Chapter 1011: Chapter 1012: Return to Sword Sect
Eastern Continent.
On this day, every living being across the continent clearly saw the sky suddenly turn gloomy.
Nearly a million sword immortals trod upon flying swords, soaring through the air like a long dragon that obscured the sun. The sharp Sword Qi crisscrossed everywhere, and even without explicit display, the formidable aura of a million people was something ordinary folks couldn’t bear to witness, feeling their eyes sting from just a brief glance upward at the Sword Intent.
“Immortals above, we humbly welcome the Immortals!”
The common people, not knowing what was happening, assumed it was the Immortals patrolling to bless all under heaven, and they knelt to worship one after another.
Li Xiaobai was also greatly stirred. To mobilize the force of a million cultivators was indeed a mighty feat, akin to an emperor’s procession, where no cultivator under heaven would dare disobey; having this kind of power was definitely advantageous.
If you capture one of us, I’ll annihilate your entire Sect, bringing all our sect’s cultivators to wipe yours out. How can you even compete with that?
It’s unlikely that any force within the Central Origin Realm would wish to engage in such play.
“Whoosh!”
A supremely pure Sword Intent flashed through the void, landing on a child at the back of a truck, who had recently viewed the Blade Formation Array and perceived a sword. At that moment, touched by the million cultivators’ flight, the child perceived yet again.
Among a hundred children, this was a significant lead, since even the ten most fierce who had understood battle intent had not experienced such repeated realizations.
A small golden sword landed on the child’s head, identical to the first but with an addition of the character “Authority” engraved on the hilt.
“Yiyiyaya!”
As if on cue, a toddler charged instinctively towards the child who had just comprehended the Sword of Authority. Kicking Ergouzi between the legs, the toddler reached out to grasp the golden sword, frightening the child into retreating continuously and dissolving the Sword Intent back to the mundane.
“The toddler declared he’ll be the boss from now on; anyone who dares to show something unusual, he’ll beat them up!” Ergouzi parroted, dragging out his words in a roguish manner.
The other children shrank into corners, not daring to make any moves, and only then did the toddler nod in satisfaction.
“This child will surely become a sword immortal one day!”
Li Xiaobai ignored their squabbling and murmured to himself as he watched the child who had shown the anomaly.
It seemed the children’s first insights had already determined their future paths.
These children were all kidnapped by the Buddhist Sect and hadn’t even been named yet. He would name them later, effectively planting roots for the Sword Sect to sprout.
Inside the Sword Sect.
Li Xiaobai and the others returned to their gate, filled with myriad emotions.
The Sword Sect hadn’t changed much, a colossal peak that awkwardly pierced the clouds stood within the sect grounds, sprinkled with stars, showcasing its uniqueness and the owner’s unparalleled privilege.
All the Disciples in the sect were brought out by the old beggar, appearing very excited as they walked. Firstly, because they could support Sect Master Li and the Sect Master with their own abilities, and secondly, because today’s action was really impressive.
“I never imagined there would come a day when we could stand shoulder to shoulder with Sect Master Ying and Sect Master Li. I could brag about this for a lifetime!”
“In the future, this will be my tale to regale over tea and meals. In a few days, I’m headed to a frontier country to find a small teahouse and share this story properly!”
“Hehehe, I’m different. I’m going to write this down and read it to my son, let him know his father is no ordinary person!”
“Hahaha, from now on, we might as well consider ourselves sword immortals…”
The cultivators of the Sword Sect chatted excitedly, their spirits high for a long time.
Cultivating a sword for ten years, they had been grinding for decades, all for the hope that one day they could be of use.
“Not only has it come into use now, but it is a great use indeed!
Mobilizing the entire Sect’s might to suppress the Blade Sect and rescue the Sect Master and Peak Masters!
The Saint Realm Strong Expert, Xiao Lao Di, personally led the team, with ten Half-Saint experts accompanying him. All the disciples of the Sword Sect emerged to cut down two Half-Saint strong experts from the Blade Sect, which even made the great sects of the Eastern Continent submit voluntarily. Could there be anything more exciting than this?
Today’s battle will be the battle that makes all cultivators of the Sword Sect famous, and after today, no sect in the Eastern Continent will dare to oppose the Sword Sect.”
“Little Junior Brother, this is your mountain top, quite impressive!”
Liu Jinshui marveled, the mountain top seemed even bigger than the sect, and his little junior brother was indeed doing well in the Eastern Continent!
“From now on, I will follow you, Brother. Though the Southern Continent has our big senior sister and I could even become a Saint Heir, being subject to others everywhere is too suffocating. It’s better here with you, Junior Brother. Although our sect is somewhat inferior, it has unlimited potential!”
Reminded of the infighting within the sect, Liu Jinshui felt immensely stressed—better to be a head chicken than a tail phoenix, he thought this place was quite nice.
“Brother, you are always welcome here. When I get back, I’ll find you a steward position at the Second Peak.”
Li Xiaobai said cheerily, feeling relieved to have returned safely to the Sword Sect.
“Little Junior Brother, could you spill the details about Elder Tianwu’s current cultivation level?”
Liu Jinshui whispered mysteriously to Li Xiaobai.
“If I am not mistaken, it should be the Earth Immortal Realm?”
Li Xiaobai recalled for a moment and answered. When he had left the Sword Sect to go to the Western Continent Buddha Nation, this old man had already entered the Earth Immortal Realm, and without some special opportunity, it would be difficult to ascend to the ranks of the Celestials in a short time.
“Just an Earth Immortal?”
“Since when did Earth Immortals dare to be so arrogant? The old man really has a big heart!”
Liu Jinshui was dumbstruck. He could accept it if the old man were a Half-Saint, but just an Earth Immortal who impersonated Xiao Lao Di and even bossed Half-Saints around with commands?
Wasn’t he afraid?
“Gentlemen, please step into the Sect Master Hall for a chat.”
Ying Diao said loudly.
After entering the Sword Sect, the sect disciples disbanded on their own, and Li Xiaobai followed the ragged old man into the sect grand hall.
“Please, Senior!”
Ying Diao actively offered the seat, inviting the ragged old man to sit in the position of the Sect Master. He had no qualms in his heart; Senior Xiao Lao Di’s cultivation was unmatched, and to him, the Sword Sect was merely a passerby with no issues of power struggle.
“You are the Sect Master; this seat should naturally be yours. I have not reached the point of shamelessly occupying someone else’s position.”
The ragged old man waved his hand and casually found a seat to sit down, followed closely by the ten Half-Saint experts.
“The reason you all have come today is probably due to your own sect disciples being here. Please wait for a moment, I’ve already sent a disciple to fetch them for a reunion.”
After everyone was seated, Ying Diao said with a faint smile.
These super sects sending people was naturally to take back their own disciples. He was only too glad to get rid of these hot potatoes, for if the enemy attacked one day and a disciple was unintentionally killed, it would be difficult to explain to these top forces.
But the following words from the portly middle-aged man left him stunned.
“Don’t worry, we indeed came for these unworthy disciples, but not to take them back. Instead, we want them to continue their cultivation in the Sword Sect; we even want to form a cooperation with the Sword Sect to send more sect disciples here for cultivation!”
“As long as Sect Master Ying agrees to my request, name your price; consider it as covering the food expenses!”
What do you think?
