Saint Sovereign of Nine Heavens

When the Sword Qi of the Scarlet Dragon disappeared, the Soul Devouring Sword Spirit returned to normal as well as its six broken bodies and the blood all over the ground.    

    

Beneath the Luoxia Pass, there was complete silence.    

    

The surrounding warriors and merchants all had shocked expressions on their faces. The warrior who thought Chen Yu was dead was at a loss for words. He found it hard to believe.    

    

Chen Yu, on the other hand, looked indifferent, and he was not the least bit pleased with himself.    

    

To be able to use Soul Devouring Sword Spirit to kill six late stage Spirit Accumulation Stage warriors, this wasn't a very impressive feat in Chen Yu's eyes. In terms of Langya Sword Sect, the number of Profound Dark Stage practitioners that Soul Devouring Sword Spirit could kill was not below this number.    

    

Then, Chen Yu took a step forward and arrived in front of the fierce-looking warrior who was beheaded. He reached out his palm and pressed on the broken body, sensing with rapt attention.    

    

Very quickly, Chen Yu felt that within the flesh covered warrior's body, there was a rune with a strong metal-attributed aura that was fading away.    

    

Chen Yu tore open the clothes on the ground and saw that there were some tattoo-like runes on his skin.    

    

Chen Yu couldn't help but think about it.    

    

"What was that sword projection just now?" A mature Spirit Seed? "    

    

"The barbarians of the Foreign Lands actually have spirit seeds that have already matured?"    

    

"Too powerful, too fast. When that sword image appeared, it cut off all life, and its sharpness was unstoppable. Hu San's spirit seed has already advanced to at least the sixth rank, but was unable to block this sword shadow! "    

    

"…"    

    

As Chen Yu was checking the situation of the warriors he killed, the surrounding warriors and merchants were discussing again, expressing their shock and shock.    

    

"The spirit seeds are roughly the same as the Spiritual Soul. They both have the same accumulation of spirit elements, making it easier for a warrior to absorb the spirit energy between heaven and earth!" Chen Yu thought for a while, "But, the spirit seed is obviously not as powerful as a Spiritual Soul of the same level. Furthermore, the spirit seeds and runes are too close, and can't be as pure as the Spiritual Soul! "    

    

Chen Yu was confused for a moment.    

    

From the discussions of the crowd, it seemed very common for spirit seeds to exist. Every martial artist was very familiar with them.    

    

Taking down the Storage Bag s of the warriors one by one, Chen Yu did not stay any longer. Under the gaze and concealment of everyone gathered under the Luoxia Pass, he walked towards the main road in big strides.    

    

"Please wait a moment!" After walking for less than a hundred meters, an old man with a thin stature and goatee suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of Chen Yu, blocking Chen Yu.    

    

This old man also had the strength of someone at the peak of the Spirit Accumulation Stage. Chen Yu only glanced at him and a cold light flashed across his eyes.    

    

"Please do not misunderstand!" The goatee elder felt a great pressure when he was stared at by Chen Yu. He quickly cupped his hands and said, "My name is Gongsun Shun and I am the manager of this team!"    

    

Chen Yu glanced at the convoy and saw that there were more than 30 carriages. Other than the three carriages at the front, the rest of the carriages were filled to the brim with goods like small mountains.    

    

Every horse that was pulling the carriage had extremely strong blood vitality and possessed terrifying strength. They should be second stage Vicious Beast s, and although they did not have sharp claws, they could still sweep away majority of the Demonic Beast. Although it was classified as a type of Vicious Beast, it was still not at all vicious.    

    

At the very front of the convoy, there were even riders riding Spirit Foal s. There were a total of fifteen of them, and each one of them had a strong aura, with their strength at the peak of the Spirit Accumulation Stage. In addition, there was also a guard sitting on top of each carriage, guarding the treasures.    

    

"Are you from a sect outside of the city? May I ask how should I address you? " Gongsun Shun asked Chen Yu.    

    

"Meng Yang!" Chen Yu retracted his gaze and looked at Gongsun Shun.    

    

"So it's Young Master Meng!" Wu Tie asked, "May I know where Young Master is going? If it's convenient, I wonder if young master would be willing to travel together with us? "    

    

Chen Yu was startled: "You have a lot of guards and you aren't weak. Why are you looking for me?"    

    

"Young Master Meng just entered the level, so he doesn't know. "After entering the level, bandits and robbers ran amok!" Gongsun Shun glanced at the Luoxia Pass and said: "Among them, the larger number of bandits will be a threat to us. Just now, seeing how powerful the Young Master is, we took the liberty to invite him!"    

    

Chen Yu seemed to have thought of something and said, "Where are you going?"    

    

"The capital!" Hearing Chen Yu's loose tone, Gongsun Shun was overjoyed. He took out a small cloth bag from the Storage Bag and said: "If Young Master Meng is willing to help, he would definitely not mistreat Young Master Meng. The price here is one hundred purple coins, and after we arrive at the capital, there's still a heavy gift to thank you for! "    

    

Chen Yu glanced at the cloth bag in Gongsun Shun's hands and did not accept it. Instead, he asked: "How far is the capital from the Luoxia Pass?"    

    

Gongsun Shun went silent for a moment and said, "About 100,000 miles. May I know Master's destination? "    

    

"Northeast of Qin Country!" Chen Yu was moved and said.    

    

"Grand Xia's Phoenix Soaring Province?" Gongsun Shun was slightly startled as he said, "I didn't expect that master's destination would be Grand Xia Empire. If that's the case, master and I are on the same road!"    

    

Together? Chen Yu didn't know anything about Qin Country's geography, so he didn't think of the same road.    

    

"Young Master has traveled far from the Da Xia Empire to travel to Da Xia Empire this time. It seems that Young Master does not know much about Qin Country and Da Xia Kingdom. This humble one will travel with the caravan all year round, so I can explain a little to Young Master! "    

    

"Sure!" Chen Yu nodded as he thought about it.    

    

With regards to the Qin Country, as well as that piece of information from Da Xia Empire, Chen Yu urgently needed to understand them. Previously, the corresponding information he had gathered from the Luoxia Pass was very limited and far from enough. As the manager of this caravan, Gongsun Shun did have a lot of business talks and knew how to make Chen Yu interested.    

    

"Alright!" Gongsun Shun was overjoyed. He handed the crystal coins to Chen Yu and led him to the front of the convoy, saying, "With Young Master Meng in our team, we will be safe all the way!"    

    

Chen Yu laughed, "Shopkeeper Gongsun, don't be too happy too early. If I meet an enemy from Profound Dark Stage, I'm afraid I have no energy in my heart as well!"    

    

Gongsun Shun was stunned for a moment, then said: "If we meet an enemy with Profound Dark Stage, we will try our best to resist. If we can't, then don't blame Young Master Meng!"    

    

Chen Yu nodded and said, "How much does Mr. Gongsun know about spirit seeds?"    

    

"Young master, please wait!" At the front of the line, Gongsun Shun said to Chen Yu with a smile. He walked to the second carriage and lowered his voice. He then said something to the carriage respectfully.    

    

When Chen Yu saw Gongsun Shun nod his head over and over, he said something in a respectful tone before coming back.    

    

Chen Yu looked at the carriage and for a moment, he couldn't help but guess what kind of character sat in the carriage that made Gongsun Shun, the manager of the caravan, to be so respectful.    

    

"Young Master Meng, do you want to ride a horse or ride a car?" Gongsun Shun asked as they returned to Chen Yu's side.    

    

"Ride!" Chen Yu looked at the Spirit Foal and a hint of expectation rose in his heart.    

    

Although Chen Yu had never seen Spirit Foal in the Ruling Spirit Sect, he had interacted with them in Bloodfire Emperor's memory, so he was not unfamiliar with them. Thus, he knew that these tame Vicious Beast with ancient bloodlines possessed incredible speed and explosive strength, so traveling three thousand Li in a day was normal.    

    

Receiving Chen Yu's reply, Gongsun Shun summoned two guards and had them give up the Spirit Foal.    

    

Chen Yu did not hold back and directly jumped on one of the horses. He instantly felt like he was sitting on a warm stove as the strong Qi and blood caused the temperature of the Spirit Foal to be extremely high.    

    

Gongsun Shun jumped onto another Spirit Foal and rode forward as he ordered the caravan to set off.    

    

Chen Yu tried to ride the horse, but he didn't find it difficult, so he slowly rode the horse and the other guards.    

    

When the group left, Gongsun Shun was unquestionably very busy. He kept shouting orders and directing the carriages forward in an orderly manner. When the caravan started to move at a steady pace, he spurred his horse to Chen Yu's side.    

    

"Young Master Meng should be from Langya Sword Sect, right?" Gongsun Shun obviously hadn't forgotten Chen Yu's question before. At this time, he said, "In the west side of your sect, there is a sect called Ruling Spirit Sect. Compared to Young Master Meng, it should be more clear, right?"    

    

Chen Yu was stunned and said, "I guess you understand it!"    

    

"Spirit Seed can be considered as the seed of a Ruling Spirit Sect Spiritual Soul!" Gongsun Shun said, "It's just that, unlike Spiritual Soul s in the Ruling Spirit Sect that are mostly derived from special extreme conditions, spirit seeds are planted by experts of the Deity Entering Stage and above with special spirit-type divine abilities!"    

    

"Seed Spiritual Art?" Chen Yu was shocked.    

    

"Spiritual Soul, as a spirit body, to a certain extent, are similar to plants and vegetation. Gongsun Shun said, "Thus, after the founding of Da Xia Empire, thousands of talented warriors from the Southern Wasteland gathered and created the sacred art. "Using this ability, we intercept a small portion of Spiritual Soul in nature and seal it into a spirit seed with mystical runes!    

    

Chen Yu couldn't hide the surprise in his heart.    

    

"After a martial artist has fused with their spirit seeds, they would use their own essence, energy, and divine to nurture their spirit seeds. As the cultivation realm of the martial artist increases, their spirit seeds would also be able to display part of the Spiritual Soul's power. When the warriors become strong enough, their spirit seeds will mature and evolve into Spiritual Soul s. However, we do not call it Spiritual Soul s, but called it 'Spirit'! "    

    

Chen Yu could not help but praise the creativity of a martial artist. All these spiritual arts were beyond Chen Yu's imagination.    

    

"In that case, the Spirit Seed is much weaker than the Spiritual Soul?" Chen Yu asked.    

    

"It will definitely be weaker in the beginning, but in reality, it's not that weak either!" Gongsun Shun had roamed everywhere his entire life, and his experience could be said to be extensive. He also had an astonishingly accurate understanding and judgement of the quality of spirit seeds and Spiritual Soul: "According to what I know, practitioners who fuse with Spiritual Soul s generally need to reach the Spirit Accumulation Stage realm. At the very least, they have to be at the late stage of Heavenly Astral Stage, or else they won't be able to successfully fuse them. Your sect's Sword Spirit is considered a special type of Spiritual Soul, the martial practitioners who fuse with it must have a Heavenly Astral Stage level of above. And in our Qin Country, an ignorant three year old child is already able to fuse with a spirit seed! "    

    

"It's true that the initial spirit seeds cannot compare to the Spiritual Soul, but because warriors have been fusing with spirit seeds since they were young, every time a martial artist advances, the spirit seed will become stronger after absorbing a martial artist's spirit!" Gongsun Shun continued: "After a warrior's cultivation breaks through the Spirit Accumulation Stage, a spirit seed's power will not be inferior to a Spiritual Soul. It has to be known that the growth of the warrior's body before the age of twenty is the golden age for the practitioner's cultivation, which allowed the Spiritual Soul's potential to be intimately linked with the warrior's! "
