Therefore, even though he knew that he could not fight against the two of them alone, Ke Tianxing still did not choose to back down.
For the cultivators of Spirit Sword Sect, their main focus was being powerful.
It was just that although you are powerful if the other party is also a powerful person, you could only fight head-on.
Hence, Gu Qiuyue and Chi Ziyu from the Secure Star Sword Domain increased the power of their Dharma Idol.
Even though the two of them didn’t fight, they had already reached the Apotheosis Stage of the Emptiness Realm. To a certain extent, their divine soul had become part of the will of the heavens.
Every word and action, even if it was just emotional fluctuations, could cause changes in the surrounding environment.
Therefore, although the two of them only had a slight emotional fluctuation, the surrounding sky began to flash with lightning and thunder. The clear sky turned into a lightning tribulation.
“Hold on, hold on, this is my Heavenly Fierce Star. If you attack here, are you going to make me report you to the Sect Leader?”
Gu Qiuyue and the other two lowered their heads at the same time and saw Song Zheng, who had already flown to the centre of the three Sword Masters. Song Zheng, who was only at the peak of the Apotheosis Stage, felt immense pressure from the three Ethereal Stage powerhouses.
However, Song Zheng knew that he was the only one who could resolve this crisis.
If he really let these three fight here, then even if his Fierce Star Sword Domain did not shatter, it would definitely be terrifying.
The strength of one Ethereal Stage was already so terrifying, let alone with three of them.
Hearing that Song Zheng had used the Sect Leader of Spirit Sword Sect as a shield, Gu Qiuyue and the other two finally regained some rationality.
That’s right, although ultimate sword cultivators were all iron-headed people who would rather break than bend, there was another truth among them, and that was that strength reigned supreme.
When their strength was inferior to the other party, sword cultivators were still very willing to listen to the reasoning of the stronger party.
As for the strength of the Sect Leader of Spirit Sword Sect, even if he wasn’t the strongest in the entire sect, he would at least be above the Sword Masters of the thirty-six Big Dipper Sword Domain.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to convince the masses.
This generation’s Sect Leader of Spirit Sword Sect had once challenged the Sword Masters of all thirty-six Big Dipper Sword Domain, and his record was all thirty-six victories.
Song Zheng couldn’t convince the three of them, but it would be different if he mentioned the Sect Leader.
Thus, the three of them let out a muffled groan and dispersed their Dharma Idols.
Then, perhaps due to some kind of tacit understanding, the three of them flew out of their respective vehicles and arrived in front of Song Zheng.
Among them, Ke Tianxing was the first to say directly, “Song Zheng, tell me what’s so special about the rare innate sword body you mentioned.”
Although Gu Qiuyue and Chi Ziyu didn’t say anything, it was obvious from their expressions that this was what they wanted to know.
After all, the three of them had only received the Photographic Stone Song Zheng had given them. The Photographic Stone couldn’t record things like sword intent and Daoist Rhythm.
They had a certain understanding of Lu Yuan, but not much.
But even so, just what they had learned before was enough for them to take action.
Song Zheng was only at the peak of the Apotheosis Stage, so there were some things that he could not see through.
However, the three of them were different. Not only were they in Ethereal Stage, but they were also the cream of the crop among the Ethereal Stage cultivators.
Naturally, Song Zheng’s horizons were incomparable.
In Song Zheng’s eyes, Lu Yuan was just a rare Innate Sword Body that only appeared once in a thousand years.
However, the three of them could see many unusual things from the photographic stone.
Lu Yuan might not be as simple as an ordinary Innate Sword Body.
They had seen many things from Lu Yuan’s immortal sword that Apotheosis Stage cultivators could not.
In their own words, Lu Yuan’s immortal sword was filled with traces of Dao.
They didn’t think that the change in Dharma Idol was acquired by Lu Yuan.
This was because they did not believe that there was anyone so talented that not only could he understand so many ‘Daos’ at the Nascent Soul stage, but could also use them on his Dharma Idol.
Not to mention that they knew that Lu Yuan was less than 400 years old.
Not to mention 400 years old, even 4,000 years old cultivators might not be able to comprehend so much and so deeply of the Faoist Rhythm on the immortal sword.
Therefore, they all felt that this was the innate Dao Rhythm of the Lu Yuan’s Dharma Idol.
With so many profound Daoist Rhythms, it would be many times easier for Lu Yuan to cultivate the Apotheosis Stage as compared to ordinary people.
The essence of cultivating the Apotheosis Stage was actually to thoroughly understand a certain Daoist Rhythm and then let one’s divine soul become a part of the Daoist Rhythm in a certain sense.
To achieve this, the cultivator was no longer a physical body but could attain an illusory will of heaven and earth.
Every move he made had earth-shattering power.
Theoretically speaking, Daoist Rhythm was actually a choice.
Unlike the Core Formation Stage and Nascent Soul Stage, the more one knew about Daoist Rhythm, the more difficult it was to break through.
The method of breaking through from the Apotheosis Stage to the Ethereal Stage was similar to these two stages, but there were also differences.
This was because to break through from Apotheosis Stage to the Ethereal Stage, one only needed to reach a certain level of comprehension of a certain Daoist Rhythm.
Lu Yuan’s Dharma Idol had grasped so many Daoist Rhythm, which meant that he had already solved a very troublesome problem for Apotheosis Stage cultivators, which was to choose which Daoist Rhythm to use as their source of power.
Theoretically speaking, the Daoist Rhythm of the heavens and earth treated all cultivators equally. Cultivators could learn any Daoist Rhythm they wanted.
However, there were specializations in every field. Everyone had different levels of understanding of different Daoist Rhythms.
It is not easy choosing a Daoist Rhythm.
There was a saying that there were three thousand ways of the heavens and countless smaller Daos.
Whether you used the big or small Daos to cultivate the Apotheosis stage, the difference could be said to be vast.
Not to mention a big Dao, even a Small Dao would be difficult to comprehend without a thousand years.
Although they couldn’t tell whether the Daoist Rhythm on Lu Yuan’s Dharma Idol were big or small Dao, they knew that Lu Yuan had already crossed the most difficult step of refining the Apotheosis Stage, which was the choice of Dao.
With his own Dao, coupled with the talent that Lu Yuan had displayed so far, this guy was not an existence that was at the beginning stage of the Apotheosis stage as Song Zheng thought.
He was actually a monster who was at the start of the Ethereal Stage!
This child had the Ethereal potential!
On this point, Gu Qiuyue and the others knew that it was definitely not just the three of them who had seen through it.
The other sword masters must have seen through it.
However, due to various reasons, they did not choose to make a move in the end.
After all, it was a good thing that he had a powerful Apotheosis Stage cultivator under them.
However, if a powerful Ethereal Stage cultivator appeared, the situation would be completely different.
This was because if the other party was dissatisfied with the current situation and prepared to climb to a higher position, they only had two choices.
One was to leave the Sect and go to the land of chaos to find new opportunities.
The other one was like Gu Qiuyue and the others, choosing to become a Sword Master of Spirit Sword Sect.
If Lu Yuan chose the second path, wouldn’t he be a potential competitor for the current Sword Masters?
To put it simply, ordinary Sword Masters might have felt that they would not be able to suppress Lu Yuan, and in turn, get suppressed by him.
Although the thirty-six Big Dipper Sword Domains were not divided into levels.
But in reality, some Sword Domains were at a huge disadvantage in terms of resources compared to others.
Otherwise, how could a big Sect like the Spirit Sword Sect not have thirty-six Ethereal Stage cultivators?
It was all because some people looked down on the resources in those few Sword Domains.
They felt that it would be better for them to head to the land of chaos to search for opportunities instead of guarding these Sword Domains.
It could be said that among the thirty-six Big Dipper Sword Domains, only twenty are valuable.
These twenty were the Sword Domains with the most abundant resources and the most complete inheritances.
That was why the Sword Masters who dared to come here despite knowing that Lu Yuan was at the start of Ethereal Stage were all great existences.
They had the confidence and courage to reach a higher position before Lu Yuan broke through to the Ethereal Stage.
Or perhaps they felt that even if Lu Yuan broke through, he would not be a threat to them.
This was also why only the three of them were present.
Of course, there were Five Sword Masters who agreed to come.
However, the other two Sword Masters had seen Gu Qiuyue and the others who had appeared here.
Knowing that they had no advantage over the situation, the two of them left decisively.
Sword cultivators indeed wouldn’t give in easily, but at the same time, they also knew how to assess the situation before them.
The so-called straightforwardness was not looking for torture.
If one knew that he had no benefits out of something and still foolishly came over to join the party, it wasn’t his straightforwardness, it was self-torture!
