Chapter 590 - 589: The First Swordsman of the Miracle Ridge - Dugu Yun!

Chapter 590: Chapter 589: The First Swordsman of the Miracle Ridge - Dugu Yun!

The Elder in Purple Robe slowly descended, his face beaming with a relaxed smile.

But for the warriors in Sword Discussion City as well as all those in the Lingdong 700 States who were watching this scene, this was deeply shocking!

Empty Crossing in the Sky! A warrior in the Flying Sky Realm!

"It’s actually a warrior in the Flying Sky Realm!"

"There’s no mistake, Empty Crossing in the Sky, Flying Sky Burrowing Earth, it is indeed in the Flying Sky Realm!"

"The Famous Sword Manor actually invited a warrior of the Flying Sky Realm!"

"Mad, coming to the Famous Sword Manor this time is so worth it, not only being able to watch the peak sword cultivators from the Lingdong 700 States compete, but also getting to see a warrior of the Flying Sky Realm, who is as elusive as a divine dragon in the legends!"

With that, the spectators, all warriors, started to shout excitedly.

It was the Flying Sky Realm!

In the Lingdong 700 States, it was already considered amazing to have an Earth Elixir Realm warrior, but who would have expected that now there would be a warrior directly from the Flying Sky Realm, doesn’t this cause astonishment?

The Elder in Purple Robe landed, and Lin Bai lightly smiled at him.

The Elder in Purple Robe did not dare to meet Lin Bai’s eyes, he immediately turned his head away, glanced somewhere else, and said with a smile, "I’m Dugu Yun from the Miracle Ridge!"

Hiss——

Upon hearing this self-introduction from the Elder in Purple Robe, all the sword cultivators in Sword Discussion City took a sharp intake of breath.

Astonishing!

Firstly, they were astonished that the Elder in Purple Robe was from the Miracle Ridge.

The Miracle Ridge held the same reverence for the warriors of Lingdong 700 States as the Martial Arts Sacred Land.

There are no weaklings on the Miracle Ridge, only powerful beings in the Divine Elixir Realm.

But what startled these sword cultivators even more was, his name is Dugu Yun!

Upon hearing this, Feng Yunxiu, the Crown Prince of the Fengyun Dynasty, immediately stood up and bowed in respect, saying in a humble and polite manner, "So, it’s Senior Dugu. I am Feng Yunxiu, the Crown Prince of the Fengyun Dynasty. I’ve long heard about Senior Dugu’s reputation, and it is my fortune to meet you today!"

"It’s actually Dugu Yun!"

"Senior Dugu has actually come!"

"Oh my god, to meet Senior Dugu, it is such an immense honor for us, the sword cultivators!"

All the sword cultivators in Sword Discussion City were staring at Dugu Yun with excitement on their faces. They bowed and gave their respects one after another, and they spoke words of blessing to Dugu Yun, hoping he would spare a few more glances at them.

Even if Dugu Yun spared them just one glance, these sword cultivators would feel as if their ancestors had accumulated great virtues in their past lives.

Lin Bai was momentarily stunned, and asked himself, "Who is Dugu Yun?"

Jian Ruohan, who was near Lin Bai, heard this and whispered to him, "You don’t know who Dugu Yun is?"

Lin Bai shook his head.

Jian Ruohan gave Lin Bai a disgruntled look, and said, "Elder Dugu Yun is one of the three Sect Leader Supremes in the Miracle Ridge, and he is also the dean of the Sword Art Academy, which is one of the Five Peaks and Nine Courtyards of the Miracle Ridge."

"Moreover, Dugu Yun has another title!"

"He’s the First Swordsman of the Miracle Ridge!"

When Jian Ruohan was talking about Dugu Yun, his eyes were filled with respect and awe.

Any title associated with Dugu Yun could shake the Lingdong 700 States.

One of the three Sect Leader Supremes of the Miracle Ridge.

Dean of the Sword Art Academy, one of the institutions in the Five Peaks and Nine Courtyards of the Miracle Ridge.

The First Swordsman of the Miracle Ridge!

A superpower in the Flying Sky Realm!

Dugu Yun was filled with honor and glow, a testament to his status as a strong warrior.

After hearing what Jian Ruohan said, Lin Bai finally realized Dugu Yun’s extraordinary background. He had initially speculated on their journey to the Famous Sword Manor that Dugu Yun might be a dean of one of the academies in the Five Peaks and Nine Courtyards, just like Diao Cheng.

But Lin Bai never expected, that Dugu Yun was also the First Swordsman of the Miracle Ridge.

Having come to participate in the competition amongst the sword cultivators of the Lingdong 700 States, Lin Bai truly understood the difficulty of achieving the title of First Sword Cultivator of the Lingdong 700 States, given the countless formidable opponents.

To stand out among tens of thousands of skilled sword cultivators across the Lingdong 700 States, and become the First Sword Cultivator was an extremely challenging feat.

This was already difficult enough.

And the Miracle Ridge was home to all the geniuses across the Lingdong 700 States. Trying to distinguish oneself here was incredibly difficult.

Dugu Yun not only distinguished himself at the Miracle Ridge, filled with numerous talents, but also became the First Swordsman of the Ridge. It went without saying that his strength and cultivation level were terrifying to the extreme.

Simply stating his identity caused an uproar and a shocking storm in the Sword Discussion City.

At this moment, Dugu Yun laughed and said, "Everyone, don’t be nervous. I just came to have a look. You all just do your best in the upcoming competition and show us an amazing display of martial arts."

"Of course, since I came, I naturally didn’t come empty-handed."

"I have prepared a Tianluo Pill. This pill is prestigious and potent. After taking it, it is enough for a martial artist in the Half-step Divine Pill Realm to break through to the next realm."

"If in the upcoming competition, whoever comes first, the bestowed pill will be my small contribution to the cultivators of the younger generation."

As Dugu Yun spoke, he took out a treasure box from his storage bag.

Without even opening the box, a strong fragrance of medicine spread throughout the Sword Discussion City.

Lin Bai was surprised and muttered in his heart, "Ten thousand-year-old Purple Cloud Grass, thirty thousand-year-old Asura Flower, twenty thousand-year-old Old Dragon Tree Roots... these are main ingredients for refining pills that warriors of the Heavenly Elixir Realm consume!"

"This pill must be priceless! As Dugu Yun said, whoever gets this Tianluo pill could easily break through a realm in the Half-step Divine Pill Realm."

"If I could get this Tianluo Pill, I could directly break through to the late stage of the Half-step Divine Pill Realm. Coupled with the Wooden Sword encountering the Spring Grass, condensing the Wood Spirit Vortex... even if Lin Zi’er displays her rebelling against heaven’s power, I would still have the strength to fight her!"

Lin Bai’s face was serious, clenched his fists, his gaze on the treasure box in Dugu Yun’s hand revealed his burning desire.

At this moment, Jian Qianqiu laughed and said, "Haha, thank you Elder Dugu Yun for personally coming to watch the competition at the Famous Sword Manor. This is not only a great fortune for all the sword cultivators here but also a great honor for our Famous Sword Manor."

"Sword cultivators here, you gotta work hard. If Elder Dugu Yun took a liking to you, he could directly take you to the Miracle Ridge, a great opportunity to skyrocket your status!"

"Even if you are not favoured by Elder Dugu Yun, as long as he is happy and gives you some guidance on cultivation, with his status as the First Swordsman of the Miracle Ridge, it would benefit you for a lifetime."

Within a few words, Jian Qianqiu had clearly stated the identity and power of Dugu Yun.

There were only a few reasons why the sword cultivators came to compete in the Sword Discussion City.

First, after years of hard work, they believed that their sword skills were extraordinary and wanted to find an opponent for comparison. The Famous Sword Manor provided a grand stage, allowing the strongest swordsmen from the Lingdong 700 States to gather and compete.

Second, their cultivation had already reached the pinnacle in the Lingdong 700 States, and they had to go to the Miracle Ridge to seek higher breakthroughs. The competition at the Famous Sword Manor is very prestigious, and every year there would be experts from the Miracle Ridge coming to watch. This was a wonderful opportunity for a great leap forward.

Third, fame and fortune. Like Yejian Qiu said, the endless killings in the martial arts world were all because they could not let go of their pursuit of fame and wealth. The competition of the Famous Sword Manor could let all the sects and warriors of the Lingdong 700 States see. Once they make a name for themselves in the Sword Discussion City, they would gain fame across the Lingdong 700 States.
