In the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The crowd watched Su Changyu vanish, feeling rather dumbfounded.
They naturally saw the array pattern underneath Su Changyu’s feet.
There were array patterns, which meant that the array formation had been activated.
However, the problem was that there was neither an array diagram nor an array artifact. Yet, the array formation was activated in the void.
The array formation had really been set up in thin air.
The operation was simply outrageous and absurd.
However, when they saw Su Changyu leaving to go fight Daoist Tai Xuan in another place, the powerhouses in the palace and the capital all heaved a sigh of relief.
If they fought here and a great war erupted, the consequences would be extremely severe.
Daoist Tai Xuan watched Su Changyu disappear and looked in the direction of the Qingyun Dao Sect in Jin Nation.
He knew the reason why Su Changyu said he would kill him in the Qingyun Dao Sect.
Not long ago, he had killed his own Junior Brother, Daoist Tai Hua, in the Qingyun Dao Sect.
‘He thinks he can make me waver and affect my Dao Heart using this matter? Ridiculous.’
All weapons were inferior to his willpower to go through Immortal Ascension.
Even though Su Changyu had just exhibited his supreme array formation that he had set up with a single thought or had even set up a trap in the Qingyun Dao Sect, so what?
Not all people are equal. In order to fight for a chance to cultivate immortality for life, everything in the world could be slashed.
Daoist Tai Xuan was very confident and he believed in his sword. Looking calmly at the powerhouses around him, his figure turned into a sword light that dashed up into the sky and charged towards the Qingyun Dao Sect.
Watching Daoist Tai Xuan leave, the palace powerhouses didn’t take him seriously at all.
Moreover, they could not stop the latter.
Besides, Su Changyu also left to go to the Qingyun Dao Sect instead of fighting in the Great Xia Dynasty. If they intervened at this time, they would be asking for trouble.
“Why don’t we tag along and take a look?”
Someone watched Daoist Tai Xuan leave.
“Where is the Qingyun Dao Sect?”
“I don’t know.”
“I haven’t heard of it before. Could it be some hidden sect?”
“This must be a hidden sect. The Tenth Prince is so extraordinary, how can it be an ordinary sect?”
The powerhouses of the Great Xia Dynasty spoke up because they had no idea where Su Changyu was referring to.
After all, the Great Xia Dynasty was large and the Qingyun Dao Sect was far from the Great Xia Dynasty.
At the same time, in the Qingyun Mountain Range.
A middle-aged man in a plain green robe with a wooden sword on his back and a burly man clad in a beast hide robe walked along the mountains.
They were Gu Jianxian and Da Xu.
“Old Gu, I feel that the Sect Leader must be in danger and we might encounter danger when we return to the Qingyun Dao Sect. You might be powerful, but you are no match for that person.”
“We’d better look for Exalted Immortal Changyu and a few other Exalted Immortals to discuss what to do then.”
Da Xu said.
Previously, when the Qingyun Dao Sect was in danger, Daoist Tai Hua set up an array formation to send him away.
As soon as he descended, he ran into a bunch of orthodox cultivators.
Seeing that the Ghost King was severely wounded, the orthodox cultivators took action to slay the demons.
Afterwards, Da Xu was hunted.
After being chased for seven days and seven nights, Da Xu was finally out of energy and he felt like he was on the brink of death as his body was about to disintegrate.
At that moment, Gu Jianxian appeared and saved Da Xu who was being hunted.
After Da Xu was rescued, he was in disbelief.
He didn’t expect that Gu Jianxian, who kept being called a good-for-nothing, would be so impressive as to have his talent hidden.
He immediately understood that that was the basic habit of the disciples of the Qingyun Dao Sect. Just like the Sect Leader, they would all hide their strengths and pretend to be weak before showcasing their true abilities during the critical moment.
Gu Jianxian managed to become Su Changyu’s disciple. How could it be simple?
‘I’m such a fool. I’m really such a fool. I’m a weak and helpless Nascent Soul realm Ghost King, everyone else is a big shot.’
As Su Changyu’s disciple, Gu Jianxian was still part of the Qingyun Dao Sect even though he was just an in-name disciple.
Da Xu immediately told Gu Jianxian about what happened in the Qingyun Dao Sect.
Gu Jianxian was shocked after hearing Da Xu’s words.
‘The Sect Leader of the Qingyun Dao Sect is a Mahayana realm powerhouse?’
A bunch of people arrived in the Qingyun Dao Sect to look for trouble, but they ended up being suppressed and killed by Daoist Tai Hua. Yet, now a Mahayana realm powerhouse was here to look for trouble.
Gu Jianxian was stunned because he knew that there weren’t many experts of the Mahayana realm in this world. How could there be two in the same place?
Besides, when he was in the Qingyun Dao Sect, he hadn’t noticed anything wrong with Daoist Tai Hua.
If there was anything wrong, it must be something wrong with the disciples.
It was just a small sect and yet, a supreme expert like Ye Ping appeared.
Chen Lingrou was considered a genius who should not appear in such a small sect.
The other good-for-nothings were quite compatible with the Qingyun Dao Sect.
Su Changyu might be a good-for-nothing in his eyes.
However, when he met Su Changyu who bragged and pretended to be impressive in front of him, he suddenly felt an urge to acknowledge Su Changyu as his master.
After understanding that matter, Gu Jianxian and Da Xu returned to the Qingyun Dao Sect to see what was going on and what had happened.
As soon as they arrived at the Qingyun Dao Sect, Gu Jianxian looked at the rear cliff.
On the rear cliff.
A figure stood with his hands in the air, slightly tilting his head upwards to gaze at the starry sky.
As the breeze blew over, his robe fluttered and his white hair was like snow. His impeccable expression made everything in the world turn dim.
That person was naturally Su Changyu.
Gu Jianxian was attracted by Su Changyu’s appearance.
Even though he was the leader of the Alliance of Itinerant Cultivators and the world’s best Sword Immortal, he had to admit that Su Changyu’s appearance was extraordinary.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he was an immortal.
The only thing that gave it away was his cultivation level.
Perfected Golden Core realm.
‘Wait, no.’
‘How is Su Changyu at the perfected Golden Core realm?’
Gu Jianxian immediately felt that something was wrong. Previously, he remembered that Su Changyu was in the Qi Refinement realm, but he was already at the Golden Core cultivation level now.
‘Ten Golden Cores?’
‘Are you kidding me?’
He knew the horror of split Golden Cores during cultivation, but there had never been so many splits before. Not only were there ten Golden Cores now, each one was round and flawless.
‘Could it be that all the disciples of the Qingyun Dao Sect are pretending to be weak and hiding their true cultivation?’
Gu Jianxian couldn’t help but have some suspicions.
He suspected if the Qingyun Dao Sect really had some secret technique that could allow one to hide their cultivation levels.
Sss!
Da Xu couldn’t help but inhale sharply when he saw Su Changyu who was on the rear cliff.
Just as he guessed, everyone in the Qingyun Dao Sect was indeed an expert.
Now that Daoist Tai Hua was in trouble, Su Changyu immediately returned to the sect and showed his style.
Da Xu quickly ran to the back cliff and said, “Exalted Immortal Changyu, this is the letter that the Sect Leader asked me to hand to you.”
Da Xu took out a letter in his hand and handed it to Su Changyu.
Before he left, Daoist Tai Hua had asked him to bring that letter to Su Changyu and the others.
“Thank you very much.”
Su Changyu nodded slightly and spoke indifferently.
He then opened the letter.
There was a letter for each person in the Qingyun Dao Sect. Su Changyu read the letter that Daoist Tai Hua had left for him.
“Changyu, when you see this letter, I’m no longer around. You don’t have to take revenge for me. I’ve always been indebted to you. You’re the Tenth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty who was born for the world…”
“If you want to awaken the Heavenly Destiny, you just need to return to the Qingyun Dao Sect and set fire on it and the seal can be released… However, if you do that, my Senior Brother might kill you. So, you must be prepared, you can use the power of the Great Qian Dynasty to help you because there is a devil hidden in the Great Xia Dynasty, and he was born for the calamity at the same time that you were born.”
The content of the letter was very simple. Daoist Tai Hua wrote about everything that happened 27 years ago, including the fact that Su Changyu was actually the Tenth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, but Daoist Tai Hua had to intervene and stop him from being used for a sacrifice. Daoist Tai Hua concealed the heavenly secret and Su Changyu’s destiny using the Heavenly Secret Mystical Ability. He then took Su Changyu away and the two of them hid in Qingzhou.
At the same time, he gave Su Changyu two options. One was to remain status quo and continue living the way he used to.
The other was to unlock the heavenly secret and step on another path.
At the end of Daoist Tai Hua’s letter, he also mentioned that he hoped for Su Changyu to take good care of Xu Luochen, whom he was the most worried about among all the disciples.
Xu Luochen had always been out of luck since he was a child and his luck improved only when he was with Su Changyu. In Daoist Tai Hua’s opinion, Su Changyu’s luck was the only thing that could suppress Xu Luochen’s bad luck.
Su Changyu finished reading the letter and stayed silent for a moment before taking a deep breath and speaking again.
“Did Master say anything else?”
Su Changyu asked.
“No, the situation was urgent at the time and Sect Leader sent me away. He asked me to bring the letter to you and said that he doesn’t want you guys to take revenge for him.”
Da Xu said.
Su Changyu did not say anything and simply put the letter away before raising his head slightly to look at the sky.
“Huh?”
At this moment, Gu Jianxian looked at the void too.
In an instant, a ray of sword light landed and a figure appeared. It was Daoist Tai Xuan.
When Daoist Tai Xuan saw Su Changyu who was standing on the rear cliff, he glanced at Gu Jianxian who was at the side too.
“Gu Jianxian.”
Daoist Tai Xuan recognized Gu Jianxian as soon as he saw him and his gaze turned sullen.
He was very confident in his own strength, but Gu Jianxian was the leader of the Alliance of Itinerant Cultivators and also the best Sword Immortal of the world. His strength was truly terrifying.
Su Changyu’s extraordinary strength coupled with Gu Jianxian, he couldn’t help but be wary.
“Exalted Immortal Changyu…”
When Da Xu saw Daoist Tai Xuan, he immediately recognized him and trembled while standing behind Su Changyu.
Gu Jianxian looked at Daoist Tai Xuan.
He could immediately tell that he was there for Changyu, or rather, he was the Mahayana realm cultivator whom Da Xu mentioned.
Besides, Gu Jianxian could sense a menacing sword intent coming from him too. He knew that he was not a simple person.
“Is this what gives you confidence?”
Daoist Tai Xuan looked at Su Changyu and said so.
As he spoke, a black flying sword appeared in his hand, and an infinite menacing aura began to spread.
In this situation, he drew his sword and prepared to attack.
Even if Gu Jianxian was there, he would not be able to stop him. The possibility of becoming an immortal was close at hand and Daoist Tai Xuan could no longer wait. He had to conquer Su Changyu.
“But, you can’t escape the ordeal today no matter what!”
Daoist Tai Xuan raised his long sword that emitted endless rays of light while countless wisps of Sword Qi filled the void around him, blocking his side of the sky.
It was a terrifying move that allowed Gu Jianxian to get a better understanding of Daoist Tai Xuan’s abilities.
‘No wonder he chose to attack me.’
Gu Jianxian pulled out the sword on his back and was about to attack.
After all, Su Changyu was his master even though he decided to be under Su Changyu’s tutelage on a whim.
However, he had just arrived in the Qingyun Dao Sect and he couldn’t let Su Changyu fight Daoist Tai Xuan in this situation.
As a sword cultivator, he saw Daoist Tai Xuan as a prey.
However, Su Changyu raised his hand, stopped Gu Jianxian, and took a step forward before ascending to the sky to face Daoist Tai Xuan calmly.
In an instant, the ten Golden Cores in Su Changyu’s body rose into the sky and turned into large blazing suns that cast on his body.
On the Essence Soul platform, the Green Lotus appeared and grew rapidly like the World Divine Tree that was almost holding up the entire world.
Several shining stars appeared in the sky, making it look like a painting as the weather evolved terrifyingly.
The vision was just too astonishing.
At this moment, Su Changyu seemed to be the only existence in this world.
Everyone else was just like the backdrop.
Daoist Tai Xuan was dumbfounded.
Gu Jianxian was dumbfounded too.
Da Xu was a little confused.
With the Qingyun Mountain Range as the center, everyone in the entire Qingzhou, the Jin Nation, the Ten Nations, and the Great Xia Dynasty couldn’t help but raise their heads and look at the visions in the sky. They were so shocked that they were at a loss for words.
It was simply too extraordinary.
“I said, you’re not worthy of using a sword in front of me.”
Su Changyu said indifferently.
Afterwards, Su Changyu glanced at Gu Jianxian too.
“Gu Mingshi, I once said that I would impart a supreme sword technique to you.”
“Watch this.”
Su Changyu said with a composed expression.
Gu Jianxian couldn’t help but be stunned and dumbfounded after he heard Su Changyu’s words.
When he first became Su Changyu’s disciple, Su Changyu said that he would impart a supreme sword technique to him.
However, he didn’t take it to heart.
At that time, he could already see through Su Changyu’s background and he was aware that Su Changyu was bragging.
However, things were different now. In this situation, Gu Jianxian believed Su Changyu when he said he wanted to pass on a supreme sword technique.
At the same time, Gu Jianxian understood why he agreed to be Su Changyu’s disciple on a whim when Su Changyu mentioned it back then.
After all, after cultivating to his level, his Heart of the Sword was already clear and he wouldn’t get impulses easily.
“Yes.”
Gu Jianxian said and nodded respectfully.
Afterwards, he stared at Su Changyu’s back seriously.
“Hmph! You must have a death wish!”
Daoist Tai Xuan tried to slash Su Changyu.
The terrifying force surged over and the countless Sword Qi that had just been born in the void slashed towards Su Changyu.
It was a full-blown strike of his that was enough to kill the cultivators of the Mahayana realm.
However, at the next moment, Su Changyu said.
“Sword!”
His voice was bright and loud but he wasn’t angry.
“What’s going on?”
Daoist Tai Xuan realized that his power could not be exerted by the sword no matter how hard he tried.
Su Changyu looked at him quietly while his white hair was blown up by the wind. Like a peerless Sword Immortal, he stood in between heaven and earth while the visions around him seemed even more terrifying.
At the same time, countless flying swords flew up into the sky in the entire world of immortal cultivation.
Countless cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation realized that their swords were buzzing and getting out of control.
‘What’s going on?’
“What’s going on with my flying sword!?!”
“Damn it, no wonder it’s a flying sword, it can fly on its own!”
“Is this a mature flying sword? It doesn’t even need to be controlled. It can fly on its own, but why did it fly away?”
“Nooo, I just spent 1,000 Spirit Stones on that flying sword!”
“What’s going on? My sword left on its own. I can still sense it but I can’t control it.”
“Me too, my flying sword has left.”
“What’s going on? Why did this happen?”
“I can feel that someone is summoning it.”
In an instant, everyone in the world of immortal cultivation spoke up.
Their flying swords were all dashing into the sky uncontrollably and soon vanished.
In the headquarters of the Heavenly Supervisory.
The voices sounded.
“What’s happening? Could it be that someone has proven the Dao and become a supreme Sword Immortal? Who is it!?!”
“I didn’t expect anyone to prove the Dao and become a supreme Sword Immortal at this time. Is it Gu Jianxian?”
“There can only be one supreme Sword Immortal in this world. If someone has proven it, what’s going to happen to Junior Brother!?! No, this place is… Qingzhou of the Jin Nation!”
In the Great Qian Dynasty.
Sword light rushed to the sky while countless flying swords flew up and vanished.
“Someone has proven the Dao and become a supreme Sword Immortal. All swords are congratulating it!”
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty exclaimed in shock when he saw that.
For some reason, he thought of Su Changyu.
In the Great Xia Dynasty.
“Um…”
“Someone has proven the Dao and become a supreme Sword Immortal.”
“Could it be the Tenth Prince!?!”
“Is the Tenth Prince really an immortal?”
The powerhouses of the Great Xia Dynasty looked at each other in shock when they saw that.
They could sense that all the flying swords were flying towards the place they wanted to go, and that was Qingzhou of the Jin Nation.
In all the Heavenly Secret Halls of the five dynasties, the constellation map flickered and the diagram vibrated.
“Someone has proven the Dao and become a supreme Sword Immortal. All swords are congratulating it!”
“This… The Ziwei Emperor Star is moving and the stars are shining brightly. Is the Ziwei Emperor Star proving the Dao!?!”
“This vision is too terrifying. There’s no way divination can be done. It’s impossible to investigate. Even a Saint is not this terrifying!”
“This matter must have something to do with the Ziwei Emperor Star. Quickly report this to His Majesty.”
The Itinerant Cultivators Alliance.
Countless flying swords charged into the sky and vanished in the void.
“Could it be that the leader of the alliance is proving the Dao and becoming a Sword Immortal!?!”
“Yes! He must have gone through Immortal Ascension!”
“Hahahaha, the alliance leader is finally becoming a Sword Immortal!”
At this moment, all the flying swords in the entire cultivation world rose up to the sky, crossing the void and appearing behind Su Changyu. They turned into a sword diagram.
The supreme sword diagram.
Su Changyu’s white hair was like snow and he stood with his hands at the side like an immortal.
There were billions of flying swords in the sword diagram behind him. Sword light dashed into the sky and it was so terrifying that the world seemed to have become dim and lackluster.
Many powerhouses in the cultivation world wanted to see what was happening in Qingzhou of the Jin Nation.
However, under the sword intent of the supreme sword diagram, the radiant sword light was so bright that one could not look straight at it.
Daoist Tai Xuan was dumbfounded.
He was stunned and he stood rooted to the spot.
At this moment, Daoist Tai Xuan no longer had the intention to fight.
Although the sword was still in his hand, he was dumbfounded when he looked at the supreme sword diagram behind Su Changyu, as well as the supreme sword intent around him.
‘How am I supposed to fight?’
‘How am I supposed to fight him?’
‘He’s cheating!”
Gu Jianxian stared wide-eyed at Su Changyu’s back.
At this moment, the wooden sword on his back was no longer in his hand either. Instead, it became a sword in his sword diagram.
It was the supreme Sword Immortal Dao!
He looked at Su Changyu with a deadpan expression because Su Changyu had the supreme Sword Immortal Dao that he had always dreamed of.
At this moment, no one was more surprised and aware of how terrifying Su Changyu was than Gu Jianxian.
‘Su Changyu said that he wants to impart the supreme sword technique to me, does he want to teach me to prove it?’
Gu Jianxian looked at the Sword Dao excitedly.
However, he didn’t comprehend anything.
Since he could become the best Sword Immortal in the world, he naturally had good talent in the Sword Dao. Ever since he was a child, he would be able to learn all sword techniques after just looking at them once.
However, he was dumbfounded.
‘No wonder it’s a supreme sword technique!’
If he could learn it easily, how could it be called a supreme sword technique? How could he have proven the Dao and become a Sword Immortal?
However, Su Changyu spoke up at this moment, “Everything in this world! The stars and the moon! The mountains, rivers, and trees! Come on!”
He raised his arm and grabbed in the void.
In an instant, everything seemed to be in Su Changyu’s hand as the rivers and streams converged towards him too.
A longsword appeared in Su Changyu’s hand, on which there were sun, moon, and stars engraved on one side and rivers and grasses on the other. Endless light and sword intent emerged from the sword.
‘Damn it, there’s still other stuff. How are we supposed to do this!?!’
Daoist Tai Xuan was about to have a breakdown.
Looking at the flying sword in his hand and then at the divine sword that Su Changyu was holding, he felt like breaking down
‘You’re so capable. Why must you hide till now?’
‘Is there any point?’
He wanted to escape, but there was no way to do so. Now that this side of the world had been sealed by Su Changyu’s sword, he couldn’t escape at all.
Gu Jianxian was dumbfounded too.
He felt a little conflicted. ‘How can we learn?’
He thought of when Su Changyu told him what the Sword Dao was. Cutting through the sun, moon, and stars with a single blade of grass is the Sword Dao.
However, his Sword Dao was more than just grass and there were lots of other stuff.
Staring at Su Changyu’s back with great excitement, Da Xu looked at the scene in front of him and bore it in mind.
He wanted to learn too.
‘It’s too impressive and invincible.’
‘I’ve at least done so much for the Qingyun Dao Sect and sent letters on Su Changyu’s behalf. There shouldn’t be anything wrong with learning some self-defense skills, right?’
However, even if he didn’t learn it, he would be able to enjoy life with the identity of an elder of the Qingyun Dao Sect.
Indeed, he had made the right choice to suck up to Ye Ping and the Qingyun Dao Sect.
Holding the divine sword in his hand like a supreme Sword Immortal, Su Changyu gave off a power that seemed otherworldly.
“The person who slashed you is Su Changyu, the chief disciple of the Qingyun Dao Sect.”
As soon as he said that, he slashed with his sword.
Before the sword landed, the terrifying sword intent of Sword Qi had already restrained Daoist Tai Xuan’s physical body and forced him to kneel down.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Under the Sword Qi, Daoist Tai Xuan’s physical body cracked continuously and his vitality was diminished without a trace.
The divine sword in Su Changyu’s hand disintegrated while the swords in the diagram behind him surged into the sky one after another. The terrifying sword shadows covered the sky and vanished.
There were Dao artifacts and immortal artifacts surrounding Su Changyu while emitting sounds to indicate that they wanted to follow him.
“Go back.”
Su Changyu did not pick up a single sword and they returned to their respective owners.
A gentle breeze blew past and peace was restored in the world.
