The Sovereign’s Ascension

n Yun nodded his head in acknowledgement and continued, “Are you alright? That brat is unreasonable…”

“I’m fine because I’m also pretty unreasonable myself.
You just don’t know,” smiled Luo Hua.

Lin Yun’s eyes flashed because he knew that Luo Hua’s origin was more complex than being a simple descendant of a saint clan.
But since Luo Hua didn’t tell him much, he didn’t ask.

Two days later, the Sword Assembly finally began as Lin Yun appeared at the destination along with Bai Ting and Luo Hua.
The scale of the Sword Assembly was classified.
The Sword Assembly was held annually in the Hidden Sword Pavilion, while the bigger ones in the Hidden Sword Manor would only be held every four years.

Normally speaking, the smaller Sword Assembly would envelop the surrounding prefectures, while the bigger one was a huge event in the entire Kunlun Realm for all swordsmen.
But the Azure Rock Hidden Sword Pavilion’s Sword Assembly wasn’t simple this time because a lot of swordsmen were attracted by the sword forged by the pavilion master.

A small majority of swordsmen in the Ancient Barren Domain were here.
They wanted to suppress all the participants and take the sword.
Then again, Lin Yun didn’t have a good impression of the assembly after what happened with the little miss.

There were no other rules in the Sword Assembly except that everyone had to seal their cultivation to the Heavenly Soul Realm.
It was a way to ensure that everyone would compete with only their swordsmanship.

The presiding judge came from a huge clan in the Ancient Barren Domain, so he could be a fair third party.
As for the event, it was held in the Feng Clan’s main courtyard, which was also where the Hidden Sword Pavilion was located.
The entire courtyard looked grand and massive, as huge palaces and chains connected to cauldrons could be seen everywhere.

Swordsmen were heading towards the Hidden Sword Pavilion from various directions of the city.
Just when Lin Yun’s party was about to reach the entrance of the Feng Clan’s courtyard, a party walked towards them.

But Lin Yun merely glanced and then ignored them.
He had no idea where they got the invitation from.

The other party was led by Yan Zijing.
He looked well as if he wasn’t stepped on by Lin Yun.
In fact, he emitted a proud aura as if he wasn’t beaten by Lin Yun.

“What a coincidence.” Yan Zijing smiled with his eyes squinted, “I never expected you to have such a terrifying physique.
But we’re only competing in swords today, and I hope that you won’t reject my challenge.”

Lin Yun continued to ignore him, which made Yan Zijing furious, “You’re going to die today.
You won’t be able to do anything later!”

“Who is he?” Bai Ting asked.

“Probably a dog that someone forgot to leash,” said Lin Yun and they headed towards the Feng Clan’s field.
Then, he walked towards the Azure Rock Field, splitting up with Luo Hua.

Bai Ting and Luo Hua didn’t have an invitation, so they could only go to the observation stand.
When Lin Yun handed over his invitation and reported his name, the guard looked at Lin Yun deeply, “So you’re Lin Yun! I believe a lot of people will be interested in you.
Come in!”

They then ignored Lin Yun, but this made Lin Yun frown because he felt like something wasn’t right.
He couldn’t understand why the guard said many people were interested in him.

When Lin Yun entered the field, he was greeted by a shocking scene.
A massive lake was at the center of the field that had a gigantic cauldron that contained a gigantic sword.

There were eight shackles on the hilt of the gigantic sword and the shackles were connected to statues of ominous beasts.
Lin Yun felt something familiar about this scene and instantly thought about the sword in his body.

He immediately felt a chill run down his spine because everything looked so weird.
There were also those who were shocked by this scene, and they would be fighting on the stage above the statues later.
The stage was also protected with an array, so it was more than enough for them to fight.

“Hehe.
Is this your first time seeing the Eight Ominous Soul Locking Array? This is just an imitation.
The genuine one is in the Hidden Sword Manor.” A youth smiled beside Lin Yun as that youth sat down.

The Eight Ominous Soul Locking Array? Lin Yun glanced at the youth beside him and also sat down before he asked, “Do you know anything about it?”

When that youth heard what Lin Yun said, his eyes immediately lit up with excitement, and shared his knowledge, “I’m Ye Feifan.
You’re looking at the right person if you want to know more about the Eight Ominous Soul Locking Array because even those from the Hidden Sword Pavilion might not know as much as me.”

“Go ahead,” replied Lin Yun.

“Then listen carefully.
This is a secret that not even Dragon Pulse Realm experts knew about,” smiled Ye Feifan.
