Chapter 1221: Chapter 262: Ascending to the Summit in One Step!

A few minutes later.

A black-clad figure climbed to the summit.

This scene caught the attention of many disciples outside Emperor Sword Mountain, prompting an uproar of exclamations.

Many disciples were familiar with the black-clothed youth, his reputation having spread among them; he was known as a monster with a natural sword celestial physique.

However, he had just joined the sect, with a cultivation of merely the True Immortal Realm Fourth Level, yet he was able to reach the summit?!

“Oh my, did I see that right, is that Gu Yan?”

“That’s him, he, at the True Immortal Realm Fourth Level, defeated the Ancestor Dragon? How is that possible!”

“This is too outrageous; I, at the True Immortal Realm Eighth Layer, couldn’t even break through the Ancestor Dragon’s physique, so how did he do it?”

Some Heavenly Institute disciples were also shocked, their faces aghast.

Atop Emperor Sword Mountain, when Ji Qingxuan and Wei Hongye saw the youth climbing up, they were momentarily stunned, then somewhat surprised.

“You made it up here too?”

Murong Qingwu saw this junior brother actually keeping pace with her, a hint of surprise in her eyes, and then she stared at him.

At this moment, Gu Yan’s robe was torn, appearing to have been through a hard battle, yet his expression was incredibly calm; the immortal power around him carried a sense of lightness and antiquity. He only gave Ji Qingxuan a slight nod before gazing around, looking for the location of the Abyss Master.

“What a monster.”

Wei Hongye saw the prideful demeanor of this young brother, feeling not only helpless but also a bit sentimental.

Having just joined the sect, he was already catching up with them, who had been cultivating arduously for many years; such talent was incomparable.

At the edge of the isolated cliff behind the hut, Yun Wumian was also observing this youth.

For two years, he had paid attention to the youth’s every challenge, his progress was astonishing.

Such wisdom even stirred in him a hint of appreciation for talent.

If this time the youth had failed, he would have considered making an exception for him, but unexpectedly this kid really proved his worth.

At this moment.

On the Sixth Level of Emperor Sword Mountain, Yue Xi, however, was faltering.

Her expression was bleak; the gap in primordial spirit made her extremely difficult to withstand the Ancient Demon, constantly being suppressed.

At this moment, she returned to the hill, hearing the exclamations around her, she was stunned.

She looked around but did not see the figure of that junior brother.

“He…”

Xu Jianming, with a complex expression, replied: “Junior brother has already reached the summit.”

Yue Xi felt as if her mind was buzzing in shock; reached the summit?

The junior brother who entered the sect later than her had already reached the summit?!

She hadn’t even passed the Sixth Level!

For a moment, her fingers clenched tightly, not noticing the blood seeping out.

Her just-fallen footsteps suddenly turned, heading once more towards Emperor Sword Mountain.

Xu Jianming, at that moment, was also not in the mood to pay attention to her, feeling somewhat tumultuous himself, being so overtaken by the new junior brother was quite embarrassing.

As the end neared, the challenges at Emperor Sword Mountain became increasingly intense.

Yue Xi challenged several times in succession, though fighting desperately, she was still suppressed by the Ancient Demon of the Sixth Level.

Soon it was the last day.

Li Tie Mu’s voice echoed from the summit of Emperor Sword Mountain, announcing that today was the final test.

This last announcement pulled all disciples from their cultivation, whether to challenge Emperor Sword Mountain or to watch others climb from the hillside.

Standing on the Sixth Level, Yue Xi, upon hearing this sound that resounded throughout Emperor Sword Mountain, felt as if her whole body’s blood was set ablaze, her heart pounding vigorously; it was the last day.

If she missed this chance, the gap between her and that junior brother would widen immediately, unable to catch up, unable even to touch his shadow!

It couldn’t continue this way, absolutely not!

I must win, I must go up!

I must climb up!!

A glow appeared in Yue Xi’s eyes, unknowingly to herself, some power within her bloodline was quietly emanating.

The Calamity Clan, bringing disaster, was not without reason.

Simultaneously, the core power that brings calamity is linked to the Heaven Dao’s origin.

At this moment, a trace of the Heaven Dao’s origin power flowed into her; she was unaware, only a voice echoed repeatedly in her mind, I must win, I must climb up!!

She exploded with all her might, slashed with her sword, that one sword exuding a trace of the Heaven Dao’s origin majesty, carrying the aura of disaster, forcing the Ancient Demon’s prepared vicious attack to be dodged anxiously.

Yue Xi’s hair fluttered, her tall body seemed to transform into a spirit form, her sword strikes accelerating continuously, until even cleaving the Ancient Demon’s primordial spirit!

…

Emperor Sword Mountain First Level.

Li Tie Mu’s voice came from the summit.

Immersed in a chess game, Li Hao heard nothing until his clothing was gently tugged at his side, prompting him to turn his head in puzzlement.

“It’s the last day, after finishing this game of chess, you should go.”

Beside him, a Spirit Clan woman, Ah Ling, said.

Li Hao was slightly stunned, only then realizing how fast time had flown by.

He looked at the Spirit Clan elder opposite him, who stroked his beard with a smile and said, “Young man, the path of Chess Tao is long; we are fated, should we meet again someday, let’s play another game.”

Li Hao came to his senses, feeling somewhat regretful, and said, “Thank you, senior, for your companionship these past two years.”

The Spirit Clan elder was taken aback, then laughed heartily, “It’s I who should thank you, for letting me see such an interesting presence in the Human Race.”

Li Hao smiled softly, although during these two years he hadn’t grasped the Twelve Rank Chess Heart, his understanding of Chess Tao had made significant progress, his experience already full, only awaiting the insight to Tao Heart Realm, he could step into Chess Dao Twelve!

After a while.

This final match ended.

Li Hao lost.

Li Hao stood up, slightly cupped his hands and bowed, saying, “Farewell, elder.”

“This is a token of my Spirit Clan, the Spirit Talisman; with this talisman, should you ever have matters in the Spirit Clan Domain in the future, the Spirit Clan will treat you as one of their own, and you can also seek some simple assistance from the Spirit Clan.”
