Chapter 1: Crossing into Another World

  At this time, Cang Ye was constantly evolving his swordsmanship in the stone cave, unaware that the entire world had already been thrown into chaos.

  The Sword Emperor and Li Tian Luo sensed the range of the entire mountain range, but that was all. The spiritual energy of the entire mountain range surged over, what about outside the mountain range?

  After all, being able to absorb the spiritual energy of an entire mountain range to create a set of sword moves is already exaggerated to the extreme. Outside of the mountains? They didn't even dare think about it...

  Green mist on the mountain peak, green mist in the temple.

  "Reporting to Master Shifu, it's not just Qingxia Mountain and its surroundings, but seemingly the entire Qingxia realm, where there are rumors that spiritual energy is surging towards the east for no reason!"

  " Investigate! Go and investigate the direction immediately! No matter what evil spirit or treasure appears, as long as it is within my Qingxia realm, I must intensify the investigation. Once news is obtained, report to me immediately!"

  "Yes sir, I'll take my leave."

  He waved his hand, indicating that the disciples below could withdraw.

  At this time, Yue Xingyan, who was sitting in the master's seat, had a frown on his face. Since three days ago, the spiritual energy of Qingxia Mountain has been mysteriously draining away, and by yesterday, the speed of the drainage had reached an extremely fast pace.

  Yue Xingyan initially feared that someone would deliberately target the Qingxia Sect, so he ordered people to inquire about the situation in various places within the Qingxia territory. However, the information obtained was beyond his expectation. Later on, there were continuous messages coming from all over the Qingxia territory, and the situation was similar to that of Qingxia Mountain.

  But since it wasn't specifically targeting Qingxia Sect, I can slightly put my mind at ease. To absorb all the spiritual energy of the entire Qingxia realm's billions of miles of land, this is absolutely not something that the five major sects can do!

  He called out and beckoned a disciple to come in.

  "Let our scouts in the other four domains also transmit the changes in spiritual energy within their respective domains." He gave another order, and then slightly relaxed his body.

  Feeling the speed of the spiritual energy flowing away getting faster and faster, Yue Xingyan's slightly relaxed heart was raised again.

  Rubbed his head, every time the spiritual energy of heaven and earth flows strangely, something big will change.

  A hundred years ago, that place opened up. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth also disappeared a lot, but later gradually recovered. Moreover, such situations have appeared many times in history, and after the event, everything returned to normal, I hope this time is the same!

  Four days later.

  "Reporting to Senior Brother, the current situation of the Four Sects is now the same as our sect. The spiritual energy is mysteriously draining away and all are surging towards the East!"

  "Alright, I know, take care, younger brother."

  He dismissed the disciple who had reported to him. Yue Xingyan left the main hall and stood in front of the gate, looking down at the entire Purple Mist Mountain. He felt that the momentum of the entire mountain was rising steadily.

  Nodded in satisfaction, and didn't ask for further investigation.

  "It's indeed the prosperity of my sect! Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is dwindling, the momentum of my sect is rising steadily. But I wonder, who exactly is behind the rise of my sect? Li Shidi, what secrets are you hiding?"

  Yuexing's eyes gazed far into the distance, as if trying to see something.

  It was just as the night sky began to sense the fifth form that the Sword Emperor of Heaven's Gate started to feel a sense of foreboding. Because the amount of spiritual energy pouring in now was not something that a mere mountain range could provide.

  Watching such a drastic change, he was afraid of attracting attention from others. Therefore, Li Tian Luo directly ran out of the mountain range, wanting to see how far the impact would reach. He arrived at the nearest city and through the sect's residence here, learned about a shocking situation: all the spiritual energy within the entire Qing Xia realm was surging towards this side!

  He didn't know what sword technique Cang Ye was practicing, but being able to bring about such a change, Li Tian Luo looked forward to his future achievements even more.

  Knowing that it was impossible to deceive the sect any longer, he contacted Yue Xingyan directly through the sect's secret method and told him that everything was his own doing. He asked the sect to help cover up for him in the future and explain things to them later.

  In this way, Yue Xingyan secretly arranged for a few trusted elders to cover up for Cang Ye, without letting the spies of the other four sects discover the specific situation.

  Inside the stone cave, I don't know how long it has been, Cang Ye is still immersed in the demonstration of the sword technique "Lunhui Qingjian Quan". Now, finally arrived at the eighth sword. The most terrifying last three moves are about to appear!

  It was still that giant sword. The venue at this time was no longer in the mountains and rivers, but had transformed into a boundless starry sky.

  The giant sword floated quietly in space, without a single movement. It seemed to have also felt the oppression of this endless space and sensed some unknown existence restraining it.

  Perhaps it was unwilling to be bound, perhaps it was rejected by time and space. The sword hums that shook the heavens began to sound continuously. After an unknown period of time, the last sword hum disappeared in the universe. The long sword seemed unwilling to be oppressed again. Struggling constantly, finally, he seemed to break through the constraints of the entire space. The sword momentum soared into the sky.

  The entire void was filled with sword waves surging to the heavens. Before even making a move, there's already such earth-shaking momentum today! What level of mastery is required to control this eighth sword realm?!

  Sword waves surged, countless spatial fissures were torn open by the eerie, like the destructive power of the third form of the divine sword, under the sword's momentum, the entire space presented a terrifying scene.

  The sword has yet to be drawn, but it has already brought about a world of doom!

  The constantly rolling sword waves finally reached the top, and at this time, the giant sword was launched!

  A white light filled his vision, making it impossible to see anything else! Cang Ye involuntarily closed his eyes, feeling the endless destruction, wave after wave of sword energy that shook his soul, constantly impacting his heart. If he weren't the master of this world's evolution, he would have probably dissipated into nothingness long ago!

  After a sword had passed by, the world was calm and peaceful. Only then did Cang Ye slowly open his eyes, which had been closed in anticipation of that shocking power.

  As far as the eye can see, there is no existence, it seems that nothing has ever been here. Although it's just a thought. But Cang Ye felt that in this space, even time seemed to have disappeared!

  "Reincarnation Sword Style" 8th Form: Annihilate Time and Space!

  Cang Ye now simply watched the continuous demonstration of these sword moves, and since the fifth sword, it had already far surpassed the realm that he could understand. He was now just a passerby.

  It seemed like an eternity had passed, and the scene was changing. The giant sword reappeared, but this time it seemed to have lost its awe-inspiring presence that shattered space and time.

  Innumerable thunderbolts struck him, and a thousand lotus flowers blazed on the body of his sword.

  Heavenly Fire Thunderbolt!

  The heavens punish the earth with its ultimate means!

  The sword body began to collapse, the giant sword unwillingly disappeared in an instant, but it was unable to stop the disappearance of the last piece of the sword body. The heavenly robbery is actually so powerful that even the sword intent that can destroy a space-time can be erased!

  Having felt that boundless sword energy, he couldn't believe it. Was it really over just like that? Was the actual "Reincarnation Slashing Sword Technique" only eight moves after all?

  Cang Ye didn't know what would happen next, but he firmly believed it wasn't the final sword!

  Can only quietly wait, looking forward to, the ninth sword, will definitely appear!

  Outside the grotto, the spiritual energy of the entire world has dissipated a lot. Although heaven and earth will continue to produce it, with such a large consumption, it's likely that it won't recover to its original density for some time.

  Almost all the leaders and elders of the world have come out to investigate, wanting to get to the bottom of this strange phenomenon. Unfortunately, after nearly half a month of investigation, they only know that the spiritual energy is surging towards the East, but no one knows exactly where it is going. Every time they are about to find out, they will be mysteriously disrupted. In the world, only the current number one sect, Qingxia Sect, can achieve this level. However, there is no evidence, and other sects have no way of questioning them. So far, they still haven't figured out what's going on.

  Just as Cang Ye thought that there would be no more after the ninth sword, the spiritual energy of the entire world erupted again. The intensity was even greater than the previous one a few days ago.

  "Send word to Elder Li, tell him to hurry back to the sect!"

  Yue Xingyan, the leader of Qingxia Sect, who was sitting in the Qingxia Hall, could no longer sit still. Although he saw that the sect's overall situation was constantly improving, without the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, even if they became the number one sect, what would be the point? Warriors wouldn't be able to cultivate anymore, let alone talk about being the best in the world!

  "What the heck is Li Tian Luo doing, causing such a huge commotion? Even during the biggest disturbance when the Luoxing Mausoleum was opened back then, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth wasn't as turbulent as this. Could he have discovered some ancient relic and is now trying to open it? No way, this matter needs to be clarified quickly, or else I won't be able to cover for him for more than a few days!"

  In the grand hall, pacing back and forth, even a king or the leader of a sect would be anxious. At this moment, Yue Xingyan also started to get flustered. If things continued like this, heaven forbid that the world might lose its spiritual energy. Forging the Pre-Heaven would be just a dream!

  Through the sect's secret method, when Li Tian Luo received the news, he didn't know how to explain it to the sect. To be honest, if he accidentally leaked the news, Cang Ye would be in danger later on. If he casually made up a lie, the problem was that others had to believe him!

  Finally, Li Tian Luo, who couldn't think of a solution, told the Sword Emperor about this matter. The Sword Emperor knew that he didn't have any way to deal with it either; after all, he was just a Sword Emperor, even if his current strength could put him among the top ten strongest in the world. Even the legendary First Spirit Emperor wouldn't have the power to create such a big scene.

  That year, there were several events of heavenly spiritual energy fluctuations, but those were all the opening of ancient ruins. Apart from these, there was no other reason. Was he going to use the Heaven-Stealing Sword Emperor to get an ancient ruin out?

  Just as the two of them were spinning around in a flurry, Cang Ye was standing there with a puzzled expression.

  It's been so long, how come there's still no change, could it be that the sword technique really only has eight styles? Cang Ye didn't notice, but the ground he was sitting on with his legs crossed slowly revealed countless patterns. If he could open his eyes at this moment, he would definitely discover that this is very similar to the formation that transmitted him here yesterday.

  The spiritual energy between heaven and earth has thinned out to a certain extent. Even in areas where spiritual energy is concentrated, they can feel the scarcity of spiritual energy.

  "This kid, what kind of sword technique has he cultivated? How can it possibly require such a terrifying amount of spiritual energy! This sword technique shouldn't exist in this world!"

  At this time, the Sword Emperor began to regret letting Cang Ye enter, as this commotion would attract countless powerful beings. According to his own personality and friendship with Ji Huang, he wouldn't leave. In that case, the outcome might be a downfall!

  As the spiritual energy poured in at an increasingly slower rate, the formation grew brighter. It seemed that after absorbing a sufficient amount of spiritual energy, the entire formation had begun to reach saturation!

  "Boom!" The spiritual energy between heaven and earth suddenly calmed down, and all the surging spiritual energy stopped flowing. This sudden change left countless warriors stunned on the spot.

  Outside the stone cave, Du Tianjian and Li Tianluo looked at each other, if not for the spiritual energy between heaven and earth dropping a level, they would think that nothing had happened.

  "Is it finally over?" The thought arose in both of their minds at the same time. It was too eerie, a strange feeling spread throughout the mountain range. Ahead, the waves were still turbulent, vowing to devour all the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, but now it was so calm.

  "Master Uncle, what exactly is that place you mentioned? Is it always so bizarre every time it's opened?"

  Although asking about someone's secrets is a taboo in the world of martial arts, Li Tian Luo really wanted to know this time, as he had never encountered such a thing in his life.

  "If every place was like this, my territory would have been trampled by the strong in the world long ago. Besides, who else but your precious disciple could cause such a big commotion?" Glaring at Li Tian Luo with annoyance.

  Smiling wryly, I thought that this was indeed something that Cang Ye had come up with, and so didn't have the nerve to ask anything more.

  At this moment, inside the stone cave, Cang Ye's figure also flickered strangely, as if he was about to leave this world. In the brief moment when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth calmed down, the array under the seat emitted a piercing light, and the faintly visible figure became completely transparent before disappearing into the heavens...
