Chapter 1455: Chapter 1455: I Said, Don’t Seek Sword Cultivators to Spar With Me Chapter 1455: Chapter 1455: I Said, Don’t Seek Sword Cultivators to Spar With Me Surrounded by a group of watchful eyes, Ye Qiubai ascended the mountain alongside Huo Shuyun and the muscular man.

Huo Shuyun glanced at Ye Qiubai, then turned to the muscular man and asked, “Commander Wei, are you really sure we can trust him? In such a peculiar time, his sudden appearance just doesn’t feel right.”

Commander Wei responded indifferently, “Personally, I don’t think he is from any other branch. I must know anyone who has such profound understanding of the Fire Dao Law. However, special times require special measures, and we only know after testing.”

“How do you plan on testing him?” Huo Shuyun asked, slightly startled.

Commander Wei let out a light laugh, “The first test will determine whether he is from another branch or not. Have you forgotten that although our Shenxuan Fire Sect has nine branches, we all practice the same cultivation techniques?”

Divine Fire Technique.

The Shenxuan Fire Sect was founded upon the Shenxuan Fire Tree, and the cultivation techniques were likewise based on the Shenxuan Fire Tree.

Realizing this, Huo Shuyun had a sudden epiphany.

“Then why mention three tests?” she inquired.

Commander Wei sneered, “The next two tests are to challenge his strength. Not just anyone can join our Shenxuan Fire Sect.”

…

The group reached the volcano’s summit under the stares of many.

Commander Wei stopped and turned to look back at Ye Qiubai, saying, “Come forward.”

Ye Qiubai complied, walking up beside Commander Wei and gazing down into the crater, where boiling lava churned. The heat was so intense that anyone below the Ancestral Realm or insufficiently versed in the Fire Dao Law would perish without a trace if they fell.

Standing at the edge, Ye Qiubai could feel the heat wave hit him, causing a burning sensation on his skin.

Commander Wei explained, “This volcano is called Black Profound Volcano. As for the first test, simply release your cultivation techniques and your understanding of the Fire Dao Law here. If you truly belong to the Shenxuan Fire Sect, the flame you produce will interact with the volcanic lava.”

Each volcano’s lava was influenced by the Shenxuan Fire Tree.

Ye Qiubai didn’t ask further.

A sword intent, filled with the essence of endless life, emanated from his body.

Primordial Sword Scripture!

Commander Wei was momentarily stunned.

Also a sword cultivator?

From what he knew, although the nine branches of the Shenxuan Fire Sect included sword cultivators, they practiced Sword Dao over the foundation of the Divine Fire Technique, but this endless essence was something he had never encountered!

Moreover, how many people on the entire Qingming Continent could cultivate such an essence?

Others relaxed their brows slightly as they sensed this aura.

Although the essence of endless life was astonishing, it preliminarily confirmed that Ye Qiubai was not from another branch.

Simultaneously, Ye Qiubai released a strand of ordinary flame imbued with Fire Dao Law.

However, it failed to cause any disturbance in the churning lava below, which continued to bubble and boil as usual.

Seeing this, Commander Wei’s stern face broke into a smile, “Good, you’ve passed the first test. The second test involves sparring with one of our own, and it just so happens we have a Commander who is also a sword cultivator.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiubai hesitated and said, “Perhaps it’s better not to arrange for a sword cultivator to spar with me…”

Commander Wei chuckled, “What, not confident in your Sword Dao?”

Ye Qiubai thought for a moment, then resignedly contemplated, “Since you’ve said as much, there’s no point in persuading further… let’s just fight then…”

While they spoke, no one noticed that the central Shenxuan Fire Tree seemed to burn more vigorously, coinciding precisely with the moment Ye Qiubai had released his flame.

Soon, a man dressed in a white robe adorned with patterned flames approached.

Commander Wei smiled and said, “This is Commander Ren, the strongest sword cultivator among our Black Fire lineage.”

“I see you are both at the Intermediate Stage of the Ancestral Realm. Why don’t you two have a go?”

Commander Ren frowned slightly, glancing at Commander Wei as if questioning if this person was reliable.

Commander Wei whispered reassuringly, “Don’t worry, we’ve already tested him, and he indeed isn’t from another branch.”

The commander nodded and drew out a fiery-red three-foot-long blade, addressing Ye Qiubai, “The blade has no eyes, be careful, sir.”

Ye Qiubai nodded and drew out his Yuncang Sword.

When he saw the Yuncang Sword, the commander’s eyes widened slightly, filled with envy.

Ye Qiubai realized that the other party was concerned about the level of the Yuncang Sword, so he immediately put it away and took out the Aged Gold Divine Sword.

Upon seeing this, the commander’s look towards Ye Qiubai couldn’t help but carry a hint of approval.

“Not bad, he’s a qualified sword cultivator.”

Ye Qiubai let out a light laugh, “Make your move.”

Hearing this, the commander didn’t hold back—the sword in his hand instantly became enveloped in flames!

As he charged towards Ye Qiubai, the air around him ignited as well!

The drastically rising temperature made those of a lower realm around reluctantly take quick steps back.

“The commander’s Divine Fire Sword Dao has improved again! He has completely mastered the Tao Rule of Sword.”

“I wonder to what extent he can match the commander.”

Commander Wei was intently watching Ye Qiubai, wanting to see just how strong he really was.

Though they were of the same realm.

Yet, with his Divine Fire Sword Dao, the commander rarely had equals within the same realm!

However, in contrast, Ye Qiubai made no movements, not even lifting the sword in his hand.

What was this tactic?

Just when the commander also frowned in confusion.

Ye Qiubai’s body slightly shuddered, and a massive burst of sword qi erupted from his body!

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the sword qi enveloped the entire volcano crater!

The Sword Domain was established!

As the commander felt the omnipresent sword intent around him, his face drastically changed!

The sword in his hand began to tremble uncontrollably at this moment.

His own Sword Dao seemed to be completely suppressed by Ye Qiubai at this moment!

This was… origin power!

Before the commander could ponder further, Ye Qiubai slashed out with his sword.

A slashing move headed straight for the commander!

Not only that, the massive sword qi within the Sword Domain also condensed into several three-foot-long blades, flying towards the commander from all directions!

The commander hurriedly switched from attack to defense, his fiery-red longsword dancing.

A fiery whirlwind, carried by the sword qi, erupted from his body into the sky!

At this moment, the slashing move and the several three-foot-long blades also struck the fiery whirlwind.

The offensive was over in a flash.

The fiery whirlwind exploded outward.

The commander was also forced to retreat explosively!

His white robe had been pierced through several times, fresh blood oozing out and staining the fabric red.

“To have grasped origin power at such a realm, and to possess such a unique domain…” the commander furrowed his brow.

His own Sword Dao couldn’t be fully executed, as if it were completely subordinate to Ye Qiubai’s Sword Dao!

Ye Qiubai said helplessly, “I did say… don’t ask sword cultivators to spar with me…”
