Chapter 972 - 972 Stepping into the Five Sheep Pavilion to Catch Sheep (2)
972 Stepping into the Five Sheep Pavilion to Catch Sheep (2)
The Sword Pavilion was without a master, and the elders held the power.
An Elder represented a faction’s authority.
“Zhao Yu, along with Han Muye, you went to search for the place where the senior sword cultivator attained enlightenment. How did it go? Did you witness Han Muye’s actions?” A voice resonated from the side of the great hall.
Dan Mingtao, dressed in a black robe, sat in the lower left position, looking at Zhao Yu.
That was the reason Zhao Yu could come to the great hall today.
Be it Heavenly Mystic or the Medicine Valley, they already knew Han Muye very well.
Only this time, Zhao Yu was accompanying Han Muye in exploring the secret location of sword cultivation.
Of all people, Zhao Yu knew best about Han Muye’s strength.
Everyone in the hall looked at Zhao Yu again.
A faint suppression of spiritual power made Zhao Yu’s face pale.
He took a deep breath and looked around, saying, “Esteemed elders, the strength of Han Muye’s swordsmanship and his astonishing comprehension is beyond imagination.”
He recounted the journey to the secret location, mentioning the desolate star where it was located.
At this point, a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes. “When we stepped onto that star, it transformed from desolation to lushness, with illusory figures of cities and characters appearing.”
“Originally, we thought it was a formation arranged by the senior in the secret location, a kind of illusionary array.”
“But later on, I guessed that this might be Brother Han’s method.”
Zhao Yu lowered his voice and said, “I remember Brother Han telling his Dao Companion, Fairy Mu, that he wanted to show her the scenery.”
Throughout the journey, Han Muye indeed didn’t take the exploration of the secret location seriously.
There was no scenery on the dead star, so he used illusions to set up a scenery?
The Elders in the hall looked at each other.
“Minister Han of Tianxuan has already comprehended the Dao of Time.” Bai Yuming’s voice was solemn.
The Dao of Time!
The Dao of Time? The scenery he saw was all the glory from ten thousand years ago?
The sword technique of the Sword Venerable Yulu allowed one to comprehend its sword technique.
Even the Sword Venerable Yulu praised the power of the sword.
The branches that supported the sky covered the stars.
“Minister Han, Minister Han has a supreme treasure in his hand. It was this wooden branch that sealed the Immortal Ascension Platform back then!” Bai Yuming stared at Zhao Yu and raised his hand. A phantom appeared.
In the phantom, Han Muye stood in front of the huge tree that supported the sky. Sword Qi surrounded his body, and thousands of swords accompanied him.
Zhao Yu also raised his hand, and spiritual energy turned into a phantom. In Yulu City, Han Muye’s sword flew out, and 10,000 swords turned into streams of light.
“This is Prime Minister Han.”
“This is Brother Han.”
There are too many methods in the world to change one’s appearance.
Relying solely on the recognition of a figure’s illusion would make the cultivation world full of fraudsters.
At this moment, Zhao Yu and Bai Yuming recognized Han Muye’s combat strength and appearance. Only then did the two of them dare to confirm that Han Muye, who had appeared in the medicine valley, was the same person as Heavenly Mystic’s Minister Han.
Unparalleled talent, extraordinary comprehension, unmatched swordsmanship.
In the hall, everyone looked at the two phantoms and was speechless.
“Han Muye arrived in the Upper Three Heavens after the Dao Battle ended. What he planned…” A green-robed Daoist stared at the two phantoms and whispered.
The Heavenly Mystic World had the power to annex the Upper Heaven Region.
“No matter what, Han Muye and our Sword Pavilion are friends, not enemies,” said the old man sitting in the middle.
Elder Qi Yu, who was in charge of the eight-story Sword Pavilion and was currently the guardian elder of the Sword Pavilion, had a cultivation level at the Dao Ancestor realm.
This was the strongest expert of the Sword Pavilion at the moment, the stabilizer of the competition between the Sword Pavilion and the various factions in the Upper Heaven Region.
“The world has undergone great changes, the Upper Three Heavens has collapsed, and the powerful beings have ascended to the Immortal Realm. My cultivation and life span have already withered. I know that even if I pass the Immortal Ascension Platform, I will only die in the Spirit-Transformation Pool.” Qi Yu looked down, his eyes filled with a hint of regret.
“I voluntarily chose to stay in this realm because I want to protect the Sword Pavilion with my last years.”
“However, my cultivation and combat strength have already declined. If I were to encounter top-tier powerhouses in battle, I’m afraid I can only fight to the death.
“The Sword Pavilion will need you to protect it in the end.”
After Dao Ancestor Qi Yu finished speaking, the atmosphere in the great hall grew increasingly heavy.
The Sword Pavilion still looked powerful, but it lacked high-end combat strength.
Qi Yu, as a Dao Ancestor, could only intimidate others and no longer possessed the true power to suppress all factions.
If he died, the top experts of the Sword Pavilion would not be able to contend against other forces. They would lose their status as a sacred land of sword cultivation and the ability to compete against major sects like the Yuling Dao Sect and the other Upper Heaven Region sects.
“Senior Brother, I understand what you mean.” An elder beside Dao Ancestor Qi Yu nodded.
“The Heavenly Mystic and Minister Han have a deep relationship with our Sword Pavilion. Our Sword Pavilion will do our best to ally with them.
“Even if, one day, we have the support of the Heavenly Mystic and Han Muye as allies, the Sword Pavilion will still be a holy land.”
Even if Dao Ancestor Qi Yu died one day, the Sword Pavilion would not decline instantly.
Although his words were implicit, they were straightforward.
“Everyone, the Upper Heaven Region doesn’t seem to be in chaos yet, but there are already hidden waves surging.
“You’ve also seen the danger of the Medicine Valley.
“Although our Sword Pavilion is filled with sword cultivators who do things in a carefree manner, sometimes, we should have more plans.”
The expressions of everyone in the hall changed when the two elders in charge of the seven-story Sword Pavilion spoke.
Without the Sword Pavilion, even if their combat strength was powerful, it was impossible for them to have such resources in the Upper Heaven Region.
Only by protecting the Sword Pavilion could he protect everything in his hands.
“From what Yuming and Zhao Yu said, and from the rumors, Han Muye’s talent and Comprehension are excellent. He also has the experience of controlling a large faction.”
Qi Yu narrowed his eyes and said softly, “If necessary, we can invite him to the Sword Pavilion.”
“My Heaven Ascension Sword Pavilion has been ownerless for hundreds of thousands of years.”
