Ye Xiao and Fang Yun soon separated and went on their own ways. They each had their own jobs to do.
Ye Xiao also got to know that Fang Yun was planning to enter the Spatial Domain as well.
They both said goodbye and if luck allowed, they’ll meet again inside the Spatial Domain.
Ye Xiao once again released his Divine Sense and started looking for Lin Hao. Very soon, he found him in front of a small sword-shaped boulder. This boulder was placed at the center of the city and was surrounded by many experts. They all seemed to be trying to comprehend something from the Sword-shaped boulder.
Lin Hao was also standing in front of this sword-shaped boulder but he doesn’t seem to be interested in it. Instead, his disciple Gu Xingyue was carefully observing the sword-shaped boulder and was trying to comprehend something just like many other experts.
Ye Xiao’s arrival did not startle anyone.
Ye Xiao looked around and asked someone, “Do you know what is happening here? What is that sword-shaped boulder?”
That man looked at Ye Xiao strangely as if saying, ‘Are you a fool? You don’t even know anything about such a divine object!’
Then he explained, “This is a Divine Sword Boulder left behind by Emperor Star Forest after his return. He…”
“His return?”
“Wait a minute. Did he return? When?”
The man was about to say something again but he was interrupted by Ye Xiao.
After talking with Xu Lingzi, Ye Xiao already knew that they came here chasing Emperor Star Forest. It is very likely that Emperor Star Forest has also returned. But when he really heard it, he was still surprised.
It is no wonder Xu Lingzi and others came to the Star Forest City directly after leaving the Formation God City.
Emperor Star Forest might be completely unaware of Xu Lingzi and other experts of Fragrant Peach Fairyland’s arrival. In his eyes, he returned to the Land of Morning Stars alone, and no one is chasing after him.
From Xu Lingzi, Ye Xiao already got to know that Emperor Star Forest sacrificed many of her people in order to obtain a treasure from the Deep Sea Abyss which is one of the forbidden lands in the Land of Blue Valley. And after that, he directly came to the Land of Morning Stars.
Emperor Star Forest might never have even imagined that the truth was revealed and he was being chased after by the people of Fragrant Peach Fairyland to the Land of Morning Stars.
And Xu Lingzi did not appear in front of Emperor Star Forest to catch him by surprise.
Ye Xiao had also learned from Xu Lingzi that Emperor Star Forest is a very powerful warrior and a Pill Refiner as well. Although he was not as powerful as Xu Lingzi who is an Origin Fusion Sovereign Realm warrior, his influence in the Land of Blue Valley is also very strong. It is mainly because of him being a Pill Refiner.
Emperor Sar Forest had left the Land of Morning Stars for millions of years already. When he left, he was already a Heavenly Saint. And in these millions of years, he was able to rise in power and become an expert at the Nine Vast Origin Sea Realm expert.
“Yes, he has returned. Isn’t that amazing? He returned a few days ago and just after his return, he took out this Divine Sword Boulder and announced that a marvelous sword skill is hidden inside this boulder. If someone could comprehend that sword skill, Emperor Star Forest will reward that person personally and accept that person as his disciple.”
“This is the reason why there is such a huge crowd here.”
That person replied enthusiastically. It could be seen how excited he was to talk about Emperor Star Forest.
Ye Xiao nodded and thanked the person. Then he looked at Lin Hao who was standing in front of the Divine Sword Boulder, letting Gu Xingyue comprehend the skill, and was protecting her from any possible ambush or danger.
Ye Xiao focused on the so-called Divine Sword Boulder and saw many sword marks on it. Every sword mark had its own special intent and seemed to be filled with so much profoundness that if someone’s mind and will is weaker, they will fall into a daze.
Every sword mark was deep and shallow, with different meanings!
Then Ye Xiao looked at Gu Xingyue who was completely focused on these sword marks.
Gu Xingyue was completely focused. At this moment, she felt something and suddenly she closed her eyes.
The sword intent from the sword marks on Divine Sword Boulder seemed to suddenly flow towards Gu Xingyue. A series of sword intents, like threads, surrounded Gu Xingyue layer upon layer!
And this change made everyone open their eyes in shock. No one expected a little girl to be the first one to comprehend something.
Gu Xingyue herself did not know this point.
Beside Gu Xingyue, Lin Hao became alert and looked over. His eyes were completely focused, not surprised. .
Yes, Lin Hao was not surprised by the fact that Gu Xingyue was able to cause a reaction from the Divine Sword Boulder. He seemed to have already expected it.
He became focused in order to stop anyone from disrupting Gu Xingyue’s flow and stop her from comprehending a powerful sword skill.
At this moment, Gu Xingyue had her eyes closed tightly. In her Chaos Divine Sea, an old man with uncertain reality appeared. He seemed to be illusory at first glance but real in the next moment. It was very strange.
“Oh? It’s been so long, and finally, someone who is suitable for my inheritance has appeared.”
Gu Xingyue looked at the old man and asked, “Is the Divine Sword Boulder an inheritance left by you, senior?”
The old man stroked his white beard. Although his figure was ethereal, his eyes were extremely energetic. Gu Xingyue just looked over and felt a sword force flowing in it!
“Not exactly. This boulder only has one of the sword skills I developed in the past. It has been left behind by me billions of years ago, unfortunately, no one was able to comprehend anything. I just didn’t expect that such a long time would pass and only then would someone like you appear. Sigh!”
Gu Xingyue then asked curiously: “Senior, where are you at the moment?”
Hearing this, the old man smiled and shook his head. He seemed to have remembered something and started reminiscing about the past. Then he said in a deep voice, “After the battle that year, I have already died, and what remains here is just a residual soul of mine.”
That battle back then?
Gu Xingyue frowned but did not ask anything. She knew some things is better not asked.
Instead, she said, “Is there any request you have? If I can, I will definitely try to fulfill it.”
The old man smiled after hearing Gu Xingyue. Then he shook his head and spoke, “Just stay careful. One day, my enemies might come after you because of the skill have comprehended just now. However, since you have already comprehended this special skill of mine, I’ll give you something else as well.”
After saying that, the old man took a deep breath. And then, the illusory yet real figure of the old man turned completely solid for a moment.
With a flip of his palm, streams of sword force flowed in Gu Xingyue’s Chaos Divine Sea and started crisscrossing one after another!
With the old man as the center, the sword force covered every corner of Gu Xingyue’s Chaos Divine Sea.
Gu Xingyue fell into a special state. It seems that there are threats everywhere, as long as she makes a slight move, she will be wiped out by the sword force. However, at the same time, these streams of sword forces seemed to be very friendly.
Gu Xingyue’s special state deepen and soon she started to comprehend something new. After an unknown period of time, she opened her eyes and her eyes flashed with deep sword light.
A lot of new pieces of information appeared in her mind and when she went through this information, Gu Xingyue’s heart skipped a beat.
She muttered silently, “This power, this force, it seemed to be infinite. What a marvelous sword, what a marvelous sharpness, what a marvelous aura. It is as if I am now capable of slashing through the void and shattering the sky.”
The old man smiled and then disappeared. At the same time, a voice rang in her Chaos Divine Sea, “I have left behind a trace of my Sword Force inside your Chaos Divine Sea. When you could become Minor Saint, my Sword Force could help you comprehend your own sword force.”
In the outside world, Gu Xingyue’s whole body also underwent shocking changes!
A terrifying sword aura went straight to the sky from her body, causing every sword in the surroundings to tremble. If there was any stable sword that did not react, then it was the God Slaying Sword on Lin Hao’s back.
