Inside the loft's main hall.
"Ha ha ha! This old monk has lost." Master Yuanjue rose to his feet, pressed his palms together toward Qin Shujian, and spoke.
He seemed to take victory and defeat lightly, not dwelling on it in the slightest.
He had not displayed his strongest Buddhist divine abilities, merely revealing his Sword Dao Cultivation. If they truly fought, the outcome would still be uncertain.
Qin Shujian likewise withdrew his aura and returned to his refined, easygoing manner. With a cupped fist salute, he said:
"Master Yuanjue, you let me win. Your Wisdom Sword divine ability is something Qin has never seen before despite cultivating the sword all these years. You must have only mastered it recently, correct?"
"If we had both entered the realm of Clear Sword Heart, at most we would have fought to a draw."
Master Yuanjue slowly shook his head.
"A loss is a loss. Fellow Daoist Qin's Clear Sword Heart can actually foresee the future for a brief moment and strike directly at flaws. This old monk's defeat was not undeserved."
At Master Yuanjue's words, everyone was even more astonished.
The path of sword cultivators was indeed razor-sharp and formidable.
They had all heard, more or less, of this sword cultivator from Jade Void Palace, yet none had expected his strength to be so terrifying.
After all, Master Yuanjue's cultivation strength ranked among the very best within Mount Sumeru.
Moreover, as one of the three great powers of the Heavenly Brahma Domain, Mount Sumeru was considerably stronger overall than Jade Void Palace, which was likewise a Body Integration Sect.
This was enough to show that Qin Shujian's attainments in the Sword Dao were anything but ordinary, for he had actually defeated Master Yuanjue.
Nor had anyone expected it.
