Start with the fisherman

hum!
At this moment, Ye Shijie completely became one with the sword in his hand. There was nothing else in his eyes and heart except the sword in his hand.

Ye Shijie started learning swordplay at the age of five, and comprehended sword skills at the age of ten. He joined the Xinghui Peak of Xuanbao Pavilion and learned the Seven-Star Sword. The Seven-Star Sword was created by a senior from the Xinghui Peak after he gained some insights from observing the Big Dipper. Unfortunately, that senior was unable to enter the Dharmakaya throughout his life and failed to perfect the Seven-Star Sword.

Therefore, the Seven Star Sword is not the strongest sword technique in Xinghui Peak. Everyone suggested that Ye Shijie learn a stronger sword technique, but Ye Shijie believed that the Seven Star Sword was most suitable for him and he liked the Seven Star Sword!
His sword skills were perfected at the age of thirteen, he understood the sword intent at the age of fifteen, and he had learned the seventh sword of the Seven Star Sword at the age of twenty, and his sword intent was perfected. From then on, no one in the younger generation of the entire Xuanbao Pavilion could make him use the seventh sword.

This sword technique, which is generally recognized as not the strongest, shines brightly in his hands, and it overwhelms the younger generation of Xuanbao Pavilion, who change color at the mere mention of the Seven-Star Sword.

But the elders in the sect still believed that the Seven Star Sword was not strong enough, and that only Ye Shijie himself was strong.

So, he figured out the eighth sword!
At this point, even the senior brothers and sisters stopped talking.

But because of this, Ye Shijie suddenly lost his target.

Although he was still no match for his master, brothers and sisters, he knew that he would surpass them sooner or later.

He felt that perhaps in the Dragon Blood Realm, the Seven Star Sword only had the eighth sword, and he had reached his limit. Just like the senior back then, he needed a breakthrough in his cultivation before he could comprehend the ninth sword.

But now, he realized that he was wrong, absolutely wrong!
He was not discouraged by this, but was full of fighting spirit again.

The long sword crossed the sky like starlight. Ye Shijie had no distractions and even put life and death aside. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind - to use these two whetstones to hone his sword skills!

Only me, only sword!
"This is the eighth sword of the Seven Star Sword!"

As an opponent for many years and also a fellow disciple, Qin Yaoguang was naturally very familiar with Ye Shijie's swordsmanship.

Qin Yaoguang was shocked. If she faced Ye Shijie's sword, she would probably have no choice but to wait for death.

In the past, she had always been unwilling to accept the fact that she ranked behind Ye Shijie. At this moment, she finally admitted that Ye Shijie was better than her.

While she was still shocked by the aftermath of the fight between Cao Ze and the other man, Ye Shijie had already handed his strongest sword to Ling Su!
While she was still following the path of her predecessors, Ye Shijie had already walked out his own path!
She could feel that Ye Shijie, who stabbed with the sword, had become a little different. It seemed that the sword was not aimed at Ling Su, but at a barrier that trapped Ye Shijie.

As soon as the sword was drawn, all things came to life, and the barrier also broke a crack!
As they were both at the peak of the Dragon Blood Realm, how could Qin Yaoguang not know that Ye Shijie had already opened the door to becoming a Grandmaster!
As long as one goes through a period of consolidation and refinement, becoming a grandmaster will be a natural thing.

If it were her, facing Ling Su, who was once a top grandmaster, could she stab him with this spear?

Qin Yaoguang asked himself.

But she did not hesitate, and soon her eyes became determined. She shot out like a dragon and rushed towards Ling Su.

The moment she drew her gun, she threw all her emotions and thoughts behind her and simply delivered her most powerful shot to Ling Su!
Although she fell behind Ye Shijie and did not break through the Grandmaster's bottleneck with one sword like Ye Shijie did, she still stabbed out with the spear after all.

Not only Qin Yaoguang, but also the few people left in the cave fell into deep thought and shock when they saw Ye Shijie's sword.

Liu Yinjie, Lingyunshi, Zhao Rui...

Liu Yinjie clenched his fist, and mist filled the air around him. But he soon loosened his fist, and the mist dissipated. Not long after, he clenched his fist again...

This went on repeatedly until he became possessed and his eyes lost focus.

Ling Yunshi and Zhao Rui were in an even worse situation. They didn't even have the courage to pick up their weapons.

It’s a long story, but in a flash, Ye Shijie’s sword was already in front of Ling Su.

Bang!
Ling Su waved his sleeves like slapping a fly, and the terrifying tide of energy hit his sword, breaking the sword and sending the man flying in an instant.

Ye Shijie was like a scarecrow knocked away by a galloping horse, blood spurting out like wildfire, instantly dyeing the sky red. Finally, he fell softly to the ground like a puddle of mud, without a sound.

It's like pouring a basin of cold water on you.

Liu Yinjie and the other two, who were fighting their inner demons and hesitating whether to take action, suddenly came to their senses.

If they had taken action just now, the outcome would probably be even worse than Ye Shijie's, and they might have died on the spot.

Suddenly, they reacted and looked at the figure that was moving calmly in the tide of Yuanli.

Ye Shijie broke through himself and used a sword that was beyond his normal level, but it was easily broken by Ling Su. Then, Cao Ze was able to compete with Ling Su head-on and even had some strength left.

What is the strength?
At this time, Qin Yaoguang's gun had already reached Ling Su.

A flash of cold light, and the gun shoots out like a dragon!

Liu Yinjie suddenly came to his senses. After seeing Ye Shijie's miserable condition, he probably no longer had the courage to throw his own punch.

What happened today will even become a nightmare on their martial arts path and will haunt them for the rest of their lives.

On the other hand, if Ye Shijie and Qin Yaoguang can get through this hurdle, their future journey in martial arts will be smooth.

Can they get through this?

Liu Yinjie did not feel too regretful, because he knew that if he had also thrown that punch, he would probably be dead by now, let alone the path of martial arts.

Zhao Rui closed her eyes with a complicated expression.

She had always regarded Qin Yaoguang as her target, but now she knew that she was no longer worthy.

Lingyunshi walked towards the exit in a daze, his eyes dull. He did not look like a genius of Xuanbao Pavilion, but more like a young man who had fallen into poverty and became a beggar.

Ling Su waved his sleeves at Qin Yaoguang again with a grim expression, and suddenly a powerful tide of energy surged in, breaking the spear in Qin Yaoguang's hand almost instantly.

But before the Yuanli tide hit Qin Yaoguang, a ray of sword light had already floated over.

In an instant, a blank space about ten feet wide appeared in the tide of Yuanli. Cao Ze's figure quietly passed Qin Yaoguang, came in front of her, and blocked her way.

Qin Yaoguang also woke up from his understanding of the spear technique at this time. Looking at the solid back, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed for a moment.

Ling Su's face had turned pale. He had gone to great lengths to enter the secret realm of the cave, thinking that he was already invincible, but he had not expected a monster like Cao Ze to appear.

That would be fine. After all, he was once a top grandmaster with profound background. If the fight continues, it is still unknown who will win or lose.

But what he never expected was that the other Xuanbao Pavilion disciples in the cave would choose to help this little guy who had only been a disciple for half a year and attack him, an old man of Xuanbao Pavilion.

The attacks of Ye Shijie and Qin Yaoguang were naturally not strong enough for him, and he could defeat them with a wave of his hand. However, in this short gap, Cao Ze had already come in front of him. Looking at this ferocious giant ape, Ling Su did not want to engage in close combat with such a monster.

Crack!

However, at this moment, a thunder exploded, and a purple lightning as thick as an arm struck down.

The force is so loose, this is naturally not an attack launched by Cao Ze.

Ling Su turned his head and looked at the woman in the purple Taoist robe in the cave. At this moment, she was raising her palm and pointing it at Ling Su.

Zixiao Peak’s unique skill, palm thunder!
This lightning didn't even touch Lingsu, and was easily crushed by the surging tide of energy around Lingsu. But it was like a mosquito on a summer night, which might not cause you any major harm, but kept buzzing in your ears, annoying you.

Just like ignited gunpowder, Ling Su instantly felt extremely angry, and the energy tide around him was boiling like boiling water.

However, before they rushed towards Zhao Rui, a line of knife light condensed into a line and poured down like a basin of cold water.

A blank channel appeared in the energy tide surrounding Ling Su, connecting Cao Ze and Ling Su. At this time, Cao Ze was rushing towards Ling Su like lightning, and the Falling Star Blade surrounded by electric arcs was trembling slightly, as if it was craving for blood.

The overall situation is decided!

Ling Su, who was just furious, quickly regained his composure before his anger really ignited.

Cao Ze's strength was beyond his expectations. It was no longer realistic to kill Cao Ze and take back the Chaos Spirit Source Pearl from him.

Ling Su's heart was filled with regret. If he hadn't been so worried and didn't want to reveal his identity, he would have taken the Chaos Spirit Source Pearl from the very beginning. It would not have been so easy for Cao Ze to take it back from him.

But who would have thought...

There is no point in fighting any further now.

Ling Su raised his hands and clasped them together tightly.

Suddenly, the tide of Yuanli surged again, creating huge waves, squeezing hard from both sides of the blank channel towards the middle.

Cao Ze, who was running wildly, had to stop and swing his sword again.

However, after Cao Ze cut through the tide of Yuanli, he discovered that the place where Ling Su had originally been was empty.

Not only that, the energy tide in the cave also began to slowly calm down, and the originally shaky underground world gradually returned to peace.

Ling Su actually escaped!

Cao Ze carefully scanned the cave several times with his spiritual sense. Only after the energy tide in the cave completely subsided did Cao Ze finally confirm this fact.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This battle seemed easy for him, but how could a former top grandmaster be so easy to deal with? He was walking on thin ice just now, and the slightest negligence would lead to him falling into an irretrievable situation.

Unfortunately, the secret realm of the cave has been open for more than ten days and is about to be closed.

By then everyone will be teleported out of the Cave Heaven Secret Realm. If Ling Su continues to fight with Cao Ze and is teleported out without any preparation, he will not be able to escape.

After calming down the blood and energy in his body, Cao Ze still did not let down his guard and was ready to fight again at any time. He didn't know when Ling Su would come back to kill him.

She exchanged a glance with Seventh Senior Sister, then walked towards Ye Shijie.

At this time, Ye Shijie's body was stained with blood, and he was lying on the ground like a cooked noodle.

But he was still alive, he was not dead.

After thinking for a while, Cao Ze took out a porcelain bottle, poured out a emerald green pill, and stuffed it into Ye Shijie's mouth.

This is the rejuvenation pill given to him by Fifth Senior Sister, and it is a miraculous medicine for healing.

The Fifth Senior Sister said that there is no free lunch in the world, but in fact, she gave Cao Ze a lot of pills.
Moreover, the rejuvenation pill refined by Fifth Senior Sister is the best of the best. There is a circle of cloud patterns lingering on the pill, which is a sign of its top-grade quality.

Pills with cloud patterns are not only several times more effective than ordinary pills, but they will not accumulate poison in the user's body and can be used indefinitely without the effect of the medicine decreasing.

This shows how precious the alchemist inheritance obtained by Fifth Senior Sister is. No wonder it attracts the covetousness of masters in the Dharmakaya realm.

……

Outside the valley where the Dongtian Secret Realm was located, Xuan Zhiming and Lin Tingzhang, two Dharmakaya Realm warriors, had already stood up and were looking towards the direction of the valley with somewhat excited expressions.

The secret realm of the cave stopped vibrating several hours ago. Presumably, the thing has been taken away by someone.

The half-moon period is also approaching, and those who have entered the secret realm of the cave should be teleported out.

"Every time the secret realm of the cave was opened, someone would get a great opportunity, such as Mr. Five from Qingming Peak and Mr. Seven from Zixiao Peak last time..."

"I just don't know who will get the chance this time."

At this time, many disciples of Xuanbao Pavilion had gathered outside the valley.

Such a grand event would naturally attract many disciples to watch the fun, and what they saw and heard today might become a topic of conversation for them to talk about for many years to come.

"This time it must be our Senior Brother Ye Shijie!"

A disciple from Xinghui Peak proudly said that it was an honor to be able to study with such a genius.

When the other peak disciples heard this, they immediately became unhappy, "That may not be the case. Although Senior Brother Ye is very strong, opportunities are not something that can be obtained by just the strongest."

"Our Cuilan Peak's Senior Brother Liu Yinjie has made a breakthrough in strength recently. He may make a big splash in the Dongtian Secret Realm!"

"Humph, our Lingquan Peak's unique skill, the Force Tide, is most suitable for treasure hunting. If there is a great opportunity, Senior Brother Lingyunshi has the highest chance of obtaining it."

“It’s so funny. What’s the point of just knowing how to hunt for treasures if you can’t even defeat the guardian monsters of the treasures? Although Senior Brother Yang Xu is only ranked sixth on the Tianjiao Ranking, I know that he is a low-key person and his strength is definitely not limited to this. This time…”

"Pah, Senior Sister Zhao Rui's palm lightning can defeat all demons and monsters. Senior Sister Zhao is the strongest!"

The disciples of Xuanbao Pavilion argued endlessly, and no one could convince anyone else, but they also generally reached some consensus. Even if there were great opportunities in the Dongtian Secret Realm, they would only be born among the top five of the Tianjiao List.

Just at this time, human figures began to appear one after another around the valley where the secret realm of the cave was located.

The time has finally come for the secret realm of the cave to close!
However, seeing the group of people appearing around the valley, the disciples suddenly fell into a daze.

Ye Shijie, who ranked first on the Tianjiao list, was carried out like a puddle of mud. Qin Yaoguang, who ranked second on the Tianjiao list, was in tattered clothes, and even the spear in his hand was missing. Liu Yinjie, who ranked third, had a look of loss and was unhappy. Ling Yunshi, who ranked fourth, was even more lost, as if his energy and spirit had been drained away. Zhao Rui, who ranked fifth, also had unfocused eyes, as if she had suffered a major blow...

What made them even more confused was that Yang Xu, who was ranked sixth, Lin Zhantian, who was ranked seventh, and Xuan Zha, who was ranked ninth, did not show up!
They all know what this means.

Although there are dangers in the secret realm of the cave, there has never been such heavy casualties.

Why is there no smile on anyone’s face? Is there no great opportunity appearing in the secret realm of the cave this time?

What puzzled them even more was why Ye Shijie was being held by someone they had never heard of?

Who can tell them what happened in the secret realm of Dongtian? (End of this chapter)
