The God of Sky and Earth - Chapter 568: Yun Lingfeng's Anticipation!

Su Yi nodded, turned around, and left. The Dark Spirit Fruits had already been delivered. From now on, the upcoming events would have nothing to do with him.

“Grand Uncle, would you like me to take you around and familiarize yourself with Sword-hiding Peak?” The female disciple with the surname Qin regained her senses and followed behind Su Yi.

“Thank you, it would be a great favor to me.”

Su Yi nodded, thinking it would be a good idea to get acquainted with Sword-hiding Peak. In case something happened in the future and he needed to come back, it would be important for him to be familiar with it.

Guided by the female disciple with the surname Qin, Su Yi became quite familiar with Sword-hiding Peak.

The entire Sword-hiding Peak is divided into several areas. Among them, the most important ones are three specific areas. Each of these areas consists of cultivation methods, medicinal herbs and potions, as well as various types of weapons, primarily swords.

To obtain these things, one must exchange welcoming points.

The higher level of medicinal herbs, cultivation methods, and precious swords, the more points you need to obtain them.

Su Yi could only wander around and explore, as he had already exchanged all of his points for the Xuanyuan Soaring Dragon Pill. In fact, he still needed a considerable amount of points. Inside his badge, there were only the basic five points left. Even if he found something he liked, he didn’t have any points left to exchange.

After all the wandering, when Su Yi left Sword-hiding Peak, it was already dusk.

The sun set behind the mountains, and the evening sky painted the peaks with colorful hues.

As the final touch of red glow vanished on the western horizon, Su Yi returned to the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak.

Those who practice cultivation don’t need sleep.

Once Su Yi reached the Yuan Spirit Realm, he would spend two hours practicing deep breaths and meditation, which was equivalent to several hours of sleep.

It would take Su Yi another five days to reach the legendary benefits of the Divine Sword School. Although he was excited about it, Su Yi didn’t want to waste these five days. He planned to completely recover from his injuries and continue practicing the Foundations of Swordsmanship.

The Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak, at the back of the mountain.

The scene was filled with a soft mist, with scattered moonlight shimmering through. Tonight, the moon was bright but the stars were dim, as a few twinkling stars appeared and disappeared on the edge of the sky.

“Grandpa, I will come back as soon as possible, and your injuries will definitely get better…”

Su Yi, gazing at the bright moon in the sky, had a shimmer in his eyes and blinked ever so gently.

“I wonder where my parents are in this world…”

Perhaps it was a night like this, especially stirring and thought-provoking. In that moment, deep within Su Yi’s heart, everything that was ordinarily hidden was moved and awakened.

His grandpa’s injuries, as well as his father and mother who were more like distant memories, were all stirring within Su Yi’s heart.

Unfortunately, feelings of sadness and longing swirled and touched the most tender part of Su Yi’s heart.

“Or let’s keep practicing…”

After a long time, Su Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he put away all the swirling thoughts. In the end, strength was the most important thing. He must become a true powerful person as soon as possible.

“Zoom…”

Su Yi continued to practice Foundations of Swordsmanship. Though it seemed simple and dull, he knew deep down that these mundane and basic skills were exactly what he needed. They would greatly benefit him in the long run.

As time slowly passed by, Su Yi spent these days staying in the back mountains. He would get tired from his efforts and take a short break to catch his breath, then continue practicing.

In the end, Su Yi practiced with a broken sword at his back, and it was a tremendous effort to wield a heavy sword that weighed over a thousand kilograms.

Su Yi kept going, never giving up. It was a way to hone his skills and make himself stronger.

…

Time flowed like sand slipping through one’s fingers, silently and swiftly passing by.

Inside the Divine Sword School, the impact of the Grand Swordsmanship Competition had finally settled down a bit.

In a quiet room, there were waves of energy, and a powerful aura gently rippled.

On the bed, Yun Lingfeng sat cross-legged with a slightly pale face.

“Hmm…”

Taking a deep breath, Yun Lingfeng slowly opened his closed eyes. A glimmer of light sparkled within his eyes, as his body trembled fiercely, causing the room to vibrate.

“This Xuanyuan Soaring Dragon Pill is truly amazing.”

In the room, Elder Bai Mingshan’s eyes sparkled with joy as he looked at the disciple in front of him.

Seeing that his disciple was unharmed and even made some progress in his cultivation, Elder Bai Mingshan’s tense heart finally relaxed. Although obtaining the Xuanyuan Soaring Dragon Pill came at a great cost, it was definitely worth it.

“Sorry, master, I disappointed you.”

Yun Lingfeng spoke, his face twitching slightly.

Until now, Yun Lingfeng still couldn’t believe that he had suffered such a miserable defeat.

He thought that this time, once he revealed his identity as a Soul Tamer and combined it with his impressive soul power, it would be enough for him to rise above all others.

To win the championship of the Grand Swordsmanship Competition was just the beginning of obtaining the extraordinary benefits.

From that moment on, even in the entire central region, among his peers, Yun Lingfeng could be the leader of all. However, Yun Lingfeng never imagined that in the end, he would suffer such a pitiful outcome, losing in such a dreadful way.

“It’s not your fault, that boy is just so incredibly strange.”

Elder Bai Mingshan appeared indifferent, with a cold expression on his face. Then, his eyes started to shimmer with a glimmer of hope as he spoke to Yun Lingfeng, “But even though you lost this time, the final outcome isn’t set in stone. In fact, this is still our chance. Although that boy won the championship, the ultimate benefits may not necessarily end up in his hands!”

“Master, are you saying that there is a great benefit we can still have a chance for?”

Upon hearing this, Yun Lingfeng’s eyes instantly lit up with excitement as he gazed eagerly at Bai Mingshan.

“Of course, that boy’s background is unclear. Even with Su Kuangge protecting him, he will never be able to obtain the ultimate benefits of the Divine Sword School. I have already gathered a few elders to oppose this, and in the end, the sect leader had no choice but to agree. This time, he won’t be going in alone, but with eighteen others,” spoke Elder Bai Mingshan, a hint of coldness flickering in his eyes.

“Eighteen.”

Yun Lingfeng’s eyes sparkled, and he said, “There will be eighteen people. Who knows who will have the chance to obtain that great benefit?”

“It is indeed true, among the eighteen people, whoever can obtain such supreme benefits, can only rely on their own destiny.”

Bai Mingshan opened his mouth, a cold smirk emerged from the corner of his lips, and he said, “However, there is still a chance for everything.”

As the words fell, Elder Bai Mingshan produced a tiny jade bottle from his hand and placed it into the hands of Yun Lingfeng.

“Master, what is this?”

Yun Lingfeng was surprised and wanted to open the jade bottle.

“Do not open it,” Elder Bai Mingshan said with a cold laugh. “Inside is a drop of Blood Essence. When you enter that place, use this Blood Essence as a guide. By doing so, you will have at least a ninety percent chance of obtaining the supreme benefits!”

“Master, where did this come from? Is it really helpful?”

Yun Lingfeng was incredibly delighted. Having a ninety percent chance of obtaining the supreme benefits felt like having victory within his grasp.

“No need for more questions,” Elder Bai Mingshan said solemnly. “This is your final chance. As long as you are able to obtain the supreme benefits, everything will still be yours!”

“Thank you, Master!”

Yun Lingfeng was filled with excitement as he eagerly bowed. A mysterious joy swelled within him, and a cold determination gleamed in his eyes. As long as he could obtain the supreme benefits, everything he had lost would return to him. Even the humiliation that Su Yi had brought upon him would be returned tenfold.

“Su Yi, do you think you’ve truly won?” Yun Lingfeng’s heart grew cold as he spoke. “Once the supreme benefits fall into my hands, you will pay tenfold for what you have done!”
