Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
This day.
A figure that was not very tall appeared silently outside the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace; it was none other than the Heavenly Cripple Sword Venerable.
He didn't release any pressure, but simply standing there, the Sword Dao Principle that flowed naturally around him caused the surrounding space to distort slightly.
"It's the Heavenly Cripple Sword Venerable!"
"He actually came!"
"Quickly! Report this to the chief ministers!"
The disciples guarding the passage were the first to notice the anomaly, and cries of alarm immediately rose and fell.
The news spread like wildfire throughout the entire Spirit Void Heavenly Palace, causing a huge sensation.
Countless disciples and elders turned their gazes toward the mountain gate, deeply shocked.
In a short while, several powerful auras rose from the depths of the Heavenly Palace Sword Lineage.
Led by Immortal Venerable Yuxuan, several elders of the Sword Lineage came to greet them.
They had actually anticipated the arrival of the Heavenly Cripple Sword Venerable.
Although Immortal Venerable Yuxuan was displeased, he remained outwardly calm, stepped forward, and cupped his hands in greeting:
" Tiancan, it is an honor to have you grace us with your presence. I am deeply sorry for not greeting you properly. May I ask what advice you may have for me?"
I dare not presume to offer my guidance.
A smile, seemingly gentle but actually concealing a sharp edge, appeared on the face of the Heavenly Cripple Sword Venerable.
"I have heard that Fellow Daoist Yu Xuandao's cultivation of the Extreme Heaven Sword Dao has already received three-tenths of the Extreme Heaven Sword Ancestor's True Disciple, displaying a magnificent and boundless spirit. I admire it greatly and have come here specifically to seek your guidance, hoping to verify what I have learned and explore the ultimate realm of the Sword Dao together."
Upon hearing this, Immortal Venerable Yuxuan frowned.
As expected, the visitors were up to no good.
They had already found out that the Heavenly Cripple Sword Venerable had joined the Demon Court and become a Demon Court elder.
The Demon Court is currently at war with many forces, including the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace. The friction is escalating daily. Although no one above the Golden Immortal has directly intervened due to the constraints of the Immortal Dao Alliance, undercurrents are surging.
The Heavenly Cripple Sword Venerable's arrival, ostensibly for a sword debate, was in reality a ploy to demoralize the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace; his true intentions were crystal clear.
The atmosphere in the arena instantly became extremely tense.
Immortal Venerable Yuxuan, his Sword Intent held back yet unleashed, calmly said:
"Since you have such an elegant interest, Senior, Yuxuan, will gladly oblige."
The ordinary disciples were unaware of their exchange.
All that is known is that these two renowned Sword Dao masters may truly be about to determine who is superior.
Han Xuanji also witnessed this scene.
"What a grand display!"
Han Xuanji muttered to himself.
He also had some idea of Heavenly Cripple Sword Venerable's purpose.
The other party seems quite confident; they're clearly aiming to humiliate Spirit Void Heavenly Palace.
Li Taiqing and the others couldn't help but ask:
"Master, aren't you going to go and take a look?"
"I can see it clearly right here. You can go outside and see for yourselves."
Han Xuanji responded casually.
At this level, determining victory or defeat is easy, but determining life or death is very difficult.
Although the Heavenly Cripple Sword Venerable was arrogant, he was not stupid. He knew that the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace had a profound foundation and could not be subdued by a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal like himself.
However, the rewards offered by the Demon Court were very tempting, promising him a great opportunity to become Daluo fortuitous opportunity. This mission was also a pledge of allegiance.
Coming here to discuss swordsmanship is unlikely to result in a life-or-death struggle; it's more of a test.
He really wanted to say that you probably wouldn't understand the duel between these two.
But considering their great fortune and exceptional comprehension, they might actually be useful.
"Yes."
The group quickly responded in unison, intending to go together to watch the Sword Dao duel between Taiyi Golden Immortal.
at this time.
The disciples gathered together, discussing the matter animatedly.
"It is said that this Heavenly Cripple Sword Venerable is not far from the Daluo Realm, and is known as the number one Sword Immortal below the Daluo realm."
"Ah? If that's the case, then doesn't the Chief have much of a chance of winning?"
"It's hard to say. The Chief's cultivation of the Daluo Sword Dao is no empty boast."
Even the disciples of the Sword Lineage were filled with worry.
As disciples of the Sword Lineage, they shared the same fate as Immortal Venerable Yuxuan, and naturally did not want to see Immortal Venerable Yuxuan suffer defeat.
Just as Han Xuanji had expected, the sword duel between the Heavenly Cripple Sword Venerable and the Immortal Venerable Yuxuan was not a grand or earth-shattering affair.
The two stood above the sea of clouds, using their fingers as swords and their intentions as weapons.
There was no clanging of metal, no surge of energy, only the silent collision and annihilation of two Sword Intent in the void.
But that level of confrontation is far more dangerous than any earth-shattering battle.
Most of the onlookers in the distance were confused.
However, as time went on, some powerful individuals gradually began to see some clues.
Immortal Venerable Yuxuan's Sword Intent was incomparably pure, and his True Intention of Ji Mie and slaughter had reached a state of perfection.
However, the Heavenly Cripple Sword Venerable had a longer cultivation period, and his Law Power was profound and his cultivation was in no way inferior, and even slightly surpassed that of the Immortal Venerable Yuxuan.
As one thing rises and the other falls, the distinction between superior and inferior gradually emerges.
After another intense clash of Sword Intent, a large portion of the sea of clouds was cleared away.
The Heavenly Cripple Sword Venerable stood with his fingers retracted, the sharp Sword Intent around him slowly receding, making him appear even more at ease. He slowly spoke:
"Fellow Xuandao's Sword Dao is profound; his Extreme Heaven Sword Dao leaves this old man in awe."
"However, if it were a life-or-death struggle, based on my cultivation, I should be able to defeat you within a hundred moves."
These words immediately caused an uproar among the crowd watching from afar.
The Heavenly Cripple Sword Venerable gave Immortal Venerable Yuxuan a deep look, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
He has achieved his goal and proven his strength, but he has also offended many Human Race forces.
But he doesn't regret it.
After all, that was Daluo fortuitous opportunity!
Just as the Heavenly Cripple Sword Venerable was pondering...
An invisible Sword Intent suddenly erupted in his heart.
The smile on Heavenly Cripple Sword Venerable's face suddenly froze.
In his perception, a vast, star-like Sword Dao intent, surpassing him, descended from the sky.
The other party didn't cause him any harm, but that was enough!
The Heavenly Cripple Sword Venerable felt a chill run through his soul, as if he were being stared at by an unimaginable, supreme being.
The surging Sword Intent within him froze instantly, and his confidence and arrogance vanished almost entirely in that one glance!
"This is... the Daluo Sword Intent? The Spirit Void Heavenly Palace... actually has a Daluo Sword Dao secretly monitoring this matter?"
The Heavenly Crippled Sword Master's heart was filled with shock, and he could hardly conceal his horror.
He knew that the Extreme Heaven Sword Ancestor was an elder of the Li Household, and that the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace did not have Sword Dao Daluo in charge on the surface, which was why he dared to come.
But that wisp of will just now was clearly the genuine pressure of Daluo- level Sword Dao!
My actions today have already attracted the attention of this being, and even... displeasure!
The thought of possibly offending a Grandmaster of Sword Dao Daluo instantly soaked Heavenly Cripple Sword Venerable's back with cold sweat.
Though he is strong, what difference is there between him and an ant before Daluo?
"Um?"
Immortal Venerable Yuxuan keenly sensed the abnormality of Heavenly Cripple Sword Venerable; the Sword Intent that instantly dissipated and the undisguised panic were definitely not feigned.
The elders of the Sword Lineage who noticed this scene exchanged bewildered glances.
