Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Soon, three days had passed, and the sword-worship ceremony for the peerless sword was ready.

Everyone arrived at the most important place in the Sword Worship Manor: the Sword Pool.

The Sword Pool is located deep within a ley line in the Sword Worship Manor; it is an enormous pool of swords that churns with flames and magma.

The temperature of the entire sword pool was extremely high, and the entire space was illuminated by the magma and flames in the pool, turning it into a terrifying crimson.

The air was filled with distorted ripples caused by the high temperature, and the overwhelming heat made people feel uncomfortable.

Everyone present was skilled in martial arts. Apart from Yu Chuchu, even those swordsmiths, whose martial arts skills were not high, had long since adapted to the heat.

You Ruo used her Heavenly Frost True Qi to cool down Yu Chu Chu. As the daughter of Xiong Ba, she was naturally able to obtain the Three Absolute Divine Skills.

Yu Chuchu glanced gratefully at You Ruo, who smiled sweetly.

Everyone's attention was quickly drawn to the forest of swords atop the churning lava of the sword pool.

Those were hundreds of identical, dark and dull "peerless sword" blanks, either stuck upside down in the lava or suspended by iron chains above the fire pool.

These swords have been constantly tempered by the fire of the Sword Pool.

"So many swords?! Which one is the best sword in the world?!"

The swords were so similar that the greedy man couldn't tell which one was the real, peerless sword.

Master Fang said, "At present, any of them could be an unparalleled sword; the key lies in the sword's essence!"

"Now, please, Master Eclipse Hall Master, Master Flying Cloud Hall Master, and Mr. Sword Greed, force out some of your own blood for a sword sacrifice to refine the sword essence!" Master Fang looked at the three of them.

Whether the Sword Essence can be successfully established depends on these three people.

"Alright! I'll go first!" Jian Tan couldn't wait any longer.

He slashed his palm with his sword, forcing out blood. A peculiar scene unfolded: an invisible force of attraction emanated from the sword pool, beginning to draw blood from the sword greedy man.

Jian Tan frowned; he'd absorbed a bit too much blood!

Soon, his face turned pale, but Jianchi seemed unsatisfied and continued to absorb Jiantan's blood.

"Damn it! Is this sword trying to drain me dry?!"

Jian Tan hurriedly used his true energy to seal the wound on his palm, and then quickly moved away from the sword pool.

If he were to be sucked into this sword pool any further, he would likely suffer a severe loss of vital energy!

He had already been injured by Bu Jingyun, and after three days of recuperation, he was still not fully recovered.

Now that the Sword Pool has drained so much of its blood, even the greedy Sword is bleeding.

"Hall Master Lang! Hall Master Yun!" Master Fang looked at Duan Lang and Bu Jingyun again.

The sword sacrifice is still missing two poisons; we cannot give up halfway.

"I want to see just how powerful this peerless sword really is!"

As soon as Duan Lang finished speaking, he stepped forward, and his palm automatically split open, gushing out scarlet blood that flowed into the sword pool.

He remained expressionless, not even flinching as large amounts of blood were drawn from him.

"You have quite the appetite!"

One-tenth of Duan Lang's blood was quickly absorbed by the sword pool. He immediately circulated his internal energy, and the wound on his palm healed rapidly.

At the same time, he took out several Blood Bodhi beads from his pocket and swallowed them. The energy of the Blood Bodhi beads quickly replenished Duan Lang's previous consumption.

"Blood Bodhi!" Jian Tan stared intently at the Blood Bodhi that Duan Lang had swallowed!

This is a treasure of the martial arts world, a sacred medicine that can enhance one's skills and heal injuries!

Sword Demon and Madam Ao were also astonished that the World Society actually possessed such a martial arts treasure!
Bu Jingyun stared intently at the sword pool as he approached.

He suddenly slashed open the Qilin Arm, and the blood containing the power of the Qilin gushed out, instantly amplifying the fluctuations in the sword pool.

"With the three poisons gathered, the blood is used to refine the sword essence!"

Master Fang shouted, and the surrounding swordsmiths sprang into action, drawing upon the power of the earth's fire.

In an instant, the temperature of the sword pool rose rapidly, and an extremely powerful, fierce, and violent wave condensed and took shape.

Bu Jingyun stopped the bleeding from his wound, took the Blood Bodhi that Duan Lang threw to him, swallowed it in one gulp, and then began to heal his wounds and recover his energy.

This scene made Jian Tan's mouth water. So many Blood Bodhi seeds, and these two juniors just casually consumed them. If only he could take one too!
Unfortunately, Jian Tan was not a member of the World Alliance.

Even members of the World Society, without sufficient status, could not obtain such a sacred medicine as the Blood Bodhi.

No matter how much he envied it, he could only watch helplessly.

"The sword essence is complete!" Master Fang laughed, the final step had finally been achieved.

Once the sword essence is complete, the peerless sword will be successfully forged!

"Success?"

Master Fang's words once again drew everyone's attention to the sword pool, but among the hundreds of identical "peerless swords," no one could tell them apart.

"Which one is the best sword in the world?!" You Ruo asked with a curious expression.

Master Fang shook his head: "I don't know either. Once the sword essence is formed, the sword that possesses the sword essence will be an unparalleled sword."

But divine weapons possess a spirit; only those they have chosen can recognize which one is the truly peerless sword!

Upon hearing Master Fang's words, everyone's eyes quickly swept over the swords in the sword pool.

Xu Qing was the same; it was difficult to tell which sword was the truly peerless one with the naked eye.

If one uses sword intent to activate it, perhaps one can unleash that sword essence.

Of course, he can also use his spiritual power to investigate.

Now that his soul has condensed into a martial arts primordial spirit, his divine sense is so strong that finding the sword essence is not difficult.

But Xu Qing did not do that; the destined owner of the peerless sword was Bu Jingyun.

Since it belonged to his disciple, he, as the master, naturally wouldn't try to take it.

Besides, he didn't even consider the peerless sword to be good.

"You are all welcome to try. Whether you can gain Jian Yuan's approval depends entirely on your own fate!"

Master Fang made way for me.

"I'll do it!" Aotian stepped forward eagerly.

As the young master of Baijian Manor, he had long regarded this sword as his own.

Now that the peerless sword has been forged, we must obtain it!

Ao Tian moved swiftly, circulating his cultivation technique before the sword pool. His surging power gathered at his fingertips, transforming into a powerful sword aura that surged into the sword pool.

This was none other than the Sword Demon's signature move—the Severing Meridian Sword Qi!
This is an extremely powerful sword qi martial art, and many sword masters have been defeated by it.

Xu Qing looked at this martial art with great interest: the Severing Meridian Sword Qi, which mainly uses the sword finger technique.

It can discard its weapons and transform itself into a sword, capable of injuring enemies from a distance and unleashing extremely sharp and powerful invisible sword energy.

This reminded Xu Qing of another martial art—the Six Meridians Divine Sword.

Similarly, the Six Meridian Divine Sword, which uses invisible sword energy to injure enemies, was hailed as the strongest sword technique in the world during the Northern Song Dynasty in the world of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.

Nowadays, in the world of Fengyun, such swordsmanship can only be considered as a swordsmanship with some merit.

It cannot be called a peerless sword technique.

However, the Sword Demon's Severing Meridian Sword Qi is clearly a stronger martial art than the Six Meridian Divine Sword.

However, his strength was limited, and he still couldn't catch Xu Qing's eye.

Meanwhile, Ao Tian, ​​unleashing his full power of the Severing Meridian Sword Qi, charged into the Sword Pool with a frenzied surge of sword energy.

However, the sword pool remained completely still.

"Impossible! I really can't attract the attention of the peerless swordsman?!"

Ao Tian was greatly discouraged. Despite using his full strength in swordsmanship, he couldn't even create any fluctuations in the sword's edge.

This made him lose face.

Similarly, the Sword Demon's face darkened, and he didn't even acknowledge the peerless sword technique, the Severing Pulse Sword Qi, which he was famous for.

Isn't this a slap in the face to Sword Demon?
