The Almighty Sword Domain

Mysterious Vortex

"Conscious attention! The Labour student had challenged the 29th in the Outer Court Rankings, Liu Qingyu, to fight in the Life and Death Arena three months from now. Everyone, remember to watch it in three months….

“A Labor Pupil challenges an expert in the Outer Court Rankings? Is there something wrong with you…. Are you talking about the Labour Disciple who transcended the ranks of cultivation to defeat Duan Jun?

“Of course it's him. Are there any other Labour Students besides him who are tough?

“Murid Labor is really great! He had first challenged the Outer Court Disciple, instead he was challenging an expert at the Outer Court Rankings. Even though he is seeking death, we have no choice but to admire his courage!”

Not too long later the news of Yang Ye challenging the Outer Court Disciple had spread throughout the Outer Court, and even to the point that some experts in the Outer Court Rank who were at the Seven Refinement Peak had heard of it.

“A sixth rank Mortal Realm expert challenged a First Heaven Realm expert? Stupid really is fearless!” This was something that an expert at the Outer Court Rankings had said when he heard the news of Yang Ye challenging Liu Qingyu.

“Although Liu Qingyu wasn't very strong, she wasn't someone a rank six Mortal Realm expert could challenge. I haven't left Seven Refinement Peak in a long time. Now, even the Labor Pupil is already so arrogant?”

“Someone in the sixth rank of the Mortal Realm challenged a First Heaven Realm expert. Interesting…."

No matter if it was the Outer Plateau Peak or the Seven Refinements Peak, news of Yang Ye's challenge was spread in both of these places at this moment. At this moment, Yang Ye's name actually spread throughout the Outer Court.

The Cold Wind Gorge.

After he arrived at the Cool Breeze Gorge, Yang Ye took out a high-grade Yellow Ranked sword technique that he had obtained from one of the elders, the Energy Separation Sword Technique, and he began to examine it carefully. Right now, he desperately needed to increase his strength!

“Energy Separation Sword Technique, High-grade Yellow Rating. The technique created by the senior of the Sword Sect. It had 10 levels, and each level allowed one to execute a strand of sword qi. When fully cultivated, 10 strands of sword qi could be executed simultaneously to sweep through everything that existed before!

As he looked at the description of the Energy Separation Sword Technique, Yang Ye felt lucky that when he fought Duan Jun in the Life and Death Arena before, Duan Jun had only learned the first level, he had only learned the first level, and if Duan Jun had learned a few more levels, then it would be dangerous for him.

As he continued to read it, Yang Ye's expression became heavier. The Energy Separating Sword Technique was extremely formidable, and even to the point of being a little frightening. It was not too frightening if it was only able to execute 10 strands of sword qi directly, but the Energy Separation Sword Technique was capable of 'energy separation', after all', and that means sword qi can appear in completely different directions.

The direction the sword qi was aiming at could be changed!

When he imagined 10 sword strands attacking the enemy from various directions, Yang Ye felt a little excited. But in a short period of time, he became calm as it was extremely difficult to change the direction the sword qi strands moved. It required one's control over Profound Energy to have come to a very shocking level, and this kind of level was something that even some Outer Court Elders could not achieve!

Yang Ye took a deep breath and put away the scroll, then he held onto the sword and slowly began to practice according to the circulation method in the Energy Separating Sword Technique.

No matter if it was for his little sister, his mother, or for himself, he would not back down. Because in this world power is respected, one does not have the dignity or right to speak without power. Just like a moment ago, Liu Qingyu's strength was higher than his, so Liu Qingyu could deliberately kill him and disregard the sect's rules.

In this world, power is everything. He understood this principle when he was in Southpeace City, yet he gained a deeper understanding of this principle after he arrived at the Sword Sect.

In the next few days, apart from eating in the cafeteria, Yang Ye spent every day cultivating bitterly in the Cold Wind Gorge, and he even slept in the canyon. With the Meridian Shield Pill given by the Outer Court Elder and the Energy Stone Bao'er had given him, he was fully capable of cultivating without any restrictions.

The crack! The crack!

Yang Ye stood on a boulder while swinging the Black Iron Sword endlessly in his hand. If there was anyone else here, that person would definitely be shocked because every time Yang Ye swung the Black Iron Sword, it was not just the rumbling sound of torn air that reverberated, it reverberated, they even left behind some sword images!

Exactly how much force was needed to let out a rumbling sound from the torn air? How quickly should the sword leave the sword shadow?

After he finished practicing the Basic Sword Technique, Yang Ye's sword pointed towards the ground at an angle, and his eyes were slightly closed while his face remained calm. He was like a monk entering a meditative state. Yang Ye's face was slightly thin, his face was handsome, and coupled with his graceful black hair, although he could not be said to be a pretty boy, he was quite handsome.

At this moment, Yang Ye was trying hard to control the rare golden Profound Energy in his body, and he guided them from his dantian towards the Black Iron Sword in his hand. However, the series of Profound Energy within his body were like disobedient children, and no matter how Yang Ye urged them, it was like a child, they refused to circulate along the circulation path of the Energy Separation Sword Technique.

After a few minutes, many sweat droplets slowly flowed from Yang Ye's forehead. They flowed past his eyebrows, flowed past his closed eyes, and flowed into his lips.

After about an hour, suddenly, the Black Iron Sword in Yang Ye's hand was engulfed by a golden light, and it trembled slightly as if it was coming back to life.

After a moment of silence, Yang Ye's eyes suddenly opened, and emitted an extremely clear cold light. Yang Ye was holding the Black Iron Sword in his hand as he suddenly swung it towards a large tree in the distance.

The Energy Separating Sword Technique! Yang Ye spoke lightly in his heart. After which, a golden strand of sword qi flashed from the tip of the Black Iron Sword.

Bang out!

A large tree that required several people to hug and was over 10m away from Yang Ye had been cut down in two along with this explosion, and the dot that was cut down was smooth like a mirror.

It's thundering!

The top of the tree fell to the ground and caused countless dust and dirt to fill the air.

As he looked at the tree that had fallen to the ground, Yang Ye's exhausted-looking face was unable to hide the excitement he felt. After cultivating day and night for six days, not only did he improve his Basic Sword Technique again, he even developed the Energy Separating Sword Technique to the first level. How could he not be excited about this?

Suddenly, a hollow feeling surged from the bottom of Yang Ye's heart. It was the feeling of one's Profound Energy that was truly exhausting!

It seems that unless the moment is critical, otherwise, I cannot rashly use this Energy-Splitting Sword Technique! Yang Ye could not help but laugh bitterly as he looked at the Black Iron Sword in his hand. Although the Energy Separation Sword Technique was extremely formidable, its consumption of Profound Energy was simply too terrifying. Just like this time, he had only executed a single strand of sword qi, yet the Profound Energy within his body had been exhausted.

Yang Ye took out an Energy Stone and held it in his hand before it began to absorb the energy within. The Profound Energy within the Energy Stone surged into his body and was instantly absorbed by the mysterious little vortex. Suddenly, Yang Ye frowned because the small vortex did not give him the golden Profound Energy like in the past!

Did something happen again? When he thought up to here, Yang Ye inevitably felt a little panicked, and he immersed his mind into his body. However, he was actually unable to enter the small vortex this time around. In the past, he had been able to enter the small vortex with his Spiritual Energy, but this time, it seemed like something in the small vortex was blocking him, causing him to be unable to observe the situation inside the small vortex.

When he realized this, that feeling of panic spread completely from the depths of Yang Ye's heart, and he hurriedly pulled out over 10 Energy Stones and began to absorb them. However, it was still as before. The Profound Energy was instantly absorbed by the small vortex, but the golden Profound Energy had still not flowed out.

"Brother, what are you playing now?" Yang Ye's expression was a little unsightly as he looked at the small vortex it was just taking but not giving. Could it be that the little vortex was intending to act like in the past?

In a short period of time, Yang Ye denied this thought of her. He and that little vortex were a unity. If he did not absorb the Profound Energy, the small vortex would not be able to absorb the Profound Energy. They could be said to be bound together for good or bad, and he did not believe that the little vortex would not bite the hand that fed him!

After a moment of silence, Yang Ye took out an Energy Stone and started absorbing it because he wanted to see what the little vortex was doing.

After 15 minutes had passed, 200 Energy Stones were gone, and the small vortex was still absorbing.

An hour later, the 800 Energy Stones were gone, but the small vortex was still absorbing, and absorbing at a faster speed.

Just like this, after six hours had passed, the little vortex was still absorbing, and showed no signs of stopping or giving him golden Profound Energy. On the other hand, Yang Ye looked as if she was going to fight against a small vortex to the end, and she was endlessly pulling out the Energy Stone after Energy Stone. In these few hours, the small vortex had absorbed several thousand Energy Stones.

As he watched the Energy Stone disappear, Yang Ye's heart ached a little. Fortunately, Bao'er had given him over 100,000 Energy Stones, otherwise, he would not have allowed that little vortex to absorb the Energy Stone this way at all.

Just like this, Yang Ye sat here from day to night, and many Energy Stones disappeared. However, the small vortex looked like a bottomless pit, and over 10,000 Energy Stones were still unable to satisfy the small vortex.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Ye continued to sit here from night to day, and by this day and night, 20,000 Energy Stones had vanished.

As he watched this Energy Stone disappear bit by bit, Yang Ye wanted to stop many times, but he could not. Because he had to think about that little vortex. Otherwise, not to mention the battle in the Life and Death Arena with Liu Qingyu three months from now, he would even be eliminated from the Outer Court Trials held for 20 days from now.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed, and half of the Energy Stone Bao'er had given him had been consumed. At this moment, Yang Ye was already numb, and it had aroused his ferocity. Because after all, he would 'fight' the small vortex to the end!

At a certain moment in the afternoon of the third day, Yang Ye's hand holding the Energy Stone paused for a moment, and he immersed his thoughts into his body. When he saw the Dantian within his body, Yang Ye's eyes immediately opened wide, and his face was filled with disbelief.
