Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 215: Chapter 136: The Supreme Experts of the Inquiring Sword Pavilion, Classics_2

He narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling Taoist Longshan’s words from the past. ”So, what do you think of his strength now?”

This time, the Divine Feather Grand General hesitated. ”Being able to so easily slay the Heart Inquiry Sword at least places him in the top ten, but as for higher, I can’t be certain.”

The Flame Martial Grand General laughed: ”Let me tell you, even the Sun Chasing Sword King facing the Heart Inquiry Sword wouldn’t find it this easy.”

The Divine Feather Grand General was immediately invigorated.

This meant that, in the eyes of the Flame Martial Grand General, True Man Tianjian already had the qualifications to contend for the title of the world’s top swordsman, perhaps even considering him as the current top swordsman!

For these unparalleled experts on the Celestial Being List’s top ten, even the Divine Feather Grand General couldn’t fully grasp all the details, but there was no doubt when the Flame Martial Grand General said so.

He couldn’t help but exclaim: ”True Man Tianjian is actually this strong?”

The Flame Martial Grand General sighed: ”True Man Tianjian is no ordinary being, perhaps he is like a fish that can leap out of the lake.” ”People say his lifespan is almost depleted, yet they do not realize that those nearing their end often possess a courage and boldness unattainable to the ordinary man.”

He stood up, gazing at the lake, as if through its surface he could see the world’s state of affairs, the numerous conflicts. ”Now the Demon Sect is frequently active, even allying with the Southern Border, a time of much unrest, True Man Tianjian is an anomaly, such an existence is best tied to our Imperial Court’s chariot.”

The Divine Feather Grand General’s pupils shrank, but he couldn’t help but say: ”Grand General, the Demon Sect is nothing but a clown, at the critical moment the Martial Saint...”

Before he finished speaking, the Flame Martial Grand General glanced at him, sending waves of shock through his heart.

Did that mean... not even the Martial Saint’s action could be assured?

Is there something wrong with the Martial Saint, or do the Demon Sect and Southern Border have a method against the Martial Saint?

The Flame Martial Grand General said softly: ”No matter the reason True Man Tianjian is somewhat resistant to our Imperial Court, at least we can’t let him lean towards the Southern Border, fortunately now the Demon Sect and Southern Border seem hostile to the True Martial Sect, Divine Feather, go investigate this, and then station yourself in Qing State.”

The Divine Feather Grand General respectfully replied: ”Yes!”

He turned and left, but from just those few words, he already realized True Man Tianjian was far more powerful than he had imagined, and very important to the Imperial Court.

The Flame Martial Grand General gave a light sigh, turned to look in the direction of the Imperial Palace, and picked up his fishing rod again. ”I just hope you can wake up soon.” ...

Sunset Sword Sect.

Sword King Peak.

A boundless Sword Burial Land stretched out as far as the eye could see.

Figures waited respectfully outside. ”Ancestor, that’s the way it is; now people are saying that True Man Tianjian already possesses the qualification to challenge for the title of the world’s top swordsman, hmph, absolutely absurd, if it weren’t for you not acting for so long, there would be no room for True Man Tianjian to show off.” ”Even slaying the Heart Inquiry Sword, so what, how can he be compared to you, Ancestor?”

Unconvinced voices rose.

True Man Tianjian’s fame skyrocketed, many believed he already had the qualification to rank in the world’s top five, inevitably making comparisons with the Sun Chasing Sword King. Some staunch supporters of True Man Tianjian even felt that the Sun Chasing Sword King was no match for him, naturally irritating the people of the Sunset Sword Sect.

Before this.

Benefiting from the Sun Chasing Sword King’s suppression of the Sword Dao for one hundred and sixty years, the Sunset Sword Sect had gradually earned the title of the premier holy land of the Sword Dao, but now, undoubtedly, this title began to waver again. ”Especially with the True Martial Sect feigning generosity, opening up the True Martial Sword Monument and Tower of Ten Thousand Paths, it’s simply nonsensical, if one day their ultimate skills become known to the world, perhaps that will be the time of the True Martial Sect’s demise.”

No doubt about it.

This move by the True Martial Sect also irritated many sects in secret, since they were inevitably compared, appearing selfish and narrow-minded.

After everyone finished speaking, deep within the Sword Burial Land, there was sudden movement.

Layers upon layers of Sword Intent vibrated, converging into a grand voice: ”Do you wish for me to act?”

Detecting the anger in that voice, everyone hurriedly kowtowed in terror and trepidation. ”Ancestor, we dare not, we merely wish for the Sunset Sword Sect to firmly establish its position as the premier holy land of the Sword Dao!”

That grand voice, full of bitter disappointment: ”A bunch of worthless creatures!” ”How could the premier holy land of the Sword Dao be achieved by standing on others’ shoulders? A blacksmith needs their own strength; otherwise, even if one forcefully stands in that position, sooner or later, they will be pulled down! I’ve been in seclusion for years, how could the sect’s atmosphere become like this, this must be punished!”

Everyone was drenched in sweat, repeatedly pleading for forgiveness.

That voice finally calmed. ”True Man Tianjian? I never would have imagined in just a few decades, such an outstanding figure would emerge in the world. Gathering his own Sword Intent for the world to study, truly a remarkable method with great courage, I am ashamed, this world, it is indeed wonderful.”

Everyone was shocked.

Someone couldn’t help but ask: ”Ancestor, are you saying even you are not a match for True Man Tianjian...”

As he spoke, he was filled with trepidation.

The Sun Chasing Sword King’s voice was steady and serene: ”If it was before, perhaps not, but now, it’s still unclear who would win.” ”But perhaps what does it matter, remember, if one cares about trivial reputations, how can they climb to the peak of the Sword Dao? Even becoming the world’s top swordsman, what use is it, those of us who wield swords should aspire, once through the Sword Dao’s gate, naturally we must move towards that highest peak, without becoming a Sword Saint, one is merely an ant.”
