The sect leaders were disappointed their trap did not bear any fruit. They could only imprison the captured man, keep him under strict supervision, and make a long-term plan.
Yun Chujiu was already mentally prepared for this, so she was not too surprised. What troubled her now was that although her spiritual power had reached the limit of breaking through, she still could not break through to the next level. It seemed that she still had more training to do.
Just as Yun Chujiu was worried about where to go to gain more experience, a piece of news shook the entire Qing Xuan continent.
The Ancient Sword Tomb in the Endless Wilderness actually appeared ahead of schedule!
The Ancient Sword Tomb only appeared once every thousand years. According to the current cycle of time, it should still be another hundred years before it appeared. Nobody knew why it had appeared ahead of schedule.
Although the Ancient Sword Tomb was said to be a sword tomb, in reality, it was considered a treasure vault as well. There were countless ancient spirit tools to be found there and even the occasional immortal tools. It would stay for around four months before the next cycle.
Although entering the Ancient Sword Tomb was extremely tempting, only people above the fifth layer of the spirit cultivator realm could do so safely due to the dangers found inside. However, almost all high-level cultivators would still flock to it despite the danger for a chance to find rare spirit tools.
The members of the Spirit Flower sect were naturally no exception. When they heard the news of the Ancient Sword Tomb appearing, they all rubbed their hands together and could not wait to go to the sword tomb immediately.
However, if everyone rushed to the sword tomb, then the sect would be empty, and it would be easy for others to take advantage of it. Therefore, after discussing with everyone, Master Xuanyuan decided they would go there in two batches. Each batch would have two months, and after the first batch returned, it would be the second batch’s turn.
After hearing the news, Yun Chujiu hopped to look for Master Xuanyuan. “Master Xuanyuan, I want to go too!”
Master Xuanyuan couldn’t help but laugh. “Little Jiu, not everyone can enter the sword tomb. Only those above the fifth level of the spirit cultivator realm can. You don’t have enough spirit energy, so I’m sorry to say you can’t.”
Yun Chujiu giggled. Then, Master Xuanyuan saw Yun Chujiu’s spirit energy level rise and finally stop at the fifth level of the spirit cultivator realm.
“You… You have already broken through to the fifth level of the Spirit Realm?!” Master Xuanyuan asked in surprise.
Yun Chujiu nodded. “Master Xuanyuan, I can go now, right?”
“Alright, in that case, let’s follow Elder Xiao and the others to the sword tomb first. We must be careful.” Master Xuanyuan was stunned for a while. Reaching the fifth level of the spirit realm at the age of sixteen, what kind of abnormal talent was this?! The Heavenly Spirit Root was indeed not something that mortals like us could compare to?! If he found out that Yun Chujiu had already reached the first layer of the Spirit Emperor realm, he would have probably fainted from shock.
The next morning, the people of the Spirit Flower sect set off for the Endless Wilderness.
An Feng was still tasked with protecting Yun Chujiu, so he also followed the Spirit Flower sect’s flying spirit tool.
The Spirit Flower sect was about half a month away from the Endless Wilderness. Yun Chujiu had a very comfortable life on the flying ship, because Feng Ming, Shi Xuan, and Geng Yi were also amongst the first group of people to go to the Ancient Sword Tomb.
Feng Ming was now at the sixth level of the spirit cultivator realm, while Shi Xuan and Geng Yi were at the fifth level of the spirit cultivator realm. The four of them gathered together and played cards together as usual.
After half a month, they finally arrived at the Endless Wilderness.
The Endless Wilderness was a no-fly zone, so everyone had to get off their flying spirit tools and walk toward the Ancient Sword Tomb.
As soon as they got off their flying tools, they saw a man in red standing in front of them. He greeted everyone in a flashy manner, “Everyone, long time no see. I, Yun chuling, miss you all very much!”
