"Clang! Clang!"
In the dark space, the sounds of swords clashing could be heard, interweaving into a resplendent light.
The guardian of the third level was an ancient sword immortal. His sword kinesis arts were superb.
Ye Xingchen cultivated in a variety of arts. He had fist arts, palm arts, seal arts, Sword Dao, etc.
His strongest offensive technique was the Sword Dao.
However, his sword kinesis arts were far inferior to that of the ancient sword immortal. However, this was not a difference in strength, but in his understanding of sword kinesis arts. He was inferior to the other party in aspects such as perception.
The other party's flying sword was sometimes like a flying bird, sometimes like a swimming fish, and sometimes like a dragon or phoenix. It was unpredictable, like a flying sword that gathered the characteristics of all things in the world.
Ye Xingchen could have used his own strength to crush the other party, but in order to improve his Sword Dao, he only used his flying sword to fight the other party.
"Chi! Chi!
Chi! "At the end of the battle, the ancient sword immortal took out a round ball. It was a Sword Pill. The Sword Pill spun in the air, shooting out Sword Qi that was as fine as a cow's hair.
The Sword Qi was very thin, but very sharp. When it stabbed into the air, it could slice open the void.
Ye Xingchen's sword intent controlled the White Emperor Sword. It flew up and down, mimicking the other party's sword kinesis arts to block the other party's Sword Qi.
"Pfft!"
During the exchange, Ye Xingchen's clothes were sliced open by the Sword Qi. He ignored it and continued learning the other party's sword kinesis arts.
The two fought for half an hour. Ye Xingchen was more or less done learning. He used the Essence Soul Sword Embryo and a resplendent Essence Soul Sword Qi flew out from his glabella. It shattered the other party's Sword Pill and killed the ancient sword immortal's projection.
The fourth level was a Golden-Winged Roc.
"Bang!"
When the Golden-Winged Roc saw Ye Xingchen, it flapped its wings. Golden light shone resplendently as thousands of feathers shot out. They were like immortal swords that cleaved down.
The Golden-Winged Roc's body was extremely huge. Its wings spanned 300 meters and were 500 meters long. It spiraled in the sky like a huge golden cloud.
Its tens of thousands of Sword Qis rained down, revealing Ye Xingchen.
At the same time, its speed was like a rainbow, fast to the extreme, possessing divine speed. It swooped down, its two huge claws glinting with cold light, as if they were forged from molten iron, clawing at the top of Ye Xingchen's head.
Ye Xingchen first activated the White Emperor Sword and the Green Emperor Sword, turning them into two beams of sword light to block the Sword Qi. Then, he mobilized all the strength in his body and rushed up, colliding with the Golden-Winged Roc's claws. A metallic sound rang out, and the scene was filled with light.
This Golden-Winged Roc was extremely powerful. Although its bloodline was not comparable to that of a true pure-blooded Roc, it had Roc blood flowing in its body. Its speed was extremely fast. Ye Xingchen was very strong, but the two of them exchanged over a hundred blows before he finally found an opportunity to smash the Golden-Winged Roc's head with one punch. Then, he used the White Emperor Sword and the Green Emperor Sword to stab the Roc's heart, killing it.
The guardian of the fifth level surprised Ye Xingchen. It was actually the handsome guardian of the Taixu Grotto-Heaven.
The handsome youth had his hands behind his back, and his temperament was outstanding. He looked up at the sky as if he was in deep thought.
When he saw Ye Xingchen, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "It's you, the little guy who wanted to learn the Primordial Soul Sword Embryo in the Taixu Grotto-Heaven."
"You can actually speak?" Ye Xingchen was a little shocked.
The handsome youth was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he explained, "Although I am just a battle imprint, I still have my own consciousness. You are very interesting, little guy. You once wanted to learn my Primordial Soul Sword Embryo. I have a deep impression of you."
Ye Xingchen did not feel embarrassed. He bowed and said, "Senior, please enlighten me!"
"Very well. If you can withstand a complete attack from my Primordial Soul Sword Embryo, I will teach you this martial art technique," the handsome youth said.
Clang!
As soon as the handsome youth finished speaking, his brow glowed. With the sound of a sword, a resplendent and dazzling light flew out from his brow.
This light was in the shape of a sword. It was completely formed by countless spiritual imprints. It was bright and beautiful, like a burning galaxy. It was so blinding that one could not open their eyes.
This was the true Primordial Soul Sword Embryo.
As soon as this sword embryo appeared, the world seemed to have entered a world of swords.
Ye Xingchen saw that the void was filled with Sword Qi, Sword Light, and Sword Aura.
These Sword Qi, Sword Light, and Sword Aura formed a mighty river that pierced through the void world. It connected the past, the present, and the future.
The long river of swords was turbulent. Every drop of water was a world of swords.
"I can't block it. I can't avoid it. I can't hide." There was no fear in Ye Xingchen's eyes. "I can only face it head-on."
Clang!
Ye Xingchen pulled out the White Emperor Sword and stabbed forward. There were no fancy techniques or True Power injected. There was only the purest and most refined sword intent.
The White Emperor Sword collided with the long river of swords. The expected tearing pain did not appear.
He looked over. The long river of swords had disappeared. The space was very quiet.
"You have passed."
The handsome youth smiled. "I have already imprinted the cultivation method of the Primordial Soul Sword Embryo on the sword in your hand. You can check it yourself after you leave."
"Thank you, senior!" Ye Xingchen cupped his hands and thanked him.
After he left the fifth level, an ancient sword immortal dressed in a Daoist robe with a Daoist sword on his back appeared. He said, "This little guy is really interesting. He actually learned my sword kinesis technique in the third level."
"Yeah, I haven't met such an interesting person in a long time." The handsome youth smiled faintly and then disappeared from the fifth level.
In the sixth level, there was a Pixiu.
This Pixiu was very powerful. It could control lightning and transform into anything. Ye Xingchen fought it for hundreds of rounds before he killed it and passed the sixth level.
In the seventh level, there was a Vermilion Bird.
The Vermilion Bird used Vermilion Bird flames as soon as it appeared. Scarlet fire runes were densely packed, covering the sky and the earth. They turned into Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire and spread towards Ye Xingchen.
Ye Xingchen activated the Yin Yang Cauldron and used the Yin Yang Fire to resist.
Then, he activated the White Emperor Sword and displayed the sword kinesis technique he learned from the ancient sword immortal in the third level. He slashed at the Vermilion Bird.
The Vermilion Bird was very powerful. If an ordinary seventh-nirvana warrior encountered it, the Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire would turn them into ashes.
Yin Yang runes appeared in the Yin Yang Cauldron, raising the power of the Yin Yang Fire to the limit. Then, it swallowed and refined the Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire to strengthen itself.
Ye Xingchen put away the Yin Yang Cauldron. His flying sword was like a true dragon as it pierced through the Vermilion Bird's body and killed it.
In the eighth level, there was a Heavenly Dragon.
The Heavenly Dragon roared as soon as it appeared, almost shattering Ye Xingchen's organs and soul.
Ye Xingchen spent a lot of effort and fought hard. Finally, he found an opportunity to use the Constellation Spirit Technique to form the Four Symbols of the Universe and refine it.
This battle had consumed too much of his Essence Qi. Ye Xingchen consumed a treasure pill before he could step into the ninth level.
In the outside world, when Ye Xingchen stepped into the ninth level, Daoist Qingyuan raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise on his face.
"To think that someone could step into the ninth level in this era. Interesting. I hope he won't be beaten up by that ancient king to the point of questioning his own life."
Daoist Qingyuan knew how terrifying the strength of that quick-witted girl was. Even in the Ancient Era, where geniuses came forth in large numbers, she was still dazzling. No one could overshadow her.
The guardian of the ninth level was a girl.
The girl was young and beautiful, lively and quick-witted.
Her hair was braided down to her waist.
Her eyes were filled with intelligence. When she saw Ye Xingchen, she said, "Hehe, finally someone to play with me."
"My name is Susu. What's your name?" the girl asked curiously.
