Absolute Sword Mountain

Yi Yun arrived at Absolute Sword Mountain on the tenth day, no more, no less.

The Absolute Sword Mountain soared into the clouds, a place even birds could not cross. Yi Yun stood at the foot of the Tongtian Road, looking up at the mountain peak, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

The blood moon shines atop this mountain peak.

Those people wanted him dead, wanted Lin Xin Tong and Jiang Xiaorou dead, but they didn't know that Yi Yun was both far away and right before their eyes.

Ascending Absolute Sword Mountain and joining the Heavenly Dao Alliance was fraught with danger for Yi Yun. But Yi Yun had made up his mind to come here.

He wants to enjoy the resources and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of this Martial Arts Alliance, and then turn around and harm them.

Yi Yun's goal was clear: he was there to cause destruction.

Of course, there's no such thing as a free lunch. The Heavenly Dao Alliance must have its own agenda, and Yi Yun was well aware of this.

Yi Yun stepped onto the Tongtian Road. The higher he went, the stronger the wind became. Eventually, he felt as if he were in the middle of a storm. On both sides were sheer cliffs, and anyone with insufficient cultivation would easily fall off the cliff and be swept away by the storm.

Yi Yun used his Movement Technique, and the vital energy flowed through his body as if he were walking on flat ground.

Suddenly, several figures appeared in front of them.

"Hmm?" Yi Yun noticed through the strong wind that these people were not wearing the Martial Arts Alliance uniforms, and should be young talents from other forces.

The conversation between the group of people reached Yi Yun's ears in bits and pieces.

"Our applications to join the Heavenly Dao Alliance have been approved for several days now, and today is finally the day for us to officially Heavenly Dao Alliance. It's truly a rare opportunity."

"Yes, the list of newcomers joining the Heavenly Dao Alliance has already spread. I specially waited for you all at the foot of the Tongtian Road. Our Lineage are on good terms, and we will look after each other after entering."

"The Heavenly Dao Alliance is full of geniuses; it would be difficult to survive without uniting. This is exactly what should be done."

Upon hearing what these people were saying, Yi Yun immediately understood.

It turns out that today is the day when a new batch of geniuses recruited by the Heavenly Dao Alliance officially joined the alliance.

The middle-aged Scholar had sent him a telepathic message that day, saying they would meet again in ten days; it wasn't specifically scheduled for him.

The clothes of these people were embroidered with different Lineage crests. Yi Yun glanced at them and was surprised to find a familiar crest among them— the Totem Secret Clan.

The Leopard Girl that Yi Yun encountered in the Empress Secret Realm was from the Totem Secret Clan.

Later in Tianwu City, Yi Yun saw a wanted poster targeting him, which was also signed by the Totem Secret Clan.

This prodigy of the Totem Secret Clan was a young man whose face was covered with mysterious tattoos—the curse marks of the Totem Secret Clan.

As Yi Yun was sizing them up, the others also noticed that there was an extra person behind them.

The man from the Totem Secret Clan turned around and glanced at the man. "Who is this person?"

"He looks young and isn't wearing the Martial Arts Alliance uniform, so he should be a member of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, just like us. I only recognize about half of the people on the Heavenly Dao Alliance's list this time; I've never seen him before."

These people did not hide their conversation from Yi Yun.

"Friend, please tell me your name? Which Lineage are you from?"

Several people asked Yi Yun.

Joining the Heavenly Dao Alliance means being in competition with each other. These people have already formed alliances and share benefits. Everyone is somewhat wary of a stranger, but at the same time, they are also thinking about whether there is a possibility of forming an alliance.

But none of them expected that Yi Yun would simply glance at them and walk right through them.

He couldn't be bothered to introduce himself to these people, especially the Totem Lineage. This Lineage had participated in the manhunt for him, Lin Xin Tong, and Jiang Xiaorou, so it was already a favor that Yi Yun didn't secretly sabotage them.

Yi Yun's Movement Technique were exquisite; he passed through the group in the blink of an eye.

By the time these people came to their senses, Yi Yun's figure had already appeared in front of them.

"This person!"

The man from the totem Lineage immediately showed anger on his face.

"You don't know what's good for you!"

"That's incredibly arrogant!"

He ignored their questions and walked past them.

Their clothes bore their Lineage crests, but this man ignored them, showing no regard for their Lineage as well.

"Chase!"

The group exchanged a glance, all filled with anger.

Their desire to catch up with Yi Yun wasn't based on any theoretical arguments, but simply a matter of pride among young talents.

Yi Yun didn't even turn his head; he was too lazy to pay attention to these people. He simply used his movement Movement Technique to speed forward through the storm as if walking on flat ground.

He didn't deliberately speed up, but his strength was too great, and he quickly left those young geniuses behind.

"So fast?"

The others followed behind, all staring blankly. Those with weaker cultivation were already exhausted and panting heavily.

This Absolute Sword Mountain was originally just a small test for beginners. The more you brave the storms here, the faster your stamina will be depleted.

They had wanted to prove themselves, but found themselves falling further and further away, their Protective Vital Energy being constantly torn apart by the gale. As for Yi Yun, he had long since disappeared.

"They specialize in Movement Technique."

"This guy is arrogant by Movement Technique. He's using his superior agility to charge forward at all costs, just to get ahead of us and prove himself. It's ridiculous how he's gone to such lengths to be so aggressive!"

"Hmph! Just youthful arrogance! Everyone has their own area of expertise, nothing special!"

These people were all indignant, completely forgetting that they had just wanted to "compete and fight," but when they realized they couldn't win, they had no choice but to adopt a haughty attitude that was pointless to compete.

A few quarters of an hour later, Yi Yun finally crossed the Tongtian Road and arrived at the summit of Absolute Sword Mountain.

Normally, at Yi Yun's speed, climbing this Absolute Sword Peak would only take half an incense stick's time, but now it has taken him so long. This is because an array has been set up on the mountain!

He looked back at the Tongtian Road and thought to himself that this mountain path was also a good place for cultivation. Ordinary martial artists would climb this path year after year and constantly practice their movement Movement Technique, which would make their vital energy more condensed.

Looking ahead, at the Absolute Sword Mountain, there was a huge and flat stone platform. After Yi Yun climbed the mountain, he found himself standing on this stone platform.

At this moment, many talented individuals had already gathered on the stone platform, and many turned their attention to Yi Yun as he came up.

These gazes carried a hint of wariness and probing.

Although the scene was calm, Yi Yun sensed a hostility permeating among the many geniuses.

These prodigies all come from various sects and Lineage, and their interests are intricately intertwined.

Yi Yun glanced at these people. On that day, the Empress Secret Realm had only gathered some of the younger generation from various Lineage, but now, it had expanded to the entire Tianyuan Realm.

However, this made no difference to Yi Yun.

At this moment, the group of people, including the man from the totem Lineage, finally arrived.

As soon as they arrived at the platform, they immediately found Yi Yun.

Yi Yun sensed their gazes, but merely glanced back indifferently and ignored them.

"That guy!" The young man from the totem Lineage glared at Yi Yun with displeasure. This kind of conflict wasn't a big deal, but it was enough for them to hold a grudge against Yi Yun.

Yi Yun found a place to sit down and began meditating to regulate his breathing.

However, at that moment, a thought struck him, and an inexplicable chill rose from his heart, making him shudder!

This is...

Yi Yun suddenly opened his eyes!

He sensed a familiar aura, but for a moment, he couldn't recall where he had encountered it before.

This puzzled Yi Yun. After learning martial arts, his memory became extremely strong, and he could remember most things after seeing them once. Even if it was an insignificant minor character he had met one day, he could slowly recall them if he thought about it carefully. But now he couldn't remember some of them.

What exactly is it...?

Yi Yun glanced around. The many geniuses present were either chatting in small groups or meditating alone, and none of them seemed to be acting out of the ordinary.

Yi Yun wondered if the person who gave him this strange feeling was among this group of people.

Yi Yun was secretly cautious. In this Martial Arts Alliance headquarters, he was practically venturing into the lion's den alone. If his identity were exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable! (To be continued~^~)
