Limitless Sword God Chapter 385

Entering the Ultimate Martial World
“Heading to the Ultimate Martial Word requires a proof of qualifications, if you do not have that, then you will be classified as a vagabond that does not belong to any kingdom. Vagabonds are not taken care of, in other words, such an existence can be killed by anyone, are you sure you want to enter the Ultimate Martial World without any proof?”
Inside the main hall of the Divine Cloud Immortal Palace, Shangguan Mei Yang asked indifferently.
“Proof of Qualifications to enter Ultimate Martial World? Who gives them out?”
Su Yun who was below asked.
“It isn’t given by anyone, it’s obtainable through a challenge and it’s more like a test of strength. If you’re not strong enough, entering the Ultimate Martial World will be extremely dangerous, a fifth stage Spirit Star Realm cultivator entering the Ultimate Martial World is the most ordinary of strength, but you are just a fourth stage Spirit Star Realm cultivator, I’m afraid that you will not pass the test. The location for the challenge is set in the Ultimate Martial World, without a proof to enter, the dangers and risks on your life is extremely high.” Shangguan Mei Yang explained.
Hearing that, Su Yun frowned: “The location to obtain the proof is in the Ultimate Martial World? I can’t enter Ultimate Martial World now, how can I ever obtain the proof of qualification?”
“As long as you have someone from the Ultimate Martial World recognizing you, they can present the proof of qualifications, provided they themselves have additional proof of qualifications in their hands! I am sorry, but I do not have any additional proof of qualifications with me, because the place to obtain it is too far. Furthermore, I do not advocate for Divine Cloud Immortal Palace Disciples to head to the Ultimate Martial World, thus I do not have any more. That is a world where because of power, there are times that the world is beautiful, but there are times that it becomes even more cruel than the Sky Martial Continent.”
“I plan to go to the Ultimate Martial World to obtain some materials, and would not even stay for too long, if it is convenient for Senior Shangguan, I hope that you can send me into the world.”
“You really want to go?”
“Yes!” Su Yun replied with determination.
“Alright, since you have already made your decision, I will help you!”
Shangguan Mei Yang said indifferently, she then stood up and brought Su Yun to the gigantic steel doors in the center of the islands.
The sealed steel doors’ locks required a special treasure held by Shangguan Mei Yang to open it, and only the mother and daughter of the entire Divine Cloud Immortal Palace had the ‘master key’.
With a batch of disciples following them, Shangguan Mei Yang arrived before the big doors and retrieved the silver pearl like ‘master key’. She then placed it in her hands, closed her eyes and started to mutter a chant.
Slowly, the iron chains started wiggling, releasing metal sounds, at long last they fell to the ground, and the big doors slowly opened.
A set of gold light aura leaked out of the big doors. Su Yun struggled to keep his eyes open as he looked inside the door only to see a blank space of void, only the golden spiralling light inside was moving.
“Once you’re in, you will have reached the connecting realm door to the Ultimate Martial World, I wish you good luck.” Shangguan Mei Yang said to Su Yun.
Su Yun nodded his head, he took a deep breath and stepped forward.
Xiuuu!!!
Entering the spiral, his entire body immediately floated up like a cloud. His consciousness gradually disappeared and was routed away, it was an extremely magical feeling.
The door was like an ultra conveyance door that spanned across many realms.
~Who knows where the Ultimate Martial World truly is.~
After a long while, his consciousness started recovering.
A gentle breeze swept across his face, making him feel extremely comfortable.
Su Yun gradually opened his eyes and looked around.
~Is this Ultimate Martial World?~
All around him were birdsong and fragrant flowers, the blue sky and green meadows stretched across the horizon, it was a beautiful place and it didn’t have much difference from the Sky Martial Continent. Su Yun stood atop a plateau and behind him was a gigantic steel door, which was open at the moment.
“Eh, so it’s a new inexperienced chick? But from the looks of your Profound Spirit Qi, your cultivation is not very high, have you obtained the proof of qualifications for the Ultimate Martial World?”
Just as Su Yun was looking around, an old granny with a walking stick came out from behind the door, she smiled as she looked at Su Yun.
“Greetings, senior.” Su Yun cupped his fists, and said: “Must I obtain a proof of qualifications to walk in the Ultimate Martial World?”
“Of course. Young man, who sent you here?”
“Shangguan Mei Yang, does senior know her?”
“The little girl from the Shangguan Family? Of course I know her.” The old granny smiled: “She should not have done such a foolish thing, people without the proof of qualifications will only be the prey for others, didn’t she tell you that?”
“Senior Shangguan did warn me before, but this junior is here just to gather a few materials, the Ultimate Martial World is full of illustrious heroes, and produce many materials that other realms do not have, this Junior has no other choice but to take the risk.” Su Yun spoke in a respectful tone, he did not know the depth of the old woman, and taking a humble stance was never wrong.
The old granny seemed to be satisfied with Su Yun’s actions, she nodded her head: “Young man, we don’t have much polite people like you anymore, it could be considered fate that you have come here now, because not long ago, someone died near here and I took his proof of qualifications. Since I do not have use for it, I will gift it to you, consider it as a gift of fate.”
With that said, the old granny retrieved a black order badge from her waist pocket and gave it to Su Yun.
Su Yun was joyous, he accepted the proof of qualifications and looked at it once, and immediately bowed towards the old granny: “Thank you so much, senior.”
“I am not a senior, I am merely a door guard, you can call me Flower Granny.”
The old granny laughed.
“Flower Granny.”
“Hehe, good good! Child, the owner of the proof of qualifications is dead, the connection in it has already been broken, quickly bind it to yourself, you just have to drip a drop of blood on the order badge, a person with the proof of qualifications will be considered a person of Ultimate Martial World, and ordinary people will not do anything reckless to you. Killing people with proof of qualifications will only incite the law enforcement people to chase after them, but for those that die without qualifications, no one will care. You cannot be careless even with the proof of qualifications, if you were to provoke other people, they can kill you too.”
“Thank you for the warnings Senior, this junior will remember them well.”
Su Yun nodded his head, and used Spirit Qi to cut his finger, and dripped a drop of blood on the badge, in the next moment, it shot out a black light which bore into his heart.
Su Yun’s body twitched slightly, and words started to appear on the badge.
Su Yun: Fourth Stage Spirit Star Realm.
Fighting Strength: 437.
Current Rank: Beyond 10 million.
Title: None.
“Wh-what are all these?” Su Yun was startled.
“What?” The old granny looked at Su Yun in puzzlement.
“What are all these information on the proof? What Fighting Strength? Rank? Title? What are these?”
Su Yun pointed at the badge and asked.
“Oh, those huh, that’s the results that the proof of qualifications has quantified from your personal strength, you cannot look down on this proof of qualifications, it is considered a treasure as well with a lot of usage.”
The Old Granny said.
Hearing that, Su Yun was surprised, he never thought that such a small proof of qualifications would have such a usage.
“Normally, you shouldn’t let others see the information on your proof of qualifications, but many people now possess treasures that can find out the information on the proof. You have to be careful, in the wilderness, if people realise that your fighting strength is weaker than theirs, you will most likely be killed by them for your treasures so they could improve their fighting strength.”
“Increase Fighting Strength? Can killing others increase your fighting strength?”
“Heh, young man, I initially thought that with you coming to the Ultimate Martial World, you should have the basic knowledge of this place, but I never thought that you know nothing at all! Alright, this old lady will tell you about it, in this world, strength is everything! Do you understand the implied meaning of “Ultimate Martial”? It hints to the limits of fighting strength! This is a world where fighting strength rules! With strength, you have everything and in this world, world ranking and fighting strength is like an indicator of your strength, high ranks and fighting strength will bestow you with unimaginable advantages, and can give you everything, while low ranks and equivalent fighting strength will only make you suffer from the unjust acts of others, they will bully and kill you, thus, in this world, if you want to live better, you have to continuously increase your fighting strength and advance in your ranks. As to how it goes about it, everytime you kill a person, your rank will be promoted and every person you fight, regardless of result, can improve the growth of your fighting strength. Of course, breaking through in cultivation or having treasures can also increase your fighting strength, the difference is how much increase they provide. Alright, this is the fundamentals of this world, I’ll leave the rest to your own enlightenment.”
The old granny laughed, and turned and walked back behind the steel door.
~Seems like this world has its own sets of rules.~
Su Yun looked at the order badge in his hand, and then proceeded to place it into his storage ring.
The storage ring was activated.
A light halo came out, and Su Yun placed the Proof of Qualifications into the light halo. But just as he tried to throw it in, it could not be accepted by the light.
“What’s going on? Is the storage ring malfunctioning?”
Su Yun became suspicious.
Usually, treasures would not spoil, but that did not mean that they could not.
“You cannot put a Proof of Qualifications into storage rings, don’t tell me you don’t know that?” Just as Su Yun was fumbling about, Ling Qing Yu’s voice came out.
The Sword Sheath started to flicker with sets of light, and Ling Qing Yu who was pure white all over, appeared in front of Su Yun.
“I completely forgot that I have a lady sword fairy in my sword sheath.” Su Yun smacked his own head and laughed.
“You are truly lucky, you were actually able to obtain a present from others. It’s even a Proof of Qualifications! Although this is not something uncommon, but for cultivators who are not strong enough, it is extremely hard to obtain. You can only keep this with you, you cannot place it in a storage ring and it is best for you not to conceal it, because if you do, others will not know that you have one and can use the excuse of not knowing that you had one on you, so they ended up killing you!”
Ling Qing Yu said.
“There’s such a rule?”
“There are many rules in the Ultimate Martial World. Slowly learn them.”
Ling Qing Yu threw those words, then stretched her back and started to run around casually. From time to time, she would touch the flowers around, or lie on the ground and breath slowly.
“It’s been so long since I’ve come to the Ultimate Martial World, it feels so familiar! Come to think of it, Su Yun, how do you plan to gather the materials for Sword Elder’s Xiantian Sword Body?”
Ling Qing Yu who was lying on the ground asked.
“Feng Ling Sheng gave me an address before he left, he said that I can go and find him if I were to come to the Ultimate Martial World.”
Su Yun gave the location’s mark to Ling Qing Yu.
~Ling Qing Yu is more familiar with this place, maybe she knows where it is.~
She took the paper and glanced at it, her eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and her tone became slightly more serious: “Feng Ling Sheng is from the Feng Family, so you should know that the location is naturally the Feng Family.”
“Is that so? Then I can go and find him.”
Su Yun said.
Ling Qing Yu shook her head with a look of helplessness: “The Feng Family is not that simple, if you were to go, you might not be able to enter!”
“Why so?”
“Your fighting strength is just too low.”
“…”
