Time flies.
A month has passed.
Han Xuanji opened his eyes, and strands of supreme Sword Intent, like Surging Waves waves, dispersed the floating clouds for thousands of miles.
He hasn't been idle these days; his cultivation has improved considerably, but he's focused most of his energy on comprehending the Sword Dao.
He has mastered all the Sword Dao techniques he has learned over the years through his daily check-ins.
Based on techniques such as the " Flying Immortal Sword Instruction," "Soaring Firmament Sword Instruction," " Devil-Suppressing Sword Instruction," " Azure Lotus Sword Instruction," and the peerless sword techniques he obtained by signing in at the Mount Shu Sword Sect and various holy lands, he finally comprehended his own Sword Dao.
He named himself Mystic Heaven Sword Dao.
Xuan (玄) precedes Tian (天).
It means his Sword Dao is as high as the heavens!
"Buzz!"
All the cultivators in the Kunlun Immortal Sect could feel an earth-shattering Sword Intent emerging, and the swords in their hands emitted endless sword cries.
That Sword Intent was not simply sharpness, but contained a vast artistic conception that transcended all things and looked down upon the heavens.
"My God! This... what kind of terrifying Sword Intent is this?"
Throughout the sect, countless disciples were deeply shaken; those with weaker cultivation even found it difficult to breathe.
Their swords hummed softly, as if expressing their reverence.
Some speculate that someone has comprehended the ultimate Sword Dao.
Some speculate that it signifies the birth of an unparalleled immortal sword.
Amidst a variety of opinions.
Soon, the day of the Kunlun Sword Tournament arrived.
This day.
At the summit of Kunlun.
A massive platform hangs atop a sheer cliff, surrounded by fierce, knife-like winds, making it impossible for ordinary cultivators to gain a foothold.
Today, however, this place has become the center of attention in Nine Provinces.
In the void surrounding the platform, countless divine thoughts, some bright and some dark, intertwined and swirled. These were top cultivators from all corners of the Nine Provinces, all holding their breath and waiting for the arrival of the two protagonists.
True Person Yuchen, Daoist Lingyun, Feng Xianzi, and other high-ranking members of Kunlun stood on a floating jade platform, their expressions varied, watching the scene with tension.
Lu Fan, Li Taiqing, and others observed the battle from a more distant location.
With a clear and melodious sword cry, seemingly coming from beyond the heavens, it instantly tore through the heavy, stagnant wind.
A figure in black robes slowly descended from the sky, stepping on invisible steps.
Han Xuanji walked with ease, her clothes fluttering in the strong wind, yet she showed no signs of dishevelment.
Instead, it exudes an indescribable sense of freedom and composure.
His face was calm, his eyes deep, as if he were attending an ordinary tea party.
However, the moment he stepped onto the center of the dueling platform, the entire platform seemed to sink slightly, and even the howling wind seemed to freeze for a moment.
Almost at the same time, another figure suddenly appeared.
There was no grand display, only a pure and unadulterated Sword Intent that suddenly appeared at the other end of the dueling platform.
Jian Wuchen was dressed in a black outfit, his figure as upright as a solitary peak, his face cold and stern, his eyes as sharp as a sword blade tempered with ten thousand years of ice, without a trace of human warmth, his whole being like a peerless divine sword piercing the sky.
His gaze fell on Han Xuanji, scrutinizing her.
All the cultivators' eyes were focused on the two figures facing each other from a distance.
[ Jian Wuchen: Immortal Ascension Perfection, True Disciple of the Azure Cloud Sword Palace, and a disciple of the Third-Realm Sword Immortal Heavenly Heart Sword Immortal, Tianxin Sword Immortal. The Azure Cloud Sword Palace sent him to the mortal realm to resist the Devil Race. Knowing your talent, he has developed a strong interest in you and intends to fight you. If your aptitude is good, he plans to recruit you into the Azure Cloud Sword Palace.]
Disciple of the Third-Realm Sword Immortal?
Han Xuanji nodded secretly. It seemed that the other party had some strength, otherwise he wouldn't have been entrusted with such an important task.
I wonder what level his Second-Realm Sword Immortal status equates to?
Han Xuanji remained calm, his aura as restrained as an abyss, Jian Wuchen observed him for a long time.
He realized he couldn't understand the other person.
This kid is no ordinary person!
"My Jian Wuchen. I come from the Azure Cloud Sword Palace and inherit the ' Heavenly Heart Sword Dao.' I have heard that your Sword Dao is profound, so I have come to meet you."
Jian Wuchen spoke, his voice clear and melodious like the ringing of a sword, piercing through the wind and reaching everyone's ears clearly.
His words inadvertently revealed a hint of solemnity.
Han Xuanji nodded slightly, his gaze calm and unwavering.
"My name is Han Xuanji, please."
There were no unnecessary formalities, no rousing declarations of war.
The single word "please" was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly shattering the silence atop Kunlun Mountain!
"Buzz--!"
Jian Wuchen moved!
He didn't draw his sword, but simply pointed his fingers like a sword and gently pointed in the direction where Han Xuanji was!
In an instant, the world changed color!
The boundless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi at the summit of Kunlun Mountain converged wildly, condensing at his fingertips into a massive pillar of light that stretched across the heavens and earth.
Wherever the sword tip pointed, space shattered like fragile glass!
A vast and majestic Sword Intent, as if acting on behalf of Heaven to punish, suddenly descended!
This is the first move of " Heavenly Heart Sword Dao " - Heavenly Punishment!
Drawing upon the power of heaven and earth, it transforms into the sword of Heavenly Dao, judging all things!
The terrifying pressure caused countless spectators to turn pale, and those with weaker cultivation even staggered backward, their Qi and Blood churning.
They now understood why this person was chosen as the " One Destined to Face the Tribulation "—because he possessed this ability!
True Person Yuchen and the others' pupils constricted sharply, their hearts filled with horror.
The power of this sword far surpasses the realm of ordinary immortal Immortal Ascension Realm. Is this the skill of a prodigy from the upper realm?
In their hearts
Faced with this earth-shattering sword strike, Han Xuanji remained standing still.
Only when the piercing scream that tore through space was deafening did he slowly raise his right hand.
There was no earth-shattering burst of energy.
He simply pointed his fingers like a sword and gently slashed at the sword of light that stretched across the heavens and earth.
The movements are freehand and understated, like brushing away a speck of dust from clothing.
"Laugh--!"
A faint sound, almost drowned out by the wind!
That earth-shattering finger strike, upon touching the invisible trajectory traced by Han Xuanji's fingertip, crumbled into countless points of light and vanished completely!
"What?"
Jian Wuchen's pupils suddenly contracted. Although this move wasn't executed with full force, it still showed considerable respect, yet it was so easily... erased?
He didn't even understand how his opponent did it.
This feeling was as if he were fighting against his own master.
"Impossible..."
Jian Wuchen shook his head, naturally not believing that the person in front of him was Third-Realm Sword Immortal immortal like his master.
"Good!"
Instead of showing defeat, Jian Wuchen's eyes blazed with an even more intense fighting spirit.
"You do have some skill! Take another strike from me!"
His figure suddenly blurred, leaving behind a lingering shadow.
The next moment, they appeared a hundred feet above Han Xuanji.
This time, he drew his sword!
"Clang--!"
A clear and melodious dragon's roar resounded throughout the heavens!
A long sword, entirely purple-gold in color and engraved with dragon patterns, appeared in his hand.
It's the Legend of Sword and Fairy " Flying Dragon "!
" Heavenly Heart Sword Dao: Starfall!"
Jian Wuchen gripped his sword with both hands and slashed fiercely at Han Xuanji below.
As the Sword Force struck, the sky behind him suddenly darkened.
Countless illusory stars appeared in the night sky.
Each star trailed a long, purple-gold tail of flame, carrying a terrifying power to annihilate everything, and crashed towards Han Xuanji like a world-destroying meteor shower.
This is no longer a human sword technique, but a supreme Swordsmanship that draws upon the power of the Tianxing!
Under the influence of the Sword Force, the entire space atop Kunlun seemed to freeze.
" Your Swordsmanship is quite good."
Han Xuanji's voice rang out.
The next second.
Jian Wuchen's expression changed drastically, and his hand holding the sword trembled involuntarily.
He saw an extremely terrifying scene.
The world spun around him, and he found himself in a world filled with Sword Qi.
Here, the sun, moon, and stars seem to be mere accompaniments.
