The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 128 - 128 128 The Miracle Ridge

128: Chapter 128: The Miracle Ridge 128: Chapter 128: The Miracle Ridge When they arrived back in White Sheep City, the Lord of White Sheep City handed the mission scroll to Lin Bai, and prepared a banquet to entertain Lin Bai and Bai Zhiyuan.

After his long and tiring journey, Lin Bai hadn’t had the chance to eat properly, so he didn’t hurry to leave and sat down to eat some food.

After three rounds of wine.

“Lin Bai, your sword skill is so impressive, could you teach me?” Bai Zhiyuan looked at Lin Bai with anticipation.

“Uh, I haven’t taught anyone, I don’t know how to teach…” Lin Bai gave an awkward smile.

He was still a rookie who had just entered the Martial World four months ago.

He still was learning to walk, let alone teach others.

“But your sword skill is really impressive, please teach me.” Bai Zhiyuan pleaded.

During the conversation, Bai Zhiyuan ran to Lin Bai’s seat.

She had an eager look on her innocent face which made Lin Bai soften.

“Why does it feel like she’s my little sister…” Lin Bai said in his heart, somewhat distressed.

“Miss Bai, it’s not that I don’t want to teach you, but I really don’t know how.

I figured out my own sword skill through introspection, I was planning to find a master to learn from.”

Lin Bai said, giving a bitter smile.

“Young friend Lin Bai, with your current talent in sword arts, I’m afraid no one in Shenwu Kingdom could teach you anymore.

If you want to find a master, perhaps only the Miracle Ridge is left.”

The Lord of White Sheep City lamented a little.

He had trained hard all his life, but couldn’t compare to Lin Bai, a greenhorn.

The Lord of White Sheep City was extremely embarrassed.

“What is the Miracle Ridge?” asked Lin Bai, curious.

It seemed like there was no martial art sect with this name in Shenwu Kingdom.

“I know!” Bai Zhiyuan said joyfully.

“Please clarify, Miss Bai.” Lin Bai asked with a smile.

“If you promise to teach me sword skills, I’ll tell you.” Bai Zhiyuan answered with a playful smile.

“I really don’t know how to teach, how about this, we will spar instead.

I will fight my hardest, how much you can understand from my sword skills will depend on your own aptitude and luck.

What do you say?”

Lin Bai asked with a smile.

“Great, great.” Bai Zhiyuan nodded happily.

“Then tell me what the Miracle Ridge is?” Lin Bai asked curiously.

Bai Zhiyuan cleared her throat and seriously said, “Have you ever heard the legend that once a divine spine descended from the heavens and landed in the Territory of All Nations?”

Lin Bai shook his head slightly, he hadn’t heard of this legend.

“Once upon a time, a legend circulated within the Territory of All Nations: a god’s spine fell in the center of the territory, transformed into a continuous mountain range, dividing the Territory of All Nations in half.

This is the origin of the Miracle Ridge!”

“But what does this have to do with me finding a master to learn from?” Lin Bai asked curiously.

With slight irritation, Bai Zhiyuan gave Lin Bai a glance,”The Miracle Ridge splits the Territory of All Nations into Lingdong’s 700 states and Lingnan’s 72 states.

Our current Shenwu Kingdom belongs to Lingdong’s 700 states.”

“As everyone knows, the most powerful Martial Arts Sacred Land in the Territory of All Nations is in Lingnan’s 72 states.”

“So for thousands of years, countless martial artists have attempted to cross the Miracle Ridge to the 72 states of Lingnan.

However, in the Miracle Ridge, there is a Primordial World, where demon beasts that surpass the Divine Elixir Realm reside, it’s incredibly dangerous and only the martial artists of the Divine Elixir Realm can pass.”

“Therefore, many martial artists who lack cultivation strength are unable to leave the Primordial World so they stay on the Miracle Ridge.

They practice and increase their power while trying to figure out a way to cross the Primordial World.”

“Over time, the Miracle Ridge evolved into an academy, with many masters establishing sects.”

“Five-hundred years ago, a Beast Tide erupted on the Miracle Ridge.

The demon beasts in the Primordial World attempted to rush out and claim Lingdong’s 700 states as their own.”

“At that time, all the sects on the Miracle Ridge united to resist the Beast Tide.

After their victory, the Miracle Ridge declared to Lingdong’s 700 states the establishment of the Academy of the Miracle Ridge.

Any martial artist who was a part of the Heaven Martial Realm could come to the Academy of the Miracle Ridge to cultivate.”

“To this day, the Academy of the Miracle Ridge has become the true hegemony in Lingdong’s 700 states, with the lowest cultivation realm within the academy being that of the Divine Elixir Realm.”

“The Divine Elixir Realm, that’s on par with the Ten Kings of Shenwu in Shenwu Kingdom.”

“Without exaggeration,” Bai Zhiyuan said with a smile, “Any warrior that comes out of the Miracle Ridge can easily rule over the Shenwu Kingdom.”

Upon hearing Bai Zhiyuan’s explanation, Lin Bai was internally shocked but marvelled at the existence of such a sacred place in this world!

“If you wish to train on the Miracle Ridge, you must have at least the cultivation of the Heaven Martial Realm Ninth Layer.

Otherwise, you won’t even see the gate of the Miracle Ridge,” Bai Zhiyuan added after she finished speaking.

“If I have the time, I must definitely visit such a place,” remarked Lin Bai with a faint smile.

But going to the Miracle Ridge was an undeniable necessity for Lin Bai.

If Lin Bai wanted to leave the Lingdong 700 States in search of Lin Duo, the first place he must visit was the Miracle Ridge in order to leave the Primordial World and proceed to the Lingnan 72 States.

“Alright, alright, I’ve told you everything.

Can we have a spar now?” Bai Zhiyuan looked at Lin Bai with anticipation in her eyes.

“Sure, let’s do this.”

Lin Bai stood up from his seat and walked to a more spacious area outside the living room.

“Ha ha, I am fortunate today to witness a martial arts competition between two sword art geniuses.

It’s an honor,” said the Lord of White Sheep City, looking excited as he brought his wine cup out, settled down on the steps, and carefully watched Lin Bai and Bai Zhiyuan.

“I’m making my move!” reminded Bai Zhiyuan with a grin.

“Go ahead!”

Lin Bai replied with a light chuckle.

“Behold the Sword!

Fire Tree Silver Flower!”

Bai Zhiyuan unsheathed her fourth-grade spirit weapon – the treasure sword.

The blade immediately filled with a red glow.

With one strike, a warm sensation enveloped Lin Bai’s face.

With a subtle smile, Lin Bai drew his Sinister Wind Sword, struck back and a fierce battle with Bai Zhiyuan ensued!

Both of them moved back and forth, tangled for hundreds of moves, but the victory was yet undecided.

Sitting on the steps, the Lord of White Sheep City was stunned.

He never expected the competition between these two to be so exciting and intense.

“If this weren’t a friendly match but a fight to the death, Miss Bai would have died a thousand times over under Lin Bai’s sword,” the City Lord laughed bitterly.

Although the City Lord was not highly skilled, he had a discerning eye.

He recognized at a glance that Lin Bai was merely indulging Bai Zhiyuan.

If Lin Bai were serious, Bai Zhiyuan would have died countless times.

Boom!

Lin Bai’s sword stroke sent Bai Zhiyuan flying away.

Bai Zhiyuan’s face turned red and she was panting heavily.

She was completely fatigued and no longer had the strength to continue the fight.

“Let’s stop here,” Bai Zhiyuan said lightly, chuckling.

“Did you understand me?” Lin Bai curiously asked.

“A little bit,” Bai Zhiyuan replied, nodding happily.

With a faint smile, Lin Bai said, “Alright then.

Since we have such a great rapport today, I’ll show you my skills.”

“Miss Bai, I’ll showcase my Sword Intention.

How much you can perceive is up to your own fortune!” Lin Bai said lightly, smiling.

“Sword Intention!” The Lord of White Sheep City was so alarmed that he crushed the wine glass in his hand.

“What!

You can use Sword Intention?” Bai Zhiyuan exclaimed in surprise.
