131: Sword Refining

A massive explosion instantly swept across the entire world.

Although you had hidden in the Void Realm, you were still surprised by Bai Zhan's words.

"Traitor?!"

Your heart jolted, and then you immediately activated the Law of Space and headed towards the Sword Immortal Sect with all your might.

An hour later, you emerged from the Void Realm.

However, by this time, the Sword Immortal Sect had already received news of Bai Zhan's demise.

The Sect's Elders and deacons had long since left, and even few Disciples remained.

You apprehended them and performed soul searches one by one.

But the useful information obtained was very little.

"Still a step too late."

You sighed softly.

Because you had never been to the Sword Immortal Sect before, you couldn't instantly travel there using Celestial Travel.

However, you were not an indecisive person.

Although you couldn't fully uncover the truth at the Sword Immortal Sect, there were still the other four Sects.

Thinking of this, you immediately activated Celestial Travel and arrived in Yongxing City, under the Hall of Longevity.

Everything here was as it once was.

But you were no longer the Mahayana Cultivator who had just undergone Ascension.

You first swept the Hall of Longevity with your Divine Sense, then locked onto the Hall Master of Longevity, who was still Cultivating in seclusion.

In an instant, you fully activated the Law of Space.

You immediately ignored the layers of Restrictions and appeared in his Immortal Cave.

"Who are you?!"

The Hall Master of Longevity was slightly startled.

But before he could react, you had already swung your sword at him.

Terrifying Evil Qi, like Mount Tai pressing down, assailed the Hall Master of Longevity.

"Clang!!!"

The Hall Master of Longevity saw the unfavorable situation and immediately reacted, but in his haste, he was no match for you.

Even with his Immortal King Realm cultivation, you severely wounded him with one strike, forcing him to retreat repeatedly.

"You're courting death! Longevity Seal!"

"Crack!"

In an instant, a green great seal descended from the sky, carrying the might of overturning mountains and seas, striking directly at you.

But you showed no fear.

With a complete Law of Space, even Immortal King Cultivators like Bai Zhan and the Hall Master of Longevity, exerting their full power, couldn't touch you in the slightest.

You easily dodged the Longevity Seal.

Instead, the Longevity Seal shattered the Immortal Cave, injuring many Disciples.

"You... Law of Space?!"

The Hall Master of Longevity was shocked.

After all, Immortal King Realm Cultivators like him could only Cultivate Laws that other foreign races looked down upon.

And although such Laws could help Cultivators Breakthrough their Realm, once they entered combat, they would immediately reveal their true weakness.

The Hall Master of Longevity knew he was no match for you.

He wanted to beg for mercy, but before he could speak, your killing moves followed one after another.

The Eternal Life Sword emitted a sword glow, which split into ten, then a hundred.

And each sword glow contained infinite power.

This was the seventh-tier Immortal Art, Chaos Sword Prison!

Just like that, hundreds of terrifying sword glows, carrying monstrous Evil Qi, rushed towards the Hall Master of Longevity.

He roared repeatedly, attempting to resist.

But all of it was in vain.

As the Chaos Sword Prison fully descended, the Hall Master of Longevity was instantly bound within it, unable to move.

"Relax your mind and let me search your soul, otherwise, die!"

The Hall Master of Longevity hesitated slightly.

But in the end, the desire to survive overcame everything.

He only hesitated for a moment before relaxing his mind, allowing you to examine his memories.

Soul searching...

A moment later, your eyes narrowed.

Regarding the Sword Immortal Sect's actions, the Hall Master of Longevity only had limited knowledge.

Although the Human Race of the Xuanhuang Great World had made an agreement ten thousand years ago to prevent Lower Realm Cultivators from achieving Immortal Ascension, the main orchestrator was not the Five Great Sects, but a force called the Sky Gazing Sect.

Furthermore, only the Sword Immortal Sect had contact with the Sky Gazing Sect; the other four Great Sects merely acted for benefits.

"Sky Gazing Sect... What kind of force is this...?"

You murmured to yourself.

Although you didn't know its specific details, you vaguely felt that the old man who pursued you in the last simulation must have an intricate connection with the Sky Gazing Sect.

Year thirty.

You put aside trivial matters and began to focus solely on Cultivation.

In just ten short years, you had already refined the previous three Immortal Swords.

Although you hadn't achieved a Breakthrough in your Realm, you felt it was not far off.

Year forty.

You began to continue searching for traces of Immortal Swords.

Whether carried by other Cultivators or as inherited treasures of Sects, you could always obtain them with ease through the Law of Space.

In just a few decades, you had already collected all the Immortal Swords within the entire Human Race territory that met the requirements of the Sword Refining Art.

Your cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, quickly reaching Profound Immortal eighth layer.

However, you also encountered the same situation as Immortal Exalted Ming Jian.

That is, the cultivation gained through the Sword Refining Art was somewhat unstable, and when fighting strong opponents, it would inevitably become a hidden danger.

"This is ultimately just a side path..."

You sighed in your heart, but you were not flustered in the slightest.

Because while this might be a flaw for others, for you, it was only temporary.

As long as you maintained your Realm and entered the next simulation, your cultivation would become as solid as before.

After plundering all the Immortal Swords in the Human Race territory, you turned your attention to the foreign races.

However, compared to the Human Race, very few among them cultivated the Dao of the Sword.

And because the Law of the Sword had been occupied by Immortal Exalted Ming Jian all these years, it was difficult to reach its peak in this Dao.

Most Cultivators who achieved Breakthroughs relying on other Laws no longer focused on swordsmanship.

Only a few Heavenly Immortal and Profound Immortal foreign races were still Cultivating this Dao.

Soon, you claimed their Immortal Swords as your own.

However, the cultivation they provided was too little; you roughly estimated that you would need to refine at least ten Immortal Swords of this caliber to achieve another Breakthrough.

You began to ponder how you could acquire more Immortal Swords.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck you, and you thought of the Heavenly Wasteland Great World.

The development of the Human Race there was incomparably better than in the Xuanhuang Great World.

There must be many Sword Dao Legacies there.

Thinking of this, the image of the Heavenly Wasteland Great World immediately appeared in your mind, hoping to use Celestial Travel to teleport there.

However, the result disappointed you.

Although Celestial Travel vibrated for a while, you did not move an inch.

"What's going on? Is the distance between the Heavenly Wasteland Great World and the Xuanhuang Great World even greater than the distance between the Ancient Spirit World and the Xuanhuang Great World?"

A hint of doubt flashed in your eyes.

But then you muttered to yourself, "Never mind, I'll try again when I reach the Immortal King Realm."
