Chapter 470: Chapter 239: Boundless Sword Comprehension at Wujian Mountain, Five Elements Sword Qi Origin Marrow
Although not many in number, the strong cultivators born within the Little Five Elements Sword Sect are not few. Rumor has it that there are still Core Formation stage experts who remain in long seclusion, and there are more than a dozen Purple Mansion Cultivators, making it one of the leading sects on the side of the Righteous Dao.
Moreover, the Sword Dao is one of the most powerful offensive techniques, enough to crush other cultivators of the same rank. With a single flying sword, one could destroy heaven and earth, leaving few cultivators daring to challenge a Sword Cultivator expert.
Speaking of which, Zheng Yi has some connection with the Little Five Elements Sword Sect.
Back then, he discovered a Human Pig in the underground chamber of the Qi Family’s ancestral hall, who was a direct disciple of the Little Five Elements Sword Sect and seemed to hold a high position as a successor of a Purple Mansion Cultivator.
Unfortunately, he encountered the wrong people, was betrayed by the Qi Family Main Lineage, and ended up in a state of neither human nor ghost. It wasn’t until he met Zheng Yi that he found relief.
Of course, Zheng Yi also gained three parts of the Sword Dao Secret Scripture in return, balancing out the favor, with no further entanglements.
This time, he came specifically with another goal in mind.
...
The Sword Comprehension Cliff of the Heavens is a cliff near the coast of the Inner Sea.
One side of the cliff looks as if it was sliced cleanly by a sharp sword, leaving behind a towering and steep cliff face, plunging down almost at a 180-degree angle.
Below, the waves crash against the base of the cliff, rising high, splashing onto the rock face, making it extremely perilous to look down.
This place, though far from the Little Five Elements Sword Sect, is under its control because it hosts a large Five Elements Sword Qi Stone mine.
This cliff has long been assimilated by the Sword Qi Stone mine, with sharp sword qi continuously surging in the surrounding air. Cultivators who specialize in the Sword Dao choose to meditate here to better comprehend the Five Elements Sword Qi, making it an excellent place for sword cultivation.
Due to the significance of the Sword Comprehension Cliff of the Heavens, even though it’s far from the sect’s mountain gate, the leader of this Sword Dao Sect has still appointed a Purple Mansion Cultivator to sit in residence.
Thus, it has become an important base for long-term cultivation for the Little Five Elements Sword Sect’s members.
...
On this day, dark clouds rolled in, and wind and rain collide.
The sea surface constantly raised high waves, crashing towards the cliffs, and the weather was extremely harsh.
In the distance, a figure emerged from the dark clouds, resembling an exile, walking seemingly at an unhurried pace towards the cliffs.
Where he passed, the wind and clouds dispersed, and the surging waves seemed to avoid the area around him.
Though his steps seemed slow, his speed was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, the figure was already atop the Sword Comprehension Cliff of the Heavens.
"Such powerful sword qi?!"
"This surely is an ideal place for cultivation by ancient Sword Dao hermits..."
With a step down, Zheng Yi showed a hint of surprise on his face as he clearly felt the earth beneath him, with sword qi coursing like a spider web, almost forming a three-dimensional matrix, surging outwards, like waves of the sea, continuously gathering and rolling.
Influenced by Zheng Yi’s own aura, layer upon layer, they swarmed towards him, like tangible Sword Qi, continuously flying by in the wind and rain.
With his immense Soul Power, he could clearly perceive within the range of his Divine Soul numerous flying swords that seemed to exist in reality, constantly moving and weaving through the air, each sending forth a cutting breath.
As someone with some talent in the Sword Dao himself, Zheng Yi could more clearly feel the magical nature of this place known as a Sword Dao cultivation treasure land, the Sword Comprehension Cliff of the Heavens. His face broke into a satisfied smile.
"Indeed, it’s a secret land of the Sword Dao!"
"Furthermore, the Five Elements Sword Qi Stone is said to capture the creation of Five Elements, gestate the essence of the profound mysteries of Sword Qi, and is reportedly the foundational bedrock of this Sword Comprehension Cliff of the Heavens..."
Zheng Yi himself has the Small Five Elements Yin Yang Dao Embryo, and recently the Yin Yang Qi has completely refined the Fallen Soul Treasure Mirror, transforming it into his life-bound possession, the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror.
The Yin Yang Soul-Lost Treasure Mirror floated in his sea of consciousness, the two colors of Yin and Yang sketched across the mirror’s surface, as if a Yin Yang Fish spiraled around it, manifesting its own mysteries.
An even purer Divine Soul Power constantly overflowed within his sea of consciousness, replenishing his life-bound sea.
Previously, Zheng Yi had a fierce battle with the Qin Family over the Bai Yi Jade Sword Stone Ore, which also resulted in a vendetta with the Golden Palace Sect and ultimately led to the nurturing of the Supreme Magical Artifact, the Immortal-Slaying Godslaying Gourd.
But now, the grade of Bai Yi Sword Qi Stone is too low for him, becoming completely useless.
What Zheng Yi needs is a purer Sword Qi Stone for cultivation, and he plans to use the Five Elements Body within the Small Five Elements Yin Yang Dao Embryo to condense the Five Elements Sword Qi Origin.
To lay a foundation for his further plans.
However, such extremely rare Sword Qi Stones seldom appear, and even when they do, they are protected by major sects and not easily accessible.
Zheng Yi does not have the time to search endlessly for those Sword Qi Stones, so all he can do is go to directly seize those that already exist.
Thus, his sights were set on the Sword Comprehension Cliff of the Heavens owned by the Little Five Elements Sword Sect, beneath which lies the Five Elements Sword Qi Stone, most fitting for his Small Five Elements Body, and necessary for Zheng Yi to gather the Five Elements Sword Qi Origin.
It is said that three hundred years ago, this place wasn’t the territory of the Little Five Elements Sword Sect but belonged to another small Sword Dao sect.
Later, on a stormy and rainy night, this Sword Dao sect was inexplicably wiped out.
The Little Five Elements Sword Sect subsequently claimed that this sect originally descended from their own, thus naturally receiving and completely occupying its resources and renaming the place to Sword Comprehension Cliff of the Heavens.
