Chapter 1096 Haoyu is number one, and his reputation is well-deserved!
"The Sword Saint is here! The Sword Saint is here!"
"Is this the Sword Saint? I've grown up hearing the legends of the Sword Saint since I was a child. Now I can finally see the Sword Saint's true face with my own eyes. I have no regrets in dying, no regrets in dying! Hahahaha!"
"What level has the Sword Saint reached? I can't sense the slightest fluctuation of his aura. In fact, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought there was no one there at all."
"Is this the number one person in Haoyu?"
"Too strong, too strong. Just by appearing there, the five supreme beings dared not make any rash moves and were all extremely vigilant. With such strength, I wonder if I will ever have such an opportunity in this lifetime?"
"..."
A person's name, the shadow of a tree.
As the number one person in Haoyu, the mere appearance of the Sword Saint caused a sensation among everyone present. Even the five supreme beings, including the Immaculate Zen Master, changed their expressions and dared not make any rash moves.
Gu Xiu had met the Sword Saint and even received guidance from him, but after five hundred years, even the black-robed Gu Xiu, who always considered himself superior, couldn't help but turn around and look at him.
This was an extremely refined-looking old man. Judging from his features, he must have been just as handsome as me when he was young. Even now that he was old, he still possessed a very special and unique temperament.
Gu Xiu, dressed in black, thought for a long time before figuring out the best way to describe the other person's temperament.
no!
Yes, it's nothing.
It is not nothingness, but a kind of "nothingness" where "all things return to stillness and all phenomena are empty".
He stood there, seemingly at the end of all rules, his three-zhang-wide body seemingly forming its own world, isolating him from all the noise, energy, and even cause and effect of the mortal world.
So much so that the lower one's cultivation level, the more approachable he seemed. But the higher one's cultivation level, the more frantic the warnings in their heart, as if they were staring at a human-shaped abyss that could devour everything!
Coincidentally.
As Gu Xiu observed the other party, Sword Saint Yin Ruozhuo's gaze also turned towards him. His gaze was very gentle, like an elder checking on his junior. However, it was this gaze that made the arrogance and conceit in the black-robed Gu Xiu's heart completely subside.
He was terrified, because he felt as if all his secrets were exposed to the gaze of the other person.
Whether it was the cultivation he had achieved in his own world, or the true self he had come to see.
It seemed that he could see through everything at a glance.
"Everyone says that Fellow Daoist Yin is the number one person in the vast universe. I have always wanted to learn from you, but I have not been able to. Now that the opportunity has come, I wonder if I have the chance to test the methods of Fellow Daoist Yin, a pioneer?" At this moment, someone spoke up.
That was one of the five supreme beings on Master Wugou's side, and also a god-lord of a dynasty called Tianqi.
Before, the Tianqi Divine Dynasty was just a mortal kingdom called Daqi, which was at war every year. But then a rogue cultivator came and became the national advisor. He began to lead Daqi step by step to fight his way out of the surrounding kingdoms. After that, he led Daqi to become a kingdom of cultivators. After a thousand years of development, it gradually grew into a powerful nation.
This rogue national advisor eventually succeeded in advancing to the Supreme Realm and became the God Lord, renaming the Great Qi Dynasty as the Heavenly Revelation Divine Dynasty. From then on, he was known as the Heavenly Revelation God Lord, a renowned and skilled war god emperor.
However, this person is extremely low-key and rarely interacts with others. It was unexpected that he would ask to spar with the Sword Saint right away. Although he spoke politely, his words were actually implying something.
The Sword Saint is old.
He was just an older pioneer.
There was no respect for the senior; they were merely used as a stepping stone in front of them.
Faced with such a junior, the old swordsman simply smiled and said, "You are no match for me."
"Whether he's your match or not, we'll find out after we try!" The Apocalypse God Lord snorted coldly, then, without caring whether the Sword Saint paid him any attention, he flicked his wrist, and a long spear instantly took shape. The moment it was formed, he threw it towards the Sword Saint.
This move, which may seem simple to the extreme, is also incredibly powerful.
The spear accelerated the instant it left his hand, reaching the Sword Saint in almost an instant. The terrifying power it carried shattered the surrounding void, creating a dark passage within it.
It is obvious that this seemingly casual strike was actually the result of the Heavenly God Lord using his true strength. Even a supreme being of the same level would have to be cautious in dealing with it.
At least.
The other four supreme beings standing with him at this moment, apart from the Immaculate Zen Master, all stared intently at the old sword saint, wanting to see how this number one person in the vast universe planned to face this well-prepared attack.
only……
The next moment, the expressions of the several supreme beings changed simultaneously.
Because they saw that the terrifying and sharp spear, which could even shatter space, vanished without warning the instant it approached within three zhang of the Sword Saint. It disappeared completely after moving forward half a zhang, without even stirring up a wisp of wind.
The old swordsman didn't use his sword, made any movement, or even glance at the Heavenly Revelation Supreme, yet he used a more decisive method than his opponent to neutralize this terrifying and overwhelming attack.
The eyelids of the several supreme beings twitched, and they exchanged glances, each seeing the shock in the other's eyes.
Although the Heavenly God Lord's attack was merely a test, it still demonstrated his true abilities. They believed that they would never have been able to remain so calm and collected in the face of such an attack.
Sword Saint...
It has become so powerful!
Haoyu is truly the best!
While everyone was still in shock, the Sword Saint spoke up, saying, "According to the planned procedure, the Sword Offering Ceremony should have already begun."
"No, we can't start now!" the Apocalypse God Lord immediately said.
Yuan Hua Supreme nodded repeatedly: "That's right, the issue of the Immortal of Annihilation must be thoroughly investigated. Although the Sword Sacrifice Ceremony is to release the sword energy accumulated by the Tianyuan Sword Sect, it is also an opportunity. We cannot allow someone who is going to become an enemy of Haoyu to obtain such an opportunity!"
“Senior Sword Saint, we know you admire Gu Xiu, but he is a world-destroying villain. If you are to wholeheartedly favor him, it will bring catastrophic disaster to Haoyu. Perhaps you, Senior, are not afraid, but the rest of us cannot help but be afraid,” Ding Luoying said.
The last of the five supreme beings, Daoist Jinye, who had not spoken before, finally spoke up: "This matter does indeed need to be discussed. Before the Sword Offering Ceremony, we still need to confirm the matter of the Immortal of Annihilation."
"You all seem convinced that Gu Xiu is an immortal?" The old sword saint glanced at the group, his gaze remaining calm.
As soon as these words came out.
The supreme beings immediately shut their mouths, feeling a sense of apprehension.
The scene just now has already proven the old sword saint's strength. No one dares to act recklessly in front of the sword saint, otherwise it would not be too difficult for him to kill them.
"This humble monk, Wugou, greets the senior." In the end, it was Zen Master Wugou who stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply.
“I recognize you. You are said to be the most insightful disciple in Buddhism, and the next successor to the Buddha appointed by the Buddha Master of your Western Desert Buddhist sect.” The Sword Saint glanced at the other party and then said, “If I remember correctly, the person I invited this time is Zen Master Yongxin of your Western Desert?”
"Senior Brother Yongxin should have come in person, but this matter involves the Buddha's prophecy of the world's destruction, so he sent this humble monk to assist you. I hope you will forgive me."
"It doesn't matter. I only need the Supreme One to come. It doesn't matter who comes. Since you have such outstanding talent, it is a good thing."
"What are your thoughts on the Immortal Who Destroys the World, Senior?"
"Opinion?" The old sword saint shook his head: "I have no opinion. Everything in the world has its own destiny. Whether the vast universe destroys the immortals or the immortals destroy the vast universe, it is all in accordance with the will of Heaven."
"Then Gu Xiu is the Immortal Who Can Destroy the World, what should Senior do?"
“Gu Xiu is not.”
"Why do you say that, senior?"
"If I say he is not, then he is not."
The Sword Saint's calm words, however, made even the ever-composed Zen Master Wugou hesitate slightly before speaking:
"Senior's strength is certainly beyond our comprehension, but there are many mediocre people in the world, and we still need a proof that everyone can understand. Now that I have brought the Seven Emotions Buddha Lamp, since you are so confident, why not let Gu Xiu give it a try?"
As he said this, Zen Master Wugou secretly clenched his fist, which was hidden in his sleeve.
They were clearly extremely nervous.
Facing the Sword Saint, he felt a sense of fear. The stronger the person, the more he understood just how unfathomable this person truly was.
He was genuinely afraid that he wouldn't be able to persuade the Sword Saint.
only……
unexpected.
The Sword Saint did not refuse outright, but instead nodded: "What you said makes sense. Instead of wasting time getting entangled like this, we should verify it as soon as possible. If we delay any longer, the Sword Offering Ceremony will be delayed for too long."
Done.
The Sword Saint turned to look at Gu Xiu in black robes: "Go and verify it, so as to silence the gossip of the world."
