Sword Rises in the Blue Lagoon, Why Are All the Sword Cultivation Families Older Than Old Six?

"Brother Lu, please wait," Ye Xuan called out to Lu Ming.

"Brother Ye, if you have something to say, just say it," he said with a smile, returning.

"If Brother Lu doesn't mind, I'd like to hear about your conflict with that person at the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion. If there's anything inconvenient to say, you don't have to," Ye Xuan said.

"Actually, there's nothing inconvenient about it. His name is Zheng Yu, and he's a direct descendant of the Zheng family. His father is the head of the Zheng family. The Zheng family is powerful. Although our Lu family is also considered one of the four major families, our power and strength are less than 50% of the Zheng family's. Moreover, I'm not valued by my family, so I don't have the ability to compete with him," Lu Ming said seriously.

Ye Xuan nodded after listening and said, "I see. Was it him who injured you last night?"

Lu Ming nodded, and Ye Xuan continued, "If Brother Lu doesn't mind, I can help you eliminate this threat in two days."

Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, Lu Ming anxiously activated the soundproof formation and said urgently, "Brother Ye, you mustn't! The Zheng family's ancestor has reached the ninth level of the Transformation God stage. It will bring unnecessary trouble to you. One day, I will make him pay for his blood debt."

Ye Xuan smiled slightly and said, "It's alright. Brother Lu, don't worry. It's just the Zheng family. Besides, I won't let them notice, or it will bring trouble to you and the Lu family."

"Brother Ye, do you really want to do this?" Lu Ming asked, both surprised and fearful.

"Wait for my news two days after I leave the Imperial Capital."

Time flew by, and two days had passed. Ye Xuan arrived at the Treasure Pavilion, took the resources he had purchased, and before leaving, gave Deacon Huang a communication jade slip, saying, "In the future, if I need any resources, I will send a message to Deacon Huang in advance. Once the resources are gathered, I will send someone over to collect them. I wonder if Deacon Huang finds this difficult."

"Fellow Daoist Ye, rest assured, Huang will certainly not fail to live up to your trust."

After leaving, Ye Xuan thought that there was still one thing to deal with, which was to help Lu Ming eliminate Zheng Yu. Lu Ming sent him to the city gate, and Ye Xuan cupped his fist to bid farewell to Lu Ming, also giving Lu Ming a communication jade slip, saying, "You can send a message to me if anything happens. Farewell." He believed that Lu Ming was not someone who would send a message unless it was absolutely necessary.

After leaving the Imperial Capital's range, the three of them stopped in the air, and Ye Xuan instructed One-Zero-One, "Go and kill Zheng Yu, and do it cleanly. Don't let the old guys in the Imperial Capital discover it."

"Yes, Clan Leader," One-Zero-One accepted the order and left.

That night, the streets and alleys of the Imperial Capital were filled with members of the Zheng family. Lu Ming also received news that Zheng Yu had been killed by someone who shattered his divine soul with a single blow.

Without finding any clues, Ye Xuan and his group were already far away from the Imperial Capital and could no longer see the lively scene.

The journey here was unhurried, but the return was rushed. Two days later, Ye Xuan and his group arrived at Qing Shi City. Ye Xuan first went to the City Lord's Mansion and gave Mu Bai a healing pill produced by the system, then returned to Mist Island without disturbing anyone, returning to his own cave. He used his voice to summon the Great Elder, and two spatial rings appeared in his hand. Ye Xuan opened his mouth and said, "Great Elder, has the clan been well these past few days while I was away?"

"Clan Leader, the clan is as it always was. Hearing from the Clan Leader that a great era will descend in ten years, the clansmen are cultivating very actively," the Great Elder said.

"That's good. Immediately distribute these cultivation resources to the clansmen. Tell the clansmen not to be rash in their cultivation, and also to comprehend the sword path and hone their combat power. Now that we have the Sword Inquiry Stele and the Trial Tower, progress in this area will also be very rapid," Ye Xuan said solemnly.

The Great Elder cupped his hands and said, "Clan Leader, rest assured, I will personally supervise them." After the Great Elder left, Ye Xuan handed One-Zero-One a spatial ring and said, "These are the cultivation resources for your Protector Hall. The Sword Inquiry Stele and Trial Tower within the clan can be used without limit. Go."

After speaking, Ye Xuan closed his eyes and used his divine sense to investigate the cultivation situation of the clansmen. There were quite a few people breaking into the Trial Tower, mostly in normal mode. There were a few scattered clansmen in the martial arts field, all of whom were of the younger generation. The rest were all comprehending the sword path in front of the Sword Inquiry Stele of the Chaos Dao Tower, with the Great Elders at the very front.

After looking around and finding nothing unusual, Ye Xuan also entered the Chaos Dao Tower, chose an uninhabited place, took out top-grade spirit stones, and began to cultivate. With top-grade spirit veins and top-grade spirit stones, even Ye Xuan's Chaos Sword Body's refining speed overflowed quite a bit. His main goal now was to improve his own cultivation and upgrade the clan's rank as soon as possible.

Several months later, he advanced to the seventh level of the Transformation God stage, feeling that he had encountered a bottleneck. Continuing to cultivate like this wouldn't improve him much, so he chose to venture into the Trial Tower to solidify his foundation before improving his cultivation.

As soon as he entered, the Tower Spirit's voice rang out, "Trial taker, please choose a mode: Normal Mode, Hell Mode."

Ye Xuan opened his mouth, "I choose Normal Mode," he thought, wanting to see how many levels he could pass in Normal Mode.

The scene changed. On the grassland, a man at the seventh level of the Transformation God stage, wielding a broadsword, stood opposite him, raising his hand and slashing a blade of light towards him. Ye Xuan leisurely raised his finger, and a sword qi pierced through the blade of light, heading straight for the man's brow. The man stiffened and fell to the ground.

Ye Xuan shouted at the void, "Next level!" The scene changed again, and at the top of the mountain were two masked men, also killed with a single move.

Ye Xuan hacked and slashed all the way. The eleventh to twentieth levels were Barbarians, the twenty-first to thirtieth levels were Winged People. The thirty-first to fortieth levels were Demons. By the forty-first level, it was already the second level of the Dharma Idol stage. The current scene was a giant crocodile several feet long lying on a reef in the sea, opening its bloody mouth and attacking Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan's sword qi struck the giant crocodile's body but didn't break through its defenses. Ye Xuan was shocked and hurriedly dodged. The giant crocodile's attack moves were strange, making Ye Xuan feel flustered for a while.

In the end, Ye Xuan still used the Myriad Swords Return to One Technique to kill the giant crocodile. His Myriad Swords Return to One Technique had been cultivated to a small success, and each time he could condense the power of a hundred swords. Ye Xuan sighed, still lacking experience and practical combat experience.

Ye Xuan killed all the way to the fifty-first level. On this level, a tall figure surrounded by black aura stood in front of Ye Xuan. It was undoubtedly a Demon. The Demon's attack methods were even more bizarre, causing him to suffer a lot at first, but after slowly adapting, he counter-killed the opponent.

When Ye Xuan reached the sixty-first level, the opposite side turned out to be a monk. The monk began to chant, and instantly the entire space was swallowed by Buddhist light, and the divine soul began to be invaded. Ye Xuan was shocked and thought it was bad, and quickly guarded his mind, abandoning the Sanskrit sound. He used the Rending Sky Sword Technique to break the space and attacked the opponent with the Shadowless Sword Technique, but the monk transformed into gold, blocking his sword. Is this the legendary Buddhist Golden Body? Ye Xuan thought secretly.

In the end, Ye Xuan used the Shadowless Sword Technique and the Myriad Swords Return to One Technique to pass this level. When he reached the seventieth level, ten monks formed a Vajra Formation, and Ye Xuan had no hope of winning and was transmitted out of the Trial Tower.

Ye Xuan initially thought that he could pass the Normal Mode in one go, but now it seems that the cultivation world is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there is always someone better.

Therefore, Ye Xuan went back and forth between the Chaos Dao Tower and the Trial Tower, making the clansmen pay more attention to the Trial Tower.

He even only went to the Sword Inquiry Stele twice. When you observe the Sword Inquiry Stele, it will pull your divine sense into a special space. Inside, there are sword dao mysteries from low to high, swords shattering mountains and rivers, swords slashing the sky, a sword plucking stars, and a sword severing the river of time.
