Chapter 1219: Chapter 262: Ascending to the Summit in One Step!

This challenge is more difficult than before, with not many other disciples to help share the burden, she has to face more of the Demon Race alone.

However, Yue Xi, with the pride of a prodigy, did not find it bad. Instead, she disliked that other disciples took away the Demon Race, preventing her from having a fair test.

This time, she fought her way to the Fourth Layer, facing five True Immortal Eighth Layer demons, and after a hard battle, she barely won.

Time flies.

Half a year later.

Wei Hongye, Gu Yan, Murong Qingwu, and others took turns to challenge.

Wei Hongye and Murong Qingwu still fell before the Seventh Layer’s Ancestor Dragon.

However, Gu Yan suddenly surged to the Fifth Layer!

And, facing three Ancient Demons at the True Immortal Realm Sixth Level of the Fifth Layer, he surprisingly defeated them all, advancing straight to the Sixth Layer before finally being defeated.

Faced with Gu Yan’s enormous leap in progress, the others were all shocked, and they realized that perhaps Gu Yan’s Primordial Spirit had already broken through the Extreme Realm and refined the Primordial Spirit veins, otherwise he wouldn’t have handled the Ancient Demons with such ease.

During these six months, there were also other disciples of the Elders, with two more people ascending to the Seventh Layer, reaching the summit, and winning the opportunity to comprehend the Emperor Sword.

At the First Layer of Emperor Sword Mountain.

At the cliff edge far from the central area, Li Hao was playing chess with an elder from the Spirit Clan.

In the exchanges, Li Hao occasionally had victories.

The chess ability of the Spirit Clan elder was comparable to that of Elder Wang, but with a different style, and moreover, the opponent showed no courtesy on the chessboard, making Li Hao’s wins come with some luck, seizing upon the opponent’s oversights.

“You kid, aren’t you going to challenge?”

As a game concluded, the elder from the Spirit Clan looked at Li Hao and couldn’t help but smile and ask.

Through these six months of playing chess and chatting idly, they had grown somewhat close and familiar, and he found this unusual disciple of Sword Abyss somewhat interesting, unlike other disciples who were fighting competitively; he remained calm.

“There’s still plenty of time, no rush, no rush.”

Li Hao smiled.

Rarely encountering someone surpassing his chess ability, how could he easily miss out.

This was a rare opportunity for cultivation, hard enough to find such an opponent to play against on an ordinary day.

The elder from the Spirit Clan chuckled silently but didn’t advise more. Their race, having been caught and brought here, held no fondness for the Sword Abyss. While the lad didn’t evoke dislike, it was still hard to say they felt very close.

Li Hao gathered the chess pieces and ceded the seat to the middle-aged Spirit Clan, while he contemplated the cause for his recent failure.

In this half-year, his Chess Tao experience had accumulated greatly, and if he could grasp the Twelfth Rank Chess Heart here, that would be for the best.

In a blink, another half-year passed.

Since the Emperor Sword challenge had been a year, Emperor Sword Mountain had become desolate, with many disciples practicing comprehension outside.

Only upon achieving breakthroughs and progress would they come onto Emperor Sword Mountain to engage in actual combat.

At the Seventh Layer of Emperor Sword Mountain, Li Tie Mu and an elderly woman accompanied Zhou Qingyun here.

This Seventh Layer’s battle with the Ancestor Dragon was watched over in turns by them, as only they could act timely with enough strength to rescue disciples from the Ancestor Dragon’s clutches.

“That disciple of yours will soon reach this level. Born with the Sword Immortal physique, truly extraordinary!”

Zhou Qingyun couldn’t help but sigh.

Their gazes all shifted from the sea of clouds before them to the hill below the mountain, upon that black-clad youth.

“In just a year, he’s been able to contend with the Ancient Demon of True Immortal Eighth Layer, and his Desert Cutting Technique has also been cultivated to the Third Layer. If not for his own being merely True Immortal Realm Fourth Level, with too large a gap in immortal power, he would already be able to defeat ordinary True Immortal Ninth Layer.”

The elderly woman’s voice also carried sentiment, as the Desert Cutting Technique was one of the top Sword Dao Skills in Sword Abyss Tower, chosen by and mastered by that youth.

“True Immortal Realm Fourth Level, already shows hints of a little invincibility at True Immortal Realm; the Ancient Immortal Lineage is among the few that can compare with the Emperor Clan lineage, not unfounded.”

Zhou Qingyun said.

Li Tie Mu wore a smile, but his eyes held concern.

Time is too short. For a prodigy, what’s most lacking is not cultivation resources, but time!

Regarding cultivation resources, great powers can compensate. He covertly provided Gu Yan with fifty thousand Immortal Stones, helping him reach True Immortal Realm Fourth Level within a year.

Currently, Gu Yan lacks neither Immortal Stones nor Immortal Pills, and with the concentration of immortal power here, he has the chance to push further to True Immortal Realm Fifth Level within a year!

Such a pace of advancement is truly terrifying, and by then, with twice the immortal power, a challenge against the Ancestor Dragon might not be hopeless.

However, it’s not assured, and no one is confident of a guaranteed victory.

Seeing Old Man Li’s concerns, the elderly woman shook her head, saying, “You’re really quite greedy. Red Leaf has already reached the summit, and Qingwu has great potential; aren’t you satisfied?”

Old Man Li faintly smiled wryly, saying, “But Red Leaf already has a soul life near three millennia; we can’t just rely on her to charge into the Southern Domain battle. Though her talent is high, leading our sect to higher ranks is still somewhat fragile.”

“Looks like you’re placing your hopes on that Sword Immortal physique, and that’s fair enough. If given a three-year period, he might well earn the spot.”

Zhou Qingyun nodded, his eyes suddenly shifting, saying, “However, with such talent, the Abyss Master is also watching. If he can’t make it in time, making an exception isn’t impossible, since privileges are intended for prodigies.”

Li Tie Mu nodded slightly, already having considered this thought. If the boy truly doesn’t catch up, he’ll swallow his pride and ask the Abyss Master for an exception.

“As for the little girl of the Calamity Clan, she’s probably not going to make it in time, still struggling at the Fifth Layer. Her Primordial Spirit isn’t sufficient, and cultivating the Primordial Spirit is no day’s work.”

The elderly woman said.

Li Tie Mu nodded; he had observed Yue Xi, that little girl, and aside from Gu Yan, her talent was considered terrifying, but this time, luck wasn’t on her side.
