Sword Hall 1

"Oh?"

The others in the hall were also surprised. It seemed that the Nine-Headed Bird Clan had also placed all their bets on the Netherworld Realm, on Divine Lord Sun Snatcher.

That World Artifact was the foundation of Huiyang City, with extremely strong power. It was the Nine-Headed Bird Clan's most pinnacle masterpiece, painstakingly refined over hundreds of thousands of years. To gamble it all in the Netherworld Realm was clearly staking the life and death of the entire Nine-Headed Bird Clan.

"Then the activation, maintenance, command, and other affairs of the core World Artifact will henceforth be handled entirely by your Nine-Headed Bird Clan."

Lin Xin directly delegated authority.

"Thank you, Divine Lord!"

Hui Yang was overjoyed.

This was equivalent to being the Minister of Monitoring and Defense for the entire Netherworld Realm, an extremely important position.

"Also, I will be going to the Main Sect soon to observe the Sword Marks bestowed by Dao Ancestor himself."

Lin Xin changed the subject.

"Are you going to enter the Sword Hall?"

Xing Pengfei suddenly spoke.

"Indeed."

Lin Xin nodded.

"Amazing!! You're really willing to part with it!" Xing Pengfei exclaimed. "Each time the Sword Hall is opened, it will leak a large amount of the various Sword Intents, Sword Qis, and Sword Daos stored within. After a Sword Hall is formed, it will become completely ordinary after being opened at most three times.

And all those who have ever entered the Sword Hall are now at least Fate Candle Earth Immortals, and most are Celestial Venerables. Moreover, they are Sword Cultivator Celestial Venerables.

The representative of them is Cosmos Celestial Sovereign!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present gasped.

The Cosmos Celestial Sovereign's reputation was almost universally known.

His divided spirit incarnations had silently infiltrated All Heavens and Myriad Realms, reaching the pinnacle of accumulating Star Power, and he was one of the top existences among the Seekers of the Dao. He could almost be called invincible among Celestial Venerables.

The fact that the Sword Hall could nurture an invincible existence like the Cosmos Celestial Sovereign clearly made it the most precious place in the entire Azure Lake Mountain.

"This time, I will strive to completely comprehend and make up for the hidden dangers of the Supreme September Divine Wind Sword. Dao Ancestor's Department allowed me to enter, obviously with this intention in mind as well."

Lin Xin said calmly.

"Master will definitely be able to perfect the Sword Art." Lu Li said decisively, seeming to have more confidence in Lin Xin than Lin Xin himself.

"Divine Lord will surely achieve a triumphant victory and comprehend the Great Dao!"

Everyone respectfully said in unison.

Lin Xin nodded, looking at the neatly arranged cultivators below. He suddenly recalled how he had risen from a common little character after being reborn into the Human Realm, gradually growing until he reached his current level.

He had experienced countless ups and downs in the process.

The long years passed in a flash, hundreds or thousands of years flowing by.

Even ten thousand years was commonplace.

At this level, apart from the initial promise to Red Leaf in his heart, and the last trace of affection for Lin Yaoyang and his Master, which were still firmly remembered in his heart, Lin Xin had long since become indifferent to everything else.

"Disperse."

He suddenly felt a little listless, waved his hand, and left directly.

His figure disappeared directly from the seat.

Lin Yaoyang, who was on the side, keenly noticed the strangeness in his heart, her eyebrows moved, and she also got up.

**********************

The highest peak in the Netherworld Realm, the summit of Mingyang Peak.

The wind howled, and snowflakes fluttered.

Lin Xin stood alone on the platform at the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, a vast expanse of white.

Lin Yaoyang quickly appeared beside him, quietly standing behind him.

"You've clearly built such a great foundation, but why are you still unhappy?" She looked at Lin Xin with some concern.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired." Lin Xin smiled.

The drawbacks of the Supreme September Divine Wind Sword were only known to the practitioners themselves, and no one else knew. Lin Yaoyang was originally just a Nascent Soul cultivator, so it was even more impossible for her to know such secrets.

"If you're tired, take a good rest." Lin Yaoyang's face flushed slightly, "Or should we go take a bath?"

Ever since she and Lin Xin had been intimate, she had always referred to intimacy as bathing, and whenever she wanted to be intimate, she would directly say to go bathing.

"You go rest first, I'll come in a while."

Lin Xin gently stroked her cheek.

He felt that he was smiling, but his smile was very stiff.

Lin Yaoyang clearly saw it and looked a little dejected.

"Okay, I'll go rest first, you..."

She looked at Lin Xin worriedly.

"Go ahead and don't worry."

Lin Xin nodded slightly.

After urging her several times, Lin Yaoyang slowly left the summit.

Lin Xin was left standing alone on the summit.

Gazing at the distant white scenery, he suddenly sighed.

"It seems I can only go to the Sword Hall to see if I can solve the hidden dangers of the Supreme September Divine Wind Sword."

"It seems you need help."

Suddenly, a hidden voice came from behind him.

"Xi Ya?"

Lin Xin didn't need to turn around; he had already sensed the bizarre, stitched-together infant that had abruptly appeared behind him with his spirit. It was Xi Ya's standard form.

"You dare show your face before me?"

Lin Xin said calmly.

The Evil God King was only at the Celestial Venerable level, at most a slightly stronger Celestial Venerable. He had even killed Fang Yu's clone; would he still fear Xi Ya?

"Heh heh heh... I'm only here to make a deal with you."

Xi Ya was still the same as ever, with a mysterious and cunning look, smiling as he looked at Lin Xin's back.

"We're old friends after all. I've helped you quite a bit; don't you know how to be grateful?"

"Help?"

Lin Xin sneered.

If he hadn't been capable, he would have been killed long ago when Song Danhao brought Lin Yaoyang to mix in Snowman King City.

"Alright, let's not mention these old stories. I haven't congratulated you yet on becoming a hegemon in one fell swoop. Now, even the Cosmos Celestial Sovereign probably has a headache when they see you."

Xi Ya said with a grin.

"I have something here. If you can help... I can help you solve the biggest trouble you're facing now."

"What exactly are you plotting?" Lin Xin asked with a frown. The Evil God King was a very troublesome group. Even though his strength was now terrifyingly powerful, he was unwilling to easily provoke this group of immortal old fellows.

"You don't understand... This great calamity is different from the past..." Xi Ya's expression slowly calmed down, no longer joking. "In this great calamity, even we are extremely dangerous if we are not careful, and there may be a possibility of complete annihilation."

"So what? And why should I help you?"

Lin Xin ignored him.

"Don't you want to resolve the karma with Red Leaf?" Xi Ya suddenly said quickly.

"You know Red Leaf!?"

In an instant, Lin Xin teleported in front of Xi Ya. He was as fast as light. By the time Xi Ya noticed, he had already been grabbed by Lin Xin, who lifted him up with one arm by his clothes.

"You'll understand when you go to the Sword Hall. Red Leaf and Huang Yan were both among the first Sword Masters of the Sword Hall." Xi Ya seemed to know many secrets, but still wore an annoying smile, calmly allowing Lin Xin to grab him and lift him up.

"What do you mean?"

Lin Xin narrowed his eyes.

Xi Ya laughed.

"Do you know what it means to be indestructible even with myriad tribulations upon you?"

Boom!!!

In an instant, Lin Xin's mind exploded, and he suddenly recalled what the Red Leaf Sword Master had said to him on the ship back then.

"Do you know Huang Yuerong?"

"Of course." Red Leaf smiled unexpectedly, "A person who is indestructible even with myriad tribulations upon them, the strongest person in your world. When we reach this level, our existence occupies a part of the world's laws, and we control time and space, so nothing can be hidden."

His mind suddenly cleared, and Lin Xin heard Xi Ya speaking.

"Unfortunately, if I hadn't coincidentally checked your background information, I wouldn't have necessarily known that you actually have a connection with that person."

Xi Ya said with a smile.

"This great tribulation is special. You will soon know."

As he spoke, his body naturally faded and disappeared in Lin Xin's hand until he was completely gone.

Lin Xin released his hand, not pursuing.

He was just carefully pondering what Xi Ya had said.

"Red Leaf, Huang Yan..."

"The Sword Hall, the most dreamlike pinnacle hall for all sword cultivators in All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

There are top-notch Sword Arts and Sword Imprints within the laws of principles. Every sword cultivator who can leave a Sword Imprint in the Sword Hall is the strongest and most top-tier powerful sword cultivator.

Such sword cultivators are respectfully called Sword Masters.

And Sword Masters, in the minds of sword cultivators, are titles equivalent to Dao Ancestors."

Azure Lake Mountain Main Sect, outside the Heavenly Palace at the mountainside.

Lin Xin and the Cosmos Celestial Sovereign stood side by side on the misty white clouds, looking at an invisible Void in front of them.

"This is the entrance to the Sword Hall?"

Lin Xin said in a low Voice Transmission.

"Yes, and no."

The Cosmos Celestial Sovereign said indifferently.

"At a distance of eleven meters, three inches, and one-fifth of a mill ahead of you, a nameless light will suddenly flash in three minutes and forty-two seconds.

The light can only last for an instant. You must seize the opportunity and rush in instantly. If you miss this opportunity, the Sword Hall will have to wait another ten thousand years to accumulate enough power to reopen. Remember."

"What about the opening time?"

"Only a moment. However, because the difference in time flow is extremely large, once you enter, the time inside will be extremely slow. One moment outside is equal to one year inside. One year is the length of time you can stay inside," the Cosmos Celestial Sovereign explained carefully.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Cosmos."

Lin Xin cupped his hands.

"You're welcome. The Dao Ancestor's decree hopes that you can complete this supreme top-tier Sword Art..."

He said no more, turned around, and suddenly disappeared into the air.

On the edge of the white clouds, only Lin Xin was left waiting quietly.

Originally, he didn't have much expectation for the Sword Hall. After all, he didn't think that his Sword Dao cultivation could be inspired and improved by a few Sword Imprints.

But Xi Ya's words made him full of curiosity and anticipation for the Sword Hall.

Waiting quietly, time passed slowly.

Soon, a few minutes passed in an instant.

Sizzle!

A white light suddenly lit up in Lin Xin's vision. Without a second thought, his figure abruptly disappeared, leaving only a faint afterimage that slowly dissipated in mid-air.

The white light flickered slightly, then instantly went out.

**************************

Lin Xin's eyes were first filled with white, then he felt as if he had plunged into a mass of viscous liquid.

Countless amounts of glue seemed to be trying to stick him in place.

With a gentle tear, he directly broke free from the shackles of the glue and continued to rush forward.

Whoosh!!

His vision blurred.

He suddenly rushed into a wide and empty plaza.

His eyes suddenly opened up, and he looked around, discovering that he was standing between two rows of huge white buildings.
