Taiyi's trial

Outside Profound Sword Mountain.

Chen Beiwu raised his eyes and surveyed the magnificent Sword Mountain before him.

One could see rows of jade-like longswords standing like pillars, extending forward along the Jade Platform until they reached the magnificent Mountain Gate.

The two characters "Profound Sword" written on the plaque above the Mountain Gate are sharp and unparalleled, as if countless peerless Flying Sword are soaring into the sky, containing an indescribable profound Sword Intent.

"That Sword Intent!"

Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow, sensing a sense of familiarity.

"Hey!" (This feels so Aberration!)

Xuele blinked, keenly sensing the pulsation of the Taiyi Bloodline True Form within his body.

"Huh? (How does that feel?)"

The Golden Egg was somewhat curious.

"Hey." (It feels like something is watching us.)

Xuele's gaze shifted back and forth, but he could not detect the source of the gaze. He only felt that the Taiyi Bloodline True Form within his body was becoming more and more restless, as if it were being attracted by something.

"Buzz!"

Just then, the Profound Sword Mountain flashed with light, revealing the figures of cultivators.

The leader was none other than the Sword Lord Xiaoyao, who had previously sparred with Chen Beiwu in Sword Dao.

"Still at the Half-Step Spirit Transformation stage."

Chen Beiwu's eyes flickered slightly, and he could tell at a glance that Li Xiaoyao was now only one step away from Spirit Transformation Venerable.

But when that step can be taken depends on fate and the other party's circumstances.

While Chen Beiwu was investigating Li Xiaoyao, the latter also felt an indescribable pressure.

"The intelligence was indeed accurate; Chen Zi'ang has indeed broken through the barrier of the Nascent Spirit Transformation Venerable!"

Li Xiaoyao suppressed the complex thoughts in his mind, bowed slightly, and spoke in a low but neither humble nor arrogant manner, exuding an air of refined elegance:

"Li Xiaoyao of the Mysterious Sword Pavilion greets Alliance Leader Chen."

"I, Chen, have come in haste today, without having presented my visiting card a day in advance." Chen Beiwu smiled slightly, "Please forgive my rudeness, Fellow Daoist Li."

"Alliance Leader Chen, you flatter me. I am unworthy of the title 'fellow Daoist'," Li Xiaoyao said, bowing respectfully.

Those who achieve success come first.

Although he was older than Chen Zi'ang, the gap between Nascent Soul True Lord and Spirit Transformation Venerable was not something that age or seniority could easily bridge. "This isn't the place to talk. Could we perhaps find another place to discuss this?" Chen Beiwu said calmly, as if he were the master of this Mountain Gate. Li Xiaoyao's expression remained unchanged. He looked at the plaque above the Mountain Gate and politely said, "The Profound Sword Mountain is sealed and does not receive outsiders. Please forgive us, Alliance Leader Chen." Plans never keep up with changes. What Five Sects Alliance!

If Li Xiaoyao were to continue insisting on the merging of the Five Sects after Chen Zi'ang attained the Spirit Transformation Venerable, it would be tantamount to handing over the Mysterious Sword Pavilion's tens of thousands of years of accumulation and foundation to Mirror Moon. "Oh, can't you make an exception?" Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow, seeing through Li Xiaoyao's thoughts.

The Sword Lord Xiaoyao wanted to nod in agreement, but the buzzing sound of the sect's foundation in his mind forced him to change his mind.

"Well, it's not entirely impossible to compromise."

With a flick of his sleeve, the Sword Lord Xiaoyao pointed his right hand to the Mountain Gate plaque. "Deep within the Profound Sword Mountain plaque lies a special Sword Intent. If Alliance Leader Chen can step onto the Jade Steps and awaken the Sword Intent within the plaque, he can naturally disregard our sect's rules on closing the mountain and enter directly."

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu glanced casually at the Profound Sword plaque and smiled, "Is this really true?"

"Absolutely true," the Sword Lord Xiaoyao said succinctly.

The claim that the plaque of Profound Sword Mountain contains Sword Intent has been circulating for sixty to seventy thousand years, but no Spirit Transformation Grandmaster within the Sect has ever been able to verify this rumor.

If it weren't for the sect's Sect artifact reminding him today, the Sword Lord Xiaoyao would have almost forgotten this rule.

"Then I'll give it a try."

Chen Beiwu didn't say much and walked directly towards the Mountain Gate plaque.

"Tread!"

"Tread!"

"Tread!"

With each step Chen Beiwu took, the Jade Platform beneath his feet emitted a burst of light.

The Sword Lord Xiaoyao's eyes narrowed, realizing that the radiance was not Chen Zi'ang deliberately showing off his skills, but rather a manifestation of the Sword Intent he had comprehended.

Buzz!

The closer Chen Beiwu got to the Profound Sword Mountain, the clearer the buzzing sound in his mind became, as if something was about to awaken.

"There's definitely something to it!"

Chen Beiwu visualized the Great Mystery Guarding the One, his Primordial Spirit sinking into the Mud Palace Pill, only to find that the Green Jade Steps in front of him suddenly disappeared, replaced by a five-colored Dragon Shadow.

"Could this be the Sword Intent contained within the Profound Sword plaque?"

As soon as Chen Beiwu had a thought, he saw the five-colored Dragon Shadow suddenly accelerate and instantly merge into his mind.

Rumble!

Heavenly Sword cry then resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

Upon witnessing this scene, the expressions of the Grand Elder the Mysterious Sword Pavilion, including the Sword Lord Xiaoyao, were all quite interesting.

Could it be that the vast Sword Intent the Mysterious Sword Pavilion has not touched for tens of thousands of years will ultimately fall into the hands of a sect Sect Master of the Mirror Moon Sect?

Fortunately, the sword's cry came and went quickly, and the Green Jade Steps beneath Chen Zi'ang's feet also Annihilation their brilliance, no longer producing any strange phenomena. "So it was a failure after all?" A complex look flashed in Gu Wuji's eyes.

He hoped to see the highest level of Sword Dao Taiyi Dao Sect Chen Zi'ang, but he also felt that the cultivators of the Mysterious Sword Pavilion were no weaker than others, at least in terms of Sword Intent, they should not be surpassed by the cultivators of the other four sects.

The Sword Lord Xiaoyao's eyes flickered as he looked at Chen Zi'ang, whose expression remained calm.

Strange, since even the successive Spirit Transformation Sword Venerable of the Mysterious Sword Pavilion couldn't revive the Sword Intent contained within the Mountain Gate plaque, it's only natural that Alliance Leader Chen failed this time, and it's not surprising.

But his unease was growing, as if it were a sign of something.

"Could it be that Alliance Leader Chen is holding back and hasn't used his full Sword Intent yet?"

When Sword Lord Xiaoyao realized what was happening, he saw Chen Beiwu's right hand outstretched, and in his palm appeared a plant Demon King that looked like an elf from an ancient painting.

No, that's not right!

The Sword Lord Xiaoyao's pupils contracted, his eyes filled with shock.

Fifth-Realm Demon Venerable!!!

Besides Chen Zi'ang, his Contract Companion Beast have also reached such an incredible level.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Sword Intent soared to the heavens, and the expressions of the Grand Elder of the Mysterious Sword Pavilion changed slightly. They all sensed the tremors of their own natal Profound Sword within their Sea of Consciousness, as if they had encountered the Lord of Swords. In an instant, streaks of sword light shot into the Firmament, activating the Mysterious Sword Pavilion's plaque and causing a wisp of Chaos sword light to bloom, suddenly falling from the Firmament. "Ah!"

Xuele looked up, and her green robes caught the wisp of Chaos sword light.

As a result, Chen Beiwu, who was studying Shared Cultivation Xuele, also lost his senses and became dazed, vaguely touching upon a supreme Sword Dao path.

"Could this be the Sword Intent left behind by the Taiyi Dao Venerable?"

A thought flashed through Chen Beiwu's mind, and he discovered that the Sword Intent within his Sea of Consciousness was rapidly dissolving, transforming into profound and obscure Ancient Seal Script.

The Taiyi Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate Dao Register

Upon realizing the contents of the Dao Register, Chen Beiwu was quite shocked.

As is widely known, both the Southern Wild Region and the Immortal Alliance divide the Sword Dao path into six realms.

The First Realm is Sword Qi Thunderclap, Initial Glimpse of the Gateway.

The Second Realm is the Sword Light Division, entering the inner sanctum.

The Third Realm is the Sword Intent Penetrating the Profound and the enlightenment of the Sword Heart.

The Fourth Realm is to Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Dharmas and slay gods with a single blow.

The Fifth Realm is the Sword Intent Soaring to the Firmament, Unite Body with Sword.

Chen Beiwu and Xuele's Sword Dao skills have now reached this First Realm.

Above the Fifth Realm lies the Sixth Realm of Sword Dao, which countless Sword Cultivator have relentlessly pursued: [Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate, Union with the Dao through the Sword].

As the name suggests, Sword Dao who has reached this First Realm of Sword Cultivator can Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate, transcend the mortal realm and enter sainthood, carrying the Great Dao with his sword, and becoming a Primordial Sword Primordial Unity Sword Saint Void Refinement Dao Venerable of the same realm.

It should be understood that only extraordinary beings who have taken the Void Refinement Third Step can be called Hunyuan Saint.

This shows just how valuable the title of Primordial Unity Sword Saint is!

Of course, in terms of pure Slaughter prowess, the Primordial Unity Sword Saint cannot rival the Hunyuan Saint; he can only surpass Dao Venerable of the same realm.

Even so, Chen Beiwu couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement as he looked at the "Taiyi Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate Dao Register".

The reason is simple: this Dao Register is outrageous, being an unparalleled Sword Dao method that directly leads to the Sixth Realm of Sword Dao.

Once he Technique Cultivator to the Initial Transformation Stage, he will be able to forge his own Great Dao, prove the Dao with the sword, Void Refinement, and achieve the Primordial Unity.

"Wow! (This Cultivation Method is so difficult!)"

Xuele's eyes darted around, as if reading Heavenly Book, unable to comprehend the profound principles contained within. He could only try to understand them through the Taiyi True Form Bloodline within his body. Chen Beiwu, on the other hand, was blessed with the Nine Fortunes Crown Status and possessed the Five Phases Heavenly Sword Spirit Root. With just a sweep of his Divine Sense, he gained some insights. "Alliance Leader Chen, could you allow me to witness that Sword Intent?" the Sword Lord Xiaoyao couldn't help but ask.

If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening.

Although he gained the Sect artifact, it was only as a tool, and he was not qualified to fully comprehend the terrifying Sword Intent contained within the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword.

Unless he is determined to die.

Chen Beiwu: "Can we climb the mountain now?"

"Alliance Leader Chen, please."

Suppressing his thoughts, the Sword Lord Xiaoyao stepped forward to lead the way.

Chen Beiwu remained calm and followed under the complex gazes of many Grand Elder of the Mysterious Sword Pavilion.

Mysterious Sword Pavilion, Taiyi Hall.

After a few brief pleasantries, the Sword Lord Xiaoyao couldn't contain his curiosity and asked about the Sword Intent.

"That Sword Intent actually contains a Cultivation Method called the Taiyi Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate Dao Register," Chen Beiwu said truthfully.

There's only one Cultivation Method on either side.

Judging from the signs on the Mountain Gate the Xuele and the Mysterious Sword Pavilion, it is extremely difficult to master this Cultivation Method.

Even if he wanted to teach without discrimination and spread the complete "Taiyi Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate Dao Register" throughout the entire Southern Wild Region, there might not be many people who could even begin to learn it, let alone cultivate it to the Minor Accomplishment Stage.

"The Taiyi Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate Dao Register?"

The Sword Lord Xiaoyao was slightly taken aback, recalling the rumors recorded in the Sect's Ancient Texts.

The First-Generation Founder of the Mysterious Sword Pavilion was once a sword attendant serving Taiyi Dao Venerable, responsible for tending to the Primordial Chaos Dao Artifact, Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword.

Could this Cultivation Method possibly...?

Li Xiaoyao's mind stirred slightly, and suddenly the Sect artifact echoed in his mind with a hint of disdain.

"Those who do not enter the Primordial Unity will ultimately become slaves to the Dao."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyao's breath hitched slightly, and he understood what the Sect artifact was all about.

To put it bluntly, those who have not yet reached the Primordial Unity stage are simply not worthy of being seen by Primordial Chaos Dao Artifact and are only fit to be slaves.

"The Five Lineages were originally one, but now the Heaven-Severing and Earth-Isolating Grand Formation to collapse. Fellow Daoist Li, have you ever thought about the Five Lineages returning to their original state and restoring the glory of the Taiyi Dao Sect to deal with the threats from the Eastern Land, Western Heaven, and Northern Profound Regions?" Chen Beiwu directly stated his intention.

Regardless of whether he could obtain the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword on this trip, he felt that the internal strife among the Earth Evolution Realm Five Great Sects should end.

Li Xiaoyao lowered his eyes slightly, lost in thought. The Grand Elder behind him was also slightly startled, looking at the man with a complicated expression.

At the Sect council meeting, the Sword Lord Xiaoyao advocated for Five Sects alliance, and soon after, Chen Zi'ang visited all of them.

If this is a coincidence, then it's far too coincidental!

"The Five Lineages have been separated for many years. How difficult it is for Alliance Leader Chen to change the ancient rules of the Sect and return them to one lineage." Li Xiaoyao did not directly refuse, but pointed out the difficulty of the matter.

"It's all about human effort. If we give up just because something is difficult, what kind of immortals are we cultivating?" Chen Beiwu said bluntly. "What does Fellow Daoist Li think?"

"Alliance Leader Chen says is true."

The Sword Lord Xiaoyao did not refute, but readily admitted it, then changed the subject. "However, the matter of the Five Sects Alliance Non-Self can decide."

"Oh, then who can make that decision?" Chen Beiwu's eyes narrowed.

The Sword Lord Xiaoyao smiled, "It seems that Alliance Leader Chen is unaware of the inside story of the split of Taiyi Five Lineages."

"I'd like to hear the details," Chen Beiwu said calmly.

The Sword Lord Xiaoyao stood up and looked towards the back mountain. "If Alliance Leader Chen wishes to know, why don't you come with me to a place?"

"Huh? (Could this be a trap?)"

The Golden Egg instinctively became suspicious.

"Hey!" (There shouldn't be any problems!)

Following the gaze of the Sword Lord Xiaoyao, Xuele could vaguely sense the source of the throbbing of the Bloodline True Form.

Chen Beiwu narrowed his eyes slightly, his mind sinking into the Chaos Heaven and Earth.

The radiance of the Nine- Status Nine Fortunes Crown within the Chaos Heaven and Earth remained unchanged, without the slightest warning.

"Then I'll trouble Fellow Daoist Li to lead the way," Chen Beiwu readily agreed.

Mysterious Sword Pavilion, the Sword Mound Abyss.

As Sect, this place has always been quiet.

Suddenly, footsteps broke the silence.

Guided by the Sword Lord Xiaoyao, Chen Beiwu saw a magnificent Sword Mountain rising majestically deep within the Sword Mound, its cold light piercing the sky, composed of countless Third-Tier Treasure Sword, Fourth Tier Profound Sword, and Fifth Tier yuan swords.

"Hey!" (What a chaotic Sword Intent!)

Xuele instinctively felt a sense of unease.

For some reason, the seemingly chaotic Sword Intent here sent a chill down its spine.

Just then, the Sword Lord Xiaoyao turned to look at Chen Beiwu and said, word by word:

"The one who truly governs the Mysterious Sword Pavilion has never been me, but rather the foundation and strength of the Mysterious Sword Pavilion."

"If Alliance Leader Chen wishes for the Mysterious Sword Pavilion and the Mirror Moon Sect to unite, he will likely need to persuade my sect's powerful foundation, not me."

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu was not surprised.

Heavenly One Northern Nether Mirror could harbor disloyalty towards him, then the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword could naturally be so domineering as to control everything within the Mysterious Sword Pavilion.

The only thing that worried Chen Beiwu was the nature of the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword and whether it was possible to contact and communicate with it.

If it harbors ill intentions like the Heavenly Abyss Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron, he will have no choice but to summon the Nine-Breath Chaos or use the Ten Directions Gate to escape.

"So this is?" Chen Beiwu asked crisply.

"Our sect's foundation lies right here on Sword Mountain."

The Sword Lord Xiaoyao cut to the chase. "If Alliance Leader Chen can find the essence of my sect among the countless Flying Sword, he will naturally be qualified to exchange Dao artifacts with my sect. Otherwise, if Alliance Leader Chen cannot find it, he should return home and not mention the matter of the Five Sects returning to one lineage again."

After speaking, the Sword Lord Xiaoyao waited quietly for Chen Zi'ang's reaction.

The reason was simple: this was a test specially arranged for Chen Zi'ang by the Sect artifacts.

Whether Chen Zi'ang chooses to accept or refuse, it is clear that he is compatible with the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword.

"How many chances do we have to try and fail?" Chen Beiwu pondered.

Since it concerned Primordial Chaos Dao Artifact, he dared not be careless.

"You only have three chances to confirm, and all three are wrong, which means that Alliance Leader Chen..."

The Sword Lord Xiaoyao didn't say everything, but his meaning was already quite clear.
