Chapter 1336: Emotionless Sword Dao

"How powerful. Lord Ximen Xue is too amazing. If I can have even half his strength, I'll be perfectly content."

"He's quite a gutsy one. He even dared to kill Lord Han Jiang and so many Glacier Palace experts. I doubt he can leave this place safely."

"This is his 100th victory. Since he can survive until now, he definitely has his own trump card. How could he have stayed so arrogant otherwise?"

"That's right. Ximen Xue is strong enough to battle Saints. Unless his enemies send Saints against him, nobody can threaten him."

"He's still an eighth-stage Soul Foundation Realm cultivator, right? How is he that strong?"

...

Sounds of discussion broke out.

Xiang Feidian lowered his head and muttered, "That fellow is too scary. I'm not his match."

He was confident he could put up an even fight against Han Jiang. However, Ximen Xue had so easily killed Han Jiang, so Xiang Feidian had instantly lost all his confidence in fighting Ximen Xue.

Xiang Keren sighed, "The young are growing stronger and stronger."

"When I reach his cultivation level, I'll definitely be able to defeat him," declared Xiang Chenxi as he clenched his fists confidently.

Xiang Chenxi was one of the top three experts of the True Martial Academy. His Innate Lightning Physique was not to be underestimated either. As a sixth-stage Soul Foundation Realm cultivator, he could easily fight peak Sovereigns. However, his combat strength was still lower than Ximen Xue, and the biggest difference between the two was their cultivation.

Xiang Shaoyun said, "Don't be disheartened. He was born with incredible talent in the sword, and his swordsmanship has reached an almost perfect level. He basically lives for the sake of his sword and follows the path of the emotionless sword. No ordinary person can replicate his feat. If you all had stuck to practicing only a single weapon since young and cared for nothing else in life, you might have reached his level as well."

"Emotionless sword dao?" the three exclaimed in alarm.

The emotionless sword dao was a type of attainment in the dao of the sword where one could truly put all emotions aside. With the emotionless sword, all emotions would be swept aside the moment the sword was drawn. Nobody could hope to stop such a sword.

The feeling Ximen Xue gave everyone was a chill that reached for one's bones. That wasn't only due to his cultivation but also because he had truly abandoned all emotions. He cultivated his sword dao in an extreme manner, with his sword being his sole attachment; therefore, one could say he no longer had any emotions.

Xiang Shaoyun had once met someone like that in his previous life. Unfortunately, that someone had ultimately died by a cultivation deviation before fully grasping the emotionless sword dao.

When he looked at Ximen Xue, he had a feeling that Ximen Xue would truly be able to reach the pinnacle of this path. Ximen Xue's emotionless eyes were proof of that.

At this time, Xiang Shaoyun sensed the undulations of Heaven Battling Realm experts in the distance. Evidently, the Glacier Palace had been angered.

"Let's resume our journey," said Xiang Shaoyun.

Thus, they continued on their way to the Heavenly Snow Mountain. As for Ximen Xue's affairs, Xiang Shaoyun wasn't interested in getting involved in it. Despite his relationship with Han Chenfei, he had no grounds for involving himself since it would only create unnecessary misunderstandings. His current priority was to reach the Heavenly Snow Mountain.

The Heavenly Snow Mountain stood tall and aloof, its surface covered by dazzling ice as clear as a mirror. The extreme chill it emanated reached as far as tens of thousands of miles away and covered its surroundings with a desolate atmosphere.

As of late, more and more people appeared on the sparsely populated mountain. They were all here to enter the Saintforce Realm, for which each of the four Bloodsin Cities had selected 100 cultivators.

Some superpowers had also gained additional quotas into the Saintforce Realm. These superpowers were far more powerful than any of the other organizations in existence. It wasn't surprising at all that an exception was made for their members.

In total, about 1,000 cultivators would be allowed to enter the Saintforce Realm this time. Every single one of these cultivators was either a peak Sovereign or a prodigy where they came from. One could say that these were the stars of the current generation's Soul Foundation Realm. After a long journey, Xiang Shaoyun and company finally arrived near the Heavenly Snow Mountain. They were starting to shiver from the extreme chill the mountain was emanating.

"This place is truly worthy of being known as a place of extreme cold. It's so cold here," said Xiang Feidian, seated atop his lightning leopard.

"Little ancestor, you seem completely unaffected by the temperature?" said Xiang Chenxi in astonishment.

Even Sovereigns would have to circulate their astral energy to resist the cold here, but Xiang Shaoyun was acting like normal, astonishing them.

"Yeah, the little ancestor is truly a freak," said Xiang Keren.

Seated atop Money, Xiang Shaoyun smiled and said, "Have you forgotten that I cultivate nine different powers? The frost energy here is like a tonic for me."

He spoke the truth. Of the profundities he had grasped, the profundity of frost was one of them. After all, water and ice were interlinked. He could easily make use of the frost energy in the area. After his recent journey, the sensation of breaking through had appeared within him. However, he had been suppressing the breakthrough.

After witnessing the world of frost around him, he had further deepened his comprehension of the profundity of frost, all thanks to the Light of Wisdom.

After nearing the mountain, they found themselves targeted by numerous ice wolves.

The ice wolves were extremely ferocious and strong, their eyes emanating thick bloodlust. Instead of attacking immediately, they waited for more of them to arrive. Only when there were about 100 of them did they surround Xiang Shaoyun and company.

"Ice wolves, don't look for trouble and piss off," warned Xiang Feidian, still seated atop his lightning leopard.

If these wolves were ordinary ice wolves, Xiang Shaoyun and company wouldn't mind mowing through them. However, they could sense some Demon Emperors, Demon Sovereigns, and even peak Demon Sovereigns among them. In their natural habitat, these wolves would be even stronger. Thus, Xiang Shaoyun and company had to be cautious.

"All humans who enter our territory will become our food. Get them!" shouted the wolf leader.

The ice wolves, numbering over 100, rushed Xiang Shaoyun's group. They advanced with great momentum as they spat numerous frost attacks at Xiang Shaoyun's group.

"Money, teach them a lesson. It's time you broke through," said Xiang Shaoyun indifferently as he patted Money's back.

"Sure. Time for some exercise," said Money before charging forward. Lightning currents appeared around his body as a powerful demonic aura burst out of him. Black clouds gathered in the sky above him, and terrifying lightning bolts started raining down.
