Chapter 168 The Origin of Heavenly Sword Peak

This continued until the end of the three-day period.

The tightly closed stone door slowly opened once again.

"It's time, come out."

The elder's voice echoed into the cave.

Lu Xuan slowly opened his eyes, a fleeting look of chaos in them.

He stood up. Although his cultivation level hadn't improved, he gave off an even more unfathomable aura.

It's like a peerless sword hidden in its sheath; once drawn, it will surely cause a sensation.

"Let's go."

Lu Xuan looked at Su Qinghuan, who had also finished her cultivation, and smiled slightly.

The two walked out of the Cleansing Pool side by side.

Outside.

Dugu Jian and his two companions hadn't left yet, seemingly wanting to see just how much benefit the two could gain.

When they saw Su Qinghuan's undisguised aura of the fifth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm.

The expressions on the three people's faces instantly became incredibly interesting.

Liu Han, in particular, looked utterly incredulous and jealous.

"Heavens—the fifth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm?!"

"How is this possible?!"

In just three days, he soared from the half-step Heavenly Origin Realm to the fifth level of Heavenly Origin Realm.

This is practically a ghost story!

When they looked at Lu Xuan, they found that his aura was still at the eighth level of the Soul Platform Realm.

Instead of breaking through, it gives people an even more ordinary feeling?

"Hmph, it seems someone is not fortunate enough to enjoy such an opportunity."

Dugu Jian sneered, feeling slightly better.

Although that woman was a pervert, Lu Xuan thought she was just like that.

As long as he hasn't broken through to the Heavenly Origin Realm, he still has a chance!

Lu Xuan glanced at him indifferently, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

"Yeah?"

"I hope you'll still be this confident next time we meet."

After saying that, he ignored the group of clowns and strode towards the main peak square with Su Qinghuan.

As the top five in the inner sect competition among the new generation of disciples, they were also allowed to go to the secret realm together.

Of course, the most important thing is to go out and see the world with my fellow disciples.

Ziyang Sect, Main Peak Plaza.

Today, this place is exceptionally lively.

Dozens of enormous flying ships hovered in mid-air, each adorned with intricate array patterns and radiating chilling spiritual energy fluctuations.

In the square, hundreds of disciples dressed in various colors stood in neat rows. These were the most elite members of the younger generation of the Ziyang Sect.

Standing at the very front of the group were several elderly men with unfathomable auras; they were the peak masters or powerful elders of the various peaks.

However, they are not the main characters today.

The real protagonists were the young disciples standing behind them.

"Is that Xiao Huohuo, the senior disciple of Lieyang Peak? What a powerful aura!"

"I heard he's already at the peak of the ninth level of the Returning Origin Realm, just one step away from entering the Dharma Aspect Realm!"

"He is probably the one with the best chance of obtaining the inheritance during this trip to the secret realm."

All eyes turned to a young man dressed in a crimson robe.

This person had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, a tall and straight figure, and a faint aura of flames swirling around him.

It was Xiao Huohuo, the senior disciple of Lieyang Peak in this generation.

There were two other people standing beside him.

A man dressed in white, with a cold expression, holding a long sword, exuding a sharp sword intent, was Jian Wuchen, the senior brother of Tianjian Peak.

The other person was dressed in a green robe, holding a folding fan, with a smile on his face. He looked gentle and refined, but there was a shrewdness in his eyes. He was Zhuge Qing, the senior disciple of the Formation Peak.

These three are the three most outstanding geniuses of the Ziyang Sect in this generation!

He is also one of only three male disciples in this generation to reach the peak of the Returning to Origin realm.

Behind them were Lu Xuan, Su Qinghuan, and Dugu Jian, Wang Ba, and Liu Han, who ranked lower in the competition.

As the top five in the inner sect competition, they also qualified for this trip to the secret realm for training.

"quiet!"

Just then, a majestic voice came from the high platform.

The once noisy square instantly fell silent.

Suddenly, Vice Sect Master Li Daoran appeared out of thin air on the high platform, his gaze sweeping across the entire area.

"The reason I have summoned you all is because an ancient secret realm has been discovered in the Chaotic Demon Abyss."

"This secret realm is a cave dwelling left behind by an ancient powerful being, and it is highly likely that it contains an opportunity to break through to the Cave Heaven Realm!"

Cave Heaven Realm!

Upon hearing those three words, everyone present began to breathe rapidly.

Even someone as resolute as Xiao Huohuo had a flicker of fervor in his eyes.

Above the Dharma Aspect Realm lies the Cave Heaven Realm.

That was a true pinnacle of the Eastern Wilderness, capable of suppressing the fate of an entire nation by himself!

"but----"

Li Daoran looked at Lu Xuan and the other four.

Then, his tone changed, becoming somewhat somber.

"The Chaotic Demon Abyss is located at the intersection of the Ziyang Sect, the Heavenly Sword Sect, and the Yin Sha Sect, and is a notorious no-man's-land."

"That place is a melting pot of all sorts of people, not only with all kinds of ferocious monsters, but also with countless desperados."

"Moreover, the Yin Sha Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect will definitely send people to this secret realm when it opens."

When the Yin Sha Sect was mentioned, a hint of killing intent flashed in Li Daoran's eyes.

These words were mainly addressed to Lu Xuan and the other four.

Most of them had not yet come into contact with the Yin Sha Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect.

"The Yin Sha Sect is a major evil sect, known for its cruel methods. They enjoy absorbing human blood or souls for cultivation and frequently cause slaughter in mortal dynasties."

"Hmph, those rats from the Yin Sha Sect, if they dare to come this time, we'll make sure they don't leave alive!"

Xiao Huohuo snorted coldly, and the fiery aura around him suddenly surged.

Li Daoran nodded and continued, "Besides the Yin Sha Sect, the Tian Jian Sect will probably also send someone this time."

"Although the Heavenly Sword Sect is also a righteous sect, its style of doing things is extremely domineering, and it insists on breaking all laws with one sword."

"Especially their disciples, they are all warmongers. If you encounter them, remember to be careful."

At this point, Li Daoran glanced intentionally or unintentionally in the direction of Tianjian Peak.

"Set off!"

At Li Daoran's command, dozens of flying boats took off simultaneously, transforming into streaks of light and speeding towards the Chaotic Demon Abyss.

On the flying boat.

Lu Xuan and Su Qinghuan stood on the deck, looking down at the mountains and rivers rushing past.

"Junior Brother Lu, Junior Sister Su."

Just then, Xiao Huohuo walked over with a hearty smile on his face.

"This journey to the secret realm was extremely dangerous."

"Not only must we be wary of the Yin Sha Sect, but we must also be extremely cautious about the Heavenly Sword Sect—"

Xiao Huohuo lowered his voice as he spoke, glancing subtly at the group from Tianjian Peak not far away.

"Be careful of the Heavenly Sword Sect?"

Seeing Xiao Huohuo's actions, Lu Xuan's heart stirred, and he asked, "What do you mean by that, Senior Brother Xiao?"

"Does the Heavenly Sword Sect have some kind of grudge against our Purple Sun Sect?"

Xiao Huohuo nodded, his expression becoming somewhat complicated.

"It's more than just having a grudge."

Do you know the origin of Heavenly Sword Peak?

Lu Xuan and Su Qinghuan exchanged a glance and both shook their heads.

"Actually, Tianjian Peak did not originally belong to Ziyang Sect."

"It was once a branch of the Heavenly Sword Sect."

"Several hundred years ago, the Heavenly Sword Sect was in turmoil. The elders of this lineage led their disciples to betray the sect and join my Ziyang Sect, which is how the Heavenly Sword Peak came to be today."

"Therefore, the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect have always regarded Heavenly Sword Peak as a traitor and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible."
