In midair, Ling Xian's robe was blood red and he was heavily injured.
The Twelfth Sword truly was powerful. Especially when he displayed the Millions of Swords, he truly had the ability to slay dragons and kill gods.
However, Ling Xian was stronger!
Though he was heavily injured, he stopped the Millions of Swords and defeated the Twelfth Sword!
Therefore, his wounds were not a sign of weakness, they were a sign of his strength!
Because of this, everyone was in awe. Especially those from the Sword House, they were shocked to the extreme.
"An accident has happened. After this battle, the Twelfth Sword may fall."
"This is the first defeat of his life. This is a huge blow."
"This person is far too powerful. Not only is his technique stronger, but his foundation is also stronger than the Twelfth Sword!"
"I cannot believe he could defeat the Millions of Swords and defeat the Twelfth Sword!"
All the swordsmen exclaimed. They didn't think the final winner would be Ling Xian.
The Elder of Nine Swords didn't expect this either.
He was ready to make a move to save Ling Xian. After all, the Twelfth Sword was insanely powerful and the Millions of Swords was an undefeatable forbidden technique!
"Young man, I have underestimated you."
The Elder of Nine Swords revealed a smile full of praise.
The Supreme Headmaster's face was a little ugly. The 18 peak leaders were the same.
The Twelfth Sword lost. Not only did he lose face, he also lost face for the Sword House.
"You have lost."
Ling Xian glared at the Twelfth Sword. Though he was bleeding profusely, his Qi was overpowering.
"Yes, I have lost. I have completely lost."
The Twelfth Sword bitterly smiled, unwilling to accept this cruel result. However, he had recognized reality.
He had even used the strongest technique of the Sword House. Naturally, he had nothing to say.
"I told you, the one who lost face may not be me."
Ling Xian said softly. He tried to persuade the Twelfth Sword but the Twelfth Sword ignored him and insisted on proving himself.
The result was that he lost face and was even more humiliating.
"You are right. I really shouldn't have fought against you. But I don't regret it. At least, I tried my best."
The Twelfth Sword bitterly smiled. He challenged Ling Xian but lost completely. This made him feel like a joke.
"I hope you can walk out of this shadow. Or else you will be useless."
Ling Xian softly sighed. He had no hatred against the Twelfth Sword.
"I know, but how?"
The Twelfth Sword was bitter. His undefeatable mentality has been shattered by Ling Xian and it will be hard to rebuild it.
"That's up to you. No one can help you."
"I hope you can walk out of the shadow and rebuild your invincible mind. I'll be waiting for you ahead."
Then, he landed beside the Elder of Nine Swords and closed his eyes to heal himself.
"Wait for me ahead …"
The Twelfth Sword was despondent, and his heart was like dead ashes.
After cultivating for so many years, he had always been the leader of his generation. He was the target that others chased after. But now, there was a tall mountain in front of him.
Who wouldn't feel bitter about it?
"The Twelfth Sword, who has always been the target of others, has now become a pursuer. This is unbelievable."
A swordsman exclaimed. Looking at Ling Xian, who was sitting in a lotus position, he said, "From today on, there will be a place for him in the Holy City!"
All the legendary figures of the Sword Dao nodded in agreement when they heard this.
An evildoer who had suppressed the Twelfth Sword would have a place even in the Sacred City, which was filled with experts!
"One day, I will defeat you and reclaim my glory!"
The Twelfth Sword stared at Ling Xian deeply before turning around to leave. He had no face to stay any longer.
"Young man, I thought you couldn't defend against the Ten Million Swords and was about to save you." The Elder of Nine Swords complimented.
"The Ten Million Swords truly is an undefeatable technique. It has the ability to slay dragons and kill gods. If it weren't for the fact that the Twelfth Sword's foundation is weaker than mine, even if I don't die, I would be half crippled."
Ling Xian softly sighed. The Ten Million Swords were far too powerful. If it was anyone else, they wouldn't be able to hold on.
"The Ten Thousand Swords and the Ten Million Swords … these two techniques are extremely mysterious. Legend has it that they were the forbidden techniques of the Undying Immortal King."
Remembering a certain rumor, the Elder of Nine Swords exclaimed.
"The Undying Immortal King's technique?" Ling Xian frowned. He wasn't sure if the rumor was real or not.
"It is merely a rumor and cannot be verified. However, these two techniques were not created by the House of Swords," the Elder of Nine Swords said.
"It seems like the four ancient cities are also related to the Undying Immortal King." Ling Xian frowned.
"They are all rumors. Whether or not they are true, who can say for sure?"
The Elder of Nine Swords sighed, "History has covered up too many truths and twisted too many facts."
Then, he paused, "Legend has it that there is a place where one can find out the history of the four ancient cities."
"Where?" Ling Xian's interest was piqued.
"The House of Heavens."
The Elder of Nine Swords' expression was serious, "Nobody has seen this place and nobody can confirm if it exists or not. There are only bits and pieces of records about it in ancient books."
"The House of Heavens … can you tell me more about it?" Ling Xian frowned and suddenly remembered the purple token.
The image of the token was that of an immortal's residence.
"Nobody has seen it. How can I describe it?"
The Elder of Nine Swords shook his head, "The ancient books only say that it is suspended in midair. It is mysterious and full of heavenly energy."
Hearing this, Ling Xian's heart quivered. He was more and more certain that the House of Heavens was the mansion that the purple token transformed into.
At this moment, he made a decision. After the gathering of the swords, he will investigate it in detail.
"Let's not talk about this vague legend anymore. You should focus on healing yourself."
The Elder of Nine Swords faintly smiled and didn't speak anymore.
Seeing this, Ling Xian didn't say anything else. He closed his eyes and focused on healing.
Time passed by silently. After his battle against the Twelfth Sword, a few more people began their battles. Without exception, they were all famous powerhouses.
However, none of them were as exciting as the battle between Ling Xian and the Twelfth Sword. Everyone found it boring.
Slowly, no one else fought against each other. They were all waiting for the highlight of the gathering, the enlightenment of the sword.
The Encyclopedia of the Sword is an extraordinary treasure. It contains countless sword techniques and is fatally attractive to all living beings.
Therefore, when the Supreme Headmaster of the Sword House announced the start of the third round, everyone's eyes brightened.
Ling Xian was no exception.
He came here to study the Encyclopedia of the Sword. Without it, he wouldn't have come.
"Encyclopedia of the Sword, please!"
The Sword House Supreme Headmaster's expression was serious. He formed a hand seal and unleashed a mysterious force.
The Sword House's 18 peak leaders did the same.
Instantly, the Peak of Heaven Splitting began to shake. Heavenly light emitted and pierced through the sky.
Then, the mountain cracked open and a wordless scroll flew out. It was surrounded by murky air and emitted the true meaning of the Dao.
It was the Sword House's unparalleled treasure, the Encyclopedia of the Sword!
"It was hidden inside the Peak of Heaven Splitting …"
Ling Xian was shocked. But after thinking about it, he understood.
The Peak of Heaven Splitting was an existence comparable to a Divine Weapon. Hidden inside the mountain was, without a doubt, the safest place to hide.
"I hereby announce the official start of the third round of the gathering!"
The Sword House Supreme Headmaster announced in a low voice. Then, he flapped around his sleeve. Everyone who didn't understand the Dao of the Sword was immediately sent out of the Sword House.
"Alright, everyone, please begin to study the Encyclopedia of the Sword."
The Sword House Supreme Headmaster smiled. Instantly, the Encyclopedia of the Sword began to emit heavenly light that turned into the Dao of the Dao, intoxicating everyone.
