736: Chapter 737 The Prodigy Ranking Appears

Just then, in the lobby downstairs, a voice shouted, cracking with excitement:

"I have a recording stone sent back from the edge of the Ancient Plain! The latest one! Though it's blurry, it has all the key footage!"

"A recording stone? Then what are we waiting for! Play it! Play it now!" Everyone was instantly drawn in and urged him one after another.

The man didn't hesitate and immediately activated the recording stone.

A screen of light unfolded in the center of the restaurant. Although the images were somewhat blurry and shaky due to the distance and energy impact, the scenes within still made everyone hold their breath.

In the image, it was the very moment of Li Xuanfeng's world-shaking sword strike, "Void Breaker"!

The figure in the green robe merged with the sword light, turning into a beam of light that cut through everything. It sliced through the Star River Divine Light and the blood-colored demonic claws, and with undiminished momentum, it crashed through the defense jointly set up by Saint Son Xing Wuji and Demon Son Xue Lu, violently sending them flying!

Following that was the scene of Li Xuanfeng scratching his head, asking an old Cultivator for directions with a "sorry" look on his face.

"Hiss—!"

"Did you see that? Did you see that?! It really was one sword strike! Just one!"

"My god, even through the recording stone, that power makes my Divine Soul sting!"

"Hahaha! He really asked! 'Where is this?' Saint Son Xing Wuji and Demon Son Xue Lu's Dao Hearts are probably going to collapse!"

Exclamations and laughter rang out again. Everyone was shaken by the impact of the real footage, and their curiosity and awe for that mysterious green-robed Sword Cultivator reached its Peak.

Xiao Ruobai and the others looked at the familiar green-robed figure on the light screen and smiled knowingly, a sense of pride welling up within them.

Just as the clamor reached its Peak—

Buzz—!!!

An aloof, cold, and incredibly sharp Sword Intent rose without warning from a corner on the second floor of the Linxian Tower!

This Sword Intent was not like a raging wave, but like snow on a lonely Peak, or a cold moon shining in the sky. With a simple bloom, it instantly suppressed the clamor of the entire city!

The voices that were just boiling over were suddenly cut off as if by an invisible hand, coming to an abrupt halt!

The entire Linxian Tower fell into a deathly silence where a pin drop could be heard.

The faces of countless Cultivators changed drastically. Those with weaker cultivation even groaned, their blood and Qi churning, their immortal power stagnating, and their Divine Souls trembling slightly under this pure Sword Dao pressure, feeling an instinctive fear.

What terrifying Sword Intent! Has a true Sword Dao Supreme emerged?!

Everyone's eyes, filled with suspicion, awe, and shock, turned in unison toward the source of that heart-palpitating Sword Intent.

In a quiet spot by the window on the second floor, a solitary figure had stood there quietly at some point.

The person wore a simple gray cloth robe, standing tall like a lone pine in the snow, with an innate aloofness in his eyes that seemed independent of the world.

He held no longsword in his hand, merely standing with his hands behind his back.

Yet as he stood there, within three feet of his body, the air seemed to turn into invisible sword blades, and even light seemed to be silently sliced as it approached.

The man himself was like a peerless divine sword half-unsheathed, its cold light contained within!

"Is... is it him?!"

"The Little Sword Emperor—Ling Guzhou!!"

Someone recognized the figure, gasped, and cried out in shock.

This name seemed to possess magic, causing the pupils of the Cultivators present to contract sharply, their expressions of awe deepening.

The Little Sword Emperor, Ling Guzhou!

The closed-door disciple of the reclusive Guhong Sword Emperor, he lived only for the sword, and his Sword Dao talent was world-shaking.

At three hundred years old, he fully comprehended the true meaning of the Guhong Sword Dao. A thousand years ago, he was already invincible among Sword Cultivators of his generation. With a Peak Immortal Lord cultivation, he once severely wounded an Immortal King with three strikes. His prestige was earned through real combat!

He was hailed as one of the Peak existences of the Sword Dao among the younger generation in the Immortal Realm! To think he was also in this Linxian Tower!

Ling Guzhou slowly raised his eyes, those sharp, sword-like eyes looking toward the Ancient Plain of Fallen Stars. His tone was flat, yet carried an air of pride and sharpness:

"Green-robed Sword Cultivator."

"Defeating two prodigies with one sword strike, how interesting."

"Your sword..."

He paused slightly, and the dormant Sword Intent around him suddenly became alive and boiled for an instant!

"I accept it."

A simple sentence, yet it thundered in everyone's ears like a bolt from the Nine Heavens!

The Little Sword Emperor Ling Guzhou wants to challenge this mysterious green-robed Sword Cultivator?!

The scalps of all the Cultivators present went numb, filled with extreme horror!

One was the Little Sword Emperor, famous for a thousand years and Supreme among his peers; the other was the mysterious Sword Cultivator who had emerged out of nowhere and defeated two prodigies with a single strike.

If these two were to face off, the heavens and earth would surely change color, and it would shock the entire Immortal Realm!

"Ling Guzhou is going to make a move! He's actually interested in that green-robed Sword Cultivator!"

"One is the Little Sword Emperor who has reigned Supreme for a thousand years with nearly invincible Sword Dao, and the other is a mysterious Sword Cultivator who appeared out of nowhere and shocked the immortals with one strike! If these two peerless blades were to clash..."

"Unimaginable! That would definitely be a world-shaking duel worthy of being recorded in the annals of the Immortal Realm!"

"It's over, that green-robed Sword Cultivator is in big trouble! He just became famous and ran into a killing god like Ling Guzhou blocking his path!"

"Exactly. Ling Guzhou's sword is said to silence all Laws wherever the Guhong passes. He has never been defeated among those of the same rank!

Although that green-robed Sword Cultivator is strong, the outcome is hard to predict against this one!"

"More than hard to predict, I'd say the odds are against him! How can a newcomer's foundation and combat experience compare to Ling Guzhou's?"

Exclamations, awe, fanaticism, and no shortage of pessimistic discussions rose in low voices.

In the eyes of the vast majority of Cultivators, although the mysterious green-robed Sword Cultivator was stunning, he had run into the Little Sword Emperor, who was already famous and unfathomably powerful.

His legendary path would likely encounter an unprecedentedly severe challenge and might even be cut short here.

At Xiao Ruobai's table, the atmosphere was also a bit subtle.

Wang Xiaopang curled his lip and muttered via Divine Thought: "What Little Sword Emperor? He sure talks big. Senior Brother Li's sword is the strongest!"

Ling Xi frowned slightly: "This person's Sword Intent is indeed pure and sharp, having reached a very high level. He's a formidable opponent."

At this moment, Fang Hanyu finally shifted his gaze from his teacup and truly, seriously looked at the solitary gray-robed figure on the second floor for the first time.

He watched for a few breaths, his eyes remaining calm as he simply said four words:

"Sword Dao, passable."

Xiao Ruobai smiled slightly, showing not much worry but only anticipation:

"Senior Brother Li's sword will not disappoint. And as for this Little Sword Emperor..."

He glanced at Ling Guzhou's aloof back, "Perhaps he is exactly the right whetstone for Senior Brother Li to sharpen his blade."

Just then—

Buzz—!!!!

An indescribable, vast fluctuation, seemingly originating from the world origin, descended without warning!

The sky of the entire Immortal Realm was instantly filled with endless, mysterious runes! Golden lotuses surged from the ground, sweet rain fell from the heavens, and lightning was born from the void!

Immediately after, endless Chaos Qi gushed out from the depths of the void, intertwining and circling. At the Peak of the sky directly above Tianyuan City, it condensed into a colossal, sky-blotting phantom of an ancient divine monument!

Upon the divine monument, chaotic mists churned, and billions of Dao runes moved like dragons and snakes, emitting a Supreme majesty that suppressed eternity and pacified the heavens!

An indescribable, majestic pressure descended like the Heavenly River pouring down.

At this moment, throughout the entire Immortal Realm, regardless of cultivation level or location, all Cultivators felt their Divine Souls sink. The Dao Laws within them resonated with it, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of insignificance and awe.

Everyone subconsciously looked up at the heart-palpitating phantom of the ancient divine monument outside the window, which occupied most of the sky.

A Supreme, majestic, and ancient Dao sound, as if condensed from the Laws of the heavens, slowly echoed in the depths of every living being's heart, each word like a heavenly decree:

"The Great Dao revolves, and Luck flourishes!"

"Today is established: the Immortal Realm heavenly pride list!"

I had some temporary business today, so the update is late. Truly sorry!
