Chapter 354: The Cave of Ten Thousand Swords

Jiang Yun was unaware of the conversation between his master and the sect master. After leaving Hidden Peak, he rushed towards Fence Tao Peak.

Because the sect is currently in a state of being closed, he didn’t encounter any disciples along the way.

Just moments later, he stood in front of Fence Tao Peak. Looking up, the first thing he saw was not Fence Tao Peak, but the Book Storage Pavilion.

The Book Storage Pavilion at this moment still only had seven levels.

If no one had seen it with their own eyes at the beginning, perhaps no one would believe that above the seven layers, there is also an elusive eighth layer.

As the usually bustling Book Storage Pavilion of the sect, although there were not as many people coming and going as before, you could still see a few disciples entering and leaving.

However, none of these disciples paid much attention to Jiang Yun’s appearance.

Jiang Yun naturally didn’t bother them but instead looked at the empty space in front of the Book Storage Pavilion.

It was there that he met Lu Xiaoyu.

And it was also there that the enmity between himself and Fang Yuxuan began.

Only then did Jiang Yun shift his gaze away from the Book Storage Pavilion and look towards Fence Tao Peak.

The entire mountain peak was like a sharp sword, emitting a strong pressure and an incredibly sharp aura.

In fact, within Fence Tao Peak was indeed hidden a Chop-Sky Sword!

Starting halfway up the mountain, the mountain peak was surrounded by clouds and mist, making it impossible to see the top clearly with just your eyes. You could faintly see rainbow lights flashing within the clouds and mist.

This reminded Jiang Yun of the awe he felt when he first saw Fence Tao Peak, and he also felt envy towards the disciples who could fly with their swords.

At that time, his biggest wish was to enter the Blessed Land Realm.

Now, after more than three years, his wish has come true.

Looking away, Jiang Yun didn’t hesitate at all. He took big steps and finally set foot on the peak known as the Supreme Peak of Fence Tao Peak.

Just as Jiang Yun stepped onto Fence Tao Peak, a figure appeared in front of him. Jiang Yun recognized the person as an old acquaintance.

It was Xiao Yishu, the inner disciple who conducted the Three Trials when Jiang Yun first entered.

The image of Xiao Yishu standing in the air had a great impact on Jiang Yun when he first saw him.

Now, Xiao Yishu’s aura remained relatively unchanged.

Based on Jiang Yun’s judgment, the other person’s level should be around the same as his, about the third level of the Blessed Land!

Clearly, Xiao Yishu’s talent can only be considered average.

More than three years have passed with no progress in cultivation. It seems that reaching the Blessed Land Realm is his limit. It’s difficult for him to make further progress!

Even though they are at Fence Tao Peak, and Jiang Yun knows that Xiao Yishu, as a disciple of Fence Tao Peak, appearing at this moment must be under Fang Yuxuan’s orders, he still politely greets him saying, "Jiang Yun greets Martial Brother Xiao!"

Xiao Yishu is also gazing at Jiang Yun in a trance.

He vividly remembers that the young man in front of him, who has now shed his immature and green appearance, originally arrived at the Seeking-Tao Sect wearing a unique animal skin outfit.

Especially during the entry test of the Three Trials, not only did he fail all of them, but he performed extremely "outstanding," to the extent that everyone remembered him clearly.

Who would have thought that this little guy who no one had high hopes for in the beginning, after being brought to Hidden Peak by Dongfang Bo, is now at the same level as himself.

This inevitably made him feel a sense of change in the world.

Upon hearing Jiang Yun’s voice, Xiao Yishu finally came back to his senses. The words "Senior Brother" warmed his heart a little, and he softly nodded, saying, "Junior Brother Jiang, you’re here!"

Jiang Yun calmly asked, "Martial Brother Xiao, are you taking me to Sword Cave?"

"Yes, Junior Brother Jiang, actually, you shouldn’t have come…"

Xiao Yishu shook his head halfway through speaking, then said, "Follow me!"

It was clear that Xiao Yishu still had feelings for Jiang Yun and wanted to warn him not to come to Fence Tao Peak. However, he didn’t want to offend Fang Yuxuan, so he changed his words.

Jiang Yun didn’t say anything else and followed behind Xiao Yishu, slowly climbing up towards Fence Tao Peak along the mountain path.

Neither of them spoke along the way until they circled around and reached the cliff halfway up Fence Tao Peak. Xiao Yishu stopped his steps.

Pointing at the cliff in front of them, Xiao Yishu said to Jiang Yun, "Sword Cave is right beneath this cliff, enveloped by a formation. As you descend from here, there’ll be an entrance for you to enter!"

Jiang Yun once again cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Martial Brother Xiao!"

Xiao Yishu nodded, even though he wanted to say more, he remained silent and walked away.

Jiang Yun also walked to the edge of the cliff and looked out.

Even though they were only halfway up the mountain, Fence Tao Peak was extremely high, so this spot was at least four to five thousand meters above the ground.

Faintly visible, the bottom was completely surrounded by mist, impossible to see through, and Sword Cave was obviously within that fog.

Without entering the Blessed Land Realm and being able to fly, it was very difficult to reach Sword Cave.

After all, stepping into the abyss would lead to a direct fall, turning into mush.

After sizing it up for a moment, Jiang Yun no longer hesitated and took a step off the cliff, plummeting rapidly downwards like a stone.

Just as he was about to touch the rolling mist, Jiang Yun’s descent suddenly slowed, and he released his divine sense, scanning his surroundings.

With one sweep, he understood that the mist contained a barrier formation, just extremely complex, likely meant to conceal Sword Cave.

On normal days, the formation is closed, but now it is open, obviously to let himself enter Sword Cave.

"Fang Yuxuan, I’m here!"

Jiang Yun spoke loudly, sending his voice into the mist.

Immediately, he directly entered the mist, accompanied by flashing lights around him, his figure disappearing from the original spot.

"Hum!"

Just as Jiang Yun passed through this isolated formation, before he could see the surroundings clearly, a breaking sound came into his ears. With a flash of cold light in his eyes, he reached out and punched towards the direction of the sound.

"Clang!"

A crisp sound, like the clash of gold and iron, rang out. Jiang Yun finally saw that what attacked him was a sword energy, which he shattered with one punch.

Then, Jiang Yun looked around.

At a glance, his eyes suddenly shrank!

At this moment, what appeared before his eyes was a cave, with himself standing at the entrance of the cave.

Inside this not-so-small cave in front of him, there were countless different styles of swords standing upright, emitting a chilling cold light. At a rough glance, there were at least tens of thousands of them, stretching out like a sea of swords, to the point where you couldn’t see the end at a glance.

All of these swords were with the hilt down and the blade up, just like plants growing on the ground.

Although they were all motionless, Jiang Yun could clearly feel a sharp and chilling killing intent emanating from the blade of each sword.

In addition, since the cave had only one entrance, the intense killing intent did not dissipate, but instead gathered together, forming a strong sense of murderous intent!

It seemed that as long as someone dared to enter the cave, this killing intent would unhesitatingly strike them down.

"This is Sword Cave! The name is well-deserved!"

Just as Jiang Yun’s voice fell, Fang Yuxuan’s voice suddenly sounded, "Not only well-deserved, the real name of this Sword Cave is Ten Thousand Swords Cave. Jiang Yun, the great gift I prepared for you is inside. Why don’t you come in and take it!"
