The Sword Tower of the Sword Realm has stood in the Sword Realm for tens of millions of years. It is said to have been established by the founder of the Taiyi Sword Sect and several other powerful figures of equal caliber.
This sword tower can only be entered by martial gods of the Heaven and Earth Realm, regardless of where they come from.
This is enough to show the magnanimity of the founder of the Taiyi Sword Sect.
However, passing through the ninth level is extremely difficult. The strongest prodigy in the Sword Realm has only passed the eighth level before being appointed as a Sword Child by the Taiyi Sword Sect and receiving a large amount of resources for cultivation.
"However, if we can get past the seventh level, that should be enough."
Ye Lin seemed to have thought of something.
"Seven floors is enough?"
Li Ming was surprised; then the chances were undoubtedly much greater.
Ye Lin explained, "The Sword Tower has nine levels. As long as you can pass the first three levels, you can get some valuable rewards."
Passing through the seventh level will grant you a Sword Heart Fruit, an extremely precious fruit that cannot be obtained in the outside world. With the Sword Heart Fruit, one can greatly enhance their comprehension of the sword path in a short period, making it a supreme treasure for sword cultivators.
"If you can pass through the seventh level and obtain a Sword Heart Fruit, I believe someone in the Taiyi Sword Sect would be happy to offer a spot in exchange."
"Although the spots in the Sword Tomb are precious, the Sword Heart Fruit is extremely attractive to any sword cultivator."
For many, the Sword Heart Fruit, a treasure that can steadily improve swordsmanship, is more valuable than a spot in the Sword Tomb.
As for the ninth level, very few people in the history of the sword world have actually attempted it. Even the Taiyi Sword Sect probably wouldn't have imagined that someone would attempt the ninth level just for a spot in the Sword Tomb.
Ye Lin talked a lot in one breath, and even laughed at the end.
He hadn't thought of it that way at first, since no one in the Ye family had that ability.
But Li Ming is different. Having obtained the Sword Emperor's inheritance, he must be an unparalleled genius, and he should have a good chance of passing the seventh level.
This deal was based on an amusing anecdote he had heard from his daughter, Ye Shuang.
Many people feel that exchanging Sword Heart Fruit for it is a bad deal.
Most people still feel it's not worth risking their lower limit for a higher limit.
Li Ming also basically understood this logic.
The Sword Heart Fruit, being so rare and highly sought after, coupled with its benefits to sword cultivators, was enough to tempt even some of the higher-ups of the Taiyi Sword Sect.
If you bring other treasures, others might not really care.
Some people are unwilling to simply exchange it for divine resources.
At this level, some resources can no longer be easily traded away, otherwise everything would fall into chaos.
"The spots in the Sword Tower aren't that hard to get. My Ye family still has two spots available each year. However, our best result in recent years has only been getting past the fourth floor, and then getting stuck on the fifth."
Ye Lin said in a deep voice:
"Although I am not clear about your strength, sir, I think it should not be difficult for you to pass the seventh floor."
Li Ming simply nodded in response to Ye Lin's flattery, without saying anything more.
Honestly, who doesn't hate flattery?
In particular, the filming was very sincere.
"Alright, I will inform you as soon as I have arranged these matters."
"After the Sword Tower quota is submitted, the Taiyi Sword Sect will arrange the time, and it should be approved in less than half a month."
Ye Lin seemed very happy.
Actually, he was somewhat apprehensive, because the Sword Tomb quota was something that the Ye family couldn't get their hands on now.
If we want to make an exchange using the Ye family's name, we might end up being extorted.
"What a pity."
Ye Lin even felt a little disappointed.
These Sword Tower spots aren't exactly rare; many families are happy to vouch for them for a little money.
However, being able to help the Tai Shi Sword Master meant that the Ye family was of some use. He didn't expect Li Ming to remember this favor, but it would be great if they could form a good relationship.
Although passing the seventh level is extremely difficult, Li Ming is the master of the Tai Shi Sword. Ye Lin cannot see through Li Ming's strength, but what he just said was truly from the heart, without any falsehood.
Ye Lin quickly instructed his men to arrange for Li Ming to stay in the best attic.
Furthermore, the news that Li Ming was a distinguished guest of the Ye family was spread, and anyone who disrespected him would be severely punished.
In no time, everyone in the Ye family knew that an extraordinary figure had arrived and would represent the Ye family to challenge the Sword Tower.
This immediately sparked a lot of discussion, and even some family members protested. After all, the Sword Tower spot was a matter of chance, originally belonging to a genius sword cultivator from the Ye family, but unexpectedly it was taken by the suddenly emerging Li Ming.
This chilled the hearts of many young people in the Ye family. Even Ye Shuang, the Ye family's number one genius and Ye Lin's son, expressed his dissatisfaction, feeling that his father was sacrificing the family's interests for personal gain.
However, after Ye Lin stepped in forcefully, the arguments surrounding the matter ceased in a very short time.
Because all three of the Ye family's patriarchs stepped forward to support Ye Lin, including the patriarch who was at the Quasi-Returning to One realm.
This commotion spread, and many people in Taiyi City learned about it.
People speculated about who this person was who deserved such treatment from the Ye family, which chilled the hearts of many young members of the Ye family.
Is it worth it?
During this time, Li Ming was not idle either. Ye Lin sent over some jade slips that recorded the essence of sword techniques and insights. These were all secret sword techniques passed down from Ye family ancestors.
Seven days later.
At this very moment, it is dawn, and the night has quietly receded.
"From this perspective, the perfection of the sword path is just around the corner. When that time comes, one can apply this knowledge to other paths and soon achieve perfection as well. When one reaches the Unity Realm, one will definitely stand out from the crowd."
A sharp glint flashed in Li Ming's eyes.
It must be said that some of the things left behind by a quasi-emperor of swordsmanship were of great help to him.
The opponent's understanding of the Great Dao of the Sword should already be perfect, or at least 99%.
He has now grasped about 90% of it and is not far from perfection.
In terms of comprehending the Great Dao, reaching this level in the Heaven and Earth Realm is probably unparalleled throughout history.
His cultivation at the eighth level of the Heaven and Earth Realm has stabilized, and he is steadily advancing towards the ninth level.
"Master Li!"
Outside the attic, Ye Guanshui's voice came:
"We can set off now."
"good."
Inside the attic, Li Ming responded.
He got up from a quiet room and walked out quickly, where he saw Ye Guanshui and Ye Lin waiting.
"Lord Li, you're in luck. The Taiyi Sword Sect has arranged these three days as the Sword Tower's development period. You can go to the Taiyi Sword Sect now and try your luck at the Sword Tower."
Ye Lin said directly.
Upon hearing this, Li Ming's face also showed a hint of joy.
It would be best to finalize things quickly, to avoid any unforeseen complications.
"Shuang'er, the Sword Tower is very difficult to conquer. You can go with Lord Li to see for yourself."
Ye Lin spoke to a woman in green behind him.
Ye Shuang, dressed in a light blue dress, had delicate features and a youthful spirit. She was also the number one genius of the Ye family in this generation. After hearing Ye Lin's words, she was clearly unconvinced. She glanced at Li Ming, wanting to say something, but after thinking about it, she remained silent.
She had initially wanted to argue with her father after seeing that her cousin's spot had been taken by Li Ming.
But Ye Lin scolded her severely and warned her not to bother Li Ming.
Even her beloved ancestor gave her a stern lecture, making her realize instantly that Li Ming was someone she couldn't afford to offend.
However, she was still somewhat unconvinced.
Li Ming smiled slightly and said nothing.
Unbeknownst to him, he seemed to have become a major villain?
...
Taiyi Sword Sect.
Located on Taiyi Peak, it is the number one power in the sword world. The spiritual energy here is abundant, like a fairyland, and it is a place that countless sword cultivators in the sword world yearn for.
As a landmark building of the Taiyi Sword Sect, the Sword Tower attracts countless visitors every time it opens to the public. These visitors come not only from the Taiyi Sword Sect but also from outside the sect.
Because the Taiyi Sword Ancestor was magnanimous, he was willing to give all sword cultivators in the world a great opportunity.
As long as you pass through the first three levels, you will receive a substantial reward; the higher you go, the better the reward.
Many martial gods, and even those who weren't sword cultivators, had received rewards, so they felt grateful to the Taiyi Sword Sect.
Compared to other secret realm slots, the Sword Tower trial slots are actually quite easy to obtain; all that's needed is a guarantee from a large family or sect.
Even if the Ye family has ten free guarantor slots every year, not to mention other stronger forces.
However, relatively few people can actually get through all three levels.
Moreover, the difficulty increases dramatically with each subsequent level, and the number of martial artists who manage to pass through it drops drastically.
