Eternal Reverence

“You said you were a disciple of the Sacred Saber Sect?”

Inside a fiery red maple leaf forest, there was a manor here where Li Fuchen resided. Right now, in a pavilion at the center of the maple leaf forest, Li Fuchen and Yan Qingwu were drinking tea and appreciating the scenery together.

After knowing that Yan Qingwu was a disciple of the Sacred Saber Sect, Li Fuchen let out a bitter smile.

The Saber Emperor Chu Kuang and the Sky Gaze Saber Saint were also from the Sacred Saber Sect.

The Sacred Saber Sect was one of the top 10 sects in the Deep Blue Plane and had a long history of powerful influence.

Yan Qingwu nodded, “That’s right. I am not only a disciple of the Sacred Saber Sect, my Yan Clan is also one of the seven major clans of the Sacred Saber Sect. It is unfortunate that I cannot return to the Sacred Saber Sect and my clan for now.”

She currently possessed memories of two lifetimes, but there was no use to tell others about such things and the others might not believe her completely.

Li Fuchen said, “I feel that it will not be too late for you to return to the Sacred Saber Sect after progressing into a saint.”

Only by possessing great strength would one be able to convince others. It was too difficult to convince anyone with weak strength.

“You are right.”

Yan Qingwu was also planning to return to the Sacred Saber Sect after cultivating into a saint.

…

In a flash, half a year passed by and it was time for the Swordsmen Guild’s elder selection.

In the garden of the Swordsmen Guild headquarters, the Mystic Deep Sword Saint turned and smiled to Li Fuchen, “The Deep Blue Plane has a total of nine high-class continents. Only our Swordsmen Guild is able to travel to other high-class continents wouldn’t teleportation arrays.”

“Is it because of the Sword World?” Li Fuchen asked.

“You are very clever.” The Mystic Deep Sword Saint nodded, “The Sword World has nine entrances and they are also nine exits. However, it isn’t that easy to find the exit to another high-class continent. Let’s go then.”

The Mystic Deep Sword Saint opened the entrance to the Sword World and entered together with Li Fuchen.

It wasn’t just difficult to find exits to other continents, it was basically impossible.

The Sword World was massive and borderless, most importantly, it was hard to identify the direction in the Sword World. Even Li Fuchen would be like a blind person in this place, he could only rely on his intuition.

It was fortunate that the Mystic Deep Sword Saint could sense the exit to other high-class continents and had been moving straight in the correct direction.

After an entire month, the Mystic Deep Sword Saint finally stopped. His complexion was rather pale and he had a bitter smile.

Traveling in the Sword World wasn’t an easy task. Forcefully entering the Sword World before it was the natural opening time would expend a lot of mental energy. If the Mystic Deep Sword Saint was only a low-level saint, it wasn’t possible to reach the destination.

“We are here.” The Mystic Deep Sword Saint waved his hand and a token flew out.

Soon enough, the hazy Sword World appeared with a sword-shaped door of light.

On the other side of the door, there was a huge peach forest. There was a law aura that was as complete as the Saint Spirit Continent but also had a trace of difference.

Swish!

The duo exited the Sword World.

The peace forest was very big and it was almost 10,000 hectares, furthermore, it was within the prosperous main city which had expensive land.

Only the Swordsmen Guild could be so luxurious.

In the center of the peach forest, there was a small plaza. In front of the plaza was a palace with ancient beauty and appeal.

“This is the Swordsmen Guild headquarters of the Saint Soul Continent’s Sky River City!” The Mystic Deep Sword Saint gave an introduction to Li Fuchen.

“Saint Soul Continent!”

Li Fuchen naturally heard of the names of all nine high-class continents, but this was his first time coming to the Saint Soul Continent.

There were plenty of people waiting at the plaza. Li Fuchen took a glance to see that half of them were saints while the other half were from the youth generation like him.

“Mystic Deep Sword Saint, you are here.” A gray-haired middle-aged man called out.

The Mystic Deep Sword Saint laughed and said, “I didn’t visit for the past 150 years. It is about time for me to visit.”

Not every elder selection would have nine participants. Normally, without any astonishing talent or heaven-defying strength, the nomination wouldn’t qualify. The Mystic Deep Sword Saint and the two other sword saints already had some hesitation if they had to nominate the Sword Emperor. Of course, even if Li Fuchen didn’t appear, they would still nominate the Sword Emperor, after all, the latter did qualify, but there was just a trace of hesitation.

Only Li Fuchen’s appearance didn’t give them any hesitation.

“It is fine to come and have a look. Since you are destined to come for a show.” A handsome young man smiled as he spoke.

Over ten meters to the left of the gray-haired man, there was a handsome young man and a tender youth.

“Tyrant Extreme Sword Saint, don’t talk too soon, or you might be the one to shame yourself in the end.” The Mystic Deep Sword Saint looked at the handsome young man after speaking.

The handsome young man might have great looks and a tall figure, but his title was very dominating and was called the Tyrant Extreme Sword Saint. He was extremely powerful and even among the mid-level saints, he was part of the elites.

“Alright, alright, we haven’t seen each other for so many years. Why bicker as soon as we meet?” The one speaking was a beautiful middle-aged lady. She had a sword-shaped hairpin on her hair.

“Haha, I, the Sky Dipper Sword Saint is here.” There was a clear voice that echoed through the peach forest.

Everyone looked towards the source of the voice. There was a sword-shaped door of light and a white-faced man walked out together with a small lolita.

When seeing the white-faced man, the Tyrant Extreme Sword Saint’s face flashed with a trace of battle intent.

The Sky Dipper Sword Saint was recognized as the no.1 mid-level saint in the Deep Blue Plane. His strength allowed him to battle with people above his level and could contest with top-class high-level saints.

As for the others, they could only contest with regular high-level saints.

“Sky Dipper Sword Saint, why did you bring a lolita with you?” The gray-haired man mocked.

The Sky Dipper Sword Saint raised his brows, “She has broken through to this cultivation level a little early, therefore, she just looks young. Of course, as compared to the others here, she is indeed much younger. But I am certain that she will obtain the main elder position.”

“Those are some big words, why are you so certain?” The Tyrant Extreme Sword Saint sneered.

The Sky Dipper Sword Saint let out a mischievous laughter, “Because she has innate sword heart.”

“Innate sword heart… what? Innate sword heart?”

Everyone was flabbergasted, even Li Fuchen was shocked.

Innate sword heart meant that she was born with the sword heart. What kind of sword dao talent was this?

In ancient times, the universe had legends saying that people with innate sword hearts would have a chance of becoming gods.

“Something isn’t right! I remember the ancient records saying that people with innate sword hearts would be encircled with innate sword qi. Normal people might not feel the innate sword qi, but it is impossible for us not to feel it.” The beautiful lady asked with a suspicious tone.

Everyone came back to senses after hearing the statement.

They were certain that this lolita didn’t have innate sword heart. With their cultivation as mid-level saints, it wasn’t possible for them not to sense the innate sword qi. Since they couldn’t feel it, then it meant that she didn’t have the innate sword heart.

“Haha.” The Sky Dipper Sword Saint scratched his head shyly and said, “The innate sword heart I am saying isn’t the same as the innate sword heart that you people understand. She automatically condensed the sword heart at the age of 8. That is also considered innate sword heart right?”

“Considered nonsense.” The gray-haired man was speechless.

The innate sword heart meant to possess the sword heart at birth. The lolita might have automatically condensed the sword heart, but it was still posterior and they had entirely different meanings.

“Don’t waste time on insignificant details. It is already very incredible for Xiaowen to condense the sword heart at the age of 8. Might I ask how many individuals in the universe had done the same?” The Sky Dipper Sword Saint sounded very haughty.

“That is true.” The gray-haired man nodded.

Condensing the sword heart at the age of 8 was something that he didn’t dare to imagine. Even if such a person didn’t have any chance of becoming a god, there was a chance to become a half-god.

Everyone had a change in expression as they looked at the lolita.

“Condensing the sword heart at the age of 8 might be incredible, but my nominee has innate sword body.” The Tyrant Extreme Sword Saint said something shocking.

“Innate sword body.” The Mystic Deep Sword Saint’s eyes contracted.

“What is innate sword body?” Li Fuchen asked the Mystic Deep Sword Saint.

The Mystic Deep Sword Saint explained, “Innate sword body means that the body innately contains sword patterns. Furthermore, it isn’t regular sword patterns, but innate sword patterns. It allows one to cultivate sword dao with ease and progress rapidly. Moreover, the body would be very tough like a weapon. If the innate sword heart is a chance to become god, then the innate sword body is destined to become a dictator in the universe. It is just inferior to innate sword heart.”

Li Fuchen understood the explanation. The innate sword body was similar to the sword essence, but it was much superior.

The sword patterns in the sword essence were posterior sword patterns, furthermore, it was just sword patterns contained in the bone marrow. It wasn’t comparable with the entire body containing sword patterns.

It wasn’t hard to imagine that even having the same cultivation level and sword dao level, a person with the innate sword body would have power that was far greater. After all, the sword patterns gave a direct boost to the sword arts.

“It seems like I cannot underestimate anyone.”

Li Fuchen admitted that he underestimated the vastness of the world. He had heaven-defying fate, but it didn’t mean that others didn’t have heaven-defying talent or fate.

In such a short period of time, he had already heard of two heaven-defying sword dao talents, who knew if there were others.

Now that the Sky Dipper Sword Saint arrived, everyone was here.

This time, there were a total of five participants in the elder selection. The four other continents didn’t have any elder nominees.

Apart from Li Fuchen, the four others were, the lolita Pei Xinwen who came with the Sky Dipper Sword Saint, the tender youth Qin Luo who came with the Tyrant Extreme Sword Saint, the red-clothed young woman Zhuge Yihua who came with the beautiful lady, and the short youth Wei Yijian who came from the gray-haired man.

Pei Xinwen condensed the sword heart at the age of 8, Qin Luo possessed the innate sword body, Zhuge Yihua and Wei Yijian weren’t inferior too. They had both condensed the sword heart and had high levels of sword dao.

“That’s right, Mystic Deep Sword Saint, you have yet to introduce this young man beside you?” The gray-haired man suddenly asked.

“Is it because he has nothing much to show off?” As the Sky Dipper Sword Saint was teasing, he sized up Li Fuchen.

“Mm?” But as soon as he took a glance, he hated that he made that statement earlier.

The Mystic Deep Sword Saint smiled, “There is nothing much to introduce, he merely defeated a low-level saint. That’s all.”

The Mystic Deep Sword Saint already knew that Li Fuchen defeated the Scarlet Python Saint, furthermore, Li Fuchen even managed to escape to Wind Cloud City while getting chased by the Gray Wolf Overlord. It was enough to prove many things.

“What?”

Everyone looked at Li Fuchen and it felt like they wanted to see him from the inside out.

Defeating a low-level saint at the Law Phase Realm wasn’t a normal matter. It was a sky-shaking matter. In thousands of years, no one saw a Law Phase Realm emperor defeating a low-level saint before, at most a low-tier demonic beast overlord.
