Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 919 - 918: Turmoil

"Black Profound Mountain Range!"

Chu Ming's soul power scanned the jade scroll, and he couldn't help frowning. The Black Profound Mountain Range wasn't far from the Blood Moon Secret Forest, but the terrain of the two places was completely different. Although the Blood Moon Secret Forest was dangerous, there weren't too many demon beasts there. Generally, a sealed king-level genius could safely traverse this place without incident!

But in the Black Profound Mountain Range, demon beasts were rampant, and soul storms erupted from time to time. If one were unfortunate enough to encounter a soul storm eruption, even a sealed saint-level genius would meet their end!

Swoosh!

Taking advantage of Chu Ming checking the jade scroll, Feng Zhongzi instantly transformed into a stream of light, like a white amber, disappearing on the horizon!

...

At this moment, the square of the Nine Elements Dao Palace's Outer Palace was silent. Even Vice Palace Master Li Shang was staring at the holographic projection with a face full of shock!

"He... actually comprehended the Sword Dao Sole Self?"

Li Shang's lips moved slightly as he murmured to himself, his words filled with disbelief!

He wasn't a swordsman, but he was quite knowledgeable about the cultivation system of the Sword Dao. After all, at their realm, various martial arts had many commonalities, and sometimes learning from each other was inevitable!

That's why, when he realized that Chu Ming's Sword Dao had reached the realm of Sword Dao Sole Self, his heart was filled with shock!

Generally speaking, even swordsmen with saint-level cultivation might not reach the realm of Sword Dao Sole Self. Swordsmen who comprehend Sword Dao Sole Self in the saint dao realm are without exception, astonishing talents, let alone comprehending it at the emperor realm!

Such a prodigy, if they don't fall, is destined to become a terrifying divine dao powerhouse in the future!

At this moment, the outer palace disciples in the square were also in an uproar. Chu Ming's comprehension of Sword Dao Sole Self suddenly thrust him into the spotlight!

"Chu Ming comprehended the Sword Dao Sole Self; now, his talent should match that of a sealed emperor-level genius!"

"Indeed, I originally thought there was no suspense in this year's freshman battle first place, it should be Ghost Cat Woman Humor's. But now that Chu Ming suddenly exploded, the first place is not so certain!"

"I think this year's first place should still be Ghost Cat Woman Humor. Although Chu Ming suddenly comprehended the Sword Dao Sole Self, a talent comparable to a sealed emperor-level genius, Ghost Cat Woman Humor's current cultivation is at the third heaven of emperor dao, and she has condensed six flowers of law. Chu Ming doesn't yet have the strength to match Ghost Cat Woman Humor in the short term!"

On the square, the outer palace disciples were discussing, but most believed that the first place in this year's freshman battle was still undoubtedly Ghost Cat Woman Humor!

Third heaven of emperor dao, six flowers of law!

Ghost Cat Woman Humor's strength already rivaled the top senior students of the outer palace!

"Damn, how did he suddenly comprehend Sword Dao Sole Self?!"

Those few inner palace disciples clad in blue robes looked as if water could drip from their faces; Chu Ming's sudden comprehension of Sword Dao Sole Self, becoming a sealed emperor-level genius, was undoubtedly a great thing for the Nine Elements Dao Palace. But for them, it was extremely unfavorable!

Chu Ming had just robbed the Wild Dragon Association and formed a grudge with them. If they backed down just because Chu Ming was a sealed emperor-level genius, where would their dignity go? But if they chose to retaliate against Chu Ming, it wouldn't be so simple!

First, Chu Ming, as a sealed emperor-level genius, was sure to receive the full support and cultivation of the Nine Elements Dao Palace. It's even possible, no, it's certain, that he would be taken as a direct disciple by some elder!

Second, with the talent of a sealed emperor-level genius, Chu Ming's growth rate is undoubtedly terrifying. If they choose to retaliate against Chu Ming now, and Chu Ming escapes, they would face the violent and thorough retribution of a future powerhouse!

In an instant, these few inner palace disciples felt a sense of depression!

"Hehehe..."

The green-haired young man's eyes lit up, and he chuckled dryly twice. Seeing this, others immediately inquired.

"Xu Liang, even at a time like this, you're still in the mood to laugh!"

A delicate-looking young man couldn't help but express anger, as at this moment, they were in quite a predicament, and Xu Liang still had the mood to laugh?

"You all are really blinded by the situation; although Chu Ming is a sealed emperor-level genius, he is not the only sealed emperor-level genius in the Nine Elements Dao Palace!"

Xu Liang said leisurely, his gaze sweeping slightly over the sky's shadow, hinting at something!

"You mean..."

The others weren't fools; with Xu Liang's words, they immediately understood!

Two tigers cannot share one hill, let alone two sealed emperor-level geniuses!

Moreover, they also knew quite a bit about the factional news within the Nine Elements Dao Palace. It could be said that Chu Ming becoming a sealed emperor-level genius at this time was essentially courting death, destined to be targeted everywhere within the Nine Elements Dao Palace!

If Jiu Xuan also had an emperor dao cultivation, Chu Ming might still have a chance, but now, although they haven't seen Jiu Xuan take action, her cultivation is at least above the seventh layer of the saint dao, what does Chu Ming have to contend with her!

"Probably without us having to act, Chu Ming will end up with no place to be buried!"

A blue-robed woman with a frosty face smiled!

The others all agreed. They were aware of Jiu Xuan's immense influence within the Nine Elements Dao Palace, arguably not inferior to Yuan Bujing. Probably without Jiu Xuan having to speak, there would be countless inner palace disciples and elders suppressing Chu Ming everywhere just to show themselves in front of Jiu Xuan!

Though they wouldn't do it openly, open attacks are easy to dodge, while hidden ones are not!

Compared to these disciples, the happiest person present was undoubtedly Yuan Bujing. He had already given up, not expecting heaven to play such a joke on him!

Although Chu Ming only has emperor dao cultivation now, as a sealed emperor-level genius, he still has some chance to confront Jiu Xuan in the future. Although this possibility is very low, it's better than giving up!

Even though he was pleased, Yuan Bujing still needed to maintain a calm demeanor!

"Old Ancestor, please accept Chu Ming as a disciple!"

Yuan Bujing silently transmitted his plea to Old Ancestor Tianyuan.

He understood Jiu Xuan's forces, if Chu Ming had no one to protect him, he likely wouldn't be able to survive long enough to grow!

And Old Ancestor Tianyuan was the strongest figure in their faction. It was because of Tianyuan Old Ancestor's existence that he could barely contend with Jiu Xuan within the Nine Elements Dao Palace!

"I will accept him as my disciple!"

Tianyuan Old Ancestor replied. To be honest, at this moment, Tianyuan Old Ancestor also felt quite shaken. Initially, accepting Chu Ming as a disciple was to counteract Jiu Xuan's power, but now, he truly appreciated Chu Ming's talent!

Even though he's not a swordsman, at his level, it's as if all methods converge into one!
