Chapter 1758: Chapter 1758: Unprecedented and Unrepeatable
"Oh, Emperor Long Shi!" The Holy Child of the Six Paths exclaimed in delight upon hearing the name.
Unexpectedly, the two Sword Path Defying Heaven Top Tier Holy Technique Secret Manuals being auctioned this time were left behind by Emperor Long Shi!
Both Emperor Kaiyuan and Emperor Long Shi are legendary emperors of the Three Pure Continents.
"But this auction has attracted many experts, even the Master of the Nine Sha Hall is here. They’re all aiming for these two Sword Path manuals. It’s going to be quite hard to win them," his subordinate mentioned tactfully.
Ordinary Sword Path Defying Heaven Top Tier Holy Techniques already fetch sky-high prices, let alone these two Sword Path manuals from Emperor Long Shi.
The bidding is bound to be extraordinarily fierce.
"No matter about the Master of the Nine Sha Hall," the Holy Child of the Six Paths snorted, "I will definitely win these two Sword Path manuals this time!"
His words carried a powerful confidence.
Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian and Old Lu had rented a large courtyard and were staying put.
Since he had not yet cultivated several Sword Path Defying Heaven Top Tier Holy Techniques to Summit Mastery, he practiced the Sword Path Holy Techniques in the courtyard.
Old Lu wasn’t idle either; he went out to gather information.
And he reported the news he gathered back to Yang Xiaotian.
"Today, the Holy Child of the Six Paths went to comprehend the Star Robe Sword Stone and activated forty-eight Sword Stars on it," Old Lu reported to Yang Xiaotian.
Within the Star Robe Imperial Capital, there is a legendary stone known as the Star Robe Sword Stone.
This Star Robe Sword Stone contains the Supreme Sword Dao and Supreme Sword Formation.
Many strong individuals, upon arriving at the Star Robe Imperial Capital, take the opportunity to comprehend this Star Robe Sword Stone.
However, due to the large number of people, the Star Robe Empire has set a rule that one can only comprehend it once in a millennium, and the comprehension cannot exceed two hours.
Many Sword Dao experts, when comprehending this Star Robe Sword Stone, typically activate only a few Sword Stars; those who manage to activate more than ten are extremely rare.
The Holy Child of the Six Paths, activating forty-eight Sword Stars, is indeed unique.
"Oh, activating forty-eight Sword Stars," Yang Xiaotian remarked in surprise.
"Yes, it is said that even the Star Robe Emperor was alerted," Old Lu said, then smiled at Yang Xiaotian, "Would the Young Master also like to give it a try?"
"The Sword Stars that the Young Master activates are surely more than those of the Holy Child of the Six Paths."
The Star Robe Sword Stone has ten sets of Sword Stars, with twelve in each set, totaling one hundred and twenty.
To date, no one has activated more than one hundred Sword Stars.
Let alone more than one hundred Sword Stars, not even more than fifty have been activated.
"Maybe tomorrow," Yang Xiaotian said.
He could just refine one Sword Path Holy Technique to the Peak Extreme Realm today.
The auction isn’t until the day after tomorrow.
He has time tomorrow.
He’s also curious to see this legendary stone of the Star Robe Empire, the Star Robe Sword Stone.
Since this Star Robe Sword Stone contains the Supreme Sword Dao and Supreme Sword Formation, it could certainly help refine his Sword Heart Power.
Moreover, it is said that if someone comprehends all the Sword Stars of the Star Robe Sword Stone, they would receive a boon and a reward from it, but what exactly those are, no one knows yet.
Old Lu was filled with expectation when he heard Yang Xiaotian say he would try tomorrow.
He knows that his Young Master has been painstakingly cultivating Sword Path Holy Techniques over the years.
However, he doesn’t know exactly how many Sword Path Holy Techniques his Young Master has cultivated.
It is said that the stronger and more numerous the cultivated Sword Path Holy Techniques, the more Sword Stars one can activate.
The night gradually receded.
The sky brightened.
Yang Xiaotian sat cross-legged in the courtyard, Sword Qi undulating around him, sometimes forming into a Sword Dragon, sometimes into an invisible breeze. Through these days of arduous cultivation, he refined another Sword Path Defying Heaven Top Tier Holy Technique to the Peak Extreme Realm.
Yang Xiaotian dispersed the Sword Qi surrounding him, called for Old Lu, and left the courtyard, heading toward the Star Robe Sword Stone Plaza.
As Yang Xiaotian and Old Lu made their way to the Star Robe Sword Stone Plaza, the Star Robe Emperor was hosting the Holy Child of the Six Paths in the Imperial Palace.
The Star Robe Emperor raised his cup to the Holy Child of the Six Paths and said, "Nephew’s talent in the Sword Dao is the most extraordinary I’ve seen in my life!"
"Nephew activated forty-eight Sword Stars, a feat of unsurpassed brilliance! Unprecedented and likely never to be surpassed!"
Unprecedented and likely never to be surpassed!
This praise was extremely high.
It implies that the Holy Child of the Six Paths’ talent in the Sword Dao not only surpasses all predecessors but also cannot be matched by anyone in the future.
The Holy Child of the Six Paths raised his cup, smiling, "Your Majesty praises me too highly."
However, inside, despite his outward humility, the Holy Child of the Six Paths was thoroughly enjoying the praise.
As the Star Robe Emperor and the Holy Child of the Six Paths exchanged laughter and conversation, Yang Xiaotian and Old Lu arrived at the Star Robe Sword Stone Plaza.
The plaza was large, but bustling with people, almost completely filled.
Every day, large crowds come to comprehend the Star Robe Sword Stone.
Of course, not everyone can enter to comprehend the Star Robe Sword Stone; to do so, one must pay a fee of one hundred thousand Lower Grade Dao Holy Stones.
Upon paying the fee of one hundred thousand Lower Grade Dao Holy Stones, one may enter to comprehend.
One hundred thousand Lower Grade Dao Holy Stones is no small sum.
Even so, many people are still willing to pay this fee.
By the time Yang Xiaotian arrived, many had already paid the one hundred thousand Lower Grade Dao Holy Stones and entered to comprehend. Yang Xiaotian smiled at Old Lu, "Old Lu, shall we go in together?"
Old Lu shook his head, smiling as he gestured, "I won’t get involved. I comprehended it once several hundred years ago."
As one can only comprehend once per millennium.
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian approached the plaza guards, paid the one hundred thousand Lower Grade Dao Holy Stones, and walked into the plaza.
Inside the plaza, there is a designated comprehension area where one can comprehend the stone.
In the comprehension area, dozens of people were already standing there.
As Yang Xiaotian entered the comprehension area, everyone else remained focused on the Star Robe Sword Stone, paying him no mind.
The comprehension area was only four or five meters away from the Star Robe Sword Stone, and Yang Xiaotian’s gaze fell upon it.
The Star Robe Sword Stone was not very large, only as tall as two people, standing there with a peculiar appearance, the whole stone radiating a starlike glow with one hundred and twenty dots on it.
These dots are the Sword Stars.
These Sword Stars spread across the entire Star Robe Sword Stone like a celestial map.
After sweeping his gaze across the Star Robe Sword Stone, the one hundred and twenty Sword Stars imprinted into Yang Xiaotian’s mind.
Closing his eyes, he recalled it once and then began to focus on the first Sword Star.
Since each person can only comprehend for two hours, he needed to make the most of his time.
As he focused on the first Sword Star, it was as if he entered a vast star world of Sword Qi.
In this star world, Sword Qi crisscrossed.
Suddenly, Sword Qi began to fill around Yang Xiaotian, and nine Sword Dragons surged into the air.
The first Sword Star erupted with Sword Qi, resonating with the Sword Dragons surrounding Yang Xiaotian.
Everyone was astonished.
"Peak Extreme Realm Nine Dragons Sword Art!" An elder outside the plaza, seeing the Sword Dragons around Yang Xiaotian, exclaimed in shock.
Everyone was amazed.
Before anyone could react, the second Sword Star also erupted with Sword Qi.
Soon after, it was the third Sword Star!
Within moments, three great Sword Stars were activated.
