272: A woman chosen by fate? Jun Fengyan?

"This shouldn't be, this really shouldn't be..." Elder Sword began to mutter to himself, starting to doubt his own understanding of life.

Shen Nian's speed of comprehension had completely overturned his understanding of a Sword Cultivator!

"Sword Mother, Senior Brother's talent for the Dao of the Sword is truly too formidable. I feel that even if my Sword Heart were to awaken, I wouldn't be able to catch up!" Jiang Churan couldn't help but speak up.

"Mm." Deep within her Divine Soul, the Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit replied truthfully.

Indeed!

Even if Jiang Churan's Seven-Aperture Lapis Lazuli Sword Heart were to awaken, she would still be completely unable to comprehend the Great Evolution Nine Swords at such a speed. After all, it contained the path of the Origin of Annihilation!

"Do not be discouraged. His talent for the Dao of the Sword is too outrageous—so outrageous that it's somewhat abnormal!"

"Since my birth, no one has been able to surpass him. Even my previous master, the number one sword under this starry sky, could not compare!" The Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit continued.

This was the first time she had personally acknowledged that someone's talent for the Dao of the Sword surpassed her previous master!

Even the Nine Tribulations Sword Master, at the same age, would have to admit he was inferior upon meeting Shen Nian!

What did this mean?

It meant that if Shen Nian did not die young, his future achievements in the Dao of the Sword would exceed those of the Nine Tribulations Sword Master!

One must know, the Nine Tribulations Sword Master was known as the invincible Ancient Realm Venerable!

Therefore, she was even more confused!

What on earth was Shen Nian relying on!

The next second.

"This is...!!!"

"The Nine Aperture Lapis Lazuli Sword Heart, which has never appeared in this Universe before!!!"

"!!!" The Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit widened her eyes, watching that figure in black. At his chest, a strand of Innate Qi radiated, and there, a golden heart like glazed divine jade, with nine apertures rotating, was faintly visible.

The moment this heart appeared, the entire world fell silent!

The next second!

The entire Sword Mausoleum erupted with deafening sword hums. The divine swords in front of the Sword Tombs flew into the sky and began to bow in the same direction.

This was a shocking sight!

Ten thousand swords bowing in the sky!

"What is going on..."

"I was still comprehending the sword technique, why did the sword fly away!"

"This direction is... My god, look, eight streaks of ten-zhang sword light, what is that?"

The Great Evolution Sword Sect Disciples who were comprehending the Legacy of the sword technique were alarmed one after another, looking towards the depths of the Sword Mausoleum and exclaiming.

The leading Elder turned back to look, his expression instantly becoming dazed...

At this very moment.

Before the ninth stone tablet.

This stone tablet was different from the others; there were no sword marks for comprehension on it.

Shen Nian couldn't be bothered to sit cross-legged and directly began the simulation. Unexpectedly, the ninth sword contained a special power that actually caused his Sword Heart to manifest.

"Inside this stone tablet, there is a Small World?" When Shen Nian's Divine Thought touched the stone tablet intending to simulate, he suddenly discovered this point.

The next instant!

The Sword Intent of the eight swords on his body moved in unison, emitting a sense of space, and sucked his Divine Soul into it...

Inside the ninth stone tablet.

A purple bamboo forest that looked like a fairyland came into view, with ethereal Immortal Qi and bursts of profound zither music.

Shen Nian frowned slightly, unexpectedly feeling a somewhat familiar aura, originating from the same source as the Demon Sealing Sect!

Immediately following that.

His figure moved, and he appeared deep in the bamboo forest.

He saw a figure playing the zither in an ancient cottage, dressed in green robes, her black hair dancing in the wind, resembling an immortal exiled to earth. But there was something strange; her figure was somewhat illusory, feeling dreamlike and unreal.

"Great Evolution Sword Emperor?" Shen Nian looked at this figure and asked tentatively. He had never seen the appearance of the Great Evolution Sword Emperor and had come directly to the Sword Mausoleum without having time to visit the ancestral temple of the Great Evolution Sword Sect. However, relying on the fact that the other party possessed the same Great Evolution Sword Intent as himself, and one even more intense than his own, he guessed the other party's identity.

He thus guessed the other party's identity.

The founder of the Great Evolution Sword Sect, the one without whom the Human Race's Dao of the Sword would be as if in an eternal night: the Great Evolution Sword Emperor!

It was just that Shen Nian had not expected the other party to actually be a woman!

There was one more thing that confused Shen Nian: the strongest aura emanating from the other party was not Sword Intent, but the vital blood energy of the Physical Body!

As soon as Shen Nian's voice rang out.

Ding!

The zither music stopped abruptly!

The figure in green raised her head indifferently. Her pair of phoenix eyes seemed capable of seeing through all illusions. On that indescribably immortal face, there was actually a trace of astonishment—three parts dazed, seven parts terrified.

After staring at each other like this for half a minute.

"?" Shen Nian frowned.

What the hell!

Why isn't she speaking?

Has a remnant soul lived for too long and crashed?

"Are you there?"

Shen Nian couldn't help but speak again. After saying this, he couldn't help but darken his face.

Asking like that seemed a bit stupid!

"Ah!"

"Someone!"

After a scream, the figure in green grabbed the ancient zither with extreme speed and bolted away in a flash!

"..." Shen Nian was completely dumbfounded.

What the hell??

What is this doing??

The next second.

A long-lost System voice rang out in Shen Nian's mind, immediately making him even more dumbfounded.

[Ding, Daughter of Destiny Jun Fengyan detected, reading information...]

"Huh?"

"Daughter of Destiny?"

"Jun Fengyan??"

Shen Nian couldn't help but pause for a moment, and saw a character introduction panel appear before his eyes.
