On the Sword-Testing Platform, the Northern Darkness Sword Master, Send Him on His Way
Sword King City, also known as the Myriad Sword City.
It is a sacred place of worship for swordsmen from all over the world!
Here resides the leader of countless sword-wielding forces across the land—
Sword King Pavilion!
He is the master of the way of the sword!
Sword King City!
Located at the foot of Myriad Sword Mountain!
It was a towering, majestic peak that soared into the clouds and overlooked all directions.
A survey covering an area of 80,000 li!
This one alone stands ten thousand feet high, far surpassing all other mountains!
From a distance!
Like an enormous ancient sword, it pierced through the clouds and descended from the sky.
It plunges straight into the earth.
If a martial artist's cultivation reaches the level of a king, or even higher, and comes here!
They would surely be able to sense the myriad sword intents swirling within that majestic, solitary peak.
It burst forth, stirring up the wind and clouds, as if it wanted to pierce the sky above and soar to the heavens!
The Sword King Pavilion, hailed as one of the world's top powers, ranks among the top five of the twelve.
It is at the very summit of Myriad Sword Peak!
It is said that this power was established over a period of more than three thousand years.
Its history is ancient and long.
Even today.
It remains prosperous and respected by all!
The formidable reputation of the leader of ten thousand swords still resounds throughout the land, awe-inspiring in all directions.
Moreover, every four or five hundred years!
News of the Sword King Pavilion's Sword Master ascending to the Upper Realm spread far and wide.
This caused a huge uproar throughout the world.
Jiang Yi and Nangong Yao rode on Golden Horned Horse, following the large crowd.
They leisurely entered Sword King City.
While on the road!
They had already seen a steady stream of warriors pouring into the city.
The vast majority either carried a sword on their back or had it hanging at their waist.
At a glance!
There were tens of thousands of people, densely packed together, like a swarm of carp crossing a river.
It seems there's a grand event taking place here!
It's attracting them!
Jiang Yi did not use his divine sense, relying solely on his keen senses.
You can then hear the conversations and whispers of people nearby.
Have you heard?
"Half a month ago, an outer sect elder of the Sword King Pavilion broke through to the True King realm."
He was promoted from outer sect elder to inner sect elder and was allowed to establish his own sword mountain.
"It can accept disciples and pass on its unique skills."
There are rumors that!
That inner sect elder was a prodigy from a remote little town.
A hundred years ago, it was valued by the high-ranking members of the Sword King Pavilion who happened to be passing by!
He then brought him back to the Sword Pavilion and nurtured him with great care.
Until this year!
He shed his mortal body in one fell swoop, stepped into the pinnacle of martial arts, and achieved the position of True King.
"That's right!"
"That elder is indeed from a small town, something like Rock Mountain City!"
According to my brother in the cabinet, to be more specific, it's a small clan called the Li family.
He was previously referred to as Elder Li!
But now!
The Sword King Pavilion has already bestowed upon that person the title of True King; now we must honor him as—
"North Sea Sword Master!"
"Today marks the day he opened up the mountain, and he will personally come to Sword King City."
It elucidates its principles and discusses its North Sea Sword Intent.
If someone has exceptional talent and catches his eye, he might take them under his wing.
From that moment on, it soared to new heights!
"Absolutely! Absolutely!"
Even if I'm not chosen, as long as I can glean some insights from their swordplay competition!
That was incredibly beneficial and rewarding!
"No wonder, this news has attracted so many swordsmen from all over the world!"
"Hahaha!"
"Let's go, let's go!"
"Let's try to get a good spot near the Sword Discussion Platform..."
"Let's go together!"
Jiang Yi listened quietly, collecting this information and extracting useful insights from it.
The Li family in Rock Mountain City?
Become a true king and advance to the inner sect?
North Sea Sword Master?
This information, when put together, immediately piqued his interest.
What a coincidence!
It seems he arrived just in time!
Nangong Yao seemed to notice a subtle change in his expression.
He couldn't help but speak, asking curiously,
"You know him?"
"I don't know him!"
Jiang Yi shook his head, paused for a moment, and then added—
"But you'll get to know each other soon!"
"Hmph!"
As if guessing his thoughts, Nangong Yao twitched her nose and crossed her arms in front of her chest.
It was already bulging!
With this compression, the curvature becomes more pronounced, making it look heavy.
It looks like a pair of small watermelons and pomelos hanging down!
"And then, the next step is to prepare to send him on his way, right?"
"Is that right?"
Jiang Yi: "..."
"Even if you don't tell me, this fairy already knows!"
"Neigh..."
The wildebeest let out a cheerful neigh at just the right moment, as if in agreement with her statement.
"It's the North Sea Sword Master! He's here!"
"The North Sea Sword Master has arrived!"
Suddenly, someone shouted!
The crowd erupted in excitement, and everyone spontaneously stood on tiptoe.
Look towards that towering sword-shaped peak in the distance!
"Boom!!!"
As soon as the cry faded, a bone-chilling wind swept in from afar.
The entire Sword King City trembled!
The temperature between heaven and earth could be clearly felt to be dropping rapidly.
A strange chill rose up!
The sight sent a shiver down the spines of those present, who instinctively tightened their robes.
Above the sky!
A middle-aged figure slowly appeared, dressed in a silver robe and carrying a silver-white sword on his back.
His aura was revealed!
The surrounding space was filled with chilling air, creating a spectacular scene of ice and snow.
The wind is biting cold, and the land is frozen solid for miles!
It was like the snow-covered North Nether Land!
The title of North Sea Sword Master!
That's certainly well-deserved!
Behind him were several mid-to-high-level kings from the Sword King Pavilion.
When they arrived at the Sword Discussion Platform that was over a hundred feet high, they found themselves on it.
They stood quite consciously on either side!
As for the North Sea Sword Master!
He then sat cross-legged on the central futon, which appeared to be sewn with gold thread.
Upon seeing this, all the city officials of Sword King City...
He hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed in greeting, and at the same time opened his mouth and shouted loudly--
"Welcome, North Sea Sword Master!"
The thousands of swordsmen below also bowed and saluted in unison, saying:
"Welcome, North Sea Sword Master!"
The North Sea Sword Master was surrounded by a hazy, cold white light, and the radiance of swordsmanship lingered around him.
Its true appearance is unclear.
But sit there!
It resembled a towering iceberg, exuding a terrifying and chilling aura!
Even from a distance, he looked as if he were frozen solid.
"Is this the North Sea Sword Intent?"
"Terrifying..."
"It is said that before reaching the realm of True King, he traveled to the North Nether Land."
"He spent decades seeking enlightenment amidst the icy snow!"
"It seems the rumor is true!"
"If I gain anything from this sword competition, I will definitely go to the Northern Darkness..."
"Learn from him!"
At this moment, the North Sea Sword Master on the high platform began to expound his swordsmanship...
