The sound of a sword being sharpened came from the black Primordium Sword Stone. The sound was clear and pleasant, containing a mysterious rhythm. It was as if the great dao of heaven and earth were faintly humming at this moment, making one feel relaxed and happy.
For sword cultivators like Ji Wenrui and Sword Master Li Meng, this humming was enough to make them feel happy both physically and mentally.
However, Ji Wenrui and Sword Master Li could not feel happy at all. They looked at Sword Master Cangming in shock. "Elder Cangming, what exactly are you …"
Sword Master Cangming turned around and said with a thunderous voice, "The other eight sword sects, whether it's the Tongtian, Thunderbolt, Canghai, or Lie Huo sects, their swordsmanship all originates from Shu Mountain.
"Now, with them as the foundation, we can use them to nurture the Immortal Heaven Sword. Then, with the power of the Primordium Sword Stone, we can reforge the Immortal Heaven Sword."
Ji Wenrui's expression was solemn. "Elder Cangming, the Divine Land is in danger right now. Isn't it inappropriate for you to do this?"
Sword Master Cangming looked at Ji Wenrui with disappointment. "Wenrui, can't you see through such a simple logic?"
"Let me ask you, why did we set up this Immortal Primordium Sword Array?"
Ji Wenrui was not in the mood to correct Sword Venerable Firmament's appellation of the sword array. He said in a deep voice, "That's to gather the strength of my Nine Heavens Sword Union and fight against the Demon Race in the war between the two worlds.
Through the Nine Heavens Primordium Sword Array, there was hope that the combined power of the nine sword sects would produce a qualitative change.
Sword Master Cangming said indifferently, "That's right. Gathering our power and fighting against the Demon Race is the ultimate goal. Since that's the case, what's wrong with reforging the Immortal Heaven Sword?"
"The Immortal Primordium Sword Array is a combined effort, and so is the forging of the Immortal Heaven Sword Sword."
Ji Wenrui stared at Sword Venerable Firmament and said in a deep voice, "But this will cause the Nine Heavens Sword Union to fall apart again. Moreover, the ritual you're performing right now to reconstruct the Immortal Heaven Sword might completely drain all the power of the major sword sects' grand formations!
Sword Venerable Firmament smiled. His aged face revealed an extremely arrogant and sharp aura. This was the arrogance that most of the Shushan sword cultivators of the past were used to. "Since when do we, the Shushan sword cultivators, have to listen to those trash when we do things?"
Honorable Swordsman Li Meng remained silent. Ji Wenrui took a deep breath and said, "Elder Cang Ming …"
Sword Sovereign Firmament directly interrupted his words, "This old one knows very well what Senior Brother Tiangang and you are thinking. It's nothing more than being apprehensive of the Celestial Gate's Sect Master and Xuanmen Tianzong."
There seemed to be infinite sword intent bursting out of his thin body, but his tone was still calm. "One day, Mount Shu will compete with Xuanmen Tianzong in swordsmanship again, and we will find a chance to take revenge for the humiliation of having our mountain gate crushed in the past."
"But not now. Even if the Immortal Heaven Sword is reforged, not now." Silently, Sword Venerable Firmament said, "The Celestial Gate Master's power is already established, and his ominous sword is even more complete. I have no intention of using the Immortal Heaven Sword to fight him again, but this does not mean that we have to lower our heads."
"It is precisely because we want to take revenge in the future that we have to seize every opportunity to improve ourselves. Only then will the Immortal Heaven Sword have the chance to fight against Heaven Punishment again."
Sword Venerable Firmament swept a glance at Ji Wenrui. "This is not something that can be done with empty words or determination. We have to put it into action. The Celestial Gate Master and Xuanmen Tianzong will not stand still and wait for us. They are also advancing. If we do not put in more effort, we will only be getting further and further away from them."
"What difference is there between that and waiting for death and slowly committing suicide? This old one is not talented, but I do not like to deceive myself and others. "
Sword Venerable Firmament's gaze turned towards the Primordium Sword Stone. "This old one prefers things that can be seen and touched, and I prefer to receive tangible rewards for my efforts."
Although he was facing one of the few elders in the sect, Ji Wenrui still said Silently, "Elder Firmament, the revitalization of our Shu Mountain does not lie in whether or not we can defeat Xuanmen Tianzong. The key lies in ourselves."
"That's right. As long as you and Elder Tiangang are here, even if our Shu Mountain is extremely weak today and the other eight major swordsmanship sects join forces, they will still not be a match for our Shu Mountain. However, our gazes should not only be focused on them."
Sword Venerable Firmament withdrew his gaze and looked towards Ji Wenrui. The disappointment on his face grew heavier and heavier. "This old one originally thought that you were also carefully planning for this moment in front of us. Who knew that this is not the case."
"You are simply worried about the friendly relationship between Xuanmen Tianzong and the Thunderbolt Sword Sect, the Wilderness Sword Sect, and the Celeritas Sword Sect. However, does this make your hands and feet tied?"
"Back then, the Celestial Gate Master's sword not only broke the Celestial Sword, but also the backbone of our Shu Mountain? Wenrui, look at yourself now. You don't even dare to feel anger towards Xuanmen Tianzong. You don't even have the heart to resist, and you don't have the will to win? "
"Back then, the dragon was born far away. He chose you to take over the position of sect master because he wanted you to be mature and steady. However, he didn't want you to be steady and steady to become petty and cowardly."
"Previously, when you guys reconstructed the sword heart, it was to reconstruct a sword heart that no longer has any edge and is like blunt iron?"
Sword Venerable Firmament's voice became more and more like thunder exploding in Ji Wenrui and Sword Venerable Li Meng's ears.
Ji Wenrui's face was slightly pale. He looked towards Sword Venerable Firmament. "Elder Firmament, please reconsider."
Although Sword Venerable Firmament's current situation was a little strange, his cultivation was not far from his peak in the past. Not to mention that Ji Wenrui and Sword Venerable Li Meng were only at the Void Return Realm, even if they were at the Void Return Realm and Dao Integration Realm, they would still not be a match for Sword Venerable Firmament. Whatever Sword Venerable Firmament wanted to do, they could not stop him at all.
However, as Ji Wenrui looked at the sword formation in front of him, he felt more and more apprehensive. "If you do this now, the situation will only suddenly collapse."
Sword Venerable Firmament's expression did not change at all. His gaze also landed on the sword formation in front of him. "The situation is under control. It won't collapse."
He turned his head to look at Ji Wenrui and Sword Venerable Li Meng. "You guys seem to have forgotten that although this Heavenly Immortal Sword Formation was created through the combined efforts of everyone, I was the main person who created this sword formation."
"I've spent more effort on this sword formation than everyone else combined. It has even delayed my own cultivation. Otherwise, I would have long since ascended to the Dharma Ending Realm like Senior Brother Tiangang."
Sword Venerable Firmament's expression was relaxed. "Although Tongtian, Thunderbolt, and the others are guarding their respective mountain gate formations, as long as they have already merged our sword formation with their own mountain gate formations, they are destined to be unable to affect the ritual that I'm currently carrying out."
"The Heavenly Immortal Sword Formation was created to establish Shu Mountain's absolute control over the sword dao sects in the world."
"Although Tongtian and Thunderbolt are both Void Return and Dao Integration cultivators, they are completely insufficient in front of me." A proud smile seemed to appear on his aged face. "Do they think that just because they are Void Return and Dao Integration cultivators, they are completely insignificant in front of me." If it were not for Xuanmen Tianzong and Taixu Temple, they are still far from being able to cause trouble in front of Shu Mountain on their own. "
"If it were not for Xuanmen Tianzong and Taixu Temple, I would have used the power of the sword formation to directly suppress and kill them in their own mountain gate formations. They might not even be able to react in time."
Ji Wenrui and Sword Venerable Li Meng's hearts trembled when they heard this. Sword Venerable Firmament said indifferently, "If we can directly sacrifice all of them to the sword, we will have more confidence in recasting the Heavenly Immortal Sword. However, out of consideration for Taixu Temple and Xuanmen Tianzong, we will let them go for now."
"Two Dao Integration cultivators, a few Void Return cultivators, and a few Primordial Spirit incarnations. How can they compare to our sect's creation Dharma treasure, the Heavenly Immortal Sword? If we can use their combined strength to jointly promote the recasting of the Heavenly Immortal Sword, they will be able to play a role far beyond their original value. "
"We are now in a war between two worlds, and the human race is in a more critical situation. This is actually the best way to concentrate our strength. Didn't you all have the same intention when you activated the Heavenly Immortal Sword Formation previously?"
Sword Venerable Firmament placed his hands behind his back and turned his back to Ji Wenrui and Sword Venerable Li Meng. He looked calmly at the sword formation before him.
However, a turbulent sword intent and sword qi surged from his small body, filling the entire world where Shu Mountain was located and firmly enveloping Ji Wenrui and Sword Venerable Li Meng behind him.
Ji Wenrui and Sword Venerable Li Meng could clearly feel that if they made any rash moves, thousands of swords would immediately attack from the void above and below them.
What caused their hearts to go cold was that the Sword Insight that was concealed and concealed shockingly contained piercingly cold killing intent. They didn't doubt in the slightest that Sword Exalt Firmament would really annihilate them here if they made the slightest movement of resisting or disturbing it.
"The world is in chaos. For everyone, it is like rowing a boat against the current. If you don't advance, you will fall behind. Everyone is fighting for their own opportunities." A voice sounded behind Ji Wenrui and Sword Venerable Li Meng. "If others can fight for it, Shu Mountain will naturally fight for it too."
Ji Wenrui and Sword Venerable Li Meng sighed at the same time. The person who had spoken was Sword Venerable Taiyin. They could clearly feel that besides Sword Venerable Taiyin, Sword Venerable Shaoze, Sword Venerable Guanchong, and Sword Venerable Shaoshang were all great sword cultivators of Shu Mountain who were like Sword Venerable Firmament before them.
None of these people had recovered to their peak condition, but they were not far from it. However, Sword Exalt Lunar and the others were like Sword Exalt Firmament, causing Ji Wenrui to feel a sense of unfamiliarity and strangeness.
Sword Venerable Firmament's cultivation was much higher than his, so Ji Wenrui could not see it clearly. However, feeling Sword Venerable Taiyin and the others behind him, he could finally clearly describe what that strange feeling was.
Sword Venerable Taiyin and the others were like peerless blades that had been resharpened. They revealed their sharpness and seemed to be able to cut through everything.
However, although the blades of these peerless divine swords were incomparably sharp, the bodies of the swords were twisted and turned. Although they were sharp, they gave off an extremely strange and disharmonious feeling.
Ji Wenrui said solemnly, "You are all like evil swords."
Sword Venerable Firmament turned a deaf ear to these words. Sword Venerable Taiyin and the others were not angered. Instead, they smiled slightly. "Swords are just swords. They are not divided into good or evil, only sharp or blunt. The key is whether they are sharp or not. Everything else is just fanciful."
Ji Wenrui looked up to the sky and sighed. "You are sharp, but easy to break!"
The sword formation in Shu Mountain continued to operate, almost endlessly absorbing the power of the great formations of the other sword sects. This gradually made the others feel uneasy and confused. Sword Venerable Tongtian and the others, who were not completely at ease with Shu Mountain, immediately became vigilant.
And Sword Venerable Tiangang, who was in the Southern Wasteland Realm's passageway, discovered the abnormality almost immediately.
