I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

Xuantian Sect, Inner Region.

Tongtian Zifu.

The inner region not only has the sacred mountain where the true disciples reside, but also the Purple Mansion of the Supreme Elders.

Zifu, a small world.

The Heavenly Purple Mansion is the world of the Supreme Elder Xuan Yuan.

The Supreme Elders of the Xuan generation almost never use their real names; they are the true pillars of the Xuantian Sect.

Xuan Yuan was the former Master of Tongtian Peak.

The current master of Tongtian Peak, and Luo Tiandu's grand-uncle.

At this moment, his Purple Mansion was bustling with activity.

Inside the magnificent palace stood the Peak Master of Tongtian Peak, the Peak Master of Wanjian Peak, and two Supreme Elders.

"Tiandu, since Shen Ming is a sword cultivator, let's leave him to Wanjian Peak."

Xuan Yuan appears to be a kind and gentle old man.

Luo Tiandu knew that this grandmaster uncle had an even more fiery temper than him when he was young.

Back then, the demonic path laid a trap to ensnare and kill the confidante of their grandmaster's uncle.

The grandmaster, single-handedly, broke through the encirclement of the demonic forces, rescuing his beloved, a feat that became a legend in the Northern Region.

Such a ruthless person turned out to be kind and gentle in his old age.

“Grandmaster Uncle, Shen Ming is not primarily a sword cultivator; his original true energy is no weaker than that of geniuses with special talents,” Luo Tiandu said.

He already knew about what happened at Xiaoyao Peak today.

The minor squabbles between disciples are not worth mentioning.

The key point is that during the battle, Shen Ming completely neutralized the Tai Xu Gang Qi that Ji Tian unleashed.

It should be noted that the Ji family's Taixu Gangqi is extremely powerful and cannot be broken by any method. It avoids the real and attacks the empty, and also avoids the empty and attacks the real.

When Shen Mingjian's swords clashed, the collision should have resulted in a shock and a tearing force.

However, Shen Ming dissolved it with his original true energy!

This is something that ordinary sword cultivators cannot do!

“You don’t know what kind of primordial true energy he cultivates, nor do you know how to nurture it,” said Xie Tianjian, the master of Ten Thousand Swords Peak.

"It's enough that Elder Xu knows," Luo Tiandu said.

The Transmission Elder does not belong to any particular spiritual peak and is considered neutral.

This is also why Luo Tian hasn't made any statement since Shen Ming became a true disciple; he believes the transmission elder has his own arrangements.

"It has been a long time since two peak masters have competed like this for a single true disciple."

Another elder present chuckled.

He was emaciated, his loose robes looked like they were hanging on a rack, his cheeks were sunken, but his eyes were bright and dazzling.

Mysterious Sword!

Thank you, Master Xie Tianjian!

These days, Xie Tianjian has been trying to win over Shen Ming, but Luo Tiandu is interfering, so he has no choice but to ask his master to intervene.

Elders of the Xuan generation are not people you can see whenever you want.

Xie Tianjian started sending messages half a month ago, but we only met today.

Upon hearing that a disciple had caused the Xuan Tian Sword to manifest extraordinary phenomena and had attained enlightenment on the sword path before the stone tablet in the Heavenly Demon Battlefield, Xuan Jian immediately brought Xie Tian Sword to visit Xuan Yuan, hoping to persuade the Tongtian Peak Master to release the person.

Xuan Yuan was very easy to talk to. As soon as he heard about this, he summoned Luo Tiandu, which led to the conversation we just had.

“Tiandu, whether it’s Tongtian Peak or Wanjian Peak, they are all disciples of the Xuantian Sect. There’s no need to hurt their feelings,” Xuan Yuan said.

Even with his grandmaster saying so, Luo Tian had no way to resolve the situation.

Xie Tianjian's face lit up with a long-lost smile, as if he had won a battle.

"Then thank you very much, old friend. We'll take our leave now." Xuan Jian was satisfied and left Tongtian Purple Mansion with Luo Tiandu.

Seeing Luo Tiandu's ever-changing expression, Xuan Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Is that disciple really that outstanding? Better than your son, Luo Cheng?"

"Grandmaster Uncle, that disciple wants to compete for the position of Divine Child. Together with Luo Cheng, that would make them the Two Heroes of the Heavens!" Luo Tiandu said.

"You are still too young. Your grandmaster has seen far too many geniuses. Back in that era, I could only barely be considered a second-rate genius. But those first-rate geniuses who have made it this far can be counted on one hand."

Too many people are just flashes in the pan, not worth the effort.

Xuanjian is a powerful sword cultivator. Doing him a favor will earn you my gratitude in the future.

"Alright, it's almost my turn to guard the Demon Suppression Tower. I need to start preparing. You can go back now."

Luo Tian sighed inwardly. No matter what one's status or what one has experienced, people tend to become stubborn as they get older.

As one of the top ten sects in the Northern Region, Xuantian Sect has seen countless geniuses over the past few hundred years.

During the conversation just now, the grandmaster didn't ask the disciple's name, clearly because he didn't want to bother remembering it.

However, Luo Tiandu had a gut feeling.

Shen Ming is extraordinary!

Although both Tongtian and Wanjian are disciples of the Xuantian Sect.

But if it involves a struggle for divine children, that's a different story.

Whichever lineage's disciple becomes a divine child, that lineage will benefit.

Unfortunately, Luo Tian was helpless. He wanted to say, "Old Deng, you'll regret letting such a prodigy go."

If he were to actually say it, he'd probably get a beating.

……

"That old fellow Xuan Yuan is very shrewd. This favor will be hard to repay in the future. I hope that Shen Ming is as capable as you say."

Xuanjian was also worried about making a bad deal.

“Master, come with me to Xiaoyao Peak, and you will know for sure,” Xie Tianjian said.

"No."

Xuan Jian smiled and shook his head, "Kings don't meet. No matter which sword path he comprehends, he has no affinity with my sword path."

Kendo represents inheritance.

Xie Tianjian felt a little regretful; otherwise, Shen Ming would not only have become Wan Jianfeng's disciple, but also his junior brother.

……

"I've become a disciple of Ten Thousand Swords Peak?"

At Xiaoyao Peak, Shen Ming was completely baffled upon receiving the news.

He had previously thought that the sword cultivators of Wanjian Peak were a bunch of pretentious show-offs.

Now things are much better; he has become a sword cultivator disciple.

Shen Ming never considered himself a pure sword cultivator.

Sword cultivators break through realms and attain the Dao through the sword.

During the selection of true disciples, he comprehended the way of the sword in front of the stone wall and directly broke through the seventh profound barrier.

This is how you break through barriers with a sword!

But, only once, he mainly cultivated a boundless true qi.

Of course, Shen Ming didn't have much aversion to or look down on sword cultivators; he simply believed that his core talent was greater than his talent in swordsmanship.

As for his swordsmanship talent, it remains outstanding; it's just that the disciples of Wanjian Peak are disappointing.

If these words were to get out, all the disciples of Wanjian Peak would be spitting blood.

Soon, Shen Ming stopped worrying about it. As long as it didn't affect his competition for the Divine Child, it didn't matter which lineage the disciple belonged to.

Moreover, Wanjian Peak is much more generous than Tongtian Peak, and gave him a Heaven-level spiritual sword!

Shen Ming named it the Mingxin Sword, while the original Earth-grade Mingxin Sword was kept in his storage bag as a spare.

The sword's name remains unchanged, but the sword itself is ever-changing.

This is also one of the reasons why Shen Ming felt that he was not a pure sword cultivator.

Other sword cultivators wouldn't be able to do such a thing; they would consider it a desecration.

With a Heavenly-grade spiritual sword in hand, Shen Ming was not in a hurry to practice swordsmanship.

Breaking through the second realm of the innate stage brings about a qualitative change in everything.

During his fight with Ji Tian, ​​he discovered that the Limitless True Qi could be further refined.

Therefore, Shen Ming decided to challenge the Demon Suppression Tower!
