"Godslaying Sword?"

Ye Xiaofan gently muttered these words. For some reason, the moment he saw the Divine Sword from afar, his entire being was filled with excitement and his blood began to boil.

As a Sword Cultivator, Ye Xiaofan naturally had a unique affection for swords, and especially when he saw an awe-inspiring Divine Sword, the restlessness that grew in his bones was further magnified.

Amidst the endless Heaven-Reaching Pillars, a Divine Sword quietly floated there, as if it had dazzled through the ages. All ancient objects paled in its presence, and it was so brilliant that it dared not to be directly gazed upon.

While Ye Xiaofan was staring at the Godslaying Sword, many other worldly creatures also noticed his gaze.

"Haha, truly overestimating oneself. The Godslaying Sword is a Divine Sword, is there someone who dares to covet it?"

Many monstrous beings from rival sects looked at the figure’s fervent gaze and couldn’t help but show a mocking expression.

The Godslaying Sword is unlike those Divine Weapons found in outside ancient ruins; it is a true Divine Demon Sword. Perhaps the divine weapons unearthed from certain ancient ruins are Divine Artifacts, but they are by no means truly perfect Divine Demon Soldiers.

The Artifact Spirit of such a divine demon during its lifetime, not even a Spiritual Essence cultivator, let alone the Sword Saint himself, could take it away.

At this moment, that figure showed such fervent expression, undoubtedly a colossal joke. For a Spiritual Essence realm ant, whether they can even reach the Divine Sword is uncertain, yet they dare to covet a divine object, truly akin to an ant looking towards heaven.

Ye Xiaofan, however, paid no attention to anyone, but only stared intently at the Godslaying Sword, subconsciously conveying, "Senior Sister Luo, can you really help me obtain the Godslaying Sword and the ’Godslaying Sword Technique’? If you can, I, Ye Xiaofan, will surely repay this favor to Senior Sister tenfold in the future."

Not only did the Godslaying Sword attract him, but more importantly, the ’Godslaying Sword Technique’ could give hope to Dugu Nan.

Luo Qingxian heard and nodded firmly, taking a deep breath as she said, "I promised you once and I will fulfill it. But Ye Junior Brother, whether you can establish a connection with it depends on you."

After Luo Qingxian finished speaking, Ye Xiaofan promptly turned around and gave a slight bow to her.

During the brief exchange between the two.

It seemed Yunmo Xi could insightfully detect their conveyance, as a hint of surprise flickered in her beautiful eyes, and she couldn’t help but glance at Ye Xiaofan.

"Actually thinking of making a move on the Godslaying Sword? How...," Yunmo Xi muttered internally, somewhat surprised by their intentions. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Indeed, the young demoness, who represented half the sky of the Demonic Dao sects, could perceive Luo Qingxian and Ye Xiaofan’s conversation. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have suddenly conversed with the two when she appeared.

However, after revealing a slight expression of surprise, Yunmo Xi soon sneered with disdain. Coveting a Divine Demon item, that person truly had some ignorance, even recklessly bold.

After the brief interlude, all Hundred Sects Flying Boats continued to fly quickly, soon arriving at the Stone Pillar Forest.

Over a thousand Flying Boats stopped beneath the endless Heaven-Reaching Pillars, as all monstrous beings gazed up at the sky, equally amazed.

No wonder these were called Heaven-Reaching Pillars by the ancients, each ancient stone pillar seemingly really reaching the nine heavens, extremely awe-inspiring.

What shocked everyone further was the ancient objects floating within the Stone Pillar Forest. It wasn’t difficult to notice that beside each Heaven-Reaching Pillar floated an ancient item. Some were ancient cultivation techniques, others were supreme secret techniques, world-shaking divine pills, and various awe-inspiring divine weapons and equipment.

Beyond these, one could also see ancient pill furnaces, ancient divine cauldrons, terrifying guqin, awe-inspiring battle banners, world-shaking divine jars, and so forth.

"These are remnants left from the ancient god-demon wars, all supreme artifacts, supreme pills, supreme techniques, supreme methods, supreme arts, and supreme divine weapons."

"As we walk the Heaven-Reaching Road, as long as the test is passed, we can take away one corresponding ancient item, like passing the test of a Heaven-Reaching Pillar, then you can take away the item floating beside it."

"But remember, everyone can only take one ancient item from here. This ancient item could be an elixir, an elixir formula, a divine weapon, or a cultivation and martial technique. No matter what, you can only take one, so everyone must think carefully, choosing the one they truly desire, and beware of greed."

"These items are merely your and my great fortune. The truly terrifying opportunity lies at the end of the Heaven-Reaching Road. Don’t miss the big for the small."

"Senior Brother, what’s at the end of the Heaven-Reaching Road?"

"You’ll know when you get there."

The Hundred Sects’ Self-Slaying Realm cultivators stopped their Flying Boats, examining ahead while explaining all within to the True Self Realm’s worldly monsters.

Ye Xiaofan couldn’t help but feel slight ripples in his heart upon hearing this, because he had seen a familiar yet unfamiliar ancient item inside - a humble chessboard.

The reason it’s both familiar and unfamiliar is because Ye Xiaofan had seen such a chessboard, quite similar to the one Dugu Nan and Qi Yun had been studying daily at the South Peak, yet slightly different.

"Senior Sister Luo, what is that chessboard? I remember seeing a similar one at Master’s South Peak back then." Ye Xiaofan couldn’t help but ask.

Luo Qingxian gave it a light glance and murmured, "Enlightenment Board. Chessboards like this are among the three thousand on the Heaven-Reaching Road. What you saw at the South Peak, was what the Sword Saint took out from here, named ’Heavenly Secrets Chessboard’, also called ’Celestial Secret Disc’. It can use the ’Celestial Secret Dao’ to deduce a corner of the future, and many other things."
