Watching Ye Xuan's eager expression, Lin Feng's lips curved into a satisfied smile. After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Xuanyuan Qingtian...
Entering Dao Through Sword, achieving the position of Saint.
Tsk, this is getting interesting.
"As the Sect Master, I'm quite curious, how did a Saint like you suddenly fall to the Earth Immortal Realm? And in the end, only a wisp of your soul remained?"
"Also, what exactly is the Qiankun Divine Palace?"
Lin Feng asked with a bit of gossip.
After all, the Saint realm was a position of looking down upon all beings from the High Heavens, practically invincible.
How could one so easily fall from their realm to the Earth Immortal Realm?
What he was most curious about was what exactly the Qiankun Divine Palace was, to be able to trap an Earth Immortal and wear them down to a mere wisp of a soul. It was too terrifying.
Hearing Lin Feng's sudden question, Xuanyuan Qingtian was slightly startled. A hint of pain flashed in her autumn-water-like eyes, along with uncontainable anger.
After a long while, she took a deep breath and said in a melancholic tone, "Three thousand years ago, I was at the peak of my power. I became the strongest Sword Dao practitioner in the Canglang Realm, and the first person in that realm to become a Saint. I was known as the Demon Sword Saintess."
At this point, her tone suddenly turned cold. "Unfortunately, 'the wood that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.' Human hearts are truly unpredictable. My fiancé, who was also a sword cultivator, secretly poisoned me by putting a potent poison in my teacup while we were getting married, all to seize my Chaos Sword Body."
"In my rage, I injured him on the spot and fled home. Little did I know, this was only the beginning of the nightmare. My disciple, who I treated like a sister, actually tried to kill me."
As she spoke, a heart-stopping killing intent erupted in Xuanyuan Qingtian's eyes.
She couldn't understand why her disciple, whom she treated like a sister, would do such a thing.
She had poured her heart out to her disciple, teaching her all her cultivation techniques. Why did she receive such heartless betrayal in return?
Lin Feng remained silent. Xuanyuan Qingtian sighed again, "At that time, I was deeply poisoned and my strength was only at the Earth Immortal Realm. I was no match for her at the Dao Tier Realm."
"At the brink of life and death, I self-destructed my Qi Sea, leaving behind a wisp of my soul, thus escaping death."
"But how long could a remnant soul survive? Just as I was about to dissipate, I was drawn into a giant tower by an irresistible mysterious force. That tower was the Qiankun Divine Palace."
"I have no idea what the Qiankun Divine Palace is, what it represents, or where it is located."
"But one thing I am certain of is that even in my prime, once I entered the Qiankun Divine Palace, I would never be able to take half a step out of it."
"My feeling is that it is incredibly mysterious and infinitely powerful."
She then added with a hint of relief, "However, it is precisely because of the Qiankun Divine Palace that I was able to survive."
"Rather than saying it trapped me for three thousand years, it nurtured me for three thousand years."
"Just when I thought I would never be able to leave the Qiankun Divine Palace and get my revenge, three years ago, the Qiankun Divine Palace suddenly ejected me."
"After I came out, I sensed a familiar aura. After searching for a while, I realized it was a pendant I had accidentally dropped during my lifetime."
"That pendant is the Sword-shaped Pendant that Ye Xuan is wearing around his neck."
At this moment, Xuanyuan Qingtian knew her opportunity had arrived. According to her original plan, she would guide Ye Xuan to become stronger step by step. Once Ye Xuan's strength reached a certain level, she would have him help her reshape her physical body.
With her talent and accumulated cultivation experience, she would be able to return to her peak in not many years.
At that time, her great revenge could be exacted.
She would make her despicable and shameless fiancé die without a burial place.
She would make her treacherous disciple regret her actions for the rest of her life!
However, fate was unpredictable, and she ultimately ended up here, at the Divine Sword Sect.
"As expected, another cliché plot. However, the Qiankun Divine Palace is quite interesting..." Lin Feng muttered to himself, not overly surprised.
Then, he glanced at Xuanyuan Qingtian and got straight to the point, "Are you willing to become the first elder of my Divine Sword Sect?"
Although Xuanyuan Qingtian's past was rather dramatic, Lin Feng still felt some sympathy for her.
Moreover, even though she was currently just a wisp of a soul, she was after all a dominant figure of heaven and earth three thousand years ago, with divine Sword Dao mastery.
If she were to become an elder of the Divine Sword Sect, it would be an incredible gain.
"The first elder of the Divine Sword Sect?" Xuanyuan Qingtian murmured, then pondered for a moment.
After a moment, she looked at Lin Feng seriously. "Alright."
With her vast knowledge, she couldn't see through the depths of the Divine Sword Sect, which indicated that the sect's foundation was beyond imagination.
Joining the Divine Sword Sect would definitely be much better than fighting alone, and her recovery speed would also be much faster.
Therefore, she had no reason to refuse the olive branch Lin Feng extended.
"Good!" Lin Feng smiled and nodded. "The choice you've made today will surely be the wisest choice in thousands of years."
As he spoke, he spread his palm, and two items appeared in his palm. "This is the Chaos Jade and the Ninth Grade Yin-Yang Sacred Lotus."
"With this Chaos Jade, you will no longer need to reside within the lonely and cold Sword-shaped Pendant. As long as you carry it with you, it will automatically repair your soul, allowing you to live carefree under the sun."
"As for this Ninth Grade Yin-Yang Sacred Lotus, it will not only solidify your soul and shorten the time it takes to reshape your body, but it will also provide you with extremely pure spiritual energy."
With that, Lin Feng waved his hand gently, and the Chaos Jade and the Ninth Grade Yin-Yang Sacred Lotus floated gracefully before Xuanyuan Qingtian, emitting a dense, sacred aura.
"This..."
"Is this the God-tier treasure, the Chaos Jade?"
"And the legendary sacred item, the Ninth Grade Yin-Yang Sacred Lotus?"
Looking at the item before her, Xuanyuan Qingtian was instantly stunned. Her clear black and white eyes widened abruptly, and even her breathing became noticeably rapid.
This was nothing that an immortal-grade treasure could compare to, nor was it as simple as Lin Feng had described. Let alone the major sects, even a Saint would likely fight fiercely to seize such a treasure.
She never imagined that Lin Feng would possess such a heaven-defying ultimate treasure, and that he would directly give it to her?
After a long while, Xuanyuan Qingtian took a deep breath, finally suppressing the shock in her heart.
This Sect Master is absolutely a reincarnated super-mighty being!
Otherwise, how could he possess not only the Flying Immortal Sword from the Divine Weapon Ranking, but also the divine-grade ultimate treasure Chaos Jade, and even the sacred item Ninth Grade Yin-Yang Sacred Lotus!
At this moment, her gaze towards Lin Feng became even more complex.
Lin Feng, however, appeared calm and composed, nodding slightly. "No need to be so surprised. This is standard equipment for you as an elder of the Divine Sword Sect."
Xuanyuan Qingtian: "..."
