Just as everyone stood bewildered, a figure appeared, radiating boundless light, her sharp aura crushing the Nine Heavens.
It was a woman, surrounded by a rain of glazed light, dreamlike and illusory. She was slender, her purple robes fluttering, her eyes deep and piercing as she looked down upon heaven and earth.
She walked forward just like that, bathed in the light of the Great Dao and wreathed in endless Chaos Qi, looking down upon past, present, and future.
The ringing of swords echoed. Everything between heaven and earth was affected, taking on the sharpness of the Sword Dao and becoming peerless sword weapons that rang out metallically.
Within the Heavenly Deity Academy, countless people trembled as they watched that figure, their faces drained of blood. Even the elders looked utterly grave.
"It really is Elder Yun!"
When they saw Yun Ying's indistinct figure through the blazing light, everyone was stunned.
When had they ever seen Yun Ying look so terrifying? Even when she had fought that Ancient Ancestor-Level Battle Spirit on their journey to the Realm Graveyard, she had not been as intimidating as she was now.
"What terrifying Sword Dao cultivation!"
The old monsters from the Immortal Academy and Sacred Academy also braced themselves as though facing a formidable enemy. The aura emanating from Yun Ying had clearly already broken beyond the Self-Severing Realm.
"Elder Yun? Could she be the one everyone has been talking about lately?!"
Something stirred among the people from the Immortal Academy and Sacred Academy.
"Fellow Daoists of the Heavenly Deity Academy, what is going on with this Elder Yun?"
The old monsters from the Immortal Academy and Sacred Academy spoke up, questioning the Second Elder and the others.
The Second Elder glanced at that figure and shook his head. "I don't know either."
