Chapter 91: Return of 10,000 Swords to the Sect!
Compared to the ancient pressure and mysteriousness of the Seven Stars Ancient Divine Sword, this treasured sword was filled with a peaceful aura. It was as if it was here to protect everyone, stop the killing, and allow people to search for the essence of their body and soul.
Even the hilt of the sword was engraved with a lotus flower that was about to bloom. It was lifelike, as if it would slowly bloom in the next second.
“It’s rumored that there was a venerable who liked to wear purple clothes. In addition, he saved people with the help of the World Overhanging Jar. He had a compassionate heart and was known as the Purple-robed Bodhisattva. His treasured sword was even forged from Purple Spirit Immortal Crystals. Could this sword inf front of us be his sword?”
At that time, there were many outstanding people. It could be said that all the Heaven’s Favorites appeared out of nowhere and competed with each other. The most dazzling one among them was the Emperor. However, this did not mean that the others were overshadowed.
Although they were under the radiance of the Emperor, they still possessed extraordinary strength. They could be said to be the eternally-shining stars. Any one of them could be said to be invincible in this world. It was a pity that they would never see such a prosperous era again.
One after another, Divine Swords appeared. Everyone thought that it would finally be over. However, it was only the beginning.
The lights lit up again, and everyone’s expressions were already stiff.
“Who is this Gu Xi?! He actually triggered the divine weapons to appear one after another!”
Looking at the piece of black iron in his hand, they did not know if it was their misconception, but the black ink on it seemed to have faded a little.
“Chaos Sword!”
“Void-shattering Sword!”
“Nine Clouds Divine Sword!”
“Dragon Roar Sky-shaking Sword!”
...
The lights on the Sword Mountain lit up one after another until the crowd was almost numb to it. They even guessed that if the Sword Mountain did not light up, then there would be a problem.
All kinds of Godly swords surrounded Gu Xi like stars surrounding the moon. They all came from the depths of the Sword Mountain, and one could know a thing or two just by looking at the places where the lights lit up.
Moreover, the aura that was emitted from his body also made everyone tremble in fear. This was something that could not be faked. Just from the names of the swords alone made people’s imaginations run wild. They racked their brains, trying to figure out what kind of weapon Gu Xi was refining.
However, no matter how they looked at it, it was still an ordinary black iron sword.
Other than that, there were many other things that they could not name. Presumably, they must have an even greater background. Everyone did not even dare to think about it as they looked at the increasing number of swords around them.
It was as if they were in a sea of swords. Just looking at the densely packed number of swords was enough to make one feel apprehensive, not to mention the sword aura that was so overwhelming that it was almost suffocating. Some of them were even more powerful and retained some of their ferocity, spreading anxiety throughout the arena.
Moreover, the closer they got to Gu Xi, the more powerful the aura emitted by the swords became. Some of the swords that came from behind even used their strength to knock away the swords in front of them and then occupied their own positions.
A golden light flashed, and there was a sword surrounded by golden dragons. Perhaps it had come too late, and there was no space in front of it, so it circled in the air.
Finally, it landed next to the green sword. It was also a divine weapon, but it did not focus on killing. Moreover, due to the water attribute, it could not compete with the sword with golden dragons. In the end, it was squeezed to the side and was forced to give up its position.
The sword was obviously a dead object, but everyone felt a sense of grievance.
They finally understood why the swords from the Sword Mountain did not choose to settle down next to Gu Xi in the beginning. Instead, they left such a large space. It seemed that they were prepared for the arrival of the Divine Swords that came later.
They would be knocked away sooner or later anyway, so they might as well be tactful.
Everyone was surprised and confused. They said with a complicated expression, “Could it be that these swords have turned into spirits and have gained consciousness?”
“I’m afraid that all the swords in the Sword Mountain are here.”
Before they could recover from their shock, Gu Xi finally made a move. The black iron pieces on the sword fell off, inch by inch, and finally, it revealed its true colors.
It was actually a sword within a sword!
No wonder they had not noticed the clues earlier.
The jade-like light flickered, but there was a streak of white that stood in the center of the sword. It looked abrupt, but it was perfectly fused together. It was like the yin and yang of Heaven and Earth, but it also represented the Great Dao of the world. It was natural and flawless.
When everyone saw this, their hearts almost hung in their throats. They did not even dare to breathe loudly.
“This, this, this...”
A golden light shot up from the ground, and a rainbow shot through the sky. The sun, moon, stars, Tai Chi eight trigrams, Sea of Bitterness, Green Lotus, Nine-layered Immortal Palace, the Netherworld, and all sorts of strange phenomena appeared. In short, any phenomena that one could think of seemed to have appeared here.
They completely overshadowed the previous phenomena of Bai Haoyu and Ou Yechen. They were no different from children playing house.
Along with it came an inexplicable and ancient power. When they saw the sword, everyone was terrified. Words could not describe the shock in their hearts.
Everyone was in a trance. It was as if they had traveled hundreds of millions of years ago, or as if they were traveling through the universe. Only they knew what it was like.
“To be able to see such a scene, I have no regrets in my life!”
The power of the Divine Sword was extremely difficult to resist, and they could not stare at it for a long time. However, there were still people who endured great pressure and did not give up even when their eyes were bloodshot. After all, such an opportunity was rare.
“I didn’t expect to see such a scene in my life.”
“Ah! My sword!”
Along with the exclamations, even the spectators’ swords rushed towards Gu Xi one after another. Unfortunately, he was already surrounded and the swords could not pass through.
Even if the swords wanted to get close to Gu Xi, they were not qualified to do so based on the aptitude of these Spirit Swords. They could only occupy the outermost positions.
Everyone was even more shocked in their hearts. It must be known that these were their swords, and they had absolute control over them. They were also unlike the swords of the Sword Mountain, which had no owner.
However, they were still affected, and even their previous suppression did not have any effect.
“Just what in the world is he refining? He’s actually able to trigger the Return of 10,000 Swords to the Sect!”
