Chapter 1211: Chapter 260: Showdown at Emperor Sword Mountain (Part 2)

“If we’re discussing merit rewards, shouldn’t it be the Second-grade Demon-suppressing Guard?”

The elderly woman beside him showed appreciation and a smile in her eyes.

Li Tie Mu, standing nearby, wore a smile as well, though the joy in his eyes was barely concealed, for Ji Qingxuan was his prized disciple.

“Such a minor accomplishment, it’s not worth mentioning, the elders are too polite.”

Ji Qingxuan clearly had no intention of engaging in deep conversation; he was very low-key, responding with calmness before descending in front of Lu Wuchen.

Yue Xi gazed at the handsome and mature senior brother, feeling an immense pressure emanating from him, a pressure that did not originate from the True Immortal Realm but rather an Immortal Lord!

Gu Yan, standing behind Li Hao, also unusually stretched his neck, looking over Li Hao’s shoulder to observe the other’s back, but soon withdrew his gaze, unclear thoughts flickering in his eyes.

“Seven Ancient Demon Commanders…”

Li Hao, however, seemed somewhat distracted, feeling his mouth watering and his stomach growling.

If he were to cook and eat the seven Ancient Demon Commanders, how many Primordial Spirit Bones could he refine?

As his thoughts wandered, Li Tie Mu’s voice pulled him back, and he saw Li Tie Mu looking solemn, without a trace of frivolity, clad not in ragged clothes but in a rare deep black elder’s robe, appearing profound and dignified.

“The reason for gathering everyone today is that the Abyss Master intends to focus on nurturing you all, making the Emperor Sword slots open to the capable among you, allowing them to obtain a spot to comprehend the Emperor Sword!”

Hearing Li Tie Mu’s words, the people in the plaza exchanged glances, both shocked and excited.

The Abyss Master, the Master of Sword Abyss, hidden and formidable, existed in the Immortal King Realm, daunting indeed, a dominant force across the vast True Realm!

And the Emperor Sword slots are publicly accessible, unlike the previous selections made from above, which made many disciples’ eyes gleam.

“As you all know, the Southern Domain Battle is approaching!”

“This Southern Domain Battle will reshuffle the power in the Southern Domain, providing our Great Dream Nine Abysses Sect the best opportunity to return to its former days as Tianyi Sect!”

Li Tie Mu’s gaze was proud and stern, his voice resonating as he said:

“Jiuyuan will select the most monstrous geniuses to compete for this opportunity. Thus, the sect will make all cultivation resources available; as long as you have the talent to seize it, you can ascend to the pinnacle in one leap!”

His words stirred excitement in many disciples, with many trembling in exhilaration.

“This time the Emperor Sword slots are open, and one will enter the Emperor Sword Domain early to comprehend the Emperor Sword!”

Li Tie Mu looked around and said to everyone: “This heaven-sent opportunity depends on you passing the tests.”

“Indeed.”

Zhou Qingyun took his words and smiled, “The test this time is not difficult. The Abyss Master has set up seven trials on Emperor Sword Mountain; passing them all to reach the summit grants you the slot and opportunity!”

“Moreover, there are no limitations on slots! Anyone who passes the seven trials can comprehend the Emperor Sword!”

Hearing his words, order in the plaza seemed to collapse, and the people couldn’t help but cheer.

“Looks like the sect is really going all out this time!”

Xu Jianming couldn’t help but remark.

“See you at the summit then.”

The fifth senior sister, Murong Qingwu, smiled.

“Not that easy, with the slots opened up, the trials must be extremely tough.”

Xu Jianming shook his head, but did not seem much worried; instead, his gaze turned to Li Hao at the back:

“Senior and junior disciples, you also need to seize this opportunity.”

Yue Xi’s eyes were serious; she naturally understood that such an opportunity was rare.

However, having been apprenticed for less than two years, Xu Jianming’s analysis was logical, and the trials would surely be challenging, could she really pass them?

Although she questioned her talent as not inferior to others, the time here had still been too short.

“This time, the main targets are the Earth Institute and Heavenly Institute; Xuan Institute disciples have no chance, so there’s no need for them to participate.”

The elderly woman’s cane tapped gently in the air, and Li Hao felt its tip emitting a fluctuation of the Space Path.

Subsequently, that fluctuation followed a curved crack, tearing apart the void overhead, revealing a towering mountain within.

Speaking of a mountain, it actually consisted of seven layers, each layer seeming to be cleaved apart and suspended.

Space Path… Li Hao glanced at the elderly woman, noting that her emanated Space Path fluctuation wasn’t deep, merely at the level of the Space Path’s First Level.

“These seven layers of Emperor Sword Mountain: the first layer features a hundred True Immortal Realm Fifth Level Spirit Clan members!”

The elderly woman’s eyes were set on the Emperor Sword Mountain at the passage’s other end; just her first few words extinguished the cheers in the plaza.

The first layer had over a hundred True Immortal Realm Fifth Level Spirit Clan members?!

“The second layer holds 50 True Immortal Realm Sixth Level Demon Race members!”

“The third layer contains 20 True Immortal Realm Seventh Level Demon Race members!”

“The fourth layer has 10 True Immortal Realm Eighth Level Demon Race members!”

“The fifth layer features three True Immortal Realm Sixth Level Ancient Demons!”

“The sixth layer boasts one True Immortal Realm Eighth Level Ancient Demon!”

“The seventh layer encompasses one True Immortal Realm Ninth Layer Ancestor Dragon!”

As the elderly woman finished her statement, the entire plaza fell into a pin-drop silence.

Open slots? Everyone has a chance?

These seven trials… what a joke, if you don’t intend to give them, just say it!

Many disciples of the Earth Institute were on the verge of tears, inwardly cursing.

Seven trials, each more monstrous than the last, and the seventh layer is outrageous—a True Immortal Realm Ninth Layer Ancestor Dragon, a member of the Ancestor Dragon clan who in the same realm could barely contend with the Ancient Demons, only their Primordial Spirits weaker than the Ancient Demons, which meant they needed at least True Immortal Realm Perfection to pass!
