The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 887 - 885: The Valuable Divine Power!

Chapter 887: Chapter 885: The Valuable Divine Power!

Divine Power Valley is where the Sword Art Academy’s collection of divine powers is kept.

Dugu Yun, with Lin Bai walking outside of Divine Power Valley, indifferently said, "The Swordsmanship Courtyard of the Miracle Ridge has been established for over three thousand years. During these three thousand years, countless sword art geniuses have created supreme sword techniques and divine powers, all of which are collected within Divine Power Valley."

"Currently, within the Sword Art Academy’s Divine Power Valley, there are over ten thousand sword technique divine powers!"

"It is precisely because of Divine Power Valley that the Sword Art Academy has been able to securely hold its position among the Nine Courtyards of the Miracle Ridge, unchallenged by anyone."

Dugu Yun gently said.

"Ten thousand moves! Impressive."

Upon hearing Dugu Yun’s introduction, Lin Bai was particularly stirred.

Ten thousand divine powers, what concept is that! If those were sold, they would probably be worth a lot of money.

Sword Art Academy, Divine Power Valley.

Before even drawing near to Divine Power Valley, Lin Bai saw from afar the stone steles standing within.

At a glance, they were densely packed and too numerous to count.

"Greet the Dean!"

"Pay respects to the Dean!"

"Greetings to the Dean."

Outside Divine Power Valley, Lin Bai saw many disciples just coming out from there.

Upon seeing Dugu Yun, they all paid their respects very respectfully with clasped fists.

Dugu Yun also smiled and returned the greeting.

Approaching Divine Power Valley, Lin Bai saw from afar that there were three enormous beams of light shooting into the sky from within.

Curiously, Lin Bai asked, "Senior Dugu Yun, what are those three beams of light?"

Dugu Yun replied with a smile, "Because there are many divine powers within Divine Power Valley, over the years, seniors of the Sword Art Academy have divided it into three areas. They have also graded the divine powers based on their might and the difficulty of comprehension!"

"They are divided into Lower Grade Divine Powers!"

"Middle Grade Divine Powers!"

"Higher Grade Divine Powers!"

"Segregating into these three grades allows warriors to avoid taking many detours."

"For example, if a warrior’s talent is average, then he can just cultivate Lower Grade Divine Powers!"

"If a warrior’s talent is comparable to a monster, he can go for the more challenging Higher Grade Divine Powers to comprehend!"

"If Divine Power Valley did not differentiate grades, and an average-talented warrior chose a very difficult divine power to comprehend, then it is likely that he will achieve little in the art of the sword in his lifetime."

Dugu Yun said indifferently.

Lin Bai said, "So that means, the higher the grade of divine power differentiated by the Sword Art Academy, the harder it is to comprehend?"

Dugu Yun laughed, "Exactly."

Lin Bai asked, "Then what grade is the Mo Wen Sword?"

Dugu Yun laughed and said, "The Mo Wen Sword is the only sword technique in the Sword Art Academy that surpasses Higher Grade Divine Powers and is the Supreme Sword Technique!"

"It is also the strongest sword technique unanimously recognized by the Sword Art Academy in the past five hundred years!"

"Think about it, when Ye Jinghong was merely cultivating it for seven days, he already dominated the Miracle Ridge!"

"If a sword cultivator were to properly comprehend the Mo Wen Sword, then its power would undoubtedly be immense."

Upon hearing this, a fiery passion surged within Lin Bai.

Stepping into Divine Power Valley.

Lin Bai saw disciples standing in front of each stone stele, pacing back and forth, sometimes happy, sometimes frowning.

On those stone steles, however, was a hazy mist, obscuring the inscriptions.

Lin Bai walked over curiously, coming before a stone stele.

Engraved on this stele was:

"Lower Grade Divine Power!"

"One Sword Severing Heaven!"

"Infinite might of the sword art, a single strike can break mountains and rivers, can slash the sun and moon!"

"Points needed to comprehend once: Ten thousand!"

"Insert your Identity Token into the slot below to disperse the maze and view the inscriptions on the stele!"

"Disciples of the Sword Art Academy heed this warning: once you choose, whether you can comprehend the divine power or not, points will not be refunded!"

On this stele, Lin Bai could only see these few lines.

After reading, Lin Bai’s face showed great shock as he exclaimed, "Whether successful or not, the points will not be refunded?"

"And ten thousand points just to comprehend once?"

"How many warriors can learn a divine power after just one attempt at comprehension!"

Lin Bai looked at Dugu Yun with an astonished cry.

Dugu Yun said with a smile, "Yes, so now you understand the role points play on the Miracle Ridge, right?"

Lin Bai smacked his lips and said, "A lower-grade divine power actually requires ten thousand points for just one attempt at comprehension. What about the middle-grade divine powers, and the higher-grade divine powers?"

Dugu Yun said with a smile, "Let’s go, the intermediate area is just ahead."

Lin Bai continued to follow Dugu Yun.

They reached the intermediate area of Divine Power Valley.

Lin Bai went to look at another Divine Stele, and exclaimed in shock, "Fifty thousand points for one comprehension! Damn it, the Sword Art Academy is so ruthless!"

Dugu Yun gave a slight smile, "Seen it? Then let’s continue walking. The Mo Wen Sword is up ahead."

Lin Bai asked, "Senior Dugu Yun, how many points does it cost to comprehend the Mo Wen Sword once?"

Dugu Yun responded with a smile, "You’ll know once you see it."

Lin Bai nodded and continued to walk forward.

Soon, Lin Bai and Dugu Yun walked through the area of higher-grade divine powers.

They reached the deepest part of Divine Power Valley.

In a natural Melting Cave, stood nine Stone Steles.

Dugu Yun led Lin Bai into the Melting Cave, saying, "The Mo Wen Sword is recorded on these nine Steles."

"The Mo Wen Sword consists of nine moves, hence the nine Steles!"

Lin Bai said excitedly, "Divine powers are usually comprehended one move at a time, I never expected there to be complete sets of divine sword techniques in the world."

Dugu Yun chuckled lightly, "Lin Bai, in fact, divine powers are not as incredible as you think; it’s just that they are very powerful now!"

"When you come into contact with King Skill Level, which surpasses Heaven-level Martial Skills, you’ll find that divine powers are dispensable for warriors!"

"Because once a King Skill Level is executed, it must harness the power of heaven and earth."

"At that time, divine powers will become irrelevant."

"You can understand it this way, every King Skill Level is a divine power!"

Lin Bai, upon hearing this, said with a wry smile, "I don’t have the ability to come into contact with King Skill Level yet!"

"That’s not right, Senior Dugu Yun!"

"Isn’t the level above Heaven-level Martial Skills the Emperor Skill Level?"

"How can there be another King Skill Level?"

Dugu Yun said with a faint smile, "That’s correct, according to the hierarchy of skills on the Barbaric Ancient Continent, above the Heaven-level Martial Skills is indeed the Emperor Skill Level!"

"But Emperor Skill Level is quite rare, many skills cannot reach the power of the Emperor Skill Level!"

"Therefore, in the Martial World, a King Skill Level has been created as a transitional stage between Heaven-level Martial Skills and Emperor Skill Level!"

Lin Bai nodded in sudden realization.

Emperor Skill Level is extremely rare, even on the Barbaric Ancient Continent, it’s an exceedingly uncommon existence.

It’s no exaggeration to say that it would be difficult to find even a hundred Emperor Skill Level books throughout the entire Barbaric Ancient Continent.

Dugu Yun said, "The Mo Wen Sword is right here, go and take a look."

"Hmm."

Lin Bai nodded slightly and walked forward.

He approached the first Stone Stele.

"Mo Wen Sword Art, First Form, Sword Heart Clarity!"

This Stele recorded the introduction to the technique of Sword Heart Clarity.

Lin Bai laughed, "This first move is actually free!"

"What about the second move?"

Lin Bai promptly moved towards the second move of the Mo Wen Sword!

"Mo Wen Sword, Second Form, Sweeping Thousands of Soldiers!"

"One hundred thousand points per comprehension attempt!"

"So expensive!"

Lin Bai saw the points for comprehension and immediately shrank back, dumbfounded.
