"Elder Second, you!!!"
Elder Grandmaster was speechless.
But he couldn't refute it either. Elder Second could see and sense things, and Elder Grandmaster could also sense most of it, more or less.
Threeleaf was indeed freakishly strong.
Taking on the challenge himself, he couldn't see much hope of victory.
"But if this is the case, wouldn't it prove that our Great Wilderness Sword Palace has no one left?"
Elder Second was speechless, "I remember the rumors saying that during the Prodigy Grand Tournament, Threeleaf uttered a sentence, something like: In my eyes, under my sword, there is truly no one?"
"At this moment, instead of worrying that our Palace Master's personal involvement proves we have no one, you should worry that our Great Wilderness Sword Palace indeed has no one left."
"At least in a pure sword dao competition... apart from the Palace Master and those self-proclaimed old predecessors, I really can't think of anyone else who is qualified to compete with Threeleaf."
"!!!"
Elder Grandmaster's face changed dramatically, "Are you looking down on him too much?"
"There's still the Supreme Elder in the Palace, and those 'Sweep Sword Cultivators.' I don't believe no one can stop him! You should know, we are the Great Wilderness Sword Palace!"
"The pinnacle of the sword dao in the Immortal Martial Continent!"
"Even in the Upper Realm, they specifically asked for our people by name..."
"Silence!"
"I'm already communicating through divine sense, why are you telling me to be quiet? The issue is that every single one of these Sweep Sword Cultivators had been imbued with a portion of the Palace Master's sword dao. This was a secret technique of the Palace Master's, and it was a secret that had been kept for a very long time. It was a technique that allowed the Palace Master to imbue a portion of his sword dao into a person, and that person would then be able to use a portion of the Palace Master's sword dao. It was a technique that had been passed down for generations, and it was a blissful smile, a smile that was filled with joy and contentment. It was a smile that showed that she was happy with her life, and that she was content with her lot in life. It was a smile that showed that she was at peace with herself, and that she was at peace with the world.
As time passed, the Great Wilderness Sword Palace's disciples had changed generations, but the legend of the Sweep Sword Cultivator be forgotten.
And it was especially 'popular'! It directly led to many disciples, especially those with relatively average talents, vying to emulate them.
At first...
The Sword Palace's higher-ups thought this was nonsense.
Examples of mediocre talents achieving greatness and dominating an era weren't unheard of, but they were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. The Sweep Sword Cultivators succeeded because of their temperament, luck, and the right opportunities.
You imitators...
Can you even mimic a hammer? But then...
Later, someone actually succeeded in the imitation! A Sweep Sword Cultivator who originally didn't care about worldly affairs was targeted repeatedly. In his anger, he drew his sword and slashed.
As a result...
He fought his way from a menial disciple to becoming a Palace Master!
After that...
The reputation of 'Sweep Sword Cultivator' couldn't be shaken in the Sword Palace.
There were even more imitators! They almost formed their own lineage.
Over the years, their numbers only grew.
There were teenagers and elders in their tens of thousands...
At the Sword Palace's entrance, under the tree outside the Scripture Repository, and even in the remote areas of the mountain, there were people holding brooms and sweeping every day.
Although they don’t usually show their skills, there must be some experts among them.
Otherwise...
How could they have lived for tens of thousands of years? This is precisely why the Elder Grandmaster made such a statement.
And it’s not just him.
Almost everyone in the Great Wilderness Sword Palace believes that there must be some powerful figures among the Sweep Sword Cultivators.
There have been attempts to investigate, but they were stopped by the higher-ups of the sect.
The reason given was: The Sweep Sword Cultivators are a humble and focus on sweeping and cultivation, undistracted, allowing them to defy the heavens and soar to the sky. If you insist on probing and making everything clear, would they still be the Sweep Sword Cultivators? Would they still be able to cultivate in peace?
Thus...
The current situation is that everyone knows there are experts among the Sweep Sword Cultivators, but no one knows exactly how many or just how 'high' they are. It’s outrageous!
But despite the outrageousness, once the members of the Great Wilderness Sword Palace accept this notion, they find it quite exhilarating.
It makes them feel incredibly powerful!
It’s as if, even if all the obvious experts were to die, they wouldn’t panic because the Sweep Sword Cultivators would step in during a crisis.
Some disciples even have a sense of 'anticipation' in private.
They look forward to the day when the regular forces of the Great Wilderness Sword Palace can’t hold back an opponent, and the Sweep Sword Cultivators suddenly rise up, turning the tide.
It feels like opening a blind box.
Now...
The Elder Grandmaster wants to try that thrill.
Aren’t you, Threeleaf, impressive?
If you provoke me, I’ll rally some people.
I don’t believe the Great Wilderness Sword Palace can’t handle you. There are so many Sweep Sword Cultivators, generation after generation. Even if ninety-nine percent of them are just ordinary people, if just one or two stand out, they’d be heaven-defying existences.
How could they not be able to beat you?!
However...
The Second Elder and the Desolate Heaven Sword Master do not agree with his suggestion.
The Desolate Heaven Sword Master sighed telepathically, "Elder Grandmaster, I understand your thoughts, but the Sweep Sword Cultivators are our final trump card."
"We haven’t reached that point yet."
"Yes," the Second Elder replied with a bitter smile through telepathy, "Perhaps the Sweep Sword Cultivators still have some heaven-defying geniuses like the first generation, but what does that matter? Should we expose our trump card?"
"Threeleaf may be arrogant, but in the end, even if we truly lose and can’t hold him back, the loss would just be some reputation and face."
"It’s not a matter of life and death. Not only is this situation unsuitable for summoningthe Sweep Sword Cultivators, but even if we did, would they really step in?"
The Elder Grandmaster fell silent.
This...
Is really hard to predict! The Sweep Sword Cultivators are all pretty... well, they perfectly follow the example set by the 'first generation.'
Unless the Sword Palace is truly in a life-or-death situation, they almost certainly won’t step in, nor will they reveal their true strength.
It’s quite frustrating.
But then again, perhaps it’s precisely because of their dedication and obsession that they can reach such a high level, and become so powerful?
However, the Elder Grandmaster doesn’t know that the Second Elder has another point he hasn’t expressed.
Yes, the Sweep Sword Cultivators are impressive, and like a blind box, there’s a chance of getting a super heaven-defying existence.
But...
Most of the time, the blind box just yields ordinary results.
This blind box...
Can still be anticipated without opening it.
But if it’s opened and nothing good comes out, that’s truly the end.
—Schrodinger’s Blind Box.
"So," the Elder Grandmaster looked at the Desolate Heaven Sword Master, "Should the Sect Master really step in?"
"Why not?"
The Desolate Heaven Sword Master replied, "I am also part of the Great Wilderness Sword Palace. Since he’s challenging the entire Sword Palace, I am naturally included."
"Since you can’t stop him, sooner or later, I will have to step in."
"What’s the difference between now and later?"
"But..."
The Elder Grandmaster wanted to insist, "How about having a Supreme Elder step in first?"
The Desolate Heaven Sword Master countered, "Can they hold him off?"
The Elder Grandmaster fell silent.
Damn, they probably can’t.
"Ah."
He sighed and said no more.
The Desolate Heaven Sword Master stepped forward, "Threeleaf, adjust your state. Next, I will be the one to face you."
Boom!
A stone stirred a thousand waves.
When these words were spoken, all the observing elders and disciples, except the Elder Grandmaster and the Second Elder who already knew, were shocked speechless, the sound waves spreading instantly.
"What?!"
"Is the Sword Lord really going to step in himself?"
"But... the opponent is just Threeleaf. Is it necessary?"
"Maybe it’s just my poor eyesight, but I really can’t see how strong Threeleaf is!"
Many disciples were voicing their doubts, finding it hard to believe.
But the Fifth Jian Xin sternly rebuked, "Shut up!"
"What do you know?!"
"Completely clueless, and possibly your poor eyesight. Don’t be sarcastic; if you’re going to say something, be confident. It’s not just possible, it’s that your eyesight is poor!"
"Every day, you’re supposed to work hard at cultivation, but you all slack off. When it comes to a critical moment, you can’t even understand how strong the opponent is. It’s outrageous!"
His face darkened, speaking rapidly, "You can’t see how strong Threeleaf is because you’re weak!"
"You can’t feel how pure and terrifying his sword intent is!"
"You can’t feel how powerful the familiar sword techniques are when he performs them."
"And you don’t even have brains!"
"Even if you can’t understand, if you had a bit of brain and used it, you’d see."
"If he weren’t so strong, how could the Third Elder and the Second Elder have fallen one after another, and at an increasingly faster pace?"
“Everyone shut up for this Holy Son!”
"If you can’t understand, keep it to yourself. If you can’t hold it in, I’ll sew your mouths shut."
"Don’t embarrass yourselves here!"
A round of furious scolding.
It immediately made the disciples look extremely uncomfortable and awkward.
Many were secretly dissatisfied.
We were trying to find excuses for our elder, trying to make it easier for them…
Why are you scolding us?
Are you crazy?!
But they didn’t know that to someone like the Fifth Jian Xin, who was truly obsessed with the sword, victory was victory, and defeat was defeat. No excuses were, No need to make it easier!
Even more so…
To be defeated by such a heaven-defying sword cultivator was an honor!
And to witness such astonishing sword artistry was a rare fortune in three lifetimes.
Why would one need excuses?
This was clearly a desecration of the sword path!
...
“I have prepared.”
Not long after, Threeleaf spoke.
“So fast?!” Elder Grandmaster’s pupils dilated.
Second Elder shook his head helplessly, “It seems the gap between me and it is even greater than I felt.”
“Otherwise, how could it recover so quickly after battling us three in succession?”
Elder Grandmaster nodded helplessly, “What you said makes sense.”
But...
Desolate Heaven Sword Master’s next words left the two men speechless, their scalps tingling with disbelief.
“You’re all wrong. It wasn’t recovering, nor was it resting.”
“It was... comprehending the sword.”
“What?!”
They couldn’t believe it, “It?!”
“Your previous battles with it were merely ‘feeding the sword’ to it.”
“After battling the three of you, it had its fill.”
“Having had its fill, it needed to digest.”
“And this digestion...”
“Has raised its sword art to another level.”
Desolate Heaven Sword Master said quietly in a voice only the three Could"Who knows if I can withstand it."
Elder Grandmaster’s face exploded in shock!
Second Elder held his breath.
...
“Please.”
Threeleaf courteously yielded.
Below the stage, many Great Wilderness Sword Palace disciples were instantly displeased.
“What does it mean?”
“To let it go first? Let the Sword Lord make the first move?”
“What arrogance, not taking Lord Sword Master seriously at all!"
“!!!”
“Shut up!”
Fifth Jian Xin reprimanded, “Look for yourselves!”
They focused their attention and were instantly filled with awe and fear.
Desolate Heaven Sword Master really did make the first move!
...
“Then I can’t be polite.”
Desolate Heaven Sword Master murmured, then pointed his finger out.
Whoosh!
A cold gleam pierced the air. Those with insufficient cultivation and sword artistry could only see a normal cold gleam, nothing out of the ordinary.
But those with profound sword artistryy were all holding their breaths, feelingfear.
This strike...
Was truly formidable!
Terrifyingly strong, a casual point of the finger, seemingly ordinary, yet almost surpassingthe Secondelder’sstrongeststrikejustnow. Itwasjusttootightandinternal, makingit hard to discern its true astonishment.
"Desolate Heaven Sword Master, indeed lives up to the title of Sword Lord."
Threeleaf responded, making the first move with the ‘Passing the sword ’.
Ching!
Similarly, a cold gleam, but the color was completely opposite.
When the two cold gleams collided...
Boom!!!
Heavenly sword qi spreadasifsummoned, asiften Thousandheavenlysoldierswereholdingimmortalswords,clashingmadely!
The intensityofthebattlemadeallthediscestopbreathing.
Even the elders widened their eyes, not wanting to miss a single detail.
Such a level of combat was rare, even for them, perhaps providing some inspiration to elevate themselves.
Naturally, they didn’t want to miss anything, their mouths tightly closed, no longer speaking.
...
Heavenly swordqi continued to clash.
Desolate Heaven Sword Master no longer held back this time.
It was particularly ‘magnificent’ and formidable.
Threeleaf didn’t dare to be careless, her next move was already Through a a One One ‘‘ Sword ‘ One World ‘!
of the Worlds.
One!
in a “One Sword separates through a.”
“One Sword.”
the World of Swords!
through.
Des!
“One SWORD SEPARATES WORLDS”
—
!
The sword Sword Master’s face grew!
tight, "Threeleaf, how about?!"
!"
?"
Elder Grandmaster couldn’t help but exclaim, “Your pride in sword art can be broken, day day! to day! be broken!”
!”
“ “ not “ matter."
“ “ ““Sword techniques, sword moves, a move,sword, been broken to be broken.”
“To the flaws, only then can I know where the flaws lie, and only then can I make further progress. If I have the chance to meet it again in the future, I will be even stronger."
She spoke calmly and earnestly.
.
The Elder Grandmaster was almost at his wit's end, feeling as if he had become a petty person, a 'green tea bstard'. He had only spoken the truth, yet he was left speechless by the other's retort.
It was unbearable!
The Elder Grandmaster could only silently admonish himself to keep his mouth shut, or else he would only make things worse.
But...
It was so difficult!
...
"One Sword Through Worlds, the reputation is well-deserved. If not for my years of cultivation and unique Sword Dao, I would surely have been trapped within and unable to save myself."
The Desolate Heaven Sword Master's expression turned solemn. "I heard you also have the Second Sword."
"May I see it?"
"Why not?"
Threeleaf waved her leaf, "Sun and Moon Stars!"
"This sword is not yet perfected. Currently, there are only stars, no sun or moon. But... please instruct me."
Boom!!!
As her words fell, in the sky above, countless stars were swept away by the sword aura, transforming into meteors that were enveloped by the sword aura and rushed towards the Great Wilderness Sword Palace!
The speed and power were so intense that it seemed like the entire world was trembling.
The sword intent was terrifying, causing everyone to shiver.
"It's truly..."
"An astonishing sword."
The Desolate Heaven Sword Master raised his head, his gaze piercing through everything, staring at the sky.
The countless stars and sword auras were enough to effortlessly destroy a country!
"It's just a half-finished product, yet it has such incredible power. I can't wait to see the true Sun and Moon Stars." The Desolate Heaven Sword Master whispered, then drew his sword.
"Wasteland Sword Art."
"Break!"
He unsheathed his sword.
The Wasteland Sword Dao spread out, instantly covering the void.
When the countless stars descended and came into contact with the Wasteland Sword Dao...
They quickly 'weathered', the flames extinguished, the sword aura 'exhausted', and even the stars themselves turned into countless flying ashes, scattering with the wind.
In the blink of an eye.
