Not long after, Ye Yunfei arrived at a remote patch of the Chaotic Void.
"If my calculations aren't wrong, the entrance to the Sword Grave should be somewhere in this patch of void," Ye Yunfei said as he stood within the emptiness, releasing his Soul Power to sense his surroundings.
From the Tianjian Sect library elder, Ye Yunfei already knew the approximate spatio-temporal coordinates of the Sword Grave; it was roughly here.
"Hun Lao, your command over spatial energy is exceptional. Sense carefully, see if you can locate the Sword Grave's position," Ye Yunfei spoke to Hun Lao while simultaneously probing the void.
Ye Yunfei understood that Hun Lao's current mastery over spatial energy surpassed his own.
"Alright." Hun Lao also released his Soul Power, beginning the search for the Sword Grave's entrance.
According to the Tianjian Sect elder, the Sword Grave was actually located within a Small World, and the entrance/exit to that Small World was somewhere in this particular area of space.
Finding that portal would allow entry into the Sword Grave.
Just as Ye Yunfei and Hun Lao were searching the void for the entrance...
Several groups of beings were also heading toward this location from afar.
"According to the records in the ancient text from our Sword-Guarding Manor's library, the Sword Grave's position should be straight ahead, not far now. If we pick up our pace, we should arrive soon. Let's hope others haven't gotten there first," a woman with a heroic, imposing aura said clearly to one group.
This group numbered over two hundred. Each of them exuded razor-sharp sword energy that continuously sliced the surrounding space, their auras forceful and intimidating.
"Senior Sister Xiao, I don't think you need to worry. Within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, our Sword-Guarding Manor ranks among the most powerful sword dao forces. A secret realm focused on sword dao like the Sword Grave should only be recorded within our Sword-Guarding Manor's archives. Besides, according to that ancient text, the Sword Grave is extremely dangerous, filled with vast amounts of sword dao energy. Those who aren't masters of sword dao would find themselves hampered at every turn within. So even if others discovered the Sword Grave, they wouldn't necessarily dare to barge in. Only members of our Sword-Guarding Manor are worthy enough to enter!" A young man in blue robes spoke, his face full of arrogance.
"Junior Brother Hao, although your sword dao cultivation is commendable, you must remember not to be overly prideful. There are plenty of heroes under heaven," Senior Sister Xiao said with a frown. This Junior Brother Hao possessed considerable sword dao talent, but his personality was excessively arrogant.
"Enough. Less chatter. We should make haste," Senior Sister Xiao waved a hand, leading her Sword-Guarding Manor contingent as they surged toward the Sword Grave's location.
At the same time, within another part of the Chaotic Void, another group of beings was also heading toward the Sword Grave.
"The energy and laws present in the space outside are indeed far inferior to our Main World. The quality of the several worlds we passed earlier was much worse than our Main World, and the overall strength of the beings within them was pathetically low. Mere Half-Emperor experts are able to reign supreme and be treated as ancestors in those places—it's absolutely laughable! If our Main World casually dispatched a few Emperor-Realm beings, they could probably sweep through all these lower-level outside worlds," a green-robed man said scornfully, his hands clasped behind his back as he strode forward.
Dense clouds of sharp sword energy swirled around the green-robed man's body, each strand crisscrossing to weave a sword net that carved through space. As he spoke, sword-light erupted from his pupils; invisible beams of sword light seemed to spit forth as if swords were flying from his very gaze, capable of killing with a look.
"Heh heh... Senior Brother Ouyang, why compare these trash worlds outside to our Main World? Our Main World and the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds aren't even part of the same plane. To those outside trash worlds, our Main World is like the celestial heavens. Us stepping out from the Main World is akin to Deities descending upon them—we stand utterly above them. Ha ha..." a man beside him laughed arrogantly.
"Alright, enough of this irrelevant talk. Our primary task this time is to find that Sword Grave. According to Elder Qianyi, the Sword Grave contains many mysterious sword dao legacies. That famed Sword Elder of ancient times in our Main World obtained his legacy from within that Sword Grave," a tall, imposing man with an air of grandeur spoke.
*Hiss!*
Upon hearing the man's words, each person couldn't help but gasp, deeply shaken by this news. This was because Sword Elder was a renowned sword dao master from antiquity in the Main World, said to have attained the Immortal Dao through the sword, possessing Emperor-Grade cultivation, and once ranking among the Main World's top masters. Who would have thought Sword Elder's legacy actually originated from the Sword Grave!
"If that's the case, why didn't our Tianjian Sect send people to explore the Sword Grave earlier?" someone asked curiously.
"After our Tianjian Sect obtained this news, we immediately wanted to dispatch personnel to search for and explore the Sword Grave. Unfortunately, before we could officially act, the Main World was completely sealed, preventing entry and exit. Only now has the Main World reopened and reconnected with the outside, so the sect's upper echelon immediately sent us to the Sword Grave. Once we find it, we'll enter first while simultaneously sending a message back to notify the higher-ups. They will then dispatch true powerhouses to follow up," the imposing man with an air of grandeur explained.
"By the way, everyone, pay attention. This time, the forces emerging from the Main World to search for the Sword Grave include not only our Tianjian Sect but also the Sword Valley, Tianyi Sword Sect, and other sword dao sects. So even if we find the Sword Grave and enter, we will undoubtedly face fierce competition," the man added.
"Those other sword dao forces also know of the Sword Grave's existence?" The other Tianjian Sect disciples frowned upon hearing this. Within the Main World, there were quite a few sword dao forces, each with considerable strength.
"Enough. Let's increase our speed. I hope our Tianjian Sect can get ahead of the others and find the Sword Grave first!" The imposing man waved his hand, leading the Tianjian Sect contingent as they surged forward through the Chaotic Void.
At this moment...
Ye Yunfei and Hun Lao were still searching the Chaotic Void for the Sword Grave's entrance/exit.
"Huh? There's something odd about the space over there. Let's go check it out." Suddenly, Hun Lao rushed off in one direction.
Ye Yunfei hurriedly followed.
Shortly after, Hun Lao stopped at a certain spot.
"This is it. Sense carefully, see if you discover anything," Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei stopped and released his Soul Power energy, sensing toward the location Hun Lao indicated.
