Maximum Comprehension: Taking Care of Swords In A Sword Pavilion

Heavenly Beads appeared one after another.

The pale golden Heavenly Beads, each as large as a chicken egg, floated in the air with an animated grace.

This time, Han Muye saw it very clearly.

Actually, those heavenly demon beasts were not real demon beasts; they were simply products nurtured by the rules of space and time.

At the moment when their bodies were sliced apart, all illusions perished, revealing the Heavenly Beads within.

They were not real creatures, yet they were stronger than living beings.

“Creation…”

The Power of Creation.

A glint of enlightenment shone in Han Muye’s eyes.

To reach the Level of Creation was truly difficult.

From the convergence of the Myriad Domains, layer upon layer of Origin accumulates, yet the third-grade heavenly demon beasts have not become real living beings.

Such strong third-grade heavenly demon beasts have not yet reached the level of living beings.

Just how powerful does one need to be to be considered a living being?

Creating life is indeed a forbidden area for the cultivators of this world.

Then, are second-grade or first-grade heavenly demon beasts created living beings?

Outside the pasture, everyone watched with gaping mouths as the blood-colored light column continuously revolved.

One after another, the powerful third-grade heavenly demon beasts were torn to shreds, turning into Heavenly Beads.

When the blood-colored light column dissipated, besides the Heavenly Beads, there was nothing left.

“Hum—”

The blood-colored light column vibrated and transformed into a crimson long sword that slashed toward the void ahead.

In the void, a second-grade heavenly demon beast, leading countless third-grade, fourth-grade, and fifth-grade demon beast hordes, charged forward.

The crimson long sword met the demon beast horde head-on and sliced through, its sword light spanning twenty thousand miles across heaven and earth.

“Roar—”

The leading second-grade heavenly demon beast roared, its body solidifying into gold, with a golden horn on its head charging at the sword light.

The countless heavenly demon beasts behind it emitted a demon light from their bodies, merging with the power of the second-grade heavenly demon beast in front.

A phantom of a heavenly demon beast with a hundred-thousand-zhang-tall body emerged.

A first-rank heavenly demon beast!

A force surpassing that of Immortal Sovereigns!

This was the power of a first-grade heavenly demon beast!

When this phantom emerged, all the cultivators in the entire Lingxiao Domain who had not reached the Immortal Lord realm became rigid.

It was the dual suppression of bloodline power and Rule Power.

This suppressing force was stronger than what Han Muye had used earlier to annihilate those third-grade heavenly demon beasts.

With just a thought, all the cultivators below the rank of Immortal Lord throughout the entire Lingxiao Domain could perish.

In the past, every time a first-rank heavenly demon beast appeared, they mobilized the power of the entire continent to resist.

But this time, not only had the upper third-grade Heavenly Continents not fused, but even those in the process of ascending had not unified.

In this situation, could the Lingxiao Domain alone stave off a first-grade heavenly demon beast?

At this moment, whether it was Chen Shaodong or someone within Daqinei, or even Daoist Dayan not far away, all wore solemn expressions.

This was the disparity.

When truly facing the top heavenly demon beasts, it was not a matter of piling up numbers to resist.

No matter how many ants, they cannot shake the mountains and dragons.

Without equal combat strength at the same level, one absolutely couldn’t block a first-rank heavenly demon beast.

“Boom—”

The illusory body of the first-rank heavenly demon beast collided with the blood-colored sword light that Han Muye had struck.

The body of the heavenly demon beast shook and then slowly dissipated.

The sword light also paused briefly before erupting into shatters.

“That’s not a first-rank…”

From afar in the sky, someone breathed a sigh of relief.

If someone could really slay a first-rank heavenly demon beast, what would be the point of the Contend of Ten Thousand Realms?

“I really thought they could challenge a first-rank heavenly demon beast.” Someone murmured with a soft chuckle in the distance, from within the upper third-rank Great Realm.

It was only half a step to first-rank, which was completely different from a true first-rank.

Those who could take action and annihilate a first-rank heavenly demon beast were the real superpowers.

“The Lingxiao Sword Sect is still far off,” someone snorted coldly, their eyes gleaming with battle intent.

The void trembled, and countless streams of Cloudlight sparkled, exploding.

The blood-colored sword light gathered again, and the second-grade heavenly demon beast turned and fled, rushing into the void.

Other Heavenly Demonic Beasts that couldn’t dodge in time were directly cut to pieces by the sword light.

For a moment, the falling Heavenly Beads were like stars.

These Heavenly Beads converged into a galaxy, flying toward a particular direction.

That was the direction of Lingxiao Sword Sect.

With the slaying of this group of Heavenly Demonic Beasts, twenty Continent Domains began to fuse.

In the distance, three Continent Domains began to collide.

Figures rushed out, heading towards the converging twenty Continent Domains.

“Find Nine Mysteries City and defend it,” Huang Zhihu led the disciples of the Nine Mystic Sword Sect out of the Upper Third Grade area and toward the converging heaven and earth.

More forces rushed out, heading towards the twenty merging domains.

This was a life or death collision, without any fanciness.

The twenty Continent Domains collided and overlapped, visible to the naked eye, a vast new realm was forming.

Outside this newly forming Continent Domain, countless Heavenly Demonic Beasts gathered densely.

And the figures of cultivators had already converged.

Everyone was waiting, waiting for the moment when this realm would open.

Once the realm took shape, it would be the time for all the strong from all sides and these Heavenly Demonic Beasts to impact this new world.

——————————

A magnificent hall.

In the hall, an elderly man in his fifties, dressed in a green robe and with a solemn face, slowly lifted his head.

A faint sword Dao halo flickered on him.

The elder’s gaze fell upon the distant sky, his eyes revealing profound spiritual light.

“Gentlemen, I must go,” the elder murmured as he stood up.

At these words, the numerous cultivators in the hall, whether seated or standing, were stunned.

“Brother Qin, our Longevity Alliance has not easily reached this step; you have made significant contributions, why leave now?” a burly man in black armor stood up, looking at the green-robed elder and called out in a low voice.

“Yes, Brother Qin, your mastery of the Sword Dao and Confucian Path is unparalleled and your insights profound; we all admire you. We formed the Longevity Alliance not to compete with outsiders but to study and cultivate the Path of Longevity. Why are you leaving?” On the other side, an elder in white robes also spoke up.

Everyone in the hall looked anxious.

This Hall of Longevity was established by people with similar interests after entering the Arena of Ten Thousand Domains.

They were all powerful, with each person at least possessing the strength of an Immortal Lord, and with no desire to fight for fame or profit, they only wanted to share their cultivation experiences with one another.

Qin Suyang, who stood before them, not only had profound sword cultivation, but his mastery of Confucian cultivation techniques was inscrutable, and his broad knowledge had won everyone’s admiration.

It could be said that Qin Suyang was one of the core figures of the Hall of Longevity.

If he were to leave, half of the Hall of Longevity would be gone.

“I came from Nine Mysteries City, given the current situation, I naturally must return,” Qin Suyang said quietly, his eyes shining brightly.

“Nine Mysteries City? Brother Qin, didn’t you say you were from the Nine Mystic Sword Sect and that the Contend of Ten Thousand Realms wouldn’t require your effort?” One scholar in long robes furrowed his brows upon hearing Qin Suyang’s words.

“Nine Mystic Sword Sect, Nine Mysteries City,” a middle-aged man in green-gray armor’s eyes flickered with shock as he looked up at the Heavenly List in the sky, “Are these two related by the same origin?”

A single great force, two sharing the same origin.

Such a situation was not unheard of in the Arena of Ten Thousand Realms.

However, after the leading cultivators of their own sects were drawn away, the disciples left behind could raise the sect to a place on the Heavenly List, even to a high position – this was nothing short of a miracle.

Everyone looked at Qin Suyang, falling silent for a moment.

They understood Qin Suyang’s meaning.

Most of them were in a similar situation to Qin Suyang’s.

Either their origins were from an immensely powerful sect or from an obscure one. In any case, they felt their sects did not need them, or that their forces would not enter the final contest, so they chose to form this Hall of Longevity on their own.

Now Qin Suyang’s situation was that he had not expected the younger generation of his sect to be able to lead the remaining sect members onto the Heavenly List.

Now, Qin Suyang was preparing to return and help the younger generation defend.

“Ha ha, Brother Qin, I wonder if Nine Mysteries City would welcome an alchemist to defend the city?” An elder in long robes with a faint red face stood up, laughing as he spoke.

His words made Qin Suyang’s eyes light up.

“If needed, I can also defend the city,” another scholar said aloud.

In the hall, figures stood up, looking towards Qin Suyang.

Qin Suyang laughed heartily and bowed with his hands: “If the gentlemen could go to Nine Mysteries City, I assure you there will be unexpected opportunities.”

His eyes sparkled as he lowered his voice, “I suspect Minister Han will definitely go to Nine Mysteries City.”

“Is he the one you mentioned, the Sword Immortal who went from a mortal to the peak of cultivation in a thousand years?”

“Is it the same person you said whose Sword Dao and Confucian Dao both impressed you, even surpassing you in alchemy?”

“It’s the Void Sword Immortal you spoke of, who with the strength of one man, shattered the banners of Immortal Deities, and proclaimed, ‘Between heaven and earth, I alone wield the sword’?”

In the hall, a chorus of eager exclamations arose.

Qin Suyang laughed heartily, his form shifted, and he turned into a streak of sword light, flickering away.

The others in the hall exchanged glances and followed, soaring into the sky.

Their destination was Nine Mysteries City.
