Chapter 175: Chapter 152: The Ancient Tomb Appears - Part 2
```
"In that case, even when facing the top sword cultivators from the three great dynasties at the Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Tournament, he will definitely be able to compete with them!"
"Over the years, the Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Tournament has always been dominated by the sword cultivators from the three great dynasties. Our thirteen countries of the Southern Heavens haven't seen anyone claim first place in a long time. Ye Chen just might have that chance!"
As Yu, with dreams filling her beautiful eyes, pondered this, Ye Chen opened his eyes amid the Rosy Cloud Swords suspended around him.
The moment he opened his eyes, the Rosy Cloud Swords instantly turned into streams of air and dispersed without a trace, and seeing Yu's gaze turn towards him, he smiled at her and then entered into the comprehension of the second Sword Intent Law Bead.
Not long after Yu's shock had subsided, on the other side, Jiang Yao also quickly completed her cultivation of the first Sword Intent Law Bead!
When the girl opened her eyes while the Sword of True Qi suspended around her body radiated with unstoppable blazing sunlight, Yu was left utterly speechless.
Her junior brother and sister were simply too formidable!
So formidable that even as an elder sister who dedicated her whole mind to sword cultivation, she felt quite ashamed.
Turning to look at Yu Luoxuan nearby, Yu let out an exasperated sigh, "My sister still can't compare to those two. The two of them are the true pride of Snowdrift Peak, the true pride of our Taixuan Sect!"
"Even compared to the geniuses from fifth-ranking sects or even fourth-ranking sects, the two of them absolutely do not pale in comparison!"
The first day's six hours of cultivating sword intents passed quickly.
At the end of this first day of cultivation, Yu Luoxuan had yet to achieve anything, but Jiang Yao had already comprehended four Sword Intent Law Beads.
And Ye Chen, the number of Sword Intent Law Beads he had comprehended, had even reached an astonishing seven, exceeding over half of the total thirteen Sword Intent Law Beads!
When sending Ye Chen and Jiang Yao out of the courtyard, Yu was even ready to start teaching them how to construct sword formations on the second and third days!
In the time that followed, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao would come to Yu's place every day to cultivate sword formations.
In addition to the six hours spent on cultivating sword formations, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao would cultivate together during the remaining time, stroll around the Taixuan Sect to relax, and sometimes even ride a giant fire sparrow to leave the Taixuan Sect and explore the surrounding areas.
During these days, the relationship between Ye Chen and Jiang Yao grew closer and closer.
Besides the two of them, the golden monkey would also often come out of the Heaven Spirit Ring to play in the Taixuan Sect. The first time Jiang Yao saw the golden monkey, she was extremely fond of the palm-sized, lively creature, and even considered the idea of finding a mystical spirit pet just like Ye Chen had.
Time passed unnoticed, and before he knew it, Ye Chen had already been at the Taixuan Sect for over a month.
In that month, Ye Chen had smoothly mastered the "Thunderlight Sword Formation" and the "Flash Kill Sword Formation," two types of low-tier sword formations, and had also entered into the comprehension of the third low-tier sword formation.
And Jiang Yao was not far behind; as the sword intents she comprehended grew in number, so too did her speed of comprehension increase. Eventually, just like Ye Chen, she also mastered these two sword formations.
Even Yu Luoxuan, although not reaching the level of controlling sword formations like the other two, had successfully mastered three types of first-tier sword intents and finally stepped into the world of sword cultivator martial skills.
Ye Chen had thought that the life before attending the Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Tournament for eight months would pass in such days when a sudden incident abruptly occurred, disrupting his peaceful cultivation life!
...
The Demon Burial Abyss is the largest abyss in the Heavenly Wind Kingdom.
This abyss stretches for hundreds of miles, is seven to eight miles wide, and its depth is immeasurable. The entire abyss is pitch-black, filled with violently blowing fierce winds.
```
Rumors had it that this abyss was a chasm created by the clash of two Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouses during the great battle between the thirteen countries of the southern sky and the ten great demon sects of the western wastelands thousands of years ago!
In the subsequent millennia of warfare, this abyss served as the final resting place for the deceased demon cultivators of the ten great demon sects of the western wastelands; the corpses of any demon cultivators who died within the Heavenly Wind Kingdom were all thrown into its depths.
Thus, the abyss came to be known as the "Demon Burial Abyss"!
Legend has it that over the past few thousand years, the number of corpses from the ten great demon sects thrown into the Demon Burial Abyss might have exceeded one hundred thousand, yet no trace of the chasm being filled in was visible, which speaks to its unfathomable depth.
Powerful cultivators in the late stages of the Rotating Pill Realm once descended into this abyss, and even after sinking thousands of zhang, they still couldn't see the bottom of the Demon Burial Abyss.
The deeper they went, the more terrifying the remnants of the Heavenly Saint battles became, the gusts of primeval energy grew fiercer and even those late-stage Rotating Pill Realm experts dared not venture further down.
As a place for burying demon cultivator corpses, the cultivators from the thirteen countries of the southern sky gradually ceased to tread upon this territory, which eventually turned into the domain of demon beasts, the dominion of great demons.
There were even rumors that in the Demon Burial Abyss lived a Demon King with strength equivalent to a Rotating Pill Realm cultivator!
The Demon Burial Abyss gradually became known as the Abyss of Demon Beasts!
After the demon beasts occupied the Demon Burial Abyss, the reason for the cultivators from the thirteen countries of the southern sky to enter the abyss had become that of hunting these beasts.
Over thirty days had passed since Ye Chen entered the Taixuan Sect when, one day, a disciple from the "Cloud Sky Sect," a fifth-ranked major sect in the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, was pursuing a flying bat within the abyss and suddenly stumbled into an extremely secret cave below.
Upon entering the cave and venturing deeper, the Spirit Sea Realm disciple grew increasingly apprehensive.
To his shock, he found that instead of extending inward, the cave spiraled downwards, and after descending over a thousand zhang, the Spirit Sea Realm disciple discovered three pitch-dark gigantic coffins deep within the cave.
Each of the three pitch-dark coffins was seven to eight zhang long and three to four zhang wide, sealed tightly shut, and despite the disciple's efforts to pry them open, he could not make them budge in the slightest.
In the end, the Spirit Sea Realm disciple found a huge turning disk on the wall beside the three coffins.
A burial site of antiquity!
The turning disk might just be the key to unlocking this ancient burial site!
This thought immediately sprang to the Spirit Sea Realm disciple's mind.
As cultivators, who wouldn't want to enter a mysterious site of ruins, to encounter serendipities and opportunities?
An ancient burial site could very likely hold great fortunes!
Unable to resist, the disciple reached out to twist the massive disk. As soon as his hand made contact, endless black mist instantly enveloped him completely.
In that moment, the Spirit Sea Realm cultivator dissipated into smoke.
And just as the Spirit Sea Realm cultivator vanished, the three pitch-dark gigantic coffins emitted endless light.
This boundless light even pierced through the thousand-zhang-deep cave, through the pitch-black Demon Burial Deep Abyss, erupting towards the sky.
This astonishing phenomenon caught the attention of countless cultivators nearby the Demon Burial Abyss, and even garnered the notice of immensely powerful Rotating Pill Realm experts.
One day later, all of the Rotating Pill Realm experts in the entire Heavenly Wind Kingdom had gathered outside the Demon Burial Abyss.
Even Fairy Jia Luo, the strongest in the Taixuan Sect, was among them.
