The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

Zheng!

A sword rang out!

The man in black had already fallen to the ground.

His figure began to disappear.

"Congratulations, you have passed the first level. Would you like to continue?"

A mechanical voice echoed in the void.

"Yes."

Chu Xiu said with a calm expression.

Swish!

A man in black reappeared in the void.

This man in black, still devoid of any intelligence, attacked Chu Xiu with a sword as soon as he appeared.

His swordsmanship was clearly more advanced than that of the black-clad man in the first level, making him a genius-level swordsman.

"Just as I guessed."

“Cultivation level is fixed and unchanging.”

"What has changed is the level of skill in swordsmanship."

"If the first level is just for ordinary sword cultivators at the fourth level of the Immortal Ascension Realm, then the second level can be considered for genius-level sword cultivators."

"The third level is the peerless genius level?"

Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow, moved his right hand, and the long sword in his hand was already heading towards the man in black.

It was just one sword strike.

The man in black fell to Chu Xiu's sword.

For Chu Xiu, passing the first level was simply a matter of one sword strike; he didn't even need a second one.

After all, his Heavenly Escape Sword Technique had already reached perfection.

This is the benefit of system rewards.

In a blink of an eye.

"Congratulations! You've passed the seventh level. Would you like to continue?"

A mechanical voice echoed once again in the void.

"Yes!"

Chu Xiu replied without hesitation.

He has discovered the pattern.

The strength of the sword cultivators increases several times over in each level.

The third challenge was indeed for a peerless genius, the fourth challenge for a prodigy, and the fifth challenge for a peerless prodigy.

The sixth challenge consists of two unparalleled geniuses.

The seventh challenge consists of four peerless geniuses.

According to this pattern...

The eighth level should consist of eight peerless geniuses.

The ninth challenge consists of sixteen peerless geniuses.

No wonder when the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion first appeared, only one true disciple passed the seventh level.

To be able to pass the seventh level and become a true disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, frankly speaking, one's swordsmanship talent is already incredibly strong.

Chu Xiu was able to pass the seventh level only because he possessed the perfected Heavenly Escape Sword Technique.

After all, the Heavenly Escape Sword Technique is one of the most top-tier peerless sword techniques. When such a peerless sword technique reaches perfection, its power is unimaginable.

Even four peerless geniuses could not withstand Chu Xiu's sword!

Swish!Swish!Swish!

One by one, men in black appeared around Chu Xiu and surrounded him.

Each of the men in black possessed an extremely terrifying sword intent.

To become an unparalleled genius, one must have comprehended the essence of swordsmanship.

"Huh, someone's already passed level seven and moved on to level eight so quickly?"

"This boy is extraordinary!"

Sword Elder stood in the main hall, gazing at one of the scenes. His eyes lit up, and he said with delight, "If a true disciple can emerge, then the legacy of our Myriad Swords Pavilion can be passed on."

Compared to him, everyone else is far inferior.

Even the fastest person only gets to the fifth level.

Moreover, they might not even be able to pass the fifth level.

"There really are eight!"

"Looks like I'll have to show my true skills!"

A glint of light flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes. He hadn't used the true meaning of space at all; he had only relied on the perfected Heavenly Escape Sword Technique to pass the seventh level.

"kill!"

Eight black-clad men, each possessing the power of unparalleled geniuses, spoke with chilling murderous intent, drew their swords, and charged towards Chu Xiu from different directions.

The black-clad man, a peerless genius, already possessed a certain level of intelligence.

Eight men in black attacked from different directions, forming what appeared to be a sword formation.

Under the sword formation, the strength of the eight men in black surged once again.

"interesting!"

"However, it's nothing compared to my spatial sword intent!"

Chu Xiu moved and unleashed the Heavenly Escape Sword Technique, empowered by spatial sword intent. Although it was just a single sword strike, it seemed as if countless sword lights appeared throughout the entire void.

Each sword light was like a gazelle's horn hanging from a tree, leaving no trace!

It seemed to attack the eight men in black from a completely unexpected position.

Every kind of artistic conception, when applied to swordsmanship, becomes sword intent; when applied to saber techniques, it becomes saber intent.

Ultimately, whether it's sword intent or saber intent, it's a pure state of mind.

"Is this the Heavenly Escape Sword Technique?"

"And it's the Heavenly Escape Sword Technique at its perfect state!"

"He even comprehended the spatial sword intent!"

"His spatial sword intent has reached such a profound level!"

"A genius beyond compare! This is truly a genius beyond compare!"

"He can't be stopped at the eighth level!"

"Our Myriad Swords Pavilion secret realm is finally going to have a true successor!"

After Chu Xiu passed the seventh level, Sword Elder's gaze remained fixed on this scene, ignoring all the other scenes. At this moment, his expression became excited, his voice trembled, and he said with tears of joy, "No, even if he didn't pass the ninth level..."

Once he passes the eighth trial, he will be qualified to become the master of our Myriad Swords Pavilion's secret realm!

From the moment he saw Chu Xiu draw his sword, Sword Elder already knew that none of the eight black-clad men of the same level of peerless geniuses could stop him!

really!

boom! boom! boom!

A series of loud explosions echoed throughout the void.

Eight peerless geniuses in black were instantly killed by Chu Xiu's Heavenly Escape Sword Technique.

"Congratulations! You've passed level eight. Would you like to continue?"

The mechanical voice asked Chu Xiu once again.

"Yes!"

Chu Xiu said calmly.

The words just fell!

Thirty-two men in black appeared in the void and surrounded Chu Xiu.

and!

These thirty-two men in black also formed a formation.

A sword formation!

As the number of people increased, the auras of the thirty-two men in black seemed to merge into one, as if they were one person!

"kill!"

A man in black spoke with murderous intent and charged towards Chu Xiu.

The thirty-two longswords in the hands of the thirty-two men in black seemed poised to destroy the heavens and the earth.

Despite being only at the minor completion of the fourth level of the Immortal Ascension Realm, each of them, amplified by the power of the sword formation, was like a minor completion of the fourth level of the Celestial Realm, or even surpassed a master at the minor completion of the fourth level of the Celestial Realm!

"The final strike!"

Chu Xiu smiled calmly, and two bursts of sword intent erupted from his body!

Spatial Sword Intent!

Killing intent!

He slowly raised his right hand, and two sword intents merged into the longsword in his hand. As he slashed out with his sword, there was a sense of the void being shattered!

Rumble!

A deafening roar, like thunder, resounded through the void!

All thirty-two men in black disappeared into the void.

Chu Xiu slowly sheathed the longsword in his hand and put it away.

The world before him changed once again.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Xiu returned to the main hall.

"This old servant greets his master!"

Sword Elder knelt down before Chu Xiu and bowed with utmost respect.
