Chapter 127: Above the Immortal Emperor!

Someone ‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‍wanted to challenge his position as Sword Master?

Interesting.

He ‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‍stood with his hands behind his back, quietly waiting.

Moments ‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‍later, that sword intent drew closer and closer.

A ‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‍figure walked slowly out of the void.

That person was shrouded in a layer of hazy light, their face indistinct and impossible to see clearly.

Just like Gu Yan himself—in the other’s eyes, he too could not be seen clearly.

This was the rule of this place.

In the Origin of Myriad Swords, no one could reveal their true appearance.

But that person’s sword intent could not be faked.

Gu Yan sensed that sword intent and found it somewhat familiar.

After a brief recollection, he remembered.

Wasn’t this the same cautious cultivator from the Central Lands of the Spirit Realm back then—the one who, at the Transformation Spirit Realm, comprehended the Supreme Sword Dao Great Divine Ability, yet remained so low-key that almost no one knew of him?

He hadn’t expected to encounter him here.

And judging by the situation, the other party clearly also wanted to become the Sword Master.

Gu Yan did not speak. He simply watched quietly.

The man walked closer and also stopped.

The two stood facing each other across the void.

In the next instant, the man moved.

He formed his fingers into a sword and pointed toward Gu Yan.

In a flash, billions of sword lights burst forth from behind him, transforming into a rain of swords that swept toward Gu Yan.

Within that sword light was contained all of his sword intent.

Gu Yan remained calm and waved his hand.

The Sword of All Beings appeared out of thin air and lightly slashed.

With one strike, the entire sky of sword light dissipated.

The man’s figure swayed slightly as he took half a step back.

Gu Yan remained standing in place, unmoving.

The difference between them was instantly clear.

The man was silent for a moment before speaking in a low voice, “Since the birth of this place, there has never been a Sword Master.”

Gu Yan raised an eyebrow slightly. “So?”

The man said, “I once believed this place would forever remain without a master. I never expected that the position of Sword Master had already been taken.”

Gu Yan looked at him and asked, “How did you know that this place would have a Sword Master?”

The man did not answer.

He only gave Gu Yan a deep look as his figure gradually faded.

Moments later, he completely disappeared from this vast void.

Only a single sentence echoed through the void:

“I am not your match now.”

“But that does not mean I never will be.”

Gu Yan stood in place, looking toward where the man had disappeared, deep in thought.

This person’s cultivation realm was still only at the Transformation Spirit stage.

And although his sword dao was already extraordinary, compared to Gu Yan, the Sword Master of All Beings, there was still a considerable gap.

Yet this person had been able to speak.

One must know that this place was the Origin of Myriad Swords. Ordinary cultivators entering here could not speak at all and could only clash through sword intent.

The fact that this person could do so meant that his understanding of this world had reached an extremely high level.

Moreover, from his final words, it seemed he was certain that one day he would catch up to Gu Yan.

Gu Yan felt a bit more curiosity toward this person.

Who exactly was he?

......

Somewhere within the vast void.

That figure gradually solidified.

His face was still indistinct, but the sword intent surrounding him had become even more restrained than before.

He stood silently in the void for a long time.

After a while, he let out a soft sigh.

“Sword Master of All Beings… what a Sword Master of All Beings.”

He lowered his head to look at his hands, his gaze complicated.

His current sword dao was indeed inferior to that man’s.

But he was not discouraged.

Because he knew he had time.

He was not originally from this world.

He came from the Immortal Realm.

He had once been an Immortal Emperor.

The Immortal Emperor Realm was already the pinnacle in the Immortal Realm.

But he knew that above the Immortal Emperor, there existed an even higher realm.

That realm—he had once attempted to break through to it.

Unfortunately, he failed.

The consequence of failure was the destruction of his physical body and severe damage to his immortal soul, forcing him to fall into reincarnation and start over.

Through countless cycles of reincarnation, he had cultivated again for who knew how many years, finally stepping onto the path of cultivation once more in this world.

And the reason he chose the sword dao was precisely because he had learned during reincarnation that if one could become the Sword Master of the Origin of Myriad Swords, one could ascend once more to the Immortal Emperor Realm through the sword dao—and even surpass the Immortal Emperor, stepping into that realm he had once gazed upon from afar.

He just had not expected that when he finally reached this point, he would discover that the position of Sword Master had already been taken.

He withdrew his thoughts and looked into the distance, as if piercing through endless void to see that figure standing in the position of Sword Master.

“Sword Master of All Beings…”

“Quite an interesting person.”

He turned and walked in another direction.

Since the position of Sword Master was gone, he would take another path.

There were countless paths in the Great Dao of heaven and earth—not only the sword dao.

He refused to believe that, as the reincarnation of an Immortal Emperor, he could not find a second path to the supreme.

As for the sword dao…

He would not give it up.

But he would approach it differently.

After all, that person might be strong, but not necessarily strong forever.

......

Within the Supreme Creation Lesser Luo Grotto Heaven, inside the Longevity Hall.

Gu Yan opened his eyes, ending this journey to the Origin of Myriad Swords.

He sat on his cushion, pondered for a moment, then raised his hand. The Haotian Mirror appeared.

The mirror surface flowed with light.

Gu Yan pointed with two fingers, continuing to deduce the origin of that person.

Moments later, his brows furrowed slightly.

Within the Haotian Mirror, there was only blankness—this time, even that person’s form and outline could not be found.

Gu Yan pondered, then tried several more times.

Still nothing.

He could not deduce anything at all.

Gu Yan put away the Haotian Mirror, his gaze flickering slightly.

He speculated that this person either possessed a spiritual treasure capable of concealing heavenly secrets comparable to the Haotian Mirror, or cultivated an extremely powerful concealment divine ability.

Either possibility meant that this person was not simple.

However, Gu Yan was not in a hurry.

If this person wanted to seize the position of Sword Master of the Origin of Myriad Swords, he would need the ability to do so.

Gu Yan shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

No matter what, he would never give up the position of Sword Master.

After all, it was something that increased his attack power.

......

Time passed like a shuttle, and in the blink of an eye, another thirty years went by.

Within the Supreme Creation Lesser Luo Grotto Heaven, inside the Longevity Hall.

Gu Yan slowly opened his eyes.

He was now six hundred and ninety years old, and his cultivation had reached the Earth Immortal Sixth Layer.

Sensing the surging immortal essence within his body, Gu Yan nodded slightly, quite satisfied.

These thirty years of cultivation had gone more smoothly than he had expected.

The reasons were twofold.

First, the Nine Qi Returning to Origin Tree and the Illusory Dao Seed of Chaos Planting a Green Lotus.

Since taking root in the Little Luo Grotto Heaven, these two continuously produced all kinds of spiritual energy.

And as time passed, that spiritual energy became increasingly dense.

If one had to make a comparison, where the output of innate spiritual energy used to be one, now it was nine.

Second, his comprehension of the Dao had deepened.

Although Gu Yan rarely left, he had the Haotian Mirror to observe the operation of the myriad worlds, and the Sword of All Beings to resonate with the Origin of Myriad Swords.

Coupled with his already outstanding comprehension, over the years his understanding of the laws of heaven and earth had far surpassed others at the same level.

With these two factors combined, it was impossible for his cultivation speed to be slow.

Gu Yan calculated that at this rate, breaking through to the Earth Immortal Seventh Layer would not take long.

And indeed—

Another ten years later.

At exactly seven hundred years old, Gu Yan broke through to the Earth Immortal Seventh Layer.

On this day, he stepped out of the Longevity Hall and looked at the rolling sea of clouds in the distance, feeling quite refreshed.

Earth Immortal Seventh Layer—one step closer to Heavenly Immortal.

After pondering for a moment, he released his divine sense, sweeping across the Little Luo Grotto Heaven.

Below the heavenly palace, everything in the Taiyi Dao Sect was as usual.

Disciples cultivated, worked, and discussed the Dao in an orderly manner.

Honglian had grown taller over the years, her fiery red hair becoming even more dazzling.

As for A Lan, ever since its last excursion, it frequently traveled between the Little Luo Grotto Heaven and the outside world, enjoying itself.

Everything was peaceful.

Gu Yan withdrew his divine sense and used the Haotian Mirror to glance at the situation in the Spirit Realm.

Yes—still that same strange balance.

He shook his head and no longer paid attention.

Turning around, his gaze fell before the Longevity Hall.

There stood a small tree.

It was not tall, only about nine feet high, with a slender trunk.

It was the Eternal World Tree of the Eternal Night Sovereign.

This small tree had finally grown from a tender sprout into a small tree.

However, it still had no leaves.

Gu Yan stepped closer and looked at the bare tree, curiosity flickering in his eyes.

Each leaf of the Eternal World Tree represented a world.

He wondered whether there would be worlds he was familiar with from his previous life.

A trace of anticipation arose in his heart.

But he quickly dismissed the thought.

The leaves had not yet grown—it was too early to think about such things.

What mattered now was continued cultivation.

As for what to do once the leaves grew…

Gu Yan thought for a moment. Although he did not intend to personally explore those worlds, he would be quite happy to give his incarnation, Dragon Lord, something to do.

That fellow, these days in the Spirit Realm, spent his time idling around, occasionally pondering how to establish a Heavenly Court.

He refused to recruit anyone below the Human Immortal Realm—but the problem was, where in the Spirit Realm were there Human Immortal cultivators?

If he were sent to explore those leaf-worlds, he would probably be delighted.

......

(The following is the author chatting with the esteemed readers)

Dear readers, by now you have probably guessed.

That’s right—the upcoming plot will usher in the era of the myriad worlds.

The Heaven and Earth Great Love Unity Alliance will take the first leaf of the Eternal World Tree as its starting point and officially step into the myriad worlds.

At that time, all kinds of worlds, civilizations, and powerful beings will appear one after another.

As for how exactly it will unfold, please stay tuned for the next chapter.
