Chapter 229 - Skyfall, Hundreds Of Swords In The Air (1/2)

Receiving a divine ability took much longer than receiving a sword technique.

The massive wave of memories flowed into Zhou Xuanji’s mind, making him feel as if his head was going to burst.

A gust of wind wrapped around his body, and sensing these abnormalities, the others turned to look over.

“What’s Revered Teacher doing? Breaking through?” Xiao Jinghong asked out of curiosity. Zhou Xuanji’s cultivation had far surpassed his now, making it so that he could not see through his cultivation.

Daoya Old Man said in surprise, “No, he’s not breaking through; he seems to have gained sudden enlightenment.”

Sudden enlightenment?

Everyone else crowded over. Zhou Xuanji’s talent was monstrous enough already, and now just by sitting down he could gain sudden enlightenment?

Wasn’t this a bit too discouraging for the others?

“Today, Xuanji is 24 years old,” Jiang Xue said calmly, causing the others’ eyes to light up.

Every time it was Zhou Xuanji’s birthday, he would obtain new swords and sword techniques.

Even though they did not understand why, they knew that Zhou Xuanji was once again going to become stronger.

They started to wait in anticipation.

“Old man, how long until we reach Skyfall?” The little black snake, who was on a tree, asked in a very discourteous tone.

Daoya Old Man replied, “I estimate that we’ll be able to arrive in about half a month. Don’t be too scared when we arrive at Skyfall.”

When he mentioned Skyfall, a look of veneration appeared in his eyes.

After all, that was one of the Northern Wilderness’ tallest mountains.

The place closest to the sky!

The little black snake looked quite disdainful but did not continue to ask anything.

An hour later, Zhou Xuanji suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes seemed to give off a radiant light.

The air around him seemed to have completely changed.

Everyone looked over, and Jiang Xue smiled as she said, “Xuanji, happy 24th birthday!”

This was something Zhou Xuanji had taught her – whenever it was someone’s birthday, they would congratulate them.

“Same for you, happy 28th birthday,” Zhou Xuanji said as he smiled and got up, but in response, Jiang Xue rolled her eyes in annoyance.

Girls were forever 18!

After speaking, Zhou Xuanji was quite amazed; this girl was already 28 years old.

On earth, she would be considered an old maid, but in the Northern Wilderness, she was still considered a young girl.

Of course, regarding this girl’s personality, she was not very mature.

“Master, please show us the ability,” Zhao Congjian said excitedly. It was definitely a new sword technique.

In his eyes, Zhou Xuanji was a treasure trove, and had all kinds of sword techniques that he wanted to learn.

However, without the Supreme Legendary Sword System, despite having great talent, he could only train very slowly.

Zhou Xuanji gave a mysterious smile and said, “Maybe in the future. Let’s head on.”

Sword Master Haki was able to greatly increase his control over all his swords.

Even though his cultivation did not increase, his spirit energy had greatly increased. Adding on the divine ability, his overall strength completely eclipsed his strength from before.

Seeing that he was not willing to say anything, the others did not press him and they continued on their way towards Skyfall.

As they travelled, they encountered more and more mountains, and also many demons. These demons became stronger and stronger, and the group felt that they were venturing into demon territory.

Among the continuous mountain range and the rising and falling forests, a massive mountain stood among the clouds and seemed to connect the heavens and earth.

Skyfall!

In front of this massive mountain, all of the other mountains seemed incredibly small, like a few sprouts surrounding a gigantic tree that reached the sky.

Skyfall covered over 100 miles, and even though it became more and more narrow the further up it went, it did not look conical and instead looked like a heavenly pillar that sunk into the clouds. It was difficult to see just how tall Skyfall was with one’s naked eyes.

Rumble…

The ground suddenly trembled as countless demons rushed out from a forest. There was an army of thousands of soldiers and horses, and they were extremely loud.
