Almost all cultivators in the Eternal Sword Pavilion take the pursuit of the height of the sword monument as their lifelong goal.
Even Chen Xin, who seemed indifferent on the surface, was actually quite concerned about the height of the sword monument; otherwise, he wouldn't have displayed his Sword Intent in public.
Although it may sound like a pursuit of fame and fortune, this is a long-standing, subtle influence that is hard to escape.
After Han Xuanji merged with the entry [ Ancestor of the Sword Dao ], he was able to sense the Sword Dao path of the entire Sword Stele Forest and control the height of the sword steles to a certain extent.
If he so desired, he could make his sword monument rival that of the Sword Ancestor.
But Han Xuanji wasn't stupid either.
That would be too high-profile and too ostentatious.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine zhang (approximately 333 meters) demonstrates one's strength without appearing unreasonable.
More importantly, this height actually reflects his true level of Sword Dao.
The fusion of the term "Ancestor of the Sword Dao " and the Origin of Sword Intent has allowed his Sword Dao to far surpass his current level.
There's nothing to hide about that.
If someone is a "successor of the Sword Ancestor's Successor " and lacks even this basic ability, it seems difficult to gain the respect of the people.
"Han... Junior Brother Han, congratulations."
Fu Xin's voice came from behind.
The other person walked slowly towards him, a gentle smile on their face, and bowed slightly.
"Your sword monument is already taller than mine."
Fu Xin spoke in a relaxed tone, but Han Xuanji noticed that the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, indicating that he was not as calm as he appeared.
Fu Xin himself was a sword cultivator at the Sage Realm Stage, and the height of his sword tablet was among the top in the Sword Pavilion. However, he was now far behind a disciple of the Sacred Court who had just entered the Sage Realm Stage. It would be a lie to say that he was not heartbroken.
But he quickly adjusted his mindset and called Han Xuanji "Junior Brother," which was somewhat of a deliberate attempt to be close to him.
Some are also shameless.
After all, if we were to discuss seniority within the Sword Pavilion, he should address Han Xuanji as "Senior Brother," but he simply couldn't bring himself to do it.
Soon, more congratulations poured in. Disciples of the Sword Pavilion, exchange students from the Sacred Court, and many elders of the Sword Pavilion Holy Lord Realm also stepped forward to offer their congratulations.
Both the extraordinary phenomenon of the Sword Ancestor and the nearly thousand-foot-tall sword monument can be said to be unprecedented achievements.
If word gets out in the future, the Eternal Sword Pavilion will probably have two more legends.
The protagonist of both legends is the same person.
In the void, Ji Mingyue looked down at Han Xuanji, who was surrounded by the crowd, and finally let out a long breath.
To be honest, she was a little worried that Han Xuanji's sword tablet would soar straight into the sky, breaking through three thousand feet...
She turned to look at the Sword Venerable Wuxin, her tone carrying a hint of solemnity and command:
"Junior Brother Wuxin, Han Xuanji will probably stay in the Sword Pavilion for a while longer."
Try your best to keep him and build a closer relationship.
She paused, then added, "Whether you use the name of your Heart Sword Pavilion or the name of the Sword Pavilion, the important thing is to prevent him from feeling alienated from the Sword Pavilion. If you have any needs, just tell me."
The Sword Venerable Wuxin nodded.
He had no intention of slacking off at all, but he never expected Han Xuanji to give him such a big surprise.
He couldn't help but complain:
"If I had known earlier that Han Xuanji was so monstrous, I should have snatched him from Tianming's hands back then."
This is the Sword Ancestor's Successor, how could he be a member of the Sacred Court?
His complaint carried a hint of resentment.
Ji Mingyue didn't reply, but the corners of her lips curved slightly.
Indeed, how could the Sword Ancestor's Successor be a disciple of the Sacred Court?
Flying Snow Sword Venerable stood to the side, gazing wistfully into the distance, and softly sighed:
"Something feels off, but oh well, it's still quite interesting."
After saying this, he didn't say anything more, but his gaze fell on the 999-foot-tall sword monument, and there was a deep thought in his eyes that others couldn't understand.
Sacred Radiance Domain, Nine Mysteries Palace.
Mo Chenxiao casually picked up the communication jade tablet and found that it was a message sent by Jian Wuji.
He had previously specifically instructed the other party to keep an eye on Han Xuanji.
After clicking on it, he glanced at it, paused for a moment, then frowned before slowly relaxing.
What do you mean by my disciple becoming the Sword Ancestor's Successor?
Mo Chenxiao stared at the line of words, reading it over and over again.
Then he stood up and paced back and forth in the hall.
Jian Wuji's account was vague, but it contained a lot of praise for Han Xuanji's extraordinary talent.
But how could he not understand how monstrous his disciple was?
But the old man's final comment, " Han Xuanji may have obtained the Sword Ancestor," made Mo Chenxiao's heart itch with desire. He didn't care how many resources cross-domain communication would consume, and directly activated the token to connect with Jian Wuji's message.
After a long period of questioning, Mo Chenxiao finally understood the whole story.
Han Xuanji triggered a strange phenomenon in the Sword Ancestor's legacy within the Sword Stele Forest, erecting a sword stele that was 999 feet tall, alarming the entire Eternal Sword Pavilion.
After hearing this, Mo Chenxiao leaned back in his chair, completely disregarding his image, and it took him a long time to recover.
That's an exaggeration.
His disciple became the Sword Ancestor's Successor?
Wouldn't that put him on the same generation as the Sword Ancestor?
Rounding it up, that's practically equivalent to him being the Sword Ancestor!
Mo Chenxiao suddenly felt that he had never stood so straight before.
He cleared his throat, picked up the spiritual tea on the table, took a sip, and pretended to regain his usual composure. Then, he casually took out his communication token and sent a message to each of his old friends.
The messages were exactly the same, containing only one sentence. "[How did you know my disciple went to the Eternal Sword Pavilion and became the Sword Ancestor's Successor?]"
After finishing, he put away the token with satisfaction, picked up his teacup, and took another sip.
The tea tasted the same, but he felt it smelled especially good today.
Great Qian Domain, Hunyuan Hall.
A communication Jade Slip floated in front of the Immeasurable Saint Emperor, containing intelligence from the Eternal Sword Pavilion.
Han Xuanji triggered a strange phenomenon in the Sword Ancestor Sword Stele Forest, erecting a 999-zhang-long sword stele, which shook the entire Sword Pavilion.
After reading it, the Boundless Holy Emperor remained silent for a moment. His face showed little expression, but his heart was in turmoil.
Goodness!
Han Xuanji gave him another big surprise.
He originally thought that sending Han Xuanji to the Eternal Sword Pavilion would allow him to learn some Sword Dao and make some good connections, but he never expected that this kid would directly overturn the inheritance of their ancestors.
The Sword Ancestor's Successor, the 999-foot-long Sword Stele.
This isn't a trip for exchange and learning; it's clearly a trip to challenge the established authority.
But before the joy in his heart could spread, it was suppressed by another emotion.
"Wait a minute... Ji Mingyue is not someone you can easily deal with."
The Immeasurable Saint Emperor had dealt with Ji Mingyue many times and knew that although she appeared aloof and reasonable, she would stop at nothing to get what she set her sights on.
The Sword Ancestor's Successor is essentially the lifeblood of the Eternal Sword Pavilion.
How could Ji Mingyue possibly stand by and watch Han Xuanji return to the Sacred Court?
She will do everything in her power to keep Han Xuanji.
Who knows what kind of terms they'll offer?
