Sword Mountain was the foundation of the Sword Firmament Sect. It was also the core of the Sword Firmament Sect.
The disciples of the Nine Mountains could only be considered as official disciples of the Sword Firmament Sect.
As for the disciples of Sword Mountain, although there were very few of them, they were all elite geniuses.
In the future, they would all enter a powerful force and become a Commander-level figure.
Therefore, the Sword Firmament Sect really valued the disciples of Sword Mountain.
After Fang Chen joined Sword Mountain, he could enjoy countless cultivation resources.
Usually, the Sect Leader would even personally come to teach Fang Chen.
"Sect Leader."
Half a month after entering Sword Mountain, the Sect Leader once again came to Fang Chen's courtyard.
"Sanguinati, is there anything you don't understand about cultivation?" The Sect Leader asked.
Fang Chen had long been used to the Sect Leader's actions, so he spoke frankly with assurance.
"Sect Leader, the Heart Illusion Sword Skill has been cultivated to the Transformative Realm. Logically speaking, I should be able to condense 99 sword lights in an instant in the illusion realm. However, I can't do it. Why is that?"
Fang Chen asked in confusion.
For the past half a month, Fang Chen had been thinking about this question.
Fang Chen had already cultivated the Heart Illusion Sword Skill to the Transformative Realm.
However, he was still unable to condense 99 sword lights.
"Hahaha, I knew you would ask."
It seemed that the Sect Leader had already expected Sanguinati to ask this question. After hearing it, he laughed out loud.
"Sect Leader, please tell me." Fang Chen cupped his hands and asked.
The Sect Leader nodded and stopped laughing. He then looked at Fang Chen and said, "Actually, your Heart Illusion Sword Skill has not been cultivated to the extreme."
"What do you mean by not reaching the extreme?"
When Fang Chen heard it, he was shocked. He immediately asked in a hurry, "Could it be that there is a higher realm above the Transformative Realm?"
Fang Chen's heart was filled with shock.
However, what the Sect Leader said next made Fang Chen heave a sigh of relief.
Whether it was a cultivation technique or a secret skill, the Transformative Realm was the highest realm.
There was no realm above the Transformative Realm.
"Even though you've cultivated the Heart Illusion Sword Skill to the Transformation state, you're still lacking a certain type of tempering." Grandmaster Jian Xiao said casually.
"Sharpen!"
Fang Chen was puzzled. What did he lack?
"Take this token and go to the Illusory Sword Valley to sharpen yourself. You will know." After saying that, Sect Master Jian Xiao turned and left.
Fang Chen glanced at the token that the Sword Firmament Sect had tossed to him, and his face was filled with astonishment.
The next day, Fang Chen arrived at Illusory Sword Valley as promised.
The Illusory Sword Valley was a famous place in the Sword Firmament Sect.
The Illusory Sword Valley could not only sharpen the disciples, but also let them feel the feeling of a life and death battle.
There was another important use, and that was to temper Illusory Sword Dao martial artists.
In the Illusory Sword Valley, illusions were extremely powerful.
Usually, even if a Heavenly Dipper Realm 2nd layer martial artist enters it, it can't persist for too long.
Almost none of the twelve disciples of Sword Mountain were willing to enter the Illusory Sword Valley.
Thus, when Fang Chen arrived, it was completely empty. There was only a single Guardian Elder present.
Before the Guardian Elder could speak, Fang Chen took out the token.
"There are many dangers in the Illusory Sword Valley. If you can't hold on, come out quickly." The Guardian Elder warned.
Fang Chen nodded and entered the Illusory Sword Valley.
Whoosh!
As soon as he entered the Illusory Sword Valley, he found that the surrounding environment had undergone a tremendous change.
"What a powerful illusion."
Fang Chen couldn't help but sigh.
The Illusory Sword Valley's illusionary aura was extremely powerful.
Fortunately, he could still maintain his original state in the outer area of the Illusory Sword Valley.
"The Illusory Qi here is so dense, it's just right to sharpen my illusions." Fang Chen said to himself.
Then, Fang Chen walked forward step by step.
When Fang Chen walked twenty meters, he finally stopped.
At this moment, his soul was shaking in his mind, and he was in a state of madness. He could fall into an illusion at any time.
"I can't go any further."
Fang Chen said with difficulty.
It was also at this moment that sword light suddenly shot out from the surrounding gray air.
Bang! Bang!
Caught off guard, Fang Chen was hit by these sword lights.
Fortunately, the Perfect Sword Body was instantly activated and barely blocked these sword lights.
"Not only illusions, but also sword attacks."
Fang Chen said in a deep voice.
Then, he used the Heart Illusory Sword Technique.
Whoosh!
Streaks of sword-light shot out from the Hidden Star Sword and blasted towards the sword-light shooting from afar.
Just like that, Fang Chen began to cultivate crazily.
In the Illusory Sword Valley, Fang Chen crazily cultivated the Heart Illusory Sword Technique.
His Illusory Sword Dao was also improving with the passage of time.
Half a month later, Fang Chen had already advanced ninety meters.
This was already the depths of the Illusory Sword Valley, and the illusions here were even more powerful.
However, Fang Chen was able to stand there without changing his expression.
"As expected of the Illusory Sword Valley, the sharpening effect is very good."
There was a hint of joy in Fang Chen's eyes.
In the half a month of training in the Illusory Sword Valley, his achievements in illusions had become even more profound.
Most importantly, the Heart Illusory Sword Technique had reached the true pinnacle.
Huala!
With a thought from Fang Chen, the vast illusory aura above his head condensed into ninety-nine sword lights.
Ninety-nine sword lights was the pinnacle of the Heart Illusory Sword Technique.
"It's about time."
In the beginning, the Illusory Sword Valley had a great effect on Fang Chen, but now, half a month later, the effect was very weak.
Fang Chen calmly walked towards the exit of the Illusory Sword Valley.
At this time, outside the Illusory Sword Valley.
A man in purple walked towards the Illusory Sword Valley.
"Guardian Elder, I want to enter the Illusory Sword Valley." As the man in purple spoke, he took out a token.
"There are people in the Illusory Sword Valley. You can't go in now." The Guardian Elder said.
This was the rule of the Illusory Sword Valley. In order to prevent the disciples from being unable to resist the illusions and falling into a state of madness, only one person could enter at a time.
"Oh, who's inside?" The man in purple asked in surprise.
Almost none of the twelve disciples of Sword Mountain would come here.
"It's a new disciple of Sword Mountain. His name is Sanguinati." The Guardian Elder said.
"So it's him."
Hearing this, the man in purple nodded and instantly understood.
The Blood Sword Saint was from the Ninth Mountain, and he cultivated the Heart Illusion Sword Technique, the ultimate technique of the Ninth Mountain.
He also cultivated the Illusory Sword Dao, so it was normal for him to come here.
While waiting, the man in purple casually asked, "How long has he been in there?"
"It's been more than half a month," the Guardian Elder said.
Hearing this, the man in purple's calmness disappeared and was replaced by surprise.
"Half a month?" the man in purple asked again.
The Guardian Elder nodded heavily.
"Can he last half a month in the Illusory Sword Valley?" the man in purple muttered to himself.
However, just as he was speaking, a figure walked out of the Illusory Sword Valley.
"He's out."
The Guardian Elder said.
Fang Chen greeted the Guardian Elder and turned to leave.
As for the man in purple, he didn't know him and didn't greet him.
"Interesting."
The purple-clothed man smiled as he watched Fang Chen's departing figure.
After reaching the peak of the Heart Illusory Sword Technique, Fang Chen returned from the Illusory Sword Valley.
As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Sect Master Jian Xiao appeared.
"Sect Master."
"Sanguinati, how was your harvest?" Sect Master Jian Xiao asked.
Fang Chen nodded with a smile.
"Well, it's good to have a harvest." Sect Master Jian Xiao continued, "I came to find you because of something."
"What is it?" Fang Chen asked.
"Recently, the foreign tribes have been very active in the Sealed Sky City. There are even many sects that have been secretly controlled by the foreign tribes. After a discussion, the three sects have decided that each sect will send some top disciples to destroy these sects that have been controlled by the foreign tribes," Sect Leader Jian Xiao said.
In fact, the leaders of the three top Sects could easily destroy these Sects.
However, this decision was made because the three top Sects wanted to train their younger generation.
"Ancient Dao Sect and Fengtian Sect will also send disciples," Fang Chen asked.
Sect Master Jian Xiao nodded.
"When do we depart?"
In fact, Fang Chen had a question in his heart. Why twelve people when there were thirteen in Sword Mountain?
"Tomorrow."
The next day, the twelve disciples of Sword Mountain gathered together.
"Gu Fang will be the leader of this operation," Sect Master Jian Xiao said.
Then, the group left Sword Mountain and headed to the controlled Sect in the Sealed Sky City.
On the way, Wang Da came to Fang Chen's side.
"Brother Xue." Wang Da smiled.
"Brother Wang, we have thirteen people in Sword Mountain. Why are there only twelve of us this time?" Fang Chen asked in confusion.
"I heard that Senior Brother Xi Qing is breaking through to the Heaven Star Border Stage Four, so Sect Master sent us." Wang Da smiled.
Fang Chen was shocked when he heard this.
After meeting up with the other eleven, he realized that the missing disciple was the purple-robed man he met outside Illusory Sword Valley.
And now, according to Wang Da, the purple-robed man was the Senior Brother Xi Qing of Sword Mountain.
"He is Xi Qing."
Fang Chen muttered to himself.
"Brother Xue, our first target is the Demon Mark Sect, which is not far from our Sword Mountain."
Wang Da reminded, "The strongest person in the Demon Mark Sect is at the Heaven Star Border Stage Four, and there are about twenty low-level Heaven Star Border Realm martial artists. The rest are all Mystic King Realm martial artists.
"At that time, Senior Brother Gu Fang and the others will deal with the Heaven Star Border Stage Four martial artists. We only need to deal with the weaker martial artists."
"Demon Mark Sect."
Fengtian Sect.
"This is a chance. Sanguinati has left Sword Mountain. I will make sure he dies without a burial place."
Feng Feng was still thinking about the rank three divine weapon, the jet-black iron rod.
This time, the three sects would leave their respective Sect.
He had been paying attention to Sanguinati, so how could he let go of this opportunity?
"As long as I get the rank three divine weapon, I will be able to fight against a Heaven Star Border Stage Four martial artist."
"Senior Brother Feng, everything is ready."
At this moment, a Fengtian Sect martial artist ran over and whispered.
"Alright, let's go." Feng Feng's eyes were filled with greed as he said loudly.
The three Sect's movements naturally attracted the attention of the foreign races.
The Sect controlled by the foreign races was strengthening their defenses.
A war that spread throughout the Fengtian City was quietly beginning.
