Chapter 680: The Void Sword

The qualifying match would be held after a month, which was good news for the remaining nine people. With the Glaze Pellet in their hands, they were confident that they would reach the Ninth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm in a month.
If they could break through the realm, not only will they increase their cultivation to a higher stage, but also practice the Glazed Treasured Body, eventually making themselves the most powerful warriors below a Half-Saint.
However, Li Yue’s cultivation was too low; he could probably reach the Fifth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm at most. If he took the Glaze Pellet, it would enhance his cultivation, but it would still be impossible to practice the Glazed Treasured Body.
As long as Lin Yue strategized, he would not take the Glaze Pellet until his cultivation reached the Eighth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm.
However, if he was unable to make any breakthroughs in his realm, how would he compete against others in the qualifying match?
The nine people who had considered Li Yue as a tough rival felt relaxed.
Especially Yang Qi and Mo Yan, they smiled at each other and let out a sigh of relief. They thought that at least they would not end up at last place in the match.
Zhang Ruochen seemed indifferent. Even though he had not taken the Glaze Pellet, he had other treasures that could help him improve his cultivation. If he tried his best, he would have the chance to break through a realm and reach the Sixth Change of the Fish-dragon Realm.
With Zhang Ruochen’s current ability, he would have a good chance of defeating top figures of the Ninth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm, as long as he reaches the realm of the Sixth Change of the Fish-dragon Realm.
This was because, a month later, the ten of them would be fighting with the top ten of the Ninth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm in the qualifying match.
Led by Qin Yufan and Dao Xuanqi, everyone rushed to the Sacred Grottoes Mountain to watch the martial arts contest of Tao of the sword of the Ninth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm.
The Half-Saint realm was also such an enormous moat for all the monks. It blocked countless people out. Sometimes, it even cost their lives to cross the barrier. Some of these warriors failed to do that and eventually died in the Fish-dragon realm.
What a despair!
Because the Half-Saint realm was so difficult to cross, the monks who signed up for this martial arts contest of Tao of the sword of the Ninth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm outnumbered those in the Eighth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm level. The registration did not close until today.
Anyway, it still entered the final stage.
Upon arriving at the Sacred Grottoes Mountain, Zhang Ruochen caught sight of the Coliseum in the distance, where a man in his thirties was practicing Dharma Laksana, “Starry Sky”, striking out with another superior of the Ninth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm.
On the Coliseum, particles of harsh and starry light spots twirled, giving out strong power fluctuations.
“Sikong Xingdou!”
“Sikong Xingdou!”
…
Beneath it, hundreds of thousands of inner disciples cheered and chanted the name of the man on the Coliseum.
Zhang Ruochen rubbed his chin and said, “The talent of the Ninth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm is amazing. If I’m not wrong, the man on the Coliseum is starry Saintly Being. Perhaps, is he the strongest superior of the Ninth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm in the Yin and Yang Sect?”
A Saintly Being in the Ninth Change of the Fish-dragon Realm was the most powerful warrior, ranked just below a Half-Saint. A Saintly Being in that realm is capable of defeating dozens of monks in the Ninth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm.
Zhang Ruochen stood closer to Can Dong. They were pretty close with each other because they were both disciples from the Long-living Yard.
Can Dong kept his eyes fixed on Sikong Xingdou on the Coliseum and said, “Warriors in the Ninth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm should be much more talented than those from the Eighth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm. As far as I know, it’s not only a Saintly Being who’s there but also a more marvelous being.”
He added, “If that being comes to the Coliseum, I’m afraid the starry Saintly Being will bow his head and immediately concede defeat. The Saintly Being won’t even dare fight that person.”
Zhang Ruochen asked in astonishment, “Elderbrother Can Dong, are you serious? The Saintly Being is invincible in his realm. Who would be able to defeat him?”
“I am not kidding.”
Can Dong kept a straight face and said, “You have only been a Saint’s disciple for a short period. You still don’t know how to recognize great figures of the Yin and Yang Sect. This person is known as the top talent in Suzerain ever since the ancient times.”
“Even though he’s not the best of all time, his level has been unparalleled in the Yin and Yang Sect for at least a hundred thousand years.”
With a dignified look, Zhang Ruochen said, “As far as I know, eight hundred years ago, Emperor Ming, one of the Nine Emperors, was an apprentice to the Yin and Yang Sect. So even Emperor Ming can’t match her?”
Even now, the Nine Emperors from eight hundred years ago still enjoy such a renowned reputation. Almost all the disciples knew that Emperor Ming used to be a disciple of the Yin and Yang Sect.
Therefore, what Zhang Ruochen had asked was quite reasonable.
“When Emperor Ming was young, he was actually less skilled than her. If someone wants to be something like Emperor Ming, talent does not matter. However, to say that she is more outstanding and more skillful than Emperor Ming, I don’t agree with it.” Can Dong said.
“Who is she?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Can Dong said, “With the Innate Extreme Yang Body, Gai Tianjiao.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes glittered. He said, “I can’t believe there is actually someone who owns a legendary physical quality.”
Innate Extreme Yang Body is a physical quality that was more powerful than an immortal Saintly Being and Four-spirit Treasured Body. Only the Five Elements Chaotic Body could cast it into the shade.
If a person really possessed Innate Extreme Yang Body, their battle effectiveness could overwhelm any Saintly Being, which is extremely scary.
Meanwhile, Innate Extreme Yang Body was one of five physical qualities that Blackie was searching for.
Qi Feiyu glanced at Zhang Ruochen and said, “Gai Tianjiao is Gai Hao’s sister. She is also the unquestioned first senior sister apprentice of the Yin and Yang Sect. If you encounter her in the qualifying match, you should never go against her. Otherwise, no one can save you.”
Zhao Wuya asked hurriedly, “Didn’t Junior Sister Apprentice Qi say that Gai Tianjiao was the head of the four beauties?”
Zhao Wuyan spent most of his time secluding himself for refining, so he knew very little about the secrets in Suzerain. It wasn’t until now that he realized that there was an Innate Extreme Yang Body in the Yin and Yang Sect.
“You’re right,” said Qi Feiyu.
“Is she more beautiful than Junior Sister Apprentice Qi?” Zhang Wuyan asked, incredulous.
In his eyes, Qi Feiyu was a beautiful fairy who came down from heaven to earth. How could there be another woman more beautiful than her?
Upon hearing Zhang Wuyan’s words, the Saint’s disciples and Cyan-robed Elders who had seen Gai Tianjiao wanted to laugh.
Xu Changsheng hummed chilly, stared at Zhang Wuyan and said, “If the senior sister apprentice hears what you just said, she will slap you in the face. Regardless of your opinion, I think the senior sister apprentice’s beauty is unique. No one can compare to her.”
Qin Yufan chuckled and said, “It is taboo for anyone to say that senior sister apprentice is not beautiful enough. Zhao Wuyan, you just need to know that the senior sister apprentice is the most beautiful girl in the whole Yin and Yang Sect. Just remember this, it’s good for you.”
After hearing other people’s remarks on Gai Tianjiao, Zhang Ruochen could not help but be more curious about the senior sister apprentice. If he gets a chance, he would like to meet her.
…
On the Sacred Grottoes Mountain, Zhang Ruochen watched the decisive battle of the Ninth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm and then returned to the Zixia Sacred Mountain himself when the sky turned dark.
Zhang Ruochen did not enter the Scroll World immediately. Instead, he sat at the center of the courtyard, took out the white sword that Half-saint Yuanlong had given him, and scrutinized it in his hands.
During the day, despite the looking old and battered, he could tell that the white sword was made out of an extraordinary material that can’t be compared to the Holy Swords.
However, at that time, Half-saint Yuanlong was afraid that he might repossess the Holy Sword, so he tried to act as normal as possible.
“Swoosh!”
Zhang Ruochen mobilized the Holy Qi inside his body and injected it into the blade. All of a sudden, light beams shot out from the inscriptions and emerged on the surface of the sword.
An hour had passed. His old sword had not changed. Zhang Ruochen was getting tired, and he had beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.
Zhang Ruochen had no other choice but to slowly restore his Holy Qi. He breathed out a sigh of relief breath.
“I couldn’t trigger the sword spirit in the sword. What a pity.”
Zhang Ruochen held the sword and brandished it mid-air. A semicircular radian formed like a dazzling crescent moon.
This sword was wonderful.
It was a pity that it didn’t have a soul. As good as it was, the sword was just an ordinary sword.
Just as Zhang Ruochen was about to slip the old sword into the sword scabbard, Zhang Ruochen heard Blackie scream from the courtyard outside.
Blackie returned to the Zixia Sacred Mountain. Upon seeing the sword in Zhang Ruochen’s hand, its furs stood on their ends as if it was just electrocuted.
“How did the sword end up in your hands?”
Blackie was excited. It pushed itself with its two legs and pounced on Zhang Ruochen. It reached out with its paws to grab the old white sword.
Zhang Ruochen could not tell why Blackie was so thrilled, but he threw the sword to Blackie anyway.
Blackie’s two paws held the old white sword tightly.
Its beady eyes moistened. At that moment, Blackie did not seem like a cat, but a man who was reminiscing about his past.
Oddly enough, the rusty Holy Sword shook slightly in Blackie’s paws.
But the sword spirit didn’t revive. After the shaking, it stilled.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “What? Do you know about this Holy Sword?”
“Zhang Ruochen, this sword…Where did you get it?”
Blackie raised his head and focused his black eyes on Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen was certain that Blackie had known about this sword or its owner. He said, “A Half-Saint of the Yin and Yang Sect gave me this sword as a present. He said he found it in the medieval relic.”
“Where is the medieval relic?” Blackie asked.
Zhang Ruochen said, “You should tell me first, where is this sword from?”
Blackie licked its lips with its tongue and hesitated.
After a while, it said, “This sword is named ‘Void Sword’, a saber of Thousand-bone Empress.”
