Chapter 436 – The Unfettered One! (1/2)

The Sword Sect’s Founding Ancestor?

Yang Ye was slightly dazed as he gazed at the ethereal old man in midair who carried a sword on his back. Yang Ye had heard too many legends about this strongest expert in the entire southern territory and even the entire continent 10,000 years ago, and he hadn’t expected that he would lay eyes on the Unfettered One himself. Even though it was only a wisp of the Unfettered One’s soul!

The first impression he had of the old man was domineeringness, unparalleled domineeringness. Even though the old man’s figure was ethereal, he seemed like a mountain range as he stood there, and his entire body emanated a faint imposing aura that was suffocating!

After the old man appeared here, there was a short moment of confusion in his eyes, but it wasn’t long before his gaze cleared up. His gaze moved downward and swept through everyone outside Sky Hall before he shook his head and said, “I’d expected that the Sword Sect would fall into decline 10,000 years later, but I never expected it would be to such an extent!”

Su Muzhe felt a wave of shame, and he was just about to speak when Yuan Tian suddenly spoke coldly. “You’re the Founding Ancestor of the Sword Sect?”

The old man glanced at Yuan Tian before he said, “A mere ant at the fifth rank of the Monarch Realm is actually on the verge of destroying my Sword Sect. How pitiful.”

Su Muzhe felt even more ashamed when he heard this.

“An ant?” Yuan Tian spoke with a ferocious expression. “Unfettered One, I admit that we would definitely not be a match for you if your main body was here. But you’re just a wisp of soul right now. No matter how strong you are, how strong can a soul without a physical host be?”

“Exactly!” Meanwhile, Ghost King spoke in a cold voice. “Unfettered One, legends say that you were extremely domineering all those years ago and never wasted your breath on anyone. Presently, we intend to destroy your Sword Sect, so based on your past temper, you should have just raised your sword and struck us down. Why have you been wasting your breath after you made an appearance here? Could it be that….”

“You talk too much!” The Unfettered one suddenly interrupted Ghost King, and then he flicked with his finger, causing a strand of sword qi to shoot violently towards Ghost King!

Ghost King’s pupils constricted, and he was just about to resist. However, right at this moment, the strand of sword qi suddenly sped up explosively. It transformed into a ray of light that pierced through Ghost King’s shoulder, and then his entire right arm flew off into the air.

“Hail the Founding Ancestor!” The disciples of the Sword Sect were first stunned when they witnessed this scene, and then they cheered and bowed to the Unfettered One. Moreover, they revealed heartfelt smiles from surviving a calamity. There was nothing more delighting and joyful than seeing hope in a time of despair.

At this moment, Yang Ye was in deep thought. Because while that attack the Sword Sect’s Founding Ancestor executed earlier seemed like a strand of sword qi, it really wasn’t. After all, the Sword Sect’s Founding Ancestor was in Soul Form right now, so it was utterly impossible to gather the energy within the heavens and the earth. If it was impossible to gather the energy within the heavens and the earth, then how was that attack executed? But if it wasn’t a strand of sword qi, then how exactly was it executed?Could it be that besides the Sword Domain, Sword Intent, and Enlightened Sword Heart… there’s another method to cultivate in the Sword Dao?

The members of the Sword Sect were cheering while Yuan Tian and Yu Linglong had solemn expressions instead. But in next to no time, their expressions had eased up because the Unfettered One’s soul have grown even more ethereal and translucent!

Ghost King’s expression was extremely ferocious after having his arm chopped off. Even though he was astounded by the strength of the Sword Sect’s Founding Ancestor, he felt even more embarra.s.sment and rage. Because a dignified Master of a sect like him had actually almost died at the hands of a wisp of a soul from 10,000 years ago. Even though it was a wisp soul which belonged to the strongest expert in the last 10,000 years of the southern territory’s history, it was still an extraordinary humiliation!

“Unfettered One, how many times can you execute such an attack without a physical host? Why don’t you execute it one more time, and I won’t resist it, alright?” Ghost King roared madly with laughter.

The Unfettered one glanced coldly at Ghost King, and then his gaze swept towards the members of the Sword Sect outside Sky Hall and said, “Those who have comprehended the Sword Domain or Sword Soul, take a step forward!”

The disciples of the Sword Sect were stunned. They were utterly unaware of what the Sword Domain was. Su Muzhe shook his head and laughed bitterly.

Yang Ye was stunned amidst the crowd. Could it be that the Sword Sect’s Founding Ancestor requires someone who has comprehended the Sword Domain to host his soul? Right, what’s the Sword Soul?

The Unfettered One frowned when he saw no one step forward, and then he said, “Those who possess the Enlightened Sword Heart, step forward!”

At this moment, the members of the Sword Sect understood their Founding Ancestor’s intentions, and after they came to an understanding, all the disciples of the Sword Sect including Su Muzhe felt extremely ashamed.

Su Qings.h.i.+ looked over at Yang Ye, and Yang Ye instantly felt quite troubled when he noticed it. He naturally knew what Su Qings.h.i.+ meant, but truthfully speaking, he really didn’t have like the Sword Sect at all and didn’t want to lend it a hand. Moreover, he didn’t dare to allow to host the Unfettered One. After all, what would he do if the Unfettered One noticed the tiny vortex?

However, how could he possibly bear to refuse a request from her?

Right when he was conflicted and troubled, the Unfettered One’s brows had knit together even more tightly in midair, and he said, “Those who have comprehended Sword Intent, step forward!”

Su Muzhe sighed lightly. He went forward and bowed to the Unfettered One before he said, “Founding Ancestor, no one in the entire Sword Sect has comprehended the Sword Domain, the Sword Soul, the Enlightened Sword Heart, or Sword Intent.”

The Unfettered One shook his head lightly when he heard Su Muzhe, and then he said, “I never expected that after I established this sect all those years ago, it would have actually fallen to such decline 10,000 years later!”
