Inside the grand and majestic Limestone Temple.
The pinnacle Myth sitting on the left kept studying the sword mark on the wood in front of him with a look of awe as if he had seen some rare treasure.
It was the same for the others, all of them staring at the sword mark in disbelief.
They were all Patriarchs of Wanjian School, and their attainments in Sword Dao far surpassed other pinnacle Myths. Naturally, they could tell how frightening the sword mark on the wood was.
Still, it was not to say that the sword will contained in the mark surpassed Wanjian School's.
Wanjian School was a great sect inherited from a Sword Dao land immortal, while the Ten Thousand Swords Daoist had reigned supreme over the seas for five hundred years. How could it not compare to a sword mark that Su Qin had casually left?
What left the Wanjian School Patriarchs in shock was that the sword will within the mark was not any sword will that they knew of. Even so, in terms of sharpness, it was comparable to the Ten Great Sword Wills that Wanjian School was proud of.
That was absolutely terrifying.
After all, the Ten Great Sword Wills of Wanjian School were left behind by the Ten Thousand Swords Daoist, and were said to encompass all Sword Dao in the world. And yet, the sword will within the mark on the wood was not one of the Ten Great Sword Wills of Wanjian School, but it did not belong to the former in terms of sharpness and power.
What did that mean?
It meant that the person who had left the mark on the wood was not far off from the Ten Thousand Swords Daoist's understanding of Sword Dao, even if he was not as good as the Ten Thousand Swords Daoist all those years ago. At the very least, the Ten Thousand Swords Daoist did not come up with such a sword will.
Of course, understanding of sword dao was understanding of sword dao, while one's cultivation realm was one's cultivation realm. The two could not be lumped together. Still, whatever the case may be, the shallow sword mark on the wood had left the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's forefathers in shock.
"Humph!"
That was when another red-haired Patriarch of Wanjian School snorted coldly. "Even if the sword will is sharper, isn't it still suppressed by us?"
"That's true."
The third ancestor of the Myriad Swords Sect said proudly.
If Su Qin were to come in person, they would be extremely cautious. After all, Chiyuan Laozu's death had made Old Ancestors like them palpitate for a period of time. They were even more fearful of Su Qin, who could kill Chiyuan Laozu.
However, the sword intent left behind by the other party was nothing in the eyes of the Great Ancestors of Wanjian School.
"However, the princess of The Empire of Tang not only has the Body of the Sword Heart, but also carries the Sword Will of the Peak Legend in Chang 'an City. The two must have a close relationship."
"We forcefully took away the princess of The Empire of Tang and suppressed this Sword Will. I'm afraid that we have completely offended the legend in Chang 'an City …"
There was a hint of worry in the red-haired Patriarch's voice, who had just spoken.
Although they were also Peak Legends and were in the same realm as Su Qin, they had been sleeping until now with their self-sealing secret skills. Their Qi and blood were declining. They might be able to compete with Su Qin for a short period of time, but once the battle dragged on, how could they defeat Su Qin, a Peak Legend with abundant Qi and blood and sufficient Shouyuan?
This was not even the most terrible result.
Once Su Qin was willing to completely put down his face and attack the younger disciples of Wanjian School, who could withstand the anger of a Peak Legend?
When that time came, the Patriarchs of Wanjian School would not be able to stop it even if they wanted to.
After all, there were only a few Patriarchs, but there were thousands of disciples in Wanjian School. They could not protect them all at all. Unless Wanjian School sealed the mountain and all the disciples were not allowed to leave Wanjian School, this could stop Su Qin's massacre.
However, in that case, Wanjian School would completely lose control of the outside world, and the martial arts resources it controlled would be greatly reduced. In the long run, it would inevitably decline.
The expressions of the other Patriarchs of Wanjian School changed slightly, and they suddenly felt that this was a tricky situation.
This was the deterrent force of a Peak Legend.
If a Peak Legend did not care, even the major sects would have a headache. Moreover, Su Qin was not an ordinary Peak Legend. Even Chiyuan Laozu had fallen in his hands. How could an ordinary Peak Legend be a match for him?
Just as the Patriarchs of Wanjian School had ugly expressions on their faces …
The gray-robed man, who had been sitting cross-legged in the middle and silent, slowly said, "Don't worry about the Legend in Chang 'an City."
This gray-robed man obviously had an extraordinary status. As soon as he spoke, the other Patriarchs immediately quieted down and looked over.
The reason why they took the risk of offending a Peak Legend, forcibly took Li Wan away, and suppressed Su Qin's Sword Will was the gray-robed man's idea.
Otherwise, even if these Patriarchs really wanted to attack Su Qin, they would not use this method.
"If we suppress this Sword Will and cut off the connection, even if the Legend in Chang 'an City knows that it was done by Wanjian School, he will not be able to pinpoint his location.
"He won't be able to find us in a short time."
The gray-robed man shook his head and said faintly.
"We'll talk about it later."
When the gray-robed man said this, a smile appeared on his face.
"Kenzu felt the fluctuation of the Vitality Tide, and his Primordial Spirit has awakened. He urgently needs a physical body with the Sword Heart Body.
"With Kenzu's strength, if he really awakens, why should we be afraid of a Peak Legend?"
The gray-robed man glanced around and said faintly.
Kenzu …
As soon as these two words were uttered, the bodies of the several Patriarchs present trembled.
As Patriarchs of Wanjian School, how could they not know about Kenzu? Ever since the Ten Thousand Swords Daoist founded Wanjian School, Kenzu had been the most talented person in Wanjian School for thousands of years. Not only had he inherited all of the Ten Thousand Swords Daoist's legacy, he had even evolved a Primordial Spirit, and was only a step away from becoming a Terrestrial Immortal.
"So it turns out that the Sword Ancestor needs a physical body to awaken …"
"And with Kenzu's towering power, an ordinary physical body would naturally not work. Only the Sword Heart Body, which is compatible with Sword Dao, could barely contain Kenzu's Primordial Spirit …"
The other Patriarchs were both surprised and delighted, and their faces were filled with excitement.
They had been wondering why the gray-robed man would be so obstinate as to offend Chang 'an City's Peak Legend, but it turned out that it was because Kenzu was about to awaken.
Kenzu had lived for more than nineteen hundred years, and his physical body had long decayed even if he had a self-sealing secret art to seal his qi.
For most Peak Legends, a decaying physical body would naturally be deader than dead if they did not have a suitable divine will secret art. But Kenzu was different.
Kenzu had evolved a Primordial Spirit.
The Primordial Spirit was immeasurably condensed, and a Peak Legend who had evolved a Primordial Spirit could be reborn through possession even if his physical body was destroyed.
Moreover, the Primordial Spirit existed much longer than the physical body. Kenzu had relied on his Primordial Spirit and his self-sealing secret art to survive until now.
Still, after slumbering for so long, even the power of his Primordial Spirit would become immeasurably weak and would need a new physical body to nurture it. And that physical body could only be the Sword Heart Body, because no other physical body would be able to contain Kenzu's Primordial Spirit that was brimming with towering sword will.
This was also the reason why Wanjian School had taken Li Wan away at all costs after discovering that he had the Sword Heart Body.
As long as Kenzu could awaken again, Wanjian School would once again overlook the sea. How could they give up on a Peak Legend like Su Qin?
Only the Red-haired Ancestor was still a little worried. He looked at the gray-robed man and could not help but say, "The Tide of Vitality has yet to completely recover. Isn't it too early for Kenzu to awaken at this time? What if his Primordial Spirit is damaged because of the lack of Vitality and spiritual opportunity … "
Kenzu was the strongest foundation of Wanjian School. As long as Kenzu existed, no one would dare to have any ideas about Wanjian School.
"It's not early."
The gray-robed man shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Kenzu has already sensed the recovery concentration of the Tide of Vitality and is about to reach a certain qualitative change. When that time comes, the world will undergo a great change, and all kinds of opportunities from the previous era will reappear.
"And Kenzu has awakened at this time because he wants to lead Wanjian School to occupy the battlefield and seize the opportunity."
The gray-robed man looked around and said quickly.
If Wanjian School wanted to rise again, it had to give birth to an Earth Immortal. With the current environment of Heaven and Earth, it was extremely difficult to even transform one's Primordial Spirit, let alone an Earth Immortal.
However, it would be different if they obtained the opportunity of the previous Tide of Vitality.
It was not certain that they would be able to step into the Earth Immortal realm, but at least it would be easier than now.
The other Wanjian School's Ancestors looked at each other and said in a fiery tone, "Then what should we do now?"
"Wait."
The gray-robed man raised his head and looked at the sea. "We welcome Kenzu's return to the world."
.....
At the same time.
Outside the giant peak where the Bluestone Hall was located, Su Qin's figure appeared silently.
"This is the last place where Li Wan's aura stopped." Su Qin looked at the giant peak in front of him and thought faintly.
"Hmm?"
Su Qin slowly released his Divine Sense and shrouded the giant peak. "There's a Heaven and Earth Formation at the top of the mountain. I can feel the aura of a Peak Myth inside."
Su Qin's eyes were deep.
The Heaven and Earth Formation could isolate one's Divine Sense and even block the coverage of a Domain. However, it could not block the insight of Su Qin's Eye of Truth.
Moreover, Su Qin's Eye of Truth would not leave any traces at all.
"And the sword mark I left behind is also here?"
Su Qin frowned slightly.
The sword mark contained a wisp of Su Qin's Divine Sense. If it was tens of thousands of miles away, coupled with the suppression of other Peak Myths, it would be difficult for Su Qin to sense it.
However, at this moment, Su Qin was standing outside the giant peak. At such a close distance, no matter how the Wanjian School's Grand Ancestors suppressed it, they could not hide it from him.
"Several pinnacle legends of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect remain here …"
Su Qin narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a trace of coldness.
At this moment, Su Qin naturally knew that Wanjian School did not have good intentions toward Li Wan.
Li Wan was of the Sword Heart Body, but with Wanjian School's foundation, if they really wanted to take Li Wan as a disciple, they could have just told Su Qin directly. Why did they have to sneak Li Wan away and suppress the Sword Will Su Qin left for Li Wan?
"I'd like to see what Wanjian School is up to."
Su Qin sneered.
In the next few moments, Su Qin once again scanned the area with his Divine Sense. In addition, he used the Eye of Truth and the Heavenly Man Observation Technique to observe the aura. After confirming that there were no traps, he directly stepped out, stretched out his right hand, and grabbed the giant peak.
