The back mountain of Tongtian Peak.

The Ancestral Hall.

This was a forbidden area of the Qingyun Sect.

Normally, only the Sect Leader, True Person Dao Xuan, could come here. Even the peak masters and elders of the other meridians would not trespass without reason.

"Swish—"

An old man stood beneath a tree.

He held a broom in his hand, quietly sweeping away the fallen leaves around him. After all, it was the only thing he could do.

The sweeping old man was hunched over.

He wore a faded gray robe, his face covered in deep wrinkles. Only his eyes, though cloudy, occasionally flashed with a sharp glint.

"Shua!"

Just then.

The calm night sky was suddenly illuminated.

Brilliant golden sword intent covered almost the entire sky, the starry night directly cut off by a single sword. A sword mark spanning several miles appeared above the Qingyun Sect.

"Swish—"

The sweeping old man paused slightly.

A sharp glint appeared in his eyes. He abruptly looked towards Grand Bamboo Peak, as if sensing something—

A sword!

A sword of ultimate sharpness!

Even stronger than his own?

Wan Jianyi's eyes flickered with surprise and uncertainty.

When did the Qingyun Sect produce such a peerless sword cultivator?

"Shua!"

Just then.

A dark green figure appeared in the darkness.

A Daoist priest, dressed in a dark green robe, stood in the shadows and said, "Junior Brother, what do you think of this sword?"

Hearing this.

Wan Jianyi paused.

He glanced at Dao Xuan and said faintly, "It's not your disciple, is it?"

"Heh."

True Person Dao Xuan chuckled lightly, "Whether it's my disciple or not doesn't matter, as long as it's a disciple of the Qingyun Sect."

Wan Jianyi fell silent and asked, "Which meridian?"

"Grand Bamboo Peak," True Person Dao Xuan replied.

"Grand Bamboo Peak?"

Wan Jianyi raised an eyebrow slightly. "Tian Buyi has actually taken in a good seedling. Is it someone he accepted in recent years?!"

"No."

"It's the child from five years ago."

True Person Dao Xuan shook his head.

"Five years ago?"

Wan Jianyi recalled, "Was it that child named 'Wang Quan Yan'?"

Five years ago.

Wang Quan Yan, who broke the Qingyun Sect's cultivation record, became famous throughout the entire sect. Even Wan Jianyi, who was hiding in the Ancestral Hall, had heard of him.

Later?

Wang Quan Yan fell into silence.

Wan Jianyi didn't pay much attention.

After all, he could barely protect himself.

Why would he care about others?

Heh—

"Yes."

True Person Dao Xuan nodded.

He smiled and said, "What? Junior Brother, do you have any thoughts on passing down the Ghost Slaying God?"

Wan Jianyi was silent for a moment.

He calmly swung the broom in his hand, his eyes holding only the stillness of stagnant water, as if indifferent to everything in the world.

However, Deep within that stillness.

A faint ripple flashed by – like ancient bones buried underground, brushed by a gentle spring breeze, stirring long-cooled memories.

"I've been dead for a long time."

"I can't see the light."

Wan Jianyi said faintly.

Hearing this.

True Person Dao Xuan opened his mouth.

He sighed softly and ultimately said nothing.

A moment later.

He turned and left.

However, After True Person Dao Xuan left.

Wan Jianyi, who had been sweeping the ground, suddenly stopped.

He turned slightly, looked up at the sky, and gazed at the faint golden sword intent, the terrifying sword mark stretching for miles, remaining silent for a long time…

Sword cultivators are always deeply connected.

Wan Jianyi, was no exception.

"If I just let the Ghost Slaying God be passed down through my hands?"

"I'm afraid the patriarchs of all generations wouldn't forgive me?"

Wan Jianyi muttered to himself.

He turned to look at the many memorial tablets in the Ancestral Hall, as if he had made a certain decision in his heart.

That night, Small Bamboo Peak, Moon Gazing Platform.

The cold moonlight filtered through layers of clouds and mist, shining upon the platform, creating a dreamlike, ethereal scene with mist swirling around.

"Swish—"

A clear sword light flickered.

A young girl in a white dress stood on the platform, practicing her sword.

She didn't look very old?

Around seventeen or eighteen years old, but her posture was already quite developed.

The girl, in a flowing white dress, her hair flying.

Her delicate face was flawless, and her clear eyes held a touch of coldness. Her fair skin and graceful figure made her seem like a celestial being from the heavens amidst the mist—

"Swish!"

Azure sword light flashed.

Lu Xueqi wielded a sky-blue divine sword, continuously swinging it on the Moon Gazing Platform, faint sword energy surging like rainbow light.

"Rumble!"

Just then.

Terrifying golden sword light suddenly flashed across the sky.

Lu Xueqi's figure flickered.

She slightly raised her eyes, her clear gaze fixed on the night sky, her eyes unable to contain anything else, with only a faint golden sword intent echoing in her vision…

"This sword?"

Lu Xueqi whispered.

Her gaze turned towards Grand Bamboo Peak in the distance, and she seemed to recall something—

"Is it him?"

Lu Xueqi remembered the young man from five years ago.

Five years ago.

Su Ru once brought Tian Ling'er and Wang Quan Yan to Small Bamboo Peak as guests. At that time, Wang Quan Yan had just spent half a month cultivating to the third level of Jade Purity, and his reputation was incredibly bright—

Back then.

Lu Xueqi had met Wang Quan Yan once.

At that time, Lu Xueqi had already inherited the Heavenly Azure Divine Sword. The moment she and Wang Quan Yan met, their eyes locked onto each other.

The Sovereign Sword and the Heavenly Azure Sword vibrated simultaneously.

This—

Was it a sign that they were destined for a battle?!

At that time.

Lu Xueqi had already marked Wang Quan Yan as someone to catch up to.

After all, the other party's cultivation speed was truly monstrous—one level of Jade Purity in a day, three levels in half a month. Who knew how much more monstrous he would become later?!

Unfortunately.

Later, Wang Quan Yan remained stuck at the third level of Jade Purity.

His cultivation made no progress.

Lu Xueqi and he gradually lost contact.

At that time.

She felt quite regretful.

After all, how could such an unparalleled prodigy be stuck at the threshold of the fourth level of Jade Purity?!

It just didn't seem right.

Now.

Everything could finally be explained.

"So—"

"You've been consolidating your power all these years?"

Lu Xueqi murmured softly.

She looked up at the sword mark in the sky, and it felt as if she had a spiritual connection, understanding Wang Quan Yan's intentions.

He—

Was using 'this sword strike' to announce his return!

This strike was the fruit of his five years of dormancy!

"What's this strike called?"

Lu Xueqi asked softly.

Was she asking herself?

After all, there was no one around to answer her!

But, Just then.

"Swish!"

A faint golden sword intent descended upon the Moon Gazing Platform.

In a daze.

Lu Xueqi seemed to gain some insight.

"Heaven and Earth One Sword?"

"Sovereign Sword Intent?"

She whispered to herself.

"Boom!"

In an instant, The Heavenly Azure Divine Sword erupted with brilliant radiance.

A beam of azure sword light directly shattered this Sovereign Sword Intent.

The maiden's clear eyes looked towards Grand Bamboo Peak.

"I look forward to our battle."

"Wang Quan Yan."
