now.
Three Sword Intent filled the world: the azure Sword Intent spread across the east, while the Human Emperor Sword Intent and the swift, wind-like Sword Intent simultaneously spread across the west.
At the heart of the three Sword Intent, the Azure Cloud Sword Master, Xuanyuan Tianzhao, Dugu Jue all stood holding their swords.
If we ignore Ye Qiubai, Xuanyuan Tianzhe (the patriarch of the Xuanyuan Clan is Xuanyuan Tianzhe, not Xuanyuan Wuji; Xuanyuan Wuji is the Supreme Elder), and Xuanyuan Che, then only these three people remain in this world.
Or rather, at this moment, Ye Qiubai and his two companions were completely insignificant under the oppressive aura of the three Azure Cloud Sword Master.
Xuanyuan Tianzhao held the Xuanyuan Sword, and even the sword of the Human Emperor was being suppressed by the Sword Intent unintentionally released by the Azure Cloud Sword Master.
But this is also what made Xuanyuan Tianzhao and Dugu Jue feel strange.
If it were merely a remnant soul, clinging to life for millions of years, how could the Azure Cloud Sword Master's Sword Intent still suppress both of them simultaneously?
The gap is large, but it can't be this large!
Then there's only one possibility.
Xuanyuan Tianzhao stared solemnly at the Azure Cloud Sword Master floating in the air, whose body, though ethereal, was more solid than other souls. He said in a deep voice, "You... are you not a remnant soul? You have retained a complete divine soul?"
Dugu Jue and Xuanyuan Tianzhao were figures of the same era and level, and his insight and perception were no less than Xuanyuan Tianzhao's; he had also guessed this point.
But how is that possible?
No matter how powerful the spirit is, without the nourishment of the physical body, it will gradually weaken as history passes.
Many powerful individuals choose to freeze their own souls in order to preserve their lineage, but this only delays the inevitable.
Heavenly materials and earthly treasures?
Xuanyuan Tianzhao and Dugu Jue ruled out this possibility.
It would be impossible to do this unless the entire Chaos Divine Dynasty mobilized its resources... At that time, the Chaos Divine Dynasty had already burned itself out in its struggle against the Divine Realm, how could it possibly spare so much of its resources to preserve the complete divine soul of the Azure Cloud Sword Master?
If none of these apply, then the only option is to cultivate to the legendary realm of an immortal soul...
But at that level, the Chaos Divine Dynasty would not have been destroyed by the Divine Realm, and the Azure Cloud Sword Master alone could suppress the Divine Realm with a flick of his wrist.
The Azure Cloud Sword Master simply smiled and did not answer Xuanyuan Tianzhao's question. Instead, he waved his hand and said, "Time is running out. We can catch up another day. You may leave now."
Both Xuanyuan Tianzhao and Dugu Jue's expressions darkened.
They came here to carry on the tradition, and now that they're here, are you going to drive them away with just a few words?
Seeing that Xuanyuan Tianzhao and Dugu Jue tightened their grip on their swords, the Azure Cloud Sword Master saw through their thoughts and said with a faint smile, "I think you shouldn't have any other ideas. You were no match for me before, and you still won't be now."
After saying that.
The Azure Cloud Sword Master merely tapped his finger.
Behind him, two streaks of azure Sword Intent flashed like rays of light, slicing directly across the faces of Xuanyuan Tianzhao and Dugu Jue!
Before the two could even react, a bloody gash appeared on their faces, and a warm liquid slid down their cheeks before they realized what had happened!
He stared intently at the Azure Cloud Sword Master, his pupils dilating as if in a violent earthquake.
Even with only their souls remaining, they could be easily suppressed?
Xuanyuan Tianzhao and Dugu Jue suddenly felt dejected.
Dugu Jue said loudly, "Since you've already decided on the successor, why set up so many tests? How come I never noticed your twisted sense of humor before?"
The Azure Cloud Sword Master shrugged and said, "It's been too long, I don't remember. Maybe I was just thinking it was for fun."
Hearing this, Ye Qiubai did not believe it.
Based on his previous assumptions.
The legacy of the Azure Cloud Sword Master was essentially carried out throughout Ye Qiubai's entire path.
To call it fortuitous opportunity or coincidence would be going too far; it would be self-deception.
Xuanyuan Tianzhao the Azure Cloud Sword Master a deep look, naturally not believing such nonsense, and said, "Although I don't know what you're planning or how I'm playing this game, if you were to die like this, it would be rather meaningless. Let's have a drink and a sword fight outside."
The Azure Cloud Sword Master's eyes flickered, and he smiled, saying, "Very well."
Dugu Jue said nothing more, turned around gracefully, and left this place.
Seeing that Xuanyuan Tianzhao was also preparing to leave, Xuanyuan Tianzhe hurriedly said, "Ancestor, are we just going to give up on this inheritance like this?"
Xuanyuan Tianzhao replied, "Sometimes letting go is a form of wisdom. Don't force yourself to grasp what you can't have, especially since..."
not to mention?
Both Xuanyuan Tianzhe and Xuanyuan Che were waiting for the next chapter of Xuanyuan Tianzhao.
Xuanyuan Tianzhao shook his head and said nothing more.
After saying that, he left with Xuanyuan Tianzhe and Xuanyuan Che.
With the departure of the others, only Ye Qiubai and the Azure Cloud Sword Master remained in the entire world.
The Azure Cloud Sword Master turned around, his gaze falling on Ye Qiubai, and said with a faint smile, "You're not bad. It seems you've gained quite a bit of inheritance on top of mine, even inheritances that I can't see through... like that sword."
Naturally, this refers to the Azure Cloud Sword.
Ye Qiubai remained vigilant, keeping his hand close to the jade pendant, ready to crush it at any moment.
There are simply too many suspicious points.
"Did you choose me long ago, senior?" Ye Qiubai asked, voicing his doubts.
The Azure Cloud Sword Master shook his head and said, "Selected? That word is not appropriate. It should be said that you are me."
There was no intention to hide it; at this point, hiding it would probably be meaningless for the Azure Cloud Sword Master.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiubai's pupils contracted sharply.
"I... am you?"
"That's right." The Azure Cloud Sword Master's body slowly floated down and stood in front of Ye Qiubai. At this moment, Ye Qiubai looked closely.
The other person's face did indeed look remarkably like his own!
It's just that the temperament changes over time.
The Azure Cloud Sword Master said, "Back then, I was only one step away from that realm, but I was unable to break through. Just then, the Divine Realm attacked, and time no longer allowed me to delay."
Therefore, I had no choice but to use Secret Method to split my soul in two.
Divide into two?
Besides Ye Qiubai, who else could it be?
Seemingly sensing Ye Qiubai's question, the Azure Cloud Sword Master looked towards the clouds not far away and smiled, "Come out."
The clouds churned.
Amidst Ye Qiubai's surprised and uncertain expression, a figure draped in a black robe floated out from the clouds not far away.
This was one of the members of the Divine Realm's ranks at that time!
No wonder I didn't notice it; it seems this black robe is similar to the one my master gave me.
At this moment.
The figure in black robes lifted his hood, revealing a face that Ye Qiubai recognized very well.
Almost instantly, Ye Qiubai blurted out, " The Primordial Sword Master?"
Back then, in the Mortal Realm, the sect master of the Primordial Sword Sect High-Latitude Realm, Primordial Sword Master!
After the major event, the Primordial Sword Master left the Mortal Realm and disappeared without a trace. Unexpectedly, he joined the Divine Realm.
