Martial Arts, the Fairy's Cultivation

"Senior Brother Sect Leader, what is the origin of that divine object? We have been guarding it for years, yet we know nothing about it."

An elder at the Qi Creation Realm gazed at the purple lotus petals deep within the secret realm, his eyes flickering slightly.

Several years ago, a rare treasure fell from the sky and landed in the Ancient Sword Sect. Over the years, the sect's powerful members have made various attempts to uncover the secrets of the heavenly object.

However, that mysterious purple energy was extremely stable. Even a powerful expert at the peak of the Creation Realm could not shake it in the slightest, no matter how hard they tried. It seemed to have existed since time immemorial.

This result made the Ancient Sword Sect even more aware that the level of that petal-shaped treasure was probably far beyond the imagination of the Great Yan Dynasty. Therefore, the Ancient Sword Sect regarded it as a divine object, set up a barrier to seal off the space, and stationed powerful experts to guard it day and night.

Although the true purpose of the divine object is unknown, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that it spontaneously gathers is a real opportunity for the cultivators of the Ancient Sword Sect.

Over the years, thanks to the cultivation environment within the Divine Treasury, the Ancient Sword Sect has seen an increasing number of powerful figures emerge. Originally, the sect only had three Qi Creation Realm cultivators, but now that number has increased to nearly ten. The sect leader of the Ancient Sword Sect has even reached the Creation Realm in just a few years.

If the sect leader succeeds in breaking through, the Ancient Sword Sect will be able to rise to become a top power in the Great Wilderness County, and will be a very prominent existence in the entire Great Yan Dynasty!

With the emergence of more and more powerful figures, many people believe that if given enough time to develop, the Ancient Sword Sect is very likely to rival the four major clans and three major sects!

Today, the divine artifacts have an unshakeable position in the Ancient Sword Sect. Even the Great Wilderness Ancient Sword, which was once regarded as the sect's treasure, can no longer compare to them.

That divine object seemed to possess a kind of magic, enough to make all those with weak minds succumb.

The white-haired old man, who was at the half-step Creation Realm, pondered for a moment and then slowly spoke:

"This divine object is a gift from heaven. We should serve it with utmost devotion day and night. One day we will be able to discover its secrets, and at that time our Ancient Sword Sect will..."

Upon hearing this, the elders of the Ancient Sword Sect, though somewhat hesitant, couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

Given the origin of that divine object, if we could truly uncover its secrets, it would undoubtedly be an unprecedented stroke of luck for the sect. In fact, the Ancient Sword Sect might even transcend the Great Yan Dynasty and rise to a higher level of super power! At that time, everyone would rise to prominence, and all of them would receive unimaginable benefits.

"Destiny rests with my Ancient Sword Sect..."

The white-haired sect leader stood with his hands behind his back. The world is so vast, why did that divine object not appear anywhere else, but only within the Ancient Sword Sect?

It is the mandate of heaven.

"Hmm? Someone actually disregarded the ban and stepped into my sect's gate."

The white-haired sect leader's gaze narrowed slightly. He saw a figure appear in the distant sky, seemingly oblivious to the Ancient Sword Sect's blockade, and stride directly towards the location of the Divine Treasury.

This scene caused all the experts of the Ancient Sword Sect to frown.

Originally, outsiders were forbidden from entering the territory belonging to the sect. Now, with such a precious treasure bestowed by heaven, any outsider's covetousness will arouse the united hatred of the entire Ancient Sword Sect.

"Hmph! Who dares to trespass on the sacred grounds of the Ancient Sword Sect?"

An elder with a fiery temper immediately shouted a question, his attitude one of arrogance.

Walking on air, the newcomer was at least a Creation Realm expert, but the Ancient Sword Sect members, who had dominated the ancient abandoned ravine for many years and were untouchable, became increasingly arrogant.

Therefore, although the elder sect leader felt something was amiss, he did not speak up to stop it, as protecting the secret of the divine treasure was the most important thing at the moment.

Seeing that the newcomers ignored the warnings and continued to enter the forbidden area, the white-haired sect leader had no choice but to issue an order: "Ancient Sword Sect disciples, listen to my command, withdraw from the barrier area and be on guard."

Immediately, the powerful members of the Ancient Sword Sect each used their own methods to reinforce the seal of the Divine Treasure Land.

As everyone waited in anticipation, the figure in the sky traversed a vast distance and finally appeared before them.

Dressed in white and barefoot, she appeared aloof and otherworldly, her face veiled by a light gauze, ethereal and otherworldly.

The appearance of the newcomer caused a momentary shock among all the powerful figures present.

The enemy who forcibly entered the forbidden area was such a young woman, whose appearance and temperament were unparalleled in the world. Such a special person must have quite an impressive background.

At this moment, the arrogance of the Ancient Sword Sect members subsided slightly. No one wanted to provoke a young powerhouse of unknown origin. If the other party was merely passing by, perhaps today's matter could be let go...

But they soon realized that the woman in white had not concealed her purpose at all. A moment later, she hovered above the Ancient Sword Sect, her cold and indifferent gaze sweeping over all the figures present before landing directly on the purple lotus petals within the barrier.

"Hmph! Your attitude is far too dismissive of us!"

The elders' faces were grim. The newcomer's condescending attitude was even more arrogant and disdainful than that of their Ancient Sword Sect. They had witnessed it firsthand today!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the woman finally spoke, her voice as cold and clear as frost, like a piece of eternal, unmelting ice.

"I've come to retrieve something today. If you have no connection to this, please leave."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Zi ignored the angry gazes and pointed her jade finger downwards. An energy wave instantly erupted from the depths of the mountain range, with faint purple light shining through the barrier and converging towards the sky.

"You audacious madman!"

The powerful figures present were shocked and enraged to see that the divine object, which had never reacted to the outside world, was actually levitated by the white-clad woman and slowly rose into the sky.

puff--

When the petals collided with the energy barrier, unsurprisingly, the seal painstakingly set up by the Ancient Sword Sect was instantly broken, dissipating into nothingness amidst the flowing purple light.

"Oh no! She's going to take the divine object! Stop her!"

Seeing that the treasure entrusted to the future of countless people in the sect was about to be taken away, the hot-tempered elder of the Ancient Sword Sect immediately lost his mind. He soared into the air and headed straight for the white-clad figure in the sky.

The power belonging to the Qi Creation Realm surged wildly, and the Yuan Power roared out, transforming into a giant crimson-black energy sword that slashed down at the space in front of it.

"Stop right there!"

Facing the scorching heat wave coming from behind, Mu Zi didn't turn her head. She casually condensed a petal, broke through space, and drifted away.

The petal was only the size of a fingertip, inconspicuous, yet it pierced through the formidable crimson-black giant sword in an instant, even dissipating the Yuan energy containing the intent to create Qi.

A flash of purple light, silent and still, imprinted itself on the black-robed figure radiating a violent aura. With a muffled thud of bones breaking, the figure, like a kite with a broken string, plummeted into the abyss amidst incredulous gazes...
