Born with immortal seed

Chapter 836 Supreme Sword Master's Dao Body
"Gentlemen, I am honored to be the Sword Master of this generation. Today, I will not compete with you for the flying sword, but only ask for the opportunity left by our elders."

Qin Wulie's voice was surprisingly soft and gentle, which was quite different from his appearance.

"Our sect obtained flying swords from the furnace of sword cultivators in the forbidden immortal realm. We wish that all sword cultivators in the world may attain the Dao and make progress together."

"However, this opportunity was left by an elder using his personal resources and has nothing to do with the sect, so it cannot be opened to you all. Please forgive me."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than someone impatiently said, "Sword Master is benevolent and righteous, the Lord of Ten Thousand Swords of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion. Why would he need to inform us of such a matter? Anyone who harbors resentment because of this will be the first to be punished by Old Qiu!"

"Exactly! The Heaven-Opening Sword Furnace is originally the property of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, so it is only natural for them to take something from it!"

The cheers and applause filled the air, creating a lively atmosphere.

Half of them are vassals of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, so naturally they have to speak up for them.

The remaining half also knew that it was impossible to compete with the Heavenly Sword Pavilion for food in the Seven Treasures Immortal Realm.

In addition, the actions of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion are highly popular among sword cultivators, and they never hold back their own knowledge.

The library is extensive, and all requests, except for the fundamental techniques, will be granted.

Teaching is open to all, regardless of background; anyone with a passion for swordsmanship can receive instruction.

That sycophantic cultivator was somewhat right. If any sword sect in the Immortal Realm could truly deserve the title of Lord of Ten Thousand Swords, it would be the Heavenly Sword Pavilion.

Those aspiring to the path of swordsmanship from the nine immortal realms flocked to the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, as if on a pilgrimage.

Even throughout the myriad realms, the reputation of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion has spread.

Qin Wulie's posture seemed to have convinced the sword cultivators present.

Aside from flattery, no one stood up to offer any opinions.

Even if they had ideas in mind, not to mention that there were quite a few disciples of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion in the arena, who could be confident of defeating this peerless swordsman?

Shang Heng had subdued the nine Great Demon-Subduing Silver Needles and stored them in a snow-white jade box, only now able to spare some energy.

Looking at Qin Wulie in the sky, his eyes flickered, wanting to say something but hesitating.

"I've always heard of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion in the Six Blessings Immortal Realm. They say it's a holy land of swordsmanship, revered by all cultivators. But after seeing it today, it's nothing special!"

A childish voice came from the crowd, startling the group of sword cultivators who parted to make way for the speaker.

"If you're unwilling to open the Heaven-Opening Sword Furnace to the public, then don't wave the banner of a sect that claims to uphold the great unity of swordsmanship and strive for shared glory... Trying to have your cake and eat it too will only attract a few disciples from our sect!"

Before Qin Wulie could react, an enraged disciple of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion roared, "Where did this madman come from, daring to spout such nonsense here!"

"Six seas of the Six Blessings Immortal Realm, three elders on the Three Immortal Islands... Lu Yunji of the Three Immortal Islands came here to pay homage to the sacred place in his heart, but he was greatly disappointed!"

The one who stepped out of the crowd was a young swordsman, exuding a vibrant youthful aura, his hands empty.

Behind him followed an elderly man in his eighties, carrying three strange and ancient flying swords, which were clearly not ordinary objects.

"So you're a top disciple from the Three Immortal Islands..."

Qin Wulie's eyes twitched as his gaze locked onto the excessively young-looking cultivator.

Over 90% of the Six Blessings Immortal Realm is ocean, with islands scattered throughout, which means that no top-tier power exists in this immortal realm.

However, countless islands harbor many powerful individuals.

The three island lords of the Three Immortal Islands are among the best.

Legend has it that they have a deep connection with the Daoist court. All three are at the late stage of the Integration Realm, but they only have a handful of disciples and are not well known to the outside world.

As a swordsman of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, he was naturally well-versed in this kind of information.

“It’s not that our sect is heartless and unwilling to share this opportunity, but rather that the opportunity left by our elders has extremely high requirements for future generations. Those who do not meet the requirements can only waste it… Since a fellow Daoist has offered his opinion, then fine, we will open a door.”

Reputation is an asset most of the time, but it can also become a constraint that limits one's abilities.

Qin Wulie remained calm, his black Daoist robe fluttering as he said, "I stand here, and anyone who can make me take a step back with a single move is qualified to enter. If you have that strength, you won't waste the kindness of our elders if you encounter an opportunity in the Sword Furnace."

These words shut down all possible points of attack, leaving no room for further criticism.

"Qin Jianzi has quite the spirit! Let me, your humble servant, measure him up and see just how good the youngest swordsman in the history of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion really is!"

Lu Yunji's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward as if afraid the other party would change their mind.

Although Qin Wulie has no outstanding battle record, the fact that Tianjian Pavilion has elevated him to such a high position suggests that it's not just for show.

Furthermore, judging from the behavior of the disciples in the pavilion, not a single one of them disagreed, indicating that they must be extraordinary individuals.

Lu Yunji's willingness to accept the offer so decisively demonstrates his confidence in himself.

He spread his hands, and the old man behind him, who was bent over like a shrimp, handed over the three flying swords he was holding.

With a long, slender crimson sword in hand, Lu Yunji's aura surged, rising from the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm to the middle stage.

Another short-handled jade sword, and he directly climbed to the late stage of the Void Refinement realm.

Until finally, a thin, gray sword was drawn, as thin as a piece of iron, yet it gave him the imposing aura of someone at the peak of the Void Refinement stage.

In terms of cultivation level, he was actually on par with Qin Wulie, no wonder he dared to draw his sword against him.

"The Three Swords of Fortune, Prosperity and Longevity... It seems that you have deeply mastered the true teachings of the Three Immortals. Regardless of victory or defeat, you have gained a lot from today's battle."

Qin Wulie slowly drew his long sword, its segments distinct and brimming with pure energy; it was none other than the Nine Heavens Righteous Sword, the symbol of the sword.

Once outside the Six Blessings Immortal Realm, few people know about the Three Immortal Islands.

Lu Yunji's name was completely unknown.

As the designated successor of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, he was well aware of the identities of the three island lords on the Three Immortal Islands.

This family is not well-known simply because they recruit very few disciples and rarely travel to the Immortal Realm.

The three swords of fortune, prosperity, and longevity sever the path to good fortune, prosperity, and longevity.

In the notes of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion's high-ranking members, it was listed as one of the top ten sword techniques in the Earthly Immortal Realm, which is truly terrifying.

"Today, let the world know that the Heavenly Sword Pavilion is not the only one in the world of swordsmanship!"

Lu Yunji let out a loud shout, raised his three swords simultaneously, and slashed at the target.

No matter who it is, being rejected by the three blessings of fortune, prosperity, and longevity is an end that Heaven and Earth will despise.

It's no longer a contest of exquisite sword techniques or the strength of true energy; it's a struggle for the Great Dao.

"Well done!"

Qin Wulie showed no fear; on the contrary, he seemed eager to try.

He knew from a young age that he was very strong, and that his swordsmanship talent was unparalleled throughout history. In the Pavilion where geniuses were everywhere, only a handful of people in the history books could compare to him.

But exactly where its strengths lie, and to what extent, has never been a clear concept.

Learning from past mistakes, those who were too well protected by their sect elders never had a chance to fight against equally matched enemies.

According to Qin Wulie's master, truly exceptional swordsmanship talent does not require progress through actual combat or growth through sword sparring.

Quietly cultivating oneself, one can also become a king among swordsmen.

The Nine Heavens Sword slashed forward, and a dazzling sword light drew an arc, forming an indestructible defensive line.

At the same time, a huge Dharma image rose up behind him, with his hands forming a sword incantation and his face devoid of emotion or desire.

The three swords of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity wobbled and became uncontrollable, flying out crookedly and landing in front of the formation like weary birds returning to their cages.

Only the unparalleled sword light continued to advance, clashing with the Nine Heavens Sword. The impact caused him to sway and take a small step back.

"The Fu Lu Shou Sword Intent truly lives up to its reputation as a legendary divine power of the Heavenly Emperor. You have won this battle, fellow Daoist. Please enter the sword furnace."

Qin Wulie stepped aside, making way for the Heaven-Opening Sword Furnace.

Lu Yunji silently picked up the three swords from the ground. His aura returned to the early stage of the Void Refinement realm. He was dejected and shocked, showing no joy at defeating the Sword Master of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion.

One could even detect a deep sense of fear deep within the pupils.

The defeated were not discouraged; they remained calm and composed.

The victor is not arrogant, but looks like he has suffered a major setback.

The atmosphere between the two players on the field was heavy and awkward.

The onlookers were all confused, unable to understand what was happening.

"Supreme Sword Venerable Dao Body! After all these years, the Heavenly Sword Pavilion has produced such a figure again... This time, we will not be as careless as before, and let our own prodigy perish halfway."

Shang Heng saw it all clearly, and his heart was in turmoil, unable to calm down.

This is the legendary Dao Body, the highest talent for sword cultivators, born to be the master of ten thousand swords.

The attraction of flying swords cannot be explained by common sense.

For a Core Formation cultivator, getting a fifth-tier flying sword to pledge allegiance to them is nothing special; on the battlefield, they can even make an opponent's already refined flying sword turn against them and join their side.

Flying swords of the same level corresponding to one's cultivation can be summoned and dismissed at will.

That's exactly what happened. Lu Yunji's three flying swords were summoned by the Supreme Sword Master's Dharma Image and immediately abandoned their master and left.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the first sword strike forced Qin Wulie to take a half step back; as the battle progressed, it became a one-sided affair.

How can a swordsman who has lost his most reliable divine weapon on the battlefield and is forced to use other means to fight his enemies possibly win?

Lu Yunji realized this, understanding that no matter how strong his swordsmanship was, it was still so weak and insignificant in front of the Supreme Sword Venerable's Dao Body, which shocked him so much that he couldn't speak for a long time.

This battle may seem like a victory, but in reality, it was a complete and utter defeat.

If one's resolve is not firm enough, one will never be able to escape the shadow of today for the rest of one's life.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the Heavenly Sword Pavilion also produced a peerless swordsman who could summon enemy flying swords during battle. However, it seems that he disappeared not long after advancing to the Integration stage, leaving behind few traces.

The Yixin Sword Sect, being both located in the Seven Treasures Immortal Realm and having experienced the events firsthand, had records passed down to them.

Looking at the Supreme Sword Master's Dharma Image in the distance, Shang Heng completely gave up the idea of ​​going forward to try.

The Supreme Being is ruthless, and the Sword Master's image is also ruthless in the Great Dao.

The sword of the heart can only harm oneself, not the enemy.

……

After a long while, Lu Yunji composed himself, bowed, and turned to leave without saying a word.

After obtaining the qualification, he instead showed disdain for the Heaven-Opening Sword Furnace.

He did it to gain fame among sword cultivators and to damage the reputation of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, not because he truly desired the opportunity within the Heavenly Sword Furnace.

The direct descendants of the Three Immortals Island number less than ten, and Lu Yunji is the most valued among them, so he can't get any cultivation resources.

This trip shattered the illusion of his invincibility among sword cultivators of the same level. He was struck down by the swordsman of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion and naturally did not want to stay any longer.

"Does anyone else wish to come up and try?"

Qin Wulie watched this scene with a slight smile, as if he had accomplished a trivial task.
