C266 Starting soon

Hearing Ye Xingchen mutter to himself, what exactly was inside the Sword Forest?

Shen Juetian's face showed a trace of melancholy, and said in a low voice: "The Sword Forest was discovered by the Sect Leader, he had personally entered the Sword Forest once, and upon exiting the Sword Forest, he had broken through into the Spirit Condensation Realm. And he had said before, within the Sword Forest, only those below the Spirit Condensation Realm can enter.

Ye Xingchen nodded, extremely curious about the Sword Forest that Shen Juetian was talking about.

Soon after, Shen Juetian started to introduce his Sword Forest. He loudly said: "Actually, Sword Forest is a place where swords are buried, inside the Sword Forest, there are long swords stabbed into the ground everywhere. These longswords are all passed down from the Ancient Period, and are unable to be unsheathed, because of the existence of these swords, the Sword Forest is filled with an extremely strong Sword Intent, and the warriors that enter can use this Sword Intent to refine their own Sword Intent, and the most important point is that I do not too clear. It's just that Sect Leader had mentioned this before, that after entering the Sword Forest, he said that after entering, one should not be too greedy, and that it would lead to one's life."

After listening to Shen Juetian's introduction, Ye Xingchen nodded his head. Sword Forest was actually similar to Heavenly Sword Gorge s, the Sword Intent s within the Heavenly Sword Gorge had not dissipated for five thousand years, and the Sword Intent s within the Sword Forest needed those weapons that were stuck in the ground to be maintained.

It was only then that Ye Xingchen found out that the reason Shen Juetian had broken through to the Grandmaster Stage was because he had once entered it.

"When I first entered the Sword Forest, I listened to the words of the Sect Leader. I wasn't greedy, I just quietly used the Sword Intent to refine my body, but even after I broke through to the Grandmaster Stage, I still wasn't able to refine my own Sword Intent." Shen Juetian slowly said.

Ye Xingchen and Xiao Shi were listening at the side, while Ye Xingchen was getting more and more curious about the Sword Forest.

"In short, as long as one is not greedy after entering, there is no danger at all. The Inhibition will disappear at this time of every year, and those who enter the Sword Forest can cultivate there for three days. After three days, they will be forcefully sent out." Shen Juetian continued.

Ever since Ye Xingchen appeared and saved Heavenly Sword Sect, Shen Juetian treated Ye Xingchen as his savior, and spoke of him as well.

Ye Xingchen chatted with Shen Juetian for a while inside the Conference Room, then Ye Xingchen went back to rest, leaving Shen Juetian with some time to handle the issue of Heavenly Sword Sect.

After all, had just met with such a situation in the Heavenly Sword Sect, so he still needed to take care of it.

Ye Xingchen who had returned to his room immediately fell asleep on his bed. Not long after, he fell asleep.

During the day, he had refined six of the Heavenly Devil's souls. Although these souls were nothing to him, with such a high-intensity refinement, Ye Xingchen was still a little weak.

The night passed silently. The next day, Ye Xingchen woke up after the sun had risen above the horizon.

Ye Xingchen walked out of the courtyard and saw the decorated Heavenly Sword Sect. There were Heavenly Sword Sect disciples everywhere, and they were walking towards the plaza in groups of twos and threes.

Right at this moment, a servant suddenly came in front of Ye Xingchen, and said a few words to him in a low voice. Then, Ye Xingchen nodded and followed the servant away.

Very quickly, Ye Xingchen was brought by a servant to the Heavenly Sword Sect dining area, where Shen Juetian was already waiting for him.

The other elders were also eating breakfast. Seeing that Ye Xingchen had arrived with Xiao Shi, Shen Juetian waved at Ye Xingchen and then called out loudly, "Elder Brother Ye, over here."

Ye Xingchen nodded when he saw Shen Juetian. Then, he walked towards Shen Juetian and sat beside him.

This table was extremely large, and was specially made for the Heavenly Sword Sect and Sect Leader s to use. Ye Xingchen and Xiao Shi were sitting at the same table.

Although many people knew that only the Sect Leader could sit, when they saw Ye Xingchen and Xiao Shi sitting together, they did not say anything. After all, they knew very well the strength of Ye Xingchen and Xiao Shi.

"Elder Brother Ye, how was your night of rest?" Shen Juetian brought some food over for Ye Xingchen, then asked while laughing.

"Not bad, hahaha. I woke up early this morning." Ye Xingchen said while laughing.

"Hurry up and eat, then we'll go to the plaza. Today's Sword Forest competition is about to begin." Shen Juetian changed from eating and said softly.

Ye Xingchen nodded, and without another word, he quickly went to eat.

Very quickly, the few of them finished eating, and under Shen Juetian's lead, they walked towards the plaza.

At that moment, on the plaza of the Heavenly Sword Sect, there was a sea of people. In the center of the plaza, there was a Arms Drill Platform, and at the northern side of the plaza, there was an extremely tall stage for the guest seats.

At the moment, there were still no one on the stage, Shen Juetian and the rest were not there yet.

There were many disciples participating in the Heavenly Sword Sect competition, but not many would participate in the tournament today.

There was a rule for the competition for Sword Forest, which only warriors with Small Three Levels of Grandmaster Stage and above could participate in. In other words, warriors with Congenital Stage could not participate.

After all, the number of warriors in the Congenital Stage was large, and there were not many in the Small Three Levels of Grandmaster Stage. Besides Shen Juetian, there was not a single person in the young generation with Grandmaster Stage.

However, since Shen Juetian was the Acting Sect Leader, he would obviously not fight with them for the position of Sword Forest.

In other words, with so many people fighting over the four spots, whoever would be the final four victor would be able to enter the Sword Forest to cultivate.

Today, a total of twenty practitioners are participating in the Sword Forest Competition. The lowest among these practitioners are the First Stage of Small Three Levels of Grandmaster Stage Body Barrier s, and the highest are the Soul Pass's third stage practitioners.

With twenty people fighting for four spots, the battle was bound to be very fierce.

Sword Forest was a forbidden ground within Heavenly Sword Sect. Under normal circumstances, other than Sect Leader, no one was allowed to enter.

And many disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect also knew the importance of Sword Forest. Many practitioners silently trained within the Heavenly Sword Sect, wanting to have the chance to enter the Sword Forest once.

On the square, a sea of people were discussing animatedly.

"Who do you think will be able to enter the Sword Forest this time?"

"It's hard to say. This time, the twenty warriors are all from our Heavenly Sword Sect. The competition will be very intense, right?"

"Sigh, originally, Shen Juetian was the strongest among our young generation, but he is now an Acting Sect Leader. Right now, we young generation don't even have a single Grandmaster Stage warrior as a representative."

"Who says no, isn't that Shen Hongyu?"

"Don't speak nonsense, Shen Hongyu is a traitor. If anyone hears you mentioning him, he will definitely die a miserable death."

Many people in the crowd were discussing who would become the four lucky warriors of this year, and whether or not a dark horse would appear.

Just as everyone was discussing, the square suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked towards the VIP stage.

Shen Juetian brought Ye Xingchen and the elders to the platform and sat down.

Shen Juetian sat in the middle, while Ye Xingchen sat next to him. Xiao Shi sat behind Ye Xingchen, and the other elders sat on both sides.

Although a lot of warriors recognized Ye Xingchen, recognized the strong warrior that defeated him.

However, there were still a majority of warriors who did not recognize Ye Xingchen, because they had all been cultivating in their own residences the day before, waiting for the Sword Forest to activate. They simply did not have time to come to the plaza, let alone see the battle between Ye Xingchen and Shen Hongyu.

And at that moment, when they saw Ye Xingchen sitting next to them, all of them started to feel suspicious.

"Who is that warrior?" Why is he sitting on the stage next to Shen Juetian? "

"That's right. Judging from his age, he shouldn't even be older than us. Why is he sitting on the main platform?"

"Could it be a relative of Shen Juetian's that is far away, or else he would not even have the qualifications to sit on the platform."

These warriors who had never seen Ye Xingchen before all asked the warriors beside him. They were all curious, how could a young warrior be sitting on the stage?

It had to be known that the ranking system of Heavenly Sword Sect was very strict. On the main platform, other than the higher ups of Heavenly Sword Sect, there was basically no one else.

A few people who knew Ye Xingchen spoke out.

"Hmph, what do you know? Shen Hongyu betrayed his Heavenly Sword Sect, and wanted to control his Heavenly Sword Sect. No one could match Shen Juetian in terms of strength, and it was Ye Xingchen who defeated Shen Hongyu in the end. He is our benefactor in Heavenly Sword Sect. "

"That's right, we have seen Ye Xingchen's strength before. He definitely has the qualifications to sit on the platform."

"I really did not expect that, with such a young age, he is actually stronger than Shen Hongyu. You truly cannot judge a book by its cover."

Very soon, the news about Ye Xingchen fighting a huge battle with Shen Hongyu yesterday spread across the entire plaza. Warriors who had not seen Ye Xingchen before all looked at him in unison, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Ye Xingchen looked at the warriors below him, and shook his head helplessly, not saying a word.

At this time, a white haired elder slowly walked to the center of the Arms Drill Platform.

He waved his hand towards the audience below, and the entire plaza immediately calmed down. Everyone stared at the white-haired elder, waiting for him to speak.

"Disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, today is our Heavenly Sword Sect competition's annual competition. Any practitioner who has reached the level of Small Three Levels of Grandmaster Stage can come and participate, and everyone also knows that there will always be four spots on the Sword Forest." The white-haired elder said with a smile.

"However, there was a slight change to the rules this time. That is, you only have three spots, and the last spot, after many of the elders discussed, was decided to let Ye Xingchen use it." The white-haired elder said loudly, and at the same time, glanced at Ye Xingchen.

Just as the white-haired elder finished speaking, there was a commotion at the bottom of the plaza. One by one, they angrily roared.

"Why would an outsider occupy a spot?" This is the most important forbidden area for Heavenly Sword Sect, Ye Xingchen will occupy one of the spots, I don't agree with it. "

The voice was very loud and everyone turned to look. They were shocked to discover that the one who had spoken was the most popular contender for the championship, Shen Tianyun.
