Chapter 1636: Chapter 1733: Wooden Sword
“Forcing to unleash the Ninth Sword—so what?” the Heaven King of the East Pole said in a deep voice.
The young man shook his head. “If I unleash the Ninth Sword, you might die, and most of the people in Tang Capital probably won’t survive either. Are you really willing to see such a thing happen?”
The Heaven King of the East Pole was startled, but he didn’t fully believe the young man’s words.
The young man rely smiled slightly, his finger lightly tapping the sword box behind him.
Boom!!!!!
The entire sky seed to be split in two, a clear rift erging between the young man and the Heaven King of the East Pole.
The Heaven King of the East Pole’s pupils shrank as his heart involuntarily raced.
Before the sword was even drawn, its Sword Qi had already torn through the heavens!
“Do you still want to continue?” the young man said with a smile. The Ninth Sword still hadn’t been unleashed—rely a hint of Sword Qi had created this terrifying spectacle.
The sight of the heavens torn in two left everyone in Tang Capital shocked. Even the Long-lived Ones couldn’t fathom such a scene.
“Could he truly be invincible in this era?” soone muttered tremulously.
“Whether he’s invincible or not, I don’t know, but in the realm of the Sword Tao, no one can compare,” said a martial artist with high cultivation, his words tinged with complexity.
“Having such a mighty force in the Sealing Sword Pavilion, along with countless Sword Heads and ancient legendary swords—it’s far too formidable.”
“I originally thought the Sky Swallowing Palace was the strongest power today, but now it seems the Sealing Sword Pavilion’s foundation is even deeper.”
“So many years of silence, and now that the Sealing Sword Pavilion has risen, it’s overwhelmingly terrifying.”
····
Facing the young man’s impending Ninth Sword, the Heaven King of the East Pole was gripped by profound unease. He did not doubt that if the Ninth Sword were truly unleashed, it would lead to an enormously catastrophic disaster.
As for himself, he would likely be unable to stop the Ninth Sword—just the Sword Qi emanating from it was already a trendous pressure for him.
Even though the Heaven King of the East Pole possessed his own trump card, he wasn’t sure whether it would be effective.
Years ago, when battling the Pavilion Master of the Sealing Sword Pavilion, the Heaven King of the East Pole had lost—but not badly, rely a defeat by one move and half a technique.
Yet now, facing them once again, the Heaven King of the East Pole found that the gap between them had not narrowed—it had widened.
Seeing no reaction from the Heaven King of the East Pole, the young man understood that his opponent had lost the will to fight further. Smiling gently, he refrained from mocking the Heaven King and returned five legendary swords to the sword box.
“I’m taking the person I want. If I’m interested soday, I’ll co to spar with you again. By then, I hope you’re worthy of using the Ninth Sword.” The young man said, giving the Heaven King of the East Pole a deep glance before turning to leave, his figure drifting gracefully away.
The Heaven King of the East Pole did not attempt to stop him. He knew that he couldn’t restrain this man—even if all the martial artists of Tang Capital risked their lives and ca forth in full force, they wouldn’t be able to stop him either.
What use is there in numbers? Wouldn’t they all just be slain with a single sword?
But though the Heaven King of the East Pole didn’t obstruct the young man, he imdiately relayed what had happened to the Sky Swallowing Palace.
Both the Pill Alliance and the Long Family had secret thods to communicate with the Sky Swallowing Palace, though they rarely used them, due to their deep fear of the palace.
However, with Fang Lin forcibly taken away by the Sealing Sword Pavilion, this matter had to be reported to the Sky Swallowing Palace.

In the Extre North Land, the Silver Fox strode into the great hall, her face suffused with gravitas.
“The Pavilion Master of the Sealing Sword Pavilion has appeared in Tang Capital with the Eight Long-lived Ones, forcibly taking Fang Lin, and is currently returning to the western plateau,” the Silver Fox said gravely.
Dugu Nian opened her eyes, her face cloaked in a chilling murderous aura.
“Everyone, hear my command! Move out with !” Dugu Nian ordered and imdiately prepared to lead all the master martial artists of the Sky Swallowing Palace to intercept the Sealing Sword Pavilion’s forces and rescue Fang Lin.
Just then, an anomaly occurred outside the Sky Swallowing Palace—a white-haired middle-aged man stood amid the icy and snowy terrain, holding a wooden sword and channeling his Sword Qi to strike directly at the palace.
Dugu Nian deflected the blow with a wave of her hand, sensing the man’s cultivation level.
“Immortal!” Dugu Nian’s expression darkened. An Immortal-level swordsman had co at this mont—it was certainly no coincidence. A brief contemplation revealed the truth: the swordsman was undoubtedly from the Sealing Sword Pavilion, coming to stall her and her forces, preventing them from rescuing Fang Lin in ti.
“Courting death!” Dugu Nian’s anger surged, her figure flashing as she appeared outside the palace. Scarlet threads unfurled endlessly like a celestial net, enveloping the white-haired middle-aged man.
The white-haired middle-aged man didn’t resist head-on—his wooden sword danced, and boundless Sword Qi spread in all directions, severing the scarlet threads whenever they touched.
Buzz!
A lody sounded as Dugu Nian did not hold back, imdiately unleashing the Sky Zither Three Moves.
The white-haired middle-aged man frowned, seemingly wary of Dugu Nian’s mastery of the Tao of the Zither, and chose to withdraw.
After all, he hadn’t co to engage in a decisive battle with the Hall Master of the Sky Swallowing Palace but to stall her and the palace’s elite warriors, preventing their interference with the Sealing Sword Pavilion’s mission.
As long as Fang Lin was brought to the Sealing Sword Pavilion, the white-haired middle-aged man’s task would be complete.
Dugu Nian understood this. The man was rely here to buy ti—but an Immortal-level cultivation made him exceedingly difficult to deal with. If he was determined to avoid true confrontation, even Dugu Nian found it hard to quickly resolve the situation.
Four figures appeared: the Dragon Mask Man, Lion Mask Man, Snake Head Masked Man, and Phoenix Head Masked Man.
These four were the strongest warriors of the Sky Swallowing Palace aside from Dugu Nian, each possessing Half-step Immortal cultivation. Together, they joined the battle to aid Dugu Nian in swiftly eliminating the white-haired middle-aged man.

anwhile, Fang Lin, escorted westward by the Eight Swordsn, could easily guess their destination—the Sealing Sword Pavilion.
“Hey, hey, if you’re inviting to the Sealing Sword Pavilion as a guest, shouldn’t you at least explain the reason?” Fang Lin said, his tone surprisingly calm.
The Eight Swordsn paid him no heed, acting as if they hadn’t heard.
Huang Hanqing, carrying Xu Yanbing, smiled at Fang Lin. “Relax. Inviting you to the Sealing Sword Pavilion is simply to collaborate in refining a special type of pill. Once the task is complete, you’ll naturally be allowed to leave safely—we won’t harm you in the slightest.”
Fang Lin showed a hint of curiosity. “You’re a Pill Refiner of the Seven Cauldrons. Is there a pill you can’t refine?”
Huang Hanqing chuckled. “Have you heard of the Transcendental Elixir?”
Fang Lin’s heart jolted inwardly, though his expression remained impassive.
Ps: First update—uncertain how many updates there’ll be today; it depends on ti and mood. After all, it’s the first day of the Lunar New Year, and I’ll be heading to the temple to pray. Slept too late last night—barely watched the Spring Festival Gala, left the TV on as background noise.
