Maximum Comprehension: Taking Care of Swords In A Sword Pavilion

Chapter 2175: 931, Yuming Thirteen Swords!

A trial by fire, their lives were their own responsibility.

At one statement from Han Muye, everyone before the Sword Nurturing Hut changed expressions in an instant.

Some faces revealed surprise and joy, while others showed an expression of panic.

Xu Zhichu looked up towards where Xu Fengran was standing, a flicker of battle intent in his gaze.

Xu Fengran, on the other hand, was ecstatic, looking at Han Muye as his blood essence and sword power surged within him.

Han Muye took in everyone’s expressions and turned to walk into the Sword Nurturing Hut.

Inside the Sword Nurturing Hut, rows of swords resonated.

His gaze landed on an ancient three-foot-long sword. Han Muye reached out and called it to his hand.

Faint blood essence poured into the sword body, making the sword tremble and revealing a series of images in Han Muye’s mind.

Three thousand miles away lay the Yuming Abyss, once the stronghold of the Yuming Sword Sect.

Although the Yuming Sword Sect was not one of the Thirty-Six Sword Sects, its strength 100,000 years ago was no less than any of them.

Its heritage was the Yuming Thirteen Swords, the Meteorite sword technique of the sect.

The sword that Han Muye held was the personal sword of an elder of the Yuming Sword Sect.

Contained within the sword were memories related to the annihilation of the Yuming Sword Sect.

70,000 years ago, mutated beasts besieged the Yuming Sword Sect, and several Life and Death Realm experts took action, inciting changes in the surrounding power of heaven and earth, resulting in the Yuming Sword Sect sinking into the mountains and seas.

The Yuming Abyss was precisely that former Yuming Sword Sect’s site.

Along with the sect’s doorway that sank underground, there lay the sword bones of the deceased Life and Death Realm powerhouses, their swords, and many mutated beast bodies.

The entire inheritance of the Yuming Sword Sect and various treasures had also sunken into the abyss.

The remaining Yuming Sword Sect disciples, under the guidance of several elders, spent generations of effort to forge a path into the depths of the abyss.

Unfortunately, word leaked out, and surrounding sects invaded. To protect their heritage from extinction, the Yuming Sword Sect people destroyed the tunnel and scattered their disciples.

From then on, the Yuming Sword Sect truly disappeared in the river of time.

This time Han Muye was heading to the Yuming Abyss.

Within the memory of this sword, there was the location of the pathway left by the ancestors.

…

Three days later.

The All-Encompassing Sword Sect announced that they would resume the sale of swords after a year, much to the dismay of the many powerhouses who had gathered at the sect’s gate.

But no one dared to complain.

Three days earlier, a cry of alarm by an Extreme Dao Realm powerhouse from the Cloud Heaven Dao Gate in front of the Sword Nurturing Hut had informed everyone that the All-Encompassing Sword Sect had a Prime Origin Realm powerhouse in residence.

Although Xu Fengran did not admit that he was Sword Madman Xu Tianfeng, everyone knew that it didn’t matter whether he was a Thunder Ranking expert, as long as he was of the Prime Origin Realm.

In the whole of Yunzhou, a Prime Origin Realm being was a powerhouse that presided over a territory.

Previously, everyone thought Han Muye was merely a figurehead of the All-Encompassing Sword Sect, but the real hidden trump card turned out to be the Prime Origin Realm powerhouse, Xu Fengran.

The powerhouses in front of the sect’s main gate obediently dispersed.

Over a thousand people from the All-Encompassing Sword Sect followed Han Muye’s lead and headed west.

Among these thousand were not only the powerful fighters recently subjugated but also the stalwarts from various peaks of the All-Encompassing Sword Sect.

The transformations in front of the Sword Nurturing Hut were unknown to outsiders, but the masters and elders of the various peaks could see clearly.

Those who were once masters in their own right, of the Entering Dao Realm, were now entirely unremarkable in the current All-Encompassing Sword Sect.

In front of the Sword Nurturing Hut, dozens of people of the Dao Breaking Realm had already gathered.

Even if the sale of swords at the cost of the sect’s heritage had attracted these powerful fighters, that was tangible combat strength.

The combined heads of the All-Encompassing Sword Sect’s various peaks now did not even match a tenth of the strength held in Han Muye’s hands.

If they did not wish to be marginalized, then they would have to submit willingly.

The large troop traveled three thousand miles and stopped before a range of sprawling hills.

The hills were not lofty, with green mountains like ink and pines and cypress trees scattered all around.

In the Great Pantheon Plane, alchemy did not flourish, resulting in the abundance of spiritual herbs in the mountains and wilds to be ignored by most.

At the end of the expanse of mountains and wilds was a thousand-foot-wide, bottomless abyss that stretched for three hundred miles.

The abyss was fathomless, emitting a pervasive mist.

Even from dozens of miles away, everyone could feel the layers of oppressive blood essence emanating from within the abyss.

“This is the Yuming Abyss!”

“It is said that Yuming Abyss is the sealed land of mutated beasts, and it took countless elites to seal it,”

“Why has the sect master brought us here? Yuming Abyss is a forbidden land.”

Many people whispered with a hint of nervousness on their faces.

In such a dangerous place, not only were cultivators at the Seeking Dao and Entering Dao Realms at risk, but even those at the Dao Breaking and Dao Extinguishing levels could potentially lose their lives.

“Master, are we to enter Yuming Abyss?” Xu Fengran looked ahead, with a serious look in his eyes, “I can feel there is a barrier of heaven and earth there, and without the strength of the Life and Death Realm, it definitely cannot be broken.”

Barriers are the illusory power transformed from the power of heaven and earth in the Great Pantheon Plane.

This type of power that obstructs an area is connected with the Source Energy of the entire Great Pantheon Plane.

The strongest barrier on the Great Pantheon Plane is the one that protects the entire plane—a barrier of heaven and earth.

“Life and Death Realm?” Han Muye shook his head with a light chuckle, “Even the Heavenly Secret Realm cannot break it open.”

It was a barrier that hundreds of Life and Death Realm experts had sealed with the aid of more than a dozen Heavenly Secret Realm helpers.

Such a barrier could only be broken by those above the Heavenly Secret Realm, the powerful beings of the Karma Realm who dare to undertake its karma.

However, breaking the barrier would mean taking on the entire karma of Yuming Abyss.

“Let’s go.”

Han Muye glanced around and then moved forward.

As he walked, a faint flowing light began to emerge from him.

Within that flowing light, a faint sound of sword chanting could be heard.

A streak of sword light shot out from Han Muye’s hand, turning into a cold and sharp sword.

“Buzz——”

The misty haze that had seemed illusory in front suddenly tore apart.

A lengthy path appeared ahead.

“This is the legacy of the Yuming Sword Sect!” Xu Fengran exclaimed in a low voice.

Only the legacy of the Yuming Sword Sect could trigger such changes in the surrounding heaven and earth.

Han Muye stepped onto the path, the sword light swaying in his hand.

The sword light paced fast or slow according to his will, causing the surrounding power of heaven and earth to tremble with its flashing or lasting gleams.

“Yuming Thirteen Swords…” Xu Zhichu murmured softly.

The Yuming Thirteen Swords were fabled to be sword techniques almost as strong as the inheritance of the All-Encompassing Sword Sect, and by mastering the tenth sword, one could cleave open heaven and earth, condensing their own Qiankun World.

As for the last three swords, only those with truly strong talent in the Sword Dao could comprehend them.

“Buzz——”

The sword light in Han Muye’s hand turned into a sword and slashed down in front of him.

The mist and the end of the path in front, like a waterfall being cut apart, revealed a gateway.

An overwhelming and vast presence burst forth instantly.

Suppressive roars emitted from that gateway, sending chills down one’s spine.

“One Sword Opens the Heavens, how strong is master’s Sword Dao Strength?” Xu Fengran watched the gateway in front of him, clenching his fists.

On the other side, all the cultivators who had reached the Dao Breaking Realm were stunned by this sword.

Such sword light could definitely not be emitted by someone in the Dao Realm.

Could it be that their acting sect master was also in the Prime Origin Realm?

Are there two Prime Origin Realm experts in the All-Encompassing Sword Sect?

“Sect master, this sword is…” Xu Zhi whispered in a low voice, cautiously asking.

Han Muye turned to look at him and said indifferently, “The tenth sword.”

The tenth sword of the Yuming Thirteen Swords.

The one that could condense one’s own Qiankun World!

Xu Zhi stood there stunned.

Han Muye’s cultivation abilities weren’t as he thought in the Prime Origin Realm.

It was, instead, the Qiankun Realm!

Han Muye scanned his surroundings and stepped into the gateway.

In front of him, ten three-zhang tall (approximately 10 meters) mutated beasts charged towards him.
