Chapter 1023: Seven Swords Advancement

“I originally wanted to say that it is your wishful thinking. However, thinking about it, I should give you some face. Your words might be possible but give me a reason. Since I have a chance to leave three to five of you here today, then why must I let you off?”

At this point, the entire area around the 31st layer was extremely intense.

Everyone was silent and no one dared to speak. All their expressions were really ugly.

That was until two scoffs broke the silence. It was Kunming who finally couldn’t take the suppression from the Will of the Heavens as he fell down from the 31st layer.

Following closely behind was Dong Zhongsu who also couldn’t take it anymore. That suppression forced him back down to the 28th layer.

“Leave three to five of us. When did Brother Xiuguan start saying such preposterous words?”

Qingxuan still spoke up, he was really calm, “Whether your Junior Nephew could grasp the God Refined Sword is a whole other matter. Even if he did become the Sword Master, even if we fight to the death, both sides will suffer huge losses...”

Before he completed his sentence a laugh spread out. It was like a silver bell and was filled with a cold mocking intent, “Fight to the death? Both sides suffer heavy losses? We will only know about that after the battle. If you die here, then even if the entire Vast Habitat is destroyed, we will willingly do so.”

Qingxuan’s expression turned serious as he glanced over. Only to see that it was Lin Yuanjing.

With a new core, this woman walked out from that Illusionary Golden Pagoda. Her eyes were filled with killing intent as she stared over coldly.

Not only did she have nothing to say to him, with the hatred from Xi Zi’s death and also the debt to pay for him attacking the Common People’s Vast Habitat twice.

To say that the entire Common People’s Path from top to bottom hated him to the bone was the truth.

If they had a chance to kill and seal Qingxuan then they would definitely be willing to pay any price.

If they fought to the death, the first person to die might be the head of the Taoist Faction.

Seeing Qingxuan having nothing to say, Yuanjing burst out into a laugh and then looked away.

“Didn’t you say that you were going to correct Cloud World history books such that from now on there wouldn’t be Common People Path, there would be no Xi Zi and Xiuguan? Why aren’t you speaking anymore?”

The moment those words were spoken, all the more there wasn’t a reply. Yuanjing laughed coldly and felt really relaxed.

Before this, she was forced by the few End Realms to the point that the sect was about to be wiped out, hatred, and rage amassed to the extreme in her chest.

She wasn’t someone who was magnanimous, the gentle kind of girl that everyone liked. She was really petty and would definitely take revenge. Even after stepping into the End Realm, her personality didn’t change much.

Now that she had a chance, naturally she was going to vent it. Moreover, half of the people here were enemies of Common People Path!

“There was also someone who said that he wanted to destroy and scatter the soul of my Senior Brother and seal him. Why aren’t you speaking now?”

Taishi’s face turned purple, he didn’t retort. In the end he scoffed coldly, “How sharp!”

At this moment, 60 breaths had passed and there weren’t any changes on the 18th layer purple gold pagoda.

Xingya and Kunming relaxed. If this was the maximum from Tanqiu, then at most, they would be able to leave safely just by sustaining some light injuries.

Yuanjiang’s cultivation was only below that of Taishi. His eyes lit up, shaking his head with a mocking smile, “Your Common People’s Path shouldn’t have such high hopes. He still can’t pick up that sword. Maybe in a few dozen or hundred years, this disciple might be able to grasp this God Refined Sword.”

Zhu Zi looked on, his hand playing with his beard as he sighed, “There seems like there is a need to use King Path Energy to wash the sword body...”

Qingxuan’s expression regained calm once more, he smiled and didn’t say a word.

He could also see that not only did the sword need King Path Energy, it also needed a huge amount.

In the Cloud World, apart from the Great Shang Ruler, probably onto those two who had expanded to dozens of world in the outer region had enough...

However, for some reason, his chest jumped. It caused his brow to frown, he kept feeling like he had missed out on something.

He looked forwards. Xiuguan stood with his arms by his side, the killing intent still didn’t disperse. His aura became even more terrifying, it had gathered for a long while and was just waiting to explode.

Yuanjing also kept silent, many needles floating out from her sleeves as they floated around.

She was like a bowstring which was pulled tight, similarly, she was waiting to strike.

The other two, Dragon Shadow and Lin Xuanshuang were acting similarly.

Like they were just waiting for that opportunity to attack.

While Qingxuan was feeling terrified, he was also shocked. He didn’t know where the confidence of the few of them came from.

Just as all the eyes and Spiritual Sense within the Vast Habitat looked over onto him, Zong Shou looked at the sword in his hand and was hesitating.

Zhu Zi could sense that this God Refined Sword needed King Path Energy to wash the sword body to break the seal. As half a Master of it naturally he could sense it too.

...If he really did that, then his identity would be totally revealed.

From then on, he wouldn’t be able to break away from his relationship with the Common People’s Path.

It was time for the Nameless Sword Spirit in the God Refined Sword to rush him.

Zong Shou thought about it and then he sighed.

Since things had reached such a stage, there was actually no need for him to hide his identity anymore. He was also unwilling to disappoint the few seniors here.

More importantly, he would definitely not give up the chance to kill these few enemy End Realms.

If he missed this chance, then who knows how much of a price Common People’s Path and he had to pay to kill and seal all of them.

If the End Realm didn’t die, with just one as the enemy, he wouldn’t be able to fall asleep. Much less nine of them.

He didn’t hesitate, his Spiritual Sense crossing billions of miles of the void and connecting to the Avici Throne. He also crazily spread out towards the Tianfang World to draw King Path Energy over towards this place.

That second soul used its thick King Energy to inject right into the body of the sword.

Instantly, that Golden Pagoda shook. The hand that Zong Shou used to grab the sword tightened.

“Today, I swear on my position as Great Gan Ruler to use this sword to protect people of the Cloud World to not be bullied by alien races and there won’t be the crisis which occurred during the Cloud Desolate Era...”

Before he finished his oath, a purple gold rainbow streaked across the sky. From all around, it gathered on Zong Shou’s body and into the God Refined Sword.

The body of the Golden Pagoda rose up from the ground once more.

With his hand holding the sword he noticed a change right away. His control of the entire Common People’s Sword Formation became more complete.

The Will of Heaven and Earth that he could utilize didn’t increase by much but he was able to control it more. If before he could only use 50%, then now it increased to 70% and it was still continuously increasing.

He didn’t have time to think about others. He didn’t hesitate as he tried to use the God Refined Sword to improve the structure of the formation. He adjusted and fixed the Energy Meridians within the formation and also straighten out that abundant spiritual energy.

He then felt the sword body in his hand ring once more, light spreading 10,000 feet as it resonated along with the other six Sword Artifacts.

“This is? Did they advance?”

Zong Shou was stunned. A full breath later, he confirmed that the God Refined Sword in his hand was climbing towards the God Treasure level.

Not only the one in his hand, the other six Common People Sword Artifacts were the same!

However, the process of this God Refined Sword was much simpler than the other six. It pretty much didn’t face any obstacles and easily stepped through that threshold.

The most direct change was that the gathered Will of the Heavens was also crazily expanding.

Zong Shou instantly took in a deep breath. This was the first time he confirmed that the God Refined Sword in his hand had the ability to advance into a God Artifact. And not like today where it just relied on the power of the spiritual formation.

His heart calmed down and he knew that he and the Common People’s Path had victory in their hands today!

His heart slowly calmed down and he looked out into the clouds.

Once the Sword Formation formed, he would definitely kill the Taoist Faction three Saints!

At this moment, there was another uproar in the Vast Habitat.

“Zong Shou, he is the Great Gan Ruler Zong Shou?”

“He isn’t Sword Emperor Tanqiu?”

“Was the Blood Sword Monster Lord and Sword Emperor Tanqiu the same person?”

“What! The southeast overlord, top heir of the Sky Burning Lu Family, Great Gan Celestial Ruler who had occupied dozens of worlds outside is actually our Common People’s Path disciple?”

“The Heavens giving rise to phenomenons in agreement to his oath. This is most probably true and there is no way to fake such things...”

“If it is really him then this is really the blessing of our Common People’s Path. This Country Ruler was able to sweep past the Cloud World unrivaled a few years ago!”

“Haha! Our Common People’s Path second-generation direct disciple is actually the Gantian Ruler, Southeast Overlord. His oath gives rise to Heaven Signs. It is obvious that the Heavens recognize our path of equality!”

Those words were thunderous. The people at the 31st layer were silent once more.

No one spoke, they just exchanged glances with one another and communicated with their eyes.

Zhu Zi’s face was especially ugly, devoid of blood. His gaze was uncertain and was filled with rage.

Great Gan Country Ruler Zong Shou, how is it him? This Ruler dared to rule in such a weird and preposterous manner. He was actually so bold to join the Common People’s Path? Wasn’t he afraid the Confucians would revolt and make him the enemy of the world?

He wanted to say that but he stopped himself.

If everyone here went all out and fought to the death then they might have a chance in this battle.

However, looking at the expressions of the people around, they didn’t even have any fighting spirit at all.

In the next moment, Qingxuan suddenly spoke up, “Cultivators, we still have a chance in the future, we will leave!”

The moment he said this, his body left his spot and into one of the cracks in space.

He was really decisive and did so without any hesitation at all.

The other people weren’t slow either. They all understood that if they didn’t go now, were they really going to wait until those Seven Swords truly merged and all advanced?

Zhu Zi sighed and followed close behind.
