Seven Swords?
The atmosphere around them had been relatively relaxed, but i Qingzhu’s words plunged it into montary silence.
Li Fan, Seven Swords resonating?
Was Li Fan joking, or was i Qingzhu?
However, when they saw i Qingzhu’s expression, they realized it was no joke.
"He inquired of Seven Swords?" Soone still found it hard to believe and asked i Qingzhu again.
i Qingzhu chuckled, too lazy to explain.
What was there to question about what he said?
Could it be that he collaborated with that Zuo Tu to toy with Ying Ze for amusent? He was far from so bored.
The crowd understood that i Qingzhu was serious. Zuo Tu had created history.
Still, they thought it surreal. How had Li Fan managed to make Seven Swords resonate?
Ke Junlin frowned deeply. He had inquired of Four Swords, the sa as Ying Ze, who ranked first on the Green Cloud List. Four Swords resonating was considered excellent—but Li Fan had unleashed Seven Swords.
He recalled his master’s words, reminding him to be cautious of Li Fan.
Li Mountain.
This Li Mountain disciple had co to the Xuanyuan Sword Dojo and remained as dazzling and brilliant as ever.
Li Mountain had long been in decline. Was this next generation of Sword Cultivators from Li Mountain still seeking to suppress the sword prodigies under heaven?
*Ke Junlin couldn’t reconcile it in his heart.*
When they entered the Secret Realm, he would certainly challenge Li Fan there.
If Li Fan claid the destiny of Sword Dao beneath heaven, then Ke Junlin would seize that destiny from Li Fan’s hands.
Among the crowd, the only one not surprised was Lu Yuan, who stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Li Fan.
Everything was as it should be.
She had not even bothered to ask Li Fan, nor had she shown the slightest expression of surprise.
Li Mountain’s Sword Son descended the mountain. Without Seven Swords, how could he suppress the prodigies of Sword Dao under heaven?
"These Sword Scriptures are reportedly derived from the Secret Realm. Those who enter leave behind manuscripts of what they’ve cultivated there—thods for nurturing swords, refining swords, and wielding swords."
Lu Yuhuan spoke softly as she recounted various legends about the Xuanyuan Sword Dojo.
And legends about the Secret Realm tied to the Xuanyuan Sword Dojo.
She even believed the stories linking the Secret Realm to Immortals weren’t re fabrications but were true.
"The elder Xuanyuan Sword imprinted the Sword Scriptures here, allowing the Sword Cultivators who ca here to study them. Truly, he upheld the magnanimity befitting Da Li Swordsmanship’s foremost figure." A mber from Lu Yuhuan’s side added, ntioning Xuanyuan Sword—a na universally revered.
"Each of you, record a copy." Lu Yuhuan instructed.
"Understood." Everyone nodded. Such rare opportunities couldn’t be missed. Since Xuanyuan Sword had placed the Sword Scriptures here, it ant permission for them to record and use them for cultivation.
In this way, the Lu Family’s nurical advantage in the venue beca evident.
"How did you do it?" At this mont, a figure approached Li Fan and asked by his side. It was none other than Duan Feiyu, ranked second on the Green Cloud List.
"Not too difficult." Li Fan replied.
Duan Feiyu: "?"
*Was this guy doing it on purpose?*
He had battled Ying Ze, and ultimately, only managed to make Three Swords resonate.
*Seven Swords weren’t difficult?*
"I just did it." Li Fan showed little concern.
*People thought he was arrogant, but he wasn’t truly arrogant. He simply understood his role clearly. As the Li Mountain Sword Master, he had to beco the best swordsman under heaven. He had no choice.*
*However, he also knew he was still young, with a shallow cultivation realm. No matter how high his talent for Sword Dao might be, that talent hadn’t yet been realized.*
*Until his talent was fulfilled, he was rely a Foundation Establishnt Early Stage Sword Cultivator.*
"That’s right. Everyone has different talents; effort can’t change everything. Resonating with however many swords one can inquire is their limit. But to think, after so many years, soone finally completed the Seven Inquiries here in Chi Xiao City." Duan Feiyu remarked: "Perhaps you even have the potential to beco the inner disciple of the greatest Sword Cultivator under heaven. If that happens, then those disciples of the Shadow Bearing Sword Master’s lineage might—"
As he spoke, he glanced towards Ying Ze and Ren Yuzhi’s direction, his gaze tinged with a trace of mocking laughter.
These people, full of conceit, had entered the Shadow Bearing Sword Sect for cultivation yet acted high and mighty.
Cang Yunxuan had even tried stopping Li Fan from entering the Shadow Bearing Sword Arena.
If Li Fan were to join Xuanyuan Sword’s lineage, now that would be interesting.
"I have a sect." Li Fan responded.
"I’ve heard—you’re from a hidden sect?" Duan Feiyu asked: "That’s a pity."
Joining the lineage of the greatest Sword Cultivator under heaven was an extrely rare opportunity.
Ying Ze and Ren Yuzhi coldly swept their gaze across Duan Feiyu.
"Who you apprentice under doesn’t matter; what matters is your Sword Dao." Li Fan retorted, "If your Sword Dao is only about bullying those weaker in cultivation than yourself, then no matter whose lineage you join, how much can you truly accomplish?"
"Moreover, trying to bully but failing..."
Duan Feiyu paused for a mont, then laughed. This Zuo Tu was truly sothing.
This remark nearly pointed fingers directly at Ren Yuzhi.
Previously, Ren Yuzhi had tried to intimidate Lu Yuan as a ans to deal with him.
But in the end, Ren Yuzhi failed to defeat Lu Yuan—and during Sword Inquiry, Lu Yuan had suppressed him. That battle fizzled out inconclusively.
However, Li Fan clearly hadn’t forgotten.
Ren Yuzhi’s eyes flashed with sharp intent as he stared at Li Fan’s back and said, "If you hadn’t avoided battle, why would I have gone after her?"
"You think you’re worth avoiding battle?" Li Fan turned to face Ren Yuzhi and said, "How many swords did you inquire? For to avoid battle with you?"
Ren Yuzhi: "..."
He had inquired Three Swords.
*Three Swords, in comparison to Seven Swords, weren’t sothing to brag about.*
*Li Fan’s words were rubbing his pride against the ground.*
"You couldn’t win against her, so where does your confidence co from that you can defeat ?" Li Fan continued, "The so-called fastest sword on the Green Cloud List? Your swordsmanship doesn’t seem that fast to . If I possessed your cultivation realm, I wouldn’t dare boast of being the fastest sword."
*The people of Chi Xiao City called him arrogant, but was he truly arrogant?*
*The others—weren’t they pretending to be proud, too?*
*Li Fan didn’t think much of the so-called fastest sword.*
*What gave it strength was the wielder’s cultivation level and the Sky Splitting Sword Intent—the wielder’s understanding of Wind Attribute Sword Dao.*
"Do you want to test it out?"
Ren Yuzhi, ranked third on the Green Cloud List and widely acclaid as the fastest sword, couldn’t stomach Li Fan’s humiliation.
"How many swords did you inquire—to test against ?" Li Fan shot back.
"You..." Sword Aura surged around Ren Yuzhi, drawing everyone’s gaze, leaving them speechless.
*Zuo Tu’s insults were truly extraordinary.*
*Just that one line: How many swords did you inquire?*
*How was anyone supposed to respond to that?*
*Among everyone present, who could even handle that question?*
"They call reckless in Chi Xiao City, but the people I defeat all have cultivation realms above mine. I don’t challenge Soul Ergence Realm cultivators—I wouldn’t disgrace myself like that. People who think so highly of themselves should be fighting Cang Yunxuan or i Qingzhu, not fixating on ."
Li Fan declared, "If I were at your cultivation level, you’d understand what the fastest sword truly ans."
*Though Li Fan spoke in a brazen tone, others now couldn’t help but contemplate. At his Foundation Establishnt Early Stage realm, if he advanced to Late Stage Foundation Establishnt, would Ren Yuzhi or Ying Ze still be able to compete with him?*
New arrivals continued streaming into the square, all individuals who’d successfully inquired at least one sword.
Upon arriving, their gaze invariably landed on Li Fan first.
Li Fan ceased engaging in argunts with Ren Yuzhi; verbal disputes were aningless.
*He hadn’t forgotten Ren Yuzhi’s attempt to intimidate Lu Yuan. That unresolved score lingered in his mind.*
*This trip into the Secret Realm—would it bring him opportunities to consolidate his cultivation and advance to the Middle Stage Foundation Establishnt Realm?*
*If he entered the Middle Stage Foundation Establishnt Realm, then battling Ren Yuzhi and Ying Ze presumably wouldn’t be difficult.*
*Previously, he’d fought Han Zhong, who ranked seventh, gaining an understanding of the seventh-ranked strength. But Ying Ze and Ren Yuzhi were undoubtedly far stronger than Han Zhong.*
*At his current cultivation realm, it would still be sowhat challenging.*
Ti passed, and more people gathered in the square. The area grew increasingly lively as attendees wandered alone or in groups, studied the Sword Scriptures, and chatted.
By nightfall, many sat cross-legged to ditate and cultivate.
Outside, the Sword Inquiries continued until the next day. Finally, no more arrivals ca to the square.
Whether they were from Chi Xiao City or outside factions, almost everyone who should’ve arrived was now in attendance.
An elderly cultivator appeared, floating in the sky atop a Flying Sword. He gazed over the crowd and said, "Follow by Sword Control."
With that, he flew on his sword, the crowd following suit, each stepping onto their Flying Swords to trail him into the deeper regions of the Xuanyuan Sword Dojo.
Li Fan also took to Sword Control, pondering how vast the Xuanyuan Sword Dojo must be if traversing it required flying.
Sword Aura whistled through the air as a mighty procession of sword cultivators soared toward the depths.
Excitent glimred in many eyes, while others grew increasingly alert.
*Though the Secret Realm promised great opportunities, it was by no ans overflowing with fortune. Rather, it was a dangerous place.*
*Each year, plenty of entrants perished within, so cultivators typically waited until they’d reached Late Stage Foundation Establishnt for a greater chance of success.*
Up ahead, a towering sword ca into view. Li Fan locked his gaze on it, sensing an overwhelming pressure radiating from the weapon.
*The colossal sword seed to have descended straight from the heavens, stabbing deep into the earth and uniting the heavens and the earth around it. A wondrous Sword Domain had ford in its vicinity.*
The elderly cultivator led the group to a spot not far from the giant sword.
"We’re here," Lu Yuhuan spoke softly. Li Fan fixed his sights on the massive blade—this was the entrance to the Secret Realm?
Surrounding the sword was flowing Sword Intent that enveloped an expansive area. At its very heart, in the middle of the giant blade, seed to be a Sword Gate.
"This sword is the gateway to the Secret Realm. They say it leads to the Immortal’s place of cultivation," Lu Yuhuan whispered.
"Has anyone ever seen Immortals in this world?" Li Fan murmured quietly.
"No one knows." Lu Yuhuan responded, "But based on so ancient legends, Immortals should indeed exist. There’s speculation that the Secret Realm is tied to a Sword Immortal."
