His mind was completely absorbed, eagerly absorbing and verifying the profound mysteries contained within these ancient sword marks. Many of the confusions he had encountered in his previous cultivation suddenly became clear. "The Rising Sun" was no longer merely the grandeur of new life, but also contained the subtleties of building momentum and holding back power; the ever-changing "Myriad Flowing Clouds" concealed the trajectory of the laws of heaven and earth; and the dark red sword marks revealed to him that after the "Setting Sun," there was not a complete end, but rather the possibility of "Nirvana" and rebirth!
His Sunset Sword Intent is growing, perfecting, and sublimating at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Time flew by as people pondered the truth. Within the basin, some succeeded in comprehending the truth, unleashing powerful sword intent from their bodies, while others failed, were severely injured, and left the scene in despair.

After an unknown amount of time, Fu Shaoping's aura suddenly changed. Azure, gold, and red light alternated and flowed, while the images of dawn, flowing clouds, and setting sun subtly appeared behind him, ultimately merging and merging into a complete "Sunset Glow" sky! His inner energy surged and roared, and the previously loosened bottleneck was suddenly broken through!
Eighth level of Qi training!

It's a matter of course!

Moreover, it wasn't just a simple improvement in cultivation level; his true energy became more refined and condensed, carrying the unique majestic, ever-changing, and desolate aura of the Sunset Sword Intent, far surpassing the quality of others of the same level. His divine sense also grew stronger under the baptism of the sword intent.

He opened his eyes, and within them seemed to flow the glow of sunset clouds, eventually settling into a serene, blood-red afterglow. His entire demeanor became more reserved, yet also more unfathomable.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Fu, on your breakthrough in cultivation!" The Qingxuan Sect disciples beside him, sensing the changes in him, offered their congratulations, their eyes filled with envy and admiration. Elder Li also nodded slightly, revealing a satisfied expression.

Fu Shaoping stood up and nodded to his fellow disciples and Elder Li. He could feel that he had mastered the Three Styles of Sunset Glow, and had even touched the threshold of completely integrating the three styles to create his own unique "Sunset Glow Sword Domain"!

Just then, the Myriad Swords Monument suddenly trembled violently! A thick beam of light shot out from the top of the monument, soaring straight into the sky and illuminating the dim yellow sky! Within the beam of light, the outline of an even more ancient and illusory palace faintly appeared!

"The core inheritance! The most core inheritance of the secret realm has appeared!" someone shouted excitedly.

All the cultivators who were still comprehending or had already completed their comprehension instantly became excited, their eyes burning as they gazed at the palace phantom within the pillar of light.

Ling Juexiao stood up, his sword intent becoming even more refined, clearly having gained a great deal. He looked at the pillar of light, his fighting spirit blazing.

The Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang, the barbarians of Northern Region, and others also rose up, and various colored lights began to converge towards the pillar of light.

"Let's go!" Elder Li made a decisive decision, leading the Qingxuan Sect members to transform into streaks of light and fly away.

Fu Shaoping took a deep breath, suppressing the surging energy from his breakthrough, and fixed his gaze firmly on the source of the pillar of light. He could feel that the core inheritance site held a fatal attraction for him, as if it were his final destination on this journey.

With a swift movement, he unleashed the Golden Rainbow Escape Technique to its fullest extent, following closely behind the others as he charged towards the final core of the secret realm! His sword, having undergone the baptism of the Stele Forest, had been reborn and was eager to shine its own radiance on a wider stage!
The Myriad Swords Monument stirred, its core inheritance manifesting in the world. All cultivators with remaining strength flocked to the source of the towering pillar of light like a swarm of locusts crossing a river. Fu Shaoping transformed into a golden rainbow, closely following the Qingxuan Sect members, his heart clear, filled only with soaring sword intent.

The beam of light seemed close, but in reality, it was an incredibly long journey. It took the group about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to fly through several distorted spatial barriers and remnants of ancient killing formations before they finally reached the beam's landing point.

It was a vast white jade plaza. At the end of the plaza, instead of the imposing palace one might expect, stood a small, three-story pavilion entirely constructed of some kind of warm, white jade. Above the pavilion's plaque were three large characters written in ancient seal script—Hidden Sword Pavilion!

The characters and strokes were all like those carved from a sword's edge, exuding a supreme aura that was both simple and profound, yet surpassed all the sword intent on the Ten Thousand Swords Stele. The towering pillar of light emanated from the top of this Hidden Sword Pavilion.

At this moment, twenty or thirty people had gathered on the white jade plaza, all of them top geniuses or powerful rogue cultivators from various factions. Among them were Ling Juexiao of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Holy Maiden of the Southern Frontier, the giant of the Northern Barbarian Tribe, the ascetic monk of the Western Desert, and several other cultivators whose auras were concealed and who kept a low profile. Elder Li of the Azure Profound Sect, leading Fu Shaoping and others, landed, immediately becoming another force to be reckoned with.

All eyes were fixed on the tightly closed gate of the Hidden Sword Pavilion. The gate was neither wood nor stone, but resembled both jade and gold, with a chaotic light flowing across it, blocking all divine sense from probing.

"The Hidden Sword Pavilion... could it be that it holds the legacy of an ancient sword immortal?" someone whispered, their voice trembling with excitement.

"The gate is tightly shut, how can we get in?" The giant of the northern barbarian tribe was the most impatient. He strode forward, gathered his strength, and punched the gate!
"Boom!"

With a muffled thud, the barbarian giant groaned and was forced to stagger backward by the recoil, bloodstains appearing on his fists. The gate, however, remained unmoved, its radiance undiminished.

Everyone was awestruck. This barbarian giant's physical strength was comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, yet they couldn't budge him in the slightest!

Ling Juexiao snorted coldly, his fingers forming a sword-like shape, and a condensed Heaven-Splitting Sword Qi slammed fiercely into the door.

"Zheng!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out, the sword energy shattered, but the gate remained unscathed.

The holy maiden of the southern border attempted to corrupt the spirits with poison, while the ascetic monk of the western desert tried to convert them by chanting Buddhist mantras, but both efforts failed.

Elder Li frowned slightly, stepped forward, and a Qingxuan Sect main peak token flew out from his sleeve, shooting out a beam of green light that hit the door. The chaotic light rippled slightly, but there was still no sign of it opening.

"It seems that this cannot be overcome by force; we must find a way," Elder Li said in a deep voice.

Upon arriving at the plaza, Fu Shaoping felt the core disciple token at his waist burning hot, as if it were about to melt, and his newly acquired "Flowing Fire" ancient sword was also trembling slightly. More importantly, the Sunset Sword Intent within him became unusually active and... intimately connected after sensing the aura of the Hidden Sword Pavilion.
Sensing something, he stepped out from the crowd and, amidst their puzzled gazes, slowly walked towards the gate of the Hidden Sword Pavilion.

"Junior Brother Fu?" a Qingxuan Sect disciple exclaimed in a low voice.

Ling Juexiao and the others also cast scrutinizing glances their way.

Fu Shaoping ignored him. He stopped about ten feet in front of the door, closed his eyes, and stopped suppressing his sword intent. In an instant, the vibrancy of the morning glow, the changing clouds, and the desolation of the setting sun perfectly blended together, transforming into a complete sunset sword intent that enveloped him as if it were a tangible thing, complementing the aura of the Hidden Sword Pavilion.

At the same time, the core disciple's token at his waist floated up on its own, emitting a warm blue light that subtly resonated with the sword intent of the three characters "Hidden Sword Pavilion" on the pavilion's plaque. The ancient sword "Flowing Fire" in his hand also emitted a clear and melodious sword cry, its crimson sword light flowing.

Just as his sword intent reached its peak, achieving a harmonious resonance with the aura of the Hidden Sword Pavilion—

"Buzz!"

The chaotic light on the gate of the Hidden Sword Pavilion rippled out like water, slowly parting to both sides to reveal the deep passage behind it!

opened!
The entire room fell silent, everyone's eyes filled with shock, disbelief, and deep envy!
It was him! A disciple of the Qingxuan Sect at the eighth level of Qi Refining, who opened the gate to this core inheritance site with his own sword intent!
Ling Juexiao's eyes flashed with an unprecedented light as he stared intently at the perfect Sunset Sword Intent surrounding Fu Shaoping, as if trying to see through it.

"Go!" Elder Li reacted the fastest, shouting in a low voice. The Qingxuan Sect members immediately followed Fu Shaoping, rushing towards the open gate. People from other forces also reacted instantly, transforming into streaks of light and rushing in!

"Stop them!" A disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect tried to block the Azure Profound Sect, but Ling Juexiao waved his hand, his gaze still fixed on Fu Shaoping. "Let him in! The inheritance inside depends on each person's ability!" He transformed into a sword light, arriving first despite being behind, and entered the Hidden Sword Pavilion almost at the same time as Fu Shaoping.

Immediately afterwards, the Holy Maiden of the Southern Frontier, the Barbarian of the Northern Region, the Ascetic Monk of the Western Desert, and several other top cultivators also flocked in.

Just as the last person entered, the chaotic light above the gate closed up again, blocking all the cultivators who followed.

Inside the door, instead of the rows of bookshelves one might expect, there was a vast starry sky!

The group felt as if they were in the void of space, surrounded by dazzling stars, with an invisible path beneath their feet. And deep within the starry sky, three of the most dazzling lights floated!

A warm golden hue, like the rising sun, brimming with vitality.

A cloud of ethereal color, like a churning sea of ​​clouds, ever-changing and unpredictable.

A dark red mass, like the blood-red sun setting in the west, signifying the end of the cycle of reincarnation.

The three clusters of light each exuded a sword aura that shared the same origin as Fu Shaoping's Three Styles of Sunset, yet was more ancient, more fundamental, and more complete!

"It's a inherited sword seed!" Elder Li, with his vast knowledge, exclaimed in surprise. "Moreover, it's a supreme sword seed that contains the complete essence of swordsmanship!"

Everyone's breathing quickened! To obtain even one of them would be equivalent to receiving the complete inheritance of some ancient supreme sword technique, with limitless potential!
Almost at the same time, everyone moved, each using their own methods to rush towards the sword type they felt the strongest or thought was most suitable!
Without hesitation, Ling Juexiao charged toward the dark red, desolate sword seed. His Heaven-Splitting Sword Intent pursued the ultimate attack and destruction, and was most similar to the aura of this sword seed.

The Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang lunged at the ethereal sword seed, attempting to control its transformations with her Gu magic.

The northern barbarian roared and charged toward the Warm Gold Sword Seed, intending to melt its life force with his blood and qi.

The ascetic monk from the Western Desert chanted Buddhist mantras, his body radiating golden light, attempting to convert three sword seeds simultaneously!
The scene instantly descended into chaos! A fierce battle erupted as everyone vied for control of the sword seed! Sword energy, Gu shadows, blood energy, and Buddhist light clashed violently in this starry sky!
Fu Shaoping's goal was crystal clear from beginning to end. Those three sword seeds seemed to be the final piece of the puzzle that was missing from his Sunset Sword Intent! Especially when he approached, the sword intent within his body resonated strongly with the three sword seeds, as if a prodigal son were returning home!
Instead of vying for a single sword type, he walked step by step towards the center of the three sword types. This move seemed particularly abrupt in the chaotic battle.

"Arrogant! You actually want to collect three sword seeds at the same time?" someone sneered, and a sinister sword light silently pierced towards Fu Shaoping's back.

As if he had eyes in the back of his head, Fu Shaoping swung the Flowing Fire Sword in a backhand motion, and the crimson sword light surged like magma. It was the "Flowing Fire" sword intent that he had just begun to comprehend! With a hiss, the attacking sword light and its master were burned to ashes!
Without even glancing back, he continued forward. His entire body erupted with the full force of the Sunset Sword Intent, and the three phenomena of dawn, flowing clouds, and setting sun completely merged behind him, transforming into a real and tangible "Sunset Sword Domain"! Within this domain, life and death alternated, change and eternity coexisted!

Under the complete sword domain, the three sword seeds that were originally restless and resistant to others trembled in unison and emitted a joyful buzzing sound!
The warm golden sword seed transformed into a stream of light and entered the "morning glow" section of his sword domain.

The Misty Sword Technique incorporates the "Flowing Clouds" element.

The dark red sword seed is then incorporated into the "Setting Sun" section.

The three sword seeds, like rivers flowing into the sea, merged into Fu Shaoping's Sunset Sword Domain without any hindrance!

"No!!!" Ling Juexiao's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He had exerted all his strength, but could only watch helplessly as the dark red sword seed fell into Fu Shaoping's arms. The Holy Maiden of the Southern Frontier, the barbarian from the Northern Region, and the others were all filled with disbelief and boundless rage!

The opportunity they fought so hard for was so easily and completely taken away by this person!

"Kill him! Reclaim the sword seed!" Someone shouted, and almost simultaneously, everyone else, including Ling Juexiao, launched an attack on Fu Shaoping! All sorts of killing moves converged into a destructive torrent, determined to blast this lone champion into dust!

Faced with this siege that would make even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator pale, Fu Shaoping slowly raised his head, his eyes devoid of sorrow or joy. He felt the surging, roaring sword essence within his body undergoing a qualitative change, as well as the three sword seed origins within his sword domain that had completely merged and filled the last gap.

He slowly raised the Fiery Sword in his hand.

On the sword's blade, the warm gold of the morning glow, the ethereal light of the flowing clouds, and the dark red of the setting sun swirled and merged, ultimately transforming into a supreme sword intent that seemed to be able to stabilize the earth, fire, water, and wind, as if it were the very beginning of chaos.

He didn't use any special moves; he simply slashed forward.

"The rosy dawn... dispels all."

A chaotic sword light silently streaked across the starry sky.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no dazzling brilliance.

All incoming attacks, whether sharp sword energy, bizarre Gu techniques, abundant blood energy, or solemn Buddhist light, vanished like ice and snow the moment they touched this chaotic sword light, silently disintegrating and returning to nothingness.

Ling Juexiao's Heaven-Splitting Sword Qi shattered inch by inch. He groaned and flew backward, his eyes filled with shock and bewilderment.

The colorful miasma surrounding the Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang dissipated, and her face turned deathly pale.

The northern barbarian's blood surged, and he retreated repeatedly.

The golden protective shield of the Western Desert ascetic monk shattered like paper, and a trace of golden blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

With a single sword strike, all heroes bowed their heads!

The entire starry sky fell silent. Everyone stared as if at a monster at the young man in blue robes standing in the center of the arena, sword in hand. (End of Chapter)
