Immortal of the Nine Realms

The crowd was surprised, and they whispered among themselves for a while before realizing who this new face was.

It turned out that this person was the true sword leader appointed by the Void Immortal Sword Sect!

Fang Chen appeared in the various Heaven Profound Mirrors. In places like Celestial Heaven and Northern Dipper, people were merely watching the spectacle and discussing his background.

However, the people watching from the Central Continent were astonished to see him, even rubbing their eyes in disbelief.

Back at the Three Thousand Dao Sect, Li Daoye stood with a group of people in the sect leader’s hall, looking at the scenes in the mirrors. Their expression were filled with excitement and surprise.

”It’s Ancestor Fang!!”

Fang Zhixue looked bewildered. ”Really... Big Brother... Why does he still look so young? He seems even younger than before....”

She had already heard many stories of Fang Chen’s experiences in the Central Continent from Li Daoye. It was because of this that she had been paying close attention to the Void Immortal Sword Sect’s Sword Questioning. She never expected to see Fang Chen appear in the mirror.

Li Daoye grinned. ”It’s settled, everyone. This time the Void Immortal Sword Sect’s Sword Questioning is secured. I know Fang—the Ancestor best. He won’t fight a battle he isn’t confident about!”

At the Void Immortal Sword Sect, all the peaks were gathered around the Heaven Profound Mirror. Initially, they had been grinding their teeth in anger over the shameful actions of the Qiankun Sword Sect. Now, however, they had been stunned into silence, looking at each other in disbelief.

Someone exclaimed, ”Is that Fang Chen? I’m not seeing things, right? Our sword leader has condensed his Nascent Soul?!”

”You’re not seeing things. He’s condensed his Nascent Soul, which means he can now participate in the Sword Questioning. Qin Hucheng can finally take a break.”

”So... does this mean... the Void Immortal Sword Sect is safe this time?”

At that moment, someone’s deep voice rang out, ”Naturally, it’s safe.”

Everyone turned to look, only to see a figure standing with his back to them, hands behind his back. His head was tilted at a 45-degree angle, gazing at the scenes in the mirror. ”Amongst the same rank, Sword Leader Fang probably has no rival even in the Kunlun Sword Sect. This time, all the sword sects will have nothing to say. Our Void Immortal Sword Sect will settle scores and avenge grievances.”

The crowd grew even more excited.

Settle scores and avenge grievances!

Various immortal manors and immortal courts were all watching this battle. Many of them even had past interactions with Fang Chen. A once-failed genius, who had now successfully condensed his Nascent Soul, was an unexpected turn of events for many factions.

On Qiankun Island, the Falling Whale King couldn’t help but find Fang Chen familiar. After pausing and scrutinizing his face for a moment, her face suddenly fell.

The Green-Headed Sea Turtle stretched its neck and stared for a long time, then suddenly gasped, exclaiming, ”It’s that guy!”

Zuo Xu sighed softly. ”The Void Immortal Sword Sect still had a trump card. It seems they intentionally used this method to temper Qin Hucheng, pushing him to comprehend the Death Sword Intent.”

After speaking, he glanced at the pale Falling Whale King and smiled lightly. ”What’s wrong?”

The Falling Whale King’s expression changed slightly. After thinking for a moment, she decided to tell him the truth and transmitted the details through sound transmission.

Zuo Xu chuckled. ”It’s just a small matter, a misunderstanding. Since he’s fine now, he won’t trouble you. If necessary, I can step forward and clear things up. No need to worry.”

Falling Whale King let out a sigh of relief. She deeply understood the background and origins of Zuo Xu. Since he had assured her that there was no problem, she no longer needed to worry about Fang Chen causing trouble later.

She couldn’t help but feel awed, thinking, I never expected him to be the Void Immortal Sword Sect’s sword leader....

Wang Zhenlong observed Fang Chen for a while, then nodded. ”You’ve returned? Has the process of condensing your Nascent Soul gone smoothly?”

Fang Chen replied, ”There were some unexpected difficulties, but I’ve gained something from them. I am now at the grand completion stage of Nascent Soul Realm.”

He just condensed his Nascent Soul yet he’s already at the grand completion?!

The people from Immortal Courts and Immortal Manors were stunned.

What kind of incredible opportunity must he have encountered to experience such an extraordinary turn of events?

Jing Yuehan’s expression was complex. ”Grand completion stage of Nascent Soul realm...”

More than fifty years had passed since that even in Grand Xia, yet she still remained in the Golden Core Realm.

She recalled the time when she had taken Fairy Yu back to the Void Immortal Sword Sect after the emergence of the spiritual marrow in Grand Xia. Back then, Fang Chen had been only a Qi Refining Realm cultivator. Yet, in less than a hundred years, the once ordinary Qi Refining Realm cultivator had reached the grand completion stage of Nascent Soul Realm—the peak of the Lower Four Realms.

With one more step, he would reach the fabled Middle Three Realms.

Wang Zhenlong finally smiled, heavily patting Fang Chen on the shoulder. ”Good.”

He turned toward the Profound Immortal sword cultivator of the Qiankun Sword Sect and said, ”Chang Fu, our Void Immortal Sword Sect’s true sword leader has returned. The Sword Questioning will naturally continue with him. Bring out all your grand completion stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.”

The Profound Immortal sword cultivator of the Qiankun Sword Sect frowned slightly, then nodded lightly. He instructed his subordinates to summon all those in the same cultivation level.

The cultivator from the Kunlun Sword Sect stared at Fang Chen for a while and a faint, almost imperceptible smile gradually appeared on his face. He then casually said, ”It is said that your sword is so powerful that ordinary people cannot even look at it, as doing so would drain their lifespan. Is this true?”

Fang Chen smiled and replied, ”Senior, since it’s just a rumor, its truth is up to you to ascertain. I cannot say for certain.”

”Is that so? Well then, I’ll have to see for myself.”

The Kunlun cultivator chuckled lightly and stopped speaking.

Qin Hucheng walked up to Fang Chen’s side and said, ”Junior Brother Fang, from here on, it’s up to you.”

Fang Chen nodded. ”Senior Brother need not worry.”

Qin Hucheng then returned to the group and sat cross-legged on the ground, silently meditating to recover from his injuries.

After a short while, a group of over a hundred sword cultivators arrived, each one a grand completion stage Nascent Soul Realm from Qiankun Sword Sect.

The others exchanged looks, and it was clear that they had already begun to suspect what was about to happen. It seemed that Fang Chen, the sword leader, would face the same situation as Qin Hucheng.

Today... he might not be able to leave Qiankun Island.

No matter how powerful a sword cultivator was, could they really defeat over a hundred peers of the same level in a row?

From everyone’s perspective, the likelihood of this happening was extremely low.

As a grand completion stage Nascent Soul from the Qiankun Sword Sect stepped forward, all eyes turned to the two of them.

Someone muttered, ”Qiankun Sword Sect’s—”

”I do not need to know your name,” Fang Chen calmly interrupted. ”Today, I’m doing the Sword Questioning, and it is the Path of the Broken Sword.”

The Qiankun cultivator’s expression slightly changed, a trace of faint anger flashing in his eyes.

Sword cultivators from all around narrowed their eyes, trying to decipher the meaning of ”Path of the Broken Sword.”

The Qiankun Sword Sect’s grand completion stage Nascent Soul Realm coldly said, ”Then make your move.”

Immediately, a flash of swordlight flickered.

The cultivator’s head tumbled to the ground. The sword shattered his Nascent Soul, not even giving him time to escape.

Fang Chen declared, ”Today, I broke the first sword of the Qiankun Sword Sect. Next!”

His indifferent voice echoed in the ears of the onlookers, pulling them out of their daze.

Just now... that sword strike?

The people watching couldn’t even catch the technique.

He... beheaded a grand completion stage Nascent Soul cultivator... just like that?

The Qiankun Sword Sect cultivators looked at Fang Chen with shock, their eyes filling with killing intent.

The smile on the face of the Profound Immortal sword cultivator gradually faded. He indifferently said, ”Must you kill?”
