Chapter 5123 The Sword Master's Path
The divine swords, including the Tianya Sword, within his body were trembling slightly. In particular, the Nine-Story Dao Tower, which had long since merged with his body, emitted a deep rumble, seemingly resonating with the world around him.
"over there."
Amo pointed to a collapsed main hall in the center of the ruins, "That's the 'Inquiry Platform' where the Sword Master Sister practiced her swordsmanship. It's also the core of the entire Red Robe Palace."
The group headed towards the main hall.
Along the way, broken divine weapons and weathered skeletons can be seen everywhere. Each skeleton was probably a peerless powerhouse who could have intimidated a region in life, but now it can only turn into dust.
Upon arriving at the main hall plaza, one finds the ground paved with a single piece of crimson divine gold, covered with crisscrossing sword marks.
Each sword mark was bottomless, as if etched into the depths of time and space, and even tiny spatial cracks could be seen wandering along the edges of the sword marks.
"Om-"
The moment Su Bai stepped into the square, a sudden change occurred.
In the center of the square, a blurry, unseen figure appeared without warning.
It was the back view of a woman dressed in red. She was barefoot, with long hair like a waterfall, and held an ancient-looking longsword in her hand. She had her back to the world and looked up at the endless void.
Although it was just a remnant image of his will, the domineering aura of looking down on the world and being the only one who mattered still made everyone present feel breathless, as if their souls were about to be crushed by that aura.
This is a projection of the will of a Tai Zhen Realm expert!
In the scene, the woman in red suddenly moved.
She made no unnecessary movements, simply flipping her wrist and swinging her sword.
"cut!"
A crisp yet murderous utterance exploded in everyone's minds.
That sword strike, seemingly ordinary, seemed to sever the shackles of time the moment it was unleashed, causing even the laws of the Great Dao to groan and retreat under its power.
Su Bai felt a blur before his eyes, as if he saw a gigantic hand descending from the upper realm, its size obscuring the sky and the sun. It was neatly severed by that sword, and golden divine blood rained down. Even the world behind that gigantic hand was cleaved in two by that sword!
"Is this... the swordsmanship of the Tai Zhen Realm?"
Jiuzhen stared wide-eyed at the sword shadow. Although he was not a pure sword cultivator, as a practitioner who pursued the perfect Dao, this sword strike had a great impact on him, as if it had opened a door to a higher realm for him.
Su Bai, however, felt it even more deeply.
He was a true master of swordsmanship, and he had even cultivated the Way of Limitlessness, encompassing all laws.
Moreover, his current understanding and mastery of the immortal divine runes, particularly the laws of space and time, has reached a bottleneck. The immortal divine rune intent and laws contained in this sword strike have shown him endless possibilities!
In that sword strike, he saw endless carnage, but also the unwavering dedication to protection.
We witnessed the destruction of the rules, but we also saw the hope of new life.
"From the limitless comes the Taiji, from the Taiji comes the Yin and Yang... The way of the sword is the same. The most complex returns to the simplest, and the most rigid transforms into the softest."
"The way of the sword evolves into the great Dao of the universe, encompassing all things. It can be the supreme law of destruction, or it can contain endless vitality!"
Su Bai murmured to himself. He did not draw his sword, but slowly closed his eyes.
Behind him, a huge black and white diagram slowly emerged.
Within the Dao diagram, the phantom images of the Four Swords of Zhuxian rise and fall, while dozens of immortal divine runes representing different laws flicker and intertwine.
He's performing a legal act!
Using the sword left by the sword master, Su Bai attempted to deeply integrate and sublimate the sword formations, divine runes, and the Dao of Limitlessness that he had learned.
Time seems to stand still at this moment.
After a long while, Su Bai suddenly opened his eyes, and two sharp sword beams shot out from them.
"I see......"
His aura became more profound and restrained. Although his cultivation level did not break through directly, he took a big step forward in his understanding of the Dao.
The image slowly faded away, but the splendor of that sword strike was deeply imprinted in Su Bai's heart.
"Huh? What is this?"
Just as everyone was immersed in the sword intent, Qian Duoduo's voice broke the silence.
He was seen digging at something with his buttocks sticking out in a rubble pit in the corner of the square.
"Don't move! Be careful not to trigger the mechanism!" Luo Yunsheng shouted, but it was too late.
Qian Duoduo pulled a purplish-gold, cracked gourd out of the soil.
"Tch, it's a leaky piece of junk." Qian Duoduo shook it disdainfully, preparing to throw it away.
"Give me."
Su Bai flashed and appeared in front of Qian Duoduo, snatching the purple-gold gourd away.
The gourd was icy cold to the touch. Although it was badly damaged and even the stopper was missing, the moment Su Bai touched it, an extremely familiar and comforting aura flowed into his body through his fingertips.
That is... the Free and Unfettered Sword Intent!
This is also the aura that the Immortal Execution Sword most desires.
It contains the Dao of the Sword Master.
True freedom and unrestrained swordsmanship!
"This is Sword Master Sister's wine gourd!" Amo flew over, and seeing the gourd, tears welled up in her eyes again. "Sister loves this gourd the most. She says it contains not only wine, but also her swordsmanship. She said that after the war, she'll treat everyone to a good drink..."
Su Bai stroked the fine cracks on the gourd, trying to infuse it with a trace of divine power imbued with the power of immortal divine runes.
"call!"
A strong smell of alcohol suddenly wafted out of the broken gourd.
The smell of alcohol did not dissipate; instead, it instantly condensed into an invisible sword light, carrying a drunken yet incomparably sharp aura, and roared out.
"Boom!"
In the distance, an immortal divine mountain, tens of millions of feet high and composed of hard star meteorite iron, was silently and effortlessly flattened by this "wine sword energy," as if it were tofu. The cut was as smooth as a mirror, and even a faint aroma of wine remained on it.
"what--"
Qian Duoduo was so frightened that he sat down on the ground with a thud, his face pale. "What... what kind of hell is this? A wisp of alcohol can flatten an immortal divine mountain of supreme quality? If I drank this, wouldn't it cut my intestines off?"
A glint flashed in Su Bai's eyes as he carefully put the gourd away.
"This gourd contains a trace of the sword master's original Tai Zhen sword intent. Although it is damaged, as long as it is properly nurtured, it will surely be of great use in the future. This is not only a treasure, but also a legacy."
With the wine gourd and the Sword Master's Token, Su Bai felt more confident about his next move.
"Amo, we've explored almost everything here. Where exactly is the entrance to the Human Emperor's Secret Vault?"
Amo wiped away his tears and pointed to the back of the Red Palace, to the area shrouded in darkness where the gravity was terrifyingly strong.
"It's behind there. There's a floating black continent there, which is the Human Emperor's 'Thick Earth Palace'. The coordinates of the secret vault are there."
Su Bai nodded, his gaze piercing through the darkness, looking at the area so heavy that even the void seemed to collapse.
"Let's go. Let's go see the legendary Human Emperor."
