101: Chapter 101: Sword Three, Comes to Life!

The next day, at the foot of Tiandao Mountain, the number of people coming and going had reached its peak, everyone eagerly looking forward, their faces full of anticipation.

Today was the day of the Supreme Beginning Holy Land's Saint succession ceremony, and they could finally enter the Holy Land.

"Hehe, I want to see what kind of person this Saint is, suddenly appearing in a Holy Land that hasn't had a Saint for so many years."

Before long, the Supreme Beginning Holy Land's mountain gate glowed brightly, and several figures flew out from it, all of them Holy Land Elders. The entire Tiandao Mountain instantly fell silent.

"Thank you all for coming to our Holy Land to observe the ceremony. The time has come, please enter."

As the Elder's voice fell, the Cultivators at the foot of Tiandao Mountain began to enter in an orderly fashion.

Just then, three powerful auras came from afar, one of which contained a sharp Sword Intent. People exclaimed, "It's the Lingyun Sword Sect!"

"Jian San of the Lingyun Sword Sect congratulates the Supreme Beginning Holy Land on the birth of its Saint!"

More than a dozen young men, carrying treasured swords on their backs, arrived from the horizon, riding a giant spirit sword. Each of them exuded a trace of astonishing Sword Intent.

The leader had an indifferent expression, and there was a hint of disdain in his gaze towards the Supreme Beginning Holy Land.

"It's Jian San of the Lingyun Sword Sect!"

The crowd immediately burst into exclamations. The Lingyun Sword Sect had thirteen powerful Sword Cultivators, from Jian Thirteen to Sword One. The higher the number, the stronger their power.

Especially the top three, they possessed powerful Sword Bodies and had comprehended powerful Sword Intent, making them the three most outstanding individuals in the Dao of the Sword among the younger generation.

"I didn't expect even him to come. Now there's a good show to watch. The Supreme Beginning Holy Land and the Lingyun Sword Sect have always been at odds. This Jian San is probably not here with good intentions."

The Holy Land Elder frowned slightly, but he couldn't refuse. He said to Jian San, "Please enter."

Jian San didn't even glance at him, leading the Sword Sect Disciples through the gate.

"Yao Guang Holy Land congratulates the Supreme Beginning Holy Land on the birth of its Saint!"

"Ninefold Mountain congratulates Jiang Xuan of the Supreme Beginning Holy Land on ascending to the position of Saint!"

Just then, two more voices sounded. Yun Ya led several Disciples, riding a mountain peak, and Qiu Shang was among them. However, this time, he stood behind a young man.

From the Yao Guang Holy Land came a beautiful woman in palace attire, followed by only one female. Dressed in a white Saint robe, her figure was graceful, like a Fairy who didn't partake in worldly affairs.

The crowd was once again shocked, "That's the Mountain Lord of Ninefold Mountain and Yao Xin, the Holy Lord of Yao Guang Holy Land. My goodness, two Saints have actually come!"

Normally, for them, Saints were not easily seen. The Supreme was the greatest figure they had ever seen.

"This trip was truly worthwhile, to see the legendary Saints."

"That young man seems to be Yun Shan, the Personal Disciple of the Mountain Lord of Yun Cliff, and that Fairy, Meng Ling, the Saintess of Yao Guang Holy Land."

"Hiss, they are all Prodigies whose names have long shaken the Barren Continent, especially Meng Ling. She is a figure on par with the First Personal Disciple of Ninefold Mountain, and Sword One of the Sword Sect!"

Yun Ya and Yao Xin greeted each other and then entered the mountain gate.

"Let's go, we'll go in too."

As the major powers entered, the crowd recovered from their shock and entered the Supreme Beginning Holy Land one after another.

At Supreme Beginning Peak, the Holy Land's main peak, all the Disciples were present, their faces beaming with joy. In front were the nine sequences.

Their gazes were fixed on the people from the three major powers opposite them, especially the Sword Sect, whose teeth they gnashed in hatred. On normal days, it was this Sword Sect that mocked them the most.

Jian San had his eyes closed, completely uninterested in this Saint ceremony. The Sword Sect Disciples behind him watched the Holy Land Disciples with playful expressions, their mockery evident.

"Tch, these wastes, they think that just because a Saint appeared, they can get rid of the name 'waste'. How ridiculous."

The Holy Land Disciples clenched their fists. Seeing the expressions of the Sword Sect members, they wished they could rush up and give them a good beating!

Lin Wuyuan, Yun Ya, and the other two sat at the very top. The former looked towards Jian San's direction, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes. He only sent a Disciple? Heh, still so arrogant.

Yao Xin, the Holy Lord, watched all of this with great interest. As one of the four major powers, his Yao Guang Holy Land had always remained neutral, so he was happy to watch the excitement.

"The Saint has arrived!"

At this moment, a Holy Land Elder shouted loudly. In the sky, a huge red carpet unfurled from the Void Realm, and a figure slowly walked out from it.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Everyone immediately looked towards the red carpet. At this sight, the crowd was momentarily stunned. Even Meng Ling, the Saintess of Yao Guang Holy Land, had a glimmer in her eyes. What a handsome person.

Jiang Xuan wore a purple crystal Saint crown, a four-colored Dragon-patterned mark appeared between his brows, and he was dressed in a white Saint robe carved with Sacred Beasts. His long hair cascaded over his shoulders, and a gentle smile played on his lips. His temperament was ethereal, like a banished immortal.

Seeing the stunned expressions of the crowd, the Holy Land Disciples felt a great sense of satisfaction. "Hehe, you're going to be so handsome you'll die."

Then, they shouted excitedly, "Saint Jiang Xuan, Saint Jiang Xuan!"

The outsiders were startled back to their senses by the sudden shouts. Seeing the fervent scene, they felt it was exaggerated.

Jiang Xuan's popularity in the Holy Land was too high, but, putting everything else aside, his appearance and temperament were indeed rare in the world.

The Sword Sect Disciples were full of jealousy. "Hmph, what's the use of being handsome? A mere King Conferring Realm can be the Holy Land's Saint. The Supreme Beginning Holy Land is becoming more and more decadent!"

Yun Ya looked at Jiang Xuan with an unreadable expression, thinking to himself, "Jiang Xuan, hurry up and come to Ninefold Mountain, hehehe."

Yao Xin's expression was quite solemn. He actually felt a trace of mystery from Jiang Xuan. "This little fellow, I'm afraid he's not simple."

When Jiang Xuan descended upon Supreme Beginning Peak, Lin Wuyuan stepped forward and handed Jiang Xuan a token engraved with the character 'Saint'.

"Jiang Xuan, from today onwards, you are the Saint of my Supreme Beginning Holy Land, representing our Holy Land to walk the world!"

Jiang Xuan solemnly accepted the token. From then on, he had an additional responsibility in his heart.

"Jiang Xuan will not fail the Holy Land's prestige!"

After speaking, he raised the token high in his hand.

All the Holy Land Disciples, and the inner and outer Elders, stood up and bowed in homage, "Greetings, Saint!"

Jiang Xuan nodded slightly, then put away the token and raised his hand to signal the Disciples to dispense with the formalities.

In the direction of the Lingyun Sword Sect, Jian San suddenly opened his eyes. It was almost time.

He slowly stood up and bowed to Lin Wuyuan and the others, saying, "Holy Lord Lin, as the leader of the younger generation within the Holy Land, the Saint's cultivation must be unparalleled among his peers."

"However, I observe that your Saint only has a mere King Conferring Realm cultivation. I presume he must have extraordinary qualities. I wonder if you would allow us to witness the Saint's demeanor."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd began to discuss, "Here it comes, here it comes. The Sword Sect truly won't miss any opportunity to humiliate the Supreme Beginning Holy Land."

The Holy Land Disciples looked at Jian San with ill intent. Among the nine sequences, Shi Teng, as Jiang Xuan's most loyal follower, spoke out and reprimanded, "Jian San, with your status, you are not qualified to challenge our Holy Land's Saint!"

Jian San said indifferently, "I am merely puzzled that a King Conferring Realm Cultivator can also be the Holy Land's Saint; I am simply curious. It's fine if the Saint is unwilling, but the world might then think that the Supreme Beginning Holy Land is not as good as before, and that anyone can become a Saint."

"What did you say!"

Shi Teng was furious and was about to step forward, but Jiang Xuan stopped him.

Jiang Xuan looked at Jian San, his eyes as if he were looking at prey. Recalling the System's prompt, Jiang Xuan excitedly thought, "Work has arrived!"
