Chapter 899: Chapter 398: Sword Immortal (2)
But.
The Silver Light Iron Sword in Xu Ran’s hand was the first sword wielded by the Sword Immortal.
At that time, the Sword Immortal had only one focus, and that was to practice swordsmanship.
The entire Sword Dao, with the purest intent, resided in this Silver Light Iron Sword.
The earliest Sword Immortal practiced swordsmanship purely out of obsession. After acquiring the Silver Light Iron Sword, he held it every day and night, even sleeping with it.
The pure Sword Intent of a child, containing immense power, was extremely formidable.
After the Sword Immortal obtained the [Immortal Sword Skill] from the Innate Sword, he sealed his purest Sword Intent within it.
Though no one knows what exactly happened then, everything was done for this moment.
For Xu Ran to perceive its hidden implications and find the way to pass through.
Suddenly.
The three senior brothers and sisters stared enviously at Xu Ran in the dueling arena!
That was an opportunity left by the Sword Immortal!
Who is the Sword Immortal?
The first being since the birth of the Origin Realm, a title that is not an exaggeration.
Just one point.
Comprehending the [Immortal Sword Skill] from the Innate Sword, no one could rival him on just this alone!
Moreover, the Silver Light Iron Sword in Xu Ran’s hand had always been by the Sword Immortal’s side, even if it was just an ordinary iron sword made of Profound Iron.
Yet, over the long years by the Sword Immortal’s side, the iron sword made of Profound Iron had transformed, becoming an unassuming Divine Soldier!
It appears unassuming because it’s just an iron sword made of Profound Iron.
However, its sharpness and sturdiness are no less than those Divine Soldiers created from peerless divine iron.
Other Divine Soldiers are sharp and hard thanks to their materials.
But the Silver Light Iron Sword?
That is because the Sword Intent of the Sword Immortal adhered to its blade.
Can any Divine Soldier in the world surpass the Sword Immortal’s Sword Intent?
The answer is no!
Even the Nine Nether Cold Sand from the Endless Abyss could not break its defense before the Silver Light Iron Sword; it would even be shattered by the Sword Intent attached to the iron sword!
...
In the dueling arena.
Xu Ran held the Silver Light Iron Sword, staring intently at the strange posture of the bald figure.
At this moment, the bald figure was like a seed growing vigorously.
But.
This seed was a strangely shaped Human Bone Rusted Sword.
Moreover, in a moment, this Human Bone Rusted Sword had absorbed all the dark red mist that originally filled the dueling arena!
Yet, the bald figure showed no signs of stopping.
"Is it absorbing the Sword Intent within the Human Bone Rusted Sword?"
Xu Ran focused on the bald figure and asked aloud.
Right now, the bald figure was surrounded by a sharp Sword Intent. Even Xu Ran, with the physical power of the Great Success Innate Saint’s Sacred Body, would be sliced to pieces if he got close.
"What, getting impatient already?"
The bald figure saw Xu Ran’s expression and mocked.
As the Gatekeeper, it was his duty to use all means to prevent the trialist from advancing further.
However, being privy to the plan, his greatest hope was to see if the trialist could quickly find a way to pass.
For a moment.
The bald figure found himself in a dilemma!
This child, not even two years old, was the first genius to appear at this gate since the Nine-Layered Giant Tower came into existence.
Moreover, he exhibited endless divine techniques and methods, with top-tier mentality and observational skills!
Such a genius was whom they had waited for over countless ages!
If Xu Ran couldn’t withhold this sword, their entire plan might be for naught!
Thinking of this, the bald figure shook his head quickly.
"No, this gate must be this way; if one can’t pass, then they are not the chosen one!"
The bald figure shook his head, clearing his mind, and fierce resolve appeared in his eyes once more.
"This Sword Immortal, although praised as the first of the Origin Realm, didn’t cut any slack; how could such a narrow-minded person cultivate Sword Dao to this level?"
At this moment, the bald figure did not conceal his voice but shouted loudly, as if venting dissatisfaction.
To be precise, venting his dissatisfaction towards the Sword Immortal.
You must understand.
The existence of the bald figure predates even the Sword Immortal.
He appeared when the world first opened, before the wisdom of all things truly awakened.
Even if his power might not match the Sword Immortal, he was an indispensable part of the plan of the Nine-Layered Giant Tower.
Moreover, his identity was crucial.
Even if the Sword Immortal were reborn, standing before the bald figure, he dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction!
While trialing, Xu Ran heard the bald figure’s sudden angry shout that had nothing to do with him and was a bit bewildered.
The only related thing was the trial.
"Hearing the bald figure’s words, this trial seems to be set by someone called the Sword Immortal?!"
Xu Ran began to speculate from the bald figure’s few words!
However, he knew too little information. Being born in the Great Wilderness Border Village, he knew virtually nothing about the Origin Realm, finding it utterly confusing.
Such was Xu Ran.
But.
The three senior brothers and sisters familiar with Origin Realm history were shocked to their core, continuously trembling like a tidal wave after hearing the bald figure’s words.
The bald figure’s words seemed to confirm their suspicions.
This trial was indeed established by the Sword Immortal.
Then that pure Silver Light Iron Sword, truly left by the Sword Immortal, made it almost certain to be the way to crack the gate.
"What exactly is this Nine-Layered Giant Tower, that even the Sword Immortal is involved?"
The big senior brother pondered continuously upon hearing the bald figure’s words.
He originally thought.
From the library room of the Nine-Layered Giant Tower, he knew enough.
At least, whenever other junior brothers and sisters sought his guidance, he could answer them immediately.
Among them, he answered questions about extremely rare topics recorded in ancient books.
Fortunately, he had the privilege to enter the library room, earning him the title of "Knowing Sage" from his junior brothers and sisters!
But.
During this Nine-Layered Giant Tower trial, many things he didn’t understand emerged.
Even the existence of someone as strong as the big senior brother felt challenged internally.
Soon after, he cast his gaze toward Xu Ran in the dueling arena.
"Ha!" A sneer escaped, "Seems I caught your luck, hearing such secrets!"
Finishing, he glanced at the bald figure whose aura was steadily increasing in the arena.
"However!"
"How will you pass this trial?"
"Do you know the life deeds of the Sword Immortal?"
"Do you know you’re holding a sword once used by the Sword Immortal?"
"Do you know you’re holding an indisputable peerless Divine Soldier?"
"You... do not know!"
The senior brother fixed his gaze on Xu Ran, suddenly lighting up his eyes.
"However, I believe you can pass!"
...
In the dueling arena.
After the bald figure spat out words Xu Ran couldn’t comprehend.
The remaining Human Bone Rusted Sword suspended in mid-air began to transform from the tip downward into a dark red mist.
As these Human Bone Rusted Swords turned into dark red mist, they surged toward the Human Bone Rusted Sword in the bald figure’s hand.
All were absorbed.
Even.
The largest, towering, first Human Bone Rusted Sword had its carved Sword Pattern slowly dissipate, transforming into dark red mist streaking toward the Human Bone Rusted Sword held by the bald figure.
Now.
The Human Bone Rusted Sword the bald figure raised truly resembled a tireless seed, tirelessly absorbing nutrients.
The Human Bone Rusted Sword was the seed.
The dark red mist was the sunlight!
