Primordial Divine Emperor-Chapter 52 - 51: Climbing South Peak—Is This Kid Cheating?

Mo Shiyi’s eyes were full of admiration and reverence, as this desolate Divine Peak, which appeared barren in Ye Xiaofan’s eyes, seemed to have a history of exceptionally domineering legends within the Divine Sword Sect.

Seeing the worship in the other’s eyes, Ye Xiaofan was slightly taken aback and also became a bit interested.

"Brother Shiyi, is there another saying about this South Peak?"

Ye Xiaofan instinctively asked, observing the admiration in his brother’s gaze as he looked at the South Peak. It was evident that the South Peak seemed quite unusual to the disciples of the Divine Sword Sect, even more legendary than the other Six Divine Peaks.

When mentioning the South Peak, Mo Shiyi’s eyes were filled with admiration, revealing a fiery and longing glow, as if filled with aspirations for something.

"Junior brother, you might not know, but a few hundred years ago, the Divine Sword Sect only had Six Great Sword Peaks. There were no Seven Great Sword Peaks at that time."

"This South Peak was actually moved here from the South Ridge by the Sword Saint himself, forcibly positioned among the Six Great Sword Peaks. From then on, the Six Great Sword Peaks of the Divine Sword Sect became known as the Seven Great Sword Peaks."

Mo Shiyi spoke slowly, it can be said that Dugu Nan single-handedly altered the entire pattern of the Divine Sword Sect.

"So that’s how it is."

Listening to this, Ye Xiaofan felt his blood boiling, his gaze involuntarily turned towards the Thirty-Six Holy Peaks of the Divine Sword Sect. Although Mo Shiyi’s words were few, he could imagine the unparalleled dominance exerted by the Sword Saint against the criticisms of the masses back then.

Moving a Spirit Peak to forcibly insert it among the Six Divine Peaks might not have been difficult, but the difficulty lay in the fact that the Six Divine Peaks dared not speak up, silently acknowledging the Seventh Sword Peak, and even changed their name from the Six Great Sword Peaks to the Seven Great Sword Peaks. Such an awe-inspiring power.

In that case, could he, Ye Xiaofan, also emulate his master in the future, bringing a Spirit Peak to stand among the Thirty-Six Holy Peaks, opening up the thirty-seventh Holy Peak?

But Ye Xiaofan was just thinking for now, not planning to do so yet. If he truly turned the Thirty-Six Holy Peaks into Thirty-Seven Holy Peaks, it would cause an uproar throughout the Divine Sword Sect.

Moreover, the elders, peak masters, sect leader, and Supreme Elders of the Divine Sword Sect would not agree. The Holy Peaks symbolize the status and position of Saint Heir and Saintess candidates. In the strict hierarchy of the sect, adding a new Holy Peak would be seen as challenging the sect’s authority.

Unless one day, he could also have the strength to silence all the Divine Peaks like his master Dugu Nan.

"If that day really comes, it wouldn’t be impossible."

Ye Xiaofan mused inwardly, his gaze fixated on the Thirty-Six Holy Peaks.

As if he had already figured out the location of the thirty-seventh Holy Peak.

Just as Ye Xiaofan’s thoughts were drifting wildly.

"Is the one below Ye Xiaofan?"

Unexpectedly.

A tender voice echoed a hundred meters above the South Peak, pulling Ye Xiaofan’s thoughts back. He and Mo Shiyi followed the voice and saw two small figures that had somehow appeared within the forest a hundred meters high in the peak.

It was a pair of golden boy and jade girl, appearing to be only two or three years old, yet their young faces wore an air of maturity.

"I am Ye Xiaofan, may I ask who you two are?" Ye Xiaofan immediately responded to the two, his gaze continuously examining them, as those who could appear on the South Peak were not ordinary people.

The ’golden boy’ and ’jade girl’ exchanged a glance upon hearing the words, and both began to float slowly towards Ye Xiaofan’s location.

And this scene instantly left Ye Xiaofan in a daze: "They can fly? How is that possible? They’re only two or three years old?"

As far as Ye Xiaofan knew, a Cultivator couldn’t achieve Flying in the Sky before condensing ’Spiritual Essence’, yet these two children were stepping through the air.

Ye Xiaofan was full of disbelief and skepticism, could two three-year-old kids have already condensed ’Spiritual Essence’?

Luckily, Mo Shiyi beside him immediately understood and explained: "It’s a Wind Travel Talisman, a type of Sky-Controlling Talisman, which only works in the presence of wind."

"Talisman?" Ye Xiaofan murmured, indeed seeing a small talisman on the golden boy and jade girl.

So talismans could also make people fly, Ye Xiaofan learned something new and for a moment, yearned for these celestial means.

While the two were marveling, the golden boy and jade girl had already approached them, each slightly bowing to Ye Xiaofan: "Disciple Jian Shi, disciple Jian Yu, greet Senior Brother Xiaofan."

"Senior Brother?" Ye Xiaofan was a bit dazed: "Are you new disciples taken in by Master?"

Wasn’t he supposed to be the sole successor, how did two junior brothers and sisters appear?

Ye Xiaofan was at a loss.

"Senior Brother Xiaofan misunderstood, we are Sword Boys of the South Peak, not disciples of Sword Father." Jian Yu explained.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaofan realized that the Sword Father Jian Yu mentioned should be the Sword Saint Dugu Nan.

In other words, these children, Jian Shi and Jian Yu, were not disciples of the Sword Saint, but would still address him as senior brother.

Looking at the two exquisite children before him, Ye Xiaofan smiled warmly: "Jian Shi, Jian Yu, did Master send you to meet me? Could I also receive a Wind Travel Talisman, and fly up there like you with the help of the breeze?"

Ye Xiaofan was all smiles, the South Peak and Six Divine Peaks were of equal height. Those geniuses who reported in all took flying boats to arrive, so he figured he could also use a Wind Travel Talisman to reach the peak.

However, in the next moment.

"Sword Father instructed us to tell Senior Brother Xiaofan that to ascend the South Peak, you must climb the mountain on foot, and must not rely on any Flying Magical Artifacts, nor use Spiritual Power, otherwise, Sword Father will throw you down to start the climb again." Jian Shi said righteously.
