Chapter 108: Attention

apons. These weapons can even increase the strength of those who wield them to a certain extent.Before Su Xin used those, they were ordinary longswords. They didn't help much with improving his skill;...After Xiao Chen left, Su Xin began to carefully examine the golden divine sword in his hand.

The sword was nearly four feet long with a very thin blade, just as sharp as his Qingwu Divine Sword. The hilt, including the body of the sword, was carved with dragon patterns, making it incredibly beautiful.

Su Xin immediately claimed ownership of the divine sword. Soon, a message came from within the golden divine sword, and Su Xin learned the name of the golden divine sword.

Sword name... Dragon's Roar!

This is a peerless divine sword, unparalleled in sharpness and adept at tearing and cutting!

"You have to find opportunities and try its power for yourself.

Su Xin chuckled lightly, didn't linger in this ruin for long, and left soon after.

……

The emergence of the Dragon's Roar God Sword caused quite a stir. The previous bursts of resounding sword cries continued to spread, attracting powerful figures who were roaming nearby.

At this moment, in one direction, a man and a woman are racing towards the place of birth.

If Su Xin were here, he would undoubtedly recognize at once that these two people were the Palace Master brother whom had invited him to join their team before, along with the red-clothed woman who was with him.

"Every clang of swords spread further and further, the commotion so great that it was very likely a top-grade treasure!" Both Palace Master and his disciple were quite expectant.

However, as the two of them walked halfway, they found that the sound of sword cries that had been constantly spreading ahead suddenly stopped.

"The clang of swords has ceased. Could it be that the treasure has already appeared, snatched away by someone else" the woman in red said.

"A step too late" Gong Chao frowned.

That's just the way it is. The Heavenly Water Secret Realm often produces all kinds of treasures, but whether you can ultimately obtain them depends not only on your strength but also on luck.

If you're lucky, the treasure will appear nearby. If you're the first to run over there, you might not even have to fight for it and could get the treasure easily.

But if one's luck is bad, like Gong Chao and the others now, although they heard the sword cry and knew there was a treasure born here, they were slightly too far from the place where it was born.

They rushed over as quickly as possible, but before they could reach the site of the treasure's emergence, it had already been taken by someone else.

Of course, they made a wasted trip.

...At that moment...

"Hmm"

Gong Chao and the woman in red suddenly noticed a figure dashing towards them from the front.

And judging by the direction, it was clearly looted from the birthplace of that treasure.

"It was him, Jianhou Xiao Chen!"

As the other person drew closer, Gong Chao immediately recognized them.

"Lord Sword Marquis, congratulations on acquiring another extraordinary treasure. From the commotion, it seems to be a top-tier mystical divine sword" Palace Morning laughed.

In his view, since the treasure that emitted a sword cry had been taken away, and Sword Marquis Xiao Chen happened to be rushing over from that direction, the secret treasure naturally fell into Xiao Chen's hands.

Hearing Palace Master's words, Jian Hou Xiao Chen, who was already incredibly angry and resentful in his heart, felt his anger surge even higher.

"Congratulations to me"

Xiao Chen gave Palace Chao and the other a cold glance.

"Get out!"

With a thunderous roar, Xiao Chen didn't draw his sword. He simply waved his hand, instantly condensing several streaks of sword intent in the void before him, covering Gong Chao and the woman in red.

The palace official's face changed, and he even reached out to block it.

Despite not being a match for Xiao Chen in terms of skill, he could easily deflect the sword intent that was merely casually condensed.

After dispelling the sword intent, Gong Chao discovered that Xiao Chen's figure had long since vanished.

"What's going on Why is Jian Hou so violent Could it be that he failed in the recent competition Did he not get the treasure that emitted sword cries"

The palace official and the red-clad woman beside him exchanged glances.

They had been wandering in this second-layer secret realm for so long and had also met Xiao Chen a few times. Although they weren't close, they were very clear about Xiao Chen's character. If there wasn't a certain interest at stake, Xiao Chen wouldn't just attack them casually.

Just as I arrived at the palace to offer congratulations, I was met with Xiao Chen's condensed sword intent...

It is obvious that Xiao Chen was very angry just now.

Why are you angry

That, of course, was from their failure in the recent treasure hunt.

"Come, let's go see the place where the treasure is born."

With curiosity, Gong Chao and the woman in red continued forward, soon arriving at the ruins where the Dragon Roaring Divine Sword had appeared.

As expected, there was just a major battle here.

Gong Chao looked around at the surrounding ruins. There were clear marks on them, indicating that someone had just fought a fierce battle here.

Based on the traces, it's easy to deduce that only two people were involved in the recent fight, and both were swordsmanship masters.

The sword mark left by one of them, domineering and majestic, was clearly the famous "Emperor Sword Technique" of Jian Hou Xiao Chen.

There is no doubt that Jian Hou Xiao Chen fought with the crowd here, but who was that other swordsman To actually fight head-on with Xiao Chen, and from Xiao Chen's just now enraged appearance, it seems he even lost the fight.

"Who could it be, with such skill, to defeat Xiao Chen in a one-on-one duel and seize the treasure of immortality"

Gong Chao and the woman in red were both shocked.

Jian Hou Xiao Chen, that was among the invincible cultivators of the Po Xu realm who had ventured into the Tianshui Secret Realm, could be ranked in the top ten.

Yet, he's still widely recognized as the strongest swordsman, but now he's being defeated by another powerful swordsman

In this world, there are countless powerful individuals. Although Jian Hou Xiao Chen was once considered the number one sword master in the Po Xu realm, in reality, within the jurisdiction of Jiu Sheng Mountain alone, there might be other Po Xu realm sword masters who surpass him.

Today, he ran into someone.

Gong Chao said in a low voice, "Since we are venturing into the second level of this secret realm, we need to be even more careful. If we encounter powerful individuals we don't know, we must be on guard. If we don't know an opponent's true strength, we should absolutely avoid fighting them."

"Hmm, the woman in red also focused on her head."

Soon, the two of them also left.

They, however, were unaware that the swordsman they suspected could directly defeat Jian Hou Xiao Chen and make him look bad was Su Xin, whom they had met not long ago and who had refused to join their team.

……

Tianshui Secret Realm, a paradise for martial artists of the Void Breaking realm.

There are a full five entrances.

Jiu Sheng Shan controlled its territory, with dozens of empires and countless warriors at the Broken Void Realm surging in and out, venturing into the Tian Shui Secret Realm to seek opportunities, treasures, and enhance their strength.

However, few people know that at the very center where the five entrances of Tianshui Secret Realm converge, atop a towering mountain peak, stands an ancient temple.

Within the vast palace halls, suspended are numerous mirrored paintings.

These mirror images originated from every corner of the first and second layers of the Heavenly Water Secret Realm. There were thousands upon thousands of such mirror images, and each one constantly changed its scenery.

In the center of the palace hall, there were three majestic thrones. On each throne sat a person.

These three people are three out of the six inspectors under the command of Mount Jiusheng, who specialize in searching for peerless geniuses!

The Inspector is a very unique position on Mount Jiusheng.

The outside world only knows that these six inspectors constantly travel throughout the domains of the Nine Holy Mountains, searching for and absorbing those extraordinary geniuses who are awe-inspiring.

Actually, these six inspectors, no matter how they rotate, there will always be at least three staying within this palace. What they focus on is the countless Void-Breaking Realm martial artists who are venturing within the Heavenly Water Secret Realm.

Even the entire Tianshui Secret Realm is under the control of Jiusheng Mountain. All kinds of treasures, secret treasures, and opportunities that appear in the Tianshui Secret Realm are also provided by Jiusheng Mountain. The purpose is to gather all the dozens of surrounding empires and countless cultivators at the Po Xu realm here.

Let them compete, let them fight. Only in this fierce struggle will their probability of breaking through to the Nirvana realm be higher.

Likewise, for the Profound Void Realm cultivators venturing within the Tianshui Secret Realm, if there were to emerge certain inconceivable prodigies, these three inspectors would also pay attention to them first.

For example, in the second-tier secret realm, Su Xin's battle with Jian Hou Xiao Chen was witnessed clearly by these three inspectors.

“A Void Core Stage cultivator actually directly suppressed Jian Hou Xiao Chen, who was among the top ten invincible cultivators in the Void Core Realm within the Heavenly Water Secret Realm. Although part of the reason was due to the Blood Cloud Killing Formation, it’s still inconceivable that they could achieve this!”

"The cultivation technique he practiced was extraordinary, with astonishing explosive power. He himself was also a bloodline awakener, his awakened bloodline was quite high, at least at the peak level of the second rank, I even suspect that he might have awakened a first-rank bloodline!"

“According to intel, he's only twenty-one this year. When he participated in the Tianyan Imperial Dynasty royal hunting ground, he had just grasped the essence of one sword intent, and it hasn't been more than a year since then. However, from his recent battle with Xiao Chen, it seems like he has comprehended between twenty-one and twenty-two sword intents.”

More than a year of time, he has comprehended the essence of sword intent as many as twenty kinds. This comprehension speed, including the combat power he is now displaying, has completely met the requirements for Jiusheng Mountain to absorb him as a core member in advance.

Three inspectors gathered together and shared their opinions.

From the Heavenly Flame Dynasty, Su Xin's name was already on the inspection list of these six inspectors after he killed Nie Jiuyou.

His performance in the Tianshui Secret Realm has also made these inspectors quite satisfied.

“He can directly suppress Jian Hou Xiao Chen during the middle stage of Po Xu, and when his cultivation breaks through to the later stage of Po Xu, his combat power should be comparable to that of Yin Yue Hou. After he breaks through again to the peak of Po Xu...his combat power will definitely be at the Nirvana Realm level, and there is even a possibility of directly slaying a Nirvana Realm powerhouse!”

"Talent and potential, no problem at all. Next, it's all about his mindset."

Three inspectors conferred.

These inspectors, who admit super-talented individuals into Jiusheng Mountain's core layer, first look at the potential talent of each genius.

After their potential has reached the required level, they will still have to assess the mental state of this genius.

If one's conduct is too foolish and rash, their mind too fragile, easily disheartened by minor setbacks, or their nature too wicked and evil... then even with exceptional talents, they would be beyond the scope of what can be absorbed.

After all, the unparalleled geniuses who were absorbed into the core of Jiusheng Mountain in advance are eligible for a free inheritance opportunity. That inheritance opportunity is something that countless Nirvana Realm experts, including those at the pinnacle of the Nirvana Realm, desperately desire and scramble for. Naturally, it requires utmost care.

If opportunity gave this genius a chance, but due to obvious mental weaknesses, he fell prematurely, it would be a loss.

After much deliberation, the three inspectors reached a decision.

"Tell them to prepare a Tao Fruit."

Three days later, deploy in the target's 'Su Xin' area

One of the inspectors issued an order.

"Yes!"

A servant inside the hall took the order and immediately went to make preparations.
