(The weather is so cold. My hands are cold when I'm writing. My face is numb from the cold after taking a walk outside.)
The sky was boundless and blue. It was so boundless that it made one feel relaxed and happy.
The heavenly wind blew majestically. There was no beginning and no end. As time passed, the sky was still the same sky and the wind was still the same.
A streak of sword light controlled the sky, drawing the most beautiful trajectory as it galloped between the heavens and the earth. It flew forward rapidly, breaking through the sky and the heavenly wind, its sharpness shocking the heavens.
The wind was formless and colorless. However, one could vaguely see a figure following the sword ray and observing it.
Under the envelopment of his Heart Domain, Chen Zong increasingly felt that his opponent's Sword Controlling Sky Technique was extremely exquisite.
It looked like he had condensed the sword ray under his feet. It was as though he had become one with it. However, Chen Zong could not see the mystery behind it. After all, it was the Heavenly Sword Mountain's legacy.
Chen Zong was very interested in the Heavenly Sword Sect's Heavenly Sword Principle. Without a sword in hand, he could release such a powerful force just by condensing the sword shadow. It was really amazing.
In the battle with Tian Jianzi, the power of Tian Jianzi's last slash was close to the Supreme Stage.
Chen Zong also felt that it was not the limit. It seemed like it could be even stronger.
Xiao Tianjian's Sword Manipulation Technique was very fast. It was faster than most Ninth Level Saint Rudiment Stage martial artists. However, Chen Zong was not slow either. In fact, he could be faster.
Soon, the two of them flew out of the Ten Thousand Cracks Mountain and passed through a vast forest. They continued to move forward. They crossed a wide river and continued to head east. That was the direction where the sun rose.
Gradually, Chen Zong acutely sensed a sword Qi.
The sword Qi seemed very weak. However, it had a majestic force. It was as though it was above all living things and connected to the sky.
The sword Qi was not directed at anyone. It had always been like this since ancient times. It traversed between heaven and earth.
Gradually, the Sword Qi became stronger and stronger. Chen Zong also saw a mountain standing between heaven and earth. The mountain was like a huge ancient sword, pointing to the sky.
"Heavenly Sword Mountain!" Chen Zong thought to himself as an extremely sharp light flashed in the depths of his eyes. Immediately after, Chen Zong made an unexpected discovery. Xiao Tianjian's aura seemed to be gradually resonating with the enormous Heavenly Sword Mountain.
On second thought, this seemed to be quite normal.
Xiao Tianjian was the successor of Heavenly Sword Mountain. He cultivated the legacy of Heavenly Sword Mountain, so it was normal for him to have some connection with Heavenly Sword Mountain.
Chen Zong wondered if the members of the Sky Sword Mountain would receive an additional boost in strength and become even stronger if they fought in the Sky Sword Mountain.
The closer they got to the Sky Sword Mountain, the clearer the fluctuation of the sword Qi became.
Chen Zong was able to clearly sense that every single blade of grass, every tree, every rock, and every grain of sand on the mountain contained an extremely shocking fluctuation of sword qi. Even though it wasn't very strong, yet when combined together, it was capable of erupting with an extremely terrifying might that seemed capable of piercing through the sky and shattering the sky.
"It's really a holy land of swordsmanship," Chen Zong thought to himself.
If he were to cultivate and comprehend for a long time, the effect would not be much worse than the Ten Thousand Cracks Sword Scar.
The Sky Sword Mountain was 4,900 meters high. At the top of the mountain, there were two thatched huts. They looked very simple, but Chen Zong could sense that every blade of grass on each of the huts contained a trace of sharpness. It was the aura of sword Qi.
Generation after generation of Tian Jianzi and his disciples cultivated and comprehended swordsmanship here. Over time, they were infected by the waves of Sword Qi and were imprinted in it. Furthermore, the thatch that was used to build the thatch hut was not ordinary. Whether it was in terms of toughness or hardness, it was comparable to fine steel swords and sabers. After countless years of being soaked and imprinted by Sword Qi, it was not inferior to some low-grade spiritual artifacts.
Of course, this was of no use to Saint Realm powerhouses. It would only make them feel extraordinary.
"Jiandi Mountain, your presence brings light to my humble dwelling." An old but vigorous voice sounded. It was Tian Jianzi's voice, "This Old Master comprehended something after the battle with Jiandi. I was afraid that I would miss the opportunity, so I sent my disciple to invite Jiandi. Please forgive me for my rudeness."
"It's okay." Chen Zong did not mind. He stared at Tian Jianzi who walked out of the hut and asked unhurriedly, "But I wonder why Tian Jianzi has asked me to come here?"
Tian Jianzi would not have asked him to come here for no reason. There must be an important purpose.
"Jiandi, please," Tian Jianzi did not say directly. Instead, he gestured with his hand and invited Chen Zong into the hut.
The interior of the hut was very simple. There was an ancient-looking wooden table with an oily surface. The color was simple and deep, and it had an ancient charm.
On both sides of the table were two dark futons. It was unknown what kind of grass they were made of, but they emitted a faint fragrance that refreshed one's mind.
Tian Jianzi and Chen Zong sat on a praying mat across from each other on an antique table. Immediately, Chen Zong felt a refreshing aura emanating from the praying mat, causing him to feel refreshed and his thoughts to become clearer.
"Jiandi, how much do you know about Heavenly Sword Mountain?" Tian Jianzi asked slowly.
Chen Zong shook his head. If he had not come to the Upper Yuan Realm, he would not have known about Heavenly Sword Mountain. After all, the Profound Yuan Realm and the Upper Yuan Realm were two different realms. There was also the Sinking Bone Abyss between them, which separated countless people. In addition, Chen Zong had many things to learn and improve. Therefore, he did not have the time or energy to learn about other realms.
Unless, of course, there was a target.
"Heavenly Sword Mountain's orthodoxy has been passed down since ancient times, but it was cut off during the ancient war …" Tian Jianzi explained concisely. His voice was calm, but it was as if he was showing Chen Zong a picture scroll. It made Chen Zong feel as if he was there to witness the rise and fall of Heavenly Sword Mountain with his own eyes.
Chen Zong suddenly had a deeper understanding of Heavenly Sword Mountain after listening to Tian Jianzi's narration. He was also surprised.
There were only two people in a Sect in every generation. One was the Sect Master, and the other was the disciple. It was a little strange that the Master and the disciple had been passed down without any change.
If the Heavenly Sword Mountain did not have such a rule and instead accepted disciples, perhaps their inheritance would not have been cut off during the ancient war.
However, there was a reason for everything. This was not something that Chen Zong should consider. It was also not something that Chen Zong could control.
"The current Heavenly Sword Mountain can no longer be compared to before the ancient war," Tian Jianzi said with a long sigh.
Before the ancient war, Heavenly Sword Mountain had an Ultimate Great Saint Realm expert. That was when Heavenly Sword Mountain was at its peak, and it was famous throughout the world.
However, that Ultimate Great Saint Realm expert left and entered the void of the universe to explore. Many years had passed, and no one knew if he had fallen or something else, but he never returned.
Although Heavenly Sword Mountain did not have another Ultimate Great Saint Realm expert after that, there were still top Half-step Great Saint Realm experts in every generation. They could be ranked among the top Half-step Great Saint Realm experts in every generation. Their strength was amazing, and the Heavenly Sword Principle that they inherited was terrifying and mysterious.
Although there were very few successors in the Sky Sword Mountain and it was simply insignificant compared to other sects, the ratio of powerhouses was astonishing. At the very least, every successor of the Sky Sword Mountain would become a top Half-step Great Sage powerhouse in every generation.
However, after the ancient war, all the successors of Heavenly Sword Mountain died in battle, causing Heavenly Sword Mountain's orthodoxy to be cut off. It was only after the ancient war that someone obtained the inheritance by chance and reopened Heavenly Sword Mountain.
However, the inheritance was no longer complete.
"The Heavenly Sword Principle is divided into two parts. The upper part is the foundation, and the lower part is the essence of Heavenly Sword Mountain." Tian Jianzi said with a solemn expression, "I used the upper part in my battle with you not long ago. However, the lower part was lost in the ancient war."
Chen Zong was shocked.
The Heavenly Sword Principle inheritance that Tian Jianzi used had amazing power, but it was only the upper part. It was really amazing.
However, on second thought, although the Heavenly Sword Principle that Tian Jianzi used was not weak, it was a little too simple. It was normal that it was only the foundation part of the upper part.
"My master, who was the previous Tian Jianzi, searched many times and flipped through various ancient books and finally found some clues." Tian Jianzi's expression became more and more solemn, "In the ancient times, every Tian Jianzi would be buried in the same place after they died. It was called the Ancient Heavenly Sword Tomb."
"After over a thousand years of continuous searching, my master finally found the location of the Ancient Heavenly Sword Tomb. He entered it alone, wanting to find the complete inheritance of the Sky Sword Way and revive the Sky Sword Mountain. Unfortunately, the Ancient Heavenly Sword Tomb was too dangerous. Not only did my master fail to find the lower half of the Sky Sword Way, he even died there."
Chen Zong vaguely understood the purpose of Tian Jianzi's invitation.
"I have inherited my master's last wish. One day, I will revitalize Heavenly Sword Mountain. Now, my cultivation and strength have reached a limit, and there is no possibility of a breakthrough. Unless I find the lower part of the Heavenly Sword Principle and practice the complete Heavenly Sword Principle, I can go one step further and become a half-step Great Saint expert. There is hope to revitalize Heavenly Sword Mountain and repeat the glory of the ancient times." Tian Jianzi had a solemn expression on his face. His eyes shone with an extremely bright light, containing a great ambition and will.
"It's just that the Ancient Heavenly Sword Tomb is too dangerous, and half-step Great Saints can't enter it. Therefore, I can only look for a Saint Realm partner."
"Originally, I was waiting for the Dragon Wave Sword King and the Profound Light Sword King, but unfortunately, after so many years, their strength hasn't improved. If they enter the Ancient Heavenly Sword Tomb rashly, their lives will be uncertain."
"This time, Jiandi came from the east, and he is stronger than this old master. He is the best choice for this old master to travel with him. Therefore, this old master is shameless enough to invite him." Tian Jianzi stared at Chen Zong with sparkling eyes, full of hope and expectation. He continued, "The Ancient Heavenly Sword Tomb is the burial place of Heavenly Sword Mountain's experts. I don't know how many years have passed, and I don't know how many experts' corpses are there. However, this old master is sure that there are many inheritances in it. This old master only needs the Heavenly Sword Principle inheritance of Heavenly Sword Mountain. As for the other inheritances, Jiandi can take as much as he can. They all belong to you."
Chen Zong didn't answer immediately, but his heart was beating fast.
