Chapter 897: The True Swordsmen Guild
Translator: jinzeffect
“Let me go for another search.”
After leaving the Hundred Flower Valley, Li Fuchen contemplated before deciding to make another search for the Incantation Martial Emperor.
He had lived together with the Incantation Martial Emperor for a period of time and his spirit soul already remembered the Incantation Martial Emperor’s qi presence. As long as the Incantation Martial Emperor was within 100 million miles, Li Fuchen would certainly sense it. If it was within 500 million miles, there should be a vague feeling.
If Li Fuchen still didn’t succeed this time, he decided to enter the Curse Temple after becoming a heaven lord.
On the endless ocean, there was a sword light flying by. Its speed had already surpa.s.sed the speed of light.
Since the Skyline Sword Art reached top rate apex state, Li Fuchen was able to fly beyond the speed of light on the Deep Blue Plane.
Of course, as a saint lord, he could rip through the spatial zone and travel over hundreds of millions of miles in an instant. But ripping the spatial zone would need sword energy and it couldn’t last for long. Also, he was searching for someone and not trying to travel to a destination. There would be problems if he tried to search for someone while ripping through the spatial zone.
When pa.s.sing through the Four Way Continent, Li Fuchen paused for a moment.
Back then, the Four Way Continent had the Soul Valley and the owner of the Soul Valley was definitely a soul dao saint.
Li Fuchen guessed that this soul dao saint must have his body and saint spirit destroyed when battling with an enemy. Only his spirit soul escaped and because he was a soul dao saint, his spirit soul was able to continue existing.
“He ran rather quickly.”
Many years back, when Li Fuchen traveled to the Four Way Continent, the Soul Valley owner had already escaped. It was unknown if he recovered before he left.
With a flash of sword light, Li Fuchen put the Four Way Continent far behind him.
***
After a few months, Li Fuchen gave up.
With his speed, he had already searched through the entire Deep Blue Plane, but he couldn’t even sense any remaining qi presence from the Incantation Martial Emperor.
“I shall continue the search after becoming a heaven lord.” Li Fuchen then returned to the East Unicorn Continent.
…
The East Unicorn Continent also had a Swordsmen Guild now.
The entry requirements for the Swordsmen Guild here was much lower. Anyone that reached the Battle Spirit Realm could join.
Before the East Unicorn Continent upgraded to a high-cla.s.s continent, Reincarnation Realm was already the pinnacle. Right now, Battle Spirit Realm masters were everywhere and there were already some Primary Sea Realm monarchs.
On a tall mountain, Li Fuchen was drinking wine with the Deep Blue Sword Saint Lord.
“Sword Saint Lord, do you know that the Deep Blue Plane’s Swordsmen Guild is also just a branch guild?” The Deep Blue Sword Saint Lord put down the wine cup in his hand and said.
With Li Fuchen’s current strength, the Deep Blue Sword Saint Lord couldn’t possibly treat Li Fuchen as a mere main elder of the Deep Blue Plane’s Swordsmen Guild. In terms of strength, Li Fuchen was way beyond him.
Li Fuchen asked in return, “There is a Swordsmen Guild on the outside too?”
“That’s right.” The Deep Blue Sword Saint Lord nodded.
“The real Swordsmen Guild covers half the universe. Even the Crosswise River Star Domain’s Swordsmen Guild is only a branch too. According to the size, Swordsmen Guilds are separated into four cla.s.ses. Plane-cla.s.s Swordsmen Guild, star domain-cla.s.s Swordsmen Guild, galaxy-cla.s.s Swordsmen Guild and universe-cla.s.s Swordsmen Guild, which is also the real headquarters of the Swordsmen Guild. It is said that the Swordsmen Guild headquarters is a gathering for the sword dao heaven lords. That place is the true sword dao sacred land.”
The Deep Blue Sword Saint Lord was having imaginations of going there.
“Has the guildmaster visited a galaxy-cla.s.s Swordsmen Guild before?” Li Fuchen asked.
The Deep Blue Sword Saint Lord let out a bitter laugh, “A star domain only has one star domain-cla.s.s Swordsmen Guild. Each galaxy only has one galaxy-cla.s.s Swordsmen Guild too. There are too many star domains in a galaxy. In order to visit a galaxy-cla.s.s Swordsmen Guild, one would need to cross over multiple star domains. With my strength, I might perish before reaching there.”
It was extremely dangerous to cross over to other star domains. If saint lords were able to travel within star domains with ease, then only heaven lords were able to travel within galaxies and even the universe with ease.
“However, Sword Saint Lord, you will have the chance to visit a galaxy-cla.s.s Swordsmen Guild.” The Deep Blue Sword Saint Lord had great expectations of Li Fuchen. Li Fuchen was so young and already had the strength of a pinnacle saint lord. Such talent meant that Li Fuchen was definitely a universe-cla.s.s prodigy.
Li Fuchen laughed and started to ask the Deep Blue Sword Saint Lord about information on the Swordsmen Guild.
Li Fuchen found out that the Crosswise River Star Domain’s Swordsmen Guild had two heaven lords and they were the guildmaster and no.1 vice guildmaster. The guild master was called Sword Wind Heaven Lord, while the no.1 vice guildmaster was called White Rainbow Heaven Lord.
They might be regular heaven lords, but the Sword Wind Heaven Lord was considered to be formidable among the regular heaven lords.
The galaxy-cla.s.s Swordsmen Guild was truly incredible. The guildmaster was at least a city lord-level heaven lord or even a star domain-level heaven lord.
Star domain-level heaven lord was already the pinnacle of heaven lords. Even if there was a galaxy-level heaven lord, the strength difference wouldn’t be too drastic.
As for the universe’s Swordsmen Guild headquarters, it was said that a half-G.o.d was overseeing and there was more than one.
“Sword Saint Lord, you are already a pinnacle saint lord. If you join the Crosswise River Swordsmen Guild, you will be able to obtain the t.i.tle of a high-cla.s.s elder.”
The Deep Blue Sword Saint Lord was only a mid-cla.s.s elder of the Crosswise River Swordsmen Guild.
“Once the Deep Blue Plane is at peace, I will go there.”
The Swordsmen Guild was a gathering for swordsmen, Li Fuchen naturally wanted to take a look.
…
As the sword art reached top rate apex state, Li Fuchen was already prepared to push the Primary Extreme Sword Technique to 1st rate apex state.
Once the Primary Extreme Sword Technique reached 1st rate apex state, even if Li Fuchen didn’t use the Joint-Heaven Sword, he could also stand on the top of saint lords. He would be stronger than most pinnacle saint lords.
After all, his Skyline Sword Art was a superior top rate apex sword art.
“Cultivation technique is much harder to comprehend than martial arts.”
“Martial arts is the method to execute the mystical aspects, but cultivation techniques include how to complement oneself.”
“Normally speaking, most of the regular heaven lords’ cultivation techniques would be 1st rate apex state. Only those formidable regular heaven lords would be able to push their cultivation technique to top rate apex state.”
“Of course, there are always exceptions. Some saint lords would be able to reach top rate apex state for their cultivation techniques before comprehending a supreme martial art. It is probably due to the body const.i.tution. After all, there are many bodies that contain the mysteries of the universe.”
With Li Fuchen’s current status, all the sword dao manuals in the Swordsmen Guild had been opened for Li Fuchen for access. Even the supreme sword art, Unbounded Sword Art, was also free for Li Fuchen to read.
But the Unbounded Sword Art was a supreme sword art for a reason. If it was so easy to comprehend, it wouldn’t be called a supreme sword art.
As for now, Li Fuchen didn’t want to waste time comprehending the Unbounded Sword Art. It wasn’t possible to comprehend anything without thousands or tens of thousands of years.
Comparatively, it would be easier for Li Fuchen to create his own supreme sword art.
The Unbounded Sword Art was the sword dao of the Unbounded Doyen’s life. There would be certain unfamiliar areas when learning someone else’s sword dao. One’s own sword dao would have no unfamiliar areas and would be extremely compatible.
Generally, others’ sword daos should only be used as a reference and for inspirations.
As time elapsed, Li Fuchen’s Primary Extreme Sword Technique made significant progress.
However, it was mainly due to Li Fuchen’s heaven-defying perception and powerful spirit soul. All secrets of the body were unable to escape the scan of Li Fuchen’s spirit soul power.
