Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

So that's how it is. To open the Nine Realms of Nothingness, one actually needs the power of the Great Evil King.

No wonder the Supreme One insisted on unsealing the Great Evil King; in order to achieve the Nine Void Boundless Realm, the power of the Great Evil King was indispensable.

Wuming understood everything, and his doubts disappeared.

"Then please open the Sword Realm, Master. It will enhance the power of the Fire Kirin Sword, and I am very much looking forward to it."

Duan Lang smiled broadly. The power of the Fire Kirin Sword was not as great as that of divine weapons such as the Peerless Sword, and it was now almost unable to keep up with the speed at which he was getting stronger.

The Sword Realm is the world of sword intent of all swordsmen in the world. The power within it is very strong. If his Fire Kirin Sword can draw power from the Sword Realm, it will surely be transformed and leap into an even stronger divine weapon.

This was a huge help to him.

Xu Qing nodded, then slowly extended his sword finger and slashed at the void. His powerful and invincible physical strength easily tore the void apart, while the divine power of his swordsmanship drew the Sword Realm closer.

The void expanded with Xu Qing's power, and behind the dark cracks lay a wondrous otherworld containing countless sword intents and sword thoughts.

"go!"

After Xu Qing finished speaking, he stepped into the Sword Realm.

Qin Shuang, Duan Lang, and Wuming followed closely behind, stepping into the void rift. They felt a dizzying sensation, as if time and space were being reversed.

The next moment, Qin Shuang, Duan Lang, and Wuming regained their vision and looked around.

sword!
Everywhere you look, there are swords!
The ground was formed from sword energy, and countless mountains stood all around.

Upon closer inspection, each mountain represents a sword technique. These mountains are known as Sword Mountains, formed from sword intent. The stronger the sword technique, the higher the mountain.

The countless sword mountains represent the countless sword techniques in the world.

However, there are not many towering peaks in the Sword Realm.

Those are the strongest sword techniques in the world!

Between the mountains flows the Sword River!

Above the Sword River, there are the experiences and insights of swordsmen who practiced, comprehended, and mastered the sword.

Deeper still, an incomparably malevolent sword intent emanated from a sword pool.

It gathers the most evil and darkest sword intent in the world, and is the source of the evil sword.

"This is the Sword Realm!"

Duan Lang exclaimed in amazement, "This is truly unbelievable! Everywhere you look, there are swords!"

Everything is formed from the sword's intent and spirit, which is beyond comprehension.

"It is said that this is a special place that only the world's strongest swordsmen can enter. I never expected it to be such a place."

The nameless swordsman was also captivated and amazed by the scenery of the sword world.

"Master, is this the spirit of the sword realm?!"

Qin Shuang was also surprised, but he was not a swordsman, so after a glance, his gaze fell on the figure that Xu Qing was holding.

There are still living beings in the Sword Realm!?

As Qin Shuang expressed her surprise, Duan Lang and Wuming also noticed the creature that Xu Qing had captured.

The figure was covered by sword energy, but it was still possible to make out that it was a man.

Among all these things, it was astonishing that Xu Qing would capture one living being.

"Will you confess yourself, or will I reveal your identity?" Xu Qing asked mockingly, holding the figure in his hand.

"Sigh, I never thought that after so many years, there would still be someone like you in this world. I am impressed."

The figure sighed, the sword energy dissipated, and finally the true figure emerged.

His face was weathered, and his brows held a fierce aura that had been accumulating for hundreds of years. He was tall and slender, with his hair and beard disheveled.

"My name is Jian Yue. Hundreds of years ago, after I fought to a draw with Jian Wu, the successor of the great swordsman of the Sword Sect, we exchanged martial arts and mastered the Sword Sect's ultimate technique, 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin'."

From this point on, I have no rivals in the way of the sword. I have successfully opened the sword realm and wish to glimpse the strongest way of the sword in the world.

Unfortunately, as time passed, the number of swordsmen in the world increased, and their sword intent and power grew stronger, making the barrier of the Sword Realm impenetrable. Thus, I was trapped within the Sword Realm, unable to escape.

Jian Yue explained his origins. His life was incredibly glorious, but he never expected that at the peak of his career, he would be trapped in the Sword Realm for hundreds of years.

Centuries have passed, and his body has long since decayed and died, but his sword spirit can survive in this sword realm.

For hundreds of years, he had longed to go out.

However, he was unable to open the Sword Realm. Now, the Sword Realm has finally been opened by Xu Qing, and Jian Yue originally wanted to take the opportunity to leave.

But Xu Qing grabbed him, leaving him with no way to escape. Having experienced Xu Qing's strength, Jian Yue stopped struggling.

Qin Shuang and Duan Lang were still surprised after hearing Jian Yue's story.

This person actually entered the Sword Realm from the outside, rather than being a being from within the Sword Realm.

However, this guy was unlucky; he finally managed to open the Sword Realm, but now he can't get out.

Having been trapped in this horrible place for hundreds of years, it's no wonder they've become this inhuman, ghostly state.

"This person fought to a draw with a senior from the Sword Sect. Has Senior Wuming ever heard of him?" Qin Shuang asked, looking at Wuming.

Wuming is a member of the Sword Sect, so he should know about this history.

But Wuming shook his head: "This matter was perhaps too secretive and was not passed down."

He had never heard of Jian Yue.

"Do you want to live or die?" Xu Qing asked.

"Of course I want to live!" Jian Yue answered without hesitation.

He had been trapped in this godforsaken place for so long, but his spirit never dissipated, all thanks to his unwavering will to survive.

Who would want to die!
"Very good, relax your mind and do not resist!"

Xu Qing nodded slightly. Although Jian Yue only has his primordial spirit left, he can be reborn as long as he leaves the Sword Realm and finds a suitable body.

This person is very strong. He created the divine-level swordsmanship technique "Yuan Tian Sword Art". This swordsmanship is also known as a swordsmanship that does not belong to the human world. It has reached the level of supernatural power.

A god-level swordsman is indeed a formidable fighting force.

Jian Yue relaxed his mind and allowed Xu Qing's divine will to enter.

A mark was planted in Jian Yue's mind, deep within his primordial spirit.

The mark now influences people's will very quickly. After absorbing the advantages of the Myriad Paths of the Universe in controlling people's minds, it is almost like the Buddhist path of salvation, able to turn enemies into one's own people at an extremely fast speed.

After completing all this, Xu Qing released Jian Yue.

The latter bowed respectfully to Xu Qing: "My lord!"

Jian Yue's eyes showed respect, without any discomfort.

In no time, he became Xu Qing's servant.

This is the domineering nature of this method of controlling people.

"You may go to the Sword Mountain and Sword River to comprehend the way of the sword and witness the myriad sword techniques in the world."

"Lang'er, give the Fire Kirin Sword to your master."

Duan Lang naturally presented his family heirloom sword with utmost respect.

After receiving the Fire Kirin Sword, Xu Qing led Jian Yue deeper into the Sword Realm, towards the Sword Pool.

Qin Shuang, Duan Lang, and Wuming all dispersed to observe and comprehend the myriad sword techniques and sword styles.

"My lord, this Sword Pool is the most evil place in the Sword Realm, containing the world's most powerful evil sword technique—the Twelve Swords of Profound Yin!"

Having been trapped in this sword realm for hundreds of years, Jian Yue naturally knew everything about it.

He naturally also wanted to master the divine sword technique in the Sword Pool.

However, the Twelve Swords of Profound Yin are different from other sword techniques; this is a sword technique that connects with the divine.

The Xuan Yin Sword Intent possesses its own consciousness, and those who do not recognize its authority cannot master the Twelve Swords of Xuan Yin.

Therefore, even though Jian Yue has been trapped here for so many years, he has not gained the recognition of the Twelve Swords of Xuan Yin.

"With your strength, my lord, you will surely be able to subdue the Twelve Swords of Xuan Yin. However, my lord needs to be careful of the monster in the Sword Pool!"

Jian Yue reminded him.

"You're talking about the Demon Lord, aren't you?" Xu Qing said calmly.

"Does the Lord know?" Jian Yue was taken aback, not expecting that Xu Qing would know about the situation so soon after entering the Sword Realm.

"The Demon Lord is the most evil and wicked creature in the Sword Pool. It is the aggregate and embodiment of the most evil and malevolent sword intent in the sword world, and the manifestation of the evil thoughts of all swordsmen in the world!"

Am I right?
