I am the snake demon!

Chapter 102 The Immortal-Slaying Sword Seal, Ten Thousand Swords Submit

Once you reach the foot of the mountain, it's no longer appropriate to take a horse-drawn carriage; you'll have to hike up.

However, Bai Xuan and his group were not pampered, so it did not cause any problems.

As Bai Xuan ascended the mountain, sensing the sharp sword energy within, a slight smile played on his lips as he found it particularly intriguing.

After walking for a short while, the group arrived at the gate of Hidden Sword Manor.

At the mountain gate, there were four disciples guarding the mountain. When they saw the manor lord personally leading people back, they hurriedly came to greet him.

Qiu Linyuan nodded slightly, while Bai Xuan looked up with great interest at the three-foot-long sword mark left on the mountain gate, where a terrifying sword aura, surpassing all the sword intent Bai Xuan had ever sensed, gathered.

Utter darkness.

It seems capable of devouring everything.

Noticing Bai Xuan's gaze, Qiu Linyuan's expression darkened. Although he had expected it, seeing Bai Xuan like this still made him sigh inwardly.

Thirty years ago, Cangjian Manor stood proudly above the world.

Not only is his sword-making skill the best in the world, but his sword-wielding skill is also the best in the world.

The former master of the manor used the eight flying swords passed down from the Hidden Sword Manor as the foundation, and combined them with formations to create the Qiankun Sword Formation. With the eight swords flying together, he was unparalleled in the world and ranked second on the martial arts list, alongside Lu Zhanqiu, the Heavenly Blade.

Even the former sect leader of the Taibai Sword Sect, who was known for his unparalleled swordsmanship, was inferior to him.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the former master of Cangjian Manor will carry on its legacy and make it the number one sword sect in the world.

Unfortunately, no if.

Thirty years ago was also the time when the Northern Wilderness Sword Demon rose to fame.

One man, one sword, challenges the great masters of the martial arts world.

As the number one swordsman in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the old master of Hidden Sword Manor naturally took the lead.

As a result, the old master of Cangjian Manor lost an arm, and an indelible sword mark was left on the gate of Cangjian Manor.

From that point on, the old master's Daoist heart was shattered, and he could not make any progress in his life.

Everyone who comes to Hidden Sword Manor will see this sword aura.

Bai Xuan's reaction was not unexpected.

This is probably the reaction of almost everyone who comes here for the first time.

Even so, this is still a disgrace to Hidden Sword Manor.

What's even more humiliating is that they can't erase this sword energy.

The Taibai Sword Sect was defeated, but later a White Emperor emerged.

Although he did not surpass the Sword Demon in swordsmanship, he ultimately defeated the Sword Demon by half a move in martial arts.

In the martial world, whether you use a sword or not, as long as you can win, that's all that matters.

Even defeating an opponent with a sword by bare hands is considered a sign of great skill, hence most people, except for a very few swordsmen, have high praise for the Taibai Sword Sect.

Even though the White Emperor is no longer a member of the Taibai Sword Sect.

Although Qiu Linyuan is ranked among the top four on the martial arts list, he probably has no hope of defeating the Sword Demon in this lifetime.

He feared he would never be able to defeat even the Taibai Sword Immortal, who was nearly twenty years younger than him, and the gap between the Taibai Sword Immortal and the Sword Demon was no smaller than the gap between him and the Taibai Sword Immortal.

However, these things are difficult to say aloud, and those who see them will only hear them in vain, and they cannot retaliate, hence the awkwardness.

Bai Xuan glanced at the sword energy at the mountain gate, then looked away and continued forward.

The sword intent is good, very pure, and suitable for the array seals of the Immortal-Slaying Sword.

However, that's all there is to it; he's slightly better than Lu Zhanqiu, but only slightly better.

He could dispel the sword intent with a single breath.

I wonder what level he's at now, thirty years later, and whether he can withstand a slap from me.

Seeing this, Qiu Linyuan breathed a sigh of relief and continued forward.

Before long, the group entered Hidden Sword Manor.

Qiu Linyuan led the way, bringing Bai Xuan to the Sword Pavilion of Hidden Sword Manor.

"The Hidden Sword Manor has housed all its swords for many years. Your Highness is welcome to choose freely. If they are not suitable, you can go to the Sword Pool to see the newly forged swords. If they are still not suitable, the Hidden Sword Manor can reforge them for Your Highness. However, forging a famous sword takes a lot of time and effort, ranging from several months to several years," Qiu Linyuan said.

"Thank you for your trouble, Master Qiu." Bai Xuan nodded slightly, and the sword servant of the Hidden Sword Manor opened the gate on his own. Instantly, an extremely dense sword aura roared out.

As everyone looked in that direction, they saw numerous swords arranged in an orderly fashion in the pavilion, neatly placed on both sides like memorial tablets.

Or rather, these swords themselves are the memorial tablets of swordsmen.

The swordsmen who can enter Cangjian Manor must be legendary swords, each one having created a legend in the hands of its master.

Now, as time has passed, few people know their legends in the martial arts world anymore; all that remains of them is their swords.

Bai Xuan's gaze swept over the swords in the pavilion, sensing them with his divine sense and judging their quality.

"There are 108 famous swords in the Sword Pavilion, which gather the most mysterious swords in the world. They are divided into two types. One type is the swords of the Jianghu, which mostly accompany Jianghu swordsmen as they roam the Jianghu and become famous throughout the world. For example, this sword is called Flying Snow. Fifty years ago, the sword immortal Gao Jianhan wielded this sword and it could make snow fall in June. He once assassinated the king of Northern Yan in public. Although he died in the end, he severely injured the king of Northern Yan, causing damage to his heart meridian. He died three years later. It is also known as the Dragon-Slaying Sword."

Qiu Linyuan entered the pavilion and introduced the famous swords to Bai Xuan. With a slight movement of his hand, a sword three feet and three inches long, as white as snow, flew out, its sword light sharp and extremely beautiful.

"It is beautiful, but the sword master is dead and the sword heart is old. I'm afraid he will leave the Sword Pavilion soon," Bai Xuan said.

A famous sword is a match for a hero.

A famous sword is only a famous sword in the hands of a hero.

Without the spirit of a hero, the heart of a famous sword will decay.

Therefore, the Sword Pavilion only has 108 swords, because when the time comes, the famous swords will be taken out by martial arts disciples for training.

This is also one of the reasons why Cangjian Manor regularly holds sword appreciation events.

It takes generations of swordsmen to breathe new life into the sword.

But he wasn't interested.

If he were to need to nurture the swords again, he would rather wait a year or two, have Qiu Linyuan forge four brand-new swords for him, and then nurture them himself.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Linyuan remained expressionless and continued, "The second is the array between the arrays, which are the natal magic weapons of array masters throughout the ages. They incorporate many array seals and can be considered magic treasures. Compared to the first type of famous sword, it has less spirituality, but its power is no less than that of the first type. However, it will take a longer time to turn it into one's own array weapon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Linyuan moved his hand slightly, and the Flying Snow Sword returned to its original position. Then, a large flying sword flew out. Unlike the beautiful Flying Snow Sword, this sword was also three feet long, but it was covered with runes. As the flying sword flew out, a gentle breeze swirled around it.

As Qiu Linyuan unleashed his sword energy, the sword's edge roared like a dragon's cry, and the azure light transformed into a hundred-foot-long bolt of lightning, heading straight for the door. Wherever it passed, the clouds and mist were torn apart.

"No wonder the art of weapon forging has been phased out; this world truly values ​​formations above all else," Bai Xuan sighed.

"Does Your Highness wish to make a choice?" Qiu Linyuan asked.

A letter arrived from the Prince's Palace, instructing Bai Xuan to choose four swords to travel with.

They were all swordsmen from the martial world, and then they formed a sword formation.

Just like the Eight Swords of Qiankun from Hidden Sword Manor.

But Qiu Linyuan secretly wanted Bai Xuan to choose a sword and leave.

If you choose the array sword, then there's only one.

Moreover, the array sword is easy to use.

Setting up an array with swords from the martial world is no easy task.

If he fails to learn it, Bai Xuan will most likely seek out a teacher, and in the Northern Territory and even the entire world, the sword formation of Hidden Sword Manor is revered.

So it's very likely that he'll be the one to teach Bai Xuan.

But sword formations rely almost entirely on talent.

If you can't teach it, you can't teach it.

But what if he can't be taught and Bai Xuan gets angry and takes it out on him?

"One isn't enough. It's too time-consuming to look at them one by one. Let's bring them all."

Bai Xuan shook his head again, his powerful spiritual energy spreading out, and the four peerless sword seals of annihilation and entrapment condensed together, the array seals humming, and the pure sword energy hissing.

Inside the Sword Pavilion, the 108 flying swords that had been lifeless suddenly rose into the air uncontrollably, buzzing and surging with terrifying sword energy, forming a terrifying sword energy curtain. However, they all bowed slightly towards Bai Xuan, indicating their submission.

Everyone present was horrified upon seeing this.

"A myriad swords returning to their origin, a born sword immortal?"

Qiu Yimeng, Bai Xuan's nominal master, was shocked to see this scene. She had really struck gold!

With that kind of talent, even if he weren't a prince, Qiu Yimeng would have to beg to be taken on as her disciple.

"Ten thousand swords submit?"

Qiu Linyuan was even more shocked, his face filled with disbelief.

This scene has never been seen since the founding of Hidden Sword Manor.

Is this prince's talent in swordsmanship really that strong?

As Qiu Linyuan was still in shock, a sword cry, like the roar of a dragon, suddenly rang out, extremely loud and resounding throughout the manor.

Immediately following, a terrifying surge of sword energy erupted, and the floor of the Sword Pavilion suddenly shattered, revealing a crimson sword that flew straight out from the ground, its golden-red sword energy staining the sky like the sunset.

"The 109th sword?"

Xuejiao was full of surprise; it was the first time she had ever heard that the Sword Pavilion had a hundred and ninth sword.

"Red Dome!"

Qiu Linyuan was shocked when he saw the sword, and even felt a little scared.

Crimson Sky is the ancestral sword of Hidden Sword Manor, containing the supreme swordsmanship that Hidden Sword Manor never reveals to outsiders.

However, since the ancestor died, hundreds of years have passed and no one has inherited the mantle.

Even the old manor lord was no exception.

That's why the Eight Swords of Heaven and Earth were created as a replacement.

To be honest, Qiu Linyuan had almost forgotten about this sword.

Unexpectedly, Bai Xuan woke me up.

Thinking of this, Qiu Linyuan looked at Bai Xuan with horror.

Is Your Highness planning to take away Crimson Sky?

Although no one from Hidden Sword Manor has yet gained Chi Qiong's approval, their ancestor's possessions are still priceless, so it's always better to keep them at home.

If you can't figure it out yourself, you have your son; if your son can't, you have your grandson; and so on, generation after generation, until one of them eventually comes to understand.
