Supreme Emperor of Swords

A cluster of purple light lingered above the gate of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. The purple Qi was royal.

At that moment in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, almost everyone looked up to witness the sudden change. They didn’t know what had happened. Even many elder leaders who had been cultivating in seclusion were alarmed. Streaks of purple Dragon Qi were constantly rising from the cliff of the garbage area at the back of the mountain, dyeing the whole sky dark purple.

“What happened?”

“The endless purple light actually shot out from… the garbage area at the back of the mountain? Could it be that some amazing treasure has appeared in the garbage area? Or could it be that some elders and experts from the sect were in seclusion there and finally broke through, grasping the magical Kung Fu?”

“You’re thinking too much. Who would go to the garbage area for a closed-door training?”

“Hehe, that’s not certain. Senior Brother Ding, the “Saber and Sword Addict,” came out of the garbage area…”

“Ah, how powerful the Qi is! I can feel the endless power that is shrouding the mountain gate!”

“This… seems to be the energy of mysterious crystals. It’s too crazy. I seem to be completely immersed in mysterious crystals. All of a sudden there’s a dense purple Qi in our sect. It seems that there is something amazing in the back mountain!”

In different areas of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, many people exclaimed and made various speculations.

“What happened? It seems to be in the direction of our house?” said a girl dressed in a cyan suit as she looked up at the sky from the area of nominal disciples. Her gem like beautiful eyes showed a little worry. She looked at a beautiful girl with special temperament who sat cross-legged on a rush cushion nearby. She shouted, “Sister Xue’er, let’s go to the back mountain and have a look!”

Gao Xue’er, who was in the same warrior suit, slowly stood up.

At such a young age, she was graceful, shapely and curvaceous, already showing beauty and traits of nobility. She had full breasts, a delicate neck, slim waist, streamlined legs and fine skin… Moreover, her tight-fitting warrior suit revealed her good shape, which made her look even more attractive.

Gao Xue’er raised her head and looked at the purple Qi in the sky. She nodded and said, “Let’s go to the Western Academy of red shirts to get Huanhuan. Then we’ll go home and have a look!”

On the main peak, Li Jianyi’s face also changed greatly.

The purple Dragon Qi rushed up to the sky from the direction of the garbage area behind the mountain. There were faint dragon roars echoing in the void. It was clear that the Spiritual Qi of the mysterious crystals was overflowing. Instantly, he moved and turned into a stream of flowing light, flying toward the back of the cliff in the garbage area.

Several streams of flowing light fell down.

The most powerful people in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect almost arrived at the same time to have a look at the cliff in the garbage area at the back of the mountain.

The place was full of rubbish. With years of wind, rain, and snow, the stinky black mud formed a deadly swamp in which all kinds of poisonous insects, snakes, and ants ran wild. After a heavy snowfall, it looked clean and beautiful on the surface, but everyone who arrived knew how terrible and disgusting it was under the snow.

At the very edge of the garbage area, there was a deep cliff.

When Ding Hao fell off the cliff, he accidentally fell into the mysterious cave and had an adventure. From then on, he made a great coup and became the number one genius of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

The strong wind blew as if devils were singing and ghosts cheering.

Dark clouds rolled at the bottom of the deep cliff.

Li Jianyi and the others stood on the edge of the cliff. They saw streaks of majestic purple Dragon Qi rise into the sky from the bottom of the cliff. Each of them had a diameter of three to four meters. After rushing to the sky thousands of meters high, the purple light spread out and turned into groups of purple clouds, covering the whole Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

“What’s going on down there?”

Li Jianyi and Tang Folei looked at each other in dismay.

That garbage area had been abandoned by the sect for thousands of years. It had always been a place where all kinds of waste in the front mountain of the sect was dumped. Usually, it was derelict and the sect ancestors warned that it was a waste land. They had organized masters to explore it once. However, there was a great abyss under the cliff. It was like a maze, and there were countless forking roads. Even the strong people at the Primordial Grandmaster Realm would get lost. Later, they simply turned that place into a forbidden area. Except for dumping garbage, the disciples would not go down the cliff to explore…

“Why did such a strange scene happen all of a sudden?”

The purple Dragon Qi contained incomparable Spiritual Qi. With its continuous surging, the Spiritual Qi of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect increased greatly, and many plants and animals were booming with brilliance. If such a situation could last for a month, the area within a hundred kilometers around the sect would become an incomparable blessed place for martial artists to cultivate.

Flowing light flashed.

The old monster, Qi Qingshan, also appeared at the edge of the cliff.

In just a few seconds, hundreds of figures had arrived. Almost all the high-level leaders of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect had appeared. Many people looked surprised and talked about it. They were clueless about the situation.

On the surface, it was a good thing that Spiritual Qi was gushing out and changing the world.

But if they didn’t figure out the reason, it was still a hidden danger.

“Send someone down to have a look…” After a brief discussion, Li Jianyi and the others quickly made a decision. They selected ten elders at the Congenital Grandmaster realm from among the crowd. They were fully armed, carrying powerful Qi as well as Precious Weapons for defensive and escape purposes. They stagnated in the void and slowly went into the abyss.

“Activate the formation immediately, seal the mountain gate, isolate all purple Qi, and prevent it from leaking out. All inscriptionists in the sect gather here to arrange a Qi concealing formation for me, and don’t let outsiders see the purple Dragon Qi!” Li Jianyi said imperiously and his eyes swept across everyone. “You mustn’t tell this to others. If someone leaks the news, he will be punished for betraying the Sect!”

Everyone nodded and a series of orders were transmitted.

Everything was being carried out in an orderly manner.

Of course, what people cared about the most was to find out what had happened in the deep abyss under the cliff, and why it could lead to such a strange phenomenon.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on what was happening below.

After more than an hour, the clouds below rolled; a figure turned into a flowing light and went up, landing in front of Li Jianyi. He said with a face full of ecstasy, “leader… leader, below… all… are…”

…

The fourth section of the Journey to the West by the Ancient Road was actually a desert.

The pale yellow sand was rolling with the wind, which was as spectacular as waves. The sky was blue and there were no clouds at all. Nine suns appeared in the air, releasing a suffocating heat, burning the earth. It looked as if the stones were going to be dried up.

Sand was everywhere. There was nothing else.

That was an environment full of fire elements all around.

The instant Adorable entered that environment, it immediately became sluggish, and turned into a miniature shape. She leaned on Ding Hao’s shoulder. Evil Moon, the Fat Cat, finally took the consequences of being gluttonous. Its weight soared. The large amount of sweat soaked its white fur, only being able to hold up a pair of white wings to make a cool shade…

Ding Hao was free from discomfort.

On the one hand, his strength had reached the Great Grandmaster Realm. Heat and cold would not affect him. Even if the temperature could almost cook raw meat, it would not be a problem for him as long as he ran his Qi for a bit. On the other hand, Ding Hao practiced Heaven Fire Qi. The ubiquitous fire element here was greatly helpful to improve Ding Hao’s Qi cultivation. It was a very unique cultivation environment.

“F*ck. I can’t stand it anymore. Give me ice…” The Fat Cat used his wings to fan itself, causing a hot current.

Ding Hao ran the Hell Ice Qi and created a piece of mysterious ice out of thin air. Ordinary ice and snow would melt in such an environment in just a moment. However, Ding Hao condensed mysterious ice with Qi and could last for a little longer. Evil Moon and Adorable stuck out their tongues and held the ice, while still complaining about the heat!

Between heaven and earth, endless Qi of tiny fire elemental madly poured into Ding Hao’s body.

That was the world created by the ancient law. The tide of Qi was exactly the same as it was in antiquity. It was very special. For Ding Hao, it was beneficial for him to cultivate Heaven Fire Qi. Moreover, in such a hot environment, it could also temper the body. Ding Hao was using the ancient heat in the air to catalyze the efficacy of the large amount of magic herbs which accumulated in his body during this period of time!

Along the way, Ding Hao had seen signs of battles.

It should be that Song Que, the Demon Royals, and other forces had encountered powerful Surviving Species of the Untainted Land in the desert during their journey. There must have been extremely terrible battles. When they passed by some battlefields, Ding Hao could clearly feel the remnants of various powers, Qi, and Demon Aura in the air!

There were creatures living in the desert.

There were some desert scorpions, snakes and ants who could travel through the sand as freely as fish swimming in the sea. They were Surviving Species of the Untainted Land with fire properties. Whether they were solitary or in groups, they were horrifying. Ding Hao met a desert scorpion king. When it rushed out of the sand, its whole body was hundreds of meters long. His whole body was as black as ink, covered with a black steel-like shell, and the poison needle in his stomach could instantly penetrate the body of a Martial King Realm expert…

After a bitter struggle, Ding Hao killed the scorpion king and obtained a perfect fire essence. He also peeled off its outer shell. In the future, it could be made into a top-grade magical armor. That poisonous needle was even rarer. If it was refined properly, it wouldn’t be impossible for it to become a Precious Weapon.

Ding Hao had a feeling.

In that desert, there should be a mighty king-level divine beast, and it should also be the Divine Beast of Evil ranked 36… That intuition came from the sixth level of the Mind Essential, A World inside the Body, and it didn’t seem to be unreasonable. It made Ding Hao firmly believe that.

However, along the way, Ding Hao didn’t encounter such a divine beast.

Following the trail of Song Que and the others, Ding Hao finally found the gate of the fifth section of the ancient road.
