The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 250 - 249: Imperial Hunting Garden

Chapter 250: Chapter 249: Imperial Hunting Garden

Lin Bai, Bai Xiaoxiao, Lu Yuan, Bai Zhiyuan, a team of four, divided the twenty spirit pearls they had obtained equally, each person receiving five.

Lin Bai held the five Spirit Pearls in his hand, feeling the pouring Spirit Qi inside, and spoke excitedly, "These five Spirit Pearls are enough for me to break through to the Heaven Martial Realm."

"With the cultivation of the Heaven Martial Realm, I will fear no one in the Imperial Hunting Garden."

Lin Bai’s current cultivation level, which was the ninth level of the Earth Martial Realm, could compete with the third layer of the Heaven Martial Realm, but killing someone of the third layer of the Heaven Martial Realm would be quite challenging.

However, if Lin Bai managed to break through to the first layer of the Heaven Martial Realm, his fighting ability would reach an entirely new level.

Bai Huatian, having witnessed this scene, immediately stood up and announced, "Fellow Taoists, the Heaven Worship Ceremony is over, and the Imperial Hunting Garden is next."

"Everyone knows where the Imperial Hunting Garden is, right?"

"Outside the Imperial Capital lies the Qitian Mountain Range, which is one of the nine demon beast paradises within the Shenwu Kingdom, home to demon beasts cultivating at or above the Heaven Martial Realm."

"The Qitian Mountain Range is incredibly dangerous, so proceed with caution."

"The hunting time is one day. At dusk today, after you kill the demon beasts, you can store them in your storage bags and exchange them according to the cultivation realm of the beasts for corresponding points. These points can then be used to exchange for rare treasures from the reward pool."

"A Demon Beast of the first level of Earth Martial Realm is worth a thousand points."

"A Demon Beast of the second level of Earth Martial Realm is worth two thousand points."

"..."

"A Demon Beast of the ninth level of Earth Martial Realm is worth nine thousand points."

"A Demon Beast of the first layer of Heaven Martial Realm is worth ten thousand points."

"A Demon Beast of the second layer of Heaven Martial Realm is worth twenty thousand points."

"..."

"A Demon Beast of the ninth layer of Heaven Martial Realm is worth ninety thousand points."

"The hunt ends when the sun sets today. The Imperial Banquet begins after nightfall. Warriors participating in the Imperial Hunting Garden must return before sunset to exchange their points, otherwise, they won’t be able to do so after dark."

"At the Imperial Banquet, all warriors need to entertain themselves with martial arts competitions. If you defeat your opponent, you take all the points your opponent has."

"However, I want to remind you that this Year-end Tail Sacrifice is only for warriors who are under the bone age of twenty. Even if you kill many demon beasts, if you are over twenty, you won’t be able to exchange them for points."

"Now, if you’re ready, you can proceed to the Qitian Mountain Range."

"Anyone with a bone age under twenty can go."

"At dusk, exchange your points outside the central Royal City."

On his Dragon Throne, Bai Huatian clearly articulated the itinerary for the day.

After listening, Bai Xiaoxiao asked Lin Bai, "You’re going to participate in the Imperial Hunting Garden, right?"

"Yes," Lin Bai nodded in response.

Bai Xiaoxiao said, "Then you must be careful. In the past few years, the warriors from Canghai Yuntai Palace and the Fire Palace have killed all the Spirit Sword Sect warriors who set foot in the Imperial Hunting Garden."

Lin Bai smiled and replied, "I am aware of this, don’t worry."

Bai Xiaoxiao added, "Right, the Spirit Qi contained in the Spirit Pearls is extremely rich. Refining one requires half a month’s time, so you may not be able to swiftly refine the Spirit Pearls now."

"And, you should be alert to others’ covetous intentions when you carry the Spirit Pearls."

Lin Bai nodded slightly in agreement.

"My bone age has already surpassed twenty, so I can’t participate. Therefore Jiu’er and I, as her cultivation is too low, won’t be going either. We’ll go ahead and prepare for the Imperial Banquet."

"I hope you come back safely."

Bai Xiaoxiao said lightly.

"Okay," Lin Bai responded.

After exchanging pleasantries with Bai Xiaoxiao and Bai Zhiyuan, Lin Bai began to leave.

At this moment, most of the warriors who had come to the Heavenly Altar for the ceremony were making their way towards Qitian Mountain Range.

"Lin Bai!"

A loud cry emerged from the crowd!

Lin Bai turned to look, and little prince Qi Rui was glaring at him with murderous intent. "You Yellow Level First Grade waste, a savage, an inferior ant, you dream of being equal to me," he spat out in anger.

"Inside Qitian Mountain Range, I will make sure you die a horrible death!" Qi Rui roared in fury.

"I still say the same, you will die," Lin Bai replied coldly.

At the same time.

Lin Bai felt the murderous gazes of several others in the crowd.

Yi Han turned to Wan Xia, "The price has gone up, kill Lin Bai, 200,000 Spirit Stones."

"Okay." Wan Xia hated Lin Bai to the bone, and responded viciously.

Yi Han coldly said, "Lin Bai, if it wasn’t for the Shanhe Ding suppressing our cultivation, how could you possibly defeat us? Within Qitian Mountain Range, I will make sure you die a horrible death!"

Yi Han and Wan Xia, along with all the warriors from Canghai Yuntai Palace and the Fire Palace, gave Lin Bai a cold glance before heading towards Qitian Mountain Range.

Xu Jiangsheng behind the golden mask, slightly smiled, "I’ll be waiting for you in Qitian Mountain Range."

The top assassin of the Edgeless Sect, Luo Qixing, stared at Lin Bai with bloodthirsty madness, "Interesting, your True Qi and body are so strong, I’m becoming more and more obsessed with you."

"I can’t wait to see your helpless and desperate face when you are in my hands."

Luo Qixing, like a maniac, licked his dry lips and stared at Lin Bai, speaking in a chilling tone.

Lin Bai returned to Chen Gong’s side with Lu Yuan.

Chen Gong said, "Next is the battle in the Imperial Hunting Garden, Lin Bai, Lu Yuan, Zhang Lingdao, you must be careful. Qitian Mountain Range is a place of unrestricted killing. You must be cautious of both the demon beasts’ attacks and the accompanying warriors."

"Do you understand?" Chen Gong asked solemnly.

"Yes, master," Lin Bai, Lu Yuan, and Zhang Lingdao responded in unison.

With a particularly worried and serious expression on his face, Chen Gong patted Lin Bai, Lu Yuan, and Zhang Lingdao on the shoulders one by one and said, "Okay, I’ll wait for you at the Imperial Banquet. I hope you all return alive!"

Lu Yuan nodded, "Elder, don’t worry. I will take care of Lin Bai and junior brother Zhang Lingdao."

Although Chen Gong knew that Lu Yuan was a skilled cultivator, his worries remained unchanged.

Especially considering Yi Han and Wan Xia, the reason Lin Bai was able to defeat them before was due to the Shanhe Ding suppressing their cultivation, preventing them from showing their true capabilities.

But now things would be different in Qitian Mountain Range. Lin Bai and the others would face Yi Han and Wan Xia at their peak states.

Both of these individuals had exceptional reputations as geniuses in their respective sects.

"Then, you should go." Despite his intense worry, Chen Gong spoke nonetheless.

"Okay, Senior Brother Lu and Junior Brother Zhang Lingdao, let’s set out," Lin Bai nodded and said.

Immediately, Lu Yuan, Zhang Lingdao, and Lin Bai set off towards Qitian Mountain Range.

As they stepped out of the Heavenly Altar, the guards at the gate handed each of them a map of Qitian Mountain Range. This was to inform them how to reach Qitian Mountain Range, and the map also marked out the most dangerous areas.
