Chapter 629: Chapter 273: Unprecedented Prosperity in the Divine Sword Sect’s Domain, Endless Cultivators’ Assertions
"Aooo—!!!"
On the summit of the endless vast mountains and rivers, a colossal creature tore through the void, traversing the infinite territory towards the Hundred Broken Mountain Range.
At this moment, the Hundred Broken Mountain Range had also completely boiled over.
Now it’s the depths of winter, the entire Hundred Broken Mountain Range is covered in heavy snow, dressed in silver, as white as can be.
Within the Wang Yang region of the Divine Sword Sect, countless cultivators were slowly moving from all directions, uncountable in number.
The land once belonging to a single sect is now a sea of people, unprecedentedly prosperous. The entire region of the Divine Sword Sect has gathered countless cultivators; uncountable strong ones thronging from all around, seemingly all wanting to witness the fall of the Sword Saint—such a grand spectacle.
"The First Generation Sword Saint, it seems this time he’s truly going to fall. I’ve lived so many years, yet never seen such a grand occasion in the Hundred Broken Mountain Range."
Numerous cultivators looked at the overwhelming army of cultivators gathering towards the Divine Sword Sect, unable to resist their emotions and awe.
Within the control range of the Divine Sword Sect, cultivator armies slowly marched everywhere, this had been the rarest event in the Hundred Broken Mountain Range region for centuries. Yet unlike the past, this time the gathering wasn’t for a world-shaking event, but to witness the fall of the First Generation Sword Saint.
The Sword Saint of the Hundred Broken Mountain Range, the pinnacle of several eras of Sword Dao. Many may never have the chance in their lifetime to see the Sword Saint in person, but today, they could witness the decline of the First Generation Sword Saint.
Moreover, they might see numerous contemporary giants; within the cultivation realm of the Hundred Broken Mountain Range, this is an unparalleled event desirable yet hard to come by. Countless strong ones crossed mountains and rivers, drawn by reputation, just to catch a glimpse of the Saint’s style.
"I heard almost all the Sword Saint’s archenemies gathered outside the Divine Sword Sect already and have completely surrounded it. What kind of people do you think were Sword Saint’s great foes back in the day?"
"Rubbish, those who could be enemies of the First Generation Sword Saint, how could they be ordinary?"
"It’s said that years ago, countless strong ones in the Entering the Saint Realm had gathered outside the Divine Sword Sect, even several Giant Level figures appeared. Some ancient giants personally rushed there; if one could see so many world-shaking figures in one’s lifetime, it would be worthwhile."
Countless cultivators hadn’t yet reached the Divine Sword Sect’s territory, but they were already boiling with excitement.
Indeed, not every cultivator had the chance to see those Giant Level figures, let alone the giants; even those Divine Sect cultivators above the Self-Slaying Realm were beings ordinary cultivators might never see throughout their lives.
But now, due to the Endless Saint Realm’s siege of the Divine Sword Sect, ordinary cultivators could pass unimpeded. Upon arriving there, they would witness countless astonishing talents and numerous terrifying giants famed across the Hundred Broken Mountain Range region.
The fall of the Sword Saint is an event of the highest magnitude in the Hundred Broken Mountain Range region. Even Saints who hadn’t been enemies of the Sword Saint would mostly appear to witness the end of a legendary era.
It’s fair to say that the current region of the Divine Sword Sect could compare to an epic event in the Hundred Broken Mountain Range cultivation realm. Such a grand event may not be seen even once in a millennium but attracted countless regional cultivators to vie for attendance.
Mentioning Sword Saint Dugu Nan, many cultivators naturally think of the Sword Saint’s successor. Consequently, Ye Xiaofan has also become a hot topic of discussion throughout the Hundred Broken Mountain Range.
"I heard seven years ago, the Sword Saint accepted a disciple; it’s said he was sent to the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’ five years ago. Have any of you heard of this?"
A lowly cultivator from the Hundred Broken Mountain Range couldn’t help but ask, the journey to the Divine Sword Sect was long, many began gossiping out of boredom.
If one were to name the most talked-about topic in the Hundred Broken Mountain Range region today, without a doubt, it would be the Sword Saint’s fall. Any topic related to the Sword Saint is lively and bustling.
Someone showed interest upon hearing the question, akin to being infused with adrenaline, they began passionately talking.
"I’ve also heard of it, seems like seven years ago, the Sword Saint did accept a disciple, what was his name again."
"Seems like his name is Ye Xiaofan, this person’s reputation between the Hundred Sects is already widely known."
"Ye Xiaofan? What background does he have to become the Sword Saint’s successor?"
"Fellow cultivator, you’ve stumped me. I’m embarrassed; I come from a remote place with information cut off. I don’t know much about the Sword Saint’s successor, even the fact Sword Saint had a successor is news I just heard along the way."
"I’m familiar with this, although I don’t know much about other things, I did hear some reliable sources about Ye Xiaofan’s background."
"Oh? Fellow, please tell me, what’s this person’s background?"
"There isn’t really much background; from what I understand, he seems to be a descendant from the Ten Cities region, from a remote village. If what I heard is true, when Sword Saint took him as a disciple, it stirred quite a controversy."
"Why would that be?"
"Rumor has it that Ye Xiaofan awakened with a Plant Martial Soul below Level One."
"Tsk—Below Level One?"
Clearly, not all cultivators in the Hundred Broken Mountain Range region are familiar with the deeds of the Sword Saint’s successor; the world is vast, even within the same cultivation realm, they exist at different levels, and the channels through which they receive information vary, with not a few being cut off from news.
