The usually desolate Ten Thousand Mountains suddenly beca bustling.
Forces and Martial Artists from various parts of the Nine Countries Seven Seas flocked to the Ten Thousand Mountains, making this once quiet place exceptionally lively.
The reason, of course, was that the Sealing Sword Pavilion was hosting a new Sword Head evaluation here, widely inviting heroes from all over the world to gather at the Ten Thousand Mountains.
In response to the Sealing Sword Pavilion’s invitation, many forces from the Nine Countries Seven Seas responded, with only a few refusing or not responding; the vast majority would attend this Sword Head evaluation.
The Sealing Sword Pavilion made earnest efforts to host this event, not only dispatching experts to drive away many fierce Evil Beasts from the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountains but also setting down nurous arrays to protect the safety of the attendees.
The location of the Sword Head evaluation was on a peak with its top sheared off, making the entire mountain peak exceptionally flat, as if it had been sliced by a sword.
A month before the Sword Head evaluation officially began, various forces started making their way to the Ten Thousand Mountains, with the three sects of the Seven Seas setting off early due to the long journey.
To prevent conflicts between the three sects and the Nine Countries, the Sealing Sword Pavilion issued a strict warning that forces from the three sects were not to disturb any of the Nine Countries while passing through, and the Nine Countries were also not to create difficulties for the three sects.
In response to the warning from the Sealing Sword Pavilion, almost no force among the Nine Countries Seven Seas dared to ignore it, since the power of the Sealing Sword Pavilion was clear for all to see, and anyone who provoked them would suffer severe consequences.
Of course, despite the warning, the long-standing conflicts between the Nine Countries and the Seven Seas could not simply be ignored. Even though the forces of the three sects were journeying from afar to attend the Sword Head evaluation, the Nine Countries dared not act openly against them but certainly plotted in secret.
In fact, when the first group of three sect forces from the Seven Seas arrived at the Nine Countries on their way to the Ten Thousand Mountains for the Sword Head evaluation, the Nine Countries secretly sent people to intercept them. However, a master from the Sword Tao appeared out of nowhere and instantly killed those who had tried to hinder the three sects.
Upon realizing this, the Nine Countries understood that the Sealing Sword Pavilion had already made arrangents to welco the three sect forces, and any attempts to hinder them would risk angering the Sealing Sword Pavilion.
Similarly, with the constraints of the Sealing Sword Pavilion and being in a foreign land, the forces of the three sects did not dare cause any trouble and behaved exceedingly well.

This ti, the Sword Head evaluation hosted by the Sealing Sword Pavilion was sowhat different from in the past. Besides those invited by the Sealing Sword Pavilion, any swordsman wishing to participate could co on their own accord; the Sealing Sword Pavilion would not refuse anyone, offering everyone a chance.
As a result, swordsn who were not invited were eager to set off for the Ten Thousand Mountains, hoping to make a na for themselves in the Sword Head evaluation.
In such a vast world, there are countless Martial Artists and even more who wield swords. Among them, hidden talents surely exist, constrained by birth or status, and remain unknown. The Sealing Sword Pavilion provides an opportunity for every swordsman to showcase their skills, irrespective of birth or status.
This approach by the Sealing Sword Pavilion was not well received by many invited factions.
There are so many swordsn in the world, but true mastery of the sword is often found within major sects, families, and powers. What future do Independent Sword Cultivators have? They lack ntors and resources, let alone Sword Manuals and sword techniques.
Even those with extraordinary talent, without proper nurturing, would gradually fade into obscurity.

One by one, Flying Boats soared through the sky, each bearing flags indicating their origins.
The size and scale of these dozen or so Flying Boats varied, and the flags were diverse, obviously from different factions.
Among them, one Flying Boat was entirely crimson, the largest among these flying vessels, with a golden flag bearing the image of a True Dragon holding a Longsword, exuding a mighty aura that instilled awe at a glance.
The other Flying Boats kept a distance from this crimson one, showing so wariness, while this crimson Flying Boat was particularly arrogant, charging straight through without regard for any vessels in its path.
Such behavior naturally angered the other factions, but they did not dare do much more than silently steer their Flying Boats aside, to avoid clashing head-on with the crimson vessel.
Joking aside, in terms of size, no other Flying Boat could withstand a collision with it, and the people aboard were enough to strike fear into the hearts of others.
The Golden Dragon Holding Sword flag was the symbol of the Haoran Sword Sect, Tang Country’s foremost Sword Tao sect, signifying that this Flying Boat was from the Haoran Sword Sect.
In terms of Sword Tao, even across the Nine Countries, the Haoran Sword Sect ranked among the top five, and it boasted a family known for sword forging. Today’s renowned swords "Phoenix Pond" and "Heavenly Splendor" in the Nine Countries were both crafted by the Haoran Sword Sect.
The greatest pride of the Haoran Sword Sect was that a swordsman reached the sixth place on the Sword Head List published by the Sealing Sword Pavilion a thousand years ago.
As a result, the Haoran Sword Sect’s reputation grew, securing its top position in Tang Country’s sword sects.
"The Haoran Sword Sect is truly arrogant; they could fly through open spaces, yet they squeeze through us just to show off," grumbled the people on the Flying Boats pushed aside by the crimson vessel.
A green-robed elder stood leaning on a sword atop the Haoran Sword Sect’s Flying Boat, with nurous figures behind him, mostly young people, with only a handful of older ones.
"These minor sects and factions dare to join the hustle and bustle; it’s as if they aren’t afraid of disgrace. Why did the Sealing Sword Pavilion invite so many people anyway?" said a handso young man beside the green-robed elder, his words tinged with arrogance.
The green-robed elder smiled slightly, "It’s only natural for the Sealing Sword Pavilion, a dominion in its own right, to make this Sword Head evaluation grand. We all know very well that most sects and forces are just here to make up the numbers. The truly formidable swordsn are from our Haoran Sword Sect and a few other great Sword Tao sects,"
"What the Sect Master says is very true," everyone laughed.
At this mont, not far ahead of the Haoran Sword Sect’s Flying Boat, another Flying Boat appeared, significantly smaller in scale.
"Heh, another blind one, daring to block our way," grinned the young man.
