Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor

"No problem, I'll go over in a few days!"

The Emperor of Creation's face was cold as he spoke lightly.

Swish!

The white-haired elder sighed gently, the space rippling like water, quickly twisting, and the white-haired elder had already disappeared from where he stood.

...

As dawn slowly broke on the horizon, after a night of frantic rushing, Chu Ming and the three others had escaped from the Fire Domain to the Thunder Marsh Domain.

Along the way, the number of demons gradually decreased. Chu Ming estimated that it was because a Great Power of Transcendence had come, killing many demons.

"Ahead is the Thunder Marsh Domain. Beyond the Thunder Marsh Domain is the Sword Domain. This tea ceremony will be held in the Black Profound Mountain Range of the Sword Domain!"

The invitations they received clearly indicated the location of the event.

"Have you heard what level the fighting power of the current Four Heavenly Prodigies has reached?"

On the way, Chu Ming asked. Passing through the Fire Domain and entering the Thunder Marsh Domain, demons had already vanished, evidently not affecting the Thunder Marsh Domain.

"There are many rumors about the Four Heavenly Prodigies in the Eastern Hundred Domains. Half a month ago, I heard someone say they saw the 'Princess of Fire' Huo Qingwu kill a Guiyuan Realm Eighth Layer expert within a hundred moves. The other three should be at this level too."

Xu Ming squinted his eyes and slowly explained, Chu Ming's strength had fully earned his recognition.

The Four Heavenly Prodigies belong to the first tier in the Eastern Hundred Domains, while Xu Ming counts among the stronger ones in the second tier.

Hearing this, Chu Ming remained indifferent and silent. The Four Heavenly Prodigies now possessed the power to kill Guiyuan Realm Eighth Layer experts.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Four streaks of light pierced the sky. The speed of Chu Ming and the four others was extremely fast. After resting for a day in Thunder City in the Thunder Marsh Domain, they continued their journey. On the way, Chu Ming did not neglect the eleventh layer of the Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique.

On the third night, the four arrived at the Sword Domain. As soon as he stepped into the territory of the Sword Domain, Chu Ming felt an unusual aura rush towards him—it was the aura of the sword.

"No wonder seventy percent of the martial artists in the Sword Domain are swordsmen. A swordsman cultivating here will certainly advance rapidly."

Chu Ming murmured in his heart.

"This place is not far from the Black Profound Mountain Range; within another half night, we should be able to reach the Black Profound Mountain Range!"

Xu Ming reminded.

The Black Profound Mountain Range is a peculiar mountain range in the Sword Domain, with few demon beasts, but gravity inside the range is several times stronger than outside, increasing the deeper one goes.

The tea ceremony is held at the edge of the Black Profound Mountain Range. Half a year ago, the Hundred Sword Prince already built a sizable city here, with a substantial flow of people to accommodate the prodigies attending and the martial artists coming to watch.

"Let's enter the city!"

In the middle of the night, Chu Ming and the three others arrived outside the city.

They entered the city. With the tea ceremony approaching, the place was bustling, mixed with martial artists coming to watch the prodigies.

The four casually chose an inn to stay in. In the inn, Chu Ming entered his room, shut the door tightly, and sat cross-legged on the bed, quickly contemplating the eleventh layer of the Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique.

The demon invasion of the Fire Domain these past few days gave him a sense of urgency. He was extremely uncomfortable with the feeling of having his fate controlled by others.

Moreover, he always felt that something significant was about to happen in the continent, and perhaps the incident in the Fire Domain was just the beginning.

The quickest way to improve strength is to elevate cultivation, but Chu Ming was already at the peak of the True Dao Realm. To advance further and reach the Guiyuan Realm, unless he pushed the Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique to the eleventh layer.

In the past few days, he had gained some insights into the eleventh layer of the Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique.

Flashes of lightning flickered in Chu Ming's mind like a movie, and a dense milky white light emanated from his body, which was Sword Essence Power.

Three days passed, and Feng Yuyan and the other two wanted to call Chu Ming to go out, but were refused by Chu Ming.

"Brother Chu is indeed a cultivation fanatic!"

Xu Lie smiled bitterly. Their talents were good, but having them confined for so long still made them somewhat weary.

"Otherwise, he wouldn't be so strong."

Feng Yuyan said lightly, then turned and returned to her room, leaving Xu Ming and Xu Lie awkwardly standing.

"Senior brother, what should we do now?"

Xu Lie asked Xu Ming.

"What can we do? Since they aren't coming, let's go out ourselves and gather some news."

Xu Ming said calmly. After speaking, the two turned and left the inn, heading towards the streets of the small city.

Another five days passed, and the milky white Sword Essence Power on Chu Ming's body grew increasingly dense. A terrifying Sword Momentum, like a hibernating beast, was gradually awakening.

Sharp sword scars splattered out from Chu Ming's body, while Spiritual Power surged through his meridians, transforming into particles and merging into his body.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

A sense of heart palpitations surged within Chu Ming's body, and the Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique automatically operated, breaking through to the tenth layer!

The eleventh layer!

The Spiritual Power in his Dantian surged instantly, showing signs of transforming into a liquid state.

Crack!

A tearing sound came from within Chu Ming's body, and the barrier of the Guiyuan Realm suddenly formed a crack that gradually expanded, spreading throughout the barrier until it finally shattered.

Buzz!

A small spiritual vortex formed in Chu Ming's Dantian. Although the vortex was small, its tearing force was enormous, swallowing all Spiritual Power within a hundred meters around the inn, creating a vacuum.

"It's still not enough!"

Chu Ming frowned. The Spiritual Power needed for breaking through to the Guiyuan Realm was substantial, and the city's Spiritual Power density couldn't meet his needs.

Swish!

With a wave of his arm, tens of thousands of middle grade Spirit Stones appeared around him, completely surrounding him, and he frantically operated the spiritual vortex, absorbing the Spirit Power from the middle grade Spirit Stones into his body.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The spiritual vortex in his Dantian grew larger, requiring more and more Spiritual Power, which is unavoidable for a Guiyuan Realm martial artist to form a Sea of Spiritual Power in their Dantian.

As the spiritual vortex just took shape, it was scattered by Chu Ming. The process of breaking through to the Guiyuan Realm is also about compressing one's own Spiritual Power, although Chu Ming's Spiritual Power was already more concentrated than most Guiyuan Realm experts.

Yet that was not his limit. Breaking through to the Guiyuan Realm involves a leap in one's level of life; the more concentrated the Spiritual Power, the greater the benefits for future cultivation.

Round and round, repeated over two to three hundred times, the Spiritual Power in Chu Ming's body had been compressed to the limit, and in the process, he consumed tens of thousands of middle grade Spirit Stones.

"Should be about to break through!"

In the nearby room, Feng Yuyan looked at Chu Ming's room and frowned. The commotion caused by Chu Ming's breakthrough to the Guiyuan Realm naturally did not escape the eyes of others.
