Peerless Sovereign

Within the cave abode, along with a light hum, tens of thousands of sword lights, like an orderly battle formation, swiftly rushed forward.    

"Swish, swish, swish …"    

Streams of sword light flew through the air, seeming to be warriors charging into battle one after another.    

"Pfft!"    

As the sword beam descended, dust and gravel were sent flying into the air in an instant within the cave.    

"Ba Yunxiao!"    

The sword aura condensed like a thread, forming layers of clouds. In the center, there was a huge sword shadow that rose slowly, like a divine dragon that had just broken through the clouds. With just a slight movement, the boundless clouds seemed to be engulfed by it in an instant.    

Boom!    

The courtyard in the Ardent Grotto was instantly cut into two halves, and a crack several zhang wide appeared in the middle of it.    

"Phew …"    

Su Lie slowly let out a breath of air before withdrawing his sword and standing still. As he looked at the chaotic Infinity Cave, a trace of a smile appeared on his face.    

"In three months, I have finally successfully mastered these two moves."    

He held an ordinary longsword in his hand and was barely able to reach the third grade.    

Moreover, even though he had only infused a tiny bit of Yuan Power, the destructive power was already so astonishing.    

"Heaven Ranked Sword Technique is indeed extraordinary!"    

Su Lie nodded and smiled.    

He spent an entire four months before refining the hydrocarbon-phalanx armor, but after refining the hydrocarbon-phalanx armor, he did not come out. Instead, he continued to cultivate the Blue Edge Sword Art of the Chiyang in seclusion, and now, another three months had passed.    

The first two moves of the Blue Edge Sword Art of the Chiyang, one group attack was a scattered group attack technique, the other was a condensed attack technique, causing Su Lie to be extremely satisfied.    

However, he wouldn't be able to cultivate the next few moves. If he wanted to cultivate the third move, he would need to at least raise his cultivation to the seventh level of the True Divine Spirit Realm.    

With his current cultivation, just the first two moves should be enough for him. If he were to use the Kanni Sword and unleash his full strength, he was confident that he would be able to fight against a powerhouse of the ninth level of the True Divine Spirit Realm. If he added in the hydrocarbon-phalanx armor, Astral Battle Armor and Di Ji Five Cube Sword Art, even an expert of the Yuan Sect would be able to put up a fight.    

The Kanni Sword and Blue Edge Sword Art of the Chiyang made him extremely satisfied, and the hydrocarbon-phalanx armor did not disappoint him. After completely refining the hydrocarbon-phalanx armor, Su Lie had once tested out, that for any weapon under the Earth Stage, even if he used all his strength, he would not be able to leave any traces on the hydrocarbon-phalanx armor. As for the Earth Stage weapon, it was not on him, so he did not try it.    

If he did not use his full strength, he would not be able to injure the hydrocarbon-phalanx armor. Even if he used all his strength, he could only leave a few shallow cuts on the hydrocarbon-phalanx armor and it would not take long for the hydrocarbon-phalanx armor to automatically heal.    

"With my current strength, I should be qualified to go to the Sect's battlefield."    

He was dressed in a hydrocarbon-phalanx armor robe, holding a Kanni Sword in his hand, as he stood there meditating.    

The hydrocarbon-phalanx armor was pitch black in color and had perfect flowing patterns. It completely exposed Su Lie's slender body and did not have any feeling of swelling. There were blades on his shoulders, elbows, knees and heels, making him look even more ferocious and domineering.    

Within the Inner Sect, the truly strong warriors were all inside the sect's battlefield, moreover, that was the place where one could obtain achievement points the fastest, and also the most direct. Su Lie had already made up his mind long ago, once his strength was sufficient, he would rush to the sect's battlefield to participate, train himself, raise his cultivation while earning points at the same time.    

Now, his strength was sufficient. The time was ripe.    

"I'll rest for a while and recover my condition."    

Su Lie made a decision in his heart.    

After he stored the hydrocarbon-phalanx armor and its contents into his body, Su Lie slowly put them down. His consciousness also felt a little tired.    

He had been in seclusion in the Lie Wei Inn for close to a year now, refining Kanni Sword s, refining hydrocarbon-phalanx armor s, and cultivating the Green Edge Art of the Scarlet Sun. He did not stop and did not rest at all, and even with his current cultivation, he could not hold on much longer.    

"Let's get some sleep first!"    

Su Lie turned around and walked towards the pill cultivating room.    

It was unknown how long it had been since he had a real sleep. He had almost forgotten the feeling of sleeping.    

"Su Lie, Ye Han came over again. See you now?"    

At this moment, Tian Zi's voice resounded in his mind.    

"You're here again?"    

Su Lie emphasized the word 'again', and he was a little doubtful.    

"He's been here four times in the past month."    

Tian Zi said.    

"You've been here four times already?"    

Su Lie was a little surprised, "Could it be that he has some urgent matter with me? Why didn't you tell me earlier? "    

"Didn't you say you wouldn't meet anyone?"    

Tian Zi said snappily.    

Su Lie couldn't help but be at a loss for words. He then said, "Open the protective magical formation and let him in."    

After giving Tian Zi his instructions, Su Lie also walked out of the Fiery Gilt Steel Cave with large strides.    

Ye Han, Gu Yuankai, and Liu Xuanyue had all come over from Outer Sect with Su Lie. Since they had experienced hardships together when they were still weak, the weight they held in his heart was naturally different.    

"I wonder what urgent matter Ye Han has with me. Could it be that something happened to his cultivation and he needs my help?"    

Su Lie thought in his heart.    

The moment Su Lie walked out of the cave abode, he saw Ye Han passing through the protective magical formation and flying towards the cave abode.    

"Su Lie!"    

When Ye Han saw Su Lie's figure, his face revealed a happy expression. His figure flashed several times and arrived in front of the cave dwelling. "I thought that I would have to return without any success this time."    

Su Lie swept his gaze over Ye Han and could not help but smile.    

His cultivation had already reached the eighth level of Earth Origin Stage and was not weaker than the inner sect disciples. When the sect accepts disciples, he should be able to be promoted to an inner sect disciple.    

"I've been cultivating behind closed doors all this time. I wonder if you've been here before?"    

Su Lie shook his head and then said: "What urgent matter do you have to look for me? You even came all the way here."    

"It's not that I want to run, it's that I've sent you a message, you haven't replied to me at all."    

Ye Han was also a bit speechless.    

"You sent me a message?"    

Su Lie was slightly stunned. His consciousness sank into his dantian and entered his identity jade token. He realized that Ye Han had really sent him a message before. It was a lot of times, almost once a day.    

"Why didn't I notice it?"    

Su Lie had doubts in his heart, but he immediately guessed the general reason. "Tianzi, was it you who did this?"    

"Didn't you say that you wouldn't see anyone? I saw that you were wholeheartedly training, so I decided to help you along the way. No need to thank me."    

Tian Zi said slowly.    

"Thank you?"    

Su Lie's nose was about to turn crooked from anger.    

"Su Lie, what's wrong?"    

Ye Han saw Su Lie standing there in a daze. However, his expression quickly changed. He thought something had happened to Su Lie's body.    

"I'm fine!"    

Su Lie woke up from his stupor and then raised his head and said: "I had been training for the past few days and was afraid of being disturbed. I sealed my identity jade token, so I didn't receive your message. I just saw it."    

Ye Han glanced at Su Lie. He did not know what Su Lie was trying to do, but he did not mind.    

"It's rare to see you here, let's talk inside!"    

Su Lie extended his hand.    

Ye Han nodded. He followed behind Su Lie and walked into the cave. When he saw the mess in the cave, he was slightly stunned.    

"What did you do? Are you trying to turn the cave over?"    

Ye Han said speechlessly as he looked at the ground that was almost sliced off one layer and the crack that almost cut the entire cave.    

"Didn't I tell you? I'm cultivating."    

Su Lie smiled and led Ye Han into the pill refining room. The two of them randomly found a place to sit.    

"Why are you looking for me? Why are you in such a hurry?"    

Su Lie asked.    

Ye Han shook his head and said, "It's not my problem, it's yours!"    

"My business?"    

Su Lie was confused, "What's wrong with me?"    

"One month ago, the Great Spirit Imperial Family's disciple Jin Chong found me and told me to find a way to inform you. He found out a piece of news and it concerns your safety, so he told you to go to the Royal Courtyard to find him."    

Ye Han said.    

"Why are you looking for me so urgently for this?"    

Su Lie stared at Ye Han and could not help but shake his head slightly. At the same time, his heart felt moved.    

Just because it was related to him, Ye Han wasted his training time and came to find him time and time again. If it wasn't for his true friend, he definitely wouldn't have done this.    

"Don't be careless, the way Jin Chong spoke was extremely serious. It should be true."    

Ye Han said worriedly.    

Su Lie couldn't help but laugh, and said: "You've been tricked by him. Those royal disciples are the best at acting, and they are all uneasy and kind. I'm cultivating in the sect, what can threaten my safety?"    

"However, he said that he had information on him. This shouldn't be fake right?"    

Ye Han frowned and started to wonder if Jin Chong was up to something.    

"Don't worry about it anymore, I know what I'm doing."    

Su Lie said directly.    

"I don't know him at all, so why would he care so much about my safety? "If you can't contact me, why did you go through so much effort to find you?"    

Ye Han thought for a moment and nodded. "If you think about it carefully, it is indeed abnormal. Since that's the case, I will go back now."    

"It's rare to come here. You can stay here to cultivate for a period of time. Give me a few days, I have something for you."    

Su Lie said after pondering for a moment.    

What Ye Han cultivates should only be an Earth Ranked Technique, no matter how hard he tries, breaking through the Revealing Astral Realm will be his limit, and the more profound arts in the sect, he probably won't be able to exchange with it within a few years, and before long, his power will stagnate.    

Su Lie had obtained Qi Tianye's inheritance, but the Green Edge Codex was useless in his hands. He wanted to get it out and teach it to Ye Han.    

Qi Tianye had once asked him to teach the Green Edge Scripture and the Blue Edge Sword Art of the Chiyang to the Qi clansmen if he had the chance in the future, but hadn't asked him not to.    

"Is there something for me?"    

Ye Han was stunned.    

Su Lie could not help but smile and said, "Right, and it's good stuff. However, you still have to wait a few days patiently."
