126: Polite, but not much

......

【Ding!】

【Event "Ji Xuantian Cleverly Rescues Chu Tianze, Twin Prodigies Fall Off Cliff and Gain Opportunity!" ends!】

【Summary of this event: You made it impossible for Ji Xuantian to escape, allowing him to be caught by the Feng Family. You also caused Chu Tianze to be severely injured and fall unconscious with his mortal body, losing his foundation.】

【Not only did you successfully cause the two prodigies to miss the cave opportunity, but you even successfully made them bear grudges against each other. Your performance is commendable.】

【Performance Reward: Collapse Value +100!】

The light screen in front of him quickly disappeared.

Lin Sheng shook his head, feeling a momentary sympathy for the two protagonists' plight.

He then happily opened the system interface and looked at his current Collapse Value—

560!

"Not bad, I can level up five stages consecutively."

"And now I am a True Immortal eighth stage. If I continue to level up and break through the Immortal Master realm, I will also encounter heavenly tribulation..."

He looked up at the distant sky, seeing that the distant heavenly tribulation had gradually dissipated.

And in that part of the sky, a magnificent giant sword, resplendent with golden light, was suspended in the air, exuding a tyrannical and overwhelming aura like that of an emperor in all directions!

The Human Emperor Sword...

That old sword spirit was forced out of his true form by the heavenly tribulation...

Lin Sheng could already vaguely feel that several unfathomable presences existed in the void that they could not see.

Clearly.

Among the immortal powerhouses attracted by the heavenly tribulation, many had already discovered that a divine sword was undergoing tribulation. Perhaps, they were all thinking about how to make it their own...

'When this Human Emperor Sword spirit came out, he was in a severely injured state, and his cultivation had not reached its peak.'

'Now that he is breaking through in this state, what level has his cultivation reached?'

'Immortal King? Or Immortal Venerable?'

Lin Sheng's doubts were soon answered.

Just as he stood up, the golden giant sword in the distant sky suddenly transformed back into the figure of the golden-robed old man, the sword spirit.

The other party laughed heartily, his voice seemingly echoing throughout the four seas and eight wildernesses.

"Hahaha."

"Immortal Venerable realm, I've done it!!"

"Hahahahaha...!"

Swish!

A flash of golden light flew over. By the time Lin Sheng reacted, the golden-robed old man in front of him had already bowed deeply to him.

"This old man thanks the Holy Son for his guidance!"

"In the future, should the Holy Son have need of this old man, this old man will traverse the nine heavens and ten earths to rush to the Holy Son's side to repay this kindness!"

The moment he broke through to the Immortal Venerable realm, his thoughts became clear.

He knew exactly who had helped him without needing to ask anyone.

Lin Sheng smiled and helped him up, saying, "Immortal Venerable, you exaggerate. I merely spoke casually. That you could achieve enlightenment is mainly because you had this opportunity."

"I just don't know, have you chosen a name for yourself?"

He was mainly polite, but not excessively so.

The Human Emperor Sword spirit stroked his white beard, smiling gratefully.

If any other True Immortal dared to address him so informally, he would have been beaten long ago, but his benefactor was an exception.

"As a sword spirit, I originally had no name."

"But now I have begun a new life, so from now on, I will be called... Saint Sword Spirit. I will add my benefactor's name before it to show eternal gratitude."

Saint Sword Spirit...

Lin Sheng couldn't compliment his naming ability and forced a smile.

But suddenly!

The Saint Sword Spirit's expression slightly changed, and his gaze sharply turned towards the western sky.

There, a handsome young man wearing a blue robe, with narrowed eyes and a smiling face, stepped through the wind, gently treading on a branch.

A red string was tied around his waist, with a small, antique bronze sword hanging from the end.

Heart Sword Immortal Exalted!

Lin Sheng recognized him at a glance; the other party was the Supreme Old Ancestor of "Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect," one of the nine great Immortal Sects.

A great figure who was renowned throughout the world eighteen thousand years ago!

In the original work, he was set as a "powerful ally." Every time he appeared, he would bring a lot of help to the protagonist group. He was the " Free and Easy Swordsman" (Carefree Sword Immortal) in the hearts of the Heavenly Mandated Protagonists.

A pure good guy.

"I am Heart Sword Immortal Exalted of the Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect. If this fellow immortal doesn't mind, you can come with me to the Immortal Sect's Sword Pool. There are many famous swords there with abundant sword qi, which can not only stabilize your cultivation but perhaps also enhance your sword dao," Heart Sword Immortal Exalted said with a smile.

His fair cheeks were as warm and smooth as jade, and his blue long hair danced in the wind.

Those who didn't know might think he had other intentions.

But Lin Sheng knew that the other party genuinely thought so.

"Hehe, no need to trouble your esteemed sect."

The Saint Sword Spirit clearly didn't believe that good things would come knocking for no reason. He waved his hand slightly, clearly refusing, "I have my own plans."

"Are you really not going? What a pity."

Heart Sword Immortal Exalted shook his head, his narrowed eyes making it impossible to see his gaze.

He still maintained his smile, only sighing, "I can sense that you carry a large amount of Human Clan destiny. I heard that in the ancient era, there was an Immortal Court, and the successive emperors of the Immortal Court inherited a Human Emperor Sword."

"Are you... that Human Emperor Sword?"

Before the old sword spirit could answer, a loud roar suddenly came from the northern sky.

Boom!

Then, before everyone's astonished eyes, a massive black vortex, about a hundred meters high, suddenly appeared!

"Heheheh."

"So, the Human Emperor Sword is here..."

When this voice, which seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell, was heard, the world instantly darkened.

It was as if all light had been absorbed by that giant vortex.

The sky was covered by black clouds, and cold, evil winds howled fiercely.

Seeing this sudden change, and then seeing a giant cloaked figure, about a hundred meters tall, emerging slowly from the giant vortex, wearing a black cloak with golden patterns, holding a skull scepter, and hiding his face and body in the darkness,

Lin Sheng's pupils suddenly contracted violently, and his heart pounded!

Damn it!!?

How did he come!!?

—The Demon Clan Great Priest!!

The two people Lin Sheng least wanted to meet right now were Eastern Hao Immortal Emperor of the Golden Sea Immortal Court and the Demon Clan Great Priest before him!

Both of them not only possessed the ability to see through the Demon God Bloodline with a glance, but they were also both in the Immortal Emperor realm!

Impossible to resist!

'I wonder what stage the bloodline fusion within me has reached now...'

'I hope he didn't sense it...'

Lin Sheng could only hope for this now.

He hadn't expected that the Human Emperor Sword could attract this person. Wasn't he recuperating?

Hmm?

Could it be... he wants to absorb this Human Clan destiny to speed up his recovery?

Lin Sheng slightly frowned.

The Demon Clan Great Priest was loyal to the Demon Clan, but not to the Demon God. He had always harbored the idea of taking revenge on the Human Clan and restoring the Demon Clan.

Strictly speaking, he stood on the opposite side of Lin Sheng!

After all, Lin Sheng was completely uninterested in restoring the Demon Clan or starting any great war. If the other party saw through him, the other party would definitely kill him.

This would allow the Demon God Bloodline to choose a new master.

All sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind. He turned his head and scanned the surroundings, finding that because they had been avoiding the heavenly tribulation just now, the ground and air around were filled with cultivators, like a mountain and a sea.

Everyone's expressions were either astonished, curious, puzzled, or terrified......
