Chapter 91 - Return of 10,000 Swords to the Sect!

Chapter 91: Return of 10,000 Swords to the Sect!

Compared to the ancient pressure and mysteriousness of the Seven Stars Ancient Divine Sword, this treasured sword was filled with a peaceful aura. It was as if it was here to protect everyone, stop the killing, and allow people to search for the essence of their body and soul.

Even the hilt of the sword was engraved with a lotus flower that was about to bloom. It was lifelike, as if it would slowly bloom in the next second.

"It's rumored that there was a venerable who liked to wear purple clothes. In addition, he saved people with the help of the World Overhanging Jar. He had a compassionate heart and was known as the Purple-robed Bodhisattva. His treasured sword was even forged from Purple Spirit Immortal Crystals. Could this sword inf front of us be his sword?"

At that time, there were many outstanding people. It could be said that all the Heaven's Favorites appeared out of nowhere and competed with each other. The most dazzling one among them was the Emperor. However, this did not mean that the others were overshadowed.

Although they were under the radiance of the Emperor, they still possessed extraordinary strength. They could be said to be the eternally-shining stars. Any one of them could be said to be invincible in this world. It was a pity that they would never see such a prosperous era again.

One after another, Divine Swords appeared. Everyone thought that it would finally be over. However, it was only the beginning.

The lights lit up again, and everyone's expressions were already stiff.

"Who is this Gu Xi?! He actually triggered the divine weapons to appear one after another!"

Looking at the piece of black iron in his hand, they did not know if it was their misconception, but the black ink on it seemed to have faded a little.

"Chaos Sword!"

"Void-shattering Sword!"

"Nine Clouds Divine Sword!"

"Dragon Roar Sky-shaking Sword!"

…

The lights on the Sword Mountain lit up one after another until the crowd was almost numb to it. They even guessed that if the Sword Mountain did not light up, then there would be a problem.

All kinds of Godly swords surrounded Gu Xi like stars surrounding the moon. They all came from the depths of the Sword Mountain, and one could know a thing or two just by looking at the places where the lights lit up.

Moreover, the aura that was emitted from his body also made everyone tremble in fear. This was something that could not be faked. Just from the names of the swords alone made people's imaginations run wild. They racked their brains, trying to figure out what kind of weapon Gu Xi was refining.

However, no matter how they looked at it, it was still an ordinary black iron sword.

Other than that, there were many other things that they could not name. Presumably, they must have an even greater background. Everyone did not even dare to think about it as they looked at the increasing number of swords around them.

It was as if they were in a sea of swords. Just looking at the densely packed number of swords was enough to make one feel apprehensive, not to mention the sword aura that was so overwhelming that it was almost suffocating. Some of them were even more powerful and retained some of their ferocity, spreading anxiety throughout the arena.

Moreover, the closer they got to Gu Xi, the more powerful the aura emitted by the swords became. Some of the swords that came from behind even used their strength to knock away the swords in front of them and then occupied their own positions.

A golden light flashed, and there was a sword surrounded by golden dragons. Perhaps it had come too late, and there was no space in front of it, so it circled in the air.

Finally, it landed next to the green sword. It was also a divine weapon, but it did not focus on killing. Moreover, due to the water attribute, it could not compete with the sword with golden dragons. In the end, it was squeezed to the side and was forced to give up its position.

The sword was obviously a dead object, but everyone felt a sense of grievance.

They finally understood why the swords from the Sword Mountain did not choose to settle down next to Gu Xi in the beginning. Instead, they left such a large space. It seemed that they were prepared for the arrival of the Divine Swords that came later.

They would be knocked away sooner or later anyway, so they might as well be tactful.

Everyone was surprised and confused. They said with a complicated expression, "Could it be that these swords have turned into spirits and have gained consciousness?"

"I'm afraid that all the swords in the Sword Mountain are here."

Before they could recover from their shock, Gu Xi finally made a move. The black iron pieces on the sword fell off, inch by inch, and finally, it revealed its true colors.

It was actually a sword within a sword!

No wonder they had not noticed the clues earlier.

The jade-like light flickered, but there was a streak of white that stood in the center of the sword. It looked abrupt, but it was perfectly fused together. It was like the yin and yang of Heaven and Earth, but it also represented the Great Dao of the world. It was natural and flawless.

When everyone saw this, their hearts almost hung in their throats. They did not even dare to breathe loudly.

"This, this, this…"

A golden light shot up from the ground, and a rainbow shot through the sky. The sun, moon, stars, Tai Chi eight trigrams, Sea of Bitterness, Green Lotus, Nine-layered Immortal Palace, the Netherworld, and all sorts of strange phenomena appeared. In short, any phenomena that one could think of seemed to have appeared here.

They completely overshadowed the previous phenomena of Bai Haoyu and Ou Yechen. They were no different from children playing house.

Along with it came an inexplicable and ancient power. When they saw the sword, everyone was terrified. Words could not describe the shock in their hearts.

Everyone was in a trance. It was as if they had traveled hundreds of millions of years ago, or as if they were traveling through the universe. Only they knew what it was like.

"To be able to see such a scene, I have no regrets in my life!"

The power of the Divine Sword was extremely difficult to resist, and they could not stare at it for a long time. However, there were still people who endured great pressure and did not give up even when their eyes were bloodshot. After all, such an opportunity was rare.

"I didn't expect to see such a scene in my life."

"Ah! My sword!"

Along with the exclamations, even the spectators' swords rushed towards Gu Xi one after another. Unfortunately, he was already surrounded and the swords could not pass through.

Even if the swords wanted to get close to Gu Xi, they were not qualified to do so based on the aptitude of these Spirit Swords. They could only occupy the outermost positions.

Everyone was even more shocked in their hearts. It must be known that these were their swords, and they had absolute control over them. They were also unlike the swords of the Sword Mountain, which had no owner.

However, they were still affected, and even their previous suppression did not have any effect.

"Just what in the world is he refining? He's actually able to trigger the Return of 10,000 Swords to the Sect!"

Chapter 92 - Is This Something That Can Be Refined by Humans?

Chapter 92: Is This Something That Can Be Refined by Humans? Translation

Ou Yechen and Wang Dazhu looked at the scene in front of them. They could not believe what they were seeing. Compared to Gu Xi, they were simply too weak. There was no comparison.

'Is this something that can be refined by a human?'

This thought appeared in everyone's minds. They did not doubt that even the sword used by the Emperor had been summoned over.

The Sword Mountain was empty. If someone entered Sword Mountain now, they would not see any more swords.

Wang Dazhu wanted to say something but stopped. "Your sword…"

The sword in Gu Xi's hand was the king. All the swords had to listen to its command, so the Divine Axe he refined was not affected. However, ou Yechen also refined a sword, so it was hard to say.

Just now, everyone's swords flew out uncontrollably.

Ou Yechen seemed to know what he was going to say, and a stiff smile appeared on his face. "This Divine Sword was personally refined by me, and it is closely connected to my spirit. I think it should not be separated from me."

Moreover, it was also forged by the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace. Ou Yechen was the master of the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace, and the objects forged by it had a deeper connection with the Ou Family. It was not something that these ordinary swords could compare to.

Unexpectedly, it was too late to defend against a face-smacking.

Swish!

Ou Yechen felt that his spiritual power suddenly became chaotic, as if there was a pair of invisible big hands in front of him, snatching his Divine Sword. Before he could react, the Divine Sword had already left his hand.

He could not stop it even if he wanted to.

In an instant, Ou Yechen's face turned green. He met Wang Dazhu's expected and sympathetic gaze. "My condolences…"

It was as if he had swallowed a fly, and he felt extremely aggrieved.

He could only watch helplessly as the Divine Sword flew towards Gu Xi and finally landed at the outer area. Behind the countless swords, it was like a clay ox entering the sea. It did not even stand out in the crowd.

Everyone could see that the swords were arranged by their strength and power. The closer they were to Gu Xi, the stronger they were, and the ones in the Outer Section were naturally those who were not strong enough.

Ou Yechen understood this, and so did the others. Wang Dazhu saw that Ou Yechen's expression was extremely ugly, and he comforted,"You don't have to shut yourself off. After all, these weapons came from the Sword Mountain. Your divine weapon is also quite powerful."

Ou Yechen's face was expressionless. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Thank you for your kind words, but I do not feel much comfort."

Wang Dazhu knew that he was not good with words and comforting people, so he did not say anything else.

"Looks like we've all lost."

Ou Yechen revealed a bitter smile. He had never thought that Gu Xi will end up winning. He had originally thought that Gu Xi was a nobody, but he had never thought that he really was a big shot. He had hidden it too deeply, and it had exceeded everyone's expectations!

One had to know that the person who had suffered the greatest blow was Ou Yechen. His own freshly refined sword had gone against his will.

At this moment, Bai Haoyu's party, as well as the other experts in the Capital who had received the news and rushed here, had expressions that seemed to have been carved from the same mold. They had never lost their composure before.

"Return of 10,000 Swords to the Sect!"

Countless swords stood around Gu Xi. A light was circling him, filled with an indescribable divinity as well as an ancient aura. It had to be known that the most powerful swords in the depths of the Sword Mountain were all here.

They had not awakened for so many years. Now that Gu Xi was here, the rust was slowly falling off. The divine light suddenly shone even brighter, as if it had recovered its strength from a thousand years ago.

The Sword Qi formed was almost able to crush a Nirvana stage expert into pieces in an instant. The Sword Qi was so dense that even the space became distorted.

However, at this moment, all the Sword Intent and divine splendor had been withdrawn. It was like a subject worshipping a king, because someone more powerful than them had appeared!

Such a shocking scene was imprinted in everyone's minds, and they would probably never forget it for the rest of their lives.

All of the people who had previously mocked Gu Xi and did not think highly of it now had strange expressions on their faces.

Of course, none of the swords in their hands were spared, and all of them flew in to mingle with the countless swords.

"He's simply too powerful. From ancient times until now, who could cause such a strange phenomenon?"

"Is he even human? He's the best at refining pills, and now he deserves to be the best at refining weapons. Who can compare to him?"

There were even people with sharp eyes who noticed that even the Divine Sword refined by Ou Yechen was among them. It was enough to show that Gu Xi had crushed the entire scene.

"What's the background of this kid? His identity is definitely not as simple as it seems. From ancient times until now, very few people could cultivate two Daos at the same time. Moreover, he was able to achieve such extraordinary feats. This is simply unprecedented."

It must be known that whether it was refining weapons or pills, there was an extremely strong requirement for mental strength. Everyone guessed that Gu Xi's mental strength have reached the peak, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"In the end, it was our carelessness earlier. Good things take time. At that time, we should have been more patient. Who knows, we might have been able to see the birth of the divine weapon with our own eyes."

Many people beat their chests and stomped their feet, feeling extremely regretful. The birth of a divine weapon was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It was something that could only be encountered by chance, and one may not see it even if he yearns for it his entire life. It was also the dream and goal of many blacksmiths.

Even if they could not forge a divine weapon, even if they saw it with their own eyes, they might be able to gain some enlightenment from it. They might even be able to improve their own skills.

However, it was too late to say anything now. Those people felt sick, as if they had missed a great opportunity. Those who had mocked Gu Xi earlier even hid in a corner, afraid to show their faces.

Suddenly, they remembered that there was still a group of people who had not left. They hurriedly asked them what had happened.

After listening to their stories, they were shocked by their description alone. If they really experienced it, who knows what would have happened?

Chapter 93 - Little Friend, Please Come and Have a Chat! Green Lotus Princess to the Rescue

Chapter 93: Little Friend, Please Come and Have a Chat! Green Lotus Princess to the Rescue

"At first, we thought that we were surely going to die. We never thought that it was Gu Xi who had caused all of this. You guys didn't see the scene of 'Return of 10,000 Swords to the Sect'. All sorts of strange phenomena appeared one after another…"

After listening to these words, everyone became envious. It would be great if they could see it with their own eyes!

The regret in their hearts was indescribable.

On the other hand, the last group of people who were left behind had an expression that was filled with endless regret. They had originally been through the gates of Hell, but they had never expected that things would turn for the better now. Even their tone carried an imperceptible sense of flaunting and pride.

After all, they had witnessed the birth of a divine weapon with their own eyes! Such an experience could also be considered extraordinary.

All in all, they were experiencing extremely complicated emotions.

A strange ripple flashed across Green Lotus Princess's beautiful eyes. "Today's competition was indeed outstanding. I once again thank everyone on behalf of the imperial family. At the same time, I also announce the winner of today's competition to be Gu Xi!"

At this moment, Gu Xi was the target of everyone's hopes.

Countless pairs of eyes landed on him. To be more precise, they were staring at the slightly glowing sword in his hand.

It must be known that this was a divine weapon. If one could have it, it would be a tremendous increase in their strength. It could greatly increase the strength of the sect. For a moment, the elders or Sect Masters of the super large sects looked around, and they could not help but fall into deep thought.

Gu Xi was too mysterious, or he hid it extremely well. They had probed around and found out that he came from a small sect called Supreme Purity Sect. This made it even more strange. For a time, no one dared to act rashly.

Otherwise, forget the divine weapon, they might accidentally offend a certain behemoth. The gains would not make up for the losses.

"I wonder if I can invite Little Friend Gu to the Star Viewing Pavilion for a chat."

The person who said this was a kind-looking old man. His hair and beard were all white, and he looked amiable. However, the power coming from his body could not be underestimated.

The Star Viewing Pavilion was a super large sect in the Capital. They were very mysterious in their operations, but they were extremely powerful. The person who said this was none other than their Great Elder.

"That old fox is trying to snatch Gu Xi!" Everyone was secretly resentful. Everyone knew that the Star Viewing Pavilion wanted to get the Divine Sword.

These words were like a signal.

"The Ancient God Sect wishes to invite Little Friend Gu over for a chat!"

"The Kunwu Sect wishes to invite Little Friend Gu over for a chat!"

"The Supreme Sect wishes to invite Little Friend Gu over for a chat!"

…

Voices rose and fell one after another. The people who spoke were all powerful and of high status. Even the Sect Masters personally invited him over.

These large sects were all vying to invite Gu Xi. This was such an honor, and it was something that had never happened before. The others were stunned. Even if they knew that these powers were here for the Divine Sword, they could not deny that some of them wanted to build a good relationship with Gu Xi.

In the end, everyone's gazes fell on Gu Xi.

They were all super large sects and factions. No matter which one he agreed to, it would be easy to offend the others. Some of their strength was also meant to test the waters. They wanted to see if the real faction behind Gu Xi would make a move.

Gu Xi's expression was calm. Faced with requests from so many sects, he did not seem to be moved at all. One could not help but sigh at his temperament and demeanor.

Just as he was about to speak, Green Lotus Princess suddenly said, "Young Master Gu must be exhausted from the competition. I think everyone should let him rest for a while."

Only then did everyone remember that Gu Xi hardly ate or drank. He had stayed on the competition field for a few days. Even if they had a high position and were from a large sect, they could not force him to stay.

Moreover, it was Green Lotus Princess who had spoken, so they had no choice but to give up for the time being. After saying a few polite words to Gu Xi, they all left.

Bai haoyu, Ou Yechen, Wang Dazhu, and the others all looked at each other before walking forward.

The first person to speak was Bai Haoyu. His expression was unsightly. It was obvious that he was still in shock and had yet to regain his senses. It took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence. "You're very strong! And I'm sorry for what happened earlier!"

He left in a hurry, as if there were ghosts chasing after him. Gu Xi could not help but find it funny. Although this person was annoying, he did not have a bad nature.

Compared to Bai Haoyu who could not accept the reality in front of him, Ou Yecheng and Wang Dazhu were much calmer. Wang Dazhu, in particular, did not take these things seriously at all.

The reason why he came to participate in the competition was that he wanted to compete with other people to see how good he was. After all, there were not many people around him that could compete with him.

Wang Dazhu said cheerfully, "I'm very happy in this competition. I hope I'll have the chance to compete with you next time."

He patted Gu Xi's shoulder, Gu Xi naturally would not reject his kindness. "Okay."

Ou Yechen was the strangest. He did not say anything. He looked deeply at Gu Xi for a few moments before leaving, as if he wanted to remember him in his heart.

Wang Dazhu said disapprovingly, "Don't take it to heart. He's just like this. Previously, when I communicated with him, he was also like this. He doesn't like to speak very much, and he's quite reserved."

Gu Xi did not take it to heart.

At this moment, a female servant came over. Gu Xi recognized that she was one of the Green Lotus Princess's people.

"Young Master Gu, my Princess invites you."

Wang Dazhu was in disbelief. He sized Gu Xi up and down. "Kid, you're really something. Even Green Lotus Princess took the initiative to look for you."

He winked at Gu Xi. His expression was a little mischievous. The meaning behind it was self-evident.

Gu Xi did not think too much about it. He only said calmly, "Don't think too much."

Wang Dazhu clicked his tongue. "Brother, you're really something. You can still remain calm even after being invited by such a beauty. If it were me, I would be so happy that I wouldn't be able to find my way around."

Green Lotus Princess had always been aloof from worldly affairs and had a noble status. She had never requested to meet anyone. Now that she had taken the initiative to invite Gu Xi, it could be said to be the first time in history.

When the male cultivators saw that the Princess's maidservant was inviting Gu Xi for an audience with the Princess, they cast envious glances at him.

Chapter 94 - That's It? I Really Only Drank a Cup of Tea

Chapter 94: That's It? I Really Only Drank a Cup of Tea Translation

One had to know that this was an invitation from Green Lotus Princess. It was something that many people dreamed of.

"Sigh, why can't we be invited by Green Lotus Princess?"

"If you can refine the Flawless pill and refine a Divine Sword, I believe that not only Green Lotus Princess, but the royal family will also invite you for tea."

"For me to have such an opportunity, I'm afraid that I would be willing to die right now."

Everyone sighed, but could only watch helplessly. It was their fault that they did not have Gu Xi's powerful abilities.

If it were not for Gu Xi's prestige and strength, the envious gazes of the male cultivators present would have pierced him like a hedgehog.

However, Gu Xi did not take it to heart. He followed the maid to a secluded lake. Next to it was Green Lotus Princess's carriage.

It was unknown whether a formation had been set up here, or if there were not many people around, but it was extremely quiet. The breeze brushed against his face, and the waves shone brightly. The clear lake water was like a pearl embedded in the vast forest, and the five-colored Luan birds danced in the air, it added a little more spirit to this place.

Gu Xi seemed to have entered a fairyland by accident. He hesitated for a moment. It seemed that as an outsider, it was not good for him to enter the carriage like this.

The maid next to him seemed to know what he was thinking. "Young Master Gu, go in. Our princess has been waiting for a long time."

After Gu Xi walked in, he realized that there was a different world inside. Although it was a carriage, the space inside was extremely large. A string of bead curtains separated him, and he could vaguely see the graceful figure behind the curtain.

Each bead was worth ten million spirit stones. With so many strings, one could imagine how much it was worth. However, it was only placed in the palanquin as a decoration.

"Thank you, Princess, for helping me out just now."

Gu Xi knew that if it was not for Green Lotus Princess's words, those people would not have let him go so easily. Green Lotus Princess did not seem like someone who meddled in other people's business.

Regardless of the purpose, he accepted this favor. Moreover, from the current situation, Green Lotus Princess did not seem to have any enmity toward him.

Green Lotus Princess waved her delicate hand, revealing half of her snow-white wrist. It was as if it was made of jade and snow. Even though she was pouring tea, it was extremely pleasing to the eye. She was elegant and refined, and she did not look like a mortal being.

"It's nothing."

Green Lotus Princess's voice was pleasant to the ear, "I'm just a little curious about Young Master Gu."

Curious?

Gu Xi was a little puzzled, but his expression did not change. He looked at the woman not far away, the white veil covering her face concealing her devastatingly beautiful face.

Even so, her faintly discernible outline and her pair of beautiful autumn eyes were like peach blossoms blooming in March. With just a glance, one would be intoxicated by it, causing one to imagine what kind of peerless beauty would be under the veil.

He looked at the unfurled tea leaves in the cup, the spiritual energy overflowing in all directions. A mouthful of this tea would make one feel relaxed and happy. One's cultivation would also feel as if it had increased by a tiny bit. Even this teacup was no ordinary porcelain.

Gu Xi could not ignore this amazing tea. It was the kind that could not be bought even with money. It would be cherished by ordinary people, and it was something to be placed in their treasured collections. However, it was used by Green Lotus Princess to entertain guests.

The tea leaves floated in the white porcelain, like a good ink painting. Beside them, incense burned. It was the incomparably precious Hundred-year-old Ambergris Incense.

For a moment, no one spoke, and it was very quiet. Only the sound of their breathing could be heard, along with the delicate fragrance of the woman.

"If Young Master Gu likes tea, you can bring some back. It's been hard on you during the competition. You should rest early."

Gu Xi's black eyes were a little surprised. However, after a moment, he regained his composure. He could not figure out what this Green Lotus Princess was up to. Could it be that she really only invited him over for a simple cup of tea?

By the time Gu Xi walked out of the carriage, Green Lotus Princess did not say anything. Instead, there was a bag of tea in Gu Xi's hand.

Looking at the cold teacup in front of her, Green Lotus Princess did not say anything. After a long while, she said softly, "He has many secrets. could he be the person we are looking for?"

There was nothing around her, and there was no breeze at all. What was strange was that the bead curtain started to shake again. The clanging sounds were incessant, and it was especially obvious in the quiet carriage, it was as if there were a pair of invisible hands fiddling with it.

…

Gu Xi was surrounded by the people of Supreme Purity Sect when he returned.

"Senior Brother Gu, You're amazing. Not only are you good at pill refining, but you're also extraordinary at weapon refining. Is there anything in this world that you don't know?!"

"Even the famous Ou Yechen admitted defeat. Also, Wang Dazhu submitted to you. None of them are a match for you."

"That Bai Haoyu is hilarious. In the end, he came over to apologize. Who asked him to steal our materials back then? We should teach him a good lesson."

"So what if he is the descendant of the God of Forging? In the end, Senior Brother Gu is still better. I suspect that there is nothing in this world that Senior Brother Gu can't do."

The people of Supreme Purity Sect were amazed. In just a few days, it could be said that they had experienced great ups and downs in their lives. They could not stop discussing what happened.

Gu Xi was the participant in the competition, but their hearts were in their throats because this competition was extremely important to the Supreme Purity Sect! It could be said that it was the hope of the entire sect.

If Gu Xi could succeed, the Supreme Purity Sect could be promoted from a third-grade sect to a second-grade sect. It would have a great impact on the future and development of the sect. It could even be the start of a long history for the sect.

Who would have thought that Gu Xi actually succeeded, and even won so beautifully! It caused such a shocking phenomenon that all the great powers in the Capital wanted to impress Gu Xi.

Chapter 95 - Green Lotus Princess's Strange Actions

Chapter 95: Green Lotus Princess's Strange Actions Translation

After two matches, the shock these disciples received was so great that they had all become Gu Xi's most loyal supporters. Perhaps even the Sect Master would not be able to shake them.

"Senior Brother Gu, you will be a great contributor to our Supreme Purity Sect in the future!"

Even Wu Huaqing, who had always been calm, was a little excited at this moment.

A disciple thought of something and suddenly winked. "Oh right, Senior Brother Gu, you might not know this, but when you were invited by Green Lotus Princess, those male cultivators looked as if they were going to kill you."

"Senior Brother Gu, why did Green Lotus Princess look for you? Did you see how she looked like?"

"I wonder what exactly Green Lotus Princess looks like. It is said that she can topple kingdoms and cities. Is it really as the rumors say?"

"Senior Brother Gu, could it be that Green Lotus Princess is interested in you? I wonder how you feel about such a great beauty. This kind of fortune is something that others can't even dream about."

For some reason, the topic gradually changed. Facing the curious gazes of the crowd, Gu Xi did not know whether to laugh or cry. If they knew that Green Lotus Princess only said a few words and then ordered him to leave, they probably would not believe it.

"I went in and met her face-to-face and drank tea. Then, I came out. Before I left, she even gave me some tea leaves."

Everyone widened their eyes, not daring to believe what Gu Xi said, "Is that it?"

Their gazes instantly fell, carrying a hint of doubt and disbelief. They saw that Gu Xi was indeed holding some tea leaves. Faint spiritual energy seeped out, making people realize that it was something extraordinary.

"Senior Brother Gu, are you joking with us? Green Lotus Princess only wanted you to go over and drink tea?"

No one would believe these words. Moreover, Green Lotus Princess was not the kind that liked to waste time.

The people of Supreme Purity Sect suspected that Gu Xi was joking and could not help but tease him. "Why does the Princess only want to treat you to tea and not treat us to tea? And it's such a precious tea leaf. Senior Brother Gu, you're trying to fool us. We won't believe you if you tell us you did nothing with the Princess."

Nowadays, no one would believe the truth anymore. Gu Xi was rather helpless. "Whether you believe it or not, nothing else happened. I don't have to lie to you. After drinking some tea, I left. I didn't even get to chat with her."

Although Gu Xi did not know what exactly were the intentions of the Green Lotus Princess, he was too lazy to think about these things. They might not believe it, but it was the truth.

The people of the Supreme Purity Sect looked at Gu Xi's expression, but it did not seem like he was lying. They were speechless.

"It seems that Green Lotus Princess really has nothing to do…"

Everyone smiled. However, even this kind of inviting someone to tea had never happened before. Gu Xi was the only one who received such treatment.

One of the disciples touched his chin and said shockingly, "Could it be that Green Lotus Princess has taken a liking to our seSior Brother Gu?"

"It's possible. Our Senior Brother Gu is handsome and has extraordinary strength. It's understandable that the Princess has taken a fancy to him."

Even though it was a joke, everyone knew that Green Lotus Princess had a noble status. Her future husband would definitely have an extraordinary status. Even the current Gu Xi was not someone who could easily approach thePrincess.

"Someone's coming!"

Just as everyone was teasing Gu Xi, the maid who had invited Gu Xi walked over again. Everyone was a little surprised, but they did not dare to discuss it recklessly in case the Princess heard it.

"Young Master Gu, The Princess asked me to pass a message to you: Perhaps we can meet again soon."

After saying this, the maid turned around and left, leaving the confused crowd behind.

"Meet again? What does that mean? Could it be that the Princess has invited Senior Brother Gu over for tea again?"

"Green Lotus Princess is really mysterious, huh? A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the ocean, totally unfathomable."

"Is there a possibility that Green Lotus Princess really has taken a liking to Senior Brother Gu, so she wants to attract his attention!"

It seemed like she was interested in Gu Xi. Otherwise, why would Gu Xi receive such special treatment? She even sent a maid to deliver the message that they would be able to meet again soon.

However, from Gu Xi's description, Green Lotus Princess did not seem interested in him. They were so curious that it felt like a thousand ants were crawling on their hearts. They were itching to figure it out.

Even Gu Xi fell into deep thought, not understanding what Green Lotus Princess was trying to do.

"Damn it, why are we thinking so much? We'll find out in the future anyway."

Everyone's interest in gossiping did not diminish until Wu Huaqing spoke. Only then did they suppress it. "Your Senior Brother Gu has already worked hard for many days. It's better not to disturb him."

Only then did the other disciples reluctantly leave, but their expressions were still unsatisfied.

Seeing that Wu Huaqing wanted to speak but hesitated, Gu Xi knew that he had something to say to him, "Elder Wu, you can speak frankly."

"You've done very well. I've already asked someone to send the news back. The entire sect will be proud of you."

Wu Huaqing's expression was complicated. If it were not for Gu Xi, it would have taken countless years for the sect to advance to second grade. It could be said that Gu Xi had helped the sect take a big step forward all by himself.

Gu Xi was very calm and had no intention of taking credit. "I'm a disciple of Supreme Purity Sect. This is what I ought to do anyway. Elder Wu, there's no need to be polite."

However, under such circumstances, Wu Huaqing was a little worried because Gu Xi was too mysterious. With his ability, he was able to refine Flawless-quality pills, which made even the Alchemy Emperor bow down and admire him.

Furthermore, the Divine Sword that he had refined had triggered the scene of 'Return of 10,000 Swords to the Sect'. This was an unprecedented phenomenon. Regardless of which one it was, it would shock everyone in the world. Yet, it was all caused by the same person.

Even he could not but wonder… Was there really such a talented person in the world who could cultivate both Daos? If someone had told him this in the past, he would never have believed it. However, he had personally witnessed it now.

Chapter 96 - Shocking the Entire Capital

Chapter 96: Shocking the Entire Capital

"You saw those sects and forces today…"

Wu Huaqing could not help but sigh. He also saw that it was Green Lotus Princess who had stepped in to save the situation today. Otherwise, he still did not know how things would have turned out. Those guys had given up this time, but it might not be the case the next time.

These people might be afraid of the mysterious force that was behind Gu Xi, so they would not dare to act rashly. However, it would not be the case for the Supreme Purity Sect.

A man without foresight would have immediate worries. This was an opportunity for the Supreme Purity Sect. At the same time, there was also danger. If it was used properly, the Supreme Purity Sect would definitely rise to a higher grade. However, if they were careless, it was very likely that the sect would be exterminated.

The most unstable factor was Gu Xi.

"Don't worry. I know what to do. Elder Wu, don't worry."

Even if Gu Xi was like this, Wu Huaqing still could not let out a sigh of relief. Those forces were not to be trifled with. If he offended any of them, the Supreme Purity Sect would probably suffer.

"That being said, you have seen those sects today. They are all coming for the Divine Sword. You can avoid it this time, but what about next time?"

Even if they did not want the Divine Sword, they would probably ask Gu Xi to help them refine another one.

Gu Xi was very mysterious. He was clearly from a small sect, but he had such powerful strength. For a moment, they did not dare to act rashly, but sooner or later, they would not be able to hold back.

If they probed again and found out that there was no so-called large organization behind him, then they would be in danger. Gu Xi understood this very well.

The so-called mysterious Master was just an excuse to create an illusion. However, Gu Xi was not afraid or worried at all. It would take time for them to find out.

If he was given time, as long as he had the System in hand, what was there to be afraid of? Sooner or later, he would be above everything!

Gu Xi knew that Elder Wu was worried, but there were some things that he could not tell him. "Elder, please rest assured. If anything happens, the sect will not be implicated."

Wu Huaqing looked a little embarrassed. "That's not what I meant. As a disciple of the Supreme Purity Sect, if you are in trouble, we will definitely do our best. We just hope that you can be careful. Even if you are powerful, it is hard to avoid someone scheming against you."

Gu Xi understood Wu Huaqing's good intentions and nodded. "I know."

…

The news of what happened in the weapon refining arena spread very quickly. Four or five people gathered at a table in the teahouse and were discussing something enthusiastically.

The person in the lead was a middle-aged man. Although his strength and cultivation were not very strong, he was extremely well-informed. He pretended to be mysterious as he spoke. "Do you know who won the weapon refining competition this time?"

"I heard that Ou Yezi's descendant also participated. He has the bloodline of the God of Forging. I think he should be the one to get first place."

"The Bai Clan is powerful and rich. They have been purchasing high-quality raw materials for the competition for a long time. Therefore, there's hope for Bai Haoyu to be in the first place."

The man shook his head mysteriously.

"No, you've guessed wrong! You won't believe it if I tell you. Neither Ou Yechen nor Bai Haoyu was his match. Furthermore, he has refined a Divine Sword, which resonates with the entire Sword Mountain!"

"A divine weapon has appeared, and there's actually such a powerful figure. No wonder I sensed the strange movements of the Sword Mountain earlier."

"That's right. I originally wanted to go and watch, but because my cultivation base wasn't high enough, I was blocked by the Sword Qi. Otherwise, I would have really wanted to watch."

"I was fortunate enough to watch from afar. Such a scene is probably unheard of and unforgettable."

Back then, when the swords of the Sword Mountain came out, everyone within a radius of 100 miles had sensed such a huge commotion.

They knew that it was caused by the Sword Mountain, but for some unknown reason, the powerful Sword Qi blocked their detection. Those who were not strong enough would feel slightly uncomfortable even if they approached it, so they only dared to watch from afar.

There was a flurry of discussion. The other people in the teahouse were also attracted by their conversation and urged him. "Don't keep us in suspense. What exactly happened in the arena that day?"

"That person is Gu Xi. He appeared out of nowhere and spent a few days and nights to finally refine a world-shaking Divine Sword. The scene at that time was so profound that it seemed like the end of the world was coming and the world was collapsing…"

The man's words were extremely exaggerated as if he had seen them with his own eyes.

The others could not help but look at him suspiciously. "Is there such a powerful person? Are you bragging?"

"If the Ten Thousand Swords Court Sect said that the God of Swords was there, I might have believed it, but who was Gu Xi to actually cause such a scene?"

As long as one was in the Capital, they all knew about the ancient history and legends of the Sword Mountain, so they knew about the uniqueness of the Sword Mountain.

From ancient times until now, other than the Emperor from back then and the God of Forging Ou Yezi, no one had ever been able to cause the Sword Mountain to have such a reaction.

However, Gu Xi had done it. He had even created a bigger commotion. Those who had seen the scene on the stage would understand that the phenomenon Gu Xi had caused was even more shocking than what was described. Such a scene could not be described with words.

Many people fell into deep thought. "The name Gu Xi is so familiar. I think I have heard it before."

The person who said this suddenly patted his head, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

"Isn't he the one who refined the Flawless pill and crushed all the alchemists in the pill refining competition? Even the Alchemy Emperor was impressed!"

Hearing this, the others also remembered. After all, Gu Xi had caused quite a stir in the Capital previously. Now that the similar situation and scene were still talking about his name, everyone could not help but have a mysterious expression on their faces.

"Could it be that he has the same name and the same surname? Gu Xi is very skilled in alchemy, and he can actually dominate the entire scene in weapon refining as well! He defeated the Bai Clan and the descendants of the God of Forging?"

Chapter 97 - The Great Change of the Sword Mountain! Where Did That Huge Mountain Go?

Chapter 97: The Great Change of the Sword Mountain! Where Did That Huge Mountain Go?!

It was well known that a person's spiritual power was limited and could not cultivate both Daos at the same time. However, there were also special circumstances. For example, for people with strong spiritual power, even if they could refine pills and weapons at the same time, they would not be able to achieve top-notch results.

Everyone knew about the strength of Bai Haoyu and Ou Yechen. In addition to the sudden appearance of the dark horse Wang Dazhu, Gu Xi was able to defeat the three of them. One could imagine how terrifying his strength was.

That person scoffed, "How can there be such a coincidence? There are people with the same name and surname. I heard that Bai Haoyu and Ou Yechen seemed to have suffered quite a blow, and as soon as they returned, they began to enter closed-door cultivation."

There was a moment of silence in the air. No one spoke for a long time. After a while, they said, "This kid is too abnormal, too monstrous! He can even refine a Divine Pill and Divine Sword. What else is there that he can't do?"

"But I heard that this Gu Xi is only from a small sect. How can he have such strength?"

"Maybe he's pretending. Maybe he's an important figure from an extremely powerful family and sect who came out to train. He admitted that he has a mysterious Master when he was refining pills."

"Several super sects in the weapon refining arena all want the Divine Sword. They might ask Gu Xi to help refine a divine weapon for them. The competition has just ended, and they've already invited Gu Xi to their sects."

Compared to the temptation of Flawless pills, the temptation of a divine weapon was obviously greater. After all, having a divine weapon could greatly increase one's combat strength, and there were no side effects.

Everyone gasped, "Did Gu Xi agree?"

"In the end, it was Green Lotus Princess who spoke up. She said that Gu Xi had been through a lot in the competition and had to rest before making any plans. That was why this matter was settled."

The expressions of the others became even more interesting. "Green Lotus Princess! Gu Xi actually had a relationship with Green Lotus Princess? To think that the Princess herself stepped in…"

Many people could smell the scent of gossip.

"There's still the competition for the array formation and talismans. I wonder who will be the champion."

"It can't be Gu Xi again, right?"

Everyone almost fell into the fear of being dominated by Gu Xi.

If someone had said this to them in the past, they would definitely disdain it and think that it was a fantasy.

However, Gu Xi had crushed the entire venue in the alchemy and weapon refining competitions one after another, leaving everyone behind. He had caused such a huge commotion. What could he not do?

"Perhaps there really is such a possibility. Since the Divine Pill and Divine Sword have been refined, he doesn't care about creating a few Divine Talisman and Divine Aawrrays, right?"

There was a bit of banter in everyone's words. However, the information that was invisibly revealed indicated that they already believed that Gu Xi really had the strength.

Even if he did not, obtaining an absolute victory in the two competitions would be unprecedented. Gu Xi was without a doubt the most outstanding participant in the Dao Conference Competition in the Capital.

The news spread through the streets and alleys, and almost everyone was discussing it. It could be said that Gu Xi's name was deeply engraved in everyone's minds.

However, on that night, the movements from the Sword Mountain shook the entire Capital!

As dusk descended, the night was like a dark owl spreading its massive wings, enveloping the entire sky of the Capital. Under the night, the enormous Sword Mountain was like an ancient behemoth that was about to awaken, emitting rumbling sounds.

Within the Sword Mountain, there was no chirping of insects or birds. It was even extremely quiet, sinking into a sort of deathly stillness, as if it knew what was about to happen.

Countless swords were shaking madly, as if they wanted to break free from the restrictions here. From the depths of the Sword Mountain came one buzzing sound after another. It sounded as if there was an ancient Divine Sword that connected Heaven and Earth.

As the first Divine Sword flew out from the depths of the Sword Mountain, the other weapons seemed to have received a signal of approval and woke up from their deep sleep once again.

Streams of light streaked across the horizon like countless meteors, rendering it as bright as day. Such a phenomenon only appeared for a moment before a thick fog came over, as if there were a pair of invisible hands deliberately covering everything.

The secrets of the Heavens could not be revealed. The stars flickered in the sky, using this to cover up the secrets of the Heavens.

Rumble!

A loud sound could be heard, and everything returned to calm. The strange phenomenon was no longer there. All the stars were hidden in the sky, not a single speck of light could be seen. Only the crescent moon hung high in the sky, sprinkling down a cold silver glow. It witnessed everything that had just happened.

The movements here were quickly noticed by the people of the Capital.

Quite a few people even woke up from their deep sleep. Hearing the loud bang, the ground began to shake violently. They thought that an earthquake had occurred, and they all ran out of their homes.

"What's going on!"

"It seems to be in the outskirts of the Capital."

Someone opened his mouth wide and looked at the sky. "Look!"

Countless divine lights suddenly appeared above their heads. Shockingly, they were all sects and factions of the Capital. The powerful pressure they exuded made these ordinary cultivators feel endlessly terrified.

They flew on their swords. Under the moonlight, they were like Immortals, and their energies were surging around their bodies. Even the imperial family had sent people to investigate.

"The Ancient God Sect and the Supreme Sect are all super large sects. Even they were alarmed. Just what happened in the suburbs of the Capital?"

In the suburbs of the Capital, other than a few mountains and forests, the most famous one was the Sword Mountain. Someone took a guess, saying, "Could something have happened to the Sword Mountain?"

From the looks of it, this was the only possibility. After all, only the Sword Mountain could create such a huge formation. However, the Sword Mountain had stood for tens of millions of years, and it had always been peaceful. What could have happened?

Everyone was puzzled, and they discussed animatedly. Some even said that it was a Beast Tide.

"Let's go and take a look."

Many powerful rogue cultivators also rushed over, wanting to find out what was going on.

Chapter 98 - Sword Mountain Ceases to Exist, Everyone Suspecting Gu Xi

Chapter 98: Sword Mountain Ceases to Exist, Everyone Suspecting Gu Xi

When they rushed to Sword Mountain, they were completely dumbfounded when they saw the scene in front of them.

"This… This is Sword Mountain?"

In front of everyone was a stretch of ruins. Other than that, it was totally flat. Where did such a large mountain go?!

Sword Mountain was the highest mountain in the Capital. It was more than a hundred feet long and towered above the clouds. It was surrounded by clouds and mist all year round, adding a bit of mystery to it. It was easy for one to stand on the peak and pick the stars and the moon.

However, looking at the empty space in front of them, everyone could not believe that such a huge mountain had actually disappeared!

One had to know that Sword Mountain was not only made up of swords. Back then, in order to suppress these divine weapons, they had set up a powerful array formation. At the same time, they had also isolated themselves from the prying eyes of some people who were not on the right track. It was simply impossible for ordinary people to do anything against it.

This was set up by the Emperor. Even if the power of the array formation had weakened after a thousand years, it was still not something that the people of this world could break. Furthermore, the Divine Swords in the depths of Sword Mountain also had powerful spirituality. If someone attacked them, they would be able to retaliate.

Although Sword Mountain seemed peaceful and harmless, and the divine weapons were all asleep, its power was far beyond the imagination of the world.

"Sword Mountain actually collapsed. Where did the divine weapons go?!"

Everyone examined the ruins. Other than a little bit of spiritual energy that had yet to completely dissipate, not even a shadow could be seen, much less a sword. All of them had vanished without a trace.

The expressions of the various major sects in Capital were extremely unsightly. Although Sword Mountain was not their private property, it was one of the most famous symbols of the Capital.

Anyone who was fated could come to the Sword Mountain. Even though most of the weapons on the Sword Mountain had fallen into a deep sleep, it could not be ruled out that a small number could be awakened, or that the Spirit Weapon recognized its master because of the opportunity.

Therefore, to them, Sword Mountain was also a place for their disciples to train

Especially the people in the imperial family. Their faces were extremely gloomy. This was established by the Emperor and represented the once glorious imperial power. To the people of the imperial family, it had an extraordinary meaning. Even if the imperial power was now declining, their dignity could not be violated by others.

No matter what, the collapse of Sword Mountain and the disappearance of the divine weapons was a great loss to them.

"Investigate! We must find out who did this. They actually have the courage to do something right under our noses."

"Could it be those people from the Demon Region? Only they can possess such unfathomable methods. Moreover, I heard that they have recently been quite active in the Capital."

"That's possible. However, when did the Demon Region become so powerful? If they had such strength, they would probably have started a war long ago. There's no need to hide it."

Everyone discussed animatedly. In contrast, the leaders of the super sects at the front did not say anything.

"It's late at night. Princess, please go back and rest early. Leave the matters here to us."

The people of the major sects were very polite and respectful, and Green Lotus Princess did not reject their good intentions. "Then I'll have to rely on you all."

After the miscellaneous people had all left, the major sects of the Capital worked together to set up a formation, strictly forbidding outsiders from approaching.

"Elder Wu, who do you think did this? Could it really be those people from the Demon Region?"

The person called Elder Wu looked very calm and peaceful, but the aura he emitted was incomparably powerful. He said resolutely and decisively, "It can't be those people from the Demon Region. They don't have the ability."

"Then who has the ability?"

For a moment, everyone fell into silence.

Someone said faintly, "I don't know if you still remember the phenomenon of the Return of 10,000 Swords to the Sect in the weapon refining competition."

Hearing him mention it, Gu Xi's name appeared in everyone's minds at the same time. These two words had been in the limelight in the Capital recently. Wherever they went, they could hear people talking about Gu Xi.

The others instantly understood what he meant. "Are you suspecting Gu Xi?"

"He was actually able to attract the swords of the Sword Mountain to move together. It's not surprising that he could cause such a situation."

"Sword Mountain hasn't had any unusual movements for thousands of years. He was able to create such a huge commotion… I really can't think of any other suspicious people."

Even though they said this, not everyone believed it. "We're talking about Sword Mountain. It had stood tall for thousands of years. Can Gu Xi have such a huge impact just by himself?!"

"I admit that this kid is not ordinary. He definitely has secrets that we don't know about. However, isn't this a little too exaggerated?"

Could it be that after Gu Xi destroyed Sword Mountain, and all the divine swords were in his possession?

What everyone did not know was that the entire Sword Mountain had been extracted by Gu Xi a long time ago. Even the core, Inner Section was gone. Now, there was only an empty shell. In addition to the ten thousand swords, the Divine Swords had all been awakened. It was only a matter of time before they left.

Even if Sword Mountain did not collapse, it was only an empty shell.

However, they did not know the secret. According to the power and mystery of Sword Mountain, no one could shake it. Now, not only did Sword Mountain collapse, even the Divine Swords had disappeared without a trace.

However, Gu Xi had indeed caused a strong impact on Sword Mountain, causing the Divine Sword to resonate with it. Although everyone had their suspicions, they did not have any evidence. They could not just rely on suspicions to question Gu Xi. They simply could not hold their ground.

On the way back, the maid was deeply worried. "Princess, who do you think did this to Sword Mountain?"

Green Lotus Princess did not speak, but a figure appeared in her mind. With a calm expression, she said, "It doesn't matter who it was. What's important is that it has already become like this. I'm afraid that some people in the Capital won't be able to sit still."

Behind her, the Sect Masters and elders of the various major powers had unprecedentedly grave expressions on their faces.

Chapter 99 - Just Who Did This?!

Chapter 99: Just Who Did This?!

"They simply do not respect us at all! They actually dared to make a move against Sword Mountain!"

"The Sword Mountain is the representative of our Capital. No matter who it is, we will definitely make him pay a painful price!"

"We will definitely find the person who destroyed the Sword Mountain and the whereabouts of those Divine Swords. If they fall into the hands of those with ill intentions, it will most likely be another disaster!"

The sects had long considered the Divine Weapons of the Sword Mountain to be in their possession. Even if they could not use them, they would not allow others to covet them. However, now, someone had the audacity to attack Sword Mountain.

It was undoubtedly trampling on the face of these sects.

Gu Xi was the most suspicious. After all, during the day, he had drawn the swords out. If they said that this matter had nothing to do with him, they would not believe it.

"Should we go and find Gu Xi?"

The others looked as if they were looking at a fool. "If it really was Gu XI's doing, do you think he'll admit it? Besides, we don't have any evidence. If we go and find trouble now, we're simply offending someone."

He was from a small sect, but his depths were unfathomable. Just based on that heaven-defying alchemy skill, even the Alchemy Emperor would admit defeat. Then, he even refined a Divine Weapon. In the entire Capital, those super large sects did not have the ability to nurture such a disciple.

Everyone believed that Gu Xi was just using the Supreme Purity Sect to hide his identity. His background was very complicated, and he was definitely not from an ordinary sect. It was even possible that he had come from a mysterious force in the desert, the far north, and the Central Plains.

It might even be possible that he was a Young Master who dominated a region.

Gu Xi did not know how everyone's imagination had run wild. In reality, he was just an ordinary disciple of the Supreme Purity Sect. Even the so-called 'Master' was made up.

"Then what should we do now?"

"We can send people to keep an eye on Gu XI, but don't be too obvious. Who knows, we might be able to get some clues from him."

It was clear that the people of the Capital did not want to offend Gu Xi too much. After all, just based on his expertise in alchemy refinement and weapon refinement, they wanted to ask Gu Xi for help in the future.

Thus, when it was not necessary, they did not want to offend him.

Looking at the flattened Sword Mountain, everyone could not help but sigh. Things could only be like this for now.

…

On the other side, Gu Xi still did not know how much trouble he had created. When night fell, everyone entered into a sweet dream, and he was no exception.

They could vaguely see countless divine lights suddenly lighting up from the horizon. They were like meteors flying down, bringing with them the menacing power of thunder and lightning.

Gu Xi wanted to dodge, but it was already too late. In an instant, he was completely wrapped up, as if he had come to some mysterious space.

Unexpectedly, this ball of energy emitted an extremely powerful aura, but it seemed to have no malicious intent. He saw that the Divine Swords were standing in a forest, shining like stars.

Among them were a few of the brightest stars. One of them was refined by him during the day. However, the other few stars were surrounded by a vast divine fog, making it impossible to see their true appearances.

They were like massive, ancient planets, filled with inexplicable power, forming their own worlds.

The stars twinkled, and the sky was eternal. This scene was deeply imprinted in his sea of consciousness.

Gu Xi was the only one in the ancient and mysterious universe. He looked at the scene in front of him.

An inexplicable voice suddenly rang out. Gu Xi wanted to hear what it was saying, but a majestic shadow suddenly appeared. He was standing not far from the stars.

Compared to the huge stars around him, he was too small. However, the power emitted from his body was not to be underestimated.

The man's back was facing Gu Xi. His figure was stretched infinitely, making him look even more mysterious.

"Who are you?" Gu Xi could not help but ask.

However, the man did not answer. Just as Gu Xi was about to take a step forward, the man suddenly moved.

He suddenly swung his sword at Gu Xi.

The man's speed was too fast to be caught by the naked eye. The spiritual energy that was stirred up in an instant pushed Gu Xi over a hundred meters away. It was impossible to see his movements clearly.

This sword had already exceeded the range of time and space. In an instant, goosebumps appeared all over Gu Xi's body.

There were no moves or movements. It was just that simple, yet it gave people goosebumps. A sense of fear rose from the bottom of his heart. It was just a phantom Sword Qi, but it was almost enough to destroy one's soul. If one were to face it directly, what kind of terrifying scene would that be?

The destruction of Heaven and Earth was not out of the question. Those stars that merely touched the Sword Qi were instantly ground into dust.

The invisible Sword Qi swept out, and everything it passed through turned into nothingness.

Gu Xi panted heavily. Facing the pressure of an Emperor stage existence, he did not show any signs of fear, nor did he retreat. Even at this moment, he felt as if his soul was about to shatter.

He did not resist that aura and Sword Intent at all, as if he only wanted to submit and worship.

"Could this be the cultivation of an Emperor stage…"

Gu Xi could not help but recall that it was the same in the strange vision of the Mother and Child Cauldron. His soul had been pulled into the alternate dimension, and he had also seen a powerful man.

He did not know who would be better between the two.

He was immersed in this shocking sword and looked at the man's blurry shadow. The sword swept in all directions, and the heroes worshiped it. Wherever it pointed, everyone would submit. They had truly achieved eternal glory. Even if there were many heroes, no one had the slightest bit of his heroic bearing.

It could be said that the man was the most dazzling existence in this era. He crushed all the heroes and enveloped everyone in his own radiance.

Gu Xi's intuition told him that the man in front of him was probably the founder of the royal family.

The man slashed the stars with one swing of his sword, as if he wanted to shatter the void. He let out endless roars.

Even though Gu Xi could not see the expression on his face clearly, he could still feel resentment and unwillingness.

"Why would such a powerful person be like this? It's as if he's trapped by something…"

Chapter 100 - The Mysterious and Powerful Man, I Want to Become an Immortal!

Chapter 100: The Mysterious and Powerful Man, I Want to Become an Immortal!

Gu Xi had a puzzled expression on his face. He looked at the man who looked like a crazy devil. He wanted to see the man's facial features clearly, but he suddenly felt a great resistance, as if it was a warning.

He was shocked, but he still raised his head stubbornly. The tendons and veins all over his body seemed to have been crushed by a huge force. It was as if a lofty mountain had fallen down to stop him.

It was clearly just a simple action, but Gu Xi was doing it with great difficulty and effort. It took him more than half a day to take a quick look, but he felt an unprecedented stabbing pain. It was as if he had peered into some incredible secret.

In a split second, he finally saw the man's facial features clearly!

However, there was an even deeper fear that enveloped him completely.

This was because the man's face was densely covered with all kinds of talismans and scriptures!

Gu Xi was shocked. These talismans covered his original appearance, and every symbol was extremely difficult to understand. It revealed a mysterious and uncomfortable aura. It looked as if the writings on the talisman were wriggling.

Could it be that these talismans were alive?!

The thought that emerged in his heart shocked Gu Xi to the extreme. He wanted to see even more clearly, and the burning in his eyes seemed to be on the verge of burning up.

If there was a mirror in front of him at this moment, he would have noticed that his eyes were completely red. Two streams of blood tears were slowly condensing. It looked like they were about to drip down. It was as if there was some kind of ominous omen.

Gu Xi quickly retracted his gaze. He had a feeling that if he continued to look, his eyes would be completely blinded. Even if he refined the best medicinal pill in the world, it would not be able to repair them.

Even so, the pain and burning sensation on his face only increased and did not decrease. It was as if it was carved into his bones. It was like a punishment for Gu Xi to pry into the unknown.

Before he could regain his senses, a black hole suddenly appeared in the endless and deep void. Cold air emitted from it, and a huge suction force was transmitted.

A strong sense of weightlessness was transmitted. Gu Xi instantly fell down, as if he had fallen from the nine layers of clouds.

Before he lost consciousness, he could still hear the man's continuous roars.

In the end, Gu XI finally heard those words clearly.

"I want to become an Immortal!"

Immediately after, his eyes turned black. His spiritual sense was sealed, but a mechanical voice came from his mind.

[System has detected and extracted the remaining energy of the Sword Mountain.]

[Absorbing…]

At the same time, a faint mark appeared on Gu Xi's forehead. It flickered with supreme divine light. If one looked carefully, it was actually the shape of a small sword.

In just a few seconds, it instantly became dim, as if what had just happened was just an illusion.

By the time Gu Xi opened his eyes again, the sky was already bright.

He rubbed his eyes and felt a splitting headache, as if someone had stuffed a lot of things into his head. Recalling the dream from yesterday, he shuddered. It felt too real.

That shocking sword, that man, as well as the mysterious talismans and scriptures. All sorts of phantoms appeared in his mind, lingering in his thoughts.

Gu Xi was sure that the talismans and scriptures were alive, but such a thing had never happened before. If others heard about it, they would think that he was crazy.

How could the talismans be alive?

There were also the words that the man said, which set off a huge wave in Gu Xi's heart.

Immortal Ascension!

This was the dream of many people, and it was also the goal and aspiration of all cultivators. However, just like the mirage in the desert, there had never been anyone who could become an Immortal since ancient times.

The highest level of cultivators was the Great Emperor. He was at the Void-shattering stage, but no one had ever mentioned that the Great Emperor had ever succeeded. Even the founder of the royal family, such a peerless powerhouse, had never become an Immortal.

There were many Emperors who wanted to become an Immortal, and almost no one had heard of those who succeeded in the end. People could not help but suspect that Immortal Ascension was just a legend. Perhaps it was the yearning of future generations and the rumors that had been spread over time. It made people mistakenly believe that there were really Immortals in the world.

In reality, there was no such thing as becoming an Immortal.

In this current generation, no one dared to even think about it. Now that the Great Emperor had long fallen, he had not appeared for thousands of years. Even Emperor stage experts were so rare, let alone becoming an Immortal.

Perhaps what the world was pursuing was just an illusory dream.

Gu Xi said thoughtfully, "Then why would I have such a dream?"

He soon found out the answer.

As soon as he walked out of the room, someone ran over breathlessly, "Gu, Senior Brother Gu! We're in big trouble!"

The Supreme Purity Sect disciple stared at Gu Xi's face for a while and could not help but say, "Senior brother Gu, what's wrong with your eyes? They look so red. Could it be that you didn't sleep well last night?"

Thinking of what happened last night, the disciple's face changed again and again. He carefully looked at Gu Xi. Could he really be related to this great man?

Gu Xi thought of the dream last night and his heart skipped a beat. However, he pretended to be fine and said, "No, I'm just a little uncomfortable."

That disciple carefully asked again, "There was some movement in the suburbs of the Capital last night. Does Senior Brother Gu know about it?"

Thanks to that strange dream, Gu Xi had slept very soundly yesterday. He suspected that his spiritual sense had been pulled into a distorted space in an alternate dimension.

He shook his head. "No."

The disciple clearly let out a sigh of relief. Seeing this, Gu Xi could not help but ask, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"Senior Brother Gu, you don't know. Sword Mountain is gone! All the Divine Weapons on it are gone. All the major sects and forces in the Capital have moved out. They must find the culprit who destroyed Sword Mountain!"

When he said the last sentence, the disciple could not help but swallow loudly. He subconsciously glanced at Gu Xi.

Chapter 101 - Something Happened to Sword Mountain!

Chapter 101: Something Happened to Sword Mountain!

After all, everyone in the Supreme Purity Sect knew that Gu Xi had caused such a huge commotion during the day, and many other people had also witnessed it.

And now, such a huge incident had happened at Sword Mountain at night.

If there was no relationship between the two, even the Supreme Purity Sect themselves did not believe it, let alone others. Otherwise, there would not have been someone who came to tell Gu Xi about it so early in the morning.

Compared to his excitement and shock, Gu Xi's expression was much calmer.

Sword Mountain, as the name implied, had swords on the mountain. Everyone had heard about the scene of 'Return of 10,000 Swords to the Sect'. Since all the swords were around Gu Xi, there was no need for Sword Mountain to exist, not to mention that the original Sword Mountain had long been extracted by him. In the end, it was successfully integrated into the sword embryo.

Gu Xi guessed that this was the reason. He also thought of the group of swords he saw in the dream yesterday. That seemed to be the time when it happened. Perhaps that man was also related to Sword Mountain. Otherwise, he would not have had such a dream by accident.

However, there was one thing that Gu Xi still did not understand. Where did all the Divine Weapons on the Sword Mountain go? He also did not see the whereabouts of the Divine Swords in that strange dream.

He vaguely felt a ball of inexplicable light entering his body. However, there were tens of thousands of weapons on Sword Mountain. How could his body be loaded with all of these swords? Moreover, Gu Xi had not noticed anything strange so far.

Perhaps he was too absorbed in his thoughts, so he did not hear the disciple calling out to him a few times.

"Senior Brother Gu, what are you thinking about? You're so absorbed in your thoughts."

Gu Xi shook his head and said calmly, "Nothing, I'm just thinking about who did this."

The disciple looked at Gu Xi's expression and did not say anything else. "Elder Wu is waiting for you. Senior Brother Gu, you'd better go over first."

By the time Gu XI arrived, Wu Huaqing was already running around like an ant on a hot pan.

"You know what happened yesterday, right? Something big happened at Sword Mountain. All the Divine Weapons disappeared without a trace. Even the Sword Mountain had collapsed, as if it had been razed to the ground by an unknown force."

When Wu Huaqing said this, his eyes were filled with shock. Could this force really be man-made? It could raze the entire mountain to the ground without attracting anyone's attention. If it was man-made…

He could not help but look at Gu Xi. Then this person's power was far too terrifying.

It had to be known that the Capital guards were not there to be used as a decoration.

Gu Xi naturally understood the meaning in Wu Huaqing's eyes. He shook his head and said with an incomparably calm expression, "It wasn't my doing."

Although it was not his subjective doing, there were also factors involved. However, Gu Xi would not admit to this sort of thing.

Wu Huaqing could not care less about whether his words were true or not. "Even if I believe you, I'm afraid that the major sects in the Capital will not believe it. You sent out a group of swords during the day, and at night, the Sword Mountain collapsed for no reason. I'm worried…"

Wu Huaqing could not help but sigh. He felt that there were a few more strands of white hair on his sideburns. In the past, he had always hoped that the disciples of the Supreme Purity Sect would be able to shine in the sect and obtain an outstanding performance in the Dao Conference in the Capital.

Now that Gu Xi had appeared out of nowhere and fulfilled this wish, everyone's eyes were fixed on the Supreme Purity Sect. When things were extreme, they would always turn against each other. However, his feats were so incredible that he wished to keep a low profile.

After all, his heart could not bear it. Just the gazes of those powerful sects and forces put a lot of pressure on him, not to mention having to face the prying eyes from all directions.

Gu Xi understood his concern. "Don't worry, they don't have any evidence, and they can't accuse me of doing it. Otherwise, they would have come looking for trouble long ago."

These words made some sense. If those sects were really sure that it was Gu Xi, they would have come looking for him in the middle of the night. It was already early in the morning, but there was still no movement.

Either they did not have enough evidence, or they were afraid of the power behind Gu Xi and did not dare to act rashly.

However, it was this peaceful peace that made Wu Huaqing more uneasy. It was like the eve of a storm. The surface of the sea seemed calm, but in fact, there was a turbulent undercurrent.

"These few days, we will do what we should do. The more open we are, the more people won't be able to catch us. Otherwise, it will make us look guilty."

Wu Huaqing nodded reluctantly. "Then it'll be as you said."

However, the doubts in his heart were not completely erased. "Do you think there's really such a coincidence in the world? The swords move together during the day, but at night, Sword Mountain no longer exists."

Gu Xi knew the probing meaning in his words. He just smiled and said slyly, "This is too much of a coincidence. The key is to see what those people think."

These words seemed to be an answer, but also as if nothing had happened. Looking at Gu Xi's departing figure, Wu Huaqing's heart tightened. He did not dare to think about it further.

Regardless of whether this matter had anything to do with Gu Xi or not, he was very worried. Otherwise, his small Supreme Purity Sect would not be able to withstand the anger of those sects and forces in the Capital.

Just the Imperial Family's accountability was enough to make him suffer.

After Gu Xi left, his expression was pensive. In his half-asleep state, he only felt a ball of light enter his body yesterday, as well as that strange dream he had.

However, he did not see a single one of those Divine Weapons.

"Could it be that they are inside my body?"

Gu Xi was also very surprised, but other than that, he did not know where those swords had gone.

He suddenly remembered a system notification that popped up in his mind yesterday. Since he had lost consciousness, he did not know whether it was an illusion.

Gu Xi's expression changed. As if he had sensed something, he looked out of the door quietly.

Chapter 102 - The Shock of the Sect Masters, the Time

Chapter 102: The Shock of the Sect Masters, the Time-Reversal Mirror

The other disciples of the Supreme Purity Sect could not feel it, but Gu Xi felt that there were a few more unknown auras nearby. They seemed to have concealed themselves well, but Gu Xi's spiritual sense was too powerful and had already caught their traces. There were even Nirvana stage experts.

Gu Xi guessed that they were sent by the major forces in the Capital to keep an eye on him. After all, the Sword Mountain incident had shaken the entire Capital, and those Divine Weapons that had disappeared without a trace were still missing.

The experts of the major sects all moved out, but they did not find any relevant traces or clues. Even the top-grade Magic Treasures that could be used to trace back time were not found.

At this moment, the Sect Masters and elders of the major sects had arrived at the place where Sword Mountain used to be, but it was now flat ground.

An old man with white hair and beard waved his long sleeves, and countless divine powers gushed out. An ancient-looking mirror appeared in the air.

This mirror was carved with dense patterns and ancient characters. The sun and moon were carved on the left and right, and in the middle was an exquisite time wheel. As the sun and moon changed, the time wheel also slowly rotated.

However, it seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. There was nothing reflected on it. It was extremely strange.

As he muttered, the originally empty mirror gradually revealed a verdant mountain peak. Layers upon layers of mountains were filled with an indescribable mystery. It was the appearance of the Sword Mountain in the past.

When everyone saw this, they could not help but reveal happy expressions. "The Time-reversal Mirror is indeed useful. When we see this, we will be able to know who the culprit is."

However, the image on the mirror did not move at all. It did not change even for a moment.

"Sect Master Li, What's wrong? In order to find the culprit, please activate it quickly."

Faced with their questions, Sect Master Li had some bitterness that he could not say. In the past, when he activated the Time-reversal Mirror, it was always extremely easy. However, this time, there was a powerful resistance.

It was to the extent that even he had to expend a lot of effort to activate it. Being able to have such an image was already his greatest limit. Activating the Time-reversal was simply a fantasy.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone, don't be anxious. I'm activating it."

Looking at the bean-sized beads of sweat on Sect Master Li's forehead and his unsightly expression, everyone had an ominous premonition in their hearts. One had to know that Sect Master Li was very powerful. It was not as if he had not used the Time-reversal Mirror in the past. However, it had never been as difficult as it was now.

Screech!

The mirror suddenly let out a sharp cry, giving everyone a fright. They did not know what had happened, and even the scene was affected, becoming incomparably distorted.

After that, a powerful airflow surged out, like a volcanic eruption. Sect Master Li, who was standing at the side, did not have time to react and defend before he was pushed hundreds of meters away.

If another Sect Master had helped him, he would have fallen to the ground in a sorry state. The smell of blood rolled in his mouth and he spat out a large mouthful of blood.

"Sect Master Li, are you alright?"

Everyone rushed forward to ask, but Sect Master Li seemed to have seen something unbelievable. He pointed to the sky and the others quickly looked over.

The scene in the mirror became extremely distorted. The mountain seemed to have been erased out of thin air. There was no mark at all. As for how it happened and the process, it was impossible to see.

The Sect Masters were confused. They had used the Time-reversal Mirror before, but there had never been such a strange phenomenon.

"What, what is this situation?"

As soon as the voice fell, a shocking Sword Intent came from the sky, but there was no image in the mirror.

It seemed to come from the void space. Shockingly, this sword could even pierce through space and form into substance. It used the mirror as a medium and came to the world.

Everyone's hair stood on end, and goosebumps appeared on their bodies uncontrollably.

They were all Nirvana stage experts, and there were even those who were in the mastery level. When faced with such Sword Intent, they felt like ants. It was as if as long as the sword wielder wanted to, their souls would immediately be destroyed and vanish into thin air.

One had to know that these were powerful Sect Masters and elders who were famous everywhere. Now, they were like ordinary cultivators who were at the mercy of this sword. One could imagine how powerful this kind of power was.

Looking at the mirror that was still a vast expanse of white, everyone felt as if they had been locked onto by the God of Death. An unprecedented terror swept over them, causing them to turn pale with fright. "Quick, quickly close the Time-reversal Mirror!"

They had a premonition that if they really waited for this Sword Intent to penetrate the mirror, even if all of them worked together, they would still not be able to match this sword.

Sect Master Li was also flustered as he formed seals with his hands. He was afraid that if they were a moment too late, they would die here.

A powerful and terrifying aura approached. It was as if it would arrive in front of them in just a second. Everyone subconsciously revealed fearful expressions. The shadow of death hung over their heads, and they could not get rid of it.

The powerful pressure forced them to not even be able to lift their heads. Hence, they did not see the shadow of the man that flashed past in the mirror.

As they spoke, the Time-reversal Mirror dimmed and suddenly fell from the sky. Everything returned to calm and nothingness and the terrifying aura disappeared.

Everyone could not help but heave a sigh of relief, as if they had just walked out from the gates of Hell. Their backs were already drenched in a cold sweat.

After a long while, someone finally spoke, "What kind of power was that? It did not seem like it could be created by humans. Could it be that it was the cause of the collapse of Sword Mountain?"

The Sect Masters looked at each other. One had to know that their status was high and respected, and they were very powerful. It had been a long time since they had such a miserable and fearful feeling.

It was as if a knife was placed on their necks, and that their lives were in the hands of that mysterious power.

Chapter 103 - Primal Chaos Secret Realm!

Chapter 103: Primal Chaos Secret Realm!

Sect Master Li shook his head and revealed a bitter smile. "I can't see any images even with the sect's precious treasure, the Time-reversal Mirror. It seems that it was wiped away by some mysterious and powerful force."

"It's probably that shocking sword that we saw just now. Could it be that something in the depths of Sword Mountain was awakened? Is that legend true?"

No one knew who said this, but it caused everyone to fall into a dead silence.

1

The Sect Masters seemed to have thought of something, and their expressions were extremely complicated.

There were many secrets in Sword Mountain, and until now, no one had fully understood them, so they did not dare to disturb them. Although many large sects and forces coveted Sword Mountain, no one had ever dared to actually take action.

That was because there was another ancient legend about the Sword Mountain. Very few people knew about it. Basically, only the Sect Masters or elders of the super sects knew about it.

The reason for the existence of Sword Mountain was to suppress an ancient existence. As for what it suppressed, no one knew. However, this point was very vague, and there were no records of it in the relevant books and history.

It gave people the feeling that it was a forbidden area that could not be touched.

In addition, there were too few people who knew, so everyone did not take it to heart. However, the Sect Masters knew. They shook their heads and said hesitantly, "It shouldn't be possible. If it really suppressed something that significant, we should have noticed it. It's impossible that those seniors did not leave any relevant records and hints."

Everyone thought for a long time, but they still could not figure out where the shocking Sword Intent that appeared in the Time-reversal Mirror came from. It did not feel like it came from Sword Mountain.

"Should we activate it again and see?"

No one knew who suggested it, but everyone looked at him speechlessly. "We were lucky to escape this time. If it's the next time, who can guarantee that there won't be any accidents?"

Even Sect Master Li shook his head crazily and said tactfully, "Judging from the situation, I can't guarantee that there won't be any danger."

After all, none of the people present could resist it. If it were not for the fact that the Time-reversal Mirror had been shut down in time, everyone would have turned into ghosts by now.

Seeing that they had not gotten any clues and had almost lost their lives, everyone no longer thought about the Time-reversal Mirror.

"I told you to keep an eye on Gu Xi. Is there any movement from him?"

"Everything is very calm. There's nothing unusual."

At first, the crowd was still a little suspicious, but they felt that Gu Xi did not have the strength. In addition to what had happened just now, even if it really had something to do with Gu Xi, they would not be able to deal with it for the time being. They had no choice but to plan for it in the future.

Sect leader Li picked up the mirror that had fallen on the ground. His face was full of shock, and his hands were trembling.

There was an unfathomable crack in the mirror. It should have been caused by Sword Qi. The spiritual Qi was wanton, and the interior was completely destroyed. It seemed that it could no longer be used.

One had to know that this was a quasi-divine weapon. It was made of the strongest material, the Five-Colored Divine Stone, polished and smooth. Even a Divine Weapon would find it difficult to leave a mark on it, but now there was such a big crack.

The hearts of everyone once again turned cold. If that Sword Qi really landed on their bodies? Who knew what the consequences would be.

"We can't be too rash about Sword Mountain's matter. There are too many suspicious points…"

Soon, these sects were no longer in the mood to pay attention to Sword Mountain's matter, because the Primal Chaos Secret Realm had appeared!

The Primal Chaos Secret Realm was a Secret Realm left behind from ancient times. It was said that there were Great Emperor's treasures inside, and there were even many treasures left behind from ancient times. It was filled with all sorts of opportunities and Immortal fates, but it was also extremely dangerous.

Not to mention that it was filled with all kinds of fierce beasts, there were also killing arrays left behind. In short, danger and opportunities coexisted. Most of the people who entered died within it. They either died from fierce beasts, or they died from fighting others for the treasures. This kind of thing was all too common in Secret Realms.

Even so, there were quite a number of people who flocked to Secret Realms. It was just for those heaven-defying Magic Treasures, pills, and Cultivation Methods. If one could obtain one of them, it could be said that one would be able to soar to the sky with a single step.

However, the Primal Chaos Secret Realm was too mysterious. It would only open once every hundred years, and every time it appeared, it would appear in a different place. It was simply impossible for people to grasp the patterns within.

The strange thing was that it had only been a few decades since the last time the Primal Chaos Secret Realm had appeared. Now that it had appeared so quickly, it was truly inconceivable. The place where the Primal Chaos Secret Realm had appeared this time was actually in the Capital. It was just in time for the Dao Conference, a gathering of heroes.

It was likely that another storm of blood would be stirred up.

Previously, many people had received the news, but they were not certain. Now that it had completely appeared, it could be said that various powers were taking action one after another.

The Imperial Palace.

One could only see white fog swirling around this place. One could faintly see pavilions and pagodas that were faintly discernible. Exquisite murals were engraved with flying patterns, and the sound of flowing water could be heard endlessly. It illuminated a patch of jade-green in the distance, as if one was in a fairyland.

It was clearly not the season for peach blossoms to bloom, but the peach blossoms here were blooming exceptionally brilliantly. A gentle breeze blew, and the peach blossoms rustled down, covering the path formed by the small pebbles in the middle. The ethereal sound of a zither could be heard along the path.

It was hard to imagine that there would be such a paradise-like residence in the glorious imperial city of the Golden Wall. One could not help but wonder who exactly lived there.

The sound of the zither came to an abrupt end, followed by a female voice. There was a hint of shock in the voice that said, "Didn't you say that it would take at least half a month for it to appear? Why is it now–"

Green Lotus Princess's expression changed slightly. The force was so great that she did not even notice that one of the zither strings in her hand was broken.

"This subordinate does not know either. The Princess has sent us to keep a close watch on the movements of the Secret Realm. However, the phenomenon of the Secret Realm suddenly expanded today. It is impossible to cover it up even if we wanted to. I'm afraid that it has already caused a sensation throughout the entire Capital!"

Chapter 104 - The Sensation in the Capital

Chapter 104: The Sensation in the Capital

Green Lotus Princess accidentally touched the remaining strings of the zither. The sound of the zither was incessant, but it was not as melodious and pleasant as before, just like her current complicated emotions.

The Princess faintly sighed and said, "Forget it. Perhaps this was arranged by the Heavens. It is not something that we can stop."

"Then what should we do now?"

"Elder Zhao still hasn't received any new information. Right now, we can only take one step at a time."

Green Lotus Princess lowered her brows in deep thought. Her gaze fell into the distance, and her beautiful eyes were somewhat solemn. "The Capital has really been troubled these past few days…"

She seemed to have thought of something and said to the maidservant beside her, "Has the quota for the Primal Chaos Secret Realm been released yet?"

The maidservant shook her head and said, "The Primal Chaos Secret Realm is extremely unstable, so I'm afraid the quota for this year will be much smaller. The various sects and factions fighting over the quota will inevitably lead to disputes."

Green Lotus Princess revealed a thoughtful expression. "Is that so… then go and help me do something."

At this moment, in the streets and alleys of the Capital, the crowd had not yet recovered from the shock of Sword Mountain turning into flat ground when they heard the news of the Primal Chaos Secret Realm appearing.

"What! The Primal Chaos Secret Realm has appeared, and this time, it's in the Capital."

"It's absolutely true. I've seen it all. With such a grand and shocking scene, the various great sects and factions have already sent people over."

"Strange things happen every year, and this year there are especially many. First, there was the Capital Dao Conference, then there was the Flawless quality medicinal pill, and then there was the appearance of the Divine Sword. Not only did those Divine Weapons disappear without a trace after Sword Mountain collapsed, but now there's also the Primal Chaos Secret Realm…"

Some people could not help but sigh, immediately gaining the approval of quite a few people around them.

Their companion half-jokingly said, "That's right. Everything happened together, as if it were an agreement. Could it be that there's some sort of relationship between them?"

Joking aside, whether it was the Capital Dao Conference, the Sword Mountain, or the Primal Chaos Secret Realm, they could only be said to be coincidences, although all of this was a bit too coincidental.

"But the Dao Conference isn't over yet. What should we do with the next few matches?"

"Do you think those people still have the mood to compete with the appearance of the Primal Chaos Secret Realm? The judges have already sent out the latest news that the competition will be postponed. They will wait until the Primal Chaos Secret Realm is closed before choosing a new time."

Although the Capital Dao conference was also very important, compared to the Primal Chaos Secret Realm, it was somewhat insignificant.

After all, the Primal Chaos Secret Realm only opened once every hundred years. Every time, the location was different, the kind that could only be encountered by chance. It was not uncommon for cultivators' lifespan to reach several hundred years, and there were many secret treasures within these Secret Realms. Which faction did not want to obtain them?

"Sigh, it's no wonder. It's just that it's only been a few decades since the last time the Primal Chaos Secret Realm opened. This time, it suddenly opened ahead of schedule. This is something unprecedented."

Everyone was talking about it. The streets and alleys were all about the Primal Chaos Secret Realm, which overshadowed the popularity of the news about Sword Mountain. After all, the status of the two could not be compared.

The people of the Supreme Purity Sect also received the news.

They had only heard a little about the Supreme Purity Sect, but they had never participated in it. After all, small sects like them were not qualified to participate.

Even if they did, with the strength of their sects, they would probably be killed as soon as they entered. But now…

Not long after Wu Huaqing left, he hurriedly looked for Gu Xi and said excitedly, "The Primal Chaos Secret Realm has appeared!"

Gu Xi was a little confused. "Primal Chaos Secret Realm?"

Wu Huaqing was surprised that he did not know about the Primal Chaos Secret Realm, so he quickly explained, "This Secret Realm only appears after a hundred years. There are countless secret treasures inside, and there are even rumors that there is an Emperor's treasure. All in all, there is a huge opportunity. I think you should give it a try."

Wu Huaqing would not have dared to say that in the past, but after these few rounds, Gu Xi's strength was enough to shock him.

He even had hope that Gu Xi could enter the Secret Realm. In fact, Wu Huaqing was a little selfish. If Gu Xi could enter the Secret Realm to strengthen his own cultivation, it would also increase the sect's combat power.

At least, they would not be totally defenseless if those people were to come knocking on the sect's door, looking for trouble. Wu Huaqing always felt that Sword Mountain incident had something to do with Gu Xi.

Gu Xi was deep in thought. This Primal Chaos Secret Realm was worth venturing into. Even if could obtain some incomplete Cultivation Methods, he could extract them through the System. That was a treasure left behind from ancient times, so its power must be extraordinary.

Thinking of this, Gu Xi's heart warmed up.

"But there's one thing I want to tell you. The Secret Realm is extremely dangerous. Not only are there ancient ferocious beasts, but there's also an unknown array formation. The slightest carelessness will result in the destruction of one's soul. There will also be cases of people killing and snatching treasures."

Speaking of this, Wu Huaqing looked at Gu Xi uneasily, worried that he would cower because of this.

However, Gu Xi did not take it to heart. Since ancient times, danger and opportunities existed together. If he were to cower because of this and live in his comfort zone, he was afraid that he would not be able to advance in his cultivation for the rest of his life.

Moreover, he had quite a number of treasures and medicinal pills on him. Coupled with the System, it would not be so easy to deal with him. Even if it was a Primal Chaos Secret Realm, Gu Xi was confident that he could go and explore it. He might even have some unexpected gains.

"I'll be careful."

Wu Huaqing then asked his disciple to scout for information and see how the quota distribution for this year's Primal Chaos Secret Realm was.

Gu XIicould not help but ask, "Is there a limit to how many people can enter the Secret Realm?"

Wu Huaqing nodded and said, "The Secret Realm will sometimes be unstable. If too many people enter, it might collapse or suddenly close. Not only is there a limit to the number of people, but there is also a limit to their cultivation."

There was a benefit to the Primal Chaos Secret Realm. Although it was dangerous and there were cases of killing and snatching treasures, due to the limitation of cultivation, it prevented some old monsters from participating in the massacre of cultivators.
