Transcending the Nine Heavens

nd the boulder.
Two pheasants were hovering there with their wings spread wide.
Both of them were single-handedly caught by Chu Yang.

Then, he floated down to the ground – as if he was as light as a feather.

The eyes of the two shadows popped-out as they looked at Chu Yang.
There was a bewildered look in their eyes.
It seemed as if their eyes were trying to say — ”What the hell! ”

”What’s wrong? ” Chu Yang was carrying a hare and two pheasants.
He spoke with a smile, ”Oh these… I was worried that we may not find enough food to eat later on.
Luckily, we got our rations here itself. ”

The two shadows didn’t care about food and rations.
They stared at him and asked, ”Are you a king level expert now? ”

Tie Bu Tian opened his eyes, and turned towards Chu Yang as soon as he heard these words.

[King level expert? When I first met Chu Yang a year ago… he was only seventeen years old… and a Fourth Grade Martial Pupil.
But, he has become a king level expert within a year alone?]

[This is…
just too unreal… right?]

”I’m ashamed to say this… but I’m only a First Grade King Level Expert… that’s all, ” Chu Yang answered modestly.

The two shadows glanced at each other; they seemed to be dumbstruck.

[Ninth Grade Martial Pupil, Ninth Grade Martial Master, Nine Grade Martial Great Master, Ninth Grade Revered Martial Artist…
and then King Level Expert.
This bastard has crossed forty levels within one year… and still has the guts to act shy and say – ’I’m ashamed to say that I’m only a First Grade King Level Expert… that’s all’…]

[That’s all?!]

[That’s all… my a*s.
You’re not ashamed.]

[You’re trying to pick a fight or something…]

The two shadows seemed low-spirited.
Their cultivations were at the Ninth Grade of King Level.
However, they knew that this was the end limit of their cultivation.
They were already sixty years old.
It would be impossible for them to move even an inch forward in this life.

[Chu Yang is only eighteen years old… and he has already become a King level expert.
So, how massive would his development be in the future?]

[Emperor level? It would definitely be more than that.]

[Then…
the Saint level? Very likely!]

The two shadows looked at Chu Yang as these thoughts crossed their minds.
He stood in front of them.
They couldn’t help but admire him; very highly at that.

”You’re a king level expert now? ” Tie Bu Tian looked at Chu Yang and asked.
There was a trace of pride in her eyes.

”Yes! ” Chu Yang smiled, ”Actually, it’s not a big deal.
It’s a trivial matter in comparison to your intelligence and aptitude… It isn’t even worth mentioning. ”

Tie Bu Tian also smiled and replied, ”Not necessarily. ”

A shadow asked, ”What type of a king are you? ”

This question had no head or tail.
But, Chu Yang understood the meaning behind this question.
He replied with a smile, ”I’m a Sword King. ”

[A Sword king!]

The two shadows were shocked.

[So, he isn’t an ordinary king level expert… but the kind of a king which is most difficult to achieve – a Sword King.]

The ‘sword’ had become the most sacred weapon in the Nine Heavens since the day the Nine Tribulations Sword’s Master first appeared in the Nine Heavens.
This was the reason why the majority of warriors in the world were sword artists.

When a Sword Artist made a break through from King Level, he arrived at Emperor Level and became a Sword God rather than becoming a Sword Emperor!

The Nine Tribulations Sword’s Master had decided this nomenclature thousands of years ago.
So, nobody dared to defy it.
In fact, the ‘Sword God’ level had become the rank of supreme honor in sword cultivation.

It could be said that a Sword God could easily kill a Saber Emperor of the same grade.

So, the might of sword cultivation could easily be imagined.

”Such a young sword king… ” The two shadows looked at each other; they were speechless.
They had seen the meaning hidden in each other’s eyes, [How many sword kings of such a young age are there in the nine super clans of the Upper Three Heavens?]

[Such a person doesn’t appear often in the Upper Three Heavens… forget the Lower Three Heavens.
What does this represent? How much do the nine super clans of the Upper Three Heavens have to spend in order to cultivate such a person? It would be an unimaginable amount.]

[It would encompass a vast amount of elixirs and Heavenly treasures.
An ordinary and small aristocratic clan would go bankrupt in the process…]

[…
Is this a good thing?] The two shadows thought in unison.

”The Heaven Splitting Mountain Pass is… in which direction…? ” Tie Bu Tian stood on a tall boulder and looked into the distance.
She had an indifferent look on her face.
However, one could see traces of worry and anxiety on her face.

”Don’t worry.
Everything will be fine. ” Chu Yang comforted her and said, ”Wu Kuang Yun is very clever at war.
Moreover, he seems like a bold and straightforward person.
He makes brave strategies… and takes quick decisions.
We won’t give up that easily… he’ll continue to strive for victory.
He has moved ahead of time.
So, covering a few hundreds kilometers to get back shouldn’t be an issue.
In addition, the Heaven Splitting Mountain Pass is a natural stronghold.
So, it certainly won’t meet with any mishap. ”

Chu Yang knew that Tie Bu Tian was worried about something.
His words worked as a tonic to dispel all of Tie Bu Tian’s worries.

[Yes… Five-hundred-thousand people would be crowded in a narrow pass.
It’s too late for all the troops to withdraw inside the mountain pass.
Wu Kuang Yun must make sacrifices in order to ensure the safety of the large forces… and to ensure that the mountain pass doesn’t fall into the hands of the enemy.]

[The most crucial point is to make sure to not give-up midway.]

They hadn’t imagined that the offensive and defensive operations on the Heaven Splitting Mountain Pass would be so tragic and earth-shattering.

Diwu Qing Rou’s calculations were accurate.
He was thousands of kilometers away.
However, everything that he had speculated – down to every minute detail – had turned out to be correct.
He would certainly be able to rout Tie Bu Tian’s entire army in one fell swoop if everything worked according to his plan.

However, there was one point that he hadn’t considered.
This un-calculated point had led to a change in the course of the war.
