As soon as Lin Huang gave the order, more than three hundred and sixty Sword Servants arrived in less than three minutes and lined up in the square in front of the Great Heaven Palace.
The ten guards from Sword1 to Sword10 stood in the first row, and the rest lined up in order of their numbers.
Lin Huang noticed that Sword11's position behind Sword1 was vacant. Sword1 obviously noticed this as well, and his expression was a little unsightly.
Fortunately, apart from Sword11's position, there were no other vacant positions.
After everyone had arrived, they silently waited for the arrival of the new swordmaster. Apart from a few people whose eyes were attracted by the vacant position left by Sword11, most people turned their attention to the gate of the Great Heaven Palace. After all, to them, this gate had not been opened for more than three hundred thousand years.
Initially, everyone thought that the new swordmaster would take some time to dress up no matter what, so they would definitely have to wait.
However, after the last Sword Servant arrived, less than ten seconds later, the gate of the Great Heaven Palace opened automatically.
Hearing the sound of the gate of the Great Heaven Palace opening, everyone's gaze was instantly drawn in that direction, and they stared intently in the direction of the gate.
Lin Huang did not even change his clothes. He walked slowly out of the palace gate in his original black robe.
After standing still, his gaze swept across the crowd. Only then did he lift his hood and take off his mask, revealing his true face.
With a faint smile on his face, Lin Huang calmly introduced himself to the group of people. "Hello everyone, my name is Lin Huang."
In fact, before walking out of the Great Heaven Palace, Lin Huang was a little nervous. After all, the three hundred or so people in front of him were all high-level Heavenly Gods, and many of them were even peak ninth-rank Heavenly God powerhouses. However, after standing still and seeing many familiar faces, he did not feel nervous at all. He had fought most of the people in the queue before, so he was no stranger to them.
"Greetings, Lord Swordmaster!"
The many Sword Servants shouted in unison.
Many of the Sword Servants in the queue who had fought with Lin Huang before also had mixed emotions at this time.
Most of them did not think highly of Lin Huang during the Competitive Trial. They felt that his chances of passing the final assessment were slim. Indeed, Lin Huang's ability back then was far from enough to obtain the Great Heaven inheritance. At most, he was on par with a weakened version of Sword10.
However, the many Sword Servants whose combat strength was no longer restricted could clearly sense that Lin Huang had mastered a variety of Rule Bending Powers. Moreover, his Sword Dao had been elevated to level-2 Sword Dao true meaning — True Meaning Level! His strength was incomparable to before. It was not surprising that he could pass the stage under Swordhand's watch.
Just as Lin Huang was smiling and did not know what to say, Sword1 spoke.
"Lord Swordmaster, except for Sword11, all the Sword Servants are here!"
"Sword11 violated swordmaster Great Heaven's ban and betrayed the Great Heaven Palace's Trial space without permission. I will personally capture him and punish him according to the rules!"
"I know about Sword11. He's not considered a defection." Lin Huang looked at Sword1. His words surprised most of the people present.
This was because Sword11 was not in the Trial space. As a participant, it was impossible for Lin Huang to have seen him in the Trial space.
"I met Sword11 in the Great Heaven Territory. All these years, he's been working hard to collect information on all kinds of sword cultivators in the Great Heaven Territory. He also selected Sword Dao cultivators who he thought might be able to obtain the Great Heaven inheritance and let them participate in the Great Heaven Trial.
"I got the information from him and entered the Swordfiend Abyss. To a certain extent, the fact that I'm able to obtain my current position as the Swordmaster is due to his contributions. "
Sword1 was silent for a moment before speaking to Lin Huang.
"According to the swordmaster, Sword11 can't be considered a defection. He can only be considered an escape. However, even if he escapes, he still violated the ban set by swordmaster Great Heaven. He still has to be punished! "
"I'll capture him alive and hand him over to the swordmaster himself!"
Lin Huang pondered for a moment and thought of what to say before speaking again.
"I'll deal with Sword11 myself.
"By the way, because my combat strength is too low, Teacher Great Heaven has limited my authority. Currently, I can only take Sword Servants above Sword300 out of the Great Heaven Palace's affiliated space. "
Lin Huang told a small lie here and changed the original "Great Heaven Territory" to "Great Heaven Palace". This was because the rules stated that once Sword Servants whose authority was not open to him entered the Great Heaven Territory, they would be free from his absolute control.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Lin Huang decided not to let this group of Sword Servants into the Great Heaven Territory for the time being to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
After all, this group of people had waited for more than three hundred thousand years. It would not be too late to let them all out after he elevated to heavenly god-level in a few decades or a century. When that time came, they would not be able to cause any trouble even if they came to the great world, much less the Great Heaven Territory.
"Only after Sword300?" Sword8 was a little unhappy.
"At present, only after Sword300, but this authority will increase as my combat strength increases," Lin Huang nodded and explained, "When I elevate to virtual god-level, the authority for Sword100 and above will be unlocked. When I elevate to true god-level, the authority for Sword10 and above will be unlocked. However, the authority for you guards may have to wait a little longer. I'll have to wait until I reach heavenly god-level before it can be unlocked. "
Sword8's expression immediately turned sour.
Someone behind him could not help asking, "Lord Swordmaster, did you just say you were elevating to virtual god-level? Isn't your current combat strength at virtual god-level rank-9? "
"No, my cultivation method is different from ordinary people. At present, I haven't consolidated a Godhead in my body, but the strength of my aura is similar to that of a virtual god-level rank-9," Lin Huang nodded and explained. "However, I should elevate to virtual god-level soon."
These words stunned many people present. Many of them thought that Lin Huang's combat strength was virtual god-level rank-9. They did not expect that he had not stepped into virtual god-level at all.
As for Sword1 and a few others, they had long noticed that Lin Huang's combat strength was abnormal and had guessed this in advance, so they were not surprised.
However, Lin Huang's low combat strength did not arouse the dissatisfaction of the Sword Servants. Instead, many of the Sword Servants' eyes lit up. They began to look forward more and more to what kind of changes Lin Huang would bring after he took power.
After some communication, Lin Huang told everyone his follow-up plans.
"After today's meeting, I'll leave the Inheritance Space with Sword301 to 368 and head to the Great Heaven Territory. After dealing with Sword11, I'll take them back to the great world.
"Because I don't have enough authority, I can't take the Great Heaven Palace with me for the time being. After I leave, the Inheritance Space of the Great Heaven Palace will be closed to the outside world. Things here will be managed jointly by ten guards. In the next year or two, I have a personal matter that I must deal with, so I may not return to the Great Heaven Palace in the near future. To avoid a long wait, I'll adjust the speed of the Trial space back to 1: 1 with the great world.
"After I've dealt with my personal matters, I'll officially build a brand-new organization in the great world with everyone!"
