Chapter 156: The Heaven Saber Sect

“Brother Di is being polite. You see, this Defense Array…” When Li Can saw that Di Jiu had woken up from his moment of enlightenment so quickly, he felt very happy. At least Di Jiu had acknowledged his kind words.

Li Can and Di Jiu were talented disciples from top sects, so even though they had interacted only for a short time, Li Can could tell that Di Jiu was definitely a cultivator with great potential. Since there was no conflict of interest, there was no harm in being close with such a person.

“Attack again,” said Di Jiu before he grabbed a bunch of array flags and threw the first one.

This time, the way he grabbed the array flag was different. Earlier, he had pointed in the direction he wanted to attack.

However, he had now become a level-seven Array Formation King, so Di Jiu’s array flag was able to suppress the automatic repair of the Defense Array. As he threw out more of his array flags, this suppression kept increasing.

No matter how powerful the Defense Array was, once it lost the ability to repair automatically, it would not withstand the attack of thousands of people for long.

After only three days, the array once again produced a squeaky, cracking sound.

This sound was different from the previous cracking sound it had made. As soon as it was heard, the whole array kept ringing continuously and a rich aura infiltrated the outside.

All the cultivators who had attacked the Mountain Defense Array were shocked to see the changes in front of them. In the end, a loud, violent explosion was heard and an extremely wide bluestone boulevard was revealed. This boulevard led directly to the entrance of the mountain gate. Three striking words were floating in the air at the entrance. Heaven Saber Sect…

These magnificent words seemed to be overlooking both heaven and earth.

In the deepest part of the Heaven Saber Sect, a long saber was suspended on a mountain peak, surrounded by saber intent. This saber was obviously not ordinary.

The crowd was quickly stunned by the rich aura inside. After a short pause, thousands of cultivators screamed wildly and rushed into the sect.

“Let’s go in and find our own opportunities, my friend.” Li Can cupped his fist before Di Jiu and then entered the Heaven Saber Sect without hesitation. He was calmer than the other cultivators.

Di Jiu looked at the imposing name of the Heaven Saber Sect. He sensed an endless saber intent coming from these three words. This kind of saber intent represented an unyielding perseverance and an unrestrained aura that resonated with his saber intent and supported it silently.

Di Jiu felt some regret in his heart. He regretted helping these people break the Heaven Saber Sect’s Defense Array. Although he didn’t know anyone from this sect, this sect had already made a deep impression on him.

“Let’s go in, Big Brother. Otherwise, the others will take all the good stuff!” the Tiny Treant shouted anxiously at Di Jiu.

Everyone had already rushed into the sect except for the two of them.

Di Jiu took a deep breath and nodded at the Tiny Treant. “We will go in separately and look around. If anything happens, let me know immediately.”

“Yes…” said the Tiny Treant before disappearing into the depths of this sect.

Di Jiu’s mental strength scanned a wide area. He decided to keep the inheritance of this sect, as he was the one in the wrong in this case.

As Di Jiu’s mental strength condensed, he quickly found the sect’s Sutra Depository.

The most important thing for getting the inheritance of a sect was the Sutra Depository.

After launching his mental strength escape technique, Di Jiu appeared in the Sutra Depository in the blink of an eye. There were already two Golden Core cultivators there, attacking the Defense Arrays outside the Sutra Depository.

When Di Jiu came, they both stopped attacking. They knew how terrifying Di Jiu was.

“Hi, friends. I want to take the Sutra Depository. The two of you should go somewhere else to make a fortune.” Di Jiu cupped his fist and kept his tone polite.

The two Golden Core Realm Cultivators who had gone there first did not want to leave. The inside of the Heaven Saber Sect was pretty much complete, as the sect did not appear to have suffered any form of damage. The sect’s Sutra Depository was naturally a treasure. Unfortunately, they were both aware of Di Jiu’s power and cruelty.

Di Jiu was mainly the reason the Heaven Saber Sect’s Defense Array had been blasted in the first place.

“Yes, sir.” Even though they felt wronged deep down, the two cultivators had to let this go.

Di Jiu waited for the cultivators to go before he checked the Defense Array. Although the Defense Array of the Sutra Depository was a level-nine Defense Array, it was slightly broken. It was no wonder that the two Golden Core cultivators had been attacking the Defense Array. This kind of broken Defense Array could be broken in half a day depending on the skills of the two cultivators.

Logically speaking, if the sect Defense Array was complete, this Defense Array should not be broken. However, no one knew what had happened when the sect had been sealed.

Di Jiu decided to take the Sutra Depository of the Heaven Saber Sect. As a Seventh-Level Array King, he quickly discovered the array core of the broken Defense Array.

He immediately threw numerous array flags, surrounding the Sutra Depository quickly. Di Jiu escaped into the array core and then threw hundreds of array flags again.

When a spirit meridian with rich Spirit Qi appeared in front of him, Di Jiu sent the 20-foot-long spirit meridian into his Small World as fast as he could.

The roar heard when Di Jiu took the spirit meridian attracted all the cultivators in the Heaven Saber Sect, who looked in Di Jiu’s direction. However, no one came. They were all currently collecting treasures like crazy. How could they even care about anything else?

Di Jiu took the spirit meridian of the Sutra Depository, causing the Defense Array guarding it to become a decoration. Di Jiu was a Seventh-Level Array King now, so he was able to send the Sutra Depository into the Small World easily.

After collecting the Sutra Depository, he left quickly. If he wanted to rob the sect’s spirit herb garden, he could only assign the task to the Tiny Treant.

The most precious possession of the Heaven Saber Sect was naturally the Sutra Depository. Its second most precious possession was the spirit meridian.

Everyone knew that the spirit meridian of a complete sect like the Heaven Saber Sect was very valuable, yet the spirit meridian of this sect could not be obtained easily. Firstly, one would need to know where the spirit meridian was. Secondly, one would need to have some storage equipment where they could store the spirit meridian so they could take it away.

No one knew more clearly than Di Jiu where the spirit meridian was.

However, although he had opened the Defense Array of the Heaven Saber Sect, Di Jiu did not rush to collect the spirit meridian. Instead, he went straight to the long saber on the peak. This saber was definitely a treasure. He did not have to rush to take the spirit meridian, as no one else would be able to take it away in such a short time.

When Di Jiu reached the foot of the mountain where the long saber was, he saw several people there.

“Senior Di!” When they saw Di Jiu walk over, these people rushed up to him quickly. In their eyes, Di Jiu was at least an Essence Soul Realm expert.

“Do you want this saber too?” Di Jiu asked.

One of the Golden Core cultivators quickly said, “It’s difficult to get. There is a stairway to climb up the Heaven Saber Peak, but I only got up to the 27th step before I was swept down by the saber intent.”

Di Jiu noticed a bloody scar on the Golden Core cultivator’s chest. It seemed like this was the Heaven Saber he had just mentioned.

When he looked up, he saw the three silver words on the cliffs of the mountain peaks. Heaven Saber Peak…

There were numerous stone steps that led to the peak. Each stone step was 10 meters away from the next.

Di Jiu walked over and stepped on the first step. When a weak saber Qi swept over, Di Jiu finally understood why the Golden Core cultivator had been swept away by the saber intent.

This kind of weak saber Qi was formed by saber intent. It seemed like the higher one got on the stone steps, the stronger the saber intent became.

Di Jiu suddenly felt eager to try this. His dharma treasure was a saber, so this stone stairway with strong saber intent was the best honing place for him.

Sure enough, when Di Jiu stepped on the second step, the saber Qi was almost twice as strong.

Even if the saber Qi ahead was stronger, it would not have an effect on Di Jiu. Soon, Di Jiu had climbed more than 40 steps.

When they saw Di Jiu climb 40 steps with ease, while they had fallen off at the 20th or 30th step after being hurt by the saber Qi, several Golden Core cultivators were in awe of him.

On the 49th step, Di Jiu suddenly felt some pressure.

The saber Qi had turned into solid strikes, so he had to withdraw a long saber to resist it. If he did not pay attention, he would get stabbed by saber Qi or get pushed off the steps.

Although this saber Qi could hurt him, it still couldn’t really push him off the steps.

After the 50th step, every time he went up a step, Di Jiu’s body would suffer one or two saber scars. This was because his mental strength was so powerful that when space fluctuated, he avoided it or blocked it with a long saber. Otherwise, he would have gotten slashed instead.

As he stepped on the 72nd step, an invisible saber Qi slashed directly onto his chest.

Bam! A bloody trail suddenly exploded. Di Jiu, who was extremely shocked, felt his Quintessential Essence pulsing wildly.

Boom! The invisible saber shadow collided with Di Jiu’s pulsing Quintessential Essence and smashed his bones in half. Fortunately, Di Jiu’s thick Quintessential Essence and condensed mental strength wall blocked the invisible saber shadow, so the saber shadow stopped before the galaxy meridian. Otherwise, this saber shadow alone could have killed Di Jiu instead of just push him down the steps.

Di Jiu looked at the dozens of stone steps. He knew that he could not climb to the top of the mountain to take the long saber. When the invisible saber shadow hit him, his mental strength did not even notice.

Unless his mental strength was more powerful, in order to get the saber, he had to be at least a body-tempering cultivator. Otherwise, not only would he not experience a moment of enlightenment about the saber intent, but he was also likely to fall.

Di Jiu was very decisive. When he realized that he could not get the saber, he immediately retreated.
