[After you climbed the steps up Sword Mountain, the familiar pressure swept over you, but it had no effect on you.]
[Thinking back to when people from Green Prefecture's Three Great Sects had come seeking the Great Void Sword, you found it laughable.]
[They couldn't cultivate Sword Intent, yet they'd still imagined they could obtain a fine sword here.]
[This situation also indirectly confirmed what the Sword Pavilion Master had said back then: the Sinister Worms didn't know that they couldn't cultivate Sword Intent; they simply thought they lacked talent in that area.]
[With Sword Heart Clarity, you moved through Sword Mountain as if it were deserted, reaching the summit in no time.]
[When you arrived at the summit, you looked at the familiar formation before you as Great Void Sword Intent continuously poured out of you.]
[Before long, Great Void Sword Intent surrounded your body. At the same time, the Great Void Sword within the formation seemed to sense something and began to ring out with a series of sword cries.]
[The cries seemed to cross through time, traveling here from the ancient Great Void Sect.]
[At that moment, everyone in the Immortal Falling Secret Realm heard the sword cries—not just you.]
[You watched as the Great Void Sword slowly drew itself from the formation, then flew into your body and merged with the other Great Void Sword within you.]
[The next moment, the incomplete Great Void Sword miraculously regained a small section of its blade.]
[Seeing this, your heart leapt with joy.]
[After all, the complete Great Void Sword was an immortal artifact. There were practically no immortal artifacts in the Canglan Realm at present.]
[The moment the Great Void Sword disappeared, the pressure weighing down on all of Sword Mountain vanished as well.]
[Just then, a familiar voice reached you.]
["Tsk, tsk! So you're the brat who took Sword Mountain's inheritance?"]
[When you saw who had arrived, a look of disgust crossed your face.]
["What? Wan Yemo, you want to steal my opportunity?"]
[Wan Yemo paused in surprise when he saw that you had recognized him.]
["You know who I am? In that case, I'll cut to the chase. Hand over the sword from Sword Mountain, and I might spare your life!"]
["Hahaha! Wan Yemo, don't you think that sounds ridiculous? Do you even believe yourself?"]
[When Wan Yemo saw that you refused to hand over the Great Void Sword, his expression instantly turned sinister.]
["Brat, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. I planned to spare you because we're both human, but it seems you've got a death wish."]
[As soon as the words left his mouth, Wan Yemo unleashed his mid-stage Spirit Transformation cultivation and pressed down on you.]
[You anticipated his move and immediately used the Great Void Technique to escape Sword Mountain.]
[Watching you suddenly vanish from the summit, Wan Yemo froze briefly. Then, after using his Spiritual Sense to locate you, he hurried after you with all his might.]
[You could feel Wan Yemo relentlessly pursuing you from behind. No matter how you used the Great Void Technique to flee, he could always pinpoint your location.]
[Though Wan Yemo couldn't do much to you for the time being, you couldn't shake him off either.]
[If things continued like this, you would certainly burn through your spiritual energy faster than he did. The gap in your cultivation realms was still hard to overcome.]
[Just as you were at a loss, you saw a graceful figure flying toward you.]
["Well, well! Junior Brother, why is someone chasing you?"]
[When you saw that it was Gu Xinyue, you immediately felt relieved. If anyone in the Immortal Falling Secret Realm could help you, it was her.]
[But you hadn't seen any sign of her before, so you'd assumed she had successfully broken through and returned to Sword Pavilion.]
["Senior Sister, save me! That old thief wants to steal my opportunity."]
[You stopped beside Gu Xinyue, and before long, Wan Yemo caught up with you.]
["Brat, why did you stop running? Given up struggling?"]
[Wan Yemo didn't take any notice of Gu Xinyue beside you. To him, a mid-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator, he was one of the strongest in all of Green Prefecture.]
["Running? You're the one who should be running!"]
[As you spoke, you ducked behind Gu Xinyue and looked at Wan Yemo with a mocking expression.]
["Old man, you're the one who wants to kill my junior brother?"]
[Only then did Wan Yemo start paying attention to Gu Xinyue. When he realized he couldn't sense her cultivation at all, his expression turned serious.]
["Young lady, I advise you not to meddle. Leave now, and I can pretend none of this happened."]
[Hearing Wan Yemo's threat, Gu Xinyue grew interested, a disdainful look appearing on her face.]
["Oh? And what if I don't leave?"]
["Then you'll both leave your lives here! Even if you're a Spirit Transformation cultivator, I still won't fear you!"]
[As soon as the words left his mouth, Wan Yemo unleashed his full strength and charged at Gu Xinyue.]
["You're human, yet instead of fighting the Sinister Worms, you're harming your own kind. Keeping you alive would only waste resources."]
[Gu Xinyue unleashed her early-stage Void Refinement cultivation and casually sent out a streak of Sword Qi, shattering Wan Yemo's strongest move.]
["What? Void Refinement? How is that possible?"]
[When Wan Yemo realized Gu Xinyue was a Void Refinement powerhouse, he immediately abandoned any thought of taking your Great Void Sword, turned, and fled toward the exit of the Immortal Falling Secret Realm.]
[Watching Wan Yemo turn and run, Gu Xinyue sneered and swept out a heaven-shaking streak of Sword Qi.]
[The next second, Wan Yemo let out a scream, and his entire body turned into a cloud of blood mist in midair.]
[After dealing with Wan Yemo, Gu Xinyue looked you over with curiosity.]
["Not bad, Junior Brother! You actually got that immortal sword from Sword Mountain. Even I couldn't earn its recognition."]
[You explained that it might have been a matter of luck, and that you'd won the Great Void Sword's recognition by chance.]
[After hearing your explanation, Gu Xinyue stared at you with suspicion, as if she wanted to see right through your secrets.]
[Seeing this, you chose to change the subject.]
["By the way, Senior Sister Gu, what opportunities are there in the Immortal Falling Secret Realm?"]
["Opportunities?"]
[Gu Xinyue furrowed her brow, searching her memory.]
["There are hardly any opportunities in the Immortal Falling Secret Realm. The two greatest ones—one has already been taken by you: the sword on Sword Mountain."]
["As for the other... you couldn't get it even if I told you. It's the Bronze Divine Hall in the valley. To this day, no one knows how to enter it."]
[Learning that there were only two opportunities in the Immortal Falling Secret Realm, you couldn't help but feel disappointed.]
[You had already obtained the Great Void Sword from Sword Mountain and the inheritance technique from the Bronze Divine Hall.]
[There were no other opportunities left to obtain in the secret realm, which was nothing like you had imagined.]
[Noticing your disappointment, Gu Xinyue comforted you.]
["Don't be discouraged, Junior Brother. There might not be many opportunities in the Immortal Falling Secret Realm, but we can go to the Central Prefecture and fight for resources!"]
["Central Prefecture?"]
[As you looked at Gu Xinyue's brilliant smile, a strong sense of foreboding rose within you.]
