First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 277: Tremors from All Sides

"Buzz!"

The clan leader's sword was still trembling.

Tian Hong used his divine sense to explore the sword, constantly soothing the ignorant sword spirit within.

The killing intent and determination in his eyes grew stronger.

"While his cultivation is not high and he has not gained much power, it is time to strike hard!"

With this thought, Tian Hong no longer paid attention to the restlessness of the spiritual sword. He took out a sound transmission talisman and quickly made arrangements.

As all the cultivators' gazes were focused on the radiant sky and the sword's resonance, in the next instant...

The Bone Mirror, hanging on the western city wall of Hongye City, inexplicably flickered and quickly returned to normal.

The omen of "Sword Mastery Connecting with the Divine" not only shocked the cultivators in the city, but also alarmed the various immortal sects within a hundred miles.

Jinchan Tower.

Elder Xu Tong, wearing heavy armor, held a trembling flying sword and went to find the sect master of Jinchan Tower.

To his surprise, he discovered that even the sect master's flying sword was resonating joyfully towards Hongye City.

"Sect Master, what is going on?"

"In Jinchan Tower, all the flying swords of our disciples and disciples' disciples have shown this strange omen."

"Could it be that a divine weapon has appeared?"

Since Xu Tong found a set of matching heavy armor, his combat power had increased significantly. He had killed many powerful evil cultivators and even went to Tian Shan City to kill several second-stage demon leaders, earning numerous merits for Jinchan Tower.

Therefore, the sect master of Jinchan Tower valued him greatly.

Seeing him inquire, the sect master of Jinchan Tower's expression turned solemn and replied, "The sword-shaped radiant light hanging in the sky, the thousands of swords resonating in pilgrimage..."

"This is the omen of Sword Mastery Connecting with the Divine!"

"It is not wrong to say that a divine weapon has appeared. However, this divine weapon is a sword cultivator prodigy."

"..."

Hearing the sect master's explanation, Xu Tong couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"For thousands of years, in the cultivation world of Chi Yan Country, there have been less than ten sword experts who could cause such anomalies."

"The most famous one is undoubtedly the Heavenly Sovereign who left behind a sword aura in Tian Shan."

"The five major immortal sects, including Jinchan Tower..."

"All recorded the celestial anomalies caused by this Heavenly Sovereign's cultivation of sword mastery connecting with the divine."

"But compared to the one in Hongye City, it is much more terrifying!"

"According to records, at that time, the radiant light illuminated millions of miles, and all the billions of sword auras in Chi Yan Country trembled continuously, pointing towards the direction of Tian Shan in Central State."

"However, this Heavenly Sovereign seems to be not from Chi Yan Country. He should be a powerful being from another domain!"

Xu Tong's heart swayed as he spoke, his voice filled with respect.

It was not respect for the sect master of Jinchan Tower, but for that Heavenly Sovereign and all the experts who had achieved mastery in "Sword Mastery Connecting with the Divine."

"Among those who are closest or still alive, are there any in the cultivation world of Chi Yan Country?"

Speaking of this, a hint of longing appeared on the sect master of Jinchan Tower's face.

"Eight hundred years ago, the Linjiang Sect produced an unparalleled female sword immortal!"

"The renowned 'Sword Art of the Pure Maiden Immortal' in her sect was created by this female sword immortal."

"This predecessor also caused the omen of Sword Mastery Connecting with the Divine... Unfortunately, she perished when she attempted to reverse behead the old monster at the peak of the Linghai Realm."

"And seven hundred and fifty years ago, there was a Sword Master from the Heavenly Sword Sect..."

"..."

"The one who is still alive is none other than the sword prodigy from Hongye City."

"The other one is the current master of the Tianjian Sect. He should be over eighty years old. I was fortunate enough to witness that extraordinary phenomenon!"

"At that time, when the demonic calamity was at its peak, the master of the Tianjian Sect had a sudden enlightenment on the fiercely fought battlefield."

"He reached the realm of swordsmanship transcending the ordinary!"

"After the phenomenon ended, with just one sword, he annihilated one hundred thousand celestial demons."

"With this achievement, he was able to succeed as the head of the Tianjian Sect!"

The master of the Jinchan Tower spoke highly of the master of the Tianjian Sect.

However, the Jinchan Tower was located within the territory of Qingzhou, with the imposing presence of the Linjiang Sect above it, so it was not easy to get too close to the Tianjian Sect.

Coming back to his senses, the master of the Jinchan Tower instructed Xu Tong, "Take a valuable gift and go to Hongye City."

"See if you can find that sword prodigy."

"If you can find this person, invite him to the Jinchan Tower as my guest!"

Xu Tong scratched his head, looking hesitant.

"Master, there are over a million ordinary people in Hongye City. As for cultivators, they are few and far between!"

"I have no clue at all, how can I possibly find this person?"

"I can't just meet a Fellow Daoist... and ask him if he is a master of swordsmanship, right?"

Seeing that he didn't understand, the master of the Jinchan Tower swung his trembling sword, striking Xu Tong's heavy armor with the sword's body.

"This sword prodigy is definitely not an ordinary person!"

"When you enter Hongye City, inquire about the outstanding swordsmen from various sects and the powerful wandering cultivators who have recently arrived. It won't take much effort."

"In addition, focus on investigating the newly arrived Shen Zhangshi!"

I am seventy percent certain that this phenomenon... was caused by him."

Xu Tong nodded in agreement.

In his heart, he complained about his own master. He clearly guessed who caused the phenomenon, but he kept going around in circles with him.

Wouldn't it be easier to directly visit that "Shen Zhangshi"?

It seemed that the master of the Jinchan Tower saw through his thoughts and reminded him again not to go straight to the Garrison Office.

Even if it's just pretending, he must pretend to be visiting the city!

Xu Tong didn't understand, but he still followed the orders of his master and walked briskly towards the gate of the Jinchan Tower.

...

In another immortal sect, the Golden Sect, a similar scene unfolded.

Not long after, an elder dressed as a merchant flew towards Hongye City on a flying device.

In addition, in the domain guarded by Shen Mo.

The various cultivation families within the city, the small immortal sects outside the city, and many wandering cultivators all began to take action.

Shen Mo was not very aware of this.

At this moment, his mind was still focused on the Heavenly Mandate Panel.

"You have diligently cultivated the way of the sword and reached the realm of swordsmanship transcending the ordinary. By using the law to touch the Dao, you have successfully comprehended the innate Divine Ability (Sword Body)."

"After continuous enlightenment, you have mastered the essence of the 'Sword Spirit Technique,' deepening your understanding of it. Experience points for the 'Sword Spirit Technique' +1500."

"After continuous enlightenment, you have mastered the essence of the 'Big Dipper Seven Star Sword Formation,' deepening your understanding of it. Experience points for the 'Big Dipper Seven Star Sword Formation' +1250."

"After continuous enlightenment, you have mastered the essence of the 'Senluo Sword Canon,' deepening your understanding of it. Experience points for the 'Senluo Sword Canon' +3500."

One piece of information after another came back, greatly surprising Shen Mo!

He didn't expect that the low-grade 'Supreme Pure Sword Technique,' when cultivated to the level of 'Returning to Simplicity,' would bring so many benefits.

Among them, all the immortal arts and martial techniques related to swordsmanship were greatly enhanced.

The experience bar for the 'Senluo Sword Canon' even skyrocketed.

Because of its superior quality, it surpassed the 'Supreme Pure Sword Technique' by one level.

Therefore, in Shen Mo's eyes...

This progress was no less than the harvest he had when he practiced swordsmanship and entered a state of enlightenment by the bank of the Lancang River!

The attainments in this sword technique had also reached the level of 'Entering the Hall.'
