Just as everyone was wondering what exactly was going on.
The voice of Lü Daoxuan, the Great Emperor of True Martial Heaven and the Azure Profound Sect's Junior Martial Uncle, rang out through the Spirit Mirror once again:
"When I was thirty, I traveled through Yellow Maple Valley. After a Sword Inquiry with Valley Lord Jia Bingsheng, I visited Spiritual Resonance Peak in Yellow Maple Valley."
"This peak had precipitous slopes, deep valleys, and dense forests, all wreathed in spiritual resonance!"
"Moved by the sight, I left a strand of sword intent hidden within the mountain."
"I used the mountain's spiritual resonance to nourish this sword."
"Seeing it today, this sword has developed spiritual resonance of its own. Extraordinary indeed."
Everyone was aghast to hear this. They had never imagined that such a wondrous sword technique existed in this world, one that borrowed the spiritual resonance of mountains and rivers to conceal and nurture swords.
"Boom!"
Almost as soon as Lü Daoxuan finished speaking, that sword light, whose extraordinary spiritual resonance could be felt with the naked eye alone, merged with the battered sword light holding back the bright moon.
"Rumble..."
Accompanied by a tremor that sounded as though it would tear heaven and earth apart, the bright moon that had been hurtling toward the ground of True Martial Heaven was forcibly halted in midair by the combined strength of the two sword lights, as though struck by a Body-Fixing spell.
At this sight, the cultivators watching from mountaintops throughout Zhenwu could not help cheering in unison.
The Yellow Maple Valley disciples, who could see that sword light up close, could not help calling out together in tribute:
"We disciples of Yellow Maple Valley respectfully welcome Sword Nine Great Emperor to retrieve his sword."
Even the Yellow Maple Valley Valley
