The figure calling himself Wang Yang was clearly not a living person. He was more like a spirit body or a lingering obsession, dim and faded, as though he might dissipate at any moment.
Yet his Sword Control technique was extraordinarily formidable.
Watching from afar, Lu Ye saw flying swords darting back and forth at the foot of Sword Mountain, sword light running wild as Nian Yuexian battled him in a tangled melee.
What Wang Yang displayed was unmistakably a method only a great cultivator of the Divine Sea Realm could wield!
Every flying sword on Sword Mountain possessed such divine might? Lu Ye was utterly astonished.
And this was only the first flying sword at the mountain's foot. Higher up, no one knew what awaited.
A short while later, the battle subsided. Wang Yang's figure vanished, leaving only a flying sword that fell before Nian Yuexian.
Nian Yuexian seemed lost in thought. She picked up the flying sword from the ground and continued forward. Before long, a second figure blocked her path...
After watching for a while, Lu Ye roughly understood the mystery of Sword Mountain.
Nearly every flying sword there had once been the personal sword of a great Divine Sea Realm cultivator. Within them, there must have remained a wisp of their former owner's obsession or divine sense. Whenever someone climbed Sword Mountain, they would trigger the flying sword's might.
This, too, was a trial.
A trial of the Sword Artifact Sect's sword Dao.
Realization dawned on Lu Ye...
The three of them had fallen into this Secret Realm. Nian Yuexian had been sent flying by Kongkong for her disrespectful words, but now it seemed that had not merely been punishment. Kongkong had deliberately sent her here to inherit the Sword Artifact Sect's sword Dao legacy!
