Chapter 2245
Soon, a few more people appeared on the Ancient Clan’s Mount Trinvard with their disciples
James did not recognize any of them.
Yoan patiently told James all about them.
“Did you see the person talking with Elder Thoryn just now? He’s the Infernal Emperor. He’s a transcendent
powerhouse and is one of the top ten in the Ancient Realm.”
“The man in gray clothes over there is Emperor Tamerlan.”
James observed them from a distance and waited.
Some of the Ancient Clan’s elders had left and gathered in a hall on Mount Trinvard.
The person leading the gathering was Thoryn.
Thoryn’s voice boomed, “Many outsiders are participating in the competition this time. We’ll have to make changes
to the competition’s rules. My suggestion to make the participants go through the Mound of Sabers first. We’ll allow
those who pass through it to participate in the competition, and the rest will be disqualified. What do you guys
think?”
“We’ll let you call the shots.”

these people steal them?”
“Ha.” Thoryn sneered and said, “Stealing the swords won’t be so easy for these outsiders. These swords have
spirits, and even the strongest people in our clan cannot control them. Regardless of how strong these youngsters
are, they won’t be able to steal our clan’s swords. I suggested having them go through the Mound of Sabers first
because the swords buried there have very strong Sword Intent, which will make it difficult to pass through.”
“Then, let’s do as you say.”
With Thoryn’s explanation, the others had no objections.
Soon, the elders appeared back outside.
Thoryn stood before everyone and announced loudly, “My guests, hear me out. Due to many outsiders joining our
clan’s competition this time, we’ve specifically discussed and decided on the rules. It’s very straightforward. The
first challenge will be to pass through our clan’s Mound of Sabers. Those who succeed within three days will move
on to the next round.”
James asked, “What’s this Mound of Sabers like, Sir?”
Yoan shook his head and said, “I’m not from the Ancient Clan, so how would I know?”
At that moment, Thoryn’s voice rang out again.
“I must remind everyone that the Mound of Sabers is our clan’s holy site. Powerful Sword Intent is accumulated
there, and those without strong will won’t be able to pass through the area. If you find yourself unable to get past,
don’t force it, or else you might lose your life.”
“Understood.”
A neat and loud response resounded on Mount Trinvard.
Afterward, Thoryn personally led the young participants in competing for a spot to enter the Pagoda of Flames to
Mount Trinvard’s leeward.
Behind the mountain, there was a canyon.
Beyond the canyon was a stone tablet with two large words engraved on it, Mound of Sabers.
After arriving outside the Mound of Sabers, Thoryn turned around and looked at the young participants. Then, he
said, “The first round of the competition is very simple. Pass through the Mound of Sabers, and you’ll move on to
the next stage. If you fail to do so, you’re eliminated from the competition. Again, I must remind you not to force it
if you can’t pass through. There are many legendary swords within the Mound of Sabers, which once belonged to
unrivaled powerhouses. These swords have spirits, so refrain from touching them. Otherwise, you’ll be struck by
their Sword Energies.
“Of course, if you’re not afraid of death and covet these legendary swords, you can go ahead and try.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter he spoke, many participants were eager to start the competition, especially those not of the Ancient Clan.
“That’s it. The competition begins now. You have three days.”
After Thoryn’s voice resounded, some Ancient Clan’s disciples quickly made their way through the canyon.
James was standing behind the crowd. He looked around and noticed many younger people from the Ancient Clan
participating in the competition. In total, there were about 3,000 participants.
Yoan reminded him, “Be careful, James. Don’t force yourself if you can’t succeed.”
“Understood, Sir. Thank you.”
After responding to Yoan, James strode into the canyon.
Immediately, he sensed a strong Sword Intent coming from the canyon. The Sword Intent was like a massive
mountain crushing him down, making him queasy.
Shortly after, he felt what seemed like an immortal flame burning him all over.
Before the sweltering sensation subsided, he then felt like he heard the rumbling of thousands of horses galloping.
In a trance, he saw a vision of thousands of horses charging at him, kicking up a cloud of dust into the sky.
“Haah!” James took a deep breath.
“The Sword Intent here is terrifying.”
“Ahh!!!”
