Chapter 2860 Secrets of the Eighteen Houses

Xiao Yi chuckled, "Sit down."

The two of them sat cross-legged on the ground.

"On swords?" Xiao Yi asked with a smile.

"Yiming, your cultivation level has not improved, but your aura is extremely stable. It seems that your sword heart is much stronger."

Xia Yiming nodded, "Yes, last time I gathered Heixue, fortunately the palace master saved Yiming's life."

"After recovering from his injuries, Yi Ming suddenly felt as if his sword's heart had been tempered thousands of times."

"After practicing hard, the sword's heart became stronger and stronger. Today, it is several times stronger than before."

Xiao Yi nodded and looked at Su Cheng, "Your cultivation level has improved a lot."

"I haven't seen him for only about two months, but he is actually at the sixth level of the Saint Realm."

Su Cheng smiled and said, "This is all thanks to Brother Xiao."

"As the saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later."

"After being rescued by Xiao Yi and leaving the Demon Realm last time, Ling Yun and I went back to the family to cultivate in secret for a while."

"That kid is going crazy, his cultivation level is skyrocketing."

Xiao Yi nodded, "Seven Kills Ling Yun, his talent is not weak at all."

"The awakened Seven Killing Sword martial spirit ranks fifth in the divine weapon spectrum, and with the Murong family's huge cultivation resources, it is not surprising that the cultivation level has skyrocketed by several levels."

Su Cheng smiled and said, "As for me, Brother Xiao also knows that my Tianyuan Sword is very special. Naturally, my cultivation has also improved."

Xiao Yi nodded, "The ancient divine weapon once ranked first in the list and was known as the strongest sword. I'm even more surprised that your cultivation level has skyrocketed."

"But why did you come back to Dongfang's house again?" Xiao Yi asked in confusion.

Xia Yiming said at the side, "Palace Master, a few days ago, the team from the Hidden World Hundreds Family has arrived at the Dongfang Family."

"The powerful men from hundreds of schools have also integrated into the defense line of the Eight Palaces."

"I know." Xiao Yi nodded, "The hundreds of families have already sent a letter saying that they will participate in the war. Counting the days, it should be here long ago."

"What I'm talking about is Su Cheng, how come you, a young prodigy, are here too."

Su Cheng waved his hand, "It is said that under the so-called overturning of the nest, there are no intact eggs."

"The disaster that changes the sky shakes the Central Territory."

"A few years ago, our hidden family had other concerns, so we did not choose to join the war with the Eight Halls, but instead chose to join the Holy Moon Sect."

"But now..."

Xia Yiming said coldly, "The Eighth Palace is so prestigious, what are you worried about? It's just an excuse to be greedy for life and afraid of death."

Su Cheng smiled bitterly, "Brother Xiao should know all the things that happened in the Eighth Palace back then."

"It's hard for me to explain clearly."

Xiao Yi nodded.

What Su Cheng was referring to was, of course, the civil war in the Eighth Palace that year, and the elite Eighth Palace team that was abandoned in the underworld.

The elite of the Eight Halls gathered together the strong men of the Eight Halls themselves, as well as the powerful ancestors of hundreds of hidden schools.

What the hidden world once feared will naturally happen again.

Su admitted the true way, "Today's Eighth Palace is a trustworthy Eighth Palace, and it is naturally our duty to hide in the world."

"This time, not only are all the elites from hundreds of strong schools here, but our top-ranked geniuses are also here."

"First of all, in the real dangerous battlefield, it is not our turn for juniors to participate. At most, we can share some ordinary combat power and help as many as we can."

"Secondly, since we juniors will not be in too much danger, it can be treated as an experience that is rare in millions of years."

"Such a good opportunity, naturally I won't let it go."

Xiao Yi chuckled, "Isn't there too much danger? Didn't you suffer enough losses last time?"

Su Cheng shook his head, "Originally, I was afraid of the loss."

"On the last demon sacrifice day, the Dongfang family was unreliable. All of us geniuses were prepared to die miserably in the demon realm."

"But Brother Xiao was alone. He was like a divine soldier descending from the sky and saved all of us. Not one of the geniuses was spared."

"Brother Xiao was so prominent and powerful back then, yet he dared to take risks."

"This alone is enough for us to be recognized and trusted by hundreds of schools of thought."

Xiao Yi said, "It seems that the speeches of you young geniuses are indispensable for hundreds of hidden schools to participate in the war."

"Yes." Su Cheng nodded, "The first one to take the lead was Mr. Meng and the others. Later, our Su family and Murong family also supported us one after another."

"In just a few days, hundreds of hidden families have all expressed their stance."

Xiao Yi nodded, "Okay, let's start discussing swords. I will have about an hour to discuss with you."

"What's the point?" Su Cheng said with a smile, "Brother Xiao's strength far exceeds ours. We are not at the same level at all."

"Just sitting there, with just one look, can block my full-strength sword strike."

"This water in the sky is terrifying."

"It's a pity." Su Cheng shook his head, "Such a powerful martial art, none of the descendants of their eighteen houses can inherit it."

"The Eighteen Wise Lords back then were so powerful. Each of the eighteen signature martial arts was invincible in the Central Region."

"However, so far, none of the Eighteen Prodigies have been able to comprehend these martial arts."

Xiao Yi was slightly surprised, "Do you know everything about the Eighteen Sages?"

Su Cheng nodded and said with a proud smile, "There are not many things that I, Su Cheng, don't know."

"The Eighteen Houses back then were on par with, or even better than, our hundreds of hidden houses."

"Among our hundreds of hidden families and the first-generation ancestors of the Eighteen Houses, all have had strong men in the King Realm."

"It's just that with the passage of time and the decline of martial arts, our hidden world has never produced a strong person in the monarch realm. However, the inheritance itself is still there and has been passed down from generation to generation. There are still a lot of top saints in the realm."

"And the Eighteen Houses." Su Cheng sighed lightly, "The Eighteen Sage Lords fell too suddenly, leaving no legacy at all."

"Naturally, the inheritance was directly cut off, so that the eighteen palaces today do not even have a Saint Realm, and the strongest is only the peerless peak."

"Although the relics of the Eighteen Sage Lords have been preserved, and the symbols of martial arts are placed in their eighteen dangerous places, without a complete inheritance and without the martial arts insights left by those seniors in the realm, it would be in vain."

"Unless there really is an extremely stunning and beautiful monster, it is impossible to understand those symbols of martial arts just by relying on those martial arts relics."

The monarch realm of the hidden world has fallen and fallen, but before falling, at least he left behind his own martial arts inheritance.

But the Eighteen Wise Lords only left behind martial arts relics.

The difference between the two is naturally huge.

"Of course." Su Cheng said with a smile, "Even if it is just a small blessing left by the Eighteen Sage Lords, it is enough to benefit the current Eighteen Houses greatly."

"The dangerous areas of the Eighteen Prefectures have great benefits; and as the controller of the Eighteen Prefectures, the same is naturally true."

"In addition, after all, the Eighteen Sages made great contributions to this continent back then. Naturally, today's major forces will also sell the Eighteen Houses' face."

"So, on the surface, the Eighth Palace is the dominant force in the Central Region; each government has its own affairs to integrate the major regions. As long as things are not too excessive, the Eighth Palace and many forces will turn a blind eye and not cooperate with them.

They fight."
