Chapter 98: Chapter 98: The people at the foot of the mountain are also worthy of challenging the gods above!

The vastness of heaven and earth was boundless, and to transcend it was a daunting task.

Running, leaping, flying, teleporting...

These methods were endless.

But in the end, they would all touch upon the Dao of heaven and earth.

And this innate Dao skill was about cultivating the Dao of heaven and earth!

It condensed the universe beneath one’s feet, shrinking the distance to mere inches.

With one step, one could reach the ends of the earth.

"This is a Dao skill comparable to teleportation, even more marvelous than it!" Yang Yan thought to himself.

*He found it effortless to comprehend this innate Dao skill and soon mastered it.*

*With his deepening understanding of the Dao of heaven and earth in the future, he would master the art of Near and Far.*

*With each step, the distance covered would grow ever farther.*

"Host, would you like to cultivate the King’s Sword Technique?"

It was the Cultivation Technique rewarded when he broke through the Second Level of the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

*Yang Yan scanned through the pages of the technique, knowing it followed the path of the Strongest Sword Dao, just like previous rewards.*

*The path of the Strongest Sword Dao taken by this technique was different from past techniques.*

"Cultivate!"

*He quietly comprehended the conception within the technique, merging it with himself.*

He lifted his hand, and strands of Sword Qi gathered.

They manifested before him, neatly arranged.

They resembled soldiers standing in formation before his eyes!

And he was like a king, commanding infinite Sword Qi.

"I am like a king, a king among swords.

I am also the king of Sword Qi, able to control them with ease," Yang Yan thought to himself.

*His eyes slowly opened.*

"This technique is fascinating, not only allowing me to command my own sword but also to command others’ swords!"

This sword technique turned oneself into the King of Swords, commanding all swords in the world!

"Once mastered, any sword before me must submit to my control," he contemplated.

*Yang Yan’s gaze focused.*

"In the future, not only will any sword be unable to strike but their swords will also heed my command!"

With a wave of his hand, the Sword Qi before him vanished.

A sword appeared in his hand!

This sword was about ten centimeters long, roughly the length of his palm.

"Zhi Chi Sword!"

Another reward from the system!

Although this sword appeared small, once wielded, it was anything but ordinary.

Yang Yan stored this sword in the secret realm carved from his left arm, nurturing it with Profound Qi.

*"This sword is a killing move!"*

*It would not easily reveal itself!*

Two days later!

At seventy-nine thousand steps, Ao Tian opened his eyes.

"I’ve reached my limit!" he said.

Reaching this point, Ao Tian could no longer advance.

*The Dao Realm contained within the upper stairs was beyond his comprehension.*

*Forcing his way up would only harm himself, with no benefit.*

Behind him, others also opened their eyes.

They too had reached their limits.

"Master, we have finished comprehending, please issue your orders!" Li Wan Hua bowed and said.

Yang Yan descended, and the stairs behind him vanished.

"Descend!"

"Yes, following master’s orders."

In front of him, Leng Bi Yue and Xue Ni Chang did not linger.

They descended the steps together, at sixty-six thousand levels.

Yang Yan saw Chen Yuan, Jing Yin, and Jingxin.

Their talents were not as high as those of Leng Bi Yue and Xue Ni Chang.

Reaching sixty-six thousand was already quite impressive.

"Master!" Seeing Yang Yan, they bowed and shouted.

Yang Yan nodded slightly.

Jing Yin, Jingxin, Chen Yuan, and the others followed the crowd down Heavenly Saint Mountain.

At fifty-four thousand levels, they saw many cultivators.

Some of these cultivators still wanted to move forward, while others were heading toward the foot of Heavenly Saint Mountain.

By now, they understood their own abilities and knew they could not reach the summit.

When these cultivators saw Little Sword God Ao Tian, Kong Xuan, and then Yang Yan.

Observing the disappearing steps of Yang Yan the Saintess, each understood.

It was that figure with the Divine Sword, who had gained the inheritance of the Saint Emperor.

"He reached the summit and obtained the inheritance of the Saint Emperor!"

"Who is he? Why haven’t I seen him before?"

"What genius could reach the summit? Where is Young Master Jueqing?"

Each cultivator’s heart brimmed with curiosity.

"Is he the one who enslaved Little Sword God Ao Tian, Kong Xuan, and Hua Tianxue?" a cultivator boldly speculated.

Immediately, many cultivators echoed this sentiment.

"It’s extremely likely him; if it were someone else, we’d surely have seen them!"

"No wonder Ao Tian and the others were enslaved by him; turns out his talent is so high!"

"No surprise that such an extraordinarily talented genius can suppress Ao Tian and the others!"

They looked at Yang Yan with newfound respect, following the crowd down the mountain.

At forty thousand steps, Yang Yan saw Qing Feng and Qing Yun.

"Master!"

The two faced Yang Yan, feeling ashamed.

"Master, we’re sorry we couldn’t climb higher." They said with their heads lowered.

*Yang Yan knew their abilities and understood that reaching this height was their limit.*

*Moreover, the two were not meant for combat but for exploring ancient tombs and managing feng shui.*

*In the future, when he established his Dynasty and Emperor Dynasty, the two would be of great use!*

"I am already very pleased that you made it this far," he said.

Qing Feng and Qing Yun knelt on the ground.

"Thank you for your generosity, master!"

"Rise."

"Yes."

Qing Feng and Qing Yun walked over to Chen Yuan, joining the others to descend the mountain.

At thirty thousand levels, Yang Yan saw the exhausted Wudao Tian.

Their opponent sat on the stairs with a faint white glow on them.

"Master, I apologize!" Sensing Yang Yan’s arrival, Wudao Tian prostrated themselves on the ground.

*Yang Yan understood their opponent’s strength even more.*

*Reaching this point, Wudao Tian must have exerted all their effort.*

"You’ve given your all to get this far!" Yang Yan said calmly.

Wudao Tian’s forehead touched the ground.

"Thank you for your understanding, master!"

He relaxed.

At twenty thousand levels, there were many cultivators present.

Many cultivators had just arrived.

"What? Why did the steps of Heavenly Saint Mountain disappear?" a cultivator exclaimed while looking upward.

The other cultivators looked over and noticed Yang Yan.

"He, he reached the summit and obtained the inheritance of the Saint Emperor!"

Those who knew what happened stared excitedly at Yang Yan.

Each of them was eager to try!

This made many descending cultivators shake their heads continuously.

"These people are too reckless, too overconfident!"

Boom!

On the twenty-thousandth level, a lean cultivator stared at Yang Yan.

Upon hearing the words spoken by neighboring cultivators, he extended a hand, pointing at Yang Yan.

"I want a duel with you!"

In an instant, a silence fell over the area, followed by the laughter of several cultivators.

"He wants to challenge the summit-reacher, what’s he thinking!"

"He’s even more reckless than the reckless ones!"

"Just reaching twenty thousand levels and daring to challenge a supreme genius who tread upon ninety thousand levels, he’s insane!"

The lean cultivator ignored the surrounding laughter.

"Come, let me see you..." he began, but his words were cut off by a descending Sword Qi.

It was Ao Tian who made the move!

The lean cultivator quickly activated Profound Qi, raised both palms, and blocked.

"Sky Palm!"

Profound Qi transformed into two palm imprints!

Poof!

With a noise, the Sword Qi casually sliced through the palm imprints formed from Profound Qi.

The lean cultivator hadn’t even reacted before the Sword Qi struck him down.

"Those from the bottom of the mountain dare to challenge the mountain deity!" Ao Tian said coldly and emotionlessly.

"If anyone wishes to challenge my master, step forth!

I, Ao Tian, am willing to face any challenger on behalf of my master!"

He then looked around and declared.
