Even the most splendid banquet would eventually come to an end.
After the music ended and the guests departed.
Nine True Peak.
"You may all leave. Fang Yu, stay behind."
Immortal Lady Nine Truths had drunk several extra cups of immortal brew, a faint flush coloring her cheeks. With a wave of her hand, she dismissed the other disciples and kept only Aaron behind.
Her beautiful eyes shifted as she looked Aaron up and down, then she suddenly sighed. "The Patriarch has always doted most upon his disciples... This time, he first bestowed the formula upon you, meaning he has granted you the true transmission. There has not been such a precedent in centuries... It shows just how greatly the Patriarch favors you..."
"This disciple does not dare accept such praise..."
Aaron nodded repeatedly. "It is only that, when I think of the Patriarch's sword duel with Emei Sect three years from now, I cannot help but worry... After all, we are of the side branches, inferior to the orthodox lineage."
"The Patriarch has cultivated a Supreme Unity Primordial Spirit, no weaker than the Primordial Spirits of the orthodox mystic sects... He merely lacks the fruits of attainment for now and thus cannot undergo Ascension..."
Immortal Lady Nine Truths gave a sharp cry. "Moreover, the Patriarch has been in seclusion for a hundred years, continuously refining twelve All-Heavens Swords... Since he has invited them to a sword duel this time, he must have absolute confidence. When the time comes, he will lay down the Twelve All-Heavens Divine Baleful Sword Formation... If Emei refuses to repent, they shall all settle their debts beneath the sword!"
So the most formidable method in the All-Heavens Sword Canon is to refine twelve All-Heavens Swords and set up the Twelve All-Heavens Divine Baleful Sword Formation?
