Double Sword Pavilion was one of the top powers that existed in the Great Martial City. Its strength was second to the only Sacred Land, Great Martial Sacred Land.
Although the Double Sword Pavilion's strength was slightly less than the Great Martial Sacred Land, compared to the seven top families, the Double Sword Pavilion was still slightly stronger power.
Moreover, it was said that the Double Sword Pavilion was only a branch of a Sacred Land that was located in a different city which was not the least smaller than the Great Martial City. That Sacred Land was known as Double Sword Sacred Land.
The Double Sword Sacred Land was the strongest Sacred Land among all the Sacred Lands of the Great Martial World. It was the leader of all the Sacred Lands.
It is said that the Leader of the Double Sword Sacred Land was an old man named Wang Jian. People also call him the King of Sword.
The sword way has four stages: Sword Light, Sword Ray, Sword Intent, and Sword Heart. It is said that the leader of the Double Sword Sacred Land has already stepped his foot on a stage above the Sword Heart. With just one thought, he could slash a mountain into thousands of small pieces. All he needed was just one thought. That was the realm his comprehension of sword way reached.
It is said that no one has ever surpassed the Sword Heart but the leader of the Double Sword Sect has done that.
Right now, a rumour was spreading in the Great Martial City.
The rumour was, the Leader of the Double Sword Sacred Land has arrived at the Great Martial City and was staying on the Third Floor of the Double Sword Pavilion for the time being. Rumour also said that the Leader of the Double Sword Sacred Land and the Leader of the Great Martial Sacred Land will be overseeing the first round of the Competition of Myriad Worlds.
.....
Ye Xiao planted as many herbs as he can on the Second Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda. Ye Xiao prepared these herbs to refine some immortal pills for Yue Ying to swallow and increase her strength. He also gave a few pills to her last night and now, today, Yue Ying has broken through and finally reached the Early Stage of the Immortal King Realm.
Ye Xiao told Yue Ying to stay in the room and consolidate her cultivation. After all, she has just stepped into a new cultivation realm and needed time to truly consolidate her cultivation base and adapt to the newly gained strength.
On the other hand, Ye Xiao left the inn and arrived in front of the Double Sword Pavilion.
Along the way, he also heard the rumours that were spreading in the city. When he heard that the Leader of the Double Sword Sacred Land has arrived, he felt nothing, but when he heard that the Leader of the Double Sword Sacred Land was staying on the Third Floor of the Double Sword Pavilion, it was as if he was electrified, he came to a sudden realization.
The old man from whom he bought the Dragon Blood Stone told him to come and meet him on the Third Floor of the Double Sword Pavilion. Could it be that that old man was the leader of the Double Sword Sacred Land?
No, he shouldn't be!
Ye Xiao immediately shook his head and rejected the idea. It is because he thought, why would the leader of the Double Sword Sacred Land be interested in him and why would he like to meet him?
Ye Xiao raised his head and looked at the Double Sword Pavilion.
There were actually two buildings and these two buildings combined were known as the Double Sword Pavilion.
These two buildings were made in 'X' shape. These two building seems to be like two swords intersecting each other from the middle. And the middle portion that was the point of intersection between two swords was the third floor of the Double Sword Pavilion.
Since there were two buildings, the entrance was also two.
Ye Xiao went to the nearest building and entered the Double Sword Pavilion via the huge gate at the front.
The moment he entered the Double Sword Pavilion, he immediately sensed Sword Intent everywhere. He moved his gaze and saw many swords hanging on the wall of the Sword Pavilion. Every sword was emitting a dense Sword Intent.
Ye Xiao's attention was attracted by a black sword hanging at the topmost area of the left-side wall. This Black Sword was not only emitting dense Sword Intent, there was also strong killing intent emitting out from this sword. It was as if this sword has killed thousands of men and demons.
The moment Ye Xiao saw this sword, a few words flashed in his mind.
"Pseudo-Divine Weapon!"
Streams of information suddenly flashed in his mind. Obviously, these pieces of information were from the memories of the Ancient God of Weapon Refinement.
He immediately got to know that above the Immortal Rank Weapon comes Pseudo-Divine Weapon.
There was no grade of the Pseudo-Divine Weapon.
Currently, a young man was standing below this sword and was staring at the black sword with anticipation in his eyes.
"Lin Hao..."
Ye Xiao immediately recognized the young man who was staring at this sword intently. He was Lin Hao. An excited expression appeared on Ye Xiao's face when he saw Lin Hao here.
What surprised him was that Lin Hao's cultivation has actually reached the Late Stage of the Immortal King Realm. He was only a single step away from becoming an Immortal Emperor Realm martial artist.
Moreover, Ye Xiao could also feel a terrifying aura that was subconsciously leaking out from Lin Hao's body as he was intently staring at the Black Sword, completely emerging in his own world.
This aura seemed to be extremely sharp, just like a sharp sword slash that could slash through anything and cut them down into fine pieces.
"Sword Heart!"
When Lin Hao was still on the Azure Sky Continent, he had already grasped the Third Stage of the Sword Way, Sword Intent.
Now, after spending so many years in the Upper Realm, it was not surprising for Ye Xiao that Lin Hao has comprehended the Sword Heart. With Sword Heart, Lin Hao's fighting prowess increased a lot.
Ye Xiao was sure that even a Late Stage Immortal Emperor Realm martial artist will die under Lin Hao's sword.
Of course, if the two of them were to fight, Ye Xiao still believed that he'll win even if he didn't transform into any dragon. He has a lot of trump cards under his hand.
Ye Xiao wanted to go and meet Lin Hao but he was blocked by a middle-aged man. This middle-aged man was bald and a long scar was spread from his left eyebrow to the middle of his bald head.
The bald middle-aged man said, "Are you Ye Xiao?"
Ye Xiao was surprised that this middle-aged man actually knows him. Ye Xiao looked at the middle-aged man suspiciously but still nodded his head, giving him an affirmative answer.
The bald middle-aged man revealed a smile and said, "I was not sure before but now that you admit it, there is no doubt you are Ye Xiao, haha!"
Ye Xiao squinted his eyes and looked at the bald middle-aged man, thinking in his heart if the bald middle-aged man was a fool or there was something wrong with his head?
Seeing Ye Xiao's expression, that bald man again said, "You know Wu Cheng, Ta Mu, and Huang Daniu, right?"
Seeing Ye Xiao nodding his head, the bald said further, "They showed be your portrait and told me that you are the tenth and also the last person they've chosen to enter 'that' place. I coincidently saw you here, so I came to meet you."
"Oh! I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Wu Feng and I'm the elder brother of Wu Cheng, also one of the Deputy Pavilion Master of this Double Sword Pavilion."
Ye Xiao muttered, "Deputy Pavilion Master" and then he asked, "What do mean by the tenth person and entering 'that' place?"
The bald middle-aged man seemed to realize something. He said, "My tongue slipped. I shouldn't have mentioned 'that' place to you. Anyway, you'll come to know about that place after the First Round of the Competition of Myriad Worlds!"
Ye Xiao became even more confused, but looking at the bald man's firm expression, Ye Xiao understood one thing. No matter how many times he'll ask, this bald middle-aged man was not going to tell him anything right now.
"What are you doing here?"
Suddenly, the bald middle-aged man asked.
Ye Xiao answered, "I was invited by an old man yesterday. He told me to come and visit him. He should be on the Third Floor. I was going to meet him!"
"What? Are you sure it was an old man who invited you to meet him?"
The bald middle-aged man was immediately shocked when he heard Ye Xiao and exclaimed out loud.
"I'm sure!" Ye Xiao nodded and answered.
