Cultivation: I Signed in with the Talent of an Immortal at the Start

Chapter 294: Sword Discussion the Deterrent Power of Daluo Sword Dao

Time flew by, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, a figure, not particularly tall, silently appeared outside Lingxu Heavenly Palace—it was Sword Venerable Tiancan.

He did not release any pressure, but merely by standing there, the Sword Dao Law naturally circulating around him caused the surrounding space to subtly twist.

“It’s Sword Venerable Tiancan!”

“He actually came!”

“Quick! Report to all the Chief Elders immediately!”

The Disciples guarding the passage were the first to notice the anomaly, and exclamations immediately rose one after another.

The news spread like a hurricane throughout the entire Lingxu Heavenly Palace, causing a huge sensation.

Countless Disciples and Elders all cast their gazes towards the mountain gate, their hearts filled with shock.

A moment later, several powerful auras rose from the depths of the Heavenly Palace’s Sword Lineage.

Led by Immortal Reverence Yuxuan, several Sword Lineage Elders came forward to greet him.

They had actually anticipated Sword Venerable Tiancan’s arrival.

Although Immortal Reverence Yuxuan was displeased, he maintained a calm expression on the surface, stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, “Senior Tiancan, it is an honor to have you grace us with your presence. We failed to greet you properly. May I ask what advice you have for us?”

“I wouldn’t dare offer advice,” Sword Venerable Tiancan said, a seemingly gentle but subtly sharp smile appearing on his face.

“I heard that Fellow Daoist Yuxuan’s Supreme Heaven Sword Dao has inherited three-tenths of the true legacy of Extremity Heaven Sword Ancestor, displaying myriad phenomena. I admire it greatly and have come specifically to seek guidance, hoping to verify what I have learned and explore the Zenith Sky of the Sword Dao together.”

Upon hearing this, Immortal Reverence Yuxuan frowned.

As expected, the visitor had ill intentions.

They had already received news that this Sword Venerable Tiancan had joined the Demon Court and become a Guest Elder of the Demon Court.

The Demon Court was currently at war with Lingxu Heavenly Palace and many other forces.

Although the Immortal Dao Alliance’s restrictions prevented the direct intervention of existences above the Golden Immortal Realm, undercurrents were surging.

Sword Venerable Tiancan’s visit, ostensibly for a sword discussion, was actually to suppress the morale of Lingxu Heavenly Palace.

His intentions were clear.

The atmosphere in the arena instantly became taut like a bowstring.

Immortal Reverence Yuxuan’s Sword Intent, though contained, was ready to erupt.

He calmly said, “Since Senior has such an elegant interest, Yuxuan will naturally accompany you.”

Ordinary Disciples were unaware of the details of their exchange.

They only knew that two renowned Sword Dao Grand Powers might truly be about to determine a victor.

This scene was also witnessed by Han Xuanji.

“What a grand display,” Han Xuanji muttered to himself.

He had a rough idea of Sword Venerable Tiancan’s objective.

It seemed the other party was quite confident; this posture was clearly intended to humiliate Lingxu Heavenly Palace.

Li Taiqing and the others couldn’t help but ask, “Master, aren’t you going to watch?”

“I can see everything clearly from here. You all go out and watch,” Han Xuanji replied casually.

At this Realm, it was easy to determine a victor but very difficult to determine life or death.

Although Sword Venerable Tiancan was arrogant, he wasn’t foolish.

He knew that Lingxu Heavenly Palace had a profound foundation, and it wasn’t something he, a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal, could suppress.

However, the rewards offered by the Demon Court were very tempting, promising him an Opportunity to reach the Great Luo Realm.

This operation was also a declaration of loyalty.

Coming for a sword discussion, it was naturally impossible to fight to the death; it was more of a probe.

He really wanted to say that they probably wouldn’t understand the duel between these two.

But then he thought that they possessed great Luck and extraordinary Comprehension Ability, so perhaps it would indeed be useful.

“Yes,” the group quickly replied in unison, planning to go together to observe this Taiyi Golden Immortal-level Sword Dao duel.

At this moment, many Disciples gathered, discussing animatedly.

“It is said that Sword Venerable Tiancan is not far from the Great Luo Realm, and is known as the number one Sword Immortal below the Great Luo.”

“Ah? If that’s true, then wouldn’t Chief Elder not have much chance of winning?”

“It’s hard to say. Chief Elder cultivates the Great Luo Sword Dao; he’s not just famous for nothing.”

Even the Sword Lineage Disciples were worried.

As Sword Lineage Disciples, their honor and disgrace were intertwined with Immortal Reverence Yuxuan, so they naturally did not want to see Immortal Reverence Yuxuan defeated.

As Han Xuanji had thought, the sword discussion between Sword Venerable Tiancan and Immortal Reverence Yuxuan was not grand and earth-shattering.

The two stood above the sea of clouds, using their fingers as swords and their Sword Intent as weapons.

There was no clash of metal, no energy surge, only the silent collision and annihilation of two Sword Intents in the Void Realm.

But that level of confrontation was more perilous than any earth-shattering battle.

Most of the onlookers from afar did not understand.

However, as time passed, some strong individuals gradually discerned some clues.

Immortal Reverence Yuxuan’s Sword Intent was incomparably pure; his True Intent of Annihilation and Slaughter had reached the Transcendent Realm.

However, Sword Venerable Tiancan had, after all, cultivated for a longer period.

His magical power was profound, and his cultivation was deep, not at all inferior, and even subtly surpassing Immortal Reverence Yuxuan.

With one rising and the other falling, the difference in their abilities gradually became clear.

After another fierce collision of Sword Intent, a large area of the sea of clouds was cleared.

Sword Venerable Tiancan retracted his finger and stood, his sharp Sword Intent slowly receding, making him appear even more at ease.

He slowly opened his mouth and said, “Fellow Daoist Yuxuan’s Sword Dao is profound, and the Supreme Heaven Sword Dao fills me with admiration.”

“However, if we were to fight to the death, relying on cultivation, within a hundred moves, I would be half a step ahead of you.”

As soon as these words were spoken, a clamor immediately erupted among the crowd watching from afar.

Sword Venerable Tiancan looked deeply at Immortal Reverence Yuxuan, a trace of complexity flashing in his eyes.

His objective for this trip had been achieved, proving his own strength, but he had also offended many forces of the Human Race.

But he did not regret it.

After all, that was a Great Luo Opportunity!

Just as Sword Venerable Tiancan was pondering in his heart, an invisible Sword Intent suddenly erupted within his mind.

The smile on Sword Venerable Tiancan’s face abruptly froze.

In his perception, a vast Sword Dao Will, like a sea of stars, descending from the sky, a will that surpassed his own.

The other party did not cause him any harm, but this was enough!

Sword Venerable Tiancan felt a chill in his Divine Soul, as if he had been gazed upon by an unimaginable, supreme existence.

His originally surging Sword Intent instantly froze, and his confidence and arrogance were almost completely gone in that single glance!

“This is… Great Luo Sword Intent? Does Lingxu Heavenly Palace… actually have a Great Luo of the Sword Dao secretly observing this matter?”

Turbulent waves surged in Sword Venerable Tiancan’s heart, and the look of horror was almost impossible to conceal.

He naturally knew that Extremity Heaven Sword Ancestor was an Old Ancestor of the Li family, and Lingxu Heavenly Palace ostensibly had no Great Luo of the Sword Dao presiding over it, which was why he dared to come.

But that wisp of Will just now was clearly a genuine Great Luo-level Sword Dao pressure!

His actions today had already attracted the attention of this existence, and even… displeasure!

The thought of possibly offending a Great Luo of the Sword Dao instantly drenched Sword Venerable Tiancan’s back in cold sweat.

Although he was strong, before a Great Luo, how was he different from an ant?

“Hmm?” Immortal Reverence Yuxuan keenly noticed Sword Venerable Tiancan’s abnormality; that instantly dissipated Sword Intent and unconcealable panic were definitely not faked.

The several Sword Lineage Elders who noticed this scene also looked at each other, puzzled.
