Beauty That Topples Kingdoms

"Disciple Ye Xuan humbly begs Esteemed Sect Master to take me in," Ye Xuan said, his gaze burning and his tone sincere.

Lin Feng merely swept a faint glance over Ye Xuan without showing any reaction. Only an inscrutable curve tugged at the corner of his lips as he occasionally glanced at the Sword-shaped Pendant hanging around Ye Xuan's neck, no one knowing what he was thinking.

At once,

inside the Sword-shaped Pendant, the Female Remnant Soul's heart skipped a beat, and her eyelid twitched. This is bad. Has he discovered me?

She was stunned.

The Sword-shaped Pendant was no ordinary object. It was a Peerless Treasure that could not only nourish damaged souls but also sever all probing Spiritual Sense. When she had been at death's door in her previous life, she had relied on it to preserve a wisp of her remnant soul. So many great powers had failed to discover her.

Yet now, the young Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect before her was terrifying to such a degree that he could ignore the treasure's power and directly use a Great Divine Ability to perceive her existence.

Wasn't that a little too monstrous?

From that moment onward, this young Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect and the Divine Sword Sect itself grew ever more mysterious and towering in her heart.

Had Lin Feng known what she was thinking at that moment, he would have been unable to stop himself from laughing.

What Great Divine Ability did he have? He had simply read too many novels and had long become accustomed to such clichéd plots, so he had guessed it.

Whenever some down-and-out youth appeared at the start, suffering setbacks or being oppressed and hunted down, there would always be some badass old man by his side to help him rise to power.

Wasn't Ye Xuan's situation the most typical example of them all?

Naturally, Lin Feng could see through such a routine at a glance.

But the woman within the pendant was deeply conflicted. Should she take the initiative to reveal herself?

Just then, Lin Feng casually clasped his hands behind his back. His eyes suddenly burst with tangible golden light, like two divine weapons locking directly onto the Sword-shaped Pendant.

At the same time, an overwhelming pressure abruptly erupted from his body and swept toward the Sword-shaped Pendant like a hurricane.

That was right—this was the Chaos Pressure the system had voluntarily offered up!

Sharp and incomparably tyrannical!

At that moment, Lin Feng shouted, "You think such petty tricks can escape this Sect Master's discerning eyes? Show yourself at once! What are you waiting for?"

This is bad! He really found me!

The woman inside the pendant underwent a drastic change in expression. At that moment, she felt an unprecedented danger with utter clarity.

Outsiders might not have felt much, but to her, that shout was like a bolt of thunder.

How could the targeted aura enhanced by Chaos Pressure possibly be easy to contend with?

Had she still been at her peak, she might have been able to measure herself against this aura.

But now, all her strength had been destroyed, leaving only a remnant soul. How could she resist such sharp and domineering force?

At that moment, a trace of desolation crept onto her beautiful face.

So be it, so be it...

Soon, the Sword-shaped Pendant let out a hum. Golden light flashed, and a Female Phantom appeared before Lin Feng.

Her features were exquisite and her beauty peerless. Her cascading black hair stirred without wind, her expression proud, and her eyes radiated an aura of dominance over all beneath heaven.

She was truly unparalleled in grace!

Though she was only a phantom at this moment, specks of golden light clustered around her, wisps of mist curling about her. She was like the brightest star in the night sky, eternal and undying.

Even as merely a wisp of remnant soul, the trace of Sharp Aura emanating from her was enough to prove that her achievements in life had been extraordinary.

This was the bearing of an Immortal-ranked great power!

She wore a Plain White Dress, with a slightly broad White Silk Ribbon tied around her waist, accentuating her graceful curves. That pure white perfectly set off her temperament: unstained by mud despite emerging from it, neither beguiling nor seductive even when washed by clear ripples.

She stood upon empty air, her white dress fluttering faintly, like a divine maiden descending from the High Heavens. She gave off a mysterious and domineering feeling—one fit only to be admired from afar, never approached.

"What the hell?"

Lin Feng subconsciously rubbed the corners of his eyes. "Shouldn't this have been some white-bearded Old Man?"

"How did it turn into a woman of peerless grace?"

He was somewhat dumbfounded.

Had this routine begun to cast off the old and bring forth the new as well?

Still, it was rather interesting.

The protagonist's side did not necessarily have to be filled with white-bearded old men. There could also be a female ghost of peerless grace.

Meanwhile, Ye Xuan was directly dumbstruck upon seeing her.

Clearly, he had never seen the true appearance of the senior within the Sword-shaped Pendant either.

Wasn't this difference a little too great?

"My name is Xuanyuan Qingtian."

"I began practicing the sword at six. At sixteen, I achieved mastery in Sword Dao and challenged disciples of my generation from sects large and small throughout the Canglang Realm, remaining undefeated."

"At twenty-one, there was no one in the Canglang Realm who could rival me with a sword."

"At twenty-five, I slew my Inner Demon with my sword. From then on, I achieved the Slaughter Sword Dao and earned the title of Sword Demon."

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

"I thought that from then on I would roam the cosmos without an equal. Who could have known that an unforeseen mishap would arise, causing my realm to fall to the Earth Immortal Realm?"

"Since then, I have been trapped within the Qiankun Divine Palace inside the Sword-shaped Pendant for three thousand years. I exhausted everything I had, yet could not leave the palace by even half a step, leaving behind only a wisp of remnant soul."

The woman named Xuanyuan Qingtian revealed her origins, a trace of pride shining through her cold gaze.

Although she could clearly sense the terrifying pressure Lin Feng had released, she remained neither humble nor overbearing, without the slightest hint of fear.

Rather than being forcibly driven out in the end, she might as well reveal herself voluntarily. At least that would not tarnish her own reputation.

"What? No rival with a sword in the Divine Continent Realm? The rank of Saint?" At that moment, Lin Feng could no longer remain calm. More accurately, he was shocked.

What was a Saint?

That was a supreme powerhouse who had surpassed the Postnatal and reached the Innate, and not a single Saint existed in the entire Divine Continent Realm now.

In terms of cultivation realms, the four major cultivation realms established by the Yanhuang Kingdom were merely Postnatal. Only after surpassing those four great realms could one reach the Innate Realm, a legendary existence.

Those who reached the Innate Realm were true immortals, capable of overturning clouds and rain with a casual wave of their hands.

Moreover, Xuanyuan Qingtian cultivated Sword Dao, the most offensive and the most difficult path to master.

Entering Dao Through Sword!

He was only at the Eighth Stage Form Manifestation Realm. The gap between them was more than a hundred thousand miles?

Tsk... it looks like Xuanyuan Qingtian was absolutely the supreme ruler of this world three thousand years ago! Lin Feng marveled inwardly.

At the same time, the desire to recruit Xuanyuan Qingtian arose within him.

Just imagine it: if Xuanyuan Qingtian recovered her peak strength and guarded the Divine Sword Sect, would they not be able to swagger sideways through the Divine Continent Realm?
