162: Welcome the Sword God down the mountain!

Cang Mountain was dilapidated and desolate, with withered branches and dried-up wild grass.

In the Sword Domain, Cang Mountain was extremely inconspicuous, like a dead land.

But Cang Mountain was the recognized Holy Land of the Dao of Sword in the Sword Domain!

Because there was a hut on the mountain, and in the hut lived an old man named Tai'a.

He was once the top ranker on the Immortal King Ranking of the Immortal Realm.

He was also the foremost person in the Sword Domain after the Sword Master left the Sword Domain.

Thus, Cang Mountain became very famous, the foremost Immortal Mountain in the Sword Domain, and a place of pilgrimage for countless Sword Cultivators in the Sword Domain.

Below Cang Mountain, there were always over tens of thousands of Geniuses from the Sword Domain cultivating at the foot of the mountain.

It was well-known that Tai'a Sword God had been sitting in the Cang Mountain Sword Hut for over a million years, never stepping out.

Countless Sword Cultivators traversed thousands of mountains and rivers, coming from afar, just to take a handful of earth from Cang Mountain and feel the Qi of Tai'a, the greatest Sword God.

Tai'a Sword God possessed a Wisdom Eye; he did not inquire about wealth or poverty, or background. Anyone destined for the sword could become his Disciple.

In fact, many Geniuses with extraordinary talent in the Dao of Sword did receive Tai'a's favor and were taken as Disciples.

Anyone who had the chance to be accepted as a personal Disciple by Tai'a Sword God would, at the very least, become an Immortal King in the future!

This was Tai'a Sword God.

An existence of high moral standing, possessing a peerless Sword Heart.

And today, in the sky, the Dao of Sword transformed into a Milky Way, spanning the Celestial Court, radiating boundless Sword Intent.

On Cang Mountain.

An old man wearing a tattered gray robe, with the collar and cuffs worn to expose the cotton batting, and a hemp rope casually tied around his waist, slowly walked down from the dilapidated thatched hut on Cang Mountain.

On his feet were a pair of shiny, worn-out straw sandals, with the toes somewhat askew.

His thick-knuckled fingers held a tattered wooden sword, its blade mottled and uneven, stained with many grass clippings, looking as if it hadn't been used in a long time.

The old man's fingernails were also filled with dirt, giving people the illusion of a slovenly person, like someone who picked up trash.

It was such an inconspicuous and slovenly old man who slowly walked down Cang Mountain.

Below Cang Mountain, the Geniuses of the Sword Domain, who were originally excited because the Dao of Sword spanned the sky and shone brightly in the world, suddenly saw the old man slowly walking on the small path of Cang Mountain.

The entire scene suddenly fell silent.

All the clamor in heaven and earth disappeared in an instant.

Countless gazes simultaneously turned to the small path of Cang Mountain.

Astonishment, surprise, shock...

One by one, the Geniuses of the Sword Domain, at this moment, gaped, looking at the old man, their heartbeats accelerating to the extreme.

Oh my God!

What did they see?

Tai'a Sword God had descended the mountain!

A million years, a full million years!

No one knew how Tai'a Sword God had spent these years.

Why would Tai'a Sword God descend the mountain?

Even when the Sword Domain collapsed in the Tian Yuan Battlefield and great devils invaded, Tai'a Sword God never took a single step out of Cang Mountain!

Even when the Sword Master burst forth, Tai'a Sword God merely sat and discussed the Dao with the Sword Master on Cang Mountain.

And today, the Dao of Sword roared, manifesting in the world.

A Peerless Sword God who had been sitting in the Cang Mountain Sword Hut for a million years, at this moment, walked down Cang Mountain!

They were only stunned for a moment.

"Welcome, Sword God, to descend the mountain!"

"Welcome, Sword God, to descend the mountain!"

"..."

All the Sword Cultivators below Cang Mountain, without the slightest hesitation, knelt down uniformly!

At the same time, loud and clear voices resounded throughout heaven and earth!

At this moment of the Dao of Sword's manifestation.

Tai'a Sword God's descent from the mountain surely meant something major was about to happen!

This conjecture made countless Sword Cultivators' hearts surge with excitement!

The slovenly old man, holding a broken sword, heard the earth-shattering shouts of welcome, and a faint smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth.

He raised the broken wooden sword in his palm and swiped it across the Void Realm.

Vast Sword Intent soared into the sky!

All Sword Cultivators in the Sword Domain sensed it and looked up at the Celestial Court.

Below the Sword Dao Milky Way.

A terrifying sword momentum swept across the vast sky of the Sword Domain!

Heaven and earth fell silent, and the rules of the Dao of Sword evolved.

"When I return, I will perform sword arts on Cang Mountain."

Eight ancient, shimmering golden characters, like a Dragon and Phoenix dancing, materialized in the sky, radiating supreme Sword Intent, flowing endlessly.

The Sword Domain was in an uproar!

Everyone looked at the eight large characters below the Milky Way in disbelief, almost unable to believe their eyes.

"Oh my God! Tai'a Sword God is going to perform sword arts! Ever since the Sword Master emerged, Tai'a Sword God hasn't performed sword arts again! What does this mean?"

"I remember Tai'a Sword God once said that when he performed sword arts again, it would be the day he broke through to the Sword Master realm! Could it be, could it be that old Tai'a Sword God..."

"Hiss! If that's the case, then the Heavenly Emperor, who is number one on the Immortal King Ranking, will probably be suppressed!"

"Are we going to witness the shortest-lived Immortal King Ranking number one?"

"Compared to this, what I care about more is, Tai'a Sword God has descended the mountain, where is he going?"

"Where else could he go? The Dao of Sword is surging, which is a sign of our great prosperity in the Dao of Sword. He must be going to slay the Heavenly Emperor and prove the Great Dao of the Sword Master!"

"..."

In the Sword Domain, countless people looked up at the sky, pondering endless conjectures about those eight large characters.

Previously, when the Immortal King Ranking was updated, a Heavenly Emperor who appeared out of nowhere pushed Tai'a Sword God to second place, causing many supporters of the Sword Domain to feel deeply indignant!

They believed the Heavenly Emperor was unworthy!

For nearly ten million years.

Tai'a Sword God was number one before the Sword Master emerged!

He was still number one after the Sword Master left!

What did this indicate?

The number one on the Immortal King Ranking could only appear in the Sword Domain!

How could this Heavenly Emperor, who had never even been to the Sword Domain, be number one?!

There was a prevailing sentiment in the Sword Domain recently.

This Heavenly Emperor might be the Son of Heavenly Dao favored by the Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao, and to elevate him, to promote him to the Supreme Realm.

They deliberately put the Heavenly Emperor at number one on the Immortal King Ranking to bestow generous rewards for being number one!

The Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao is truly an utter bastard!

These days, many powerful cultivators in the Sword Domain often cursed!

Now, Tai'a Sword God had descended the mountain!

All Sword Cultivators in the Sword Domain were extremely excited!

They clearly knew that something big was about to happen!

Under the watchful eyes of countless Sword Cultivators in the Sword Domain, the slovenly old man walked down the small path of Cang Mountain.

He raised his hand, and the broken wooden sword that had carved the eight-character mantra in the sky transformed into a stream of light, rapidly returning.

At the same time.

Tai'a Sword God's expression was calm, and wisps of ethereal Immortal Qi emerged from beneath his tattered straw sandals.

Within the ethereal Immortal Qi, terrifying Dao of Sword rules were contained.

The moment the broken wooden sword returned.

He would be like a sharp sword unsheathed, traversing endlessly distant space, leaving the Sword Domain in one step, and entering the Immortal Realm.

Rumble rumble rumble!

Just then.

From the nine heavens, the magnificent Milky Way rumbled.

Billions of supreme Sword Intentions in the Milky Way flowed rapidly, like a surging river.

Under everyone's shocked gaze, the Dao of Sword, which had been flowing like a river, suddenly shifted its angle and stood upright.

The Milky Way became a waterfall!

As if someone had picked it up!

Boom.

A muffled sound.

The moment the Milky Way waterfall stood upright!

Billions of Sword Intentions whistled past, sweeping away the eight brilliant sword-momentum characters that Tai'a Sword God had just manifested and that were still shining in the Sword Domain!

The broken wooden sword stiffened in the Void Realm!

With the destruction of the eight characters, Tai'a Sword God's withered yellow face suddenly turned pale!

My Sword Heart, it hurts so much!

Under the gaze of countless admirers.

"Poof!!"

A mouthful of golden blood suddenly spurted from his parched lips!

Like a fountain, extremely disheveled!

The old man's cloudy eyes were filled with astonishment and shock.

I am the guardian of the Sword Domain, the supreme Great Sword God.

I have devoutly guarded the Dao for millions of years, why am I suffering a backlash from the Dao of Sword?

Before he could fully comprehend, a dizzying sensation came over him.

Like an old man in his twilight years, he stumbled and couldn't stand firm.

His straw sandals flew off, and he fell backward heavily.

Bang!

Tai'a Sword God's back of the head hit the ground heavily, making a muffled thud.

Then, a series of exclamations followed.

"Tai'a Sword God fell!"

"Quick! Quickly help Tai'a Sword God!"

"Oh my god!!! The Sword God's showing off got him a backlash from the Dao of Sword!!!"
