Ye Yun leaves the Shaman Sect Master after resolving the issues at the Demon Imprisonment Well. He then travels with Little Color and Yu Lingfei to the Kun Region, where they encounter Lv Song, a young sword cultivator also heading to the Slaughter Emperor Gate.

“Friend Lv, when did the Slaughter Emperor Gate start recruiting disciples?”

After a round of pleasantries, the Celestial Boat continued forward. Ye Yun looked at Lv Song with a smile and asked.

Lv Song smiled slightly: “Friend Ye, the Slaughter Emperor Gate began recruiting disciples two months ago. It lasts for a total of three months. I am far from the Kun Region, so I just arrived here…”

“What are the requirements for the Slaughter Emperor Gate to recruit disciples?”

Ye Yun continued to ask.

“Friend Ye is actually unaware of the standards for recruiting disciples at the Slaughter Emperor Gate?”

Lv Song was extremely surprised.

Ye Yun chuckled: “Indeed, I am also very far from this Kun Region, so I don’t know much about the Slaughter Emperor Gate…”

Lv Song’s face showed a look of realization and then solemnly explained: “The Slaughter Emperor Gate recruits disciples starting at the Divine King Realm, but the highest cultivation base should not exceed the Fifth Level of the Divine King Realm, with the best being below the Third Layer of the Divine King Realm…”

Ye Yun asked curiously: “Why is it limited to the Fifth Level of the Divine King Realm?”

Lv Song guessed, shaking his head with a wry smile: “I’m not entirely sure, but perhaps the Slaughter Emperor Gate believes that with too high a cultivation base, there might be difficulties in practicing the Slaughter Sword Technique?”

“What Friend Lv said makes some sense. After all, the Slaughter Emperor Gate starts recruiting disciples at the Divine King Realm, so they naturally want to select those who are exceptionally talented, possessing the ability to fight beyond their level. The lower the realm, the more these advantages are likely to emerge…”

Ye Yun thought for a moment, nodded, and smiled.

“Friend Ye comes from a prestigious family, your swordsmanship must be extremely superb, right?”

Lv Song rubbed his hands together with anticipation and asked.

“It’s okay.”

Ye Yun smiled modestly.

In terms of swordsmanship within the Ancient Realm, he would be second to none.

The last time on the Cangnan Continent, Ye Yun had experienced the Empress of Slaughter’s Sword Ten but had no opportunity to witness Sword Eleven.

This time, coming to the Slaughter Emperor Gate and meeting this girl, Ye Yun naturally intended to spar with her a bit.

Sword Eleven, which could remove the curse of the Ancestor Dragon, shows how powerful this swordsmanship is.

Ye Yun was full of anticipation.

“Friend Ye, how about we spar a bit?”

Lv Song asked expectantly.

“Spar?”

Ye Yun looked at Lv Song with deep meaning, this little guy at the First Layer of the Divine King Realm truly was a sword aficionado.

He actually dared to spar with him.

“Lv, you dare to spar with my master?”

Little Color was displeased.

She leaped out with a step, standing in front of Lv Song.

Little Color extended a hand, her fingers forming a sword, speaking in a deep voice: “If you want to spar with my master, get past me first!”

Seeing Little Color, Lv Song inexplicably shivered, retreated two steps, waved his hand with a bitter smile: “Sister, you are at the Seventh Level of the Deity King Realm, how could I be your match?”

“Little Color…”

Ye Yun called softly, walked forward to Lv Song.

Little Color’s face stiffened, and she immediately understood her master’s intention.

She quickly retreated.

It seems the master intends to spar with this young cultivator at the First Layer of the Divine King Realm.

“Friend Lv, since we both belong to the Sword Dao, there is no harm in sparring…”

Ye Yun said seriously with a smile.

Sparring in swordsmanship is common among sword cultivators.

It is not always about competing in realms.

Now he and Lv Song are both at the First Layer of the Divine King Realm, at the same level.

Even though Ye Yun’s combat strength is terrifying, it does not prevent him from sparring in swordsmanship with Lv Song.

Ten thousand years ago.

Ye Yun had also sparred with many people, but since his rebirth, he had never done so.

“Thank you, Friend Ye, for accommodating.”

Lv Song was delighted, leaping into the air, standing in the void, and drew the sword from his back.

This was a blue sword, its blade crystalline and transparent, emitting divine light, evidently not an ordinary product.

Ye Yun took a glance.

The grade of this blue sword was not low, reaching the Lower God Rank.

Ye Yun initially thought of taking out the Thunderbolt Sword, but decided against it after thinking. Since it was a spar, it was best not to bully Lv Song.

Ye Yun found a Lower God Rank treasured sword from the warehouse, held it in hand, soared into the sky, and stood opposite Lv Song.

Seeing the sword in Ye Yun’s hand, Lv Song took on a serious demeanor, saying as if facing a formidable opponent: “Friend Ye, I know you are very strong, so I will not hold back, I’ll attack with all my might…”

“Feel free to attack with your full strength.”

Ye Yun smiled slightly.

This Lv Song was straightforward, which suited his own temperament, so Ye Yun intended to give him some pointers.

Swish!

Lv Song attacked with a sword, the sword light was extremely sharp, and its speed made Ye Yun somewhat surprised.

This did not seem like the swordsmanship of a cultivator at the First Layer of the Divine King Realm.

“Good move!”

Ye Yun shouted, raising his sword to meet the attack.

Bam!

The two swords crossed without any embellishment, emitting a clear sound.

Ye Yun did not use force.

Otherwise, this sword would have bounced Lv Song back, severely injuring him.

After sheathing his sword, Lv Song remained still in mid-air, showing a look of surprise, unable to help asking: “Friend Ye, what exactly is your physique, your physical strength is so astonishing?”

He was naturally endowed with a red copper overlord body, with extremely astonishing physical strength, thus his sword speed was extremely fast and powerfully aggressive.

Generally, cultivators of the same realm were often knocked back by his single sword strike.

He did not expect this Ye Yun to match him evenly.

“I have no specific physique…”

Ye Yun smiled.

“Then you must have some kind of bloodline power…”

Lv Song said.

Ye Yun replied ambiguously: “More or less…”

“Okay, Friend Ye, take this!”

Lv Song spun his body, attacking like a whirlwind.

Swish swish swish… This time the sword technique was as dense as a torrential storm, with no gaps, the sword light sharp and very imposing.

Ye Yun smiled slightly seeing this.

This Lv Song has quite an understanding of the Sword Dao, his physical strength is also quite formidable, with such power, he should be able to be selected for the Slaughter Emperor Gate.

The only pity is that Lv Song is a male cultivator.

The most powerful person in the Slaughter Emperor Gate is a Sword Dao Empress.

I’m afraid in this ancient Emperor Gate, female cultivators have very high status and exceptionally strong strength.

The sword light pierced through the void like a shuttle.

Ye Yun’s face remained calm, waving his sword, resolving each move calmly and unhurriedly.

No matter how aggressively Lv Song attacked, when it reached Ye Yun, it was still dissolved by his calm and graceful swordsmanship.

After the two sparred for dozens of moves.

Lv Song suddenly sheathed his sword, leaped out of the circle, clasped his hands together, blushing, and said: “Friend Ye, your swordsmanship is truly remarkable, I am not your match!”

“Friend Lv, you flatter me!”

Ye Yun smiled faintly and also sheathed his sword.

Lv Song returned the sword to a slanting position on his back and, along with Ye Yun, descended onto the Celestial Boat.

For the journey ahead, Lv Song continually sought instruction on swordsmanship from Ye Yun.

Ye Yun held nothing back, continuously guiding Lv Song, greatly benefiting him.

A day later.

Their Celestial Boat finally reached the Slaughter Emperor Gate.

The Slaughter Emperor Gate was situated among towering peaks, rich in Spiritual Energy, radiant with rosy clouds, visited by Auspicious Beasts, with ancient trees towering and Spirit Plants everywhere.

Because the mountain gate had long been opened to recruit disciples, the Slaughter Emperor Gate was very bustling at this time.

After registering at the mountain gate.

The four of them started climbing via a winding mountain path.

Within the Slaughter Emperor Gate, only disciples of the God Emperor Realm are allowed to fly, as for outsiders, flying is strictly prohibited.
