Before Situ Hong, there were four other names.
"It won't be long before I surpass you," said Situ Hong softly.
At this moment, a hearty laugh rang out.
"Situ Hong, I didn't expect you to come so early."
As soon as he finished speaking, a black-robed man arrived at the Burial Sword Peak.
Dugu Yun had arrived.
Dugu Yun and Situ Hong were both rising stars. Their potential was publicly recognized as monstrous.
Dugu Yun was different from Situ Hong. He came from a large Sect and had received the full support of the Sect.
Last time, Dugu Yun had created seventy-five sword scars on the Burial Sword Heavenly Wall, ranking seventh. But this time, he had made a comeback. He was determined to break his own record.
"Dugu Yun."
Experts were lonely. To be able to step on the path to the peak, having a few opponents was something to be gratified about.
Although Situ Hong and Dugu Yun were competitors, the two of them were very close to each other.
"Situ Hong, you've improved quite a bit during this time," said Dugu Yun with a grin.
"You're not bad either," said Situ Hong.
As expected, Dugu Yun didn't waste any words. He directly stepped forward and began to display his sword arts.
His exquisite sword arts made Fang Chen sigh with emotion.
In the end, when Dugu Yun put away his sword, eighty-four sword scars had appeared on the Burial Sword Heavenly Wall.
Eighty-four sword scars ranked fourth. This was Dugu Yun's result.
The entire Burial Sword Peak was in an uproar once more.
Situ Hong was very calm about this. It seemed he had already expected this result.
"Only eighty-four sword scars."
Dugu Yun looked at the sword scars on the Burial Sword Heavenly Wall and said helplessly.
The entire Burial Sword City was overshadowed by Dugu Yun and Situ Hong's radiance. All the other martial artists were overshadowed.
Not long after, Dugu Yun and Situ Hong left together.
In their eyes, the other martial artists weren't worthy of their attention.
After the two of them left, there were still a few martial artists who tried to break through the Burial Sword Heavenly Wall. But their results weren't very good.
"Brother Fang, go try it," whispered the scholar as he glanced at Fang Chen.
"Aren't you going?" Fang Chen asked.
The scholar chuckled and arrived in front of the Sword Burial Sky Wall ahead of Fang Chen.
Seeing an unfamiliar face, the surrounding cultivators all revealed looks of disdain.
"Another new warrior."
Someone in the crowd said.
It was abnormally difficult for new martial artists to leave behind sword scars on the Sword Burial Heavenly Wall.
However, the scholar ignored the crowd and brandished the long sword in his hand.
Suddenly, a vast amount of Sword Qi surged out.
Swoosh
An exquisite and peerless sword technique was displayed. The longsword in his hand directly bombarded the Sword Burial Sky Wall.
Suddenly, everyone heard the sound of metal clashing.
After the sword qi dissipated, some sword marks shockingly appeared on the Sword Burial Heavenly Wall.
"What? A newcomer managed to leave behind a sword mark on the Burial Sword Heavenly Wall?"
"Quick, count how many sword scars there are."
Many martial artists scanned the Sword Burial Sky Wall with their souls and instantly discovered the sword mark left behind by the scholar.
Soon after, their eyes were filled with shock.
"Heavens, a newcomer who came to the Sword Burial Sky Wall for the first time actually managed to leave behind fifty sword scars. Is he the next Lu Jingyun?" cried out a martial artist.
Fifty sword scars was considered a high level in the Sword Burial Prefecture.
On the ranking list, the scholar was ranked sixtieth.
There were countless sword cultivators in the Sword Burial Prefecture. To be able to enter the top one hundred was enough to see the scholar's talent in the Sword Dao.
Those martial artists who had originally ridiculed the scholar all changed their attitudes.
This was the first time he had left behind fifty sword scars on the Sword Burial Sky Wall. His potential was shocking.
Perhaps it wouldn't be long before he could compare to Situ Hong and Dugu Yun.
At this time, many martial artists came to befriend the scholar.
As for the scholar, he ignored them and walked in front of Fang Chen. He grinned. "Brother Fang, it's your turn."
Fang Chen smiled and walked in front of the Sword Burial Sky Wall.
Seeing that it was yet another newcomer, everyone was flabbergasted.
Just what was going on today? Situ Hong and Dugu Yun had come before, but now even a newcomer was so stunning.
"There seems to be a vast amount of sword qi within the Sword Burial Sky Wall," muttered Fang Chen.
The closer he got to the Sword Burial Sky Wall, the faster Fang Chen discovered that the golden heart was beating.
Furthermore, the golden heart was absorbing the sword qi within the Sword Burial Sky Wall.
"This …"
Fang Chen was a bit puzzled, but he still took out the Hidden Star Sword.
BOOM!
Sword intent erupted. Fang Chen used the Five Elements Sword Art.
A five-colored sword blade instantly appeared and smashed into the Sword Burial Sky Wall.
Dong!
When the five-colored sword blade smashed into the Sword Burial Sky Wall, the entire Sword Burial Peak trembled. The Sword Burial Sky Wall was filled with sword qi.
Countless sword scars appeared on the Sword Burial Sky Wall.
At the same time, a strange aura was emitted from the golden heart. It drilled into the five-colored sword blade, causing the power of the five-colored sword blade to become incomparably powerful.
At this moment, Fang Chen seemed to have entered an ethereal state. His mind was filled with the aura of Sword Dao.
As for himself, it was as if he was in a vast sea of Sword Dao.
"The Sword Dao is broad and profound."
In an instant, Fang Chen's comprehension of Sword Dao became deeper and deeper.
It was also at this moment that the Sword Burial Sky Wall emitted a thumping sound, shaking the entire Sword Burial Province.
Inside the Sword Burial Immortal Palace.
The tall and short old man was reporting to the Palace Master about Fang Chen.
"Palace Master, Fang Chen is really surprising. He actually became the City Lord of the Five Elements Sword City in such a short time," said the short old man with a smile.
"This child's potential is the best I have ever seen. I have already sent him to the Sword Burial Sky Wall. Perhaps he can surpass Lu Jingyun in one fell swoop," said the tall old man.
The Palace Master nodded slightly. His gaze pierced through the clouds as if he could see the scene of the Sword Burial Sky Wall.
"He is currently attacking the Sword Burial Sky Wall," said the Palace Master.
However, as soon as the palace master finished speaking, the entire Sword Burial Prefecture began to tremble.
That was especially true of the Sword Burial Peak. Countless cultivators were shocked. Just what had happened? Why had the Sword Burial Peak suddenly begun to tremble?
"Palace Master, what is it?" asked the tall old man hastily.
The Palace Master jumped to his feet. His face was filled with an excited smile.
"Ninety-nine sword scars," muttered the Palace Master to himself. In the next moment, he vanished.
The two old men carefully digested the Palace Master's words. Their expressions immediately changed.
"The Palace Master said ninety-nine sword scars. Could it be that he's talking about Fang Chen?"
"To be able to shake the entire Sword Burial Province, could it be that Fang Chen really managed to create ninety-nine sword scars?"
As they spoke, the two old men also vanished.
At this moment, on the Burial Sword Peak, Fang Chen put away the Hidden Star Sword. His body was surrounded by wild sword Qi.
After their shock, many cultivators looked at the Sword Burial Sky Wall.
What they saw became the deepest memory in their hearts.
Ninety-nine sword scars.
Wasn't this something that only existed in legends? It had actually appeared!
The Sword Burial Sky Wall had existed since ancient times.
The more sword scars one left on the Sword Burial Sky Wall, the more tyrannical one's talent in the Sword Dao would be.
It was rumored that anyone who could leave behind ninety-nine sword scars would be able to enter the legendary Sword Burial Immortal Palace in the future.
The last person who had managed to create ninety-nine sword scars was the current Palace Master of the Immortal Palace. Now, ninety-nine sword scars had appeared once more.
Finally, after a moment of deathly silence, a cultivator cried out.
"Ninety-nine sword scars? Am I seeing things?"
"Heavens, who is he? How can he create ninety-nine sword scars?"
"His potential is comparable to the Palace Master of the Immortal Palace. He's too monstrous. Even Lu Jingyun isn't worth mentioning in front of him."
The Palace Master of the Immortal Palace stood calmly above the clouds, flanked by two old men.
"Palace Master, this child's potential is so heaven-defying. Can he compare to you back then?" asked the short old man.
"Back then, Palace Master, you also created ninety-nine sword scars, shocking the entire Sword Burial Province.
I didn't expect that after so many years, there would be someone from the younger generation who could reach such a level. It's too incredible. "The tall man sighed.
The Palace Master of the Immortal Palace looked calm, but his eyes were filled with unconcealable shock.
