Jiang Ding sat atop a peak of the Nine Firmaments Divine Thunder True Sovereign's mountain.
Thunder and dark clouds erupted around him. A fierce wind rolled in, whipping his robes and long hair.
"Light-Thunder Heavenly Lord is expected to arrive in the Thunderflame Domain in thirty-seven years."
"That information came from the butterfly in Swamp True Venerable's soul."
Jiang Ding gazed toward the distant sea of clouds and thought, In truth, the whereabouts of this swordsmanship prodigy from an Immortal Order are no secret. He came from an Immortal Order and openly drew his sword to challenge Void Refining cultivators, honing its edge with their blood. He never needed to conceal a thing. Everything he did was aboveboard.
Right now, Light-Thunder Heavenly Lord is in the Layered Mountains Domain, twelve domains away. Several years ago, he slew Myriad Mountains True Venerable, a grand elder of the Layered Mountains True Sect, in a sword duel.
This fellow Daoist left the Thunder-Yang Heaven Sword Realm forty-one hundred years ago to test his sword against the world. To date, he has slain fifty-seven Void Refining cultivators: Rogue Cultivators, cultivators from true sects and Daoist sects, members of the Demon Race and even the Dragon Clan, and Void Refining cultivators of the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Butterfly Clan... His path has been strewn with blood and corpses, and he has never suffered a defeat.
He is expected to return to his sect in nine hundred years.
When he returns, he will have one chance to challenge the sword heir of the Thunder-Yang Heaven Sword Realm. He may take it or decline, but if he declines, he will never have that chance again unless he someday grows strong enough to overturn the entire Thunder-Yang Heaven Sword Realm.
