At first, no one believed what they were hearing. The Sword World being no more? Hahahahahahaha.... What could anyone do to something which existed for thousands of years?
But, as time went on and more and more of those who were inside the Sword World kept on coming out with clear panic in their eyes while saying the same thing, those False Immortal experts began thinking that maybe they were speaking the truth.
Adding onto this, those on the outside began seeing signs of the space crumbling through the portals that everyone was using to escape.
Therefore, they could only wait until everyone had exited the Sword World before asking everyone about what it was they witnessed on the inside.
Like this, within a few minutes of the first one coming out all of the remaining ones also came out.
Except for Jian Shen himself, and those who ended up losing their lives inside the Sword World, everyone else had exited the Sword World.
Still, those False Realm experts and the others only had interest in the normal ones and not Jian Shen.
After all, in their minds Jian Shen had a such a powerful backing that even if something happened to him they would take care of it.
So, once the portals stopped randomly appearing all around the skies of the Sword Island, the False Realm experts ignored the wishes of everyone else and had all those who had entered the Sword World gather in one place.
This was when they began questioning all of them together about every single thing they had seen inside the Sword World.
One by one everyone explained how they had passed through the golden gates and entered the Sword World and everything they did once inside the Sword World.
In fact, there were those few who kept on focusing too much in the details, while a few others were constantly exaggerating the details.
Still, all of the False Immortals that were doing the questioning could see through which facts were true and which were fake.
In this way, just as the constant questions were being answered, and everyone began considering that those who hadn't left the Sword World were already dead a huge spatial slash opened up in the same place where the golden door had been at.
Seeing this, everyone turned alert and some even assumed defensive stances to whatever it was that was coming out of it.
After all, the destruction of the Sword World had already put everyone on the edge. And with someone possibly coming out of the Sword World that was destroyed, everyone could only assume that whoever stepped outside that spatial slash was the one who was responsible for everything that happened.
Being responsible for the Sword World being destroyed, one could only guess how strong the one who did such a thing would be.
Was it possible one of those legendary demons? Or maybe someone from the higher realms that interfered?
Just thinking of the various possibilities was making all of the False Immortals so scared that couldn't help but gulp and unconsciously take a step back.
What walked out of the spatial slash however wasn't anyone that looked even a little terrifying but rather it was someone that all of them were familiar with.
The very one who received a special entrance slot, Jian Shen.
But how was he able to come out so late? Shouldn't the Sword World already be destroyed by now? Also, why was hie cultivation in the Genesis Realm?! The Sword World had never been considered as a place to achieve breakthroughs in cultivation.
And that sword in his hand, it was so terrifyingly powerful.
Yup. Unlike the Myriad God Sword and the Sword of Despair which were too strong for anyone to even grasp a little of their true strength, the Imperial White Tiger Sword's strength was just within the range of letting even those in the Mortal Realm know how strong it actually was.
Just looking at the dull grey colours sword made everyone feel as if the space around them was in its control.
So strong!
Along with these thoughts, every one of the False Immortals were filled with greed as they wanted to possess it at all costs.
After all, if they managed to ascend to the Divine Realm while possessing such a strong weapon, their safety was definitely guaranteed until they could grow stronger.
And even if they couldn't use the sword to defend themselves, they could exchange it with some strong force for their personal protection.
Therefore, for an instant there almost every one of them had forgotten about the fact that Jian Shen was literally untouchable inside their heads.
Luckily enough, none of them went forward to make a move on Jian Shen. Because what he did next was something that shocked then to their cores.
And if they had stepped near him, they would've been turned into ashes for sure.
...
Once he left Sword World, Jian Shen who had realized that there was nothing else he needed to do in the Mortal World decided that maybe it was time he ascended.
After all, with the Imperial White Tiger Sword in his hands, Jian Shen could just split the spatial boundary between the Mortal Realm and Divine Realm making a path for him to ascend.
But, if he went ahead and did that, it would be impossible for him to ever enter the False Immortal Realm, therefore Jian Shen decided to first break into the False Immortal Realm and then go through with the ascension.
Also, it looked like this was also what fate had planned for Jian Shen because there were no sub realms in the Genesis Realm which meant that anyone in the Genesis Realm could attempt a breakthrough into the False Immortal Realm as long as they bore with the heavenly tribulation.
So, what Jian Shen needed to do now was summon the heavenly tribulation and make it strike him.
The more number of times he could bear with the tribulation, that much stronger he would be in the False Immortal Realm.
