It soon became the day of the Sword Tomb's opening.

The Five Dragon Plaza was already filled with people.

Above the plaza, there was a Shadow Capture Box, and its reflection was enlarged in the sky by a special formation.

The reflection depicted a vast and desolate valley.

The valley was barren and uninhabited.

The older disciples of the Five Dragon Sect knew that this was the Sword Tomb Valley of the sect.

All swords of the sword cultivator disciples from the inner sect were retrieved from there.

The large plaza was buzzing with whispers.

"Who's going to retrieve a sword from the Sword Tomb today?"

"Yan Jue, of course."

"Really? I remember that the first place in this competition was the Dreaming Phoenix Junior Sister Qi Xianqing."

"That's right! Junior Sister Menghang treats her junior brothers and sisters especially well; she's even willing to gift such a good sword."

"Even if Junior Sister Menghang is willing to give it, Ice Flow might not be willing to accept her. This Ice Flow is a legendary sword, inherently noble and precious. If an ordinary junior disciple goes, it might not be so eager to acknowledge them."

For every disciple of the Five Dragon Sect, being able to go to the Sword Tomb to retrieve a sword was a great honor.

Since the sect had many sword cultivators, whenever a disciple was fortunate enough to be qualified to retrieve a sword from Sword Tomb Valley, the sect would set up a Shadow Capture Box in Five Dragon Plaza to allow the other disciples to watch the whole process.

The reason the sect allowed disciples to observe others retrieving swords was to help them learn something.

So that when it was their turn to draw a sword in the future, they wouldn't be so bewildered.

This time, many elders came to witness the retrieval of the legendary immortal sword Ice Flow.

The sect master, Mu Zhongzi, sat in a chair, contemplating as he gazed at the enormous scene in the sky.

Everyone's attention was focused on Yan Jue in the center of the image.

...

The world was dim and yellow, with flying sand and rocks.

The environment of the well-known Sword Tomb Valley in the Five Dragon Sect was actually not very good.

This was Yan Jue's first visit to the Sword Tomb. What caught her eye was a faint blue halo, and before her stood a large golden gate on the mountain wall.

This was the passageway specially opened by the sect to enter the Sword Tomb.

Yan Jue instinctively clenched the mark left in her palm by Candle Shadow a few days ago when she suddenly heard footsteps nearby.

Yan Jue was slightly taken aback and turned to look.

She saw a fair-skinned girl in a gardenia-colored robe standing nearby, seemingly also wanting to enter the Sword Tomb.

Yan Jue: "You are...?"

The girl looked at her, her beautiful eyes wide open: "Hello, I'm Jiang Mengchu. I'm here to retrieve a sword from the Sword Tomb today as well."

Yan Jue stared at her and suddenly remembered that Jiang Mengchu ranked second in the competition at the Five Dragon Summit.

Jiang Mengchu: "Sister, what's your name?"
