I just want to kill you all, or be killed by you all.

The beautiful women who used to surround Li Yang have disappeared.

Their purpose in appearing was to provoke Ning Qingfeng, who was hiding in the shadows, to reveal herself.

Stepping onto the teleportation array, Li Yang bid farewell to the members of the Xuan Tian Sword Sect.

This journey to Xuanyuan, I don't know when I will be able to return.

His leap was too large; it was an outcome that no one had anticipated.

……

Qianzhou.

Today is sunny and warm, and it seems a bit hotter than Kunzhou.

Or perhaps it's because more than two years have passed in the Ancient Immortal Realm, and the seasons have changed.

Qianzhou is recognized as the strongest province in the Nine Provinces.

Not only does it have a leading lineage of swordsmanship like the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, but it also has the Great Sun Haotian Holy Land, which has produced several leaders of the Dao Alliance.

The demonic path also flourishes, while the supreme Buddhist path saves all sentient beings.

Therefore, Mu Zangfeng, who was killed by Li Yang, was able to rank first on the Golden Elixir Ranking in Qianzhou, which is of extremely high quality.

The Xuanyuan Sword Sect is located in the Taixi Mountains, the highest mountain range in Qianzhou.

Even the lowest mountain peaks rise above the clouds, making one feel as if they are in the heavens.

Furthermore, numerous towering mountains temper the sword intent, resembling countless immortal swords standing tall in the sky.

The Grand Elder of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect used his great supernatural power to forcibly press the Luxu Realm into the vicinity of the Taixi Mountains, thus establishing it as a separate domain.

"Next, you'll need to apply to join the Dao Alliance. They'll tell you what to do." The old man handed his token to Emperor Tianyuan. "Having this will save you a lot of trouble."

While the Grand Elder was giving instructions, Li Yang bid farewell to Tu Jiuzhou.

"I don't regret not cultivating the sword; the saber is my path." Tu Jiuzhou gazed at the distant mountain range, his boundless sword intent soaring into the sky. "I will embark on this path alone, and I hope you can take care of my homeland."

Li Yang nodded:

"This Heavenly Emperor is benevolent and decisive. I believe that in time, a celestial dynasty will emerge here."

Tu Jiuzhou's eyes were incredibly bright.

He exuded the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul stage.

"That's why I need to venture out on my own, to become a true deterrent to the Tianyuan Dynasty, and to provide them with a safe haven."

It's hard to imagine.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator and a Nascent Soul cultivator chatted amiably, treating each other as close friends, making cultivation level and age insignificant.

Li Yang watched Tu Jiuzhou leave. It might be a long time before he could leave the Luxu Realm, but he would eventually leave, become a true member of Jiuzhou, and grow into a pillar of the Tianyuan Dynasty.

But that's his legendary story.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Great Perfection stage, Li Yang has his own path to follow.

Only by truly stepping into the Xuanyuan Sword Sect can one experience its boundless sword intent, encompassing all things.

Even if you look up at the sky now, you can see the phantom of a great figure performing swordsmanship. Even in seclusion, there is an extremely high level of swordsmanship.

Only now could he understand.

Why does the Bureau of Extermination exist, and why is even the General of the Ninth Province a target for persecution?

It's not that the system is too weak, but that the level of this world is too high.

The Void Realm is vast, covering an area equal to countless blue stars.

Even something as vast as the Luxu Realm is but a fallen leaf under a large tree in the Taixi Mountains.

A single blade of grass can cleave stars; it sounds incredibly grand.

However, within the Void Realm, Li Yang at his peak was confident that he could destroy an entire realm with a single hair.

"For the sect, the physique you acquired is crucial, but not that important. We are a sword cultivation lineage, and we value your swordsmanship achievements more; that is the core we value." The Grand Elder took Li Yang alone to complete the entry procedures for the Xuanyuan Sword Sect.

However, these are not just superficial gestures; the core key is the Soul Lamp.

"You cultivate in the Xuantian Sword Sect, which is a different sect, but I imagine you don't feel any sense of belonging here."

Take your time to cultivate yourself, and treat this place as your home.

No matter how much trouble you cause, as long as you are in the right, the sect will stand with you even if it means sacrificing its last sword and its last sword pellet.

The elder's tone was indifferent, as if he didn't care whether Li Yang believed him or not.

However, Li Yang had already glimpsed the situation after killing several prodigies in the Xuantian Sword Sect's life-or-death arena following the Yongning County incident, which led to those old monsters coming to cause trouble.

The Xuan Tian Ancestor and other elders, including his own master, all seemed to have studied at the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect, or rather, they came from the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect.

Therefore, they firmly defend themselves when faced with threats.

Upon arriving at the Soul Hall of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, one finds that the number of soul lamps here is greater than expected.

Stepping inside, one finds the laws of heaven and earth, a vast and empty world within.

The soul lamps are colorful, representing the multitude of individual physical constitutions and the paths one cultivates.

The further inside you look, the brighter the soul lamps become, like stars in the night sky, their light shining on the other soul lamps.

"Since the founding of the sect by Ancestor Xuanyuan, there have been tens of millions of disciples, but most of them died on the long path to immortality or went to pursue a path that was more suitable for them."

Disciples below the Nascent Soul stage have not yet clearly defined their own path, therefore the sect will not accept their soul lamps and will give them more freedom.

Therefore, only a few hundred thousand disciples actually lit the Soul Lamp.

Li Yang remained silent.

"But I've only reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and my Soul Lamp has already been lit at the Xuan Tian Sword Sect."

The Grand Elder opened his hand, and a soul lamp appeared.

Li Yang's eyes narrowed; this was none other than the soul lamp he had left behind at the Xuan Tian Sword Sect.

"If your soul lamp remains in the Xuan Tian Sword Sect, it may be used by those with ulterior motives to kill you. As soon as the secret realm ends, I have someone bring it to the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect to prevent any unforeseen circumstances."

The elder's face was kind. "We left your soul lamp here to better protect you, and also because you have seen your own path clearly. If you will eventually give up the way of the sword, then there is no need for old guys like us to persist."

Of course, if you feel that doing this is to completely bind yourself to someone, that's fine too; there's no contradiction.

Li Yang had no objection.

In fact, he didn't have a strong sense of belonging to either the Xuantian Sword Sect or the Xuanyuan Sword Sect.

He is only loyal to his own way of the sword.

After the soul lamp was placed, Li Yang glanced at the golden-red soul lamp at the deepest and highest point of the Soul Palace, which was the same color as the Immortal Slaying Sword Pill.

The soul lamp burned so vigorously, like a sun, more intense than any other lamp.

"Ancestor Xuanyuan..."

After leaving the Hall of Life and Souls, the Grand Elder left Li Yang alone, allowing him to roam freely within the Xuanyuan Sword Sect.

The scene I had imagined—a bunch of important figures from the Xuanyuan Sword Sect arguing heatedly and even fighting over taking me as a disciple—did not happen.

Li Yang also found some peace and quiet.

Anyway, he obtained too many resources in the Ancient Immortal Secret Realm, and even Ning Xi's little world was worn around his neck.

Especially after finally killing Mu Zangfeng and Qianyang Saint Son, the small world and storage ring obtained were not yet refined, and it was too late to see what good things were inside.

Thinking of Mu Zangfeng's little world, Li Yang suddenly remembered something.

"Damn! I forgot about his harem!"

The next moment, several imposing figures descended from outside the Taixi Mountains—

"Li Yang! You killed the Holy Son of Qianyang, fine, but why did you also kidnap my disciple!"

"Little sword cultivator! I'm glad you killed the Holy Son of Qianyang, but shouldn't you release my daughter?"

"Li Yang, you've obtained the Qianyang Emperor Body of the Qianyang Holy Son, are you going to inherit all of his Daoist partners?!"
