Chapter 1018 - 126: Circulation Sword Array 2

All the cultivation techniques and divine powers collected over tens of thousands of years are stored here, and these things are also the assurance of the Eagle Owl Race's status.

As the most important place in the clan, the defense here is strict, and it is usually considered a forbidden place. Even the clan members themselves can only enter once when they first start cultivation. After that, if they want to come in again, they either have to have contributed to the clan or achieve a top-three position in the clan tournament.

Of course, if you have a father who is an elder or the clan leader, you can also enter.

Power abuse and social connections are unavoidable anywhere.

Entering the first-floor hall, Chen Mo squinted his eyes slightly, scanning some dark corners around. Whether it was an illusion or not, he felt as if someone were watching him, and more than one at that.

The guards in the Library Pavilion?

Huang Yi brought Chen Mo to the steward's place to register.

"Human Race?" The Elder Manager saw Chen Mo, raised an eyebrow, and deduced Chen Mo's background. Upon seeing Huang Yi behind Chen Mo, the Elder Manager realized and said, "Elder Huang Yi, is he Chen Mo?"

Huang Yi nodded: "Yes, I brought him here to choose a divine power."

The Elder Manager frowned, then smiled wryly and said: "Elder Huang Yi, this is not in accordance with the rules. How can an outsider cultivate our clan's divine power?"

"Hmm?" Huang Yi frowned: "Did the Fifth Elder not tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

"Today's winner, Chen Mo is among them. According to the rules, Chen Mo can enter the Library Pavilion to choose a divine power."

According to the process, the Fifth Elder Feng Hong should notify the Library Pavilion of the results.

Now, it seems that Feng Hong did not inform them.

The Elder Manager was startled, pointed at Chen Mo, and said: "He won?"

As he said this, he called a guard from the shadows, asking Huang Yi to wait for a moment while he had the guard go to confirm.

It didn't take long for the guard to return, and indeed, the facts were as Huang Yi said.

"What is the Fifth Elder doing, not passing on something so important over."

The Elder Manager couldn't help but complain, then said to Chen Mo: "Do you know the rules?"

"Hmm?" Chen Mo turned to look at Huang Yi.

"You can only choose one divine power. Once selected, it is irreversible," Huang Yi said.

"Since you know the rules, then let's begin." The Elder Manager said.

Huang Yi allowed Chen Mo to enter by himself.

Not long after, Chen Mo came out.

"Chosen already, so quickly?" Huang Yi froze, it had only been less than half an hour.

Chen Mo took out a wooden plaque with the words Circulation Sword Array engraved on it.

"Circulation Sword Array!"

The Elder Manager was taken aback, then smiled and said: "Good lad, this is one of the most powerful divine powers in our clan, you really know how to choose."

However, in his heart, he believed it was Huang Yi who guided Chen Mo to make the choice.

Huang Yi was also surprised, though she didn't show it, she thought to herself, could this be destiny?

Of course, this wooden plaque with Circulation Sword Array engraved on it is not the divine power itself but just a "book title." Once someone selects it, the steward will bring out the true jade scroll of the Circulation Sword Array for the chooser to copy a version.

Outside the Library Pavilion, Huang Yi couldn't help but ask: "Do you know who created this Circulation Sword Array?"

"Circulation Sword Venerable!" Chen Mo said. When his soul power delved into the jade scroll given by the Elder Manager, he learned not only the cultivation method of the Circulation Sword Array but also its creator.

"Do you know who Circulation Sword Venerable is?" Huang Yi asked.

"You don't mean to say he was my ancestor, do you?" Chen Mo said.

"Precisely. Legend has it that Circulation Sword Venerable was a divine cultivator, mastering sword dao, once observed the stars and created the Circulation Sword Array. Every sword corresponds to a star in the sky. In theory, the more swords you cultivate, the stronger the power of the Circulation Sword Array. Circulation Sword Venerable, relying on this divine power, made a great name in the Celestial Star Realm. At his peak, he could reportedly control a hundred thousand swords, earning him the title of Sword Venerable. The name Circulation Sword Venerable came from this." Huang Yi said.

"A hundred thousand swords!"

Chen Mo's eyes widened in astonishment.

Feng Xuan's thirty-six spirit swords already increased power by more than five thousand.

A hundred thousand swords, how much more would that add?

"And it's said that these hundred thousand swords aren't sword formed by spiritual power but magical treasures." Huang Yi continued, leaving people in shock with her remark.

Chen Mo was tongue-tied, not daring to imagine.

"By the way, Fairy Yi, you previously mentioned you had something to tell me, was it about this?" Chen Mo asked.

"This is part of it."

Huang Yi led Chen Mo to a place alone in the Phoenix Tree Forest, stopped, and said: "Do you think having a place to enter the Jade Secret Realm guarantees you'll get the Seven-Turned Spirit Fruit?"

"Hmm?" Chen Mo did not understand.

Huang Yi smiled: "I guess you thought the nine people entering the Secret Realm would have one fruit each, right?"

Chen Mo nodded.

"At first, deciding on nine places was indeed the intention, but as our clan grew stronger, it turned into acquiring the Seven-Turned Spirit Fruit within the Jade Secret Realm based on merit…"

Saying this, Huang Yi revealed a trace of worry on her face: "For the past four times, our clan has obtained more than five Seven-Turned Spirit Fruits each time."

Chen Mo was surprised.

Every thousand years, only nine Seven-Turned Spirit Fruits are produced.

Three factions have nine people entering, and yet the Eagle Owl's faction secured over five fruits each time, meaning at least two individuals gained nothing.

Perhaps one faction did not get even one fruit.

After consecutively four times, Chen Mo imagined this resentment is likely irreconcilable.

Seeing Chen Mo's expression, Huang Yi said: "It seems you understand too, in ten days at the Jade Secret Realm, if you lack capability, you might not get even one fruit, and worse, you might attract retaliation from those other two factions. In the Secret Realm, using magical treasures is not prohibited.

Also, the Secret Realm contains fierce beasts. If they kill you, the final result might be no justice, as they could blame it on the beasts."

Chen Mo's face showed a hint of seriousness. Being that Huang Yi mentioned "retaliation," it means those two factions are at least comparable in strength to the Eagle Owl Race, if not slightly less.

Being this way, they must have strong survival tactics, making it impossible to rely solely on the system's display of power.

"Thank you, Fairy Yi for letting me know, I will proceed with caution." Chen Mo said.

Huang Yi nodded, then said: "Actually, I'm not worried about your strength, but your…foundation is not as strong as theirs, so you might face many unforeseen dangers."

Chen Mo understood, and he already had a plan in mind. If going in does not present an opportunity to acquire a Seven-Turned Spirit Fruit, then he will let it go.

He had no intention of asking Huang Yi for any life-saving cards or whatnot, after all, she didn't owe him anything.

Chen Mo switched the subject and said: "Fairy Yi, what is the Star Domain Battle then?"

"Why, have you truly set your eyes on that girl Huang Su?" Perhaps sensing the heaviness of the previous discussion, Huang Yi teased.

Chen Mo smiled bitterly: "Fairy Yi, I'm just curious about the Star Domain Battle, no other meaning."

"That is a fragmented small world, rumored to be the ruins of one of the powerful forces from ancient times, the Star Palace. It contains countless opportunities and magical treasures, yet is extremely dangerous, controlled by the pinnacle forces of the Celestial Star Realm, opening once every hundred years.

To gain entry, one must go through layers of selection, and this selection battle is known as the Star Domain Battle, narrowing down to a hundred people."

Saying this, Huang Yi noted: "My Eagle Owl Race has ten places to participate in the Star Domain Battle, but I'm afraid I can't fight for a place for you."

The Star Domain and the Jade Secret Realm are different, the interests involved are too significant.

Anything that comes out of there would be snatched by all in the Celestial Star Realm.

So even just one selection place, the Eagle Owl Race guards tightly, never giving it to an outsider.

Chen Mo nodded, then curiously asked: "So, Fairy Yi, have you participated in a Star Domain Battle?"

Huang Yi shook her head: "The last time the Star Domain Battle opened, I was only thirty, not strong enough."

"The last time, only thirty?"

Hearing this, Chen Mo's mouth opened wide.

My god, it turns out you are not that old either…
