The title 'Number One Expert in the Desolate Land' wasn't something that could be obtained so easily. If one did not have enough power to support him, who would dare to call themselves that, and they would soon have an even more powerful cultivator to teach him how to be a good person.

With this title, Tang Huan believed that his name would quickly spread throughout the entire world, and he would be even more famous than ”Pure Yang Sword Sect”.

His voice paused slightly as he looked at Tang Huan with a face full of smiles, his eyes filled with hope. ”Among the many disciples that have entered the Forging God Great World this time, there are a total of ten who have broken through to the Nihility God Stage, but only you and Ying Luo are able to step into the Nascent Profound Realm.”

”Tang Huan, in another half a month, our Pure Yang Sword Sect will hold a 'Hidden Sword Grand Ceremony' in the Hidden Sword Mountain, deciding the position of Sword Sovereign. Swordsmen under fifty years of age and disciples of the Golden Sword can participate, I hope you can give it a try at that time.” Xi Yi stroked his beard and laughed.

”Swordlord?”

Tang Huan was startled.

The so-called 'Sword Sovereign' was actually the Young Sect Master of the 'Pure Yang Sword Sect'. Once Xi Yi abdicated his position, the 'Sword Sovereign' would immediately succeed Xi Yi and become the 'Pure Yang Sword Sect' 's new Sect Master. Of course, if the Sect Master had a satisfactory candidate, he could also nominate the person to be the Sword Sovereign.

However, the ”Sword Sovereign” that was decided through the ”Hidden Sword Ceremony” was much more convincing and respected than the ”Sword Sovereign” that was directly appointed. As a result, unless there was an extremely special situation, any previous ”Pure Yang Sword Sect” sect master would not normally use this method to decide on a successor.

”This old man's cultivation has been stuck at a standstill for many years. It'll take four to five years at the very least, or ten years at the most. I'll head to the Heavenly Mystery Region and I won't be able to delay the selection of the Sword Sovereign any longer.” Xi Yi sighed lightly, and said: ”Tang Huan, this year's Hidden Sword Grand Ceremony, I hope that the one who will win will be you.”

”Grand master, you think too highly of me.”

Tang Huan laughed helplessly, ”Within the sect, there are many swordsmen, and their strength surpasses mine in uncountable numbers. With my cultivation that has changed at the Profound Opening Realm, it's impossible for me to obtain the position of Sword Sovereign.” Most importantly, Tang Huan did not have the slightest bit of interest in the position of Sword Sovereign.

To Tang Huan, ”Pure Yang Sword Sect” was the same as ”Tiger Clan”, they were both just relay stations along the way. If the time came, he would leave this place.

Although the position of Swordlord represented both status and glory, it also represented a promise. Once the Sword Sovereign ascends to the throne of the [Pure Yang Sword Sect], he would be tied up with the Pure Yang Sword Sect. It would be difficult for him to leave in the future, unless he could find a suitable new Sword Sovereign.

”Tang Huan, you worry too much.”

Xi Yi laughed involuntarily, ”The Hidden Sword Ceremony is not only a competition of strength, but also of potential. If you only look at your abilities, you can just call the strongest people to a fight. Why did you call both Ying Luo and you here, and allow all the disciples of the Golden Sword to participate as well? ”

Tang Huan felt stifled by his words, but soon after, he shook his head and laughed bitterly, ”Sect Master, I wish to leave the Yan Yang City to travel to various parts of the Forging God Great World. I will be setting off in at most half a year. If you truly become a 'Sword Sovereign', you probably won't be able to carry out the duties of a 'Sword Sovereign' in the future. ”

What Tang Huan said was half true, and half false. It was true that he wanted to leave, but not during his travels. What he wanted to do was to find the whereabouts of his mother, Shan Shan and the others.

”Tang Huan, you don't have to worry about this, not to mention the Sword Sovereign, even if you really become the Sect Master of the Sword Sect in the future, if you don't want to take care of the sect's daily affairs, you can just hand it over to the seven Great Elders. You can still go wherever you want to. Moreover, becoming the Sword Sovereign will also be beneficial for your travel through the Forging God Great World. There are teleportation arrays between every province, and as long as you can pay a sufficient price, it will be much more convenient with your status. Otherwise, you won't even be able to enter the sect that holds the teleportation arrays.

”Oh?”

Tang Huan's mind was moved, if that was the case, then competing for the position of 'Pure Yang Sword Sect' as the Sword Sovereign did not seem to be harmful.
