Born with immortal seed

Chapter 837 The Nameless One

Qin Wulie asked three times, but no one responded, and the entire room fell silent.

Even though on the surface they seemed to have been forced back by Lu Yunji, the other sword cultivators gradually realized that it was actually the swordsmen of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion who had the upper hand.

Even the sixth-tier flying sword of the successor of the Three Immortal Islands couldn't stop the summoning of the Sword Master statue; the rest of them would just be wasting their lives.

Many people turned their attention to Shang Heng, who had previously displayed great prowess, to see if the direct descendant of the One Heart Sword Sect, ranked only below the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, would have any ideas.

However, Shang Heng was clearly going to disappoint these people, keeping his eyes down and showing no intention of making a challenge.

The Heart Sword is capable of fighting any cultivator under heaven, but it is completely restrained by the Supreme Ruthless Dao.

To challenge them would only bring shame upon oneself.

Having achieved his primary objective on this trip, Shang Heng no longer wanted to cause any more trouble.

Just when Qin Wulie felt that no one would challenge him and he could smoothly take over the Heaven-Opening Sword Furnace, a clear voice rang out: "I would like to ask Qin Jianzi for some guidance, and I hope he will not hesitate to teach me."

A cultivator dressed in a blue robe, with an otherworldly air, stepped out from the crowd.

Previously, it went unnoticed, like a drop of water disappearing into the ocean.

Despite being one of the few Void Refinement cultivators present, no one paid him any attention.

The cultivators were in an uproar, as the newcomer only displayed the early stage of the Void Refinement realm.

He didn't introduce himself, and no one knew which major sect he came from, so where did he get the confidence to stand up and challenge Qin Wulie?

Even if one wants to make a name for themselves on this occasion, a huge disparity will only backfire and turn them into a laughing stock.

"What do you call fellow Taoist?"

Qin Wulie remained calm, showing little anger at the sword cultivator who had disrupted the already settled situation.

In his perception, although this unfamiliar swordsman's cultivation level was not high, the danger he posed was no less than that of Lu Yunji.

This is a warning from the Sword Master statue, far more reliable than spiritual perception or eye techniques.

"I'm just an anonymous person. I just couldn't resist the urge to go on stage and take on the challenge."

The unfamiliar swordsman refused to reveal his identity, but simply raised his hand in a sword-wielding gesture, and a surge of sword intent arose within him.

"Then please draw your sword, fellow Daoist."

Having defeated Lu Yunji of the Three Immortal Islands, Qin Wulie's momentum was at its peak. The Sword Venerable statue slowly turned around, looking down at the ants beneath his feet.

The nameless swordsman unleashed two sword lights, their forms shifting and changing, one extremely dynamic, the other extremely still.

Creation and destruction sword intents intertwine and rise, unremarkable when first unleashed, but evolving into cosmic changes halfway through, their mysteries beyond words.

"To be able to achieve this level of combining two extreme sword intents, and do so through so many flying swords, is truly unbelievable..."

With Qin Wulie's keen insight, he saw through the ins and outs of the sword technique at a glance.

The sword intent of birth and death is not unusual, but for a fifth-order flying sword to evolve such a near-realistic effect, the mastery of swordsmanship is terrifying.

Moreover, as the two sword lights constantly appeared and disappeared, their power grew more and more immense with each strike, increasing exponentially as if there were no upper limit.

The combination of different sword intents dazzled the sword cultivators who were encountering them for the first time, leaving them completely unsure how to defend themselves.

"No wonder he dared to step forward and challenge; it turns out he has such a skill, making it easy for him to challenge opponents of higher levels..."

Qin Wulie dared not be careless. The sword techniques used by this nameless swordsman seemed to have many imperfections in their finer details, unlike those of a famous sect.

But its ambition is extremely high, and it seems to have broad prospects for development, which is not something that some unorthodox Zen practitioner could achieve.

More likely, it's a game casually created by a remarkable sword cultivator who has mastered the fusion technique, and it hasn't been refined yet.

The simplest solution would be to cut off its foundation.

Without those flying swords, how can the sword intent of birth and death continue to evolve?

The closed-eyes sword master statue suddenly opened its eyes and looked over without any emotion. Everyone's flying swords in the arena began to tremble and shake, emitting rapid sword cries.

These are merely bystanders caught in the crossfire, and as those whose gaze is directly on the center, they face the same trials as Lu Yunji before them.

No one would think that an unknown early-stage Void Refinement sword cultivator could withstand it.

But the next moment, the light of life and death remained as stable as ever, and even evolved into an even more turbulent force.

"How can it be!"

Qin Wulie was shocked. How could a mere fifth-order flying sword withstand the summoning of the Supreme Sword Venerable's Dao Body?

We tested it in the Heavenly Sword Pavilion long ago; it couldn't stop a sixth-order flying sword, and it even shook when held by a Nascent Soul expert.

This unexpected result triggered a chain reaction, causing Qin Wulie to react a beat too late. He could only forcefully swing the Nine Heavens Righteous Sword away, trying to block the sword light in front of him.

He unleashed the strongest defensive sword technique secretly passed down by the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, changing hundreds of sword styles in succession, before finally extinguishing the two extreme sword lights.

Looking down, his expression changed drastically.

Without realizing it, they had already moved back three steps.

"Fellow Daoist has passed the test and is qualified to enter the Sword Furnace..."

Qin Wulie was momentarily dazed, unable to break his promise, and stepped aside to allow entry into the Heaven-Opening Sword Furnace.

The main reason for the defeat was that they were caught off guard. If they had known that the Supreme Sword Master's Dao Body was malfunctioning and had made preparations in advance, they would have been able to withstand the Life and Death Sword Light once again.

"Thank you for showing mercy, Qin Jianzi."

The nameless swordsman sheathed his sword, bowed, and unlike Lu Yunji, strode inside.

"Senior brother, are we really going to let this person enter the sword furnace?"

A monk with thick, black hair approached and asked softly.

“Since it was agreed beforehand, it must be done this way. I cannot bear the consequences of breaking my promise, and the sect cannot bear them either... In any case, only disciples of this sect can take what our grandmaster left behind. Even if outsiders stumble upon it, they can only watch helplessly. Sealing the sword furnace is mainly for the sake of peace and quiet, to avoid unnecessary trouble.”

Qin Wulie waved his hand, indicating that the consequences of this matter were not as serious as imagined, and there was no need to lose his composure.

"This person's origins are unknown, and his swordsmanship is unknown. He is so mysterious that I'm afraid he is a pawn sent by some powerful force... That's why he was able to block my summoning of the flying sword. Brother Ning, you were born with the ability to dream of strange phenomena, and you are the most proficient in arithmetic among us. Please use the Six Ren Divine Calculation to make a prediction."

"Okay, I'll cast a divination now."

Junior Brother Ning took out a bronze celestial plate, arranged the celestial generals and divine spirits, and began the Six Ren Divine Calculation.

A moment later, the celestial disc split into twelve pieces. Opening its eyes, it exclaimed in surprise, "A thick fog! I can't see anything at all! Even a Nascent Soul cultivator can be vaguely discerned by me. It shouldn't be like this."

"It seems we can confirm that he is a cultivator with a powerful background... I'll go and meet him to see what his purpose is in entering the Heaven-Opening Sword Furnace!"

Qin Wulie believed that if he went all out and there were no restrictions on his moves, this mysterious swordsman would be no match for him.

"Disperse the cultivators here and stop them from gathering. Although we don't know what our grandmaster's relics are, they were hidden so deep and were only discovered in recent years, so they must not be simple items."

After giving his instructions, he turned and entered the Heaven-Opening Sword Furnace, and the dazzling fireball, as bright as the sun, gradually faded away.

……

"The founder of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, and over the years, how many spiritual materials have been put into the sword furnace? Even the ground is paved with five-colored mud."

Bai Zichen casually picked up a handful of pebbles, which turned out to be fifth-order Heavenly River Star Sand.

From the outside, the Heaven-Opening Sword Furnace looks like just a large house, but once inside, winding paths lead to a vast space.

Everywhere you look, there's soil and gravel; every brick and tile is a top-grade material for refining weapons.

According to the only memories the Ziwei Xuanlei Sword possesses, only by going to the deepest part of the Kaitian Sword Furnace can it be restored to the sixth rank.

"There are so many talented people in the Earth Immortal Realm. The Heaven-Opening Sword Furnace has attracted so many people, and several of them have the potential to merge into one... Qin Wulie's talent is similar to that of the Heartless Sword Immortal, but he is even more domineering and powerful. He can be called the nemesis of all sword cultivators in the world."

In order to upgrade the Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword, Bai Zichen did not stop after entering the Seven Treasures Immortal Realm and went straight to Lihentian.

After waiting for months, the day finally arrived when the Heaven-Opening Sword Furnace was opened, and I witnessed the entire spectacular process.

If he hadn't been confident in the Supreme Pure Sword Box, he would have found it difficult to defeat Qin Wulie in a single move without using the Time-Traveling Divine Power.

To avoid revealing his lineage, he deliberately replaced the Purple Star Thunderclap Sword, worried that this Heartless Sword Immortal's personal flying sword would be recognized.

As it turns out, the Supreme Pure Micro Sword Box's enhancement effect on flying swords is even better than expected.

Under the gaze of the Sword Master statue, the twelve flying swords remained unmoved, showing no sign of scattering.

"After defeating Qin Wulie, the Heavenly Sword Pavilion will definitely investigate me thoroughly... Fortunately, even the Heavenly Sword Pavilion's control is far less than that of the Dao Court at its peak. As long as my whereabouts are not discovered, it is not difficult to hide myself."

Bai Zichen wandered around in circles, asking Xiao Zi to guide him by instinct whenever they encountered a fork in the road. Finally, they left behind the monotonous scenery, with clusters of strange flames hanging above their heads.

Some are as brilliant as stars, some are as clear as crystal, some are as smooth as water...

"I have some recollection of this place. The previous master must have been here, using some method to condense these clusters of spiritual sword essence. By extracting the spiritual energy from each sword forging process and releasing just one cluster, he could ensure that all ten flying swords spewed out by the Heaven-Opening Sword Furnace the next time would reach near-sixth rank!"

The little purple sword spirit looked around, and the sight stirred up many memories, restoring a significant portion of its past.

"As long as I find a suitable spirit sword essence and absorb it, I can immediately return to the sixth rank!"

Bai Zichen moved closer and sensed the complex restrictions on these strange flames, which confined their immense spiritual energy within a small cluster.

Once touched, it will be scattered back into every corner of the Heaven-Opening Sword Furnace. He said, "This thing seems difficult to obtain. Do you have any ideas?"

Forcibly breaking the restriction might destroy the essence of the spirit sword.

I wanted to analyze it carefully, peel back the layers, but I didn't have the time.

If Qin Wulie were chasing after them, he would never allow the things left behind by the senior of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion to fall into the hands of others.

“You have a sword case. The restrictions left by the previous owner can be easily broken without any difficulty.”

Xiao Zi was a little impatient. She fell all the way down from the sixth-order flying sword and degenerated into a sword embryo.

If they stay in the secret realm any longer, they may be completely annihilated.

After regaining consciousness and finally seeing the sixth-order dawn, how could he not be excited?

"With so much spiritual sword essence, wouldn't it be possible to advance several flying swords to the next level?"

Judging from the timing of the Heartless Sword Immortal's actions, the dozen or so clusters of spiritual sword essence above his head were equivalent to the accumulation of the Heaven-Opening Sword Furnace over tens of thousands of years.

This sparked Bai Zichen's ambition, and perhaps he could use this opportunity to make a great leap forward in the grade of his flying sword.
