After listening to Sword Seven, the Prodigies present were all excited and eager to try.
Sword Seven raised the iron sword in his hand and slashed across the Void Realm.
Instantly, the Void Realm was cut open like a piece of cloth, and a spatial passage appeared.
Sword Seven was the first to step in.
The other Prodigies looked at each other and swarmed into it.
Jun Xiaoyao and others also entered.
After a while, Jun Xiaoyao and others emerged from the spatial passage.
What greeted them was an extremely sharp Sword Qi.
Only then did Jun Xiaoyao and the others look around.
They found themselves in the depths of a mysterious and profound starry sky.
In the distance, a vast galaxy stretched across the dark sky.
Upon closer inspection, everyone was horrified to discover that the so-called galaxy was actually composed of countless Sword Qi.
Each wisp of Sword Qi was like a silver fish, flowing in the galaxy.
Roughly speaking, there were more than hundreds of millions of Sword Qi!
"Hiss… Is that the legendary Sword Qi Star River that surrounds the Sword Tomb?"
"It is said that if a Quasi Emperor falls into it, they will be instantly attacked by thousands of Sword Qi and be torn into countless dust motes."
Some Cultivators from the Nine Heavens present were amazed.
None of the Ten Forbidden Zones of the Nine Heavens were simple; each had its own profound heritage.
This Sword Qi Star River was one of the Sword Tomb's profound heritages, eternally encircling the Sword Tomb.
It could also be considered the Sword Tomb's great protective array, with immense power.
Jun Xiaoyao understood after seeing this.
Why the Ten Forbidden Zones could exist for so long, overlooking the Vast Expanse of ages.
From this tip of the iceberg, it could be seen that these Forbidden Zones were extremely extraordinary.
No wonder every great upheaval was like an apocalyptic catastrophe.
However, the only thing worth celebrating was that not all Ten Forbidden Zones would participate in the upheaval.
For example, the Sword Tomb had never participated, always remaining on the sidelines.
Everyone followed behind Sword Seven.
As they approached the Sword Qi Star River, the aura released by Sword Seven automatically opened a path through it.
After passing through the Sword Qi Star River, everyone finally saw the true appearance of the Sword Tomb.
The entire Sword Tomb was located on an ancient continent suspended deep in the starry sky.
That ancient continent was incredibly vast, enveloped in a desolate and ancient aura.
Its shape resembled a tomb, which was very fitting for the Sword Tomb.
Above the continent, endless Sword Qi lingered all year round.
At the same time, even from such a long distance, everyone could still see that the Sword Tomb was filled with swords stuck everywhere.
Of course, most of the swords had already decayed.
Unless it was an Emperor Weapon, even a supreme artifact or a Quasi-Emperor Weapon could decay completely over a long period of time.
Seeing the true appearance of the Sword Tomb, all the Prodigies present showed silent shock.
Jun Xiaoyao also marveled.
He could feel that the Great Luo Sword Embryo in his spatial Magical Artifact seemed to be humming with Sword Qi.
It seemed somewhat impatient.
"Don't worry, you'll be full soon," Jun Xiaoyao murmured softly.
He was also looking forward to how powerful the Great Luo Sword Embryo would be after its transformation.
On the other hand, Ye Guchen's expression was somewhat dazed.
Seeing this Sword Tomb, he felt a strange sense of familiarity.
Before his eyes, many blurry and chaotic scenes seemed to emerge.
Vaguely, it seemed as if several extremely blurry figures, as if from the end of a myth, overlooked the Vast Expanse and extinguished the ages.
One figure confronted him.
As if contending with the heavens!
That was an existence that shook the universe and dominated the world!
Holding a three-foot green blade, he settled all injustices!
"The Chief Priest should not exist in this world!"
Ye Guchen's expression was somewhat dazed.
"What… what are these?"
"I have clearly cut off the past."
Ye Guchen closed his eyes, then reopened them, and his mind returned to clarity.
He was very confused.
He had clearly cut off the past and reshaped his true self, so why was this still happening?
Moreover, that figure was not his previous life's Sword Demon.
And what kind of existence was the Chief Priest?
Why did he have a subconscious feeling that he had to come to the Sword Tomb?
Even his accidental arrival in the Nine Heavens—was it truly an accident?
Or was it some inexplicable Karma that compelled him to come to the Nine Heavens?
Ye Guchen was truly a bit confused.
"Little Yezi, what's wrong?"
Situ Xue, who was beside him, asked when she saw Ye Guchen's expression.
"Nothing, nothing," Ye Guchen said.
Anyway, he was about to enter the Sword Tomb, and by then, his confusion should be resolved.
Sword Seven had been observing Ye Guchen.
Seeing his unusual expression, a profound meaning also flashed in Sword Seven's eyes.
Then, he said, "Alright, the rules have been given to you, you can enter directly now."
Hearing Sword Seven's words, the Prodigies present instantly shot out.
"Hmph, Jun Xiaoyao, if you can reach Heavenly Sword Peak, then let's fight again."
Sword Emperor Son snorted coldly.
The Opportunity in the Sword Tomb was very attractive to him.
He didn't want to fight Jun Xiaoyao to the death from the start, as that would easily cause him to miss the Opportunity.
Mixed King and Xuan Li and others clearly thought the same way, not wanting to waste time at the beginning.
So they didn't directly attack Jun Xiaoyao, but instead dispersed, looking for Opportunities first.
"Everyone, Qingyi will go ahead."
Ji Qingyi gestured and then left alone.
"What about you?"
Jun Xiaoyao looked at Yan Rumeng.
"I want to explore on my own," Yan Rumeng said.
Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly.
After he helped Yan Rumeng improve her strength, Yan Rumeng was much stronger than before.
Even against figures like Sword Emperor Son and Mixed King, while she might not be able to contend with them, at least escaping would not be a problem if she focused on it.
"Jun Xiaoyao, see you at Heavenly Sword Peak," Ye Guchen said.
He believed that Jun Xiaoyao had the strength to reach Heavenly Sword Peak.
Jun Xiaoyao nodded.
Situ Xue also went with Ye Guchen.
Jun Xiaoyao, on the other hand, entered the Sword Tomb alone.
Sword Seven, meanwhile, concealed himself in the Void Realm, observing the situation in secret.
The Sword Tomb trial officially began.
Dense crowds of Prodigies streamed into it.
Jun Xiaoyao, alone, moved with Kun Peng Extreme Speed, his figure as swift as teleportation.
Heavenly Sword Peak was deep within the Sword Tomb.
Although this was just a continent, its scope was incredibly vast.
It was comparable to one-third of the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain.
Therefore, reaching Heavenly Sword Peak was truly not a simple matter.
Jun Xiaoyao advanced while surveying his surroundings.
Suddenly, Sword Qi inverted from the ground, charging towards Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao stomped his foot, crushing it.
This was a remnant array.
"This Opportunity isn't so easy to obtain," Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly.
At this moment, he sensed some Prodigies gathering ahead.
Looking closely, it appeared to be an ancient ruin, with an ancient stone wall standing there.
There were also some chaotic sword marks on it.
"An Opportunity location?"
Jun Xiaoyao was slightly interested.
