860: The Eighteenth Floor, the Sage's Sword

“...”

Mr. Shu stopped, his gaze falling on the Ye Linghuang, a hint of emotion in his eyes.

What is a heaven-blessed prodigy?

The Ye Linghuang before him was a heaven-blessed prodigy!

It seemed this time she would break through and advance further.

The Ye Linghuang's finger moved, and she instantly stood up, the spear intent on her body continuously condensing, forming a gray long spear.

Her aura surged again, powerful Principles of Dao emerged, continuously growing, expanding, and strengthening, its dazzling light extremely brilliant, causing the heavens and earth to tremble with formidable might.

Boom!

The Immortal Spirit Aspect and Immortal Spirit Domain reappeared, their oppressive power becoming even more terrifying.

Within the domain, the shattered buildings gradually floated up, undergoing a new round of reconstruction, as if being reshaped, appearing indestructible.

The Ye Linghuang looked at Mr. Shu: “I, Linghuang, have gained some insight and created a spear technique called 'Rebirth.' I ask for your guidance, Mr. Shu!”

As she spoke, she gripped the long spear and soared into the sky, her injuries recovering in an instant.

The mysterious shattered buildings within her domain instantly reassembled, transforming into brand new divine temples.

The Corpse Skeletons inside also rapidly regained flesh and blood, as if they had come back to life.

Boom!

The Ye Linghuang transformed into an afterimage, merging with the long spear, and instantly charged towards Mr. Shu.

And her cultivation, silently, stepped from the Extreme Gui Xu Realm into the Palace Knocking Realm.

“It's worth another sword strike!”

Mr. Shu's eyes showed approval when he saw the Ye Linghuang's move.

He flicked his sleeve, Vast Righteous Qi erupted, and the sword scabbard opened again. A long sword with the character ' righteous' (righteousness) engraved on its blade shot out, meeting the Ye Linghuang's spear.

Boom!

The long sword and long spear collided, a burst of explosive sound rang out, and powerful energy swept in all directions.

Invincible spear intent and rampant sword qi, the two continuously clashed, gusts of wind buffeting, and dazzling light enveloped the heavens and earth.

“...”

The Ye Linghuang and Mr. Shu increased their power again, the long spear and long sword fiercely clashing.

After a moment of stalemate.

The long spear in the Ye Linghuang's hand cracked in several places, and her body was shaken back onto the bronze square, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

But this time, her domain did not shatter, and she was not as disheveled as before.

“...”

Mr. Shu also took a step back, and the long sword flew before him, returning to its scabbard.

He looked at the Ye Linghuang and smiled gently: “Congratulations to the Ye Linghuang on successfully breaking through!”

The Second Princess came here for a sparring match and was able to break through. She truly lives up to her reputation as the pride of the Eastern Desolation Imperial Family.

The Ye Linghuang bowed to Mr. Shu: “Thank you, Mr. Shu.”

Although she had broken through, if she relied solely on her pure strength, she would still find it difficult to defeat Mr. Shu.

Mr. Shu before her was no ordinary Palace Knocking peak cultivator.

He cultivated the Confucian Vast Righteous Qi and received guidance from the Sword Emperor and the Confucian Sage. His strength was terrifying, capable of fighting against the Dao Seeking Realm.

Mr. Shu smiled faintly: “I said before that if you could take one sword strike, you would win. Now that you've taken two, would you consider visiting the seventeenth floor?”

The Ye Linghuang pondered for a moment and said: “It is said that when the Sword Emperor established the Sword Pavilion, he seemed to have placed something within it...”

Mr. Shu did not hide anything and stated directly: “Your Highness has extraordinary talent, so you are indeed qualified to know some things! In fact, on the eighteenth floor of this Sword Pavilion, there is a peerless divine sword called 'Sage,' which is a peerless holy weapon given to the Sword Emperor by the Confucian Sage, containing endless Great Righteousness Principles.”

He paused slightly: “Unfortunately, for many years, the Sword Emperor has been unable to comprehend it in the slightest, so he placed it on the eighteenth floor of the Sword Pavilion. As long as one can defeat the guardian of the eighteenth floor, they can take the Sage Sword.”

The Sword Emperor was the Confucian Sage's eldest disciple, but the sword dao he cultivated was not the Haoran Sword Dao, so for many years, he had been unable to gain the recognition of the Sage Sword.

As a disciple of the Sword Emperor, he had naturally tried to retrieve the Sage Sword.

Unfortunately, the Sage Sword did not recognize him, perhaps because his Great Righteousness Dao had not yet reached its full potential.

Or perhaps, the Sage was not destined for him.

When the Confucian Sage gave the Sage Sword to the Sword Emperor, his true intention was to have the Sword Emperor find a fated person for the Sage Sword.

“Eighteenth floor, peerless holy weapon, Sage Sword!”

When the Ye Linghuang heard this, a glint flashed in her eyes, followed by a bitter smile.

With her current strength, facing the guardian of the seventeenth floor would result in certain defeat.

As for the eighteenth floor, she dared not even think about it.

It seemed this Sage Sword was not destined for her!

Those watching below looked at the Ye Linghuang with admiration in their eyes.

“As expected of the Imperial Family's Ye Linghuang, to break through in battle, truly terrifying.”

Everyone stared at the Second Princess with solemn expressions.

As residents of Sword Emperor City, they had naturally seen many people come here to challenge the Sword Pavilion, but no one had reached the sixteenth floor in nearly ten years.

Now, one had appeared: the Imperial Family's Ye Linghuang, the Ye Linghuang!

Xie Weilou looked at Xie Buxian and asked with a smile: “Buick, after watching this battle, what do you feel?”

Xie Buxian said with a serious expression: “I don't understand! But that Mr. Shu is truly very strong; the Vast Righteous Qi on him makes me feel afraid.”

He also cultivated Haoran Sword Qi, but his small amount of Vast Righteous Qi, compared to Mr. Shu's, was like a drop of water encountering an ocean, utterly incomparable.

Xie Weilou said: “That Mr. Shu cultivates the Confucian Great Righteousness, and the Vast Righteous Qi contained within his body is indeed extraordinary. He is the third person I've seen who can cultivate Vast Righteous Qi to such a degree.”

“The third? Who are the first and second, if I may ask?”

Xie Buxian asked curiously.

Xie Weilou smiled faintly: “The first is a Mr. from a certain Holy Academy. He was born with weak bones and couldn't cultivate, but he relied on studying to cultivate to the Divine Court Realm, possessing incredibly pure Great Righteousness power, even more extraordinary. As for now, I don't know what realm he has entered, but it shouldn't be low!”

The Grandmaster of the Great Xia Holy Academy was no ordinary person. Xie Weilou himself had left Great Xia and come to the Eastern Desolation, and his cultivation had also advanced by leaps and bounds.

But people like the Grandmaster would certainly also have made huge breakthroughs.

When Xie Buxian heard this, he continued to ask: “Then who is the second person?”

Xie Weilou said with a rich smile: “Right before your eyes!”

“...”

Xie Buxian subconsciously looked at Xie Weilou, instantly showing a look of realization.

He said admiringly: “In my heart, Big Brother Xie is the most formidable.”

“Low-key, low-key!”

Xie Weilou toyed with his wine cup.

“Understood!”

Xie Buxian nodded quickly.

Mr. Shu stood in the void, he glanced down, and said with a smile: “Today, there is something I need to tell everyone. That is, the eighteenth floor of this Sword Pavilion contains a peerless holy artifact called the Sage Sword. As long as one defeats the guardian of the eighteenth floor, they can take the Sage Sword. Of course, holy artifacts have spirits, and whether one can ultimately take it depends on fate.”
