Sword Emperor

Although Sun Bing had gained a new understanding of the Dao of Slaughter after cultivating bitterly for a period of time, not only did it not make him feel relieved, it also made him even more afraid of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword. Such a terrifying weapon was not something he could control at this moment.    

    

This was also because Sun Bing's self-control was incomparably strong, and he was able to resist the temptation of the Supreme Artifact. If it was an ordinary person, they would have already become a puppet of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword.    

    

However, after successfully comprehending the Great Dao of Slaughter, Sun Bing didn't stay in his original place and continued cultivating. After all, he had already reached the peak of the Ninth Level of the Life and Death Stage. He had mastered the Sword Dao, the Dao of Stars, the Dao of Slaughter, the Great Dao of Mountains and Rivers, the Great Dao of Frost, and the last Great Dao of Fire.    

    

Since the ancient times, there were very few cultivators who could break through to the next level with the four Profound Meanings, let alone seven. This had even exceeded Sun Bing's imagination.    

    

Because of this very coincidence, Sun Bing had to think of ways to increase his success rate of breaking through to the lightning tribulation. Otherwise, no matter how powerful he was, he would never be able to fight against such a terrifying lightning tribulation.    

    

At this moment, Sun Bing could only let out a long sigh and leave the valley where he was hiding, heading towards the outside.    

    

It didn't take long for Sun Bing to enter secluded cultivation this time. At most, it was only half a year's time. Logically speaking, there shouldn't have been any major changes in the Profound Province. In fact, the news of him fighting Tian Shang half a year ago was still spreading.    

    

However, when Sun Bing hid his identity and walked around the Profound Province, for some unknown reason, he acutely sensed that something was wrong.    

    

Initially, Sun Bing knew that the non-humans could be found everywhere in the Profound Province, occupying most of the land. However, this time, Sun Bing discovered that there were very few non-humans in the Profound Province. Even if he saw them, their strength wouldn't be too strong.    

    

Ever since he went into seclusion, he had encountered the most powerful non-humans. It was only a single Heaven Insight Stage. This was completely different from the information he had received in the past.    

    

If the Profound Province was only facing the invasion of these foreign races, then there was no need for many Sacred Lands to unite to fight against them. Just the Life and Death Stage disciples sent by a Sacred Land would be enough to kill countless foreign races.    

    

Furthermore, Sun Bing's discovery wasn't limited to this. Not only had the number of foreign races that were active in the Profound Province decreased, but during this period of time, Sun Bing didn't even notice the silhouettes of any human race. It was as if they had completely disappeared from the ground.    

    

This situation undoubtedly caused Sun Bing to frown, because he knew that no matter what, those Humans wouldn't disappear. There must be some unforeseen event that he didn't know about.    

    

After thinking for a long time, Sun Bing shook his head slowly. He said in a low voice, "It seems that a lot of things have happened in the Profound Province in just half a year."    

    

After pondering for a while, a trace of imagination suddenly emerged in Sun Bing's heart. Could it be that this matter was related to the greatest fortune that Holy King Dongfang and Tian Ji Zi had mentioned?    

    

However, Sun Bing quickly regained his senses. Regardless of the relationship between these things, Sun Bing had to investigate it thoroughly.    

    

Immediately, Sun Bing hid his face, and after recognizing the direction, he sped towards the place that the Humans had occupied.    

    

The more he walked in the Profound Province, the more Sun Bing found something strange about it. It was as if the Humans and Ancient Clans had already signed a non-aggression agreement. Although both parties were fighting, it was only the lowest level of battle.    

    

In the end, Sun Bing gradually got closer to the city where the Humans lived. However, he could not see any difference from this place. Everyone's expression and daily life were no different from before.    

    

Furthermore, Sun Bing had hidden his identity. He wanted to pry into the secrets that might be hidden, but he had heard the most. It was only the matter of Sun Bing's disappearance half a year ago. There were some other interesting things to talk about.    

    

All in all, apart from the fact that these Humans cultivators didn't go to the outside world to fight the foreign races, everything was very normal. However, the most they did was to stay at home and cultivate bitterly.    

    

This discovery undoubtedly made Sun Bing feel very surprised. Even though it looked normal, it was precisely because it was too normal that it caused such an abnormality.    

    

If it was said that in a relatively peaceful environment, it was one thing to cultivate in seclusion at home. Now that the foreign race was at the doorstep of their home, how could they be so calm at this time of crisis?    

    

Another thing that puzzled Sun Bing was that the other holy lands in the Nine Prefectures didn't send their disciples to help the Xuan Province fight the foreign race like they had discussed in the beginning. It was as if they had completely forgotten about this matter.    

    

After sorting out everything that he knew, Sun Bing undoubtedly discovered one thing. It was as if all the holy lands were working together, waiting for something to happen.    

    

However, as a rogue cultivators, it was impossible for Sun Bing to obtain any confidential information. However, this information was enough for Sun Bing. He piled all the doubts together and added Holy King Dongfang and Tian Ji Zi's warning.    

    

Without a doubt, it had already indicated that a world-shaking event was going to break out in the Nine Prefectures. It was a great opportunity for the Nine Prefectures. According to their previous warnings to Sun Bing, the chance of becoming a saint was within it.    

    

Suddenly, Sun Bing let out a long breath. The worries in his heart were slowly relieved. At the same time, his eyes were shining with a strange light. He was full of anticipation for what would happen next. After that, he went into seclusion.    

    

Time passed quietly. When Sun Bing finally calmed down, he found that the Great Dao in the world seemed to be strengthening gradually, and the spiritual energy was getting thicker and thicker.    

    

Since ancient times, the reason why there was a time when the Dao Art was weak was because the Great Dao was not visible, and the spiritual energy was exhausted. Firstly, it was too difficult to comprehend the Meaning of Dao. Secondly, even if one was a heaven warping genius, without the Meaning of Dao, without the spiritual energy, it would be difficult to maintain.    

    

But now, the Great Dao of the Heavens and Earth was stronger than yesterday. Although the changes were minute, Sun Bing was sure that almost every Life and Death Stage warrior could clearly sense it.    

    

If this continued, there would be no need for Life and Death Stage warriors to notice the changes in the Great Dao. The Heaven Insight Stage, and even Transcendence warriors would be able to sense the changes in the Great Dao.    

    

Moreover, the spiritual energy also became denser with the passage of time. Most importantly, the spiritual energy that appeared in this world was not only rich, but also of a high quality. It could be successfully refined within a short period of time.    

    

This situation was as if the heaven and earth had awoken, returning to the period when the Dao Art was flourishing. To any cultivator, this was a golden age.    

    

Especially in the eyes of the geniuses, if the Great Dao of the heaven and earth gradually manifested, then the speed at which they comprehended the Great Dao would be faster and faster. Eventually, their breakthroughs would also become faster and faster.    

    

Furthermore, after taking control of the Divine Land Tripod and the Xuan Prefecture Tripod, Sun Bing could also sense that the strength of these two Supreme Artifact was slowly increasing. He could even sense the connection between the other nine cauldrons.    

    

One should know that there was no such connection between the Nine Cauldrons in the past. Could it be that the other Nine Cauldrons' owners were rushing towards the Profound Province?    

    

This thought had just appeared in his mind when it was immediately rejected by Sun Bing. This was because this was simply impossible. Sun Bing knew a few of the Nine Cauldrons' masters, but the holy land behind them would never allow those geniuses to do such a dangerous thing.    

    

All in all, the series of questions made Sun Bing very conflicted, but there was no way for him to get an answer. In the end, he decided to stop thinking about it. However, he was paying more and more attention to the changes in his surroundings.
