The Sovereign’s Ascension

g Jue wanted to test him.
If the Sword Sect was only going to accept him as a disciple, there was no need for them to go through so much trouble.
It seemed like they were placing great importance on him instead.

“Senior Brother is right, if I can’t catch up to the core disciples in a year, there’s no need for me to head to Sword Sect,” said Lin Yun without any fear.

“Then you have to be careful.
The Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect has quotas to enter Sword Sect every year for geniuses who aren’t any weaker than you.
It will be a problem if you can’t catch up to them,” smiled Feng Jue.

“Is that so?” Lin Yun smiled.

Feng Jue smiled and maintained his silence.
Even he felt that it was impossible for Lin Yun to catch up to the Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect’s disciples within one year.
So Feng Jue wouldn’t be prepared for the turbulence that Lin Yun would cause in the next year.

Lin Yun looked at the massive island up ahead and said, “It doesn’t seem far.
I guess I can’t tell how big it is until we get there.”

“The Eastern Desolation is huge.
Even the Ancient Barren Domain, which is the core of the Eastern Desolation, only occupies three-tenths of the Eastern Desolation,” said Feng Jue.
Since the Profound Azure Manor was located to the far east of the Eastern Desolation, it bordered the water.

In the Profound Azure Manor, there were countless sects whose positions were higher than the mortal forces.
In everyone’s eyes, there were four sects in particular who were considered the strongest.
The Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect was formed based on the sword, the King Suspend Palace had the deepest foundation, the Buddhist Azure Thunder Monastery, and the mysterious Thousand Crane Pavilion.
The other sects were demonic forces.

The conflict between the sects never rested, with the conflict between the four sects being the most intense.
At the same time, there were many newly risen forces who were vying for the position of the strongest sect.
Listening to Feng Jue’s explanation, Lin Yun had a rough impression of the current situation.

He was basically in the countryside of the Eastern Desolation.
It was the intersection between the land and the ocean.
So the Profound Azure Manor was never calm.

There were lots of islands in the ocean region controlled by the Profound Azure Manor while the southwest region was enveloped in a mist throughout the year.
The territory of the Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect, also known as the Fleeting Cloud Sea, was full of islands.
Each island, aside from the main island, was considered a subsidiary force of the Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect.

“Many people get attacked here, even under the watch of the Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect.
Then again, you’ll need to watch out as well since it’s too far for the Sword Sect to help you,” said Feng Jue while he descended onto the island with Lin Yun.

Fleeting Cloud Island, where the sect was located, was the size of a continent.
The Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect was situated on the far north of the island with hundreds of mountains disappearing into the clouds.
Lin Yun saw countless buildings and people everywhere he looked.

Then, he spotted a mountain enveloped in silver radiance.
It had boundless spiritual energy that was denser than anywhere in the Heavenly Path.
But what shocked Lin Yun was the boundless sword intent pouring down from the sky like a waterfall.
He had never seen such a sight before.

“That’s the Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect’s Sword Saint Mountain.
Even elders aren’t allowed to cultivate there.
It’s reserved for the best of the best core disciples,” said Feng Jue.

If Lin Yun could cultivate there, his attainment in the sword path would definitely soar.
He had seen many places in the Heavenly Path with dense spiritual energy, but he had never seen a place related to swords.

“The Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect has 100 core disciples, who are the most elite of the elite.
All of them are at least in the Empyrean Realm.
Additionally, there are 3,000 inner disciples and 10,000 outer disciples.
Even the weakest outer disciple is in the fifth soul Heavenly Soul Realm while the inner disciples are at least in the seventh soul Heavenly Soul Realm.”

Feng Jue seemed prideful when he introduced Lin Yun to everything.
It was only an external force of the Sword Sect, but it made Lin Yun realize that his cultivation meant nothing.

“Let’s go!” When Feng Jue was done speaking, he took off with Lin Yun.
Immediately, they appeared in front of a barrier made with sword intent.
It appeared that Senior Brother Feng Jue said was right.
Even though the Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect was an external force, it couldn’t be underestimated.

“This array is created with tens of thousands of saint runes with a saint sword in the core to empower it.
To anyone but our master, it’s basically death,” said Feng Jue as he took out a token to open a passage in the barrier.
When they entered the barrier, Lin Yun could sense the dense spiritual energy, and that the territory was a lot bigger inside the array.

“Greetings, Senior Feng Jue.
The Sect Master has informed us to wait here for you.” While Lin Yun exclaimed at the environment, a few people led by a purple-clothed lady appeared before them.
The lady was gorgeous, but her cold expression made her look aloof.

“It’s been a few years.
It looks like you’ve been cultivating well,” smiled Feng Jue.
“Lass Ye, this is a disciple that I picked in the Heavenly Path.
Get him a place to stay, I’ll pay your Sect Master a visit personally.”

When the group heard that Lin Yun was from the Heavenly Path, they couldn’t help feeling shocked because this was a pretty rare occurrence.
