Chapter 1927: Chapter 1930: Interrogation and Investigation
The Sea Sword Emperor’s swordsmanship in those years was unparalleled among the sea clans, which is why he merged Sword Dao with sea clan martial techniques, creating the swordsmanship of the Sea Sword Sect.
Chu Fengmian vaguely felt that the Sea Sword Emperor’s swordsmanship had reached the pinnacle, capable of impacting the Sword Dao Origin.
In terms of Sword Dao, it was enough to be on par with the former life of Chu Fengmian.
However, in this life, Chu Fengmian, reborn, has far surpassed his former life in understanding Sword Dao, and has comprehended the secrets of the Sword Dao Totem, delved into the incomplete swordsmanship, and grasped the threshold of Sword Dao Origin.
In his understanding of Sword Dao, Chu Fengmian has completely surpassed his previous life and entered a whole new level.
If Chu Fengmian wished, after death, he could transform into a statue with such power.
The statue before them wasn’t sculpted by anyone but was formed by the Sea Sword Emperor after death, so even after so many years, it still possesses such Sword Intent.
Ordinary disciples of the Sea Sword Sect, upon entering this great hall, would be oppressed by this Sword Intent to the point of being unable to breathe.
Of course, Chu Fengmian felt nothing, calmly standing in the hall.
"Sect Master, the Fourteenth Young Master has been brought."
Several Law Enforcement Elders entered and spoke to the depths of the hall.
"Facing this Sword Intent without changing color, not a hint of panic, impressive, I didn’t expect such a person to appear in the Sea Sword Sect."
A figure suddenly appeared in front of the statue, an elder feeling neither aura nor Sword Intent.
Yet Chu Fengmian’s gaze carefully examined for a moment before seeing the small humanoid body of the elder concealed incredibly powerful strength, astonishingly profound.
Although Chu Fengmian could tell the elder was still at a half-step Heavenly Human Realm, his overall strength was on a par with Yue Wuheng and the Mad Dragon Emperor.
If the elder wished, he could, like the Mad Dragon Emperor, transcend the Heavenly Human Tribulation anytime, become immortal, and step into the Heavenly Human Realm.
Chu Fengmian knew this elder was the mysterious and inscrutable Sect Master within the Sea Sword Sect.
"First Yue Wuheng, now another Sect Master of the Sea Sword Sect, I wonder how many powerful figures like this are hiding in the Canghai Star Region. Although there are few Heavenly Human Realm figures on the surface, in reality, they are all concealed."
Chu Fengmian pondered quietly looking at the elder.
Both Yue Wuheng and this Sect Master of the Sea Sword Sect can step into the Heavenly Human Realm whenever they want.
They don’t choose to transcend the Heavenly Human Tribulation for their purposes, not because they cannot transcend.
Speaking of which, there are not many strong Heavenly Human Realm figures evident in the Canghai Star Region, easily counted on one hand.
But now, upon seeing Yue Wuheng and the Sect Master of the Sea Sword Sect, Chu Fengmian realized there may be more strong individuals like them, suppressing their realms, unwilling to transcend the Heavenly Human Tribulation.
Calling these individuals Heavenly Human Realm strong isn’t entirely incorrect.
Chu Fengmian initially thought he only needed to be wary of the Linjian Sea Emperor within the Sea Sword Sect.
But now, if the Sect Master of the Sea Sword Sect were to confront him, it would be extremely difficult for Chu Fengmian to defeat him, only able to retreat intact.
Chu Fengmian had always underestimated the Canghai Star Region, as it is a second-level continent; its overall power is distinctly different from third-level continents like the Dalotian and Canglong Star Regions.
Chu Fengmian’s current strength cannot yet roam freely within the Canghai Star Region.
"Hai Shisi, it’s said you recently obtained the Ancient Sea’s opportunity, causing your strength to soar?"
The Sea Sword Sect Master suddenly spoke as he directed his gaze toward Chu Fengmian.
This gaze seemed to want to see through everything about Chu Fengmian.
Chu Fengmian knew it was the Sect Master’s probe.
A force like the Sea Sword Sect would never allow outsiders to mix into the sect; they would definitely ascertain identities thoroughly.
Thus, upon returning, every disciple of the Sea Sword Sect would have their identity inspected.
Chu Fengmian, disguised as "Hai Shisi," had a rapid growth in power, surely raising suspicions, but this time, the Sea Sword Sect Master himself came to investigate.
As soon as the Sect Master of the Sea Sword Sect started probing Chu Fengmian’s identity, the few Law Enforcement Elders beside also began to concentrate their Spiritual Power, staring intensely at Chu Fengmian.
Any trace of resistance from Chu Fengmian, they would attack directly, striking him down.
However, Chu Fengmian was well-prepared, having already hidden all his various encounters and Dragon Clan bloodline, leaving only the power of Hai Shisi and the Sword Intent of the Sea Sword Sect swordsmanship.
"Indeed, it’s the Sword Intent of the Sea Sword Sect, seems you indeed received an opportunity to possess such strength."
The Sea Sword Sect Master, after probing, slowly spoke.
"Step down, from now on, primarily serve the Sea Sword Sect, the next Sect Master position will certainly be yours."
The Sect Master of the Sea Sword Sect said a sentence, drawing a large cake for Chu Fengmian.
Only Chu Fengmian faintly felt the Sect Master’s words weren’t entirely sincere, as if with other intentions.
However, Chu Fengmian wasn’t a disciple of the Sea Sword Sect; his purpose here was solely for the Sword Dao Totem.
Naturally, pretending not to notice, after expressing gratitude, Chu Fengmian transformed into Tunneling Light and directly exited the hall.
"Sect Master, how was it? Is this Hai Shisi not an outsider disguising and infiltrating the Sea Sword Sect?"
After Chu Fengmian’s departure, a Law Enforcement Elder approached with an inquiring look.
"Hai Shisi’s sudden surge of strength was too rapid, causing these Law Enforcement Elders to suspect him of being a fake."
After all, for a person to have a tremendous change in ability within a short period is remarkable.
"No, Hai Shisi’s Sword Intent is indeed that of the Sea Sword Sect; strength can be feigned, but Sword Intent cannot."
The Sect Master of the Sea Sword Sect said in a deep voice.
"Moreover, this person surely bears the Ancient Sea aura, indicating he indeed went to the Ancient Sea and acquired opportunities."
"Ancient Sea opportunities, it’s said those able to enter the Ancient Sea and survive become well-known figures of the future; indeed, Hai Shisi is fortunate."
Another Law Enforcement Elder changed his tone suddenly, revealing a sinister glance, "Then this Hai Shisi is even better than Hai Changge as a physical vessel?"
