For a moment, there was a lot of discussion in the hall:
"Heavens! Sword Twenty-Three is terrifying. The first move alone can pose such a great threat to a terrestrial Celestial Realm cultivator."
"No wonder the Celestial Immortal said that the third move of 'Sword Twenty-Three' is comparable to the attack of a Celestial Longevity Realm expert. This sword technique is no longer an ordinary martial art."
"It turns out that this sword technique was created by the first Sword Saint, Huangfu Jian, who was one of the most famous swordsmen in the Han Dynasty."
"Two hundred years ago, Huangfu Jian was extremely powerful. The Holy Sword Sect he founded almost unified the entire martial arts world."
"In the thousands of years of the martial arts world of the Han Dynasty, the only one who could rival Huangfu Jian was probably the Great Swordsman, the founder of the Sword Sect."
"The Eastern Japanese Dynasty? I've never heard of this country. I didn't expect that there would be experts at the Celestial Realm among alien races."
In the third private room on the east side of the thirteenth floor.
"With a single sword strike, time and space freeze; this is truly the domineering 'Sword Twenty-Three'."
"Huangfu Jian, who created this sword technique, must be an unparalleled master of swordsmanship. I really want to meet him."
Dugu Qiubai sighed.
After hearing these words, he felt even more that the world of martial arts was unfathomable and that he was nothing more than a frog in a well.
Wuming nodded and slowly said:
"Huangfu Jian is indeed a legendary figure."
"In its seven-hundred-year history, the Sword Sect has always held the top position in swordsmanship in the Han Dynasty."
"Only during the decades when Huangfu Jian was active were the Sword Sect suppressed by the Holy Sword Sect he founded."
"It wasn't until Huangfu Jian went mad and died suddenly, and the Holy Sword Sect was wiped out overnight, that the Sword Sect regained its number one position."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Qiubai was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Did Huangfu Jian really die from a qi deviation?"
"This is very strange. There are only some scattered records within the Sword Sect, and there is no news about it in the martial arts world."
"In short, both the Holy Sword Sect and Huangfu Jian disappeared overnight."
Wuming gave a serious explanation.
Dugu Qiubai narrowed his eyes.
He felt that there must be some unknown secret hidden in this.
He couldn't believe that a top expert like Huangfu Jian could die from a qi deviation.
Beside the railing on the fourteenth floor.
Xiong Ba was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and almost wanted to run away.
He never expected that the first move of "Sword Twenty-Three" would be so terrifying, something he simply couldn't withstand.
But he still had doubts, so he stopped and said loudly:
"It's not that I don't believe in the words of the Celestial Immortal."
"But everyone in the martial arts world of the Han Dynasty knows this,"
"Back then, Huangfu Jian made a mistake during his cultivation, which not only cost him his life but also destroyed the entire Holy Sword Sect overnight."
"Later, people from various sects went to check on the Holy Sword Sect, only to find it in ruins."
"Not to mention a living member of the Holy Sword Sect, not even a single book was left behind."
"It can be said that on that night, the Holy Sword Sect and its heritage vanished as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth, completely gone."
"Even if Huangfu Jian really created that move 'Sword Twenty-Three', it's probably long gone by now."
These words immediately garnered the approval of a group of martial arts practitioners.
Huangfu Jian, the first generation of sword saint in the martial arts world of the Han Dynasty, is the only person in thousands of years who can be compared with the great sword master who is the founder of the sword sect. His reputation in the martial arts world is well-known.
Therefore, the fact that he died from qi deviation and destroyed the Holy Sword Sect overnight is almost common knowledge in the martial arts world.
Countless swordsmen lamented this loss, as the once glorious Holy Sword Sect vanished without a trace of its legacy.
But now Tianji Xianren says that Dugu Jian has obtained "Sword Twenty-Three" created by Huangfu Jian, which is really hard for everyone to accept.
Thinking of this, everyone turned their gaze to Bai Yutai, wanting to see how Su Chen would explain.
Su Chen wasn't surprised by Xiong Ba's doubts; he simply smiled slightly and said slowly:
"These are just rumors circulating in the martial arts world."
"The most unreliable things in this world are those rumors from hundreds of years ago."
"Actually, Huangfu Jian did not die from a qi deviation."
"He was destroyed by Heaven on his journey to conquer it!"
"The 'heaven' I'm referring to isn't the 'heavenly realm' behind the Heavenly Gate, but a divine kingdom that's even higher than the heavenly realm."
........................
"More precisely, he is the ruler of the divine realm, the only true god of this world—Haotian!"
The moment those words were spoken, the entire room fell silent.
The maids on the white jade platform, Li Hanyi, and Yaoyue were all stunned.
Huangfu Jian didn't die from a qi deviation, but was destroyed by the heavens?
The existence of the Celestial Realm is no secret in the martial arts world.
Although the number is small, there are clear records of people who have ascended to immortality in the martial arts world of various dynasties.
But there is a divine kingdom above the heavens, something I've never heard of before.
What's even more shocking is that there is a true god in the divine kingdom, and he is the only true god in this world.
Su Chen's next words left everyone even more confused.
Huangfu Jian died on his way to conquer the heavens, killed by Haotian.
Why does Huangfu Jian want to conquer the heavens?
Haotian killed Huangfu Jian, so how strong must he be?
Su Chen only said a few words, but he left countless questions in everyone's minds.
After a brief silence, the people in the hall began to murmur among themselves:
"What? Did I hear that right? Huangfu Jian didn't die from a qi deviation?"
“I just felt something was wrong. How could someone like Huangfu Jian die from qi deviation? That was just a wild guess at the time.”
"That's right! Although there are many rumors circulating in the martial arts world, no one has actually seen how Huangfu Jian died."
“I read this passage in the sect’s records. When the major martial arts sects arrived, they only saw the ruins of the Holy Sword Sect and did not find Huangfu Jian’s body at all.”
"Terrifying! I never imagined there was such a huge secret behind Huangfu Jian's death. He didn't suffer a qi deviation; he died on his path to conquering the heavens!"
"Above the Heavenly Realm is a divine kingdom, and within that divine kingdom are true gods? Is the Celestial Immortal just playing a joke on us? If it's true, that would be terrifying."
"I don't know what the 'true god' that the Celestial Immortal was talking about is, but since Haotian can suppress the Heavenly Realm and kill Huangfu Jian, he must be very powerful."
Chapter 57 Creepy
The fifth private room on the west side of the fifteenth floor.
For the first time, Ye Hongyu showed a serious expression, her eyes fixed on Bai Yutai, and she even held her breath.
Haotian actually exists!
The secret Su Chen revealed made the hairs on her body stand on end.
No one knows the name "Haotian" better than her.
Because the Xiling Temple, from which she came, was a sect that worshipped "Haotian".
"The light will never be extinguished, and the heavens will endure forever!"
This is the motto passed down through generations at the Xiling Temple.
But she never imagined that this "deity" that everyone in the Xiling Temple always talked about actually existed.
Moreover, he is the only true god in this world.
Su Chen took a sip of tea, feeling the intense gazes directed at him, and felt a sense of satisfaction.
This was exactly the effect he wanted.
The time was almost up. Su Chen slowly opened his folding fan and said calmly:
"This secret is quite complicated, and it even involves the great secret of the Celestial Longevity Realm."
"It all started after Huangfu Jian and Liu Sheng Wuji finished their match."
"After that battle, Huangfu Jian realized one thing: there are even more powerful experts out there."
"'The Twenty-Three Swords of Annihilation' has a fatal flaw, and it is simply not enough against a master like Liu Sheng Wuji."
"So he returned to the martial arts world of the Han Dynasty, intending to focus on developing an even more powerful sword technique."
"But unexpectedly, not long after he left, his wife got together with his best friend."
"In a fit of rage, he killed his wife and that friend."
"In a fit of extreme anger, his swordsmanship improved by leaps and bounds, and he actually comprehended the third move of 'Sword Twenty-Three'."
"This sword is more than ten times more terrifying than the 'Twenty-Three Swords of Annihilation of Heaven and Earth'. Once it is unleashed, the world will change color, even ghosts and gods will be afraid, and neither mortals nor celestial beings can withstand it."
"Even experts at the Celestial Realm of Longevity would find it difficult to withstand."
"This is a rare sword of destruction in the world, so it is named 'Six Annihilation Sword Twenty-Three'."
"With this move, Huangfu Jian stepped into the realm of the Great Longevity of the Celestial Beings."
"This breakthrough is like 'becoming a god with one sword' or 'becoming an immortal with one sword,' essentially it is a temporary borrowing of a higher level of power."
"Once this power is gone, your cultivation will return to its original state, and your foundation will be damaged."
"But at that moment, he did indeed reach the realm of immortality."
"Therefore, he learned a secret that only those at the Celestial Longevity Realm could know."
