Chapter 1921: Chapter 1921: Green Cloud Sword Master’s Inheritance Ground
The two major inheritances in the Core Palace of the Chaos Divine Dynasty attracted much attention.
Apart from the divine item in the Forbidden Land, there was also the inheritance of the first sword cultivator, the Green Cloud Sword Master, from a million years ago.
The Green Cloud Sword Master was a powerful figure second only to the Emperor of the Divine Dynasty.
Now, Xuanyuan Tianzhao, the first wielder of the Xuanyuan Sword from the Xuanyuan Clan, has returned, and the rogue cultivator Du Gubai, who rivaled him, has emerged.
Both of these individuals were characters from the same era as the Green Cloud Sword Master, with their Sword Dao second only to the Green Cloud Sword Master, competing for the second place.
In the eyes of outsiders, the inheritance of the Green Cloud Sword Master could only belong to these two and would be decided between them.
Only.
The inheritance of the Green Cloud Sword Master was different from other inheritances.
The inheritance of the Green Cloud Sword Master required a prerequisite: only by gathering the remaining three scattered inheritances could it be obtained.
Sword Soul.
Yuncang Sword, the sword of the Green Cloud Sword Master.
And to forge Sword Bone.
All three of these inheritances were now upon a junior sword cultivator.
Xuanyuan Tianzhao and Du Gubai, if they wished to obtain the core inheritance of the Green Cloud Sword Master, must first take down Ye Qiubai, extract his Sword Bone, and seize the sword soul and Yuncang Sword.
To put it simply, they needed to take Ye Qiubai’s life.
The ninth layer seemed like an entirely different space, or perhaps a world independently created by some great power.
No ground.
Standing above the clouds, only nine steep peaks pierced through the clouds, like nine swords soaring into the sky, standing tall here.
One could distinctly feel how sharp the sword qi contained within these nine peaks was.
From these nine peaks emanated a space where everything, whether immortal aura, clouds, or air currents, seemed to be assimilated by sword intent. Anyone standing here could continually feel the sharp sword intent scratching against their skin.
It would be quite challenging for anyone who is not a sword cultivator to withstand such sword intent and air currents for an extended period.
"Has he entered this place?" Xuanyuan Tianzhao scanned the surroundings, his divine sense swirling out, yet he still couldn’t find any trace of Ye Qiubai.
The Xuanyuan Clan Leader, Xuanyuan Wuji, beside him, reminded, "Ancestor, perhaps we should first unravel the inheritance of the Green Cloud Sword Master; that junior will naturally appear by then."
Upon hearing this, before Xuanyuan Tianzhao could respond, Du Gubai, standing not far away with a conical hat, crossed his arms and sneered, "What, after so many years, has your brain become less effective than a junior’s?"
These words sounded odd.
But it wasn’t inappropriate for Xuanyuan Wuji to call himself a junior before a monster-like Xuanyuan Tianzhao.
Listening to the trio’s conversation, Xuanyuan Che’s expression grew complex.
Back in Cangxuan Academy, Xuanyuan Che had sparred with Ye Qiubai.
To be honest, Ye Qiubai’s character was very much to Xuanyuan Che’s liking.
If not for the issue of alliances, Xuanyuan Che would have been very willing to befriend Ye Qiubai, whether as a friend or a rival, it would have been ideal!
But now.
He was forced to stand on the opposite side.
It was somewhat regrettable.
In the future, there would be one less adversary like him.
Among the young sword cultivators of the Chaos Realm.
Xuanyuan Che was already a top-tier existence. Other sword cultivators hardly caught his eye. With Ye Qiubai gone, Xuanyuan Che naturally felt it was a pity.
No rival, no target to chase.
That, too, was a rather sad situation.
The nine Sword Peaks towered into the sky, sword intent permeating this space.
One had to admit, the Green Cloud Sword Master was worthy of the title of the first sword cultivator of ancient times; even after millions of years, the sword intent he left behind still instilled a chill in Xuanyuan Tianzhao and Du Gubai.
But where exactly was his inheritance left?
Was it related to these nine Sword Peaks?
Yet under the divine sense of everyone, these nine sword edges bore no clues or traces.
Ye Qiubai was just as puzzled as Xuanyuan Tianzhao and others.
At this moment, Ye Qiubai, shrouded in a black robe that concealed his aura, was hidden in the clouds.
He stared at the nine sword edges intently.
His divine sense had already swept over them seven or eight times, finding no clues.
Yet, Ye Qiubai couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off about these nine sword edges.
This feeling was indescribable.
Before finding no leads, Ye Qiubai considered whether it could be the clouds here, or was it to comprehend the sword intent in this place to unlock the Green Cloud Sword Master’s inheritance?
But none of it was correct.
Only the immovable nine sword edges made Ye Qiubai feel uneasy.
Individually, they were fine, but when his gaze swept over the nine sword edges, seeing them as a whole, something seemed off.
Where was the problem?
At this point.
Above, Xuanyuan Tianzhao spoke: "After we draw out that junior, extract the sword soul, strip the Sword Bone, and with the Green Cloud Sword Master’s Yuncang Sword, shall we resolve our battle then? Winner takes all."
Du Gubai nodded in agreement.
Sword Soul, Sword Bone, Yuncang Sword.
All these corresponded to the three inheritances of the Green Cloud Sword Master obtained by Ye Qiubai outside.
Ye Qiubai was not afraid but thinking of extracting bone, soul, and sword? It wouldn’t be that easy.
Wait a minute.
Ye Qiubai suddenly widened his eyes.
Yuncang Sword?
With a grasp, the Yuncang Sword slid into Ye Qiubai’s hand.
Ye Qiubai took a glance at the Yuncang Sword in his hand.
Then fixed his gaze on the nine sword edges.
Finally.
Ye Qiubai understood why these nine sword edges gave him such a strange feeling.
Even Xuanyuan Tianzhao, Xuanyuan Wuji, Du Gubai, and others above hadn’t noticed this feeling.
The reason was simple.
None of them had the Yuncang Sword!
The Yuncang Sword was once the earlier sword of the Green Cloud Sword Master. They hadn’t seen it, which was normal.
The arrangement of the nine Sword Peaks formed the silhouette of the Yuncang Sword!
He had found the key to unlocking the inheritance.
Ye Qiubai smirked slightly.
But opening the inheritance would inevitably be noticed by Xuanyuan Tianzhao and others.
However, hesitating was not in Ye Qiubai’s nature.
Would the opponents leave if he stayed put?
Nothing could be done!
Without any delay.
Ye Qiubai activated the Dao Law of Sword within him.
Now, Ye Qiubai’s Sword Dao had become increasingly close to the Sword Dao Rules Realm.
As sword intent emanated and merged into the Yuncang Sword, the Yuncang Sword began to tremble!
Buzzing!
In a series of sword hums, the Yuncang Sword couldn’t contain itself and unsheathed from Ye Qiubai’s hand!
Shooting straight into the sky, piercing through the clouds, standing atop the nine Sword Peaks, it let out a startling sword whistle!
Xuanyuan Tianzhao, Du Gubai, and others fixed their gaze on the Yuncang Sword.
In almost an instant, everyone’s eyes turned to the ground below.
There stood the upright figure of Ye Qiubai.
"Appearing before us like this, are we being underestimated?" Xuanyuan Tianzhao squinted slightly.
Du Gubai’s sharp eyes emerged beneath his conical hat, scanning Ye Qiubai. He didn’t speak, but his entire body was enveloped in sword intent.
No unnecessary pleasantries.
Du Gubai pointed a finger at Ye Qiubai as a sword!
The sword qi was sharp, the space thin as paper, instantly sliced apart, slashing towards Ye Qiubai!
Ye Qiubai was already prepared, and an ancient longsword appeared in his hand.
It was the Green Cloud Sword!
Against sword cultivators of such caliber, Ye Qiubai would not take any chances.
