Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

The glaring gap left the once-confident swordsman feeling utterly desolate, even causing him to question whether his title as the world's greatest swordsman was truly deserved.

Putting aside everything else, even the Five Elements True Lord who stole people's precious treasures was a swordsman.

Caught between a broken heart and unwavering resolve, Kendo Ming had a sudden inspiration and chose to console himself.

No problem. Neither Xuanling Bodhisattva nor the Pure Lotus Dharma King uses a sword. As for the Five Elements True Lord, Jian Daoming refuses to acknowledge that the other party's methods are swordsmanship.

Jian Daoming could see clearly that the reason why the Five Elements True Lord used a sword was simply because this True Lord used a sword as his weapon before entering the Dao, and he retained his past habits after achieving the Dao. His way of fighting had nothing to do with the Dao of the Sword.

When it comes to fighting, he relies entirely on his extremely domineering Five Elements technique.

In other words, it doesn't matter what weapon the Five Elements True Lord uses.

No, to be more precise, the sword in the hands of the Five Elements True Lord, which was neither demonic nor immortal, actually limited the opponent's performance; he was stronger without the sword.

Having successfully convinced himself, Kendo Akira once again strengthened his resolve.

Putting all these monsters aside, Ken Daoming's sword is still the strongest!

More importantly, Kendo Akira felt that he had finally seen his own path forward.

Wielding a three-foot-long sword, he vanquished heroes across the land.

One day, he will challenge these monsters again with his sword and use it to prove his path.

One hundred years in the East, one hundred years in the West, never underestimate the Sword Saint's poverty!

It's not too late to fight again in a hundred years!

With a clear mind and a firm belief in his swordsmanship, he was filled with confidence in his swordsmanship and his future.

Even if someone told him that these monsters were also getting stronger, and at a much faster rate than he was, he wouldn't believe it.

In Jian Daoming's view at this moment, even if he had to stop here and return to the Wuji Sword Sect in Chengtian Domain, this trip to Daqi would still have been worthwhile.

In the past, he sat in the mountains in seclusion, making little progress in his swordsmanship for a hundred years. This time, after beating up a few people and getting beaten up a few times, his swordsmanship has already taken initial shape.

Fighting like this is a sure-fire way to make money.

As for now...

Jian Daoming planned to first go to the East Sea to ask the old Dragon King in the Dragon Palace for advice, and then go to the East Sea Grotto-Heaven to ask Huayang Sanxian, who was living in seclusion deep in the Danxia Grotto-Heaven, for advice.

There are too many monsters in the Great Qi, making the battles rather boring. If you want to gain some insight, you should find those with similar skill levels to ask about your sword.

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the winter of the thirty-first year of Ningtai, Jian Daoming, the Sword Saint of Chengtian Domain, challenged the Dragon Palace of the East Sea and the Cave Heaven of the East Sea to sword duels.

Two victories in World War II.

Two resounding victories allowed Kendo Ming to rebuild his swordsmanship once again.

Between heading straight for Sixiang Mountain and detouring through the northern border.

This swordsman, who was extremely good at self-consolation, chose Mount Sixiang without hesitation.

A true swordsman, unafraid of any challenge!

Another year has passed, and the mountains are ablaze with red leaves. The Sword Saint of Chengtian Domain has been challenging the Four Symbols Mountain for a full year and a half, suffering six defeats in seven battles.

Apart from Ming Jiayu, the youngest of the land immortals of Sixiang Mountain, Jian Daoming lost to none of the other six who fought.

In terms of both seniority and age, Ming Jiayu was the youngest among the juniors, and defeating her brought the Sword Saint no joy.

What he truly wanted to fight were the unassuming peak masters of the four peaks, as well as the current Celestial Master and the Palace Master of Taiwei Palace, who ranked eighth and ninth on the Nine Realms Immortal God Ranking.

In Jian Daoming's vision, he might not be a match for the current Celestial Master and the Palace Master of Taiwei, but defeating the four peak masters of Sixiang Mountain should not be too difficult.

Unfortunately, reality dealt this sword saint of Chengtian Domain a heavy blow.

None of those who can make it in Daqi are simple.

The four peak masters are all formidable and have the advantage of playing on their home turf; none of them are weaker than Jian Daoming.

The series of battles made it difficult for Jian Daoming to keep up. Even after recuperating for several months after each battle, he still couldn't defeat the four peak masters who were no weaker than him.

As for Zhang Ming'an, the master of Taiwei Palace, Jian Daoming said that he is also a monster. Although he is not as exaggerated as the Five Elements True Lord, he is still a real monster.

In comparison, Li Tailing, the contemporary Celestial Master of Sixiang Mountain, is actually less powerful than his monstrous little apprentice.

The series of defeats did not disappoint Kendo Akira.

The battle with the four peak masters of the Four Symbols Mountain greatly benefited Jian Daoming, and he gradually gained a clearer understanding of the path ahead.

If there's anything that bothers Jian Daoming, it's that he really wants to go and kill the Xuantian Pavilion Master, whose whereabouts are unknown.

What kind of ridiculous ranking is this? It's not even updated once every few decades, and the assessment of the strength of each party is so inaccurate that this ranking is completely useless!

As for the number one Celestial Master in the world, Jian Daoming did not challenge him.

It wasn't that this sword fanatic didn't want to challenge the old master to a sword duel, but rather that whenever Jian Daoming had such thoughts, a bad premonition would linger in his mind.

Although he didn't know the reason, Kendo Akira still chose to give up from the bottom of his heart.

In the autumn of the thirty-third year of Ningtai, Jian Daoming left Sixiang Mountain and went to the northern border.

……

……

At the same time, inside Qing'an Prefecture.

"That old lecherous swordsman is really persistent. He even went all the way to Four Symbols Mountain to ask about swordsmanship. Doesn't he have any idea how powerful the old Celestial Master is?"

In the study, Mu Ling'er sipped tea while flipping through the latest Jianghu Daily.

The front page of the daily newspaper was about the Sword Saint's challenge to the Celestial Master's Mansion. The headline written by the Shocking News Department immediately caught Mu Ling'er's attention.

Shocking! Shocking! Shocking! Ten days and ten nights of continuous battle! A few things the Sword Saint of Chengtian Domain and the Peak Master of Zhuque Peak had to say!

After clicking her tongue lightly, Mu Ling'er put down the Jianghu Daily in her hand and looked up at Mu An sitting opposite her.

"I wonder what kind of background this Jianghu Daily has. Making up stories about immortals like this, aren't they afraid of getting their hands on a fake account?"

Mu An picked up the daily newspaper and glanced at it before his expression became rather strange.

"Not necessarily. This daily newspaper was produced by the Taiwei Palace Master of Mount Sixiang. A few years ago, he took in a disciple who did some rather interesting things..."

"A disciple of the Taiwei Palace Master? For Da'an to find him interesting, this person must be quite capable, right?"

Mu Ling'er didn't take it seriously, and put a piece of pastry in her mouth while eating and asking questions.

Mu An shook his head slightly, "Last year, the Old Celestial Master retrieved quite a few people from the Chaos Sea, but they were just pawns."

What Mu An didn't tell Mu Ling'er was that on the very day the Celestial Master brought this person, who seemed to be from the same place as him, he had followed the traces left by the Celestial Master and used the power of the Book of Creation to peek into that world.

On that very day, Mu An glimpsed the world beyond the Nine Domains for the first time, and realized for the first time just how high the dimensional level of the Nine Domains truly was.

Compared to the numerous laws that suppress people in the Nine Realms, the realm where the Old Celestial Master rescues people is simply paradise within paradise.

The suppression of various laws on both sides differed by thousands of times.

It's no exaggeration to say that if you randomly picked a barely passable martial artist from the Nine Realms and threw them there, as long as they could adapt to the world's laws, they would all be superhuman.

Mu An even felt that if he went all out and activated the Great Dao, he could directly destroy the star opposite him.

Unfortunately, the opposite realm also lacked immortality and reincarnation, and it was not the world where Mu An had once lived.

Overall, the opposite realm consists of thirty-two stars, only one of which is a life-bearing planet. It is a world that combines technology and martial arts, and is quite accomplished in the technology of modifying humans.

Unfortunately, these technologies cannot be applied to the Nine Domains.
