Sword Emperor

It had unknowingly been more than ten years. Sun Bing still followed his usual routine, going back and forth to the City of Knowledge, the Holy Cemetery, and killing Ancient Clans's corpse in the wild. What was different from the beginning was that Sun Bing's Qi had become deeper and deeper.    

    

Although Sun Bing had been cultivating in seclusion, it wasn't like he didn't hear about what was happening outside the window. He had heard about some things that had happened in Ancient Battlefield. The geniuses who were at the same level as him had already mastered at least the 8 Profound Meanings.    

    

Speaking of which, after such a long period of hard work, Sun Bing had finally mastered the Devour Profound Meaning. Although it could be considered as the 8 Profound Meanings, it was still a far cry from the last Profound Meaning.    

    

The other geniuses and even the last nine Profound Meanings were right in front of their eyes, but Sun Bing was still far away. After all, the number of Great Dao Crystal Stone required for the Profound Meanings in this world was simply too much. It made people feel despair.    

    

If it wasn't for Sun Bing's firm will, he would have loosened up a little. After all, such a lonely life was really hard to adapt to.    

    

The path of cultivation also needed to pay attention to relaxation. After fifteen years of hard work, Sun Bing's mentality had experienced some vicissitudes of life. He couldn't help but slowly walk around the city. This place was completely different from the time when it was just established.    

    

Looking around, it was filled with crowded people. Each and every one of them was walking on the streets. If placed elsewhere, they might be the proud children of heaven that everyone would marvel at, but in this place, there were only a myriad of people. This was because any one of the people in the crowd might be stronger and more talented than them.    

    

"Have you heard? It's said that the genius of Di Prefecture, yu Sheng, has successfully mastered the ninth Profound Meaning yesterday. He is at the Holy Dao."    

    

"What? He has already reached such a level so quickly? This is really amazing. According to the rumors, the ninth Profound Meaning of the opponent is an illusory Profound Meaning of destiny."    

    

"That's right. Such an obscure and difficult Profound Meaning can only be challenged by a genius like him. However, it took him a total of fifteen years. According to the rumors, in the fifth year, his eight Profound Meanings had already entered the Dao. Now, it has been a full ten years."    

    

"That was only ten years for Yu Sheng. After all, there was a huge force behind him that helped him purchase the Great Dao Crystal Stone. It was such a huge resource that allowed Yu Sheng to cultivate successfully."    

    

After hearing these words, Sun Bing's calm face showed a hint of use. His eyes were filled with complicated emotions. He had never thought that after such a long time, the first cultivator who had mastered the nine Profound Meanings would appear.    

    

Furthermore, this was an old friend of his. He still remembered the friendly Dao discussion between the two parties when they were in the Enlightenment Tea Water. He never expected that the other party would rise to fame and become the first genius to attain the Dao and become a saint in the Human-pride.    

    

As for the Profound Meaning of Destiny, Sun Bing had heard about it. Even though it was considered to be in the top ten among the 3,000 Great Daos, it was still slightly inferior to the Profound Meaning of Time.    

    

However, according to Sun Bing's estimation, the opponent should have tried the Profound Meaning of Time at the beginning, but in the end, he discovered that he was unable to comprehend it, which was why he changed his target.    

    

Just as Sun Bing was feeling emotional, a shout suddenly came from the outside world, "Hurry up and leave the city. Yu Sheng has already started to verify his Dao outside the city."    

    

In an instant, everyone in the city was boiling with excitement. Then, without any hesitation, they walked out of the city. After all, this was the first Human-pride to achieve sainthood.    

    

Furthermore, before today, if one wanted to break through the three Profound Meanings, he would have to face nine deadly lightning tribulation, not to mention the fact that there were nine of them this time. Although they had the description of half-monarch's phantom image, it still gave them some worries.    

    

It was a good thing that Yu Sheng wanted to verify his Profound Meanings, so he could observe the situation of his opponent's breakthrough and investigate the crisis that was happening. At least, when he broke through in the future, he would know how to deal with it.    

    

As for Sun Bing, although there was a complicated look in his eyes, he immediately ran out of the city. After all, Sun Bing was quite curious about such a grand occasion.    

    

In the blink of an eye, the numerous cultivators in the city had arrived outside the city. There was a sea of people everywhere, whether it was the sky or the ground. There were more than a million of them.    

    

Yu Sheng, on the other hand, was a million miles away from the City of Relations. After all, the catastrophe of proving the Path was too terrifying. The area within a hundred thousand miles was a Thunder Sea. If one was not strong enough, they could be killed by the aftershocks.    

    

Sun Bing did not need to worry about the reason for his lack of strength. He directly passed through the crowd at the outermost region and arrived at the boundary of a hundred thousand miles. At this moment, there were already many old friends gathered here.    

    

When he turned his head, he could see Fairy Yaoyue's beautiful face, but at this moment, it had become much more solemn. There was also Prince Ji Cheng. His face was now filled with a rare serious expression, and he even looked at Yu Sheng, who was in the distance, with slight worry.    

    

After noticing the movement around them, a hint of surprise appeared on the faces of the few of them. Immediately after, they were filled with joy, and they bowed in unison. After all, Sun Bing had done them a great favor.    

    

After that, ji Chengcai spoke slowly. "Brother Sun has also come today. I didn't expect Brother Yu to be one step faster than us. Speaking of which, I'm still missing the last step."    

    

"That's right. Little Sister has also stopped at the final stage. With Brother Sun's talent, he should have already reached the final stage, right?" Fairy Yaoyue pursed her lips and smiled.    

    

However, after hearing these words, Sun Bing shook his head helplessly and had a bitter smile on his face. "I am different from you guys. Although I have the same ninth Profound Meaning, I am still far away from the perfection, let alone the Dao Initiation realm."    

    

After getting Sun Bing's answer, both Ji Cheng and Fairy Yaoyue had a strange expression on their faces. In the end, they didn't continue the discussion.    

    

After all, they had a pretty good understanding of Sun Bing. They knew that his talent was terrifying. He had already mastered at least five Profound Meanings even before entering the Ancient Battlefield. He should have surpassed everyone else. However, there was no doubt that Sun Bing's last Profound Meaning was very powerful.    

    

This time, the final answer was obvious. Being able to cultivate to such an extent, coupled with the information he had, it was obvious that he had sensed Sun Bing's intention. A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.    

    

But soon, Ji Cheng spoke straightforwardly. "No matter what, brother Yu is like a beacon of light for us this time. I hope nothing unexpected will happen."    

    

Sun Bing nodded. He looked at the figure in the distance and said in a low voice, "That's right. After all, half-monarch was the one who told us to turn into a saint. No one knew about it before. It all depends on Yu Sheng, Fellow Daoist himself. I hope he can break through successfully."    

    

The figure in the distance seemed to have heard the conversation between the two of them. He even turned around and nodded slightly. Then, he calmed down and waited for the last moment.    

    

Time slowly flowed by. The oppressive aura in the surroundings spread across the sky. At this moment, there was no sound at all. Even standing a million miles away, one could sense the terrifying momentum emitting from it, let alone Sun Bing and the others who were 100,000 miles away.    

    

However, with their powerful strength, Sun Bing and the others were not affected too much. Their expressions became more and more solemn. Finally, Fairy Yaoyue spoke in a somewhat shocked manner.    

    

"The momentum that is being emitted at this moment is comparable to the Third Transformation Saint's lightning tribulation of Dao Verification. This is only the beginning. How terrifying is the tribulation that the Ninth Transformation Saint is going to face?"    

    

At this moment, a thick black cloud had appeared in the sky. The entire world darkened, and the oppressive environment became even gloomier. Strong gales blew in all directions, causing the clothes of Sun Bing and the others to flutter in the wind.    

    

Now, everyone was holding their breath and staring at the front, because they knew that the final tribulation was about to begin.
