Old Chen stood with his hands behind his back, full of vigor and ambition, confident and passionate. From this moment on, he would soar to the sky and try to compete with his predecessors!

He was filled with intense emotion, wanting nothing more than to roar to the heavens. And so he did, but no roar came out. Countless sword lights poured down like a torrential downpour, engulfing him completely.

His scalp tingled. What was going on? Was the Inner Scenery Realm this dangerous? He was about to be killed as soon as he entered. How could he possibly dodge? Sword light was everywhere!

Old Chen did everything in his power, using all the methods of Great Grandmaster, to expand his spiritual domain and block the omnipresent, dazzling beam of light.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

He was like a small boat on a raging sea, tossed about by towering waves, thrown straight up to the clouds, and then smashed into the center of a terrifying whirlpool.

Old Chen was stunned. The Inner Scenery Realm was too dangerous. Could it be that what Little Wang mentioned about consuming one's own life potential was true?

Excruciating pain!

He felt as if he was about to fall apart. The mental field that surrounded him like white mist was now being split apart into wisps of smoke, rising upwards.

The opening was hellish; he was blasted to death right from the start, and Old Chen was starting to question his existence!

The scene was truly desolate and tragic; the white, hazy mental field was now like wisps of silk, and smoke was rising from Old Chen's head...

Old Chen was no ordinary man. Although he was in excruciating pain, feeling as if his body was about to burst apart, he had not died amidst the endless sword light and was still alive. He forced himself to persevere, circulating the Root Method of the Pre-Qin Daoist practitioners, and once again displaying the demeanor of Great Grandmaster.

He came in to become stronger. Upon immediately sensing the Mysterious Factor, he disregarded the pain and began to absorb it frantically in order to restore his mental field.

At that moment, he looked up and saw the fairy. She was indeed a Female Sword Immortal, her moon-white dress fluttering, leaning on her sword and traversing the sky, her peerless beauty scattering Divine Light Rain.

This seemingly young Female Sword Immortal fits all the details of mythology: dressed in white, she soars through the air, wielding a single sword that cleaves the heavens, exuding unparalleled elegance.

Given Old Chen's mindset, he naturally doubted Wang Xuan's words and couldn't possibly take them all seriously. But now he was amazed and then filled with respect.

This is a true sword immortal. He has been practicing swordsmanship for so many years, and he has never seen such a person before. Just by looking at the way he stands in mid-air and shoots out sword light, he was mesmerized. It was unfathomable and breathtaking. He must learn it!

"The way of the sword immortal: a single sword strike chills fourteen provinces, its power pierces the heavens and soars to the heavens, and in moments of leisure one can Morning in the North Sea, Evening in Cangwu. I've longed for this since my youth," Old Chen sighed. Then, he was... taught a lesson by reality, and severely beaten!

A barrage of sword light rained down, but the beautiful fairy was not as sentimental as him. With a wave of her hand, she unleashed a sky full of beams of light, suppressing Old Chen and relentlessly bombarding him.

At the edge of the Inner Scenery Realm, Wang Xuan saw this scene but didn't dare to go in. He absorbed the overflowing Mysterious Factor to relieve his fatigue while imitating the Female Sword Immortal's sword-wielding posture.

Over the years, although he did not obtain the Immortal Sword Scripture, he gained experience from being cleaved in two. Now, he is imitating it and feels that he has gained some insights.

Old Chen, bewildered by the death, looked up and saw Wang Xuan. A wave of shame washed over him. Little Wang was truly learning swordsmanship! What reason did Great Grandmaster like him have to slack off? Let him learn!

Then, he began to seriously emulate him and work hard to learn swordsmanship!

The Female Sword Immortal had already identified him as the current master of the Black Sword, because she sensed the sword's aura on him. Now that she saw him daring to imitate her, she immediately launched a critical strike!

The sword light transformed into a river, rolling down endlessly. Old Chen felt like he was about to collapse, almost howling like a ghost. Even Great Grandmaster couldn't withstand the sword immortal.

"Why didn't you kill Little Wang? He... didn't come in?!" Old Chen's eyes immediately turned red, sensing that he had been tricked by the young man this time.

Wang Xuan was deeply shocked to see Old Chen's miserable state, but in the end he still decided to go in. After all, the opportunity was rare, and the Inner Scenery Realm was too important for those who followed the Old Arts path.

"Even if I bear the weight of the heavens and am trapped in endless suffering, I will go in!" He gritted his teeth and decided to force his way in. Even if it meant enduring hardship, he would practice the Golden Body Art in this desolate place!

Then he moved, struggling to control his body, and reached for the black longsword again, but quickly let go and put it in Old Chen's hand.

This was the first thing he did decisively and efficiently upon entering the Inner Scenery Realm.

In an instant, Old Chen felt as if his flesh and blood were connected, and the Black Sword appeared in his hand. Was this... a mythical weapon?!

He was shocked and moved. This weapon could be brought into the Inner Scenery Realm? Did the Black Sword see him in danger and resolutely protect its master, thus rushing in after him? He almost burst into tears!

He still knows little about the Inner Scenery Realm and has not yet carefully sensed the external environment, unaware that this is merely a condensation of Black Sword.

With the divine sword in hand, Old Chen was filled with boundless pride. No matter the pain, the hardships, or the torment of his body being torn apart, it didn't matter anymore. He wanted to learn swordsmanship from the Female Sword Immortal!

On this day, Old Chen suffered the darkest pain of his life, which is also the greatest pain he is currently enduring. He was pierced countless times by dense sword light, but he was indomitable and continued to learn swordsmanship with fierce determination.

Wang Xuan was practicing the Golden Body Art in the distance, and just watching it was painful. In the end, he couldn't bear it any longer and shouted, "Old Chen, don't forget, your physical body is waiting to be saved. Quickly activate the Root Method of the Pre-Qin Daoist practitioners!"

Old Chen was almost stunned by the blow. He shook his head violently to clear his mind and calm down. Soon, his eyes turned hostile, and he realized he had been tricked.

Why wasn't Little Wang "educated" after he came in? Why was he the only one being "baptized" by the sword light? The more he swung the sword, the more severely he was beaten!

Old Chen lay motionless on the ground. He needed to figure out what was going on. It seemed that he had been taken over again, and this time the deal was enormous!

He knew that he was too easy to suffer losses because he was unfamiliar with the Inner Scenery Realm, so he had to quickly familiarize himself with the situation here.

Sure enough, when he lay there, threw away the black longsword and stopped resisting, the sword light became noticeably sparser and less dense.

Old Chen used the Root Method of Pre-Qin Daoist practitioners to restore his spirit, and as time went by, he vaguely sensed that his external physical body and damaged internal organs seemed to be slowly repaired.

"This..." He was stunned.

At his level, he naturally understood more and became aware of the changes in his physical body. He immediately realized just how precious the Mysterious Matter was—it was a priceless treasure!

So even if he was being stabbed, Old Chen was fearless. As long as he didn't die, he would absorb these rare Heavenly Treasures at any cost to strengthen himself.

He was amazed; this Mysterious Factor was far superior to the Extend Life methods in the New Arts Domain.

If the chaebols found out, they would go crazy and mobilize countless Super Battleship, using every means to force us to help open the Inner Scenery Realm.

This matter must be kept secret, or something terrible will happen!

He was acutely aware of the danger and horror involved; if things went wrong, even someone skilled in the Old Arts would be kept in captivity and exploited to the fullest extent of their value.

Of course, the ultimate goal of conglomerates and large organizations is to control these means themselves.

Old Chen understood that this method was not universally applicable and was currently only mastered by Wang Xuan. Even Great Grandmaster like himself had to rely on "Ancestor Wang" to guide him in.

However, outsiders will never see it that way, and they won't believe it if you tell them; they will only use every means to coerce you.

"Little Wang, the secret here is something you must never tell anyone, even if you die..." Old Chen began, still looking preoccupied despite his suffering.

Wang Xuan was practicing his Golden Body Art here. Seeing him being blasted to pieces and still worrying about "Ancestor Wang," I couldn't bear it and said, "Old Chen, you should do this..."

Old Chen quickly listened attentively, while inwardly thinking, "This kid is definitely trying to trick me. He knows the situation but won't tell me. Luckily, he reacted quickly and is about to get the information out of me."

Although Wang Xuan felt sorry for him, he also thought that the veteran actor was probably deliberately playing the victim, so he stopped halfway through his sentence and sighed, "Old Chen, you should be honest about where you got that Black Sword. Did you learn it from the Evil Sword Cultivator?"

"What's going on?!" Old Chen was shocked, because the Female Sword Immortal had set her sights on him again. This time, it wasn't just sword light, but also divine lightning. Huge bolts of lightning intertwined and kept crashing down.

Soon, Old Chen found out the reason. The scene of the Sword Sect being destroyed in the rainy night reappeared in his mind, and he immediately gasped, feeling that he could not clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

"Tell the whole truth from beginning to end, and explain it clearly!" Wang Xuan shouted.

"Stop, I'll tell you, this sword isn't mine, I found it in a desolate mountain range..." Old Chen confessed painfully, revealing the truth.

Wang Xuan ignored them and focused on practicing the Golden Body Art in a low-key manner. He wanted to improve to the sixth level, at which point he estimated that ordinary bullets would not be able to penetrate him.

It must be said that Old Chen was very talkative, speaking eloquently and detailing the situation of the Black Sword, which he said was found next to a corpse, and that he was not a descendant of this lineage at all.

To this end, he spoke eloquently, starting from his own birth, to prove his innocence, and spoke for two days straight.

With a whoosh, the Female Sword Immortal rushed out of the Inner Scenery Realm and disappeared.

"Why did she leave?" Wang Xuan asked in surprise.

"Little Wang, I'll fight you to the death!" Old Chen snapped out of his daze and was about to settle the score with him!

Wang Xuan quickly said, "This is a rare opportunity. If you don't repair your body now, when will you? She might be back soon."

Old Chen was filled with resentment, but he held back in the end and quickly used the Root Method of the Pre-Qin Daoist practitioners to repair his physical body.

Several years later, the Female Sword Immortal reappeared. She probably only stayed in the outside world for a few minutes before she appeared in the Inner Scenery Realm and started chopping at Old Chen without saying a word.

"Why me again?" Old Chen felt that the world was unfair and that life was full of vicissitudes.

Then, Wang Xuan was also brutally beaten, and once again experienced the power of the endless sword light.

"Old Chen, is there something wrong with the location where the Black Sword was found? Confess now," Wang Xuan said as he ran away.

"As time goes by, the landscape changes, and some of the landforms have probably changed. Let me describe to you how the current terrain corresponds to the ancient terrain." Old Chen quickly recounted the story, taking two days to cover all the Old Earth.

Then, as expected, the Female Sword Immortal left again.

This time she really left for many years, until one day, she returned dejectedly and, without saying a word, chopped Old Chen again!

"Why?" Old Chen was about to lose it, feeling his life was too miserable, why did they always come looking for him?!

Wang Xuan shouted from afar, "Old Chen, you have to put yourself in the fairy's shoes and be more understanding. After all, the Black Sword fell into your hands. So many years have passed and the culprit has not been found. You naturally have to bear part of the consequences."

Old Chen could only stare blankly, enduring the excruciating pain, utterly helpless.

He persevered for two years, and finally had an epiphany, actually starting to teach history to the Female Sword Immortal. He talked about everything from the pre-Qin period to the Han and Tang dynasties, then explained the Old Arts of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and finally described the splendor of modern times, discussing Old Earth and New Star, explaining what Super Battleship is, making his history vivid, intricate, and thrilling.

However, this explanation took another six months. During this time, Old Chen was constantly being slashed by swords, but he persevered and continued to talk about the past.

He guessed that it was because history had turned to dust, and the current era left the Female Sword Immortal feeling lost and completely clueless, which was why she was throwing a tantrum and coming to settle scores with him. He patiently explained these things to her.

Sure enough, after fully understanding the current era, the Female Sword Immortal left again and didn't return for a long time.

"This guy... is incredibly powerful. He hasn't been revived for long, yet he can already freely enter and exit the Inner Scenery Realm." Wang Xuan sighed. His Golden Body Art was gradually becoming effective, and his body was emitting a faint golden light.

The Female Sword Immortal has returned once again. This time, after entering the Inner Scenery Realm, she has been killing Old Chen for ten years!

Of course, Wang Xuan didn't escape either; he was also dealt with.

But both of them stubbornly endured it and refused to back down.

Until one day, the Female Sword Immortal seemed to have vented her anger enough. Without saying a word, she swept Wang Xuan and Old Chen out of the Inner Scenery Realm with her sword light, blasting them out cleanly and efficiently.

"Old Chen, how are you?" After returning to his physical body, Wang Xuan immediately opened his eyes and asked Old Chen.

It's clear that Old Chen's condition has improved, but he's definitely not fully recovered yet. Over the years in the Inner Scenery Realm, he's spent most of his time being bombarded by sword light and often talking about ancient stories, making it impossible for him to concentrate on absorbing the Mysterious Factor.

"There's still something missing," he said weakly.

Qing Mu was shocked and almost cried out.

"Shh!" Wang Xuan stopped him, saying, "Keep your master in this state and don't let the news leak out anytime soon."

Old Chen spoke in a weak voice, "Qing Mu... come here, and throw this sword... aside."

"Huh?" Qing Mu was shocked. Had his master been possessed by a demon? Something was clearly wrong. That was his most beloved weapon. Why would he throw it away?!

"I've recently given up swords; the sight of one makes me want to vomit!" Old Chen said weakly, but with unwavering resolve, determined to throw it aside, at least so that the other person wouldn't see it.
