After all, although the Taiyi Immortal Sword Order was known for its Sword Cultivators, its foundational art was the "Life-and-Death Illusion-Annihilation Two Forms Dust Formula," and the heart of its cultivation was the Primordial Unity Taiyi Divine Talisman. Swordsmanship was merely an outward application!
True Sword Cultivators, however, had nothing beyond their swords. They believed one sword could shatter ten thousand arts.
Only that conviction could produce such domineering sword light, as though to say, If not me, then who?
That was precisely what Sword Spirit unleashed now!
Tang Changsheng was not the only one moved to admiration. Who among the others was not?
Swordsmanship might be fierce, but cultivating it to the Yang Spirit level was harder than climbing to heaven. Only a rare few succeeded.
The moment the sword light appeared, the Dark Cloud stopped dead. It seemed deeply wary and dared not cross the line.
They had not even met, yet their contest of arts had already begun!
A voice rolled out of the Dark Cloud. "We have come to pay our respects to True Person Tang Changsheng of Cloudtail Mountain. Please announce us!"
Tang Changsheng merely smiled and waved a hand. The clouds over Cloudtail Mountain parted at once, revealing a passage straight to its summit.
"Honored guests have come from afar. Please, enter!"
Sword Spirit gave a cold snort and withdrew. Yet although the passage stood open, ranks upon ranks of Ghost Soldiers, Magical Weapons, and Demon Soldiers lurked within the formation, their Killing Intent faintly perceptible. Every tree and blade of grass seemed a soldier. Across Cloudtail Mountain, every plant appeared dangerous, every corner an enemy.
To enter that formation willingly was practically to walk into a net. Even a True Immortal, let alone a Yang Spirit True Person, would find no advantage there!
