What is Sword Heart? Wan Jianyi is already dead!

"Boom—"

Behind Tongtian Peak, in the Ancestor's Hall.

Brilliant golden sword intent and dazzling white sword intent collided, instantly stirring up a strong gust of wind around them!

Sword intent?

It was an intangible existence!

Ordinary people couldn't see it with their naked eyes, only feeling a gust of wind that stung their faces.

"Boom!"

At this moment.

The young man stood calmly in place.

His green daoist robe fluttered without wind, his black hair casually tied back, his handsome face showing no emotion. His deep eyes were as still as an ancient well, within which a dazzling golden light shot up into the sky.

"Swish—"

The Sovereign Sword trembled slightly.

The surrounding Sovereign Sword Intent instantly evolved into countless light swords, fiercely pressing down on Wan Jianyi in front of him, as if wanting to engulf him.

Seeing this scene.

Wan Jianyi's expression shifted slightly in surprise.

Sword intent taking form?

Being able to evolve sword intent into various forms!

This was enough to prove that Wang Quan Yan had walked a very long path in the way of the sword. He was a true swordsman, a true Sword Cultivator—

"Good!"

"Excellent!"

Wan Jianyi couldn't help but exclaim.

His long-dormant heart suddenly became active, as if encountering a kindred spirit, and he couldn't help but make a move.

As it turned out, it was precisely so.

Wan Jianyi seemed to see his own reflection in Wang Quan Yan?

In his past, he was also so dazzling.

So radiant.

But—

Time spares no one!

A hint of melancholy flashed in Wan Jianyi's eyes.

But he quickly rallied himself. After all, now was not the time to dwell on such thoughts. Let the past remain in the past.

Now?

He just wanted to have a good sword duel!

"Boom!"

Wan Jianyi's sharpness was fully revealed.

The dazzling light flickered in his calm eyes, an indomitable aura emanated from him, and an extremely wild sword intent shot up into the sky.

The Dragon Slaying Sword that charges forward!

The Ghost Slaying God that returns all swords to one!

This was his sword intent, this was his Dao of the Sword, this was his swordsmanship!

"Come!"

Wan Jianyi laughed heartily.

He actively released his sword intent to meet the challenge, seemingly wanting to have a serious spar with Wang Quan Yan.

Seeing this scene.

Wang Quan Yan did not refuse.

Because he also wanted to gauge his own strength.

If it were based on sword intent alone?

How strong was he!

"Boom—"

The collision of swords instantly stirred up a gust of wind above the Ancestor's Hall, scattering the surrounding clouds, and a bit of sword intent leaked out.

"Sigh."

"Truly doesn't make things easy."

In the shadows, True Person Dao Xuan let out a soft sigh.

He had intended for Wang Quan Yan to inherit the Ghost Slaying God, but how did the two end up fighting like this?

As expected.

Those who play with swords are all a bit… off.

True Person Dao Xuan felt a sense of helplessness. He took the initiative to dispel the leaked Sword Intent, preventing the other peak masters from noticing…

After all.

Wan Jianyi's fearless Sword Intent.

The other peak masters were all too familiar with it.

If they were to learn that Wan Jianyi was not dead? Then the dark secret of the past would also be impossible to keep!

Three hundred years ago.

The Demonic Cult produced a top-tier ambitious figure named Chou Wangyu. He rose through the ranks, achieved great unification for the Demonic Cult, and then led his forces to directly attack Qingyun Sect…

At that time.

Qingyun Sect was truly on the verge of annihilation.

The peak masters and elders of all factions died, and even the previous Sect Leader of Qingyun Sect, Tian Chengzi, perished after that battle—

However.

He did not die at the hands of the Demonic Cult.

Instead, He died at the hands of Dao Xuan and Wan Jianyi.

Three hundred years ago.

Facing the invasion of the Demonic Cult.

The previous Sect Leader, Tian Chengzi, was helpless. He could only choose to use his cultivation of the 'Supreme Purity Realm' to summon the Immortal Slaying Sword. Although he successfully repelled the Demonic Cult's invasion and dealt them a heavy blow, but…

Tian Chengzi himself was backlashed by the Immortal Slaying Sword, his mind silently eroded by its malevolent energy, causing him to fall into a state of demonic possession.

Later.

The two prodigies of the current Qingyun Sect, Dao Xuan and Wan Jianyi.

They were helpless and forced to kill their own master.

Ultimately, the blame was borne by 'Wan Jianyi'.

Dao Xuan then inherited the position of Sect Leader.

On the surface.

True Person Dao Xuan had 'executed' Wan Jianyi.

But in reality, he had secretly saved Wan Jianyi and housed him within the Ancestor's Hall, essentially keeping him hidden away.

With such a turn of events.

Although Wan Jianyi survived.

He was also dead—

His spirit had died.

From then on.

The once spirited and peerless prodigy disappeared, replaced by an old man merely surviving and sweeping the floors in the Ancestor's Hall.

"Boom!"

The two great Sword Intents collided and ground against each other.

An invisible gale swept through the surroundings.

Wang Quan Yan, his black hair flying and his daoist robe billowing, calmly turned his gaze towards Wan Jianyi in front of him.

Wan Jianyi also happened to look over.

At this point.

Their confrontation came to a brief halt.

It was probably a draw in the end?

Wan Jianyi looked at Wang Quan Yan before him with a complex expression. He felt he had been wrong…

Was Wang Quan Yan like his past self?

No, no, no!

Wang Quan Yan was even more dazzling than his past self, more exceptionally talented. He was unique and would not resemble anyone else—

Because.

No one could compare to him!

If any Qingyun Sect disciple from past generations could be compared to Wang Quan Yan, perhaps it would only be Ancestor Qingye from a thousand years ago?

Such an existence cannot be labeled as a prodigy!

Because they are true anomalies, rare and unique existences in history!

"That sword just now."

"What was its name?"

Wan Jianyi couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this.

The young man slightly raised his eyes.

He stood tall, his aura sharp to the extreme, like a divine sword yet to be unsheathed.

"Sovereign Sword."

"Sovereign Sword Intent."

Wang Quan Yan said calmly.

He held up the divine sword in his hand, revealing the two characters 'Sovereign Sword' on the sword's guard, making it clear for Wan Jianyi to see.

"Alas."

Upon hearing this.

Wan Jianyi sighed softly and said, "I lost..."

In that recent exchange.

Although it ended in a draw, what was his cultivation level? And what was Wang Quan Yan's cultivation level?

Wan Jianyi had been practicing sword for several hundred years.

How old was Wang Quan Yan?

A draw.

Was already the worst possible outcome.

"No!"

Wang Quan Yan shook his head.

He looked at Wan Jianyi before him and said, "Senior, you have simply lost your heart."

With that said.

He pointed to his chest and continued, "A sword cultivator who has lost their Sword Heart is like a person who has lost hope in life. Although I don't know what you've been through, Senior, but..."

"I wish you find your Sword Heart again soon."

Wang Quan Yan naturally knew about Wan Jianyi's experiences, but it wasn't something he could easily bring up...

Therefore.

This was the only way he could comfort Wan Jianyi.
