"Disciple Ye Xuan, I implore the Sect Master to take me in," Ye Xuan said with burning eyes and a sincere tone.

Lin Feng glanced at Ye Xuan indifferently, showing no reaction. A smile with an unreadable meaning curved his lips, and he occasionally cast a glance at the sword-shaped pendant hanging around Ye Xuan's neck, lost in thought.

At that moment.

Inside the sword-shaped pendant, the female remnant soul's heart skipped a beat, and her eyelids twitched. "Oh no, did he discover me?"

She was shocked.

One had to know that this sword-shaped pendant was no ordinary item; it was a peerless treasure. Not only could it nourish a damaged divine soul, but it could also sever all probing spiritual senses. In her past life, it was thanks to this pendant that a wisp of her soul survived her imminent demise. Many powerful beings had failed to discover her.

Yet now, the young Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect before her was terrifyingly powerful, able to ignore the treasure's might and directly perceive her existence through a great divine ability.

Wasn't this too monstrous?

From this moment on, the young Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect and the Divine Sword Sect became increasingly mysterious and imposing in her mind.

If Lin Feng knew her current thoughts, he would surely burst into laughter.

He didn't have any great divine abilities at all. He had simply read too many novels and was all too familiar with such clichéd plots, which led him to guess.

It was the typical trope where a down-on-his-luck young man, after suffering some setback or being suppressed and hunted, would always have a powerful old man by his side to help him rise to prominence.

Wasn't Ye Xuan's situation a prime example of this?

Lin Feng could naturally see through this trope at a glance.

Meanwhile, the woman in the pendant was in a dilemma: should she reveal herself actively?

Just then, Lin Feng casually placed his hands behind his back, and a tangible golden light shot out from his eyes, locking onto the sword-shaped pendant like two divine weapons.

Simultaneously, an overwhelming pressure erupted from him, sweeping towards the sword-shaped pendant like a hurricane.

That's right, this was the Chaos Pressure actively offered by the System!

It was sharp and incomparably domineering!

At this moment, Lin Feng shouted, "Do you think mere tricks can escape this Sect Master's pháp nhãn? Why haven't you revealed yourself yet?"

"Oh no! He really found me!"

The woman in the pendant's pretty face changed drastically. At this moment, she clearly felt an unprecedented crisis.

While outsiders might not feel anything, this shout sounded like thunder to her.

How could a targeted aura amplified by Chaos Pressure be easily dealt with?

If she were still at her peak, she might have been able to contend with this aura.

But now, with her strength completely destroyed and only a remnant soul left, how could she possibly resist such a sharp and domineering aura?

At this moment, a trace of sorrow appeared on her pretty face.

Alas, alas...

Soon, the sword-shaped pendant hummed, and with a flash of golden light, a phantom of a woman appeared before Lin Feng.

The woman had delicate features and a peerless countenance. Her three thousand strands of black hair moved without wind, and her expression was proud, her eyes radiating a world-dominating aura.

She was truly magnificent!

Even though her current state was a phantom, she was surrounded by specks of golden light, emanating a misty aura, like the brightest star in the night sky, eternal and unextinguishable.

Even though she was just a remnant soul at this moment, the sharp aura emanating from her was enough to prove her extraordinary achievements in life.

This was the demeanor of an Immortal Tier powerhouse!

She was dressed in a plain white dress, with a slightly wide white silk ribbon tied at her waist, accentuating her curvaceous figure. This white attire perfectly complemented her pure and untainted, untainted by mud, unstained by ripples, yet not seductive, aura.

She stood in the void, her white dress fluttering slightly, like a goddess descending from the high heavens, giving people a sense of mystery and dominance, someone to be admired from afar but not approached.

"What the heck?"

Lin Feng subconsciously rubbed his eyes. "Shouldn't this be a white-bearded old man?"

"How did it turn into a magnificent woman?"

He was a little stunned.

Has this trope also started to innovate?

However, it was somewhat interesting.

The protagonist's companions weren't always white-bearded old men; they could also be magnificent female ghosts.

As for Ye Xuan, he was completely dumbfounded after seeing this woman.

Clearly, he had never seen the true appearance of the senior within the sword-shaped pendant before.

Wasn't this a bit too much of a departure?

"My name is Xuanyuan Qingtian."

"I began cultivating swordsmanship at six, achieved great sword dao at sixteen, and had no undefeated peers among the younger generation in the Canglang Realm."

"At twenty-one, I had no equal with a sword within the Canglang Realm."

"At twenty-five, I severed my inner demon with my sword, thus achieving the Slaughter Sword Dao and earning the title of Sword Demon."

"At the age of thirty-five, I achieved the rank of Saint."

"I thought I would be invincible throughout the universe, but unexpectedly, an accident caused my realm to fall back to the Earth Immortal Realm."

"Since then, I have been trapped in the Qiankun Divine Palace within the Sword-shaped Pendant for three thousand years. Despite all my efforts, I couldn't step out of the palace even half a step, leaving behind only a wisp of my remnant soul."

The woman named Xuanyuan Qingtian revealed her origin, her clear and cold gaze radiating a hint of pride.

Although she could clearly sense the terrifying pressure released by Lin Feng, she remained neither servile nor overbearing, showing no trace of timidity.

Rather than being forcibly summoned, it was better to reveal herself proactively, at least to avoid damaging her reputation.

"What? No match for anyone in the Divine Continent Realm? The rank of Saint?" At this moment, Lin Feng was somewhat unsettled, or rather, shocked.

What is a Saint?

That is a super powerful being who surpasses the Postnatal and reaches the Innate. There isn't a single Saint in the entire Divine Continent Realm right now.

In terms of cultivation realms, the four major cultivation realms divided by the Yanhuang Kingdom are merely Postnatal. Only after surpassing these four realms can one reach the Innate Realm, which is a legendary existence.

Those who reach the Innate Realm are truly like Immortals, capable of controlling the elements at will.

Moreover, Xuanyuan Qingtian cultivates the most aggressive and difficult-to-master Sword Dao.

Entering Dao Through Sword!

He is merely at the Eighth Stage Form Manifestation Realm. The difference between them is more than a hundred thousand miles!

"Hiss~, it seems that Xuanyuan Qingtian was an absolute overlord of this world three thousand years ago!" Lin Feng exclaimed in his heart.

At the same time, a desire to recruit Xuanyuan Qingtian arose spontaneously.

Just imagine, if Xuanyuan Qingtian's strength were to recover to its peak, with her guarding the Divine Sword Sect, wouldn't they be able to walk sideways in the Divine Continent Realm?

"Ding! The System senses the appearance of a Heavenly Talent Disciple and a Fated Woman's remnant soul before the Master. The System is overjoyed and specially presents the Master with a Super Gift Pack."

"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the God-tier Sword Skill ranked eighteenth in the world, [Nine Heavens Sword Art]!"

"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining a God-tier Peerless Treasure, a piece of Chaos Jade!"

"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining a Ninth Grade Yin-Yang Sacred Lotus!"

"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining an Immortal Artifact, the Xuanyuan Divine Sword!"

"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the Elder Cultivation Peak and Living Quarters!"

"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining one hundred top-tier Postnatal Cultivation Methods and Martial Skills!"
