at the same time.
Sword Ruins.
The numerous Sword Tomb is not only a great place for training and treasure hunting, but also a good place to find a secluded retreat for cultivation.
At this moment, in this Sword Tomb that had long been cleared out and was extremely hidden, two beautiful figures, one in white and one in yellow, held swords and were fighting with swordsmanship, drawing on the Spiritual Power of heaven and earth.
The pale white sword marks, like emerald waves on water, swept across the air, leaving behind a damp mist, yet in the next moment, they revealed the sharpness and ferocity of the sword marks.
Sword Qi Sword Qi intertwined, forming a fine, dense net that spread throughout the entire Sword Tomb.
Unending and ever-renewing.
The two swordsmen were Su Lianxin and Lin Ling.
But besides the two of them, there was also a phantom figure standing to the side.
That was one of the Great Saint of the Vast Sea Saint Dynasty who had chosen Su Lianxin as his preacher in the Vast Sea Secret Realm, but Su Lianxin refused and eventually followed Lin Ling out with the two women.
certainly.
The events of yesteryear have vanished like smoke in the wind.
Now, he is nothing more than a tiny, insignificant remnant soul.
They have no fighting ability whatsoever, and are incapable of fighting against others.
Even so, the knowledge he possessed and his understanding of Sword Dao were absolutely astonishing.
Su Lianxin and Lin Ling, both only in their twenties, were completely outmatched in their understanding of Sword Dao.
Great Saint Goumang of the Vast Sea Saint King, whose real name was Qiaoda Shi, had a distinguished record in the past. He served by the Saint King's side and made unparalleled contributions in battle.
However, with the dissipation of the Vast Sea Saint Dynasty, he was left with only a remnant soul. With the determination to leave behind his legacy, he suppressed all his spiritual pressure, lived a meager existence, and preserved his intelligence.
And now...
Great Saint Goumang witnessed the two women's progress once again, even though their forms were already incredibly ethereal, his eyes and brows showed only satisfaction.
Despite being Great Saint of the Vast Sea Saint King and being known as the Left and Right Protectors alongside that old fellow of the Chongming Bird Clan, and possessing terrifying Sword Dao, he was still deeply shocked by the talents of Su Lianxin and Lin Ling.
rare.
rare!
That's really rare.
If he weren't currently conserving his Spiritual Power and unable to use it recklessly, he would love to unleash his full potential in swordsmanship.
This was far beyond his expectations, and it made him extremely satisfied from the bottom of his heart.
In just a few months since they left the Vast Sea Secret Realm, one of these two girls has already reached the peak of the Ninth-Level Sword Intent perfection, and the other has reached the eighth level, making remarkable progress.
The two men's understanding of and compatibility with the way of Sword Dao is unparalleled in the world.
This made the Great Saint Goumang even more eager to try it.
--Why won't this little girl, who's about to master the Sword Domain, become an apprentice?
Several months passed, and he had thought that no matter what, perseverance would eventually wear down the stone.
But to everyone's surprise, Su Lianxin remained as stubborn as an unyielding rock.
Even though she had reached the Thearch Realm Third Layer with her own help, and was only one step away from becoming Great Emperor, she still did not give up.
When asked, she only answered with one sentence.
"I already have a master, so I hope you will forgive me, senior. I will never forget your help today and will repay you with the utmost gratitude in the future."
These words left Great Saint Goumang utterly helpless.
He didn't need this little girl to repay him.
Moreover, my days are numbered, and I simply cannot stay in the Eastern Continent for long. I only hope to have a disciple who suits my taste in my final days.
This was his only wish.
If he could have two disciples with such monstrous talent as Su Lianxin and Lin Ling, he would die without regret, even if it meant his immediate demise.
Unfortunately...
Why!
Despite thinking this, Great Saint Goumang did not force Su Lianxin.
He couldn't bring himself to threaten a little girl with his own death.
Staring blankly at the two women practicing their swordsmanship, the Great Saint Goumang's smile never faded, but looking at that figure as graceful as a swimming dragon, he couldn't help but be a little lost in thought.
If asked who the most talented person he had ever met in his life was, he would answer that there was only one.
Su Lianxin's talent is indeed remarkable.
In fact, his talent in Sword Dao may very well surpass that of the person he had in mind.
But in his heart, the only person who could be considered the best in the world was that person.
That was the Vast Sea Saint King.
That is a wound that can never be erased from the hearts of him and all the people of the Vast Sea Saint Dynasty.
Even now, a trace of his soul still remains.
But what about his king?
Is the Saint King still alive?
No...
That's going to be very difficult.
Once upon a time, such a glorious and splendid dynasty fell.
If the Saint King were still alive, he would never have stood idly by while his people were left to fend for themselves.
But...
For some reason, the Great Saint Goumang always felt that the Saint King would not die.
Such a stunning and extraordinary person would never perish silently because of a mere ugly demon.
" A-Ling, you flatter me."
While the Great Saint Goumang, the two women beside him had already decided the winner.
The winner was naturally Su Lianxin.
She sheathed her sword, a smile playing on her lips. She wiped the thin layer of sweat from her face, looked at Lin Ling opposite her with genuine joy in her eyes, and spoke with a smile.
"If this continues for a while, I believe you will be able to break through to the Ninth-Level Sword Intent."
"I wonder which of us will be the first to forge Sword Domain."
Although she was a step ahead of Lin Ling in terms of Sword Intent development, the Sword Domain valued fortuitous opportunity.
Some people are stuck at the peak of the ninth level and may never be able to step into the Sword Domain in their entire lives.
However, some people may have just touched the threshold of the ninth level of peak Sword Intent, and then naturally followed up by knocking on the door of the Sword Domain.
Everything depends on fortuitous opportunity.
Lin Ling was slightly out of breath.
She carefully put away her sword, and upon hearing Su Lianxin's words, shook her head helplessly.
"You silly girl, what are you saying..."
"Between the two of us, it should be you."
As she spoke, she added with a hint of envy, "I really don't know just how terrifying your talent is, or who your master is. Even with such a teaching from your master, I still can't catch up to you."
No matter what, Lin Ling was still a disciple of Great Saint Goumang.
What he taught Lin Ling was the essence of his knowledge accumulated over thousands of years.
It also possesses a closely guarded secret.
Su Lianxin, on the other hand, received relatively less guidance.
This is not because the Great Saint Goumang is biased.
Rather, it's because some traditions or Cultivation Method, once learned, make one a successor.
Even if he wanted Su Lianxin to learn it, Su Lianxin would absolutely never accept it.
Upon hearing this, Su Lianxin simply smiled and remained silent.
But deep within her eyes, there glimmers of starlight.
Her master was naturally unmatched, both in heaven and on earth.
and...
Su Lianxin slightly, looking at Lin Ling, her eyes filled with a touch of emotion and a soft sigh.
She shook her head almost imperceptibly.
I'm afraid I've been missing my master too much lately.
That's why you can always see your master's shadow on Lin Ling's face.
