In the void, Yue Xi wore a magnificent gown that gleamed like flowing gold. With her unusually tall stature, she looked like a banished immortal from legend descending into the mortal world.
Her expression was composed, her gaze tranquil. Ever since arriving at the Sword Abyss, she had devoted herself to cultivation, never allowing herself an idle moment in the yard.
In just one year, she had made tremendous progress.
Wei Hongye accompanied her now.
Upon learning that her junior sister had emerged from seclusion and intended to challenge the Emperor Sword Cliff again, Wei Hongye had come specifically to accompany her.
Yue Xi swept her gaze across the void opposite the Emperor Sword Cliff, where countless figures from the Sword Abyss gathered. Although the Sword Abyss had fewer disciples than the Spear Abyss, they still numbered in the tens of thousands.
Yet, after scanning the crowd, she failed to find the figure she wanted to see.
Yue Xi frowned slightly, but soon regained her composure. If that was all the resolve he possessed, she would surpass him sooner or later, even with his Nine-Ring Dao Heart. Perhaps she had already surpassed him.
She gathered her thoughts, put the matter aside, and approached the Emperor Sword Cliff.
Across from it, many Heaven Yard disciples were also watching, discussing the young disciple Li Tiemu had recently accepted.
"I heard Elder Li brought back two disciples a year ago. I asked around, and he recruited them both in Heart Questioning Floating Pagoda City. One had eight Dao Heart rings, the other nine. Both had Eternal Dao Hearts. Yue Xi is the one with eight rings. The one with nine rarely comes out. Hardly anyone seems to have seen him."
"Nine Dao Heart rings? Is he already an Immortal Lord?"
"Are you stupid?
