At Ten Thousand Swords Peak, Taiyuan the Great wielded a common branch, sweeping it through the sea of clouds, parting them with invisible, vast Sword Qi that spanned a thousand zhang.
A streak of flowing light descended, and the True Martial Sword returned to its sheath as Lu Changsheng appeared.
"Master's swordsmanship truly rivals the divine."
Reaching the pinnacle of the ninth layer of the Dao Palace Realm, on the cusp of stepping into the Void Refinement Realm, Lu Changsheng felt ever more profoundly the immense power of Taiyuan the Great.
Taiyuan the Great had reached the realm where there was no sword in hand, yet a sword existed in the heart, able to cast vast Sword Qi a thousand zhang wide even with an ordinary branch.
"Changsheng, have you come to comprehend the myriad sword inscriptions?"
"Disciple is about to undergo Tribulation and seeks Master's guidance, as well as Master's protection during the process."
