chuckled lightly, ”Anyway, there are still many Sword Cultivators or Sword Dao sects that haven’t arrived yet; it’s just right to wait for those tardy folks.”

Xiao Yi smiled upon hearing that.

At this moment, at the Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest, Sword Cultivators had already gathered.

But looking across the Central Region, Sword Cultivators or Sword Dao sects are by no means just thousands.

Quite a number of Sword Cultivators had not yet arrived.

The competition between Qi Sect and Artifact Sect was just right to kill some time.

As time gradually passed.

Two days later.

Sword Cultivators and Sword Dao Martial Artists from all regions of the Central Region gradually arrived.

The Heavenly Hidden Academy’s Heavenly Sword Peak elder, as well as the chief disciples, altogether numbering dozens.

Feng Ji, the Young Master of Sword Light Mansion, one of the Eighteen Mansions, along with over a dozen elders and dozens of disciples.

From the Four-direction Domain, the chief of Four-direction Sword Sect, Yuee Tian, along with over a dozen elders and dozens of disciples.

The Sword Obsession lineage elder and disciples from Five Fools Academy, numbering dozens.

The Sword Hall elders and disciples from Heavenly Que Academy, numbering dozens.

Independent Sword Cultivator, Quu Changtian.

In the northern area of the Central Region, Snow Mountain Sword Emperor, Nangong Bai.

...

In no time, all the renowned Sword Cultivators and Sword Dao sects in the Central Region gathered.

The vast Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest was filled with soaring Sword Intent.

”Really interesting,” Xiao Yi’s mouth curled into a smile.

Let alone the benefits of this Sword Domain event.

To simply spar with the various prominent Sword Cultivators from the Central Region was already an invaluable experience.

”Hmm?” Suddenly, Xiao Yi frowned.

He noticed that some familiar faces were absent from this event.

”Didn’t Zifeng and the others come?” Xiao Yi asked Elder Yun Yuan and Hui Deacon in confusion.

He remembered that there were some disciples from Black Cloud Academy who were also Sword Cultivators.

Such as Junior Brother Zifeng.

Of course, as well as Mo Youu.

And from Five Fools Academy, the Sword Obsession Sect’s Chief Linghu Wang also hadn’t come, only the elders and disciples did.

These were all renowned Sword Cultivators.

”Zifeng arrived early.” Elder Yun Yuan chuckled.

”But as for Mo Youu and the others,” Elder Yun Yuan suddenly halted his words, his expression somewhat complex.

Xiao Yi frowned, ”What’s the matter?”

Not really asking, but rather just puzzled.

After all, they were well-known young Sword Cultivators.

”Senior Yun Yuan doesn’t have to say if you don’t want to,” Xiao Yi chuckled, not minding.

Xiao Yi just turned his gaze back to the Martial Arts Arena again.

Elder Yun Yuan’s complicated words suddenly sounded, ”They don’t need to come.”

”Oh?” Xiao Yi was slightly puzzled.

Elder Yun Yuan spoke mysteriously, ”Mo Youu is still in the academy, receiving full guidance from Senior Luoo.”

”And the chiefs of the Five Great Academy have all gathered at Heavenly Hidden Academy.”

”The deans of Golden Dawn, Heavenly Que, Five Fools, Bright Illusion, the Four Great Academies, have all come out of seclusion and gone to Heavenly Hidden Academy.”

”All five chiefs, including Sword Obsession Linghu Wang, are preparing for the opening of Ancient Emperor’s Tomb half a year later.”

”Neither Mo Youu, Linghu Wang nor the others can come.”

”You’re different from them,” Hui Deacon said with a serious tone.

”Since the Hundred Schools Battle, they’ve been growing under the full cultivation of various deans and academies.”

”Cultivation Resources, plenty to have; any doubts in Martial Arts, guided and resolved promptly.”

”During these months, their growth rate is far beyond your imagination.”

”Another thing to tell you is that they have all had their second Martial Soul Awakening, their Cultivation soaring.”

”In other words,” Elder Yun Yuan mysteriously smiled.

”They don’t need to attend a Sword Domain event like you to gain opportunities and benefits.”

”Whatever they need, the Five Great Academy will automatically find for them.”

”Heh, such days, just the thought of them feels wonderful.” Xiao Yi couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly.

This is truly the difference in fate between people.

For Xiao Yi to cultivate, lacking in a large number of Cultivation Items, he could only come to such events to seize opportunities.

While Mo Youu, Linghu Wang, and others just have it all at their fingertips.

The profound heritage of the Central Region’s Five Great Academy offers Cultivation Items and benefits far exceeding those from a Sword Domain event.

”Kid, don’t lose heart,” Elder Yun Yuan suddenly chuckled.

”The Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest indeed has something that can’t be compared to elsewhere.”

”If you truly manage to obtain such a thing within the Stele Forest, tsk tsk, I believe you’ll be excited.”

”What thing?” Xiao Yi asked in intrigue.

Hui Deacon chuckled, ”A rarity throughout all ages, not even a hundred Heavenly Hidden Academy or Black Cloud Academy can offer such a benefit.”

Xiao Yi’s eyes lit up.

”However.” Elder Yun Yuan suddenly poured cold water, ”Since the emergence of Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest to this day, over countless ages, countless outstanding Sword Cultivators have come here, yet none have ever obtained it.”

”Whether you can acquire it depends on your skill and luck.”

Skill, luck, both indispensable.

Xiao Yi’s eyes narrowed, after a moment, a hint of anticipation and confidence flashed across his face.

...

Second update.
