Elder Yun Yuan nodded and was about to turn away.

His steps suddenly paused.

"I say, aren’t you even going to take a glance at the contents of the Sword Token?" Elder Yun Yuan suddenly said.

"No need to look." Xiao Yi chuckled, jokingly, "Since Senior Yun Yuan personally delivered the Sword Token, if there were any important points, he would definitely inform me."

"The fact that Senior Yun Yuan didn’t specifically point out anything proves there’s no significant issue."

"I’ll check the time later and make sure to arrive promptly."

"You kid," Elder Yun Yuan glared at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi smiled faintly.

Elder Yun Yuan said irritably, "Forget it, I’ll explain it to you."

"This grand event of the Sword Domain is in about four months’ time."

"Including travel time, you should set out in two months."

"In two months?" Xiao Yi slightly furrowed his brow, wouldn’t that mean setting out two months early?

This would disrupt his training plans.

Elder Yun Yuan said irritably, "What do you think your current strength is?"

"And just how far did you think the Sword Domain is from here?"

"If I were to travel at full speed, I’d get there in about ten days."

"But you, you can’t make it there in less than two months."

"Is it possible not to go?" Xiao Yi suddenly asked.

"What do you think?" Elder Yun Yuan glared at Xiao Yi, saying, "If you don’t go, no one will force you."

"But if you miss this grand event, you’d be a fool."

"Are there many benefits?" Xiao Yi pursued the question.

Elder Yun Yuan emphasized, "Anyway, it’s much better than ten or twenty years of training."

"Will there be a need to fight?" Xiao Yi continued to ask.

"This..." Elder Yun Yuan thought for a moment, "Normally, no."

"And if it’s not normal?" Xiao Yi’s face twitched.

"That’s hard to say; you’ll understand once you go there," Elder Yun Yuan replied solemnly.

"Also, I advise you that the Sword Domain event is held once every few decades. If you miss it, you’ll have to wait another few decades for the opportunity."

"Going to the Sword Domain, with your talent, you will surely find great opportunities."

"It happens to prepare you for entering the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb a year from now."

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brow, "Senior Yun Yuan knows I have a spot?"

"Of course." Elder Yun Yuan nodded.

"Did Senior Yun Yuan investigate me?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brow again.

"Not at all." Elder Yun Yuan shook his head, "But I guessed correctly."

"Guessed?" Xiao Yi was taken aback.

Elder Yun Yuan chuckled lightly, "The Ancient Eight Halls already have spots allocated, everyone knows this."

"You hold the title of Double Hall Deputy Master of Wind Shattering Hall and Asura Hall and are also a young Heavenly Talent."

"Given your prowess, unless those two Masters of the Main Halls are blind, they would definitely give you the spot."

"Er." Xiao Yi awkwardly touched his nose.

Elder Yun Yuan continued, "In any case, I know you have the spot."

"The Sword Domain is merely a grand event for all the continent’s Sword Cultivators, you should participate."

"But the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb is no ordinary place."

"If you’re not strong enough, it means almost certain death."

Xiao Yi contemplated for a moment, "Senior Yun Yuan has also entered the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb?"

"Yes." Elder Yun Yuan nodded, "Many years ago, ah... how many? I forgot. Back then, I was just starting to make a name, not much older than you."

"If you’re just holding the spot, entering the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb to gain some insights and coming out, there won’t be much danger."

"But if you wish to obtain opportunities inside, you will need strength."

"Especially if you wish to take the lead as the Breaker..."

Elder Yun Yuan’s expression suddenly grew stern, "With your current strength going there is nothing short of seeking death."

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi’s expression showed surprise.

To prompt Elder Yun Yuan to say such things, the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb must indeed be extraordinary.

"What level was your cultivation when you entered the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb?" Xiao Yi pursued the question.

"Saint Emperor Realm Eighth Layer." Elder Yun Yuan said solemnly, "I entered the lead and only lasted 10 minutes."

"When I came out, I was barely alive."

"Hiss." Xiao Yi drew a sharp breath.

Elder Yun Yuan back then had already reached the Saint Emperor Realm Eighth Layer at an age not much older than his own?

With such cultivation, he only lasted 10 minutes when taking the lead, barely surviving?

This was merely cultivation.

Young Elder Yun Yuan must have also been a supreme prodigy then.

With such cultivation, his strength must have been formidable.

Yet still... 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Hmmph." Elder Yun Yuan snorted coldly, "Why do you think the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb has existed for countless years, yet no one has ever broken through it?"

"I even suspect that the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb only allows young martial artists to enter, but its standards are set according to the supreme prodigies of Ancient Times."

"And even those prodigies of Ancient Times have little chance of breaking through."

"Let alone today’s supreme prodigies."

Elder Yun Yuan looked seriously at Xiao Yi, "You need to consider this matter thoroughly."

"If you really intend to break through, you must be prepared."

"Even with Senior Luoo’s confidence in Mo Youu, he isn’t certain Mo Youu can break through alone; instead, he lets the Heavenly Talents of Heavenly Hidden Academy assist."

"Yet now you are all alone, which makes it even more difficult."

"Mo Youu?" Xiao Yi smiled lightly, his smile slightly complex.

"By the way, how is the Academy now?"

"How?" Elder Yun Yuan replied solemnly, "You really want to know how Qing Lin is, right?"

"They’re doing well."

"Qing Lin is much less reckless now, spending his days in diligent cultivation."

"As for Mo Youu, Senior Luoo is already preparing to awaken his Martial Soul for the second time."

"This year, Senior Luoo will boost Mo Youu’s strength to the fullest."

"And you..."

Elder Yun Yuan’s tone carried an inexplicable concern.

"I’m fine." Xiao Yi smiled faintly but said no more.

"Very well." Elder Yun Yuan nodded, "You always have your plans, so I won’t nag you further."

"Remember, two months from now, set off for the Sword Domain at once."

"Alright." Xiao Yi nodded.

Elder Yun Yuan’s figure flickered and instantly vanished on the spot.

In just moments, he was gone far away.

Xiao Yi took out the Sword Token again and glanced at it.

The grand event of the Sword Domain starts in four months.

Although it disrupts his training plans somewhat, since Elder Yun Yuan specially delivered the Sword Token and emphatically instructed him to attend, he’d better attend.

As for entering the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb a year later...

Xiao Yi’s brow suddenly furrowed tightly.

When Elder Yun Yuan spoke of the Sword Domain event, it was with ease.

It seems it’s really just a grand event among Sword Cultivators, just to participate.

But when mentioning the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb, his demeanor was extremely grave.

It’s not hard to imagine that the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb isn’t as simple as it seems.

However, fortunately, there is still a year left for preparation.

"One year." Xiao Yi muttered to himself.

"Looks like the pace of training needs to speed up."

With that, Xiao Yi’s figure flickered and instantly disappeared from the spot.

...

Third update.
