Chapter 1323 - 1309: The Truth

As more people entered.

Soon.

The tension in this palace grew stronger because many acquaintances started to gather into small groups, forming alliances that posed an immense threat to the other scattered individuals.

In the face of this situation.

The scattered individuals naturally became more vigilant, wary of each other, fearing a siege.

Aside from the small groups.

There were also the righteous and demonic factions.

The righteous and demon factions naturally couldn’t stand together, so the scene had become completely divided, with everyone suspicious and restrained.

Everyone noticed the figure on the throne.

Sword Monarch!

Their corpse, unchanged after a thousand years, likely held the legacy on it.

"Waiting like this is meaningless. We’re just wasting time in various ways. According to me, it’s better to discuss a solution. Delays bring changes, and who knows if there are self-destruction mechanisms within this hall. If unexpected changes occur, there won’t be time to react."

At this moment.

A man carrying a long sword, with half white half black hair, suggested.

As an Elder of Celestial Sword Mountain, Feng Dulan was eager to learn the legacy of Sword Monarch; delays weren’t favorable for him.

According to the information.

The major reinforcements of Taiyi Sword Sect, Star Shining Sect, and Jiujie Hall were heading here.

This place.

Was the true site of Sword Monarch’s legacy.

Various major sects would spare no cost to obtain Sword Monarch’s legacy, so they continued to send reinforcements here, while Celestial Sword Mountain’s forces were trapped elsewhere and couldn’t rush over now.

Thus.

Dragging things on now.

Wasn’t beneficial to Celestial Sword Mountain at all.

Besides Feng Dulan from Celestial Sword Mountain thinking this way, many from the demon faction also thought to promptly open the final legacy.

Concerning the high-end forces present.

For the righteous sects, their high-end forces were quite formidable.

But once external reinforcements arrived.

Competing in numbers would become extremely uncomfortable.

The righteous sects undoubtedly had far more people than the demon faction.

The demon faction started to urge the righteous sects.

Seeing.

The situation was at a deadlock.

Everyone finally decided to attempt Sword Monarch’s legacy.

Several people approached Sword Monarch’s corpse.

However.

Upon reaching five meters from the corpse, they were repelled by terrifying Sword Qi, their clothes now filled with sword marks, as if they had walked through a life-and-death situation.

Sword Monarch’s corpse.

Even after countless years, still contained such terrifying Sword Intent and Sword Momentum!

Completely overwhelming.

Impossible to approach.

Suddenly.

The hall began to shake, as if their approach triggered certain mechanisms within the hall, or activated arrangements left by Sword Monarch.

The floor cracked open.

Several jade pillars rose from the ground, emitting a faint light, with images appearing within.

These were Memory Stones.

They are commonly used in the Immortal Cultivation Realm for preserving images. Memory Stones have a limit on how long they can preserve images, and once that duration passes, the stored images disappear.

Thus.

The longer a Memory Stone preserves an image, the more precious its value.

How to say it.

Just these few Memory Stone pillars are worth a fortune.

The four Memory Stone pillars each displayed different scenes.

Showing Sword Monarch cultivating.

Showing Sword Monarch battling enemies.

Quite chaotic.

Like a fleeting recap of a life, briefly and rapidly reviewing Sword Monarch’s life, finally freezing on the image of Sword Monarch sitting on the throne.

At that time, Sword Monarch.

Though his aura was vast like an ocean, it was clear he had declined in his twilight years, his bodily functions deteriorating.

A hero in twilight indeed.

Suddenly.

A feeling of timeless desolation swept through the cultivators’ minds.

Mighty figures like Sword Monarch, undefeated in hundreds of battles, ultimately succumbed to time, their lifespan ending, brilliant cultivation reduced to illusion, becoming a mere wave in the river of time.

Without becoming immortal.

Everything turns into nothingness.

At this time, the imagery on the four jade pillars completed, suddenly emitting light, merging to form a massive image.

Like watching a giant screen movie.

In the image.

Sword Monarch dressed in white, still seated in the hall, except then he was still alive, visibly declining but still quite normal.

At that moment.

Sword Monarch on the throne spoke: "Welcome to my palace, everyone."

He rested a hand against his temple, leaning on the chair, saying, "By coming here, you prove you passed my tests, although my tests weren’t complicated, even somewhat simple, but congratulations on reaching here. This proves you aren’t that stupid..."

Such words from Sword Monarch.

Truly hard to listen to.

Everyone was quite displeased.

However.

In this palace, Sword Monarch indeed had the right to say such a thing.

In the image.

Sword Monarch chuckled: "You’ve come here, presumably for my legacy. Indeed, I’ve left my Sword Dao legacy in this palace, along with the secret of my undefeated battles.

This secret.

I will tell you.

It will cause turbulence in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, yet I was already dead then, and what does this Profound Origin Realm have to do with me?"

In an instant.

Sword Monarch’s words made everyone perk up, their Spirits highly tense.

Regarding the secret of his undefeated battles!

This... that he would reveal it.

Sword Monarch paused momentarily, then spoke in a deep voice: "Why was I invincible among peers, why was I unafraid even of Ascension Realm cultivators? Ultimately, it’s because you are too weak!"

Instantly.

Everyone felt the impulse to hack Sword Monarch to death.

Such nonsense.

This guy’s superiority complex was too strong!

Though.

The next sentence made everyone’s hearts explode.

"Or rather, your Profound Origin Realm is too weak, you cultivators are too weak. Your Profound Origin Realm is merely the Lower Realm; why do those who ascend never send back any messages? Because upon ascending, they just enter another cage.

Profound Origin Realm.

Is merely a small world for training.

I.

Come from the Bone Boat, from what you call the Upper Realm. Indeed in your terms, I should have another title, the Evil Demon Beyond the Heavens... hahahaha, you’re nothing but a bunch of pigs being herded."

Sword Monarch laughed.

His laughter was wild and unrestrained.
