Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 934: Chapter 166: Sword Lake Palace (2)

”Sect Leader Gu, how do you plan to verify it?” Wang Erniu asked curiously,

”By using the Sword Shadow Unification Technique!”

Wang Erniu nodded slightly, stood up,

his mouth opened slightly, and a Sword Pill flew out, transforming into a three-foot-long sword that suddenly hovered in front of him.

”This is... the Geng Metal Sword Pill Technique!”

True Monarch Qingfeng’s face showed surprise, then joy, and his eyes could not hide his excitement.

Wang Erniu’s expression remained unchanged, as he lightly exclaimed,

”Sword Shadow Unification!”

The sword in his hand instantly transformed into numerous light shadows, intertwining and weaving, continually dividing until three hundred and sixty Sword Lights appeared.

The Sword Light emitted a unique rhythm, naturally giving rise to an extremely sharp feeling,

Next, with a light poke of his sword finger, the three hundred and sixty Sword Lights began to slowly merge,

Seeing this, True Monarch Qingfeng’s eyes flashed with a hint of delight and excitement:

”It truly is the Sword Shadow Unification Technique, and judging by this method and realm, it seems to contain the Geng Metal Sword Intent.”

Simultaneously, numerous Sword Lights suddenly appeared, approaching from afar, finally landing in the great hall, transforming into silhouettes of people,

These figures were of various forms, but the one thing they shared was that each bore a long sword,

The leading figure was familiar to Wang Erniu, being the Supreme Elder of Sword Lake Palace he had met before, the renowned Sword Immortal Liuu He in the world today.

He looked at Wang Erniu with a smile, addressing the crowd:

”What do you all think?”

With Liuu He’s question, the great hall immediately burst into discussions, the Elders whispering amongst themselves, marveling at Wang Erniu’s performance.

An elderly white-haired Elder spoke first:

”This child has an extraordinary talent, to integrate the Sword Shadow Unification and the Geng Metal Sword Intent so exquisitely, it’s something I’ve never seen in my life. In my opinion, he deserves the Saint Heir position.”

Another Elder, clad in a red robe, nodded in agreement: ”Indeed, observing his sword skills, the blend of sword and intent, even I fall short. I have no objection!”

However, there were also dissenting voices among the crowd.

A young Elder frowned slightly and said:

”Though Wang Erniu has demonstrated exceptional Sword Dao talent, he is indeed an outsider, and we know little of his past. Is it not too rash to so easily bestow upon him the title of Saint Heir?”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes turned to Liuu He and True Monarch Qingfeng,

Liuu He smiled slightly and looked at Wang Erniu: ”Erniu, what is your opinion on this?”

Upon hearing this, Wang Erniu’s expression turned solemn, his entire demeanor transformed as if into an immense sword piercing the sky, extremely sharp and difficult to gaze upon.

He first looked at Liuu He and spoke in a deep voice:

”Elder Liuu, can the people here be trusted?”

Upon hearing this, Liuu He also put away his expression and nodded solemnly:

”Everyone here is from the core of Sword Lake Palace, all can be trusted!”

Hearing this, Wang Erniu nodded, and revealed the greatest secret hidden in his heart:

”My entire Sword Dao was taught by the ancestor of Sword Lake Palace—the Sword God Liubai!”

With these words, the scene fell into silence,

After a long while, someone finally spoke, but it was with skepticism,

”The Sword God Ancestor has been missing for thousands of years, and yet you, an outsider, claim to have been personally taught by the ancestor? This matter is too bizarre, truly hard to believe!” A black-robed Elder, eyes sharp, was the first to criticize:

Then, the white-haired Elder sighed and said:

”Indeed, according to the scriptures within the sect, after the ancestor’s disappearance, Celestial Monarch Yun Ku, Elder Ji, and others all searched far and wide, yet found no trace,”

”But you claim the ancestor took you as a disciple, it truly is too far-fetched!”

Upon hearing these words, the Elders nodded in agreement,

Liuu Bai has been missing for thousands of years, and with the lifespan of a Nascent Soul Cultivator, one could be born and die multiple times over,

thus to them, the Sword God is more a legend, a symbol of a master, yet Wang Erniu claims to be a disciple of the Sword God,

it would be more believable to say he inherited the Sword God’s teachings.

”Erniu, why don’t you first display the Sword Shadow Unification Technique and Celestial Essence Sword Array for the Elders to observe, how about it?” At this time, Liuu He offered assistance,

”Very well, Elders, watch closely!”

Saying this, Wang Erniu gestured,

the Flying Sword rose into the air,

”Sword Shadow Unification!”

Wang Erniu called lightly, and the sword in his hand instantly turned into numerous light shadows, these shadows intertwined and entangled, continuously increasing in number, and in a moment, seven hundred and twenty Sword Lights emerged.

”Seven hundred and twenty lights, it’s truly the Fifth Layer of Sword Shadow Unification Technique!” The white-haired Elder wore a face full of shock, his eyes somewhat dazed,

It should be known that due to the ancestor’s disappearance, their current Sword Shadow Unification Technique in Sword Lake Palace only has three layers,

and this Third Layer was still derived over many years by countless Sword Cultivators of Sword Lake Palace, yet could only split into fifty-four Sword Shadows,

even this was learned by only a handful of people.

The other Elders, seeing this, also wore expressions of astonishment,

In fact, with just this skill, Wang Erniu was enough to firmly hold the Saint Heir position, but he also had another purpose in coming here,

which was to unite the entire sect and restore the prestige of Sword Lake Palace!

This was also the task given to him by his master Liuu Bai.

Next, Wang Erniu gently pointed his sword finger, and the seven hundred and twenty Sword Lights began to slowly merge, forming back into one,

but Wang Erniu did not activate it, as the spell changed again,

the merging Sword Lights once again split apart along the original path, and after a moment, the seven hundred and twenty Sword Lights once again hovered and danced around Wang Erniu,

all the Elders watched without blinking,

”Celestial Essence Sword Array, rise!”

With Wang Erniu’s command, the seven hundred and twenty Sword Lights scattered instantly, dancing and flying in an extremely mysterious trajectory.

In the blink of an eye, a huge Sword Array slowly formed before the audience’s eyes.

Within the Sword Array, every Sword Light was like a nimble wandering dragon, intertwining and responding to each other, forming a tightly knit barrier of swords.

On the edge of the Sword Array, streaks of Sword Qi crisscrossed, emitting a ”buzzing” sound,

In the center of the Sword Array, a powerful Sword Intent shot upwards, breaking through the clouds, causing the sky to churn and the space to tremble, as if the Dao itself was roaring!

The Elders present were stunned by this scene, having never seen such a powerful and exquisite Sword Array before.

True Monarch Qingfeng’s eyes were full of shock and joy, muttering to himself: ”This... this is the true power of the Celestial Essence Sword Array! With Wang Erniu, how can Sword Lake Palace not prosper!”

Liuu He also couldn’t help but show a gratified smile: ”Erniu, you indeed have not disappointed us.”

”But... but this still doesn’t prove he is the disciple of the ancestor!” The young Elder said somewhat lacking in confidence,

”Hahaha, that is simple!” Liuu He smiled slightly, slowly speaking:

”Before the Sword God Ancestor fell asleep, he left a Sword Intent Clone in the forbidden area of Sword Lake Palace to guard a Secret Treasure concerning the prosperity of our sect,”

”Reaching this Sword Intent Clone can confirm Wang Erniu’s identity.” When these words came out, everyone looked at each other.

True Monarch Qingfeng pondered: ”The forbidden area of Sword Lake Palace has always been accessible only to Sect Leaders, Saint Heirs, and Supreme Elders, and it’s filled with dangers.”

Liuu He’s eyes flashed: ”Perhaps, this is an opportunity for verification. If what Wang Erniu said is true, it may solve the longstanding mystery of Sword Lake Palace.”

”The most important thing, then, is to confirm Wang Erniu as Saint Heir. Do any of the Elders have objections to this matter?” True Monarch Qingfeng asked,

turning his gaze to the others,

The white-haired elder smiled slightly upon hearing this and said:

”Wang Erniu’s talents are unparalleled, and he has brought back the complete Sword Shadow Unification and Celestial Essence Sword Array, who else but him deserves the Saint Heir position?”

The red-robed Elder also nodded:

”Indeed, regardless of the current time, based on this Sword Dao talent alone, aside from the Grand Elder, who among us can match him, I agree with this!”

In no time, many Elders nodded in agreement!

And so, from this moment, Wang Erniu was truly recognized as Saint Heir of Sword Lake Palace, affirming this matter,

True Monarch Qingfeng and Liuu He then led Wang Erniu together towards the forbidden area, while the others stayed outside, waiting for the results!
