This is the second-grade holy land, Shenxiao Sword-Breaking Palace!

The second palace is a crescent-shaped building surrounded by cherry blossoms, a colossal structure composed of nine courtyards.

This is the second-grade sacred land, September Cherry Blossom Sword Court.

The third palace is a magnificent pavilion that seems to blot out the sky, its roof pierced with countless sword blades; [Second-Rank Sacred Land - Taiyin Shelter Pavilion]

The last one, adorned with countless stars, is built atop the mountain range, resembling a floating garden that seems to reach for the night sky; [Second-Rank Sacred Land - Starry Sky Gate Pass!]

Surrounding the four colossal holy sites are countless other holy sites.

The central town, surrounded by so many holy sites, is the incomparably prosperous Divine Sword City.

Within Divine Sword City, there are almost no courtyard or palace-type buildings like those in smaller realms.

Instead, all that could be seen were skyscrapers rising from the clouds, hovering in the night sky, radiating colorful neon lights.

Seeing this landscape town is like a miracle.

Many of the newly arrived village girl weapon refiners were instantly shocked. A sense of ambition arose in their hearts, and they wanted to go to the holy land as soon as possible to gain enlightenment and make a name for themselves in the Divine Sword Competition!

After registering basic information inside the airship station, Lu Chan took Zhu Yanxiang's hand and walked out of the airship station.

Before heading to the holy site.

Of course, they needed to rent a room in the City of the First God Sword.

Even if they paid fifty top-grade spirit embryos, they could only rent a room of only 100 square meters with only one virtual training room for three months.

But you should know that fifty top-grade spirit embryos are enough to rent a large palace in the City of Divine Marriage for three months!

Initially, Zhu Yanxiang suggested, "Since he is an emperor, there's no need to find a place to stay. He can just stay in the holy land to cultivate, right?"

Unfortunately, the Holy Land would naturally be wary of people using this method.

Each holy site imposes a curfew at 3 a.m. sharp, expelling members who are not part of the main force of the team; and if the curfew is delayed due to training, more overnight fees will be charged.

Even an emperor, of such high status, would not spend the night on the street.

After a night of dramatic events.

As dawn broke, the stunningly beautiful girl with long, purple spiral scorpion braids emerged from the room.

After parting ways with Zhu Yanxiang...

Lu Chan flew towards the location of the Divine Firmament Sword Palace until he was close to the door of the giant sword that reached the sky.

A hint of nostalgia finally appeared in Lu Chan's pale purple eyes.

Finally back...

Meanwhile, the maid guarding the door also saw Lu Chan and carefully observed the petite girl with an extremely beautiful face, dressed in a white and purple court dress. She had just finished dual cultivation and there was still a trace of charming charm on her cheeks.

The maid asked softly, "Is this a one-day limited-time home visit service for Daoist partners?"

"We're sorry, but Shenxiao Sword-Breaking Palace doesn't allow this kind of service to be provided at your door. Please inform your client to have it done outside."

"By the way, let me add your contact information too, so I can easily contact you for service later~~~~"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chan was slightly taken aback.

Then, her pale purple eyes twitched slightly, and she said speechlessly, "No, I came here to comprehend the divine powers of the sacred land!!"

She never expected that she would be mistaken again for someone offering limited-time dating services.

This time, even Lu Chan couldn't help but have some doubts. Did he really look that feverish...?

"Oh? So that's not how it was supposed to be?"

The maid suddenly realized, then said with some disappointment, "Since you're a new student, please come with me to test your swordsmanship talent."

"The test is worth ten top-grade spirit embryos. This will make it easier to recommend suitable supernatural abilities to you, so you don't waste more money for no reason."

"it is good"

Lu Chan suppressed his confusion and nodded silently.

Testing one's aptitude for enlightenment is also a necessary step to enter the Holy Land; moreover, she also wants to know what type of sword techniques and supernatural abilities her natal spirit weapon in this life, Sleeping Beauty Rose Princess, is best suited to learn.

Soon, the maid led Lu Chan into the first floor of the palace, and she explained:

"Our Second-Rank Holy Land, the Divine Firmament Sword Palace, was founded by the Divine Firmament Sword God, a divine weapon refiner from countless eras ago."

"Unfortunately, in the final moments of her life, the Divine Firmament Sword Goddess challenged the divine artifact, the Other Shore, in pursuit of the ultimate swordsmanship. She was defeated and died. But in any case, she was universally recognized as the most stunning weapon refiner of that era!"

Lu Chan nodded.

She had recently witnessed the terrifying swordsmanship of the divine artifact, the Other Shore. Its swordsmanship, which was as powerful as a natural disaster, was enough to extinguish all the world's ignorant fantasies about swordsmanship.

The divine weapon, the sword that fell from the other shore...

The sword strike that severed the entire White Snow Sacred Void is still etched in Lu Chan's mind and has not faded to this day.

Of course, Lu Chan didn't have much to say about this.

She is a direct descendant of the Tianhuan Lu family. Since birth, her mastery of the Sun Wheel Technique and her talent far surpasses that of swordsmanship!

In her past life, she was able to easily develop close combat techniques far surpassing those of "Reincarnation" and "Doomsday," but in terms of swordsmanship, Lu Chan also admitted... she was probably inferior to an existence like the Divine Firmament Sword God.

Otherwise, she would have created her own swordsmanship instead of specifically learning swordsmanship and supernatural abilities.

Soon, Lu Chan followed the maid into the first hall of the Shenxiao Sword Palace.

Inside the sacred hall, the walls formed by the blue sword blades were covered with dense sword marks, some strong and some weak; some were imbued with powerful sword intent, while others were rather mediocre; and even... some left no trace at all, merely marks left by friction.

Besides Lu Chan, seven emperors were also waiting here; they were all sitting cross-legged in meditation, waiting for everyone to arrive.

A moment later, Lu Chan raised his head and looked at the very conspicuous and shocking black sword mark!

The maid explained, "This sword mark was left by one of the instructors of the Divine Firmament Sword Breaking Palace, Lady Black Eyes, when she first came to the Divine Firmament Sword Breaking Palace; in fact, Lady Black Eyes is not only a Sun Wheel weapon refiner, but her attainments in swordsmanship are also very profound!"

Unaware of the somewhat resentful look on Lu Chan's face, she continued:

"However, emperors and demigods are different after all. You don't need to use your full strength when you test it later. Just bring out the characteristics of the magical weapon you want to test to the maximum extent! In short, you'll know how to test it later."

"Okay, okay, I understand!"

Lu Chan responded softly.

She had been tested in her previous life, so of course she understood the rules.

After the maid left, she, dressed in a white and purple court dress, sat quietly in the hall and waited.

After nearly an incense stick's time had passed, two more weapon refiners were brought in.

Once ten emperors had gathered, the weapon refiner in charge of the test announced, "The test shall begin immediately."

She infused a wisp of spiritual energy into the wall covered with sword marks.

"Wow!!!!"

A beam of azure light illuminated the hall and engulfed the ten emperors present.

At that moment, everyone seemed to have been transported to another space, and they all showed expressions of surprise; and at this moment, in their eyes, apart from the clouds surrounding the sky, they could no longer see anything else.

Even they were temporarily isolated from each other.

In the void, a dazzling figure, enveloped in azure clouds, descended lightly into the clouds, her azure Daoist robe draped over her shoulders.

Her ethereal voice slowly rang out: "Greetings, everyone. I am a wisp of sword spirit remaining from the life of the Divine Firmament Sword God, responsible for testing your understanding of the Way of the Sword; from now on, all the supernatural abilities you learn regarding the Divine Firmament Sword-Breaking Technique will be taught by me."

"Please all of you try to attack me with your swords."

"Do not use any techniques or supernatural powers, nor use active talents or spiritual skills, and especially do not use elemental artifacts to enchant sword energy, sword beams, or even sword domains... Oh, of course, if you have comprehended sword intent, you can use it."

"In short, what I want to see is your initial understanding of swordsmanship! So, you only need to swing your sword in the most basic way."

The most basic sword strike, but it can be imbued with sword intent...?

Upon hearing this, some of the emperors present who possessed sword intent were eager to try. They quickly summoned their spiritual weapons and launched a slash at the sword soul of the Divine Firmament Sword God.

At the same time:

Due to the slashes inflicted by the emperors in the illusionary world, several new sword marks appeared out of thin air on the walls of the palace.

Sword Soul also began to point and comment on the emperors: "Your slashes are quite good, possessing unstoppable power. I suggest you learn the more powerful Divine Firmament Sword Breaking Technique."

After giving her instructions, her consciousness drifted to another emperor and said, "Your slashing movements are quite balanced, and you leave yourself a backup plan when you attack. I suggest you learn more about blocking techniques like the 'Sunset' style, which may bring about a qualitative change in your future fighting style!"

"Your swordsmanship is flashy but impractical. I suggest you turn left and go learn the swordsmanship of the Starry Sky Gate Pass. You are not suitable to come to our Divine Firmament Sword-Breaking Palace."

"As for you, I don't recommend learning swordsmanship. How about trying to learn other magical weapons instead...?"

Hearing the sword spirit's guidance.

Some emperors looked excited, while others looked ashen.

After the other nine people have all finished their tests.

The sword spirit floated to the only weapon refiner who hadn't yet wielded his sword.

Even the sword spirit of the Divine Firmament Sword God was slightly taken aback when he looked at the beautiful girl with white and purple spiral pigtails.

She said with some confusion, "And you...? Aren't you going to draw your sword? Hurry up and swing it at me!"

"This insight has a time limit."

"If you miss this opportunity, you'll have to deliver ten more top-grade spirit embryos!"

But at this moment, the sword spirit is still unaware.

Upon hearing the words "the most basic slash," Lu Chan had already fallen into deep thought.

She didn't understand why the seemingly basic, seemingly unskilled strike from the divine artifact, "Other Shore," could directly shatter the entire White Snow Sacred Domain.

The divine weapon, "The Other Shore," is also a sword!

But is her understanding of swordsmanship truly on the same level as that of demigod swordsmen, overlord swordsmen, and even swordsmen like the Divine Firmament Sword God?

Just how terrifyingly profound understanding of swordsmanship was contained in that simple, falling sword strike from the divine weapon, The Other Shore?

He recalled the scenes of the war of gods.

Lu Chan also summoned the seven-colored giant sword whose body emitted a glassy light.

Then, with her hands painted with purple nail polish, she slowly grasped the hilt of Sleeping Beauty Rose Princess's sword, spun it 180 degrees, and held it diagonally in the air.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Chan actually imitated the original move of the divine weapon "Other Shore", gathering rose petals and slashing out a seven-colored sword mark.

She seemed to have gained some insight.

The divine weapon, the slash of the other shore, is a swordsmanship meant to bury all things in the world!

Perhaps, in the eyes of the other side, there is no living being that cannot be killed by a single sword strike...

"..."

"..."

"what!!!"

In an instant...

The indifferent expression on Shenxiao Sword Soul's face suddenly changed dramatically at this moment.

She seemed to see something unbelievable, and even the light and shadow body made of spiritual energy began to tremble unstablely, on the verge of dissipating!

She was clearly just a wisp of the sword spirit left behind by the Divine Firmament Sword God before his death, so how could she possibly feel fear?

However, she was trembling instinctively, filled with primal fear!

You must know that countless eons ago, the Divine Firmament Sword God died at the hands of the divine artifact, the Other Shore... So how could she possibly forget that fear?

next second...

Just listen to a "click".

The maid in charge of the test looked up, somewhat bewildered.

Under her gaze, a rose-shaped sword mark about a hundred meters long appeared on the wall of the Divine Firmament Sword Palace, almost splitting the entire wall in two.

"How can this be?"

Within the fantasy space, the Divine Firmament Sword Soul pleaded for mercy with a trembling voice:
