Chapter 853: The Wild Ancient Realm
In the Sword Domain's capital city, the sound of ten thousand swords resonated through the air.
Streams of vast spiritual energy descended upon the city's center, each representing the presence of a Heaven Supreme powerhouse beings who commanded awe and reverence across the Great Thousand World.
One by one, these Heaven Supremes took their seats, drawing gazes of admiration from countless spectators.
Finally, three figures arrived late, landing atop the highest platform. Each radiated an aura as deep and boundless as the ocean.
Even among the Heaven Supremes present, their appearance elicited feelings of awe. Beneath the platform, countless sword cultivators gazed up at the trio with utmost respect, especially the figure in the center clad in azure robes with a long sword strapped to his back.
This was none other than the Azure Clad Sword Saint!
The other two were equally extraordinary: Xiao Ze, the famed Lord of the Origin Realm, and Huang Qiu, leader of the Wild Ancient Clan. Even those unfamiliar with their identities quickly learned of them through whispers among the well informed.
The awe of the crowd turned into fervent admiration. These three figures represented the pinnacle of power in the Great Thousand World, standing above even the most esteemed Heaven Supremes. Their presence here was a once in a lifetime sight for many.
The gathered Heaven Supremes stood and bowed respectfully toward the three, a gesture of reverence for their unmatched status.
The Sword Saint, ever composed, smiled and waved a hand.
"There's no need for such formality. The Sword Domain is honored to host so many esteemed guests for the Myriad Sword Spiritual Domain."
His voice echoed warmly across the city, calming the assembly. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the Sword Saint turned his attention to the countless sword cultivators below, offering words of encouragement.
Then, without further delay, he waved his sleeve, and a beam of sword light sliced through the void.
A massive passage opened in the sky a gateway to the Myriad Sword Spiritual Domain!
The Myriad Sword Spiritual Domain
Inside the domain, everything mountains, rivers, plants, and even creatures was related to swords.
From the Sword Qi Sea to the Sword Edge Mountain, even the smallest beasts could emit sword qi, making this a true haven for sword cultivators.
This domain, crafted by the Sword Saint and other Sword Domain elites, was designed as a testing ground for their disciples and a blessing for all sword cultivators across the Great Thousand World.
Anyone who practiced the sword path could enter and find unique opportunities. For the most gifted, the domain offered a chance to catch the eye of a Heaven Supreme and become their disciple, a life changing opportunity.
In past iterations of the event, such occurrences were not uncommon. However, the majority of talented sword cultivators typically chose to join the Sword Domain, competing for the chance to become a disciple of this revered institution.
Thus, the Myriad Sword Spiritual Domain served dual purposes: providing blessings to the world's sword cultivators and acting as a recruitment mechanism for the Sword Domain.
Even those who failed the selection process often left with valuable insights and opportunities, ensuring the domain's reputation as a grand event no sword cultivator wanted to miss.
Observing the Trials
On the main plaza, spectators watched a massive projection of the Myriad Sword Spiritual Domain, observing the struggles and triumphs of the sword cultivators within.
Among them were the gathered Heaven Supremes, who occasionally commented on promising candidates, though such talents were rare. After all, to stand out in the eyes of a Heaven Supreme, one had to be truly extraordinary.
On the highest platform, Huang Qiu couldn't hide his excitement as he studied the jade slip containing the recipe for the Primordial Body Refinement Pill.
"This pill is remarkable. While the initial effects may seem subtle, its power grows exponentially with each successive dose, even enhancing physiques that are already refined to the extreme!"
His voice carried a hint of awe as he marveled at the possibilities.
As the leader of the Wild Ancient Clan, a group devoted to physical refinement, Huang Qiu deeply understood the value of such a pill. He envisioned a future where his clan's collective strength soared, potentially reaching new heights.
Taking a deep breath, Huang Qiu turned to Xiao Ze with a determined expression.
"Xiao Ze, if this recipe is as effective as it claims, I'll stake my position as clan leader to ensure your request is fulfilled!"
Xiao Ze smiled warmly. "Thank you, Clan Leader Huang. I trust that your influence will be more than sufficient."
Huang Qiu's enthusiastic response made it clear that the pill's value had struck a chord. With such an eager ally, Xiao Ze felt confident that the Wild Ancient Clan's Council of Elders would support his request.
Even the stubborn traditionalists among the elders would likely be swayed, given the potential benefits to the clan's strength.
As the Myriad Sword Spiritual Domain's trials continued, Xiao Ze, Huang Qiu, and the Sword Saint engaged in lighthearted conversation, occasionally glancing at the projection of the sword cultivators' struggles.
Journey to the Wild Ancient Realm
After the event concluded, Xiao Ze didn't linger long in the Sword Domain. Accompanied by Huang Qiu, he set off for the Wild Ancient Continent.
Like the Sword Domain, the Wild Ancient Continent was a vast supercontinent, though it lay only a short distance away just over a hundred smaller continents separated the two.
With Huang Qiu as his guide, Xiao Ze encountered no obstacles upon arrival and was quickly brought into the Wild Ancient Realm.
Huang Qiu turned to Xiao Ze with a confident smile.
"Xiao Ze, I'll convene the Council of Elders immediately. Rest assured, you'll receive a satisfactory answer."
He escorted Xiao Ze to a tranquil courtyard to rest before heading off to arrange the meeting.
Left alone, Xiao Ze retrieved a golden flask. Within it was a swirling ocean of purified spiritual liquid, gathered from the various absorption nodes he had set up on his journey.
"On the way here, I established a few more absorption points. The liquid inside has replenished nicely."
Satisfied, Xiao Ze took a deep drink. The potent energy within the liquid surged through him, further refining his body and soul.
He smiled, feeling the gradual progress in his cultivation. Though small, each step brought him closer to new heights.
A Successful Meeting
The next morning, Huang Qiu arrived at Xiao Ze's courtyard, his expression full of joy.
"Xiao Ze, the Council has reached a decision. Come, I'll take you to see the Desolate God Physique!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ze's face lit up with a smile of his own.
"Thank you, Clan Leader Huang."
