I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

"?"

Lin Xuanjing suddenly looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his most perceptive eyes.

He is a cultivator with the wind spirit root, and is most sensitive to the flow of spiritual energy in heaven and earth.

At this moment, he clearly sensed that the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuations were becoming chaotic, as if something was stirring up this world.

That was no ordinary disorder.

Rather, a unique attraction is rising!

That power surged from Lin Xuanfeng's body, like an invisible vortex, frantically drawing in, gathering, and compressing the spiritual energy within a radius of several miles!

Understanding what had happened, the solemnity on Lin Che's face finally dissipated, replaced by a relieved smile.

"Xuanfeng succeeded."

Before the words were finished—

"boom!"

A powerful surge of sword energy erupted from Lin Xuanfeng's body!

The sheer power, intensity, and purity of that sword energy shocked everyone present!

Within the Lin family's treasury, the treasured spirit swords seemed to be summoned by something, emitting sharp sword cries!

They broke free of the sword rack uncontrollably and soared into the sky!

The spirit swords at the waists and on the backs of the retainers also suddenly erupted at this moment!

Those magical artifacts that had followed their master for many years seemed to have their own will at this moment, and despite their master's horror, they flew straight into the sky!

The guest advisors were horrified. Some reached out to grab it, but only grasped at thin air.

"What's going on?!"

"My sword!"

However, this is just the beginning.

It's not just the Lin family.

All swords within a hundred miles of Shattered Star Lake.

Whether it was the sword in the hands of a rogue cultivator, the sword on display for sale in a shop, or even a broken sword buried underground and forgotten by people, they all flew up at the same time!

"What's going on?!"

"What's going on?!"

"My sword! My sword has flown away!"

The rogue cultivators looked up in bewilderment, watching their beloved swords fly uncontrollably into the sky, their faces filled with shock and confusion.

Someone tried to reach out and grab it, but only managed to grab empty air;

Someone tried to recall the sword using sword control techniques, only to find that the connection with the sword had been completely severed.

Then they saw it.

Above Shattered Star Lake.

A gigantic sword-shaped star is slowly taking shape!

The sword-shaped star was a hundred feet long, its entire body shimmering with golden light, like a divine sword stretching across the sky, radiating a terrifying pressure.

It just floated there, quietly looking down at everything below.

The swords that flew in from all directions transformed into a vast river of swords, rushing madly toward the sword-shaped star!

Thousands upon thousands of spirit swords converged into a silver torrent, winding and swirling in the sky, eventually encircling the sword-shaped star, forming a spectacular phenomenon.

Ten thousand swords pay homage!

"This is……"

Lin Xuanjing's eyes widened, his face filled with shock.

He had seen many grand occasions, but he had never seen anything like this.

The sight of thousands upon thousands of spirit swords swirling around the sword-shaped star left him speechless for a long time.

Even Lin Xuanyu's perpetually cold face showed a look of amazement at this moment.

His approach to chess emphasizes strategy and planning, but what he is seeing now has transcended the scope of any chess game.

This is a true celestial phenomenon, an affirmation from heaven and earth.

Lin Xuanqing let out a long sigh of relief.

She knew better than anyone what this meant.

Third Brother succeeded.

The next moment, Lin Xuanfeng's entire body erupted with astonishing sword light!

The sword light burst forth from his body, like countless invisible swords piercing through the void!

His figure appeared and disappeared amidst the sword light, as if he were merging with it!

The enormous sword-shaped star in the sky suddenly shot upwards!

With unstoppable force, it crashed straight into the heavy dark clouds pressing down on Shattered Star Lake.

"Boom—!"

A deafening roar!

The thick, dark clouds that had shrouded the area all day were torn apart at that moment!

Golden sunlight poured down from the crack, illuminating the entire Shattered Star Lake until it was crystal clear!

The sky cleared up and became dazzling, as if the gloomy and oppressive weather just now was nothing but an illusion.

And the long river of swords surrounding the sword-shaped star shattered at that moment!

Thousands upon thousands of spirit swords exploded simultaneously, turning into countless tiny specks of light!

The points of light did not dissipate, but under the guidance of some mysterious force, they transformed into strands of the purest sword essence, surging towards Lin Xuanfeng below!

The sword spirit of the Heavenly Gang Sword emerged from Lin Xuanfeng's body at this moment.

It was still that illusory figure, but it looked much more solid than before.

It opened its arms to welcome the sword's origin that descended from the sky.

The strange phenomenon enveloped the entire essence of swordsmanship, merging with the sword spirit!

Golden light flourishes!

The light enveloped Lin Xuanfeng, as if draping him in a golden battle armor.

Within his dantian, strands of sword essence and sword spirit power slowly condensed, compressed, and merged.

Finally, a sword-shaped phantom slowly took shape in his dantian.

Sword Soul Core.

At this point, Lin Xuanfeng's Undying Sword Soul Body has truly awakened successfully!

The golden light gradually faded away.

Lin Xuanfeng slowly opened his eyes.

He looked down at his hands, his eyes filled with a mixture of disbelief, surprise, and astonishment.

Not the same.

He felt completely different from before.

He used to be a man who fought with a sword.

The sword is a tool, a partner, an extended arm.

Now, he himself seems to be a sword.

He looked at his hands, which were still broad and rough, yet faintly revealed a sharpness like that of a sword.

He looked around at the world, and the sword manuals he had learned in the past seemed so simple to him now.

Those complex and obscure sword techniques, those sword intents that required deep contemplation to comprehend, were now as clear as instinct.

The moves that used to be confusing are now no longer an obstacle.

He finally possessed the power to protect his family.

"Great job, third brother!"

Lin Xuanjing was the first to rush up and slap him on the broad shoulder with such force that Lin Xuanfeng winced.

"Your swordsmanship looks incredibly powerful!"

Lin Xuanjing's eyes shone with an astonishing light: "From now on, let's see who dares to oppose the Lin family! One comes, you cut one down; two come, you cut both down!"

Lin Xuanfeng stumbled from the slap and irritably pushed his hand away, saying, "Could you be a little gentler?"

"What do you mean 'lightly'!" Lin Xuanjing laughed heartily. "I call this enthusiasm! I call this congratulations!"

Everyone stepped forward, offering their congratulations in a flurry of voices.

Lin Xuanqi patted his third brother's arm with a smile, his round face full of satisfaction;

Lin Xuanyu remained silent, but nodded slightly, the smile on his lips revealing a deep emotion.

Lin Xuandong squeezed into the crowd, tiptoed to look inside, and kept saying, "Third Brother, let me see."

At the back of the crowd, Su Wanwan held Liu Qingxue's hand tightly and finally let out a long sigh of relief.

From the moment her son began to awaken, her hands trembled and her heart was constantly in suspense.

She dared not step forward or make a sound, fearing that any action she took would disturb her son.

At this moment, seeing her son surrounded by people, with that familiar smile on his face, she finally felt relieved after a whole day of worry.

Liu Qingxue glanced at her, and a rare smile appeared on her usually cold face.

"Are you relieved now?" she asked softly. "Should I go and congratulate you?"

Su Wanwan rolled her eyes at her, but couldn't help but smile.

"Hmph, I'm not going, otherwise that kid will get cocky."

That's what she said, but the smile in her eyes never stopped from beginning to end.

……

The territory of Chuyang City.

Countless rogue cultivators looked up at the direction of Shattered Star Lake, at the slowly dissipating sword-shaped star, and at the golden light filling the sky, their faces filled with shock and bewilderment.

Those rogue cultivators whose spirit swords mysteriously flew away were especially abuzz with discussion.

"That must be the Lin family, right?"

"Someone in the Lin family has awakened the Sword Body! It's definitely the Sword Body!"

"My sword... my sword is still over there!"

"Come on, the fact that your broken sword can be summoned by its own body is a testament to the good deeds of your ancestors!"

"You're not using a spirit sword, of course you're not in a hurry!"

The strange phenomenon above Shattered Star Lake has attracted the attention of various forces.

The Zhou family's land.

Zhou Wanhong stood in the courtyard, staring at the fading golden light in the distance, his teeth almost grinding to powder.

"Sword Body... Someone in the Lin family has awakened the Sword Body!"

He beat his chest in frustration, his face revealing undisguised envy and jealousy.

"Why doesn't my Zhou family have such good fortune! Why!"

The Li family's land.

Li Guanhai stroked his beard, gazing at the distant Shattered Star Lake, his face full of emotion.

"The Lin family has produced another prodigy."

He stroked his chin, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

When the marriage proposal was first made to the Lin family, the head of the Lin family said to wait a little longer.

Lin Xuanjing planned to wait until his eldest brother got married before considering himself, so he declined for the time being.

However, Master Lin didn't rule out the possibility of a marriage alliance.

Now the Lin family has produced another prodigy with a sword-wielding body...

Li Guanhai stroked his beard, his smile growing even deeper.

"This marriage needs to be carefully planned."

……

Chuyang City, City Lord's Mansion.

On the upper floor of the pavilion, Yan Shuming stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the direction of Shattered Star Lake.

With his mid-stage Golden Core realm, he could naturally see it clearly.

That was the extraordinary phenomenon of the sword body awakening, a magnificent scene of ten thousand swords paying homage.

The Lin family has produced another true prodigy.

"The Lin family is truly blessed."

He sighed softly, shook his head, and stopped thinking about it.

Footsteps sounded behind me.

Zhang Mo strode closer and bowed respectfully: "Master, the establishment of the Chuyang City Guard has been basically completed."

Yan Shuming did not turn around, but simply nodded slightly.

"However..." Zhang Mo paused, his tone tinged with difficulty.

"In terms of high-end combat capabilities, we are severely lacking. With our current strength, I'm afraid..."

Yan Shuming sighed.

He used Chen Dai to consolidate the power of various families in Chuyang City in order to prepare for the beast tide decades later.

Only when all the major families work together can they exert their greatest strength.

But who could have imagined that Chen Dai would be so useless, and be killed by Lin Che, a newly promoted Golden Core cultivator?

The current situation in Chuyang City is completely different from what he originally envisioned.

But the beast tide won't wait for anyone.

"Sigh." He sighed and finally turned around: "Let's go and discuss it with the Lin family. In the end, we can't get around them."

He looked at Zhang Mo, his tone becoming more serious:

"You are the commander of the Chuyang City garrison. Give the Lin family a position as their adjutant. This matter will be planned jointly by you and the Lin family."

Zhang Mo was slightly taken aback, then bowed and said, "Yes, disciple understands."

He turned and left the room.

Yan Shuming stood alone on the pavilion, his gaze fixed on the distant, undulating Fulong Mountain Range.

From deep within the mountains, the faint roars of beasts could be heard.

The voice was deep and distant, like some kind of ominous premonition.

The next beast tide is still decades away.

But for cultivators, decades are but a fleeting moment.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.
