Lu Yun swept his gaze over the area and frowned when he saw countless figures hurrying in their direction.
"The commotion here is too great. Even the sword cultivators of Sword Catcher Peak have been alerted. I'll go down and guard him in case anything happens."
Protecting Su Zimo was only one of the reasons.
He was also worried that something would happen to Su Zimo during the process of being imbued with the power of the ultimate combat art. If that happened, Qinglian's bloodline would be exposed.
This was a matter of great importance, so much so that he had to report it to the Myriad Swords Palace's Great Emperors!
The eight peak lords leapt down from Sword Catcher Peak at the same time and surrounded Su Zimo in the blink of an eye. They continuously deployed their arts and formed an impenetrable barrier of sword qi around him.
Not only could no living being barge in, but even the eyes and consciousness of bystanders couldn't penetrate the barrier!
Su Zimo was in the midst of being baptized by Ultus, but he remained clear-headed and could still sense the commotion around him.
Su Zimo frowned slightly when he saw the eight peak lords appear at the same time.
Why would the eight peak lords be alarmed just because he'd comprehended a supreme combat art?
That didn't make sense.
Thankfully, his spiritual perception hadn't warned him and the eight peak lords didn't seem to be hostile toward him. Su Zimo didn't act rashly either.
"If my guess is right, young friend Su Zhu's bloodline should be that of the twelfth rank Fortune realm Qinglian."
Right then, Lu Yun's voice sounded in Su Zimo's ears.
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat.
He'd indeed lost some blood just now, but it was difficult for others to determine that he was Qinglian based on the blood on his body.
After all, Qinglian's bloodline didn't have any special aura and didn't look any different.
Su Zimo didn't know what had gone wrong.
He also couldn't predict what kind of change would occur in the Sword World if a twelfth rank Fortune realm Qinglian was exposed.
In truth, Su Zimo had a very good impression of the Sword World after three years of interaction.
The sword cultivators of the world were straightforward and upright. Even when dealing with an outsider like him, they always treated him with respect.
Even when people came to challenge him in the beginning, they always adhered to the principle of fair competition.
However, Qinglian was the only one in the world, not to mention that she had already grown to her peak state.
How many people could remain unmoved by such a treasure?
While Su Zimo was lost in thought, Lu Yun's voice sounded again. "Don't worry, young friend Su Zhu. The eight of us mean you no harm. You can cultivate without worry."
"Exactly."
The Peak Master of the Ultimate Sword Peak also said, "Creation Qinglian has a deep fate with our Sword World. We won't harm you on account of the Immortal Slayer Emperor."
Were the two Peak Masters sincere?
In addition, his spiritual perception did not give him any warning, so Su Zimo gradually relaxed.
Judging from the current situation, what if the eight Peak Masters really wanted to harm him?
Since he had no chance to escape, why not just cultivate in peace?
First, he would take control of the Immortal Exterminating Sword and complete the transformation.
…
Wang Tong and the other swordsmen had arrived at the back of the Sword Slaying Peak?
Seeing the eight Peak Masters guarding a Sword Qi barrier at first glance?
What was the situation inside?
No one else could see it.
"What's going on?"
Wang Tong asked in a low voice. "Which sword cultivator comprehended Immortal Eradication?"
Were they late?
Those who'd been at the foot of the Sword Slaying Peak at the beginning should know what was going on.
A sword cultivator said, "Junior Sister Darknorth's master?
Daoist Su Zhu? "
Su Zhu!
Wang Dong and the group of sword cultivators who came later were shocked when they heard this name.
They'd guessed a few names on their way here.
No one had expected it to be Su Zhu who'd comprehended Immortal Eradication!
"Is it really Su Zhu?"
One of the swordsmen still found it hard to believe.
"Indeed."
Another responded, "Was it the Peak Master who brought Su Zhu here?
Su Zhu spent ten hours at the foot of the Sword Slaying Peak?
He directly comprehended a peerless combat art! "
Ten hours?!
Wang Tong and the others clicked their tongues.
Sword cultivators like them couldn't even last two hours at the foot of the Sword Slaying Peak.
"What's going on now?"
Wang Tong looked at the eight Peak Masters nearby and asked in a low voice, "Daoist Su Zhu comprehended Immortal Eradication. Why are the eight Peak Masters here to protect him?"
Half a year ago, he was the only Peak Master who'd appeared when Kitsune attracted her nine-by-nine heavenly tribulation.
The fact that Su Zhu had comprehended Immortal Eradication was shocking enough, but he was still an outsider. Why would the eight Peak Masters show up in person to protect him?
"I'm not sure either," said a sword cultivator.
"Su Zhu was receiving the baptism of a peerless combat art and was slightly injured. The eight Peak Masters showed up not long after."
Many of the sword cultivators found it strange, but didn't think too much of it. They assumed that Su Zhu's sudden comprehension of Immortal Eradication had attracted the attention of the eight Peak Masters.
"It looks like Daoist Su Zhu will be joining our sect from now on."
Wang Tong smiled as if he'd seen through the eight Peak Masters' intentions.
Daybreak arrived.
Su Zimo had just completed the baptism of a peerless combat art. His essence, spirit, and spirit had risen to a whole new level.
He'd just broken through to the celestial realm, and the baptism of the peerless combat art had increased his cultivation to the point where it was comparable to a thousand years of cultivation!
"Thank you for your protection, seniors."
Su Zimo cupped his hands in thanks to the eight Peak Masters.
Lu Yun smiled. "Since you're the bearer of Qinglian's bloodline, you can rest assured that we'll do our best to protect you in the Sword World.
"Among the three thousand worlds, the Sword World is a super major world. Although it's not as large as the world of celestials, it's not far behind in terms of strength.
"Even if that so-called Patriarch of the Academy divines that you're here, he won't dare cause trouble in the Sword World!"
Lu Yun's words filled Su Zimo with a trace of warmth that he hadn't felt in a long time.
Ever since his ascension, he'd been constantly on edge and hunted down everywhere. Even after joining the Cosmos Academy, he hadn't been able to escape danger.
Only now did Su Zimo feel slightly at ease.
"Senior, what's this super major world you're talking about?"
Su Zimo asked.
Lu Yun explained, "In a medium world, the strength of a world has little to do with its territory. As long as there are more than ten Imperial Emperors, it's considered a super major world!
"For example, the celestial world, our Sword World, Dragon World, Light World, Great Desolation World, and some other ancient worlds are included.
"If there are more than one Imperial Emperor but less than ten, it can only be considered a high-class world. If there's only one Imperial Emperor, it can be considered a mid-class world.
"Of course, there are some worlds that don't even have an Imperial Emperor overseeing them. Their overall strength is on the lower side.
After a pause, Lu Yun continued, "Su Zhu, follow us to the Myriad Sword Palace."
"The Myriad Sword Palace?"
Su Zimo hesitated for a moment. "That's the core of the Sword World. Only true disciples of the Sword World can go there. After all, I'm just an outsider …"
The Ultimate Sword Peak Master smiled. "You have Qinglian's bloodline and have comprehended the Immortal Slaying Sword. No matter how I look at it, you're not an outsider."
"Why are we going to the Myriad Sword Palace?"
Su Zimo asked again.
"The fact that you've comprehended the Immortal Slaying Sword is proof of your talent in sword dao. Kitsune is meditating in front of the Myriad Sword Palace's Exalted Sword Stele. You should go take a look as well."
