Other than the Sky of Freedom, the Sky of Heavenly Sword was the most mysterious Sword Hut in the entire Firmament.
The palaces of the other God Monarchs were extravagant and majestic, but the Sword Hut in the Firmament was just an ordinary straw hut.
"God Monarch …"
A middle-aged man walked up to the straw hut, but before he could say anything, he was already interrupted. "I know that a genius skilled in swordsmanship has appeared on the Celestial Mountain!"
"Yes …" the middle-aged man hurriedly nodded.
"I've seen his swordsmanship, and it's indeed astounding. In fact, it's even beyond our level, but he's not the person our Sword Hut is waiting for!"
The voice in the straw hut replied calmly.
"But … the Bell of Conferred God King has rung …" The middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment before he hurriedly said, "If we don't hurry up, the slots for the next Flood of Spiritual Energy will be even fewer, and our land will be taken away …"
"It doesn't matter if our land is taken away or not. What we want is an independent Sword Intent and comprehension of swordsmanship. We don't need to be inflexible!"
The voice in the straw hut said. "No matter how well you learn, it's just imitation. There's no need to worry about the Flood of Spiritual Energy. The person we are waiting for has already appeared. I'll look for him personally!"
"Yes …"
Seeing that the God Monarch had his own plans, the middle-aged man bowed and backed away.
"Sigh!"
After the middle-aged man left, a sigh rang out in the thatched cottage. It seemed to be lamenting, but it was also filled with confusion and doubt. "Is it right for you to do this?"
…
On a tall mountain surrounded by clouds and mist, a tall old man looked at the many disciples seated before him.
He was speaking in a profound language, and it sounded like heavenly music to the ears of the disciples. Their cultivation was also improving as he spoke.
"Alright, that's all for today!"
The elder suddenly stopped and glanced in a certain direction.
Noticing that something was amiss, a middle-aged man clasped his fist and bowed respectfully before asking, "Teacher, what's going on?"
Under normal circumstances, a teacher would only end the lesson after he had imparted a single point of knowledge. Yet, he had stopped halfway through. Clearly, something had happened.
"That person from the Sky of Freedom has already decided on a date to fight me on the fifteenth of the next month," the elder said with a smile, as if he was talking about someone else and not himself.
He didn't feel any pressure from the duel.
"The Sky of Freedom is the leader of the Nine Skies, ruling over the Myriad Worlds … Teacher, I'm afraid that you'll be challenging that God Monarch …" the middle-aged man said worriedly.
While he was confident in his teacher's strength, the Sky of Freedom was still the number one Sky of the Firmament, and the God Monarch of the Sky of Freedom was also known as the number one expert of the Firmament.
Most importantly, the deathmatch that the two of them had agreed to was completely different from the previous deathmatch.
"It's alright!" The old man still had a smile on his face as he stroked his beard. "Since it's a duel, there will naturally be winners and losers. No one will always win, and no one will always lose! Just do your best. "
"But … in order to fight with you, the other party descended to the Lower Worlds to search for the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn so that he could gain a better understanding of my teacher and your strength. I'm afraid that if we agree to it now, he might already know of my teacher's flaws. If he were to make a mistake, he would be in grave danger …" the middle-aged man said anxiously.
Zhang Xuan had challenged the Celestial Master of the Sky of Freedom, and initially, the other party had refused to accept his challenge. Eventually, the Celestial Master of the Sky of Freedom made a trip down to the lower worlds and set a date for the duel.
When experts clashed with one another, the slightest difference in strength could be detected. If Zhang Xuan were to find out about his teacher's flaws, he would be in grave danger.
"So what if he has found my flaws? It won't be that easy for him to defeat me! "the old man said confidently.
Having challenged so many God Monarchs, his strength had already reached the pinnacle of the Firmament.
"We have faith in your strength, but there's something that I don't understand. Why do you insist on challenging the other party to a duel, and why do you have to make a deathmatch?"
The middle-aged man asked in bewilderment.
His teacher had already earned the acknowledgement of the Eight God Monarchs, and his title as the Heaven Subjugation Monarch had already been acknowledged by everyone in the Firmament. Why did he insist on challenging the God Monarch of the Sky of Freedom?
More importantly, it was a deathmatch?
"This is fate, and there's no way we can avoid it. You won't understand," the old man said with a shake of his head. "Alright, if I die in the duel next month, all of you will have to wait here quietly. Wait for my successor to appear and listen to his instructions!"
"Successor? Teacher's successor? "the middle-aged man asked in bewilderment.
They had followed their teacher for a very long time, and they had roamed the world unhindered for countless years. Yet, they had never heard of a successor before!
"Indeed. He possesses the same ability as me, and he came from the Master Teacher Continent as well," the old man replied with a smile.
"Then … may I know the name of our teacher's successor? How can we be certain that it's him? "the middle-aged man asked.
"There's no need to confirm it. I'll recognize it the moment I see it!"
"As for his name … I can tell you all. His name is … Zhang Xuan!" Zhang Xuan shook his head.
…
In an unknown room in the Sky of Freedom …
Dense water vapor filled the room, making it difficult for one to see what was happening before them.
Huala!
The sound of water flowing could be heard as a flawless figure stood up from within.
Beautiful, jet-black hair, delicate skin, and a beautiful face …
With a wave of her hand, a thin veil covered her body, concealing her graceful figure.
"Young Mistress!"
A green-robed lady walked up to her and passed a comb over.
The beautiful lady slowly combed through her hair. Her every movement was reminiscent of an unfurling painting.
"Has the news spread?"
The beautiful lady asked.
"That's right," the green-robed lady replied.
"Is there any response?"
"Not at the moment," the green-robed lady replied. The woman in green shook her head. She thought for a moment and said, "However, we did find out about the matter that Miss wanted us to investigate!"
"Oh?" The beautiful lady's eyes lit up in excitement.
"A young man named Zhang Xuan has appeared in Twilight City. He has many talented disciples, and while he was searching for the Aura of Divinity on the Celestial Mountain, he triggered quite a few Bells of Conferred Kings!"
The green-robed lady reported.
"It seems like it's him …" the beautiful lady replied with a sweet smile.
"Young Mistress, do you want to pay him a visit?" the green-robed lady asked anxiously.
"There's no need for that. I have to prepare for the upcoming battle, so I can't meet anyone, especially him. Otherwise, I fear that I might lose my confidence in the battle," the beautiful lady replied with a complicated look on her face.
"If Young Mistress is wavering, we can just call it a day. The Heaven Subjugation Monarch is extremely powerful. Even the eight God Monarchs lost to him. I'm afraid that Young Mistress …" the green-robed lady said worriedly.
While the Young Mistress was the strongest person in the world, the Heaven Subjugation Monarch was not weak either.
In just forty short years, his name had resounded across the entire Firmament, and there was no one who did not know of his name. While no one knew the details of the battle, the fact that the Heaven Subjugation Monarch had acknowledged his identity as the Heaven Subjugation Monarch, it was clear that he would emerge victorious in all eight battles.
To the entire Firmament, there was no one who could stand a chance against him.
Given how powerful he was, all they had to do was avoid him. In fact, even if they were to fight, it would not be surprising for them to win or lose. Why did they have to declare a Life-and-Death Duel?
"There's no way around it. I have to kill him. This is my mission, and it's a responsibility that I can't shirk from," the beautiful lady said with a shake of her head.
"But …" the green-robed lady said anxiously.
"There's no buts. Since I've already made up my mind, there's no point in arguing anymore," the beautiful lady said with a wave of her hand. "Alright, I'll be going into seclusion to cultivate."
After saying those words, she vanished on the spot.
"Young Mistress …" Not expecting the Young Mistress to be so stubborn, the green-robed lady nodded reluctantly.
