Two Inheritances, Which to Choose?

Seeing his opponent's embarrassed expression, Chen Ning couldn't help but laugh.

This laugh immediately enraged his opponent.

To be precise, it was the Crimson Firmament Sword Saint who lost face.

The adversaries he created.

It can simulate all of the opponent's strength.

You could even say he's a second version of himself.

Even at the level of Sword Immortal, the Crimson Firmament Sword Saint did not fail.

How could such a big mistake have occurred when facing Chen Ning?

He was unable to simulate some of the little guy's strength and abilities.

Little did they know, much of Chen Ning's power came from the system.

The Crimson Firmament Sword Saint could not possibly create it.

But he was, after all, Sword Dao Saint, and was still able to simulate Chen Ning's Sword Dao realm.

At the same time.

All that could be seen was an opponent who looked exactly like Chen Ning taking a step forward.

A sharp Sword Intent condensed and emerged.

The space itself trembled violently, as if it were about to be torn apart—it was utterly terrifying!

The Crimson Firmament Sword Saint watched silently from the void.

I thought Chen Ning would choose to attack head-on.

The little guy disappeared again.

In an instant.

He was completely lifeless.

The next moment.

Chen Ning emerged from the ground, appearing behind his opponent, and said with a smirk, "Watch out!"

After saying that.

A beam of Essence Power shot out.

The sound of something cutting through the air came from behind.

The opponent hurriedly gathered his Sword Intent to defend, but it was too late.

His right arm was pierced through.

After a successful strike.

Chen Ning used Earth Escape Technique to escape again.

This kite-like fighting style leaves the opponent completely helpless.

Unfortunately, he was quite helpless against this Earth Escape Technique.

They could only watch helplessly as Chen Ning came and went, in and out of the earth time and time again.

Chen Ning chose this tactic.

This is because the opponent's Sword Dao power all originates from himself.

If he were to directly confront that Sword Intent, Chen Ning wouldn't be able to guarantee that he could withstand it.

But it doesn't matter.

It's always good to have more skills.

There are many methods.

After an incense stick has burned.

Chen Ning's opponent was covered in wounds and on the verge of collapse.

During the time it takes for an incense stick to burn...

He had been shot by an arrow.

I've been stabbed.

The power was stolen.

He was inexplicably caught in the Blood God Whip.

I finally had a chance to get close.

However, he was not injured by the Sword Intent, but instead was hit by a palm strike and a finger strike.

The power of the Fire God Seal and the Star-Picking Finger is self-evident.

At this time.

This created opponent actually looked up and glanced up, quite human-like.

It seems to be saying, is there any point in continuing the competition?

Chen Ning then appeared once again.

This time, the power of the Great Dao of Music gathered in his left hand, while the True Essence Power of the Lawless True Scripture surged in his right.

The next moment.

But the opponent vanished on the spot.

Chen Ning felt as if he had punched a cotton ball, finding it rather uninteresting.

"Senior... did you pass?"

Chen Ning looked at the Crimson Firmament Sword Saint that had appeared in the void and asked a question.

"It's... it's over..."

The Crimson Firmament Sword Saint felt he had lost face.

You passed this test like it was nothing, which makes him seem stupid.

The young man surnamed Li was locked in a fierce battle before he finally realized his mistake and won a pyrrhic victory.

The result is now yours.

It's like they're here on vacation.

There was absolutely no sense of satisfaction in being the one in control behind the scenes.

The Crimson Firmament Sword Saint couldn't help but sigh, but he still admired Chen Ning's strength.

He actually mastered so many techniques?

They are all very proficient.

Even the final realm of the Great Dao of Music is the supreme realm of Grand Music of the Central Heaven.

That's impressive...

The Crimson Firmament Sword Saint was now just a divine thought, but he was still wise enough not to ask Chen Ning about his secrets.

Chen Ning then addressed the void, "Senior Sword Saint, is there anything else?"

"It's gone..."

The Crimson Firmament Sword Saint's face darkened.

Then.

The scene before me has returned to normal.

Li Changtian and Chen Ning stood together in the ancient hall they had just left.

"You two have both passed the test, overcome yourselves, and are now qualified to receive my inheritance..."

Crimson Firmament Sword Saint finished speaking,

Above the main hall.

Two ancient swords hung in the air.

These two swords are exactly the same as the swords on the two ancient trees at the entrance of the cave abode.

A weapon of divine might, as if it had received boundless glory.

It was a broken sword, only half of it, but the power of the Great Dao flowed within it.

"These two swords, one was used by me in the first half of my life, and the other in the second half. Both contain my legacy. However, when I entered sainthood, I used the sword from the first half of my life. Therefore, if you wish to pursue that level of enlightenment, choose this sword. But the choice is up to you two."

"May I ask, senior, which sword did you use in the first half of your life?"

Li Changtian asked a question.

He believed that the broken sword must have been used by the Crimson Firmament Sword Saint in the first half of his life, and had been through countless battles.

That's what caused the fracture.

Unexpectedly, the Crimson Firmament Sword Saint shook his head and said, "This broken sword is the sword of my later life, while the Sword of Myriad Spirits is the sword I used in the first half of my life."

As he gazed at the Sword of Myriad Spirits, a rare gentleness appeared in the eyes of the Crimson Firmament Sword Saint.

It seems to be recalling a time from ten thousand years ago.

Back then, the Crimson Firmament Sword Saint used this Top-Grade Spirit Artifact to attain the Great Dao and transcend the mortal realm.

The Sword Dao insights it contains represent the best form of inheritance.

"Ding! System notification: Congratulations, host, you have discovered the key item for the legendary main storyline event, [Heaven-Slaying Sword]."

Chen Ning's eyes flickered.

His gaze fell upon the broken sword.

Unexpectedly, this sword is actually related to a legendary main storyline event.

So it seems that way.

This broken sword is essential.

Chen Ning was already interested in that legendary event; the secrets explored by the First-Generation Sect Master and the inherited sword of the Crimson Firmament Sword Saint were somehow connected in some the Unseen.

The two were separated by approximately nine thousand years.

This made Chen Ning even more interested.

Thinking of this, he said, "Senior Sword Saint, I choose this broken sword that you used in the latter half of your life."

"Oh?"

The Crimson Firmament Sword Saint was taken aback; he hadn't expected Chen Ning to make such a choice.

But then I thought about it again.

Chen Ning's acquisition of the Moon-Slaying Sword must be a stroke of good fortune; perhaps he is the only one capable of wielding the Heaven-Sealing Sword.

The Crimson Firmament Sword Saint said, "You should think this through carefully. When I reached the Mahayana stage, I used this Sword of Myriad Spirits. I'm not exaggerating when I say that as long as you choose this Sword of Myriad Spirits, you will definitely enter the Saint Realm in the future."

Become a saint.

This is a very tempting option.

What countless cultivators ultimately seek is to transcend the mortal realm and attain sainthood.

Even Li Changtian was not immune to this.

His pursuit of the pinnacle of Sword Dao is to become Sword Dao Saint.

He had been somewhat worried that if Sect Leader Chen also chose this sword, the two of them would inevitably fight over it, which might even damage their relationship.

But now, faced with Chen Ning's choice.

Li Changtian continued to advise, "Sect Leader Chen, although I wish there were no conflict between us, I must make it clear to you that the inheritance contained within the Sword of Myriad Spirits is extraordinary. Given time, just as the Sword Saint said, it will help us advance to the Saint Realm. While this broken sword also has the power of the Great Dao flowing through it, it ultimately carries a sense of desolation."

Li Changtian spoke very frankly.

He didn't try to fool Chen Ning into not competing with him.

Instead, they shared it generously.

This alone made Chen Ning admire him once again.
