The moment Jiang Li stepped into the Sword Tomb, he felt the soaring, supreme sword intent contained within.
The surroundings were extremely desolate, with a low hum of sword cries.
Jiang Li's Desolate Ancient Sacred Body emanated brilliant golden light, and the **Xingchen Duanti Jue** (Star Forging Body Technique) was also slowly activated, resisting this boundless sword intent.
Number Seven Sword Tomb... Jiang Li's eyes narrowed slightly as he began to walk towards the depths of the tomb.
These sword tombs were all extremely far apart.
Each sword tomb contained a surging sword intent of a different nature.
Before long, Jiang Li arrived at the Number Seven Sword Tomb.
The Number Seven Sword Tomb was incredibly desolate, seemingly untouched by anyone for a very long time.
Besides the sword cries, a strong killing sword intent echoed all around.
Jiang Li directly entered the tomb, heading straight for Sword Pit Number 99.
Above Sword Pit Number 99 lay a broken ancient sword, exuding an immeasurably ancient aura.
Jiang Li took a deep breath, then took out the token given to him by Wang Jiuting and threw it directly into the sword pit.
The moment the token entered the pit, a flash of spiritual light erupted.
The light, of various colors, shone directly upon Jiang Li.
Jiang Li did not dodge, and was then enveloped by the spiritual light, disappearing from the sword tomb.
...
Jiang Li opened his eyes again and found himself in a vast plain.
Around the plain, extremely powerful sword intents crisscrossed.
Sharp whistling sounds and sonic booms reverberated in Jiang Li's ears.
"Swish, swish, swish!!!"
Before long, a great sword emanating a deep black light appeared in the sky.
The great sword floated in the sky, emitting an incredibly powerful, killing aura.
Jiang Li stared intently at the great sword in the sky; the sword intent emanating from it caused him to feel a slight stinging sensation.
It seemed this mysterious great sword was the ancient sword spirit.
Immediately after, Jiang Li took out his Scarlet Flame Dragon Soul Spear.
The Wind Flame Spiritual Fire surged around Jiang Li.
The great sword in the sky then shot towards Jiang Li like a cannonball.
Jiang Li employed the **Kunpeng Baoshu** (Kunpeng Treasure Technique) to continuously evade, while simultaneously wielding the **Lushen Qiangfa** (God Slaying Spear Technique). The overbearing Wind Flame Spiritual Fire coalesced into flowing light, bombarding the great sword.
The stream of异火 (otherworldly fire) struck the great sword, producing crisp clashing sounds.
The two forces collided, and the great sword's deep black light gradually dimmed.
The entire plain, under the onslaught of their battle, transformed from its originally flat and clean state into a landscape riddled with craters.
The roaring of flames and the sharp cries of sword energy intertwined.
This great sword moved like a living being, its speed astonishingly fast, and its attacks remarkably cunning.
Coupled with the extremely powerful killing intent seemingly attached to it.
With each collision, Jiang Li felt as if his mind was being impacted by something.
Were it not for Jiang Li mastering the **Tailing Jushen Jue** (Grand Spirit Gathering Divine Technique) and possessing the unparalleled physical body of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, anyone else at the ninth level of the Dan Yuan realm would likely have been annihilated in a single round.
This is good, it will temper my strength.
Jiang Li then no longer rushed, but instead unleashed powerful martial arts, continuously battling the great sword.
...
Tai Xuan Holy Land.
A simple and ancient room.
Within the room was a young man with profound eyes.
The room also contained numerous spirit stones.
These spirit stones were almost piled into small mountains within the room, emitting extremely dense spiritual energy.
The young man possessed a power that seemed to devour everything.
The surrounding spiritual energy was greedily absorbed into his body like a whale.
After a long while, the spiritual energy in the room was finally completely absorbed by the young man, and all the spirit stones turned to ash.
"This Tun Tian Shenti (Heaven Swallowing Divine Body) is truly domineering!" the young man couldn't help but exclaim.
In his previous life, when he broke through to the ninth level of the Dan Yuan realm, he had suffered countless hardships.
Now, with his reincarnation and the powerful Heaven Swallowing Divine Body, his advancement speed was flying.
"Luo Yan, Xu Feiyan, when I once again ascend to the peak, I will make you pay back a thousandfold for what you did to me in my past life!" the young man muttered, as if lost in thought, his killing intent almost solidifying.
And to those forces that attacked me, you will all await my wrath.
The young man was Ye Tian of the Tai Xuan Holy Land. After devouring everything of Yin Jiu He at the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect and breaking through to the ninth level of the Dan Yuan realm, he had directly returned to the Tai Xuan Holy Land to stabilize his cultivation.
Now, after absorbing so many spirit stones, his ninth level Dan Yuan realm had finally been thoroughly stabilized.
"Whoosh!!!"
Suddenly, a wisp of black smoke permeated the room, and then, a small, petite exotic beast slowly appeared.
"Nightmare, what have you investigated?" Ye Tian took a deep breath, suppressing his thoughts.
The exotic beast flew rapidly to Ye Tian's shoulder, like a pet.
"My Lord Demon Emperor, it has been thoroughly investigated. The exceptionally fast young man from the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect last time is Jiang Li, an inner disciple of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect!" The exotic beast actually spoke human language.
Clearly, it was an extremely rare and precious exotic beast.
"Another piece of news, My Lord Demon Emperor will surely be interested: that Jiang Li, less than a month ago, was merely a handyman disciple at the third level of Body Forging!" the exotic beast continued.
Ye Tian's brows furrowed. From the third level of Body Forging to this realm in less than a month.
This speed is too outrageous.
"Besides this, is there any other information?" Ye Tian asked.
If this Jiang Li's talent were truly this terrifying, then he would have to consider it carefully.
He wondered what fortuitous encounter he had obtained. If he could snatch that fortuitous encounter away.
However, his speed was too terrifying; even if he himself broke through to the Ling He realm, he would still be far inferior.
"There is nothing else, but it is said that he is highly regarded by the Holy Maiden of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect!" the exotic beast said solemnly.
Ye Tian's eyes narrowed. He had not seen that Holy Maiden when he was at the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect last time.
However, he assumed that a mere Holy Maiden of a second-rate force would not be very formidable.
"Weren't there rumors before that the Tai Xuan Holy Land intended to attack the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect? Are there no plans yet?" Ye Tian seemed to recall something.
If he could take advantage of the Tai Xuan Holy Land's annihilation of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect to capture Jiang Li, he might gain some unexpected benefits.
The exotic beast's eyes flickered with brilliance, and it continued, "The Yellow Springs Demonic Sect has the shadow of another Holy Land behind it, so the Tai Xuan Holy Land cannot act for now. However, in a month's time, they will send people to the White Bone Yin Sect, and by leveraging the White Bone Yin Sect's influence, they will decisively obliterate the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect!"
Cannot act personally?
Ye Tian did not care about these power struggles between Holy Lands. However, without others cooperating, it would be difficult for him to capture Jiang Li alive relying solely on himself.
After all, his strength had not fully recovered to the level of his previous life, and he could not contact many of his subordinates for the time being.
"Forget it, then I'll wait another month!" a cold glint flashed in Ye Tian's eyes, and he closed his eyes, beginning his cultivation.
