Chapter 3227: The Ten Progenies of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the Genius Secret Realm, apart from the Peaks of Gravity and the Worlds of Law, there were many different places that tested the young prodigies’ strength.
At this time, there were many young prodigies from grade-one forces who had performed exceptionally well in the tests. On the other hand, after Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er disappeared to cultivate, Huo Zi Long was the only gra.s.sroots prodigy who performed well in the tests.
In just a blink of an eye, six years had pa.s.sed since the Genius Secret Realm opened.
There were people who wondered where Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er went after leaving the World of Laws. The duo disappeared without a trace as though they had left the Genius Secret Realm.
“Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er have disappeared for about six years, right?”
“I wonder where they are at this moment…”
“Do you think they were killed by members of the Thousand Hands Devil Sect?”
“Impossible! Although the strongest young prodigy from the Thousand Hands Devil Sect is slightly stronger than Duan Ling Tian, he’s no match for Duan Ling Tian if Duan Ling Tian joins forces with Huan’er.”
…
At this moment, an aloof young man dressed in black robes was sitting at the peak of a steep mountain in the Genius Secret Realm. His eyes were piercing like sword rays, and a murderous aura lingered around him. A glowing black energy could be seen on the surface of his skin before it finally entered his body.
The black-clad young man rose to his feet. His eyes glinted as he muttered to himself, “Finally! I’ve broken through and became a Two Forms Celestial Lord. On top of that, I’ve also comprehended the law of darkness’ Annihilation Profundity to the mastery stage.”
A rare smile could be seen on his usually expressionless face at this moment. “Since I entered the Genius Secret Realm, I’ve been cultivating and comprehending the law of darkness for six years. It’s time for me to explore the secret realm…”
After a while, he wondered out loud, “I wonder how Tai-Ah Progeny’s Yu Tian Xing performed over the years…”
The Tai-Ah Progeny was one of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect’s ten progenies. Since Yu Tian Xing was the most outstanding prodigy in the Tai-Ah Progeny, he was also chosen as the Tai-Ah Progeny’s successor.
The Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect had ten progenies: the Yellow Thearch Progeny, the Profound River Progeny, the Crimson Sky Progeny, the Tai-Ah Progeny, the Seven Stars Dragon Abyss Progeny, the Gan Jiang Progeny, the Mo Xie Progeny, the Yu Chang Progeny, the Pure Porcelain Progeny, and the Shadow Support Progeny.
Duan Ling Tian was unaware of the many progenies in the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect. He would be shocked if he heard the names of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect’s progenies because it was the name of the ten famous swords in the myths and legends on earth. He would not believe it if someone told him the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect had nothing to do with earth at all.
“Let’s look for one of the Peaks of Gravity so I can see how far I need to go to surpa.s.s Yu Jian Cheng,” the black-clad young man murmured to himself before he left the mountain peak on a blood-red sword ray.
…
When the black-clad young man arrived at the foot of one of the Peaks of Gravity, only a dozen people were present.
The black-clad young man’s present attracted everyone’s attention immediately. They could sense his cold and formidable aura that was as deadly as a sword. No one dared to approach him as he stood still.
“This man… His aura is domineering.”
“Is he going to climb the Peak of Gravity?”
The onlookers were filled with antic.i.p.ation when they saw the young man walking toward the Peak of Gravity. They could not help but wonder how many steps he would be able to climb.
Meanwhile, the black-clad young man looked at the Peak of Gravity Ranking. “Yu Tian Xing is in first place after climbing to the 3,537th step?”
His eyes continued to check the ranking in descending order. “Feng Qi Qi, Baili Hong Fei… Duan Ling Tian?”
“Could it be him?” The black-clad young man’s eyes widened when he saw Duan Ling Tian’s name. For a moment, he seemed to have lost his composure. His breathing quickened as his heart raced and adrenaline coursed through his body.
It took a moment before he regained his senses. He murmured, “It’s useless to dwell on this matter. If it’s him, we’ll naturally meet…”
A faint smile could be seen on his face when he finished speaking.
Meanwhile, the onlookers were dumbfounded when they saw the black-clad young man smiling to himself.
“He… He’s smiling? He doesn’t look like he knows how to smile!”
“That’s right. His face was so expressionless earlier, I didn’t expect him to smile.”
Someone made a shus.h.i.+ng noise and said, “Tone it down! Do you have a death wish?”
Although none of the people present was familiar with the black-clad young man, based on his aura, they knew he had to be outstanding and someone they could not afford to provoke.
Swoos.h.!.+
At this moment, the black-clad young man shot toward the steps of the Peak of Gravity on a blood-red sword ray. Then, he began his ascent to the top of the Peak of Gravity. In just one breath, he had arrived at the 1,000th step. After another three breaths, he was already at the 2,000th step.
The people at the foot of the mountain and the people climbing the Peak of Gravity were shocked when they saw the black-clad young man’s speed.
“That’s fast!”
“His speed is insane!”
“Who is he?”
“How formidable! He has to be a gra.s.sroots prodigy! Otherwise, it’s impossible for us not to recognize him if he’s from a grade-one force!”
“His name will appear on the ranking now that he’s made it to the 2,000th step.”
…
Meanwhile, the black-clad young man who had reached the 2,000th step grabbed the writing brush that appeared and wrote two characters in the air.
…
Soon enough, everyone saw the new name that just appeared on the Peak of Gravity Ranking.
“H-he is Su Li?!”
“Su Li from the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect’s Shadow Support Progeny? It’s said that his strength is comparable to Yu Tian Xing, right?”
“Rumor has it that he came from a mundane realm. Apparently, he inherited the legacy of the Shadow Support Progeny that the progenitor of the Shadow Support Progeny left in the mundane realm and was personally invited by the current successor of the Shadow Support Progeny to the Jade Emperor Heaven.”
“His innate talent has to be insanely high for the current successor of the Shadow Support Progeny to personally go to a mundane realm to invite him here…”
“That’s right. It’s said that he’s almost 300 years old… Yu Tian Xing is more than 800 years old, right?”
“What?! Su Li’s not even 300 years old?”
At this moment, everyone was further shocked when they saw the black-clad young man, Su Li, continued climbing after the 2,000th step. Within five breaths, he had already appeared at the 3,000th step.
“His speed is terrifying, right?”
“With that speed, he has to be Su Li from the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect’s Shadow Support Progeny! His name has only appeared in the Peak of Gravity less than five breaths ago, but he has already reached the 3,000th step!”
“I think even Yu Tian Xing isn’t as fast as him, right?”
“Impossible! It’s said that Su Li is only a One Basic Celestial Lord… Even if he recently had a breakthrough, at most, he would be a Two Forms Celestial Lord.”
“Hey, he might only be a One Basic Celestial Lord, but don’t forget that he’s said to be evenly matched with Yu Tian Xing who’s a Five Elements Celestial Lord! If he has really broken through and became a Two Forms Celestial Lord, he should be slightly stronger than Yu Tian Xing.”
“That might not be true. Rumor has it that Yu Tian Xing and Su Li had battled once, and the result proved that Yu Tian Xing is stronger. If that’s true, even if Su Li has had a breakthrough recently, he might not be a match for Yu Tian Xing.”
“That’s right! Moreover, if Su Li has grown stronger, Yu Tian Xing definitely has grown stronger as well!”
At this moment, the eyes of everyone at the foot of all the Peaks of Gravity in the Genius Secret Realm were trained on Su Li’s name that was rising rapidly on the Peak of Gravity Ranking. Naturally, they were all fervently discussing Su Li.
Most people had heard of the rumor about Su Li, the prodigy from the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect’s Shadow Support Progeny. It was said that he was from the Yan Huang Realm, which was also the hometown of the Heavenly Emperor of the Jade Emperor Heaven.
“In our Jade Emperor Heaven, there are many powerhouses from the Yan Huang Realm. Su Li’s very talented, but he’s still a far cry from those powerhouses who also came from the Yan Huang Realm.”
“Nevertheless, those powerhouses from the Yan Huang Realm might not have achieved as much as Su Li has at his age.”
“Su Li’s only so capable and strong because he inherited the legacy of the Shadow Support Progeny in the mundane realm.”
“So? The other nine progenitors of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect left their legacies in the mundane realm as well. However, those who inherited their legacies can only be considered as mediocre after coming to the Jade Emperor Heaven.”
“That’s right! Su Li is talented for having achieved so much!”
…
At this moment, a white-clad young man was flying above a lake when he received a message.
“Su Li?” His eyes lit up immediately upon listening to the message. With just a flash, he transformed into a sword ray and moved in another direction, leaving his companion, a green-clad young man, behind.
“Senior Tian Xing?” The green-clad young man was stunned. When he regained his senses, he hurried after the white-clad young man.
It did not take long before the duo appeared near one of the Peaks of Gravity and hovered in the air.
The white-clad young man looked at the Peak of Gravity from afar.
Feng Qi Qi who was initially ranked second had been replaced by Su Li who was currently at the 3,522nd step.
The white-clad young man asked the green-clad young man, “Do you think he’ll be able to surpa.s.s me?”
Upon hearing these words, the green-clad young man turned to look at the Peak of Gravity Ranking. An expression of disbelief appeared on his face as he exclaimed, “Su Li managed to climb so high up? Senior Tian Xing, he’s only 15 steps behind you?!”
