Chapter 578: Chapter 579 Sky-reaching Sword Qi (1st Update)

The Six Paths Demonic Sect was indeed an extremely ancient sect.

Compared to the Nine Demons City, it was even older, but according to the records, the Six Paths Demonic Sect had long been destroyed.

Unexpectedly today, one could still encounter someone from the Six Paths Demonic Sect.

"How is it, Young Master Chu, you seem to have some interest in Miss Luo Xi?"

Observing Chu Fengmian’s gaze, Elder Li’s expression grew much graver as he spoke seriously.

"This Miss Luo Xi is not just anyone, if Young Master Chu has any thoughts about her, you’d better dismiss them."

Chu Fengmian looked at Elder Li and replied with a light laugh,

"How so? Does this Miss Luo Xi have an extraordinary identity?"

"Miss Luo Xi holds an extremely high status within the Sky-reaching Pavilion, so Young Master Chu would do well not to entertain any ideas about her."

Elder Li warned.

"Otherwise, you would only court disaster."

"Disaster? I, Chu, have roamed through life and have never once feared any disaster."

Chu Fengmian laughed heartily as he spoke.

"There’s no need for Elder Li to worry. I am merely curious about Miss Luo Xi, nothing more."

"I hope so," sighed Elder Li with a wry smile.

These young people, especially those with a bit of strength, never seem indifferent after laying eyes on Luo Xi.

If not for Elder Li’s advanced years, he too might have been charmed by Luo Xi.

As they conversed, the auction stage had already begun to auction the second item.

This second treasure was a giant axe Spiritual Artifact, a mid-rank Earth-level Spiritual Artifact. Although not of high grade, it was nevertheless ancient, the countless inscriptions upon it surpassing those of the current era.

Its power was far greater than that of modern upper-rank Earth-level Spiritual Artifacts, making it a rare piece indeed.

However, for Chu Fengmian, such an item held no significance.

He possessed the Ancestor Dragon Supreme Sword, the Cornucopia Stele, and the Emperor’s Jar; he might not even spare a glance for ordinary Heavenly-level Spiritual Artifacts.

Let alone this mere Earth-level Spiritual Artifact.

The same went for Bai Xuan.

In the Ancient Dragon Emperor’s grotto-heaven, Bai Xuan fortuitously obtained an upper-rank Earth-level Spirit Sword, and she was, after all, a Sword Cultivator.

With her current strength far exceeding her past before arriving at the Sea of Void, returning to Beimang Academy as a Core Disciple was practically a certainty.

The third, fourth, fifth treasures...

One after another, treasures were presented for auction, not just Spiritual Artifacts, but also many peculiar substances from the heavens, special materials, and even ancient Cultivation Techniques.

None of these items was of much use to Chu Fengmian, so he did not bid on any of them.

Chu Fengmian understood that the items currently up for auction were all common.

The truly valuable treasures would likely be auctioned last.

Yet even these common items were priceless treasures outside, entirely unobtainable.

"The twelfth treasure, Sky-reaching Sword Qi!"

Ling Zun, the True Person, announced – a maidservant stepped forward, holding a transparent crystal.

Within this clear crystal, one could vaguely see three strands of Sword Qi, each incredibly sharp.

Even through the crystal, Chu Fengmian could feel the intensity of the Sword Qi.

"This is at least from a being who transcended the Realm of Life and Death," he noted to himself.

Chu Fengmian saw the Sky-reaching Sword Qi and murmured to himself in a low voice,

"Sky-reaching Sword Qi? Even this thing has been brought out at the Tian Pavilion auction."

The Elders sitting in the group all seemed taken aback and exclaimed aloud,

"This is the Sword Qi left behind by the once strongest individual in Tian Pavilion, the Sky-reaching Sword Venerable. It is said to contain the True Understanding of the Sky-reaching Sword Venerable’s Sword Dao. Whoever obtains it might be able to comprehend the Sword Dao of the Sky-reaching Sword Venerable."

Chu Fengmian thought to himself,

"Comprehend the Sword Dao of the Sky-reaching Sword Venerable? That is far from easy. Just with this Sword Qi, if someone is able to comprehend the Sword Dao, that person must at least be a peak expert in the Sword Dao to manage it."

"Such an expert’s strength wouldn’t be beneath that of the Sky-reaching Sword Venerable at all, and it’s simply not likely that they would waste such a huge cost to understand someone else’s Sword Dao."

However, although one can’t comprehend the Sword Dao of the Sky-reaching Sword Venerable, if a Sword Cultivator gets it and integrates it into their own Sword Dao, it’s equivalent to receiving guidance from a predecessor, and that is of great use.

This Sky-reaching Sword Qi is useless to Chu Fengmian. Chu Fengmian’s Sword Dao must transcend that of the Sky-reaching Sword Venerable, so Sky-reaching Sword Qi is of no use to him.

But for those at the Divine Power realm or even the Life and Death realm of Sword Cultivators, this Sky-reaching Sword Qi is an immense treasure.

Sky-reaching Sword Qi!

Sitting next to Chu Fengmian, Bai Xuan’s eyes widened to the size of beans, filled with envy and yearning, at the sight of this Sky-reaching Sword Qi.

The swordsmanship Bai Xuan cultivated was different from Chu Fengmian’s. It was a kind of Wan Jian Jue, which involves collecting ten thousand swords from all over the world to achieve great success in the art.

The Sword Qi of such a supreme expert like the Sky-reaching Sword Qi was exactly the supplement she needed.

"Sister Bai Xuan, do you want this Sky-reaching Sword Qi?"

Chu Fengmian looked into Bai Xuan’s eyes and said with a smile,

"If Sister Bai Xuan wants it, how about I bid for it for you?"

"This, you’ve already spent so much wealth just now to buy the Jianmu Branches. If you bid for this Sky-reaching Sword Qi, wouldn’t the loss be too great?"

Upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s words, Bai Xuan was initially delighted, but then her eyes dimmed considerably.

This Sky-reaching Sword Qi was certainly not cheap, enough to provoke countless Sword Cultivators present to vie for it, highly valued.

Although Bai Xuan wanted to buy the Sky-reaching Sword Qi, with her wealth, she was far from being able to afford it.

"No matter, the wealth spent on the Jianmu Branches is but a drop in the bucket. If Sister Bai Xuan needs it, I will bid for it. It can also be considered repayment for the ten thousand Merit Points owed to Sister Bai Xuan."

Chu Fengmian looked at Bai Xuan and said with a smile, as the wealth needed to buy this Sky-reaching Sword Qi was far from significant to him.

"The twelfth auction item, Sky-reaching Sword Qi, starting bid, ten thousand Spirit Stones!"

Lingzun Zhenren on the stand shouted out loud.

"Twenty thousand Spirit Stones!"

"Thirty thousand Spirit Stones!"

"Fifty thousand Spirit Stones!"

"One hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"

Countless Sword Cultivators below bid one after another, and the price soared continuously.

This Sky-reaching Sword Qi, more useful than many other extraordinary heavenly treasures for the Sword Cultivators, sparked fervent bidding.

"Two hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"

In the midst of this flurry of bids, a figure suddenly emerged, bringing a sudden silence to the assembly.

This voice, it came from box number ten, a disciple of the Ancient Desolate Sect, Gu Lin’s voice.

"Damn, another Ancient Desolate Sect member!"

"This person has been vying for countless treasures already, and now he’s competing for this Sky-reaching Sword Qi too."

"It’s a pity we can’t compete with this person; the Ancient Desolate Sect is a massive force. To go against the seven major sects is simply seeking death!"

The numerous Sword Cultivators below were indignant, yet no one dared to make another bid.
