The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2978 - 2953: Seven-colored Divine Light!

When Lin Bai arrived at Fire Lotus Mountain aboard Tianbao Tower’s guest ship, it was already dusk. After settling in, nightfall quickly approached.

Lin Bai walked out of the courtyard and saw many warriors who had arrived at Fire Lotus Mountain and, after getting settled, began to explore the area, wandering around Fire Lotus Mountain.

Lin Bai stood in the courtyard, holding a scroll in his hand, which he opened and examined carefully.

The scroll was a map that had always been in the room. Lin Bai guessed that every residence here might contain an exactly the same map.

This map was of Fire Lotus Mountain, with detailed depictions of its terrain and clear indications of areas that were forbidden and shouldn’t be entered easily, as well as places where one could roam freely.

Looking at Fire Lotus Mountain’s map, Lin Bai clearly saw that amidst the mountain range, at its center, there was a towering mountain peak, resembling an eternal flame blazing and never extinguished.

This was the main peak of Fire Lotus Mountain, where Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures and five direct disciples resided. Soon after, Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures’ birthday celebration would also take place at the main peak of Fire Lotus Mountain.

Beyond that, with the main peak of Fire Lotus Mountain as the center, it spread out in four directions: southeast, west, and north. Lin Bai currently resided in the western mountains of Fire Lotus Mountain.

The western mountains contain accommodations for hundreds of thousands of warriors, so at the moment, the western mountains were mostly fully occupied.

While Lin Bai was in the courtyard studying the map, Ye Suxin walked into Lin Bai’s courtyard and said with a smile, "Still looking at the map? Want to go out for a walk?"

Lin Bai looked up and asked with a smile, "Where?"

Ye Suxin said, "Haven’t you noticed the annotations on the map?"

"Aside from some forbidden areas that we cannot visit, we can freely explore the rest of the places!"

"And the terrain of Fire Lotus Mountain offers many beautiful sights, such as ’Flame Sky Pool’ and ’Flame Mountain,’ all wonderful places in the Southern Continent."

"Don’t you want to take a look?"

"Many warriors have come to Fire Lotus Mountain for this very reason—to explore and enjoy the views!"

Ye Suxin remarked with a gentle smile.

Lin Bai replied with a smile, "If you want to go look around, I can accompany you!"

Ye Suxin pursed her lips and said, "Forget it, you seem not too interested in going out, so let’s just rest here!"

"Besides, I heard from many warriors that the geniuses arriving at Fire Lotus Mountain this time are as numerous as cows!"

"Li Can from the Jiuli Tribe, reputedly the foremost under heaven, and some even predict that Li Can will become the fourth legendary genius of the Southern Continent!"

"Also, Yan Ji from the Emperor Tribe, Su Tingzong from the Sword Pavilion Clan have also made their way to Fire Lotus Mountain!"

"It seems these three tribes are determined to succeed in this year’s artifact quest!"

"If you intend to ask Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures to reforge the Demonic Sword for you, your opponents will be these three."

"Are you confident? They are currently the most sought-after talents in the Southern Continent."

Ye Suxin spoke with a light laugh.

Lin Bai rolled up the scroll and replied, "Confidence is only determined after the fight. They’re strong, but I’ve faced even stronger warriors on my journey!"

Lin Bai and Ye Suxin sat in the courtyard, chatting idly until late into the night.

Lin Ye, meanwhile, was fast asleep in his room.

"Alright, it’s getting late, you should rest early. The long journey and the injury from battling the Nine-headed Snake have just started to heal!" Ye Suxin said lightly, intending to leave.

Lin Bai escorted Ye Suxin to the door.

Just at that moment.

Lin Bai suddenly felt a tremor within Fire Lotus Mountain and looked up to see a seven-colored beam shooting up next to the towering Fire Lotus Mountain.

This seven-colored beam was particularly eye-catching in the night sky of Fire Lotus Mountain.

The beam pierced into the Cloud Sky, as if a treasure were being born, visible to warriors within tens of thousands of miles.

"What is that?" Ye Suxin wondered aloud, curious.

Lin Bai also gazed up, seeing the seven-colored divine light, and calmly said, "It seems to emanate from beneath the main peak of Fire Lotus Mountain. Judging by the glow, it looks like a treasure is emerging!"

Ye Suxin said, "A supernatural event from the heavens, it surely heralds the emergence of a precious artifact. Could Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures be crafting some treasure?"

Lin Bai shook his head, saying, "It’s unlikely. The birthday celebration is fast approaching, and Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures is probably preparing for it. Even if an extraordinary artifact must be crafted, I doubt it would be done at this time!"

Ye Suxin said, "Then it’s strange; why such a dazzling glow?"

Lin Bai said, "You stay here, I’ll go have a look!"

Ye Suxin nodded, "Alright, be careful."

Lin Bai nodded slightly, leaping from the courtyard and heading straight toward the source of the seven-colored divine light.

In mid-air, Lin Bai retrieved the map scroll from the storage bag, confirming the location of the seven-colored divine light. After clearly identifying it, he whispered, "This place should be beneath the main peak of Fire Lotus Mountain, according to the map, this area is marked as a forbidden zone!"

Putting away the map, Lin Bai sped away, quickly bypassing Fire Lotus Mountain’s western mountains, approaching the main peak area.

The vicinity of Fire Lotus Mountain’s main peak was closed to outsiders, thus very few warriors were present.

Even as Lin Bai entered, he saw hardly any warriors.

Although Lin Bai knew the area was forbidden, he glanced up and saw the seven-colored divine light nearby. After some hesitation, he proceeded toward it.

Lin Bai, cautious, slowly approached the source of the seven-colored divine light.

When Lin Bai emerged from the shadows and arrived before the seven-colored divine light, he found several warriors already standing there.

Noticing Lin Bai, among them, a man in a purple robe chuckled softly, "It seems we’re not the only ones drawn by the seven-colored divine light; others have also spotted it!"

These individuals turned to look, catching sight of Lin Bai.

Lin Bai realized he’d been detected, so he decided against concealing his presence, stepping out of the shadows to join them.

Lin Bai first glanced at the source of the seven-colored divine light.

The towering seven-colored divine light emanated from within a well, its glow intensely bright yet concentrated and unyielding.

Currently, surrounding the well, stood seven warriors, both male and female, all mesmerized until they noticed Lin Bai had arrived and turned to acknowledge him.
