Chapter 892
In the middle of the Pluto Sword Tomb, there was a pyramid mausoleum that absorbed all the energy from its surroundings . It being in the center symbolizes its importance as the center of Heaven and Earth .
Meanwhile in the palace .
Veins were building on Wang Jie’s face . He was agitated . “Father, Ling Feiyu is too arrogant! I’m the eldest son of the Clan Leader, and I’ve apologized to her, but she does not accept it . I can endure the humiliation, but she’s being disrespectful to you, tarnishing your reputation and honor . I can’t tolerate this, Father . ”
Wang Jie did not get Ling Feiyu’s forgiveness even though he had knelt before her for the entire night .
He was a Half-Saint and the son of the Clan Leader . Ling Feiyu might be a Sword Saint, but this was a huge humiliation to him .
The whole tribe of Guardians of the Prison were laughing at him . Particularly, Shi Ren must have made fun of him behind his back .
He could not take the humiliation, therefore he stood up and rushed to the Sword Mausoleum and ranted to his father .
The Clan Leader of The Guardian of the Prisons, Wang Beilie, stared at Wang Jie with cold eyes . “Endurance is the key . You’re a Half-Saint now, how could you act impulsively? When will you learn to be thoughtful?”
“Ling Feiyu is one of the Nine Leaders of the Demonic Sect . Three hundred years ago, she already achieved the Peak of the Heavenly Realm when she was only nineteen years old . Then, she was crowned as the most talented one among her peers, known as the Saintess . Nobody could out-win her . ”
“And now, her cultivation has advanced, along with her strength and her exquisite sword techniques . Even I as the clan leader have to pay respect to her . ”
“Besides, Ling Feiyu is here at the Pluto Sword Tomb to fulfill her oath pledged to Heaven-Burier Sword, to fight the Immortal Vampires . She will leave when the Immortal Vampires are defeated . ”
“Having said that, your enemy isn’t Ling Feiyu, but Shi Ren . To be the Young Clan Leader, you have to be better than Shi Ren . Besides, make some alliances along the way to pave your way to be the next Clan Leader . ”
Wang Jie would never move past his hatred towards Ling Feiyu, but he did not dare to show it to his father .
The name “Shi Ren” made Wang Jie snort . “I’m already a Level Five Half-Saint cultivation, but Shi Ren is only at Level Two . I don’t see what the old folks see in him . It makes no sense for them to support him instead of me . ”
Then suddenly he lifted his head to look at his father as if remembering something . “Shi Ren and Zhang Ruochen are close, plus, Zhang Ruochen is accused of colluding with the Immortal Vampires . If we can prove this, we can defeat Shi Ren . ”
Wang Beilie nodded in agreement, but his eyes seemed concerned, “Zhang Ruochen is a trouble indeed . A wanted felon, and a suspect spy of the Immortal Vampires . If Sword Saint Xuanji was dead, I would have kicked him out of the Pluto Sword Tomb . ”
Sword Saint Xuanji was backing Zhang Ruochen . No one dared to challenge him without giving a second thought . Wang Beilie, too, was aware of this .
Wang Jie on other hand, did not consider that much . To him, siding with Shi Ren meant he’s a potential threat that’d obstruct him from being the Clan Leader . A threat he had to get rid of .
Wang Jie snorted again . “All the evidence is showing that Zhang Ruochen is the spy of the Immortal Vampires . Had Ling Feiyu not spoken for him, he would have been beheaded the other night . ”
Wang Jie could tell Ling Feiyu was biased toward Zhang Ruochen . So could Wang Beilie .
“Nevertheless, Zhang Ruochen is the Keeper of the Taotian Sword . If we want him dead, it should not be us doing the job . Others might say we are ungrateful,” said Wang Beilie .
Wang Jie flashed his eyes and asked, “Father, are you saying we have plans to take him down, through the hands of others?”
Wang Beilie’s expression remained unchanged . He answered, “In two days’ time, Little Saint God Wan Zhaoyi and the Saint Lady will pay us a visit at the Pluto Sword Tomb . They are here to discuss the strategies of defeating the Immortal Vampires . You should welcome them when they are here . ” Wang Beilie did not say much, but Wang Jie knew what his father meant .
Taking Zhang Ruochen down by leveraging the influence of the imperial court was indeed a wise plan .
Get others to do the fighting for you .
Even Ling Feiyu could not go against the imperial court . By that time, Zhang Ruochen would be eliminated from the game . It would be better if Shi Ren could be dragged into it .
…
Ling Feiyu’s cave abode was a sacred mountain located at the other side of the Pluto Sword Tomb, called by the name Bamboo Mountain . The place was filled with Spiritual Qi .
Zhang Ruochen was here too, since he could not leave .
Although Ling Feiyu knew most of Zhang Ruochen’s secrets, she had no idea about the Universe Spiritual Map .
Of course, Zhang Ruochen would not present the map to her .
He could not enter the map and had to stay at the Bamboo Mountain to practice his Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm . During the training, he had to absorb the power of Divine Blood that was hidden inside his blood and muscles .
Within half a day, Zhang Ruochen struck a thousand and three hundred palms consecutively . The strike of the palms was deafening, and could be heard even at the distance of a hundred miles away .
The Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm was a divine masculine energy that was fierce and powerful . Zhang Ruochen had succeeded the cultivation of the Ninth Palm . The energy warmed his body with the heat of a flaming sun .
Followed by each palm strike, the heat was transferred to the surroundings and melted the ground .
Zhang Ruochen took a deep long breath and retracted his arms slowly . The heat was ebbed away like the tides .
“I have absorbed half of the strength of the Divine Blood . Two more days and I shall be done absorbing it . ”
Zhang Ruochen could feel his power had strengthened a little more .
“To have succeeded in cultivating the Ninth Palm at your current age, you are far ahead of your peers . ”
Ling Feiyu appeared in front of Zhang Ruochen unexpectedly, about ten meters away .
She was wearing the same lilac blouse and covered her face with a veil . Her whole body was emanating a saintly light, which complemented her mysterious and alluring beauty .
Zhang Ruochen showed no fear in the face of a Sword Saint . He was composed and calm as usual . “I’m surprised to be complimented by Sword Saint Feiyu . ”
“Nothing to be surprised about . If it wasn’t for your talent, I wouldn’t have saved you the other night . ” Ling Feiyu replied lightly .
Zhang Ruochen smiled in reply .
It was true . If Ling Feiyu had not saved him from the Pluto Sword Tomb, he would have been dead by now .
Ling Feiyu said, “Come with me, I will show you a place . ”
“Where?” asked Zhang Ruochen .
“You will find out when you are there . ”
Her reply ended with a slashing sound . Ling Feiyu had diminished into a purple light ray and flew to the top of the bamboo forest .
Zhang Ruochen caught up with Ling Feiyu using his Luan Phoenix Deity Print Speed . There were flames beneath his feet as if he was stepping on a Phoenix .
Ling Feiyu was testing Zhang Ruochen so she did not go on at full speed .
The chase went on for another two thousand miles and finally, Ling Feiyu landed in a black wilderness .
Zhang Ruochen landed shortly after her .
The black wilderness was freezing cold . Any water that came in contact with the ground would be frozen to ice cubes immediately .
However, there was a volcano somewhere further away from the wilderness .
The two powers of ice and fire were in alignment with each other .
Zhang Ruochen lifted his head to stare at the sky . Black stormy clouds were pressing against the ground, and lightning strikes could be seen in between the cloud line and the ground . It was the image of when the world was born .
“Where is this?”
Zhang Ruochen looked serious .
“This is the Sword Tomb . ”
Ling Feiyu stepped into the black wilderness and said, “Since the ancient times, this has always been the tomb for all swords . The ground beneath us has buried countless swords and the sword warriors . ”
“No one knew about how this place was formed, only the power this place contained . ”
“What power?” asked Zhang Ruochen .
Ling Feiyu stared at Zhang Ruochen . “In here, your strength as a sword warrior will multiply . But for other monks, they will be held in prison . ”
Zhang Ruochen was surprised by the power the place had .
He stopped and scanned through the surroundings with the Eye of the Deity Print . He was shocked that the rules of sword mastery were stricter, at least ten times more than the outside world .
It was also the only rule that was applicable . There weren’t any other rules of other saintly ways .
One could imagine his sword mastery level would excel in days if one could train in the Sword Tomb .
Zhang Ruochen exclaimed, “I understand now! Ever since the medieval age, the special power was the reason mankind had the prison built in the Sword Tomb . ”
If Lord Pluto could not escape, how could the others?
Ling Feiyu answered, “On top of that, the Sword Tomb has another form of power, the power to regenerate . ”
“What do you mean?” Zhang Ruochen was confused .
“If you bury a broken sword in the Sword Tomb for centuries, ten centuries, or even a hundred centuries, the broken sword buried would regenerate to its former form, or even excel its initial condition . Of course, swords of higher grade would take more time . The higher the grade of the sword, the longer the time needed . ” Ling Feiyu answered .
This was unbelievable in the eyes of others .
But this was from Ling Feiyu . What she said must have been the truth .
