Gongsun Sheng's insistence on inviting him at all costs made Nie Tian cautious.
Gongsun Sheng was able to become the Divine Sword Master and suppress someone like Xuan Zangfeng. This was enough to show that he was not an ordinary person.
Nie Tian didn't believe that Gongsun Sheng was willing to pay such a high price to invite him only because of his talent.
Nie Tian had shown his amazing talent a long time ago. Gongsun Sheng's invitation was a bit late.
Nie Tian thought that Gongsun Sheng might have something to ask of him.
"Divine Sword Master, I shouldn't refuse you since you value me so much. But I'm not used to being restricted by others. So, let's talk about joining the Shenwu Sword Pagoda later, "Nie Tian said after thinking for a while.
"I won't restrict you!" Gongsun Sheng was a bit anxious. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Nie Tian, if you join the Shenwu Sword Pagoda, no one will restrict you. You can come and go as you please. Even I won't force you to do anything."
Nie Tian frowned. The doubt in his eyes grew heavier.
The more Gongsun Sheng acted like this, the more alert he was.
There was no free lunch in this world. Nie Tian knew this better than anyone else.
Guiwu Kuang Sha's expression slowly changed. He originally thought that Gongsun Sheng was only interested in Nie Tian's talent, so he wanted to invite Nie Tian to join the Shenwu Sword Pagoda.
However, looking at Gongsun Sheng's anxious expression, this matter was clearly not as simple as it seemed.
Guiwu Kuang Sha and Gongsun Sheng had known each other for many years.
Gongsun Sheng was not an evil person, but he was definitely not a good person either. He must have something to ask of Nie Tian if he gave such a good offer.
But Guiwu Kuang Sha did not understand. With Gongsun Sheng's identity, how could he ask Nie Tian for help?
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Nie Tian's mouth, and he said, "Lord Divine Sword Master, you and I are both smart people. Sometimes, it's better to talk about things openly."
Gongsun Sheng went blank for a moment. Apparently, he didn't expect Nie Tian to be so straightforward. In the next moment, an embarrassed expression appeared on his face. He forced a smile, cleared his throat, and said, "Nie Tian, my young friend, I do need your help with something."
Nie Tian laughed. He had guessed right. Gongsun Shengji, the old fox, did have something to ask of him.
Gongsun Shengji was an old eccentric who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years. Nie Tian was very curious about what had made him beg with such a humble tone.
Nie Tian smiled faintly and said in a playful tone, "Lord Divine Sword Master, since it's just a small matter, you don't have to be so polite. Just tell me, and I'll definitely help you wherever I can."
He was not a fool. How could he not tell that Gongsun Sheng's request was no small matter?
However, Nie Tian did not refuse. Speaking of which, he had some friendship with Third Lady Gongsun. For the sake of Third Lady Gongsun, he could not directly refuse Gongsun Shengji.
Gongsun Shengji's expression changed again and again. In the end, it became very complicated, fearful, embarrassed, and hesitant.
"Lord Divine Sword Master, why don't you say something?" Seeing that Gongsun Sheng wasn't speaking for a long time, Guiwu Kuang Sha couldn't help but become anxious, and couldn't help but urge him.
Gongsun Sheng's gaze swept across Nie Tian and Guiwu Kuangsha. Finally, he sighed and said, "A few months ago, I broke through to the legendary realm of Sword and Martial Arts as One. You all know about this, right?"
"I know." Nie Tian nodded and looked at Gongsun Shengji, waiting for him to continue.
Nie Tian was present when Gongsun Sheng came out of seclusion. How could he not know about this?
If there was no monster like Di Shitian, Gongsun Sheng would most likely be the only Legendary Swordsman in the Nine Realms.
Breaking through to the Legendary realm was a great thing, but Gongsun Sheng's expression was very embarrassed. This was very strange.
"Alas!" Gongsun Sheng sighed again and said, "In fact, with my talent, it is impossible to break through to the Legendary realm. You are all swordsmen. You should be very clear that the realm of Sword Dao is more difficult the further you go.
"The pinnacle of Sword and Martial Arts as One is the limit of my Sword Dao. Before the last seclusion, I also did seclusion several times. Each time, it would be hundreds or even thousands of years. However, the result of the seclusion was no exception.
"The last time I went into seclusion, I knew that there was no hope of breaking through to the Legendary realm. Therefore, I took the risk and chose a path of no return."
"A path of no return?" Nie Tian and Guiwu Kuang Sha were stunned at the same time. They didn't understand what Gongsun Sheng was talking about.
"Sigh!" Gongsun Sheng sighed for the third time and said, "In the Sword Pavilion of the Divine Martial Sword Pagoda, there is a sword technique left behind by an Archaic Swordsman. It records a very mysterious sword technique. However, it is a pity that the sword technique is only a remnant and not complete. Therefore, this sword technique is regarded as a taboo and no one is allowed to practice it. "
"You practiced this sword technique in order to break through to the Legendary realm?" Guiwu Kuang Sha couldn't help but let out a strange cry with a shocked expression.
Nie Tian's reaction was very calm. He looked at Gongsun Sheng indifferently.
Gongsun Sheng wanted to break through to the Legendary realm and obtain more power. It was not strange for him to practice the sword technique.
A swordsman's pursuit of the realm of Sword Dao was very strong.
However, on the path of Sword Dao, apart from the swordsman's own efforts and opportunities, the most important thing was the talent in Sword Dao.
Guiwu Kuang Sha's talent in Sword Dao was already considered top-notch. He was now at the advanced Sword and Martial Arts as One realm, but if he wanted to reach the pinnacle of Sword and Martial Arts as One, without any fortuitous encounter, he would need at least 100,000 years, or even longer.
And if he wanted to break through the pinnacle and break through to the Legendary realm, it was almost impossible.
It was precisely because of this that many martial artists would often choose to take risks out of desperation in order to reach a higher realm. This was a very common thing among martial artists.
Take Nie Tian for example. He practiced three great forbidden techniques at the same time and was about to fuse with the Heart of Darkness.
Each of these things could be considered as taking risks out of desperation.
The difference was that Nie Tian would succeed every time he took risks out of desperation.
Other martial artists did not have his strength and luck.
Gongsun Sheng took risks out of desperation. On the surface, it seemed that he had succeeded, but looking at his current reaction, it was estimated that he had failed. Moreover, the price of this failure was very high. Otherwise, he would not have come to ask Nie Tian for help.
"Yes." Gongsun Sheng nodded his head. His eyes flickered with a strange light as he said, "I practiced the Forbidden Sword Technique and condensed the Forbidden Sword Intent, successfully breaking through to the Legendary realm of Sword and Martial Arts as One."
But speaking up to this point, his expression suddenly became very ugly as he continued, "I originally thought that I had succeeded. But I did not expect that the Forbidden Sword Intent was so terrifying that my martial body could not withstand it at all. Right now, I'm constantly being tortured by the forbidden sword intent. "
Nie Tian and Guiwu Kuang Sha were stunned at the same time, and their eyes couldn't help but tremble.
Gongsun Sheng had the strength of a peak Paramount God. Coupled with his originally peak Sword and Martial Arts as One realm, his battle prowess was definitely in the top ten of the Nine Major Realms.
Even with such strength, he could not withstand the Forbidden Sword Intent. How strong was this Sword Intent?
