Jianchen was stunned by the Celestial Sword Saint's reply. He was not surprised that he could not become the Celestial Sword Saint's disciple. What truly surprised him was that there were actually two other people who had made it through the Path of Swords before him.
Jianchen understood just how difficult the tests of the Path of Swords were. In particular, he was greatly affected by the final test of mental fortitude. He did not even know whether he had made it through successfully or not.
This was more than enough to demonstrate just how extraordinary the other two people were. Their talent was no less than Jianchen's.
"Senior Sword Saint, may I ask just how much talent is required to catch senior Sword Saint's attention?" Jianchen asked.
"It's not a matter of talent. You and the other two people who made it through the Path of Swords all possess extremely great talent. Even with the entire Saints' World in perspective, there are only a handful of people with unprecedented talent like you. As for why you're not suitable to become Old Man's disciple, it's because you failed the final test of mental fortitude. You're not suitable to become Old Man's successor, "the Celestial Sword Saint said slowly. His voice was old but powerful.
Jianchen's heart suddenly sank. He asked, "Senior Sword Saint, does senior know about the illusion we went through at the end?"
"It's not an illusion. It's a test of mental fortitude, or you can call it a test of inner demons. All people with firm wills will have a rock-solid heart when they make it through the test of mental fortitude. They won't be affected at all. As for you, your emotions fluctuated too violently when you made it through the test of mental fortitude, so you're not the person I'm looking for, "said the Celestial Sword Saint.
"I see." Jianchen was relieved. At the very least, he was certain that the Celestial Sword Saint did not know about everything he went through in the illusion. Instead, the Celestial Sword Saint used the fluctuations in his mind to determine whether he had passed or not.
"Since I'm not suitable to become senior Sword Saint's disciple, I obviously won't force you. However, senior Sword Saint, can you let me stay here for three years? I will leave after three years. Of course, this Junior is not without repayment. As a reward, this Junior will present this item to Senior Sword Sage! "As he spoke, Jianchen had already taken out a jade box.
"With the Old Man's cultivation, there are very few supreme treasures in the entire universe that can catch the Old Man's eye. What can a puny Divine King like you take out? Only a Chaotic Treasure like the fortune jade can tempt Old Man. "The Celestial Sword Saint had no idea how to react.
"Although I don't know what kind of treasure senior Sword Saint is talking about, the item in my hand is quite extraordinary," Jianchen opened the wooden box as he said that. Immediately, a heavenly resource appeared.
The heavenly resources were of extremely low quality. Even regular Divine King experts would not be interested in heavenly resources of such a level, let alone the Celestial Sword Saint.
"Hmm?" However, the Celestial Sword Saint cried out in surprise. In the next moment, the heavenly resource in Jianchen's hand vanished and appeared before the Celestial Sword Saint.
"It's actually Xuanhuang Qi. It looks like you've found the Xuanhuang Microcosm!" The Celestial Sword Saint said calmly. He was emotionless as if even the Xuanhuang Microcosm was unable to affect him at all.
"The Xuanhuang Microcosm is hidden in a hidden place in the lower world. Moreover, it's an unexplored, extremely high level Xuanhuang Microcosm. I'm willing to exchange the information there for it," Jian Chen said. He had only explored the outskirts of the Xuanhuang Microcosm when he was in the sea realm. In reality, there was another world within the Xuanhuang Microcosm.
If the Xuanhuang Microcosm outside the world was a mortal world, then the world within the world was the Immortals' World.
In the past, Jianchen only moved about in the outskirts of the Xuanhuang Microcosm due to his limited strength. He did not enter the world.
If the treasures of heaven and earth outside the domain were considered ordinary items, then all the species within the domain were considered immortal items. They were truly high-grade treasures.
"A Xuanhuang Microcosm is indeed extremely rare. If it was a Xuanhuang Microcosm with a world, it would be enough to make many Grand Primes go crazy. Unfortunately, it's still completely useless to Old Man, "the Celestial Sword Saint said calmly. The Celestial Sword Saint said calmly. His old eyes were emotionless as he handed the heavenly resource back to Jian Chen. He was not tempted at all.
Jianchen was stunned. Was the Celestial Sword Saint really an otherworldly expert? He was unaffected by anything else, where even a Xuanhuang Microcosm with a world was unable to tempt him.
Jianchen was troubled now. There were many peak experts waiting for him outside. Once he left the Celestial Sword Saint's territory, it would be impossible for him to escape their pursuit. The Celestial Sword Saint's territory was the only safe place he could think of right now.
Although he knew about a cavern hidden deep beneath the Desolate Plane, he was currently being watched closely by so many peak experts. Once he really went there, would he not be inviting trouble to himself?
"However, for the sake of the Empyrean Demon Lord, the Old Man can let you stay here for three years, but that's only three years. You can leave after that," at this moment, the Celestial Sword Saint's voice rang out.
"The Empyrean Demon Lord?" Jianchen became doubtful when he heard that. Even now, he still did not know that Mo Tianyun was the Empyrean Demon Lord. After all, when he helped Mo Tianyun get out of the formation and save his trapped original body, he suffered a backlash from the Chaotic Force and entered a life-or-death situation. He had lost all sense of the outside world, so he did not hear the Saint of Grand Harmony's furious bellows.
"The Empyrean Demon Lord is the person who gave you the mask. He's the great elder of the Heavenly Demon Religion," the Celestial Sword Saint said. The Celestial Sword Saint's voice rang out, and with a wave of his hand, Jian Chen immediately felt his surroundings change. He had been sent to a gloomy cave by an irresistible force.
"The great elder of the Heavenly Demon Religion is actually senior Mo Tianyun!" However, Jianchen did not seem to sense anything at all. He stood in the gloomy cavern as his head was in a mess.
He had heard far too many rumours about the legendary great elder of the Heavenly Demon Religion, but he had never thought that the great elder of the Heavenly Demon Religion would actually be the legendary figure of the Tian Yuan Continent in the past, Mo Tianyun.
…
Within the city of the Daohuang Empire that had already been reduced to ruins, numerous experts that had vanished earlier had gathered once more around the Path of Swords that shot into the sky. All of them stared at the end of the Path of Swords with unsightly expressions.
"Jianchen has actually vanished from the Path of Swords. Has he passed the Celestial Sword Saint's test and been accepted as a disciple?"
"Impossible, this is impossible …"
"Let's go. Let's go to where the Celestial Sword Saint cultivates and understand the situation …"
