[Having cultivated the Great Void Sword Art, you had just arrived at Sword Mountain when you triggered the resonance of every sword on the entire mountain.]
[Everyone present was drawn by the commotion you caused, unable to understand why this was happening.]
["What exactly happened? Could Xiao Lingtian have obtained that immortal sword?"]
["I think that's very possible. Xiao Lingtian has the highest aptitude for the sword path among Azure Cloud Sect's generation."]
[Listening to the discussions around you, you silently remembered the name Xiao Lingtian, planning to kill him first later.]
[You disguised yourself and infiltrated the ranks of the Three Great Sects' disciples, intending to seize the treasures first and kill these people afterward.]
[Through the people around you, you learned that Sword Mountain had a total of ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-something flights of stairs.]
[Only by reaching the highest flight and passing the trial could one obtain the immortal sword's recognition.]
[If one failed to reach the highest level, the other swords within Sword Mountain would also grant their recognition according to the level reached.]
[Looking at everything before you, you found it somewhat tragic!]
[This was the legacy that the former great sect, the Great Void Sword Sect, had left behind for humanity. Who would have thought it would now be occupied by Sinister Worms?]
[If the predecessors of the Great Void Sword Sect knew of the current situation, who knew what they would think.]
[You walked alone up the stairs leading to the summit, feeling no pressure whatsoever.]
[You even suspected that those people had been lying to you, but you soon noticed something amiss.]
[As you climbed ever higher, every time you surpassed someone, you noticed abnormalities on their bodies.]
[Meanwhile, the way others looked at you was as though they had seen a ghost.]
["Holy shit! Who is this guy? He seems completely unaffected by the Sword Qi around him!"]
["Could he be another Xiao Lingtian?"]
["No... judging by how composed he is, he seems even more formidable than Xiao Lingtian."]
[In their eyes, you seemed like an existence even more terrifying than Xiao Lingtian.]
[As you continued climbing, every sword on Sword Mountain let out ringing cries.]
[Who knew how long passed before you finally saw the mountaintop.]
[There were now very few people ahead of you, only three—two men and one woman.]
[From their talismans, you learned that Xiao Lingtian of the Azure Cloud Sect was at the very top, while Jun Moxiao of the Myriad Devil Sect was several levels below him.]
[The other woman was from Wind Thunder. From the earlier conversation, you learned that her name was Luo Xiaoyu.]
[Under the stunned gazes of the three, you climbed onto the top level without the slightest pressure.]
[Upon stepping onto the top level, you saw a formation before you, with a rusty sword embedded at its center.]
[For a moment, you had no idea how to remove the sword. Asking you to break the formation was clearly impossible; you knew absolutely nothing about formations.]
[Left with no choice, you tried silently reciting the Great Void Sword Art's incantation: Control the sword with intent, like stars drawing the moon...]
[The next second, the sword within the formation seemed to resonate with you and began trembling without stop!]
[Then the iron sword flew directly from the formation into your hand and lay quietly there. Only then did you discover that it was a broken sword.]
[Xiao Lingtian, standing nearby, looked deeply displeased.]
[In his view, he had obviously been the first to reach the mountaintop. That sword was obviously supposed to be his.]
["Kid, you're courting death!"]
[Though Xiao Lingtian was furious, he forcibly suppressed the Wrath in his heart and asked.]
["Kid, who exactly are you? Why don't I remember anyone like you in the Azure Cloud Sect?"]
[Hearing Xiao Lingtian's words, you threw back your head and laughed.]
[The instant you obtained the broken sword, you learned some information.]
[This sword was called the Great Void Sword. Back when it followed the Great Void Ancestor into battle, it had been an immortal sword, but unfortunately it broke during a later battle.]
[Yet even as a broken sword, it still contained the lingering aura of an immortal sword.]
["Who am I? I'm here to reap you all!"]
[The moment your words fell, your facial features began to change, eventually returning to your original appearance.]
["You're Su Ming of the demonic path?"]
[After seeing your appearance, Xiao Lingtian was the first to react.]
[He knew everything that had happened at Azure Cloud Sect back then. He also knew that the Azure Cloud Sect's sect master had used a great divine ability to see the killer's true face.]
[That murderer looked exactly like you.]
[Following Xiao Lingtian's words, shock also appeared on Jun Moxiao and Luo Xiaoyu's faces.]
[Because you had pulled out the Great Void Sword, all the pressure of Sword Mountain vanished.]
[Jun Moxiao and Xiao Lingtian instantly erupted with Core Formation Great Perfection cultivation and charged at you to kill you.]
[Unhurried, you used the Great Void Technique to evade their attacks. Then you flashed behind Xiao Lingtian, and before he could react, you pierced him to death with a single strike of the Great Void Sword.]
[Seeing that Xiao Lingtian had been utterly unable to fight back in your hands, Jun Moxiao instinctively fled.]
[You used the Great Void Technique once more, crippled Jun Moxiao's cultivation with one sword strike, then used the Soul Searching Technique.]
[But to your disappointment, even though Jun Moxiao was a genius of the Myriad Devil Sect, the information he knew was no different from that of an ordinary disciple.]
[After your disappointment, you turned your gaze toward Luo Xiaoyu.]
[You used the Great Void Technique again. Just as you were about to kill her, Luo Xiaoyu spoke.]
["Wait, Su Ming! I'm an Awakened One. Like you, I'm human!"]
[Hearing this, your brows furrowed tightly, and the Great Void Sword in your hand stopped at her neck.]
["How will you prove it? If you cannot provide evidence that convinces me, I can only kill you!"]
["I... I can prove it!"]
[Then Luo Xiaoyu showed you her Primordial Spirit!]
["Look, this is my Primordial Spirit! Those parasitized by Sinister Worms cannot send out their own Primordial Spirits. Their Primordial Spirits all have bizarre appearances!"]
[You were clearly somewhat surprised upon hearing this, because before this, you had not known how to distinguish humans from Sinister Worms.]
[You only knew that Sinister Worms could not enter ruins such as the Immortal Falling Secret Realm, and that they would suffer severe Dao Injuries during breakthroughs.]
["Why should I believe you?"]
[Although her reason was highly convincing, you did not believe her so easily.]
[In your view, when it came to Sinister Worms, you would rather kill the wrong person than let one go lightly.]
["Are you even an Awakened One? You don't even know that?"]
[Beneath your icy gaze, Luo Xiaoyu slowly spoke a name.]
["Wait! I know Ye Chuxue!"]
[Sure enough, upon hearing that she knew Ye Chuxue, you slowly lowered the Great Void Sword in your hand.]
["You know Ye Chuxue? Where is she now?"]
["She... her current situation is rather bad. Earlier, she made a breakthrough, but before her injuries had healed, she was hunted down and suffered very serious injuries."]
["Later, I arranged for her to hide on a secluded island between Green Prefecture and Central Prefecture."]
[If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you won't be unable to find it next time!]
