Ye Jinzhi barely managed to keep her hands from trembling, but her gaze was completely unable to leave the terrifying Sword Qi soaring into the sky in the distance.
Sword Domain.
Even though she had no talent in Sword Dao, she could still sense that the silvery-white area in front of her was Sword Domain.
Moreover, it's Sword Domain at the Saint Realm level.
What this represents is obvious to anyone.
The Duan Household around them all began to breathe heavily.
It's easy to imagine that the legacy contained within this Saint Realm Sword Domain is enough to drive most people who enter here crazy.
However, Ye Jinzhi did not act rashly. Even though she was eager to rush in and find out what was going on, she still used reason to restrain her thoughts.
This was because, in front of everyone, besides the Sword Domain, there was also a huge staircase covered by the Sword Domain.
The white jade steps, one after another, seemed to lead straight to the heavens.
They were shrouded in powerful, terrifying Sword Qi, which extended upwards.
At the very top of this Sword Domain, there is a broken small sword. Although it is broken, the aura it emits is comparable to that of Saint Weapon. It should be the core of this Sword Domain.
Generally speaking, the Sword Domain belongs to Human Race cultivators. If Human Race cultivator perishes, the Sword Domain will also dissipate.
However, there is another way to ensure that the Sword Domain continues to exist even after Human Race cultivator has perished.
That was the Human Race cultivator's natal weapon.
By using weapons to suppress the Sword Domain and acting as the master of the Sword Domain, one can ensure that the Sword Domain remains in the world even after the master of the Sword Domain dies.
However, such a weapon could not possibly be an ordinary object.
Just by looking at the sword on this white jade staircase, one can tell that when it was still intact, it must have been extraordinary, its grade definitely above that of ordinary Saint Weapon.
Saint Weapon...
Ye Jinzhi swallowed hard, unable to suppress the greed welling up inside her.
Her desire to pass on this tradition has swelled to its extreme!
You should know that her own ancestor was Half-Saint cultivator. If she could obtain this inheritance and offer it to her ancestor, it might be able to help him break through to the Saint Realm!
At that time, even within the Sword Domain, the Ye Household will rise to become an extraordinary force, joining the ranks of first-class powers.
Even the lowest ranks of a first-rate power are still first-rate!
They are no longer Half-Saint Lineage, but Holy Clan!
After taking a deep breath, Ye Jinzhi cautiously looked at the steps in front of her, pursed her lips, tilted her head slightly to the person next to her, and raised her chin slightly in acknowledgment.
" Chen'er, why don't you give it a try?"
The person Ye Jinzhi pointed out was named Ye Chen, who was Ye Jinzhi's nephew.
This time, although she led the Duan Household, she also brought her own Ye Household members. Her nephew, Ye Chen, was also a remarkable genius in their Ye Household. At only twenty-something years old, he had already comprehended Third Level Sword Intent.
It can be said that Ye Chen's talent is among the best in the Ye Household.
"Yes."
Ye Chen was equally decisive.
He nodded, then drew his sword and walked up the white jade steps filled with Sword Qi.
Head held high, chest out, without a trace of fear.
A hint of approval flashed in Ye Jinzhi's eyes.
However, the moment Ye Chen stepped onto the white jade steps, his expression suddenly changed.
This white jade staircase is not just a simple staircase; it is filled with Sword Qi, and even the steps beneath his feet are made of Sword Qi!
The Sword Qi solidified!
What terrifying Sword Intent this is!
Ye Chen swallowed hard, his heart filled with both shock and excitement.
The more powerful the master of this Sword Domain inheritance is, the more powerful the inheritance he leaves behind will naturally be. He's overjoyed; why would he stop here?
But it's just a mere Sword Qi!
Ye Chen could sense that the Sword Qi in the first layer was not strong.
Therefore, he immediately drew his sword and unleashed his Sword Qi, meeting sword with sword.
Generally speaking, this is indeed a good way to break the deadlock.
But as he drew his sword to defend himself, the Sword Qi on the white jade steps suddenly exploded.
The burst of Sword Qi stirred up waves of Spiritual Qi. Ye Chen, who had just stepped onto the steps, didn't even have time to react before being blasted away by the sweeping Sword Qi.
With a loud bang.
Ye Chen fell straight down the white jade steps like a drifting leaf, vomiting blood with a loud "whoosh".
Crimson blood lingered on his lips, mingling with his deathly pale face, instantly silencing those around him.
" Ye Chen!!"
Ye Jinzhi was taken aback, her eyes wide with horror.
how so?
She was utterly incredulous.
The Duan Household reacted in the same way, their eyes widening in surprise.
Although Ye Chen is Ye Household, the two sides are still related by marriage.
Everyone was aware of Ye Chen's talent.
But they didn't expect that Ye Chen couldn't even step onto the white jade steps.
"Heh, looking from afar, I wondered who it was. I never expected it to be you. Have the Duan Household and Ye Household still been so useless after all this time? You dare to send your trash, who can't even step into this level, to try and break through the formation? How laughable."
Just then, a mocking voice suddenly came from behind them.
Ye Jinzhi's expression changed instantly.
She abruptly turned to look behind her, her cold face contorted with disgust, as if she wanted to devour the person who had spoken.
But that person was not afraid.
He strolled over leisurely, accompanied by a group of Lineage members, and stood not far from the Duan Lineage members, smirking smugly.
"I think there's no need for you to fight over the fortuitous opportunity here. Such useless people would be better off leaving the Vast Sea Secret Realm as soon as possible, lest they needlessly lose their lives here!"
That's quite true.
"The Ye and Duan families... tsk tsk, as trash as ever."
As he finished speaking, many more people came over, their tone anything but friendly; most were just there to watch the show.
With such a conspicuous white jade staircase, how could the other forces in the surrounding area possibly miss it?
The forces that gathered were mostly Lineage or sects from the Sword Ruins, and basically, there were almost all of them who knew each other.
This made Ye Jinzhi's expression even more stiff.
She waited resentfully for the person who had spoken first.
If this person hadn't made those sarcastic remarks first, how could she have ended up in a situation where she was the butt of a laughingstock?
Damn it!
The man didn't care at all how Ye Jinzhi viewed him; instead, he sneered twice more.
The Duan Household was afraid of Ye Jinzhi, but he wasn't.
Both being Half-Saint Lineage, his Lineage was stronger than the Duan Household and comparable to the Ye Household. However, his Lineage had a prodigy who had comprehended the Fifth-Level Sword Intent at the age of nineteen and had already been taken as a disciple by the Saint Realm sword cultivator.
It could be said that they are slightly above the Ye Household.
Of course, Saint Realm does not guarantee the ability to comprehend the Sword Domain.
Therefore, this kind of Sword Domain inheritance is still something that drives everyone present crazy.
If one can gain even a sliver of insight from it, one might be able to perfect one's Sword Dao and break through the limits of Sword Intent!
No one will miss it!
" Xu You!" Ye Jinzhi gritted her teeth and spat out the two words.
She has a strong sense of self-respect and is competitive. Although Ye Chen's failure is not a big deal, being ridiculed like this is especially unacceptable to her.
Looking again at the timid and cowering Duan Yangqiu beside her, Ye Jinzhi felt a surge of disgust.
She was even verbally abused to her face, Duan Yangqiu, that coward, couldn't even utter a word!
But Xu You raised his head and laughed, "Even if you call me, I won't give up this inheritance."
"Just watch and see how the Xu Household's prodigy seizes this Sword Domain inheritance!"
