Si Xing's breakthrough also caused a stir of excited exclamations.
" Si Xing has broken through!"
"He actually broke through at this moment!"
"Incredible! I thought this bottleneck would hold him back for at least hundreds of thousands of years, but unexpectedly, he achieved enlightenment during his battle with Young Venerable Han today!"
The crowd chattered amongst themselves, their gazes towards Si Xing filled with envy and admiration.
At some point, everyone had forgotten that this was actually a fair sparring match between cultivators of the same realm, and that Si Xing was actually the one who had the "advantage" on the surface.
After all, one side was a genius cultivator who had just entered the realm of Eternal Sage, and the other side was a veteran prodigy who had been cultivating in the Sage Realm Stage for a long time.
At this point, everyone had already regarded Han Xuanji as an invincible Great Devil King, and Si Xing as the "hero."
"Good grief, this is making it seem like I'm some kind of major villain..."
Han Xuanji was also somewhat speechless.
Normally, it shouldn't be that the protagonist, having greatly improved his Sword Dao and gained immense fame, is challenged by a clearly stronger opponent who attempts to suppress him as the " Sword Ancestor's Successor."
Faced with suppression from a powerful enemy, did he break through on the spot and then deliver a resounding rebuttal?
Compared to him, Si Xing seemed to be the one with the "protagonist's script," unleashing such a sword strike under Si Xing's Sword Dao pressure and using it to break through.
Of course, Han Xuanji also knew that the other party simply wanted to fight him and had no other intentions.
"However, this guy, despite his seemingly unreliable nature, truly lives up to his reputation as a prodigy of the Heart Sword Pavilion."
Han Xuanji nodded secretly, recalling the sword strike he had just unleashed.
After merging with the entry on the Ancestor of the Sword Dao, his understanding of Sword Dao could no longer be measured by ordinary standards.
The instant Si Xing unleashed his Sword Intent Domain, he perfectly analyzed the opponent's Sword Dao and subtly incorporated its valuable aspects into his Sword Dao.
This is what makes his Sword Dao so terrifying.
Compared to Chen Xin's Ultimate Sword Dao, his Sword Dao is closer to the path of the Eternal Sword Ancestor.
However, unlike the Sword Ancestor, Sword Ancestor Sword Dao was like that of a supreme master of Sword Dao, encompassing all things and enlightening all beings.
Han Xuanji's Sword Dao is even more "domineering".
He is the master of the Sword Dao, the Lord of Ten Thousand Swords.
Of course, he also knew that this overwhelming advantage was only effective against cultivators whose realm and Sword Dao were far inferior to his.
He couldn't be so nonchalant when facing top experts like the Sword Venerable Wuxin or the Pavilion Master Mingyue.
But Han Xuanji was already quite satisfied with his sword strike just now; it was naturally not his full strength.
If he were to go all out, Si Xing might not get the "breakthrough in the final moments" script.
"If a Sword Dao were to face me, unless their cultivation level were far higher than mine, they would have almost no chance of winning."
Han Xuanji pondered silently.
If he were to face a cultivator who practices other paths, his Sword Dao would be considered perfect, and he would be hard to find an opponent of the same level.
At this moment, Si Xing sat down cross-legged and began to stabilize his realm.
Han Xuanji naturally did not disturb him, but left Yuntai.
Fu Xin walked up at this moment, her face showing a hint of lingering fear.
To be honest, before witnessing Han Xuanji's skills, although he was amazed by the other party's talent, he didn't have much personal feeling about it.
After all, Han Xuanji had previously defeated a group of geniuses at the Eternal True God Realm, while Fu Xin was a sword cultivator at the Peak Sage. In terms of realm alone, he felt that he was still stronger than Han Xuanji.
But now he realizes he was overthinking things.
What good are his years of arduous training? If he were to face Han Xuanji's sword strike, he would most likely be no match for him.
Si Xing was able to catch it because he broke through in the heat of battle.
This breakthrough was also thanks to Han Xuanji.
A thought suddenly popped into Fu Xin's mind: could fighting Han Xuanji make it easier to break through his current limitations?
He has also been stuck at the Peak Eternal Sage for many years.
Once the thought arises, it can no longer be suppressed.
He hesitated for a moment, then blurted out, almost as if possessed:
"Senior Brother Han, could you give me some pointers later?"
"Um?"
Han Xuanji was somewhat bewildered by Fu Xin, who was now calling him "Senior Brother."
Just a moment ago he was calling me "Junior Brother Han," how come he's suddenly calling me "Senior Brother Han"?
Fu Xin seemed to realize she had acted somewhat abruptly, her face flushing slightly, and quickly added:
"It's just a casual spar. I know I'm no match for Senior Brother Han, but I'd like to experience your Sword Dao."
Han Xuanji thought about it and decided it wasn't a big deal.
Fu Xin is not bad; he led the way before, so it wouldn't hurt to protect him and offer some guidance.
He nodded:
"Sure, but it's best to spar privately; there's no need to make it public."
Fu Xin was overjoyed upon hearing this and nodded repeatedly:
"Of course, I don't want to end up like Si Xing."
He laughed after he finished speaking, but then realized his words were somewhat inappropriate, so he quickly added:
"Ahem, I know you're strong enough to defeat him long ago. I bet you held back with this move, didn't you?"
I guess so.
Han Xuanji didn't bother to explain too much, but he did control the force of his attack, though he didn't hold back too much.
Having just broken through, my hands were indeed a bit too heavy.
I just figured with such a powerful figure like the Eternal Sword Pavilion around, it wouldn't be a problem to be a little heavy-handed.
Seeing the crowd about to surround him, Han Xuanji tossed a sentence to Fu Xin:
We'll see.
He then vanished in a flash, breaking through space to escape.
He was so fast that the Sword Pavilion disciples below the stage, still savoring the battle, only saw a blur before Han Xuanji vanished.
Chu Qi stood at the edge of the crowd, tiptoeing to look around, when she suddenly realized that Han Xuanji was gone. She froze on the spot, unable to react for a long time.
Where's Young Venerable? He was just on stage a moment ago, how did he disappear in the blink of an eye?
Before he could figure it out, a large group of people suddenly surrounded him.
"Young man, you must be Young Venerable Han's attendant? What are Young Venerable Han's hobbies?"
What color sword does Young Venerable Han like?
"Is there anything that Young Venerable Han particularly likes?"
Overwhelmed by a barrage of questions, Chu Qi froze on the spot, unsure how to answer, so she simply pretended to be deaf and dumb and remained silent.
Listening to Swords Residence, a quiet room for cultivation.
Han Xuanji sat down cross-legged and carefully reviewed the gains from his trip to the Sword Stele Forest that day.
The gains from this trip far exceeded his expectations.
The integration of the entry on the Ancestor of the Sword Dao elevated his understanding of Sword Dao to a fundamental level, opening a gateway to the highest realm of Sword Dao for him.
The refinement of the Origin of Sword Intent further elevated his Sword Dao foundation to an unprecedented level, paving the way for his subsequent Sword Dao cultivation.
Breaking through to the Sixth Layer of Eternal Sage was an unexpected and delightful surprise.
However, Han Xuanji's mind wasn't entirely on Sword Dao.
He knew his own situation best. With the system at his disposal, while Sword Dao was important, it was only one link in his Mystic Heaven Great Dao.
He couldn't possibly dedicate his entire life to swordsmanship like Chen Xin did; that would be putting the cart before the horse.
However, on the other hand, the benefits brought by the title of "Ancestor of the Sword Dao " are too obvious. Even if he doesn't deliberately cultivate it, this talent will naturally be integrated into every swing of his sword.
It was an unexpected stroke of luck.
As he was sorting through his gains, he suddenly noticed that he had received messages from more than one person.
Han Xuanji raised his hand and summoned several communication tokens that appeared from the void, neatly arranged in front of him.
A moment later, his expression changed from calm to confusion, and then from confusion to a subtle mix of amusement and exasperation.
