The dean's shock lingered long after Lin Xuan stepped into the Sword Pool.
He finally came to his senses, his eyes filled with complex emotions, and looked at Dongfang Muxue to the side, subconsciously wanting to ask something.
But the words were on the tip of his tongue, and he couldn't say them.
What are you saying?
Is it because Dongfang Muxue didn't explain things clearly earlier?
joke!
She had made it clear from the very beginning that she had invited a powerful figure to preach, but after seeing Lin Xuan in True Person, almost no one believed her anymore.
How can you blame anyone else?
Dongfang Muxue could certainly feel the dean's gaze on her, but she didn't intend to explain anything. She simply smiled faintly, remaining silent.
She knew from the moment Lin Xuan agreed to follow her into the Sword Pool that she didn't need to explain anything.
Lin Xuan's power will clear away all obstacles for her.
She also readily relinquished the precious opportunity to enter the Sword Pool.
Everything fell into place naturally.
It is only natural.
Inside the Sword Pool.
After stepping into the Sword Pool, Lin Xuan looked up and surveyed his surroundings.
Similar to what he saw outside, this Sword Pool was filled with terrifying Sword Qi, and everywhere he looked were ancient swords.
A wisp of red mist drifted by, and all the ancient swords in the Sword Pool emitted a buzzing, resonant sound. As far as the eye could see, the entire Sword Pool stretched out almost to the horizon.
The horizon stretched endlessly, metal clashing, roaring and deafening.
Various Sword Intent intertwined, and the mixed auras seemed to be a group of sword cultivators who still retained their consciousness, none of whom were willing to bow their heads or admit defeat, and they insisted on determining who was superior.
Lin Xuan could even sense that there were some remnants of Sword Intent within it, which were even comparable to the Sword Intent he had currently comprehended.
He couldn't help but click his tongue slightly.
Sure enough, over the millennia, among the countless experts and powerful figures of the Taiyu Divine Dynasty, there were always a few truly formidable ones.
Indeed, they have a profound foundation.
Based solely on what he sensed, there were at least a dozen Sword Intent within this place left behind by powerful figures from the Sword Domain.
The lowest level among the others is at least Half-Step Sword Domain.
There are strong people everywhere. Lin Xuan suppressed his surprise and walked step by step into the deeper part.
He had heard Sword Pool Dongfang Muxue on his way here.
This place was originally just a Sword-Washing Pool, but after a long period of change, it has become what it is today.
But it's not just the original Sword Sword-Washing Pool.
The area encompassed by the formation is much larger than the area occupied by the water in the Sword Pool.
As he walked along, he saw many distinctive objects around the pool.
Yes, it is a stone tablet.
The stone tablet is broken and incomplete, full of traces of corrosion from the years. On the mottled stone tablet are the words engraved by the sword cultivators who once came to this place.
A letter was submitted.
" Sword Ruins Chilian passed through this place and specially left One Sword so that future generations could comprehend my Dao, understand my Dao methods, and pass on my Dao intent."
Yes, it was a red ribbon, wrapped around a withered tree that had long since lost its vitality.
The withered tree that survived amidst countless Sword Intent did so not because of its strength, but because the red ribbon blocked all the Sword Qi for it.
On this red ribbon, delicate ink traces of plum blossom calligraphy are faintly visible.
" Bu Qingyi of the Heavenly Question Sect has come forward, leaving behind Sword Qi aura for future generations to comprehend."
Among the Sword Qi aura of the Sword Domain that Lin Xuan sensed, there was one from this red ribbon.
Leaving behind Sword Intent is not difficult.
The challenge lies in how to leave an extremely sharp Sword Qi on a soft ribbon, yet without tearing the ribbon itself.
Lin Xuan gazed at the red ribbons fluttering in the wind and sighed inwardly.
So strong!
I wonder if this senior is still alive.
However, as he looked at it, he realized something.
For millennia, it seems that only powerful figures from the Taiyu Divine Dynasty have been able to enter this Sword Pool.
Like myself, there are quite a few other powerful individuals who have entered this place through various means.
Many more powerful individuals left behind their Sword Intent.
Of course, countless Sword Qi were also left behind here by the powerful sword cultivators of the Taiyu Divine Dynasty.
At this moment, the Sword Qi left behind by the sword cultivators of the Taiyu Divine Dynasty, or the traces left by powerful beings from outside the realm, all surged up because of his arrival.
It was as if each of them was resounding with its own zither, vying for supremacy.
The Sword Qi clashed continuously, causing the entire Sword Pool to tremble, as if a sword contest was taking place.
Lin Xuan remained silent for a moment.
He stared at the overwhelming Sword Qi rushing towards him, as if he had triggered some mechanism, and with a flick of his wrist, he drew his sword.
Sword in hand.
We must fight for victory.
He closed his eyes slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in his half-closed eyes. The sword moved with his arm, the tip slowly rising, and then, as if a dragon were dancing lightly, he swung out One Sword!
The sword is drawn, and the light of heaven and earth shines forth.
In an instant, the violent Sword Qi in the entire Sword Pool dissipated completely.
The place was quiet and peaceful, as if there had never been any Sword Intent or Sword Qi here.
But Lin Xuan knew that this was all an illusion.
Over the years, the swords and Sword Qi here have long since developed sentience.
And those great beings who perished here, who passed away here.
It's both a remnant soul and a sword spirit.
How could it possibly be completely wiped out by One Sword strike?
There's only one possibility.
That is...
They deliberately suppressed the Sword Intent here.
Lin Xuan chuckled softly, sheathed his sword, and spoke to him from afar.
"My name is Lin Xuan, and I'm here to talk about swords."
I would greatly appreciate your valuable advice!
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
When the agreed-upon three-day period for exiting seclusion arrived, Lin Xuan successfully emerged from seclusion and stepped out of the Sword Pool.
Within these three days, the news that a mere Great Emperor cultivator was going to preach within the Great Cosmos Holy Academy had already spread far and wide.
This news was certainly not spread by Dongfang Muxue.
Although she wanted to spread the word, she didn't have enough influence within the Great Cosmos Holy Academy to make the news spread so quickly.
The dean also had to guard the sword formation and wait for Lin Xuan to come out before they could leave together, so naturally the dean didn't send a message.
The ones who truly spread the news were naturally the group of holy masters who were outside the teleportation array that day.
Their goal was certainly not to help Lin Xuan.
Rather, they wanted to see how this person planned to end things!
Three days passed, and many of the holy teachers continued to sneer.
"Heh... Sword Pool has been in seclusion for three days. I'd like to see what he's come up with during those three days, and what he can say about it!"
"Not bad, just a sword cultivator at the Great Emperor Realm, yet he dares to show off his limited skills in front of us."
"Heh heh heh... Since he intends to show off with his rudimentary Sword Dao, then we needn't hold back. Let him know what it means to be utterly humiliated!"
"He should have emerged from seclusion by now, right?"
During their conversation, the several holy masters calculated the time and were filled with a strong desire to watch the show.
"Let's go! We'll all go too, to see this Great Emperor!"
