Sword Intent! A Peak Showdown Between Two Great Sword Cultivators!

Tongtian Peak.

As the main lineage of the Qingyun Sect's Sect Leader.

The defensive systems here were quite formidable.

The main array of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation was deployed here.

Furthermore, halfway up Tongtian Peak, an anti-air formation was established. Anyone who dared to fly a sword in the skies above Tongtian Peak would be subject to indiscriminate attacks from the formation...

Lightly, they would suffer severe injuries!

Severely, there was even a risk of perishing!

"Whoosh!"

Two streaks of sword light sliced through the sky.

Wang Quan Yan followed Chang Jian all the way to Tongtian Peak.

The two of them landed halfway up the mountain.

They then planned to ascend on foot.

Qingyun Sect had a total of Seven Great Wonders.

Two of these, whether it was a story or not, were located on Tongtian Peak: the sea of clouds and the rainbow bridge.

Wang Quan Yan followed Chang Jian as he walked towards the summit.

This was his first time visiting Tongtian Peak.

Although he had met Sect Leader True Person Dao Xuan before, that was at Grand Bamboo Peak...

"Swish!"

Passing through the sea of clouds, crossing the rainbow bridge.

Wang Quan Yan briefly admired the scenery here before shifting his gaze to a deep pool beneath the rainbow bridge.

If he remembered correctly.

This should be the pool where the Spiritual Venerable resided?

The Spiritual Venerable was the mountain-protecting divine beast of Qingyun Sect. It was a water qilin subdued by Ancestor Qingye on the East Sea shore a thousand years ago. It possessed great spirituality and profound strength, though it was usually a bit lazy...

Always sleeping.

"Junior Brother Wang Quan, are you looking at the Spiritual Venerable?"

Chang Jian noticed Wang Quan Yan's small movement.

"You've made me look foolish, Senior Brother Chang Jian."

Wang Quan Yan smiled faintly and then withdrew his gaze.

Chang Jian shook his head with a smile and said, "As the Spiritual Venerable is our Qingyun Sect's mountain-protecting divine beast, it's normal for us disciples to be curious. However..."

"The Spiritual Venerable usually resides in the deep pool."

"It doesn't show itself unless it's necessary."

"It's quite difficult to see it."

Wang Quan Yan nodded and said, "There will be opportunities to see it."

With that.

He didn't linger any longer.

He continued to follow Chang Jian forward.

Passing through the sea of clouds, crossing the rainbow bridge.

An open plaza appeared ahead. A magnificent grand hall stood at the end of the plaza, which was the main hall of Tongtian Peak—Jade Purity Hall.

Jade Purity Hall was where the Sect Leaders of past generations worked and cultivated.

It was also where the various lineages usually held their meetings.

"Junior Brother Wang Quan."

"Please wait a moment. I'll go in and report to Master."

Chang Jian instructed.

Upon hearing this.

Wang Quan Yan nodded slightly.

He waited outside the hall for a moment.

Not long after.

Chang Jian came out and said, "Junior Brother Wang Quan, Master wants you to go in."

"Alright."

Wang Quan Yan gave a slight bow to Chang Jian.

He then calmly walked into the Jade Purity Hall.

His robes fluttered, his expression was serene, and his deep eyes were as still as an ancient well, showing no trace of fear on the surface.

Entering the Jade Purity Hall.

Wang Quan Yan immediately saw a Taoist priest in a dark green robe standing on the steps. The man exuded an air of immortal grace and had a gentle expression. He was none other than the current Sect Leader of Qingyun Sect—

True Person Dao Xuan!

"Disciple Wang Quan Yan pays his respects to Sect Leader Uncle-Master!"

Wang Quan Yan bowed respectfully.

"Xiao Yan, it's been a while..."

True Person Dao Xuan said with a smile.

Hearing this.

Wang Quan Yan nodded slightly and said, "Reporting to Uncle-Master, it's been several years since we last met..."

Several years ago.

True Person Dao Xuan had personally visited Grand Bamboo Peak to see Wang Quan Yan twice. One time was because his cultivation speed was too heaven-defying, and the other was because he had been unable to break through the Fourth Layer of Jade Purity for a long time.

"I heard your cultivation has all returned?"

True Person Dao Xuan inquired.

"Yes, Sect Leader Uncle-Master."

Wang Quan Yan nodded.

He recounted to True Person Dao Xuan the reason he had informed Tian Buyi about not long ago.

Regarding this.

True Person Dao Xuan had already heard about it.

He glanced at the Sovereign Sword in Wang Quan Yan's hand, genuinely curious about the origin of this divine sword.

In the past.

When Wang Quan Yan joined Qingyun Sect, he carried this Sovereign Sword with him. At that time, everyone in Qingyun Sect thought it was just an ordinary mortal sword?

But who would have thought—

The Sovereign Sword later displayed astonishing power!

Could this be a divine weapon from the Nine Heavens?

True Person Dao Xuan attempted to investigate the origin of the 'Sovereign Sword'.

However—

No matter how many ancient texts he consulted?

He could never find any records pertaining to the 'Sovereign Sword'.

With no other option.

True Person Dao Xuan had to give up.

After all, no matter what.

The Sovereign Sword was in the hands of a disciple of his Qingyun Sect.

That was enough.

At this moment.

Wang Quan Yan was unaware of True Person Dao Xuan's thoughts.

If he knew?

He would probably just chuckle to himself.

Of course, you couldn't find the origin of the Sovereign Sword in the Jade Dynasty world!

After all—

This sword wasn't from the Jade Dynasty world at all!

Besides.

The Sovereign Sword was definitely more than just a divine weapon from the Nine Heavens. Its power far exceeded people's imagination, but the current Wang Quan Yan was temporarily unable to unleash its full power. If anything, perhaps...

The power of the Sovereign Sword could rival Qingyun Sect's Immortal Slaying Sword!

"Xiao Yan."

"Since your cultivation has recovered? Then go to the Ancestor's Hall and offer incense to the past ancestors of our Qingyun Sect."

True Person Dao Xuan said with emotion:

"It's rare for our Qingyun Sect to have a Prodigy like you. I believe the spirits of our past ancestors will be pleased."

His expression held a touch of emotion.

Was it as if Wang Quan Yan had been summoned to Tongtian Peak merely to light some incense?

Likely not!

Wang Quan Yan's eyes flickered slightly.

Upon hearing the words 'Ancestor's Hall', he immediately understood True Person Dao Xuan's intentions.

After all, he knew the plot.

Who was in the Ancestor's Hall?

He knew perfectly well!

At this moment.

Wang Quan Yan showed no extraneous emotion on his face. He respectfully bowed to True Person Dao Xuan and then said:

"Yes, Sect Leader Uncle-Master."

With that.

He turned and left Jade Purity Hall, heading towards the back mountain of Tongtian Peak.

True Person Dao Xuan watched his receding back and sighed softly, saying, "Xiao Yan, opportunity has been laid out before you..."

"Whether you can grasp it?

"That depends on you."

Tongtian Peak Back Mountain.

Ancestor's Hall.

Wang Quan Yan walked slowly along a secluded path. Not far ahead of him was an old man sweeping the ground.

The man wore a grey robe, his face calm, his eyes like a still ancient well, revealing a hint of withered despair, as if he had lost all hope in life.

"Swish!"

Wan Jianyi sensed someone's arrival.

He turned to look at the youth not far away.

It was nothing to look, but...

When he looked –

He couldn't tear his eyes away.

In his eyes.

The youth before him was covered in brilliant golden Sword Intent, exuding an air of high spirits, like a sharp sword yet to be unsheathed.

A Sword Cultivator!

This was a true Sword Cultivator!

Wan Jianyi's interest was piqued.

He subconsciously released his own Sword Intent and then fiercely pressed it towards the youth before him. This was all an impulse; seeing a fellow cultivator, he instinctively wanted to spar.

That was all.

"Boom—"

Wang Quan Yan suddenly looked up.

His eyes erupted with brilliant golden light.

The moment he sensed Wan Jianyi making a move?

He also unleashed his Sovereign Sword Intent without hesitation!

"Boom!"

The two Sword Intents violently collided.

The peak confrontation between two Sword Cultivators?

It thus began!
