The free and easy sword emperor, the sword technique that cuts through the sky!
"The fact that you caused the palace gates to open wide only indicates that you are fated to receive the highest Legacy here, but it doesn't mean that the Opportunity and Legacy belong to you."
"All of this requires the strength to protect it!"
Lu Daoyuan looked at Lin Dong and smiled coldly, "Thank you for opening the palace for me. I'll gladly accept it!"
Before Lin Dong could enter the main hall, Lu Daoyuan moved like a bolt of lightning, swiftly attacking him, with lightning raining down on Lin Dong like a torrential downpour.
Lin Dong had long anticipated Lu Daoyuan's move. He remained indifferent and was about to make his move.
However, before Lin Dong could act...
Rumble!
The main hall's light barrier flared brightly, emanating terrifying Sword Law, which then descended upon Lu Daoyuan like a torrential downpour.
Lu Daoyuan was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground, spitting out blood.
This scene startled the other Cultivators who had been itching to make a move. What was happening? Did the main hall only allow those who were fated to enter?
Someone, not believing in evil, used his Divine Thought to probe the main hall, but instantly died on the spot.
This scared the others even more, preventing them from acting rashly.
This action undoubtedly crushed the hopes of others who wanted to fish in troubled waters and obtain an Opportunity.
Lin Dong was momentarily stunned, then he grinned, looking at the utterly disheveled Lu Daoyuan as if he were an idiot, then turned and entered the main hall.
Lin Dong wasn't afraid of Lu Daoyuan.
But he didn't know how long the main hall would remain open, and he didn't want any accidents, so he could only enter the main hall first.
"Damn it!"
"I must kill him."
"I don't believe you won't come out!"
Lin Dong's smile was like a silent mockery, piercing his heart deeply.
It was as if the goddess he had painstakingly pursued, whose hand he could barely touch, had always ignored him.
Then, a man suddenly appeared, and the goddess's door opened wide, and she went out to have fun with him that very day.
This feeling was even more unbearable than killing Lu Daoyuan.
Lu Daoyuan was enraged, his body crackled with lightning, and his long hair stood on end. This aura made everyone feel oppressed.
He would wait here.
He would wait for Lin Dong to emerge from the main hall and personally kill this Junior on the spot to wash away today's humiliation!
...
Inside the main hall.
Lin Dong's vision first went black, then the stars seemed to shift, and then the scenery before him brightened considerably, as if he had entered another world.
It wasn't a palace as he had imagined, but a world filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
Flower fields stretched as far as the eye could see, and the air was filled with the scent of flowers. It looked like a Mortal World, making him feel comfortable.
Lin Dong surveyed his surroundings, "Where is this? Didn't I enter the main hall? How did I end up in another world?"
"Hmm? This is..."
Suddenly, Lin Dong's pupils contracted.
He saw a figure standing not far away, with his hands clasped behind his back.
His back was tall and imposing, like an eternal monument that had stood for countless ages!
His aura was transcendent and refined. His white robes fluttered, making him appear like a carefree immortal in the Mortal World, free to roam the vast Universe!
"You've come?"
A low murmur, as if from eons ago, resounded.
The middle-aged man turned around, and in his eyes, the cosmic river seemed to be reflected. His entire being exuded an air of looking down upon the world.
Lin Dong's heart trembled, as if facing a formidable enemy.
He could feel an intense gaze sweeping over him, as if all his secrets were laid bare at that moment.
This Senior is so powerful!
He seemed to be observing him.
But Lin Dong didn't sense any malice, so he wasn't afraid. He cupped his hands respectfully, neither humble nor arrogant, "Junior Lin Dong greets Senior."
"No need for formalities."
The middle-aged man nodded, showing a hint of appreciation, and smiled, "This Emperor has waited for millions of years. You are the ninth person to reach the final Legacy!"
"This means we are fated!"
"I am a Sword Dao expert, and you are also a Sword Dao enlightened one. Your talent is good; you are qualified to receive this Emperor's Legacy."
"Are you willing to accept my Legacy?"
"Junior is willing!" Lin Dong said respectfully. He keenly heard this middle-aged man refer to himself as 'This Emperor' twice.
His heart couldn't help but churn with immense waves...
Who would dare to call himself 'This Emperor'?
At least a quasi-Emperor Realm magnate, or perhaps even a legendary Great Emperor!!
The middle-aged man before him was at least a quasi-Emperor magnate.
He never expected that such an inconspicuous bone map, the highest Legacy in the Secret Realm, would actually be the Legacy of a Sword Emperor!
With such a Legacy, Lin Dong would not lose out, no matter what.
Lin Dong felt that there was no free lunch in the world and asked, "What does Junior need to do to accept Senior's Legacy?"
"You don't need to do anything."
"This Emperor just doesn't want this sword art to be lost!"
"But don't be too happy. Whether you can comprehend this Emperor's Legacy still depends on your Opportunity."
The middle-aged man said, "Watch closely. I will only perform this sword once! Whether you can comprehend it depends on your Opportunity!"
Sky Severing Sword Draw Technique!
As the middle-aged man let out a soft cry, his eyes became domineering, his white robes fluttered without wind, and his entire being exuded an unparalleled sharp aura!
Buzz!
He pointed two fingers like a sword and gently waved them.
An unparalleled sword light shot into the sky, a white light piercing through heaven and earth, carrying an unparalleled sharp edge, cleaving this Universe!
Lin Dong stood there in a daze.
In his pupils, the sword strike unleashed by the middle-aged man just now was reflected, continuously looping.
He fell into a deep state of comprehending the Dao.
Looking at Lin Dong's state, the middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction, "He's a good seed indeed. I hope you won't disappoint me."
The middle-aged man looked into the distance, his eyes flickering, wondering what he was thinking.
Two and a half days passed in a flash.
Boom!
From the originally peaceful sea of flowers, a sharp sword force suddenly shot into the sky.
Lin Dong's eyes were sharp, and an unparalleled sharp edge emerged. The flowers in the sea of flowers turned into petals, as if brewing a terrifying sword strike.
But suddenly, the Sword Intent immediately retracted!
Unparalleled Sword Intent flowed in Lin Dong's eyes as he calmed his aura.
The middle-aged man said, "It seems you have gained some Comprehension Ability and touched the threshold of the sword art. As expected of a Sword Dao enlightened one, among the nine, you have the highest Comprehension Ability, gaining such insight in just two and a half days."
"Thank you again, Senior!"
"It is Junior's honor to witness Senior personally perform the sword art!"
Lin Dong was full of admiration, "Senior's sword strike is the greatest Junior has ever seen!"
What an astonishingly brilliant sword strike; Lin Dong simply couldn't describe it with words.
Every time he recalled it, his mind was filled with shock.
This sword strike would forever be etched in Lin Dong's mind, impossible to erase, until Lin Dong surpassed the middle-aged man.
"May I know Senior's name?"
"Sword Emperor Xiaoyao!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the heavens and earth seemed to tremble, unable to bear his true name!
Lin Dong's heart shook. Although he had never heard of him, he could sense a domineering aura from the name, a spirit that even heaven and earth could not bind.
"Sword Emperor Xiaoyao?"
"That certainly matches Senior's demeanor!"
Lin Dong cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Senior, for the Legacy. Junior will certainly not disgrace this sword art!"
Sword Emperor Xiaoyao seemed to see his past self in Lin Dong and placed great hope in him, "This wisp of my remnant soul doesn't have much time left."
"You can Cultivate here for a period of time."
"If there's anything you don't understand, This Emperor will guide you."
"Learn slowly! Don't be overambitious. When This Emperor was in the King Realm, it took him three months to barely grasp the Sky Severing Sword Draw Technique."
"Not to mention you only saw it once..."
At this point, Sword Emperor Xiaoyao suddenly felt a familiar aura. He turned his head and saw Lin Dong's aura suddenly change, somewhat in disbelief, "How is this possible...?"
