Chapter 384 - 384: Ten Thousand Phaseless Swords
“Patriarch, do you know what’s happening inside?
Xiang Yang looked at the unusual situation inside Myriad Sword Mountain and didn’t immediately answer Gu Qiuyue’s question.
Regarding this, Gu Qiuyue didn’t dare to feel even the slightest hint of displeasure.
Because not to mention a mere Sword Master like her, even if the sect leader of
Spirit Sword Sect were to come here, they would have to stand respectfully by the side and not say a word.
After all, the Mountain Sea Immortal Xiang Yang was currently the only expert
at the Tribulation Crossing Stage in the Spirit Sword Sect.
He was just one step away from reaching the legendary realm of immortals.
With his level of cultivation, he was considered one of the top five experts in the entire Upper Realm.
If one were to consider Xiang Yang’s exceptional skill in sword cultivation, he could even be ranked in the top three experts in the entire Upper Realm.
After all, the killing power of a sword cultivator was extremely formidable among cultivators of the same generation.
There were very few peers who would dare claim they could defeat a sword cultivator in a one-on-one battle.
The fact that the commotion in the Myriad Sword Mountain could catch Xiang Yang’s attention indicated that something significant must have occurred.
This event occurred on the second day after Lu Yuan entered the Myriad Sword
Mountain.
This inevitably led Gu Qiuyue to think more about it.
Although she didn’t know what Lu Yuan had done, she was certain that everything before her was related to him.
just as Gu Qiuyue was speculating whether Lu Yuan had found the legendary number one immortal sword within Myriad Sword Mountain, which led to the current commotion…
The Mountain Sea Immortal Xiang Yang, who was standing beside her, spoke.
“Xiao Yue, spread the word to seal off the mountain.
“Seal off the mountain?!”
Gu Qiuyue’s expression changed upon hearing the order to close off the mountain.
For ordinary forces, sealing off a mountain might not be a big deal.
However, for a major sect like Myriad Sword Mountain, the nature of sealing
off the mountain was completely different.
As the saying goes, pulling one hair will affect the entire body.
Once a force like Myriad Sword Mountain chose to seal off the mountain, it would cause shockwaves throughout the entire Upper Realm.
Gu Qiuyue tried to guess what might have happened.
This would subsequently trigger a series of chain reactions.
In history, Spirit Sword Sect only chose to seal off the mountain in times of extermination crisis or when it concerned the breakthrough of a cultivator at the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
However, the current situation seemed to have nothing to do with either of these scenarios.
It didn’t seem to have reached the level where the mountain needed to be sealed off.
But since the patriarch had given the order, Gu Qiuyue naturally wouldn’t say anything more.
“As you command, patriarch.”
With Gu Qiuyue’s departure, the entire Spirit Sword Sect immediately sprang
into action.
A massive array appeared at the foot of Spirit Sword Sect and slowly expanded
to cover the entire sect.
In the bustling Disha cities, news of this abnormality quickly spread.
The order that Spirit Sword Sect was going to be sealed had also spread to all the territories of Spirit Sword Mountain.
Upon learning that the Three Upper Realm Sects’s Spirit Sword Sect was going to be sealed off, countless factions and individuals began to have various thoughts.
Some speculated that the patriarch of the Spirit Sword Sect was about to undergo the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and thus, the mountain was sealed off.
Others believed that a major upheaval had occurred within the Spirit Sword
Sect, forcing them to seal off the mountain.
However, regardless of the speculations, with the sect’s decision to seal off the mountain, these conjectures remained unverified.
Only when Spirit Sword Sect reopened in the future would they be able to understand what had truly transpired?
In the Myriad Sword Mountain, Sword Tomb.
After ensuring that everyone else had left, Xiang Yang entered the Myriad
Sword Mountain alone.
Due to the presence of an array around the Myriad Sword Mountain, outsiders were unable to see exactly what was happening inside.
All they could see was the ominous vortex of clouds swirling at the center of the Myriad Sword Mountain.
Furthermore, this cloud layer didn’t just cover the interior of Myriad Swords Mountain. It extended to encompass over half of the Spirit Sword Sect s territory.
The commotion caused by this was truly shocking.
At this moment, it was as if Xiang Yang couldn’t see his surroundings as he walked towards the center.
Even though he was moving slowly, the environment around him changed drastically with each step he took.
After just two steps, Xiang Yang arrived at the foot of the Myriad Sword Mountain.
At the peak of the Myriad Sword Mountain, a massive Dharma Idol stood with one hand resting on the mountain’s peak.
For some inexplicable reason, the massive Myriad Sword Mountain had cracked.
This crack began at the foot of the mountain and spread towards the peak, now covering one-third of the entire mountain.
Xiang Yang observed all of this with a complex expression.
“The Formless Myriad Swords…there’s someone who can retrieve it.”
Xiang Yang gazed at the fractured Myriad Sword Mountain, recalling the first time he had seen the Formless Myriad Swords.
Indeed, Xiang Yang had also discerned the true nature of the Myriad Sword Mountain.
The entire Myriad Sword Mountain was, in reality, a massive immortal sword.
The stele was, in essence, the hilt of this immortal sword.
Back then, Xiang Yang had indeed attempted to extract the Formless Myriad Swords, but he had ultimately failed.
This wasn’t due to Xiang Yang’s insufficient cultivation but rather his inability to gain the recognition of the Formless Myriad Swords.
Firstly, the path Xiang Yang took was different from that of the Formless
Myriad Swords.
Secondly, his talent in the way of the sword…fell short.
Xiang Yang had previously speculated that if anyone could extract the
Formless Myriad Swords, he must have mastered all thirty-six Big Dipper sword intents.
Only such a person might be able to gain the recognition of the Formless Myriad Swords.
Therefore, upon sensing the surging sword intent of the Mountain of Myriad Swords, Xiang Yang immediately arrived to see who could accomplish this. After all, what even a reborn immortal like him couldn’t achieve, others had managed to do.
Didn’t this imply that the person before him possessed the legendary aura of a true immortal?
Indeed, even among immortals, there were differences.
Whether it was the current Xiang Yang or the Crane Immortal of the past, neither could be considered true immortals.
They possessed only the cultivation of immortals but lacked the essence of immortality.
On the other hand, the former owner of the Formless Myriad Swords was a genuine immortal.
Although the Formless Myriad Swords were only remnants of an immortal sword, Xiang Yang and the Crane Immortal could sense the formidable power emanating from it.
This kind of power was beyond the grasp of Earth Diety like them.
Xiang Yang gazed at Lu Yuan on the mountaintop, his eyes filled with excitement.
Lu Yuan’s presence implied that Xiang Yang’s path was not yet cut off.
The feeling of clearing away the clouds to reveal the light was more exhilarating for Xiang Yang than anything else.
However, Lu Yuan remained completely unaware of Xiang Yang’s arrival.
His entire focus was on the Formless Myriad Swords beside him.
The process of extracting the Formless Myriad Swords was much more challenging than he had anticipated.
It was heavy, exceedingly heavy.
Ever since his breakthrough into the Apotheosis Stage, Lu Yuan had experienced this kind of struggle for the first time.
One must understand that his current action was merely drawing the sword, not engaging in combat.
It was difficult to imagine just how formidable the person who had wielded the Formless Myriad Swords in the past had been.
Nevertheless, the greater the difficulty, the more excited Lu Yuan felt. Because he could sense that if he managed to pull out the sword before him.
It would undoubtedly yield significant benefits for him.
With this in mind, Lu Yuan became more focused.
A white immortal sword began to manifest around the Transcendent Dharma
Idol..
