Sword Rises in the Blue Lagoon, Why Are All the Sword Cultivation Families Older Than Old Six?

After half a year, Canglan Palace had basically taken control of Qingyun State, but the system's task completion prompt had not yet arrived. It remained at ninety-nine percent, just a little short of complete control.

Ye Xuan came to the outside world. The construction of Canglan Palace was also nearing completion. Most of the formation and rune masters who had been invited from afar had begun to leave. Looking around,

The mountain gate of Canglan Palace was over a thousand feet tall, made entirely of celadon stone, with countless mysterious runes carved on it, flowing with a faint cyan light under the sunlight. On either side of the mountain gate stood a hundred-foot-tall stone statue, one of a Azure Dragon and one of a White Tiger, lifelike, as if they would come to life at any moment.

Passing through the mountain gate was a winding upward celadon staircase. The staircase was a hundred feet wide, and each step was engraved with different sword techniques. If one had enough comprehension, one could comprehend a complete set of sword techniques just by walking up this staircase. At the end of the staircase was a vast sea of clouds. Above the sea of clouds, nine floating islands were arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper. On each island stood a majestic palace.

On the most central island, a jet-black sword pavilion pierced straight into the sky. The sword pavilion was nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine feet tall, divided into nine floors, each floor hanging with tens of thousands of long swords. These long swords were not dead objects, but like living beings, hovering and flying around the sword pavilion, emitting bursts of clear sword sounds. At the top of the sword pavilion, a brilliant sword light soared into the sky, dyeing the clouds within a radius of ten thousand miles gold.

Below the nine suspended islands was a vast plain. On the plain, spirit fields crisscrossed, planted with various rare spirit herbs. Streams of spiritual water meandered, the water clear and transparent, and spiritual fish jumped out of the water from time to time. Around the plain, seventy-two peaks surrounded it, and each peak had a separate courtyard built on it for disciples to cultivate and live in.

The entire sect's residence was shrouded in a huge formation. The formation was composed of ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine sword qi, each containing supreme sword intent. These sword qi intertwined in the air to form a net, protecting the entire sect airtight. If foreign enemies invaded, these sword qi would turn into a rain of swords, crushing the enemies into powder.

On the outermost periphery of the sect was a primeval forest stretching for thousands of miles. In the forest, ancient trees towered into the sky, and spirit beasts were everywhere. These spirit beasts were the mountain-protecting spirit beasts recently subdued by Canglan Palace, who were responsible for patrolling the sect's borders on weekdays. There were also countless restrictions and traps in the forest, so even if an early-stage Great Emperor realm cultivator broke in rashly, they would suffer a great loss.

Another half month passed, and the system voice in Ye Xuan's mind finally sounded, "Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the task of controlling Qingyun State, unlocking the fourth floor of the Chaos Dao Pagoda, and obtaining 100,000 points. The next stage of the task is opened, to become the overlord of the Eastern Region within a hundred years, reward Immortal Artifacts × 10, Extreme Dao Emperor Weapons × 100. During this period, obtaining the approval of the strongest force in a state will reward 100,000 points. Now there are still five hundred and ninety-nine states left." Ye Xuan was overjoyed when he heard the system prompt. He thought to himself, it's finally here.

With a thought, he came to the fourth floor of the Chaos Dao Pagoda. As soon as he entered, there were fifty-four sword cultivators in the same attire. When the fifty-four people saw Ye Xuan's figure, they immediately knelt on one knee and bowed their hands, "Greetings, Master."

Ye Xuan said, "From now on, just call me Patriarch," and then Ye Xuan looked at the Supreme Sword Body and said, "From now on, you will be 401, and the strength will be ranked from now on…" Then Ye Xuan told them about the rules of the Guardian Hall and the Ye family. After arranging for them to continue their cultivation, Ye Xuan opened the system and looked at the cultivation levels of these people. The lowest was the early stage of the Great Emperor, and the highest nine were the peak of the Heavenly Emperor, one of whom was the Supreme Sword Body. He had already reached the Sword Immortal realm of sword dao.

The Sword Immortal realm is the immortal among swords, a realm dreamed of by countless sword cultivators, representing the ultimate and transcendent existence of the sword dao. A Sword Immortal is not only the pinnacle of strength, but also a sublimation of the state of mind, symbolizing a realm of resonance with heaven and earth, transcending life and death.

The Sword Immortal's sword light is like a long rainbow piercing the sun, cutting through the sky. Wherever the sword light reaches, everything turns into nothingness. The sword light is not only a symbol of power, but also a manifestation of the Sword Immortal's will.

External manifestations of a Sword Immortal:

One sword breaks ten thousand laws: The Sword Immortal's sword dao has reached perfection. With one sword, all laws are broken. No matter what kind of supernatural powers or magic treasures, they are like thin paper in front of the Sword Immortal's sword light. Wherever the sword light reaches, everything turns into nothingness.

Heaven and earth as sword: The Sword Immortal's sword intent can be transformed into reality. Sword qi can condense into mountains, rivers, sun, moon, stars, and even all things in heaven and earth can be swords. With a single thought from the Sword Immortal, the power of heaven and earth is used by him.

Sword out, heaven and earth change: When the Sword Immortal's sword is drawn, the heaven and earth change color, and the wind and clouds surge. The Sword Immortal's sword light is like thunder, and the sword momentum is like mountains and seas. When the sword is drawn, the heaven and earth resonate, and all things submit.

The demeanor of a Sword Immortal:

Transcendent and detached: The Sword Immortal's demeanor is like an immortal and a god, and every move contains endless sword intent. The Sword Immortal's existence itself is a symbol of supreme sword dao.

Free and unrestrained: The Sword Immortal has transcended the shackles of the world and is free between heaven and earth. The Sword Immortal's figure is like an illusion, difficult to grasp, and the sword light reaches thousands of miles in an instant.

Ultimate of sword dao: The Sword Immortal's sword dao has reached its ultimate, the sword light is like the Milky Way in the nine heavens, and the sword momentum is like the top of the sky. The Sword Immortal's existence itself is a symbol of supreme sword dao.

The realm levels of Sword Immortals:

Initial entry into the Sword Immortal realm: Upon initial entry into the Sword Immortal realm, the sword cultivator can already merge with the sword and transform the sword intent, but the degree of resonance with heaven and earth is still shallow. Although the power of the sword light is strong, it has not yet completely transcended life and death.

Minor success Sword Immortal: A minor success Sword Immortal can use the surrounding environment, and with a single thought, heaven and earth become his sword, covering one side of space. Extremely domineering.

Great success Sword Immortal: A great success Sword Immortal can already resonate with heaven and earth, and the heaven and earth change color wherever the sword light reaches. The Sword Immortal's sword dao has reached its ultimate, the sword light is like thunder, and the sword momentum is like mountains and seas.

Peak Sword Immortal: A peak Sword Immortal has transcended the cycle of life and death, and everything turns into nothingness wherever the sword light reaches. The Sword Immortal's existence itself is a symbol of supreme sword dao.

The Sword Immortal symbolizes resonance with heaven and earth. The Sword Immortal's sword intent has surpassed the mortal world, and heaven and earth become his sword wherever the sword light reaches. The Sword Immortal's existence itself is a symbol of supreme sword dao. A Sword Immortal is not only the pinnacle of strength, but also a sublimation of the state of mind, representing an existence of resonance with heaven and earth, transcending life and death.

Ye Xuan looked down again. The eight people from 402 to 409 were at the peak of the Heavenly Emperor realm, and their sword dao realm was half-step Sword Immortal.

The half-step Sword Immortal is a crucial stage for sword cultivators to move towards the Sword Immortal realm, symbolizing that the sword cultivator has already touched the threshold of the Sword Immortal, but has not yet fully stepped into this supreme realm. It has some of the power of a Sword Immortal, but has not yet completely transcended the shackles of heaven and earth.

There were also eighteen at the peak of the Ancient Emperor realm, all with perfect sword domains, touching a trace of the Sword Immortal artistic conception. Twenty-seven were at the peak of the Great Emperor realm, with perfect sword domains.

To become a Sword Immortal, there are three steps to take. The first is to be able to see the threshold and touch a trace of it. The second is to comprehend part of the mysteries and become a half-step Sword Immortal. The third is to cross the threshold and become a Sword Immortal.

Ye Xuan and 301 are currently at the first step. Besides him, 301 and the eighteen Ancient Emperors on the fourth floor, a total of 20 people have touched the threshold, there are eight half-step Sword Immortals, and one true Sword Immortal. Ye Xuan thought that with the blessing of the Sword Inquiry Stele and the Enlightenment Pill, everyone would accelerate their improvement.
