Chapter 149 - And Forms A Whole New World (1/2)
“Have I passed the trial?”
Zhou Xuanji asked as he stared at the Hegemon Sword Emperor.
I hope that the Hegemon Sword Emperor is not as bored as the Sky-sundering Sword Emperor, who set up dozens of stages in his trial.
“Not yet.”
Zhou Xuanji was rendered speechless by the Hegemon Sword Emperor’s reply.
“I already defeated you when you were at the same stage as me. What is it that you are still worried about?”
If I were you, I would have handed over the inheritance!
“There is only one more stage remaining. And that is to impress me.”
The Hegemon Sword Emperor continued to speak with an upright tone.
Zhou Xuanji blinked and did not speak.
“Let’s begin. Use your mastery over the Sword’s Way to impress me!”
“…”
Zhou Xuanji did not speak. He silently looked at the Sword Emperor.
A million vulgarities went through his mind.
If all he had to do was to talk, what was the previous stage for?
At that moment, the mirage world was totally silent.
On the outside.
The red-robed old man said with a smug tone, “Why did it stop? Is he already dead inside?”
The hill stopped shaking. The calmness was frightening.
Xian Xianghua looked calm, as though she was indifferent.
None of the sword cultivators she brought in before could come out alive, so she did not know about the second stage.
She thought that when the hill stopped shaking, it signaled the end.
But she could still sense Zhou Xuanji’s Qi-signature.
This guy is not dead yet!
Lin Changge quietly looked at the hill, deep in thought.
“Oh, no… It’s the end…”
Chongming Demon Monarch sat on the ground with a blank expression. His hands wrapped around his agonizing face.
If Zhou Xuanji were to die, then he would follow suit for sure.
Even if Xian Xianghua did not kill him, he couldn’t leave Juedi Cliff alive.
…
In the mirage world.
A while later.
The Hegemon Sword Emperor could not hold it any longer and asked, “Why aren’t you speaking yet? If the trial fails, I will kill you.”
“I have already defeated you, so why is there still a need to talk? Is this the mindset of Nine Emperors of the Sword’s Way?”
“A senior in the Sword’s Way is purposely making things difficult for a junior like me.”
“If you are not happy about this, no matter what I say, you will not acknowledge it. What do you want me to do?”
“Are you fooling me?”
Zhou Xuanji’s ingenious words were shot at the Sword Emperor one after another.
He did not make his words too unbearable but shaped his own image like someone who was bullied.
He did not want to die.
“Not so,” the Hegemon Sword Emperor replied, “If you can really show some unique insight, the inheritance will be yours.”
Zhou Xuanji breathed out.
It’s time to perform his true techniques.
My Sword’s Way is the way of 10,000 swords. One sword slays man, two swords sever evil. 100 swords kill the wicked spirit, 10,000 swords sever cause-and-effect. A million swords forms creation.”
“Everything will pass away, but only the eternity of the sword will always remain.”
“Huge trees grow from small shoots. A tall tower is built from accumulated soil. A journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step. One sword and one will, 10,000 swords overlap 10,000 wills, and forms the Great Thousand World.”
Zhou Xuanji let his tongue loose and began exaggerating as he pleased.
He really knew how to put up an act. He really looked like a grandmaster in the Sword’s Day. His intonation varied, and he had the right emphasis when it came to an eye-catching point.
The Hegemon Sword Emperor listened silently.
Zhou Xuanji’s voice reverberated across the entire mirage world.
A long while later.
Zhou Xuanji took a deep breath and felt very pleased about his speech.
However, the Hegemon Sword Emperor did not speak.
This made his heart skip a beat. Did I overdo it?
* It shouldn’t be?*
He took a reference from the ancient wisdom of Huaxia. Could it be that the Sword Emperor did not fancy such words?
“10,000 swords overlap 10,000 wills and form the Great Thousand World… And form the Great Thousand World…”
