Swordridge valley was a land of treasure in the eyes of many powerful sects and families. The place had a plethora of minerals, unique metals and valuables spirit medicines. It was the home of different unique demonic beasts which could not be easily found in the outside world.
Speaking about the origin of the swordridge valley, it was not always located in the northern region. According to the legend, one-day the sky above the northern region was suddenly covered by dark clouds. The sun was completely covered as the day turned into night. Two large sword suddenly descended on the northern region from the sky creating thunderstorms. When the two swords landed, the area around the swords were completely destroyed as the whole northern region were completely shaken by it.
When the experts from the northern region went to investigate about what happened, they found that two large swords thousands of miles long were embedded into the ground in as crisscross pattern. A spatial portal was opened at the base of the swords. When the experts tried to enter inside, they found out that they were repelled by some invisible energy. So, they send their disciples inside the portal to investigate.
When the disciple returned, they reported that about the treasure land rich in minerals, unique metals and demonic beasts. The powerful sect and families were shocked by this news. The powerful sects and families conducted a meeting and decided to create a large formation to cover the spatial portal and created a hundred badges that could grant entry the treasure land and distributed among them. So, only hundred disciples could enter each time when the swordridge valley opens.
A certain grand character from the northern region calculated that the opening of the swordridge valley would happen in three months at the latest and within one month at the earliest.
Thus, all the big sect and powerful families who were in possession of the entry badge of the swordridge valley clamored to send their talented disciple inside to train and test their luck to see if they could get the treasure of the swordridge valley.
Although, the powerful sects and families spread the rumor about the swordridge valley belonging to the whole northern region, it was monopolized by the powerful sects and families. Only the powerful sects had the qualification to enter inside the swordridge valley while the weaker sects could only watch from the distance with salivated mouths.
The unaffiliated and independent cultivators who did not belong to any sects and martial families were all gathered outside the swordridge valley. Although, they did not possess the qualification to enter the swordridge valley, they still wanted to watch the situation and see, if they could take advantage if the opportunity arose, maybe they could even size the entry badge and sneak inside the swordridge valley.
Even if they could not gain any benefit, they could still watch the invincible style and bearing of the sect geniuses and even bask in the aura of powerful experts from the sect. If any battle occurred between the sects, they could gain experience by witnessing the fight between powerful experts and genius disciple. This alone could make their trip worthwhile.
Two large swords which could reach the heaven could be clearly seen when one looks up while standing outside the swordridge valley. In front of the two swords was a huge door which looked magnificent. Of course, it was not the true entrance to the swordridge valley. Inside the door was the formation laid down by the powerful experts from the previous generations from which one could enter inside the swordridge valley by using their entry badge.
Outside the door were numerous disciples and powerful elders of the clearsky sect who were sent to greet the various sect and families as host since the swordridge valley was located in their territory. Of course, another purpose of this powerful team was to check if the arriving sect has the qualification to enter the swordridge valley.
Philip Riuz was the name of person leading this team. He was a powerful cultivator at the martial soul realm. He had good relationship with many people from other sects and families. So, he was given the task to welcome the arrival of the sects and families by the cleasky sect.
The news of Philip Ruiz guarding the door to welcome the arrival of cultivators of the sects and families spread among the members of the weak sects and unaffiliated cultivators who had come early to watch the fun from the sideline. The unaffiliated cultivators maintained their distance from the group as they weren't dumb enough to oppose the clearsky sect.
" The paragon sect has arrived ".
Not long after the Philip Ruiz's group were camped outside the door, a large warship carrying numerous people arrived outside the swordridge valley creating large air tempest. This group of disciple from the paragon sect were led by an old man with powerful aura. He was also at the martial soul realm.
However, Philip Ruiz did not personally welcome the sect but ordered some disciples to greet the guest. The paragon sect was a newly established sect. Although it was powerful but it was nothing compared to their clearsky sect so he did not need to show them much respect.
"The Paragon sect is unfathomable. Although it is a newly established sect, I heard that they have already recruited several martial soul realm experts in their sect as elders. They even managed to get their hands on the entry badge of the sworridge valley in such a short time after their establishment".
One unaffiliated cultivator commented in awe after seeing the arrival of the paragon sect.
Another more experience cultivator added:
"The paragon sect was established by Hardy Page. He is a powerful true martial realm cultivator who defeated numerous cultivators from the previous generation. He was ferocious and battle hardy and established numerous achievement. I once had the honor of seeing his battle, he was truly impressive. He has quite a reputation in the northern region. Of course, numerous martial soul realm cultivators will join the sect personal established by him".
As the day went on, various medium sect who had obtained the entry badge by various means arrived outside the swordridge valley. They maintained a low profile and entered inside after greeting Philip Ruiz and his group with respectful attitude without creating any noise.
"Angel's Pavilion has arrived ".
As the independent cultivators and small sects members who came to watch the show heard this news, they opened their eyes wide as they watched without blinking their eyes like they were afraid of missing something important.
A rainbow descended from the sky carrying a group of female. The group of female were all dressed in white loose robes and had a beautiful feature and otherworldly aura like some aloof fairy. The group was led by middle-aged women with beautiful feature and mature charm as several beautiful young followed behind her quietly.
This time even the stern looking Philip Ruiz showed a smile in his face as he personally led several outstanding disciples to greet the group from the Angel's pavilion.
"Damn. How can all the members of the Angel's pavilion be so beautiful. Winning the favor of any disciple from the Angel's pavilion will require the accumulation of the romantic karma from all my life. If only I could marry a fairy from the Angel's pavilion, I could die a happy man smiling even in death".
One young cultivator said with adoration in his eyes while looking at the female cultivators from the Angel's pavilion. Another youth who was standing beside him snorted:
"Humph.. You think a random nobody like you could enter the eyes of fairies from the Angel's pavilion. Only young females with good talent and supreme beauty could enter the Angel's pavilion. Look every female disciples have the peak core formation realm cultivation and yet, you dream of marrying the fairies with your weak essence core realm cultivation. Humph.. A frog trying to eat the meat of swan".
That youth turned red with embarrassment while others were shocked. All the people were so mesmerized by their beautiful appearance that they even forgot that the female were powerful cultivators too.
At this moment a loud laughter resounded in the air as group arrived while standing on the back of a large one horned Demon Rhino. The group of people were all tall with muscular bodies. The person leading the group was a middle-aged man with a well-defined muscular body and a scar on the right side of his face.
"The Rhino sect has arrived".
A disciple from the clearsky sect loudly announced their arrival.
"Hahahaha.. Brother Philip, long time no see", the brawny man standing on the back of the Demon Rhino loudly said while looking at the large door.
" Hahahaha.. Brother Reese, long time to see. I trust that you have been well since the last time we met".
Philip Ruiz personally welcomed the people from the Rhino sect. He had some friendship with this person from the rhino sect. While adventuring the outside world, they had met him, and they had travelled together for a period of time. They had even experienced life and death moment together while travelling together. So, they were naturally good friends.
"I have been fine. This time I brought some disciple from my sect to let them experience the mysteries of the swordridge valley. I was even fortunate enough to meet brother Philip on this trip. How lucky I am". Reese laughed loudly as he gave Philip a brotherly hug.
"Come. Brother Reese, I shall personally walk you to the sworridge valley". Philip walked forward to personally led them inside the valley. But, Reese politely declined as he said:
"Brother Philip, no need to trouble yourself for such minor matter. I will go in with the disciples first. We shall have a drink together after all of this is over".
"Yes, we should drink until we are drunk".
Reese entered the swordridge valley together with the disciples from the Rhino sect laughing loudly.
The people watching were astonished by the relationship between them. One of the spectator commented:
"Looks like the Rhino sect and the clearsky sect have a very good relationship with each other. "
Another older cultivator quietly added:
"of course, they have a good relationship. They attacked the Heavenly martial sect together in the past and since then, they have been very close. I heard that the sectmaster of the both sect during that year even swore together and become martial brothers for life."
"The rhino sect is indeed strong enough to have good relationship with the clearsky sect. Their one horned Rhino true technique is very powerful with the help of the technique, the disciples of the sect can easily defeat the opponent of the same level".
Another person movingly said while looking at the back of the disciple from the Rhino sect.
As the day went on, more sects arrived at the sworridge valley as the atmosphere became more lively. The spectators were filled with excitement as one powerful expert after other arrived at the sword ridge valley.
