Chapter 923: Sword Master's Legacy
“Junior Brother Zhou, would you like to join me for a stroll near the Liyang Taoist Sect?”
Wan Chong, having been rebuffed, approached Zhou Chao, nudged his arm with his elbow, and asked.
“Boring.”
Zhou Chao subtly moved half a step to the side and responded coldly.
He was utterly obsessed with the Sword Dao, having devoted his entire life passionately to it, practicing day and night. Coupled with his remarkable innate talent, he had managed to reach the Golden Core Late Stage Realm in less than a century.
Regarding the remote Cloud Void Domain, he felt a slight and hardly noticeable sense of superiority.
...
In his eyes, only “Cultivators” whose Sword Path cultivation surpassed his own were worthy of his respect.
Although the Cloud Void Domain housed a great Sect Power like the Liyang Taoist Sect, finding several formidable sword cultivators likely wasn’t an easy task.
Therefore, he had no interest in wandering around here.
It was better to focus on cultivation to surpass Wan Chong, who stood next to him without proper form.
Though there was a semblance of similarity in their cultivation levels, the difference in their talents was not small.
Wan Chong possessed an Innate Sword Body, naturally compatible with various Sword Dao mystical techniques and related treasure items, and also had an exceptionally high understanding, capable of mastering profound Sword Scriptures in a short period.
Such remarkable talent, with just a little time, would allow him to leave behind other disciples, making people like Zhou Chao envious.
During their conversation, the Giant Sword Flying Vessel quickly arrived in front of the grand mountain gate of the Liyang Taoist Sect.

From several miles away, several streams of light sped towards them.
Mo Yuanfeng’s thoughts stirred, and the Giant Sword Flying Vessel immediately halted, waiting for the approaching “Cultivators.”
A few breaths later, the streams of light stopped in front of the vessel.
“I am Xuan Cheng Daoren, welcome to Huanzhen Sword Liquid from Dongxuan Sword Sect, Sword Child Mo Yuanfeng, and a few Fellow Taoists.”
The leader was an old man with a long beard, dressed in a bluish-gray Taoist robe, holding a whisk, with an appearance of a Taoist immortal.
Following him were several Core Formation Daoist priests, who bowed deeply, showing their respect to the True Sword Master and his companions.
“So it is Daoist Xuan Cheng; you are too courteous,”
The True Sword Master, Jian Huanzhen, said with a smile.
Behind him, Mo Yuanfeng and Ge Pu, along with three others, also greeted the cultivators of the Liyang Taoist Sect.
“Please, Sword Master, this way. The Dao Sect will first offer a reception to wash the dust for the Fellow Taoists who have come to participate in the Myriad Spirits Conference.”
“You few, take Sword Child Mo Yuanfeng and these Senior Brothers, arrange a place for them to rest, and bring our guests to explore the Dao Sect.”
Xuan Cheng Daoren turned his head to instruct several Dao Sect disciples behind him.
“Yes! Uncle Master Xuan Cheng!”
A steady-looking young man bowed and replied.
Subsequently, under the guidance of several Dao Sect disciples, Mo Yuanfeng and three others entered a vast mountain range.
“Please, Sword Master, this way.”
The old man with the long beard led the True Sword Master to a majestic palace.
Upon entering the grand hall, dozens of “Cultivators” and living beings were already waiting inside.
Upon seeing Jian Huanzhen, they immediately stood up and greeted him.
Jian Huanzhen himself possessed a Late Nascent Soul Stage Realm, his sword techniques were superb, extremely aggressive, capable of handling several same-level cultivators simultaneously.
Additionally, he was one of the Sword Masters of Dongxuan Sword Sect, possessing countless resources, ranking high in both strength and status among the people present.
Certainly, the cultivators and living beings who could enter this hall all had cultivation realms not inferior to the Mid-Nascent Soul Stage, and if it came to a fight to the death, the outcome was still uncertain.
The people present either had long-standing relationships or had heard of each other’s reputations. Under the facilitation of several Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Liyang Taoist Sect, there was a cordial exchange, creating a harmonious atmosphere at the scene.
Among them, beautiful young ladies intermittently brought over Spirit Fruit Spirit Brew, serving the many Nascent Soul True Monarchs attentively.
“Daoist Friend Huanzhen, here is a rare Fifth Grade Spirit Brew that, when consumed, is said to enable Sword Cultivators to enter the Return to the Origin Realm and comprehend the Sword Path Technique Divine Ability more quickly,”
“It’s quite famous within the Liyang Region. Would you like to try it?”
During the casual conversation, Xuan Cheng Daoren brought over a bottle of Silver Gray Spirit Brew. The surface of the Spirit Brew shimmered with a faint light, seeming to gently sway. However, upon closer inspection, one could realize that the shimmer was not due to the swaying but rather due to extremely fine strands of sword intent.
“Eh?”
Sword Master Huanzhen took the wine cup from the long-bearded elder’s hand, looking at the silver-gray Spiritual Liquid in the cup and revealing an expression of surprise.
“Coincidentally, this Fifth Grade Spirit Brew is named ‘True Sword Liquid,’ which shares some connection with your honorific, Sword Master.”
Xuan Cheng Daoren chuckled lightly.
“What Xuan Cheng does not know is that being a Sword Master in the Dongxuan Sword Sect is a tradition. As long as one holds the position at Huanzhen Sword Peak, one assumes the title of Sword Master Huanzhen,”
“Before me, there were several predecessors whose Cultivation Levels and strengths were above mine.”
“Your True Sword Liquid indeed has a connection with the True Sword Master.”
“The sixth generation True Sword Master once cultivated to the Divine Transformation Realm. During the early stages of his cultivation, he developed this Fifth Grade True Sword Liquid.”
“However, because the brewing of True Sword Liquid is very difficult, it usually takes Nascent Soul Cultivators a significant amount of time and energy to successfully brew it by chance.
After becoming Nascent Soul True Monarchs, they either travel extensively or seclude themselves for rigorous cultivation. Where would they find the time to spend on brewing Spirit Brew? Thus, even within the Sword Sect, it is not easily obtainable.”
A hint of nostalgia appeared on Sword Master Huanzhen’s face.
When he was breaking through to the Jindan Stage, the Sword Sect Master had bestowed upon him three bottles of True Sword Liquid as a reward and also for him to temper his Sword Path Heart using this opportunity.
He had always remembered it in his heart.
However, to his knowledge, inside the Dongxuan Sword Sect, the consumption rate of True Sword Liquid far exceeded its production rate, and it seemed like the stock of Spiritual Liquid within the sect had diminished by more than half compared to before.
“May I know where the Sword Cultivator who brewed this True Sword Liquid is located? Could you introduce me to him?”
He curiously asked the long-bearded elder.
True Sword Liquid had been in existence for many years, and its formula was not of the highest secrecy level within the Sword Sect, so there was a possibility that it had leaked to the outer world.
However, due to the special properties of the True Sword Liquid, only Sword Cultivators skilled in Sword Dao, with sufficient Sword Grass materials, were likely to successfully brew it. Hence, he became somewhat interested and wanted to meet that Sword Cultivator.
“Sword Cultivator? Daoist Friend?”
The long-bearded elder frowned.
“As far as I know, the brewer of this True Sword Liquid is not a Sword Cultivator, nor does he possess Nascent Soul Cultivation, but is a Spirit Plant Master at the Golden Core Late Stage,”
“His mastery in the Path of Spiritual Plants ranks among the top in the Liyang Region. He is also skilled in brewing several types of upper-class Spirit Brews. This True Sword Liquid was purchased from that Spirit Plant Master.”
Xuan Cheng Daoren spoke truthfully.
He was responsible for welcoming and settling powerful cultivators and living beings from the Whole Sky Realm, and the sect disciples had to obtain his approval when purchasing Spirit Brews; thus, he was well-informed about the origin of True Sword Liquid.
In exchanges with other practitioners, he had also learned about Lu Xuan’s profound mastery in the field of Spiritual Plants.
“A Golden Core Late Stage Spirit Plant Master?”
Sword Master Huanzhen looked puzzled.
“Could it be that there is a Sword Dao genius in the Cloud Void Domain?”
“In any case, I must find out more about the origin of this True Sword Liquid.”
He thought to himself, deciding to inquire about the Spirit Plant Master from Xuan Cheng Daoren after their exchange had ended.
