Jun Xiaoyao paused.
Only then did he realize that he might have gone a bit overboard.
After all, there were only a few dozen Legacy swords.
Jun Xiaoyao alone had refined more than ten.
No wonder Sword Seven couldn't sit still.
Sword Seven secretly transmitted his Divine Thought: "Jun Xiaoyao, how about giving my Sword Tomb some Face and stopping your Divine Ability?"
Now, Sword Seven was like the owner of a buffet restaurant.
Jun Xiaoyao was an insatiable glutton.
If this continued, the store would be eaten out of business.
The Legacy of the Sword Tomb might even end in Jun Xiaoyao's hands.
If that got out, the Sword Tomb would undoubtedly become a laughingstock.
A majestic Life Forbidden Zone, yet its roots were almost dug out by someone.
"Consider it that my Sword Tomb owes you a favor," Sword Seven continued.
He also knew that Jun Xiaoyao had a powerful background and might not be interested in joining the Sword Tomb.
However, the Sword Tomb was one of the Ten Forbidden Zones after all, so this favor carried significant weight.
Jun Xiaoyao smiled slightly; he wasn't that tactless.
In fact, he had a good impression of the Sword Tomb.
The Sword Tomb had never participated in a great turmoil.
Moreover, Ye Guchen should have a deep connection with the Sword Tomb.
Jun Xiaoyao also wanted to establish good relations with the Sword Tomb.
After all, it wasn't necessary to offend all Ten Forbidden Zones, as that would bring no benefit to Jun Xiaoyao.
If he could gain the friendship of a few Forbidden Zones, it might play a significant role in the future.
Jun Xiaoyao always liked to plan ahead and make preparations in advance.
Seeing that Jun Xiaoyao had finally stopped, Sword Seven secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
With Jun Xiaoyao's performance, joining the Sword Tomb was more than sufficient.
In fact, it was enough for the Sword Tomb to try and win him over.
Others begged to be admitted into the Sword Tomb.
Jun Xiaoyao, however, was someone the Sword Tomb wanted to win over but couldn't obtain.
At this point, the matter came to an end.
Jun Xiaoyao and Ye Guchen both drew swords from the Sword Tomb.
Unlike Jun Xiaoyao, in Ye Guchen's eyes, there was only one sword: the wooden sword engraved with the words "seeking defeat seeking."
Holding this wooden sword, Ye Guchen felt as if he was holding the entire world.
The next moment, something astonishing happened.
Ye Guchen's Emperor Slaying Sword actually merged into the wooden sword on its own accord.
"Old friend, you…" Ye Guchen was surprised.
For a Sword Cultivator, the longest companion is not family or lover, but the sword.
Not to mention someone with Ye Guchen's indifferent Heart-Nature; only the sword was his lifelong obsession.
However, this Emperor Slaying Sword merged on its own.
Ye Guchen's eyes showed a hint of relief.
"Old friend, you haven't disappeared; you've just found another way to accompany me."
Ye Guchen ran his hand over the Defeat Seeking Sword.
Although it was just a wooden sword with some cracks and decay, it felt as if it contained the sharpest edge in the world.
Whose sword was this?
At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao also showed a contemplative expression.
The swords had been drawn.
Sword Seven had once said that there was a special sword on Heavenly Sword Peak.
If one could resonate with that sword, they would be qualified to become a Sword Tomb Legacy.
But where was that sword?
Just then, the entire Heavenly Sword Peak began to rumble and tremble, as if it was about to collapse.
Seeing this, Sword Seven's eyes also revealed a hint of understanding.
He waved his single hand, and a surge of Law power swept out.
"Alright, the Sword Tomb trial is over. Only Jun Xiaoyao and Ye Guchen are qualified to remain here."
"The rest of you, please leave for now."
As he waved his hand, everyone else present—Ji Qingyi, Yan Rumeng, Situ Xue, and Prodigies like Mixed King—were instantly teleported outside the Sword Tomb.
Clearly, the upcoming events involved the Sword Tomb's secrets and could not be easily revealed to outsiders.
After these Prodigies were sent away, Sword Seven's figure also vanished.
In the entire world, only Jun Xiaoyao and Ye Guchen remained.
At this moment, Heavenly Sword Peak was still shaking violently.
The thick, Dragon-like chains wrapped around Heavenly Sword Peak also vibrated incessantly, making clanging metal sounds.
"Could it be…" Jun Xiaoyao's mind flashed, and he instantly thought of something.
"Brother Ye, I think I know where that special sword is," Jun Xiaoyao said with a slight smile.
Ye Guchen nodded slightly; he clearly had some premonition as well.
The entire Heavenly Sword Peak cracked, and rocks tumbled down.
What was revealed within was, astonishingly, a sword!
The entire Heavenly Sword Peak itself was a sword!
And it was that very special sword!
The thick, Dragon-like chains were wrapped around this sword.
Until all the rocks had fallen, the true appearance of this Heavenly Sword was fully revealed!
"Immortal Artifact…" Jun Xiaoyao murmured to himself.
He had previously wondered why the Nine Heavens Forbidden Zone, with its profound heritage, wouldn't have an Immortal Artifact.
Now, the Sword Tomb's Immortal Artifact finally revealed itself.
It was the Heavenly Sword Peak beneath their feet!
"Hehe, how long has it been? Someone who can awaken this old one has appeared again."
At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded.
Jun Xiaoyao and Ye Guchen looked over.
In the Void Realm, a slightly illusory figure materialized.
It was an old man dressed in simple white hemp robes, with a somewhat hunched figure.
Although he looked ordinary, he gave off a feeling of being unmoving like a mountain and deep like the sea.
His aura was even more profound than the starry sky!
Powerful! This was Jun Xiaoyao's first impression!
This old man's strength was extraordinary!
He definitely far surpassed ordinary Great Emperors, reaching an extremely profound and terrifying Realm!
One could even say he was the foundation of the Sword Tomb!
Those who could become a foundation were definitely not ordinary!
"My name is Wu Hui. You can also call me… Heavenly Sword Wu Hui," the old man named Wu Hui said with a chuckle.
"Heavenly Sword Wu Hui… Senior, could you be…" Jun Xiaoyao was startled.
"That's right, this old one is the Artifact Spirit of this Heavenly Sword," Wu Hui said faintly.
Jun Xiaoyao suddenly understood.
Indeed.
An Immortal Artifact Spirit could also become a foundational existence.
"Oh… are you the Immortal Extermination Sword Master?" Wu Hui looked at Jun Xiaoyao with a hint of surprise.
He sensed a special aura from Jun Xiaoyao.
It was the lingering aura of the Immortal Extermination Sword.
Jun Xiaoyao smiled slightly and said, "I did wield the Immortal Extermination Sword once, but now it's in my father's hands."
When fighting the Ultimate Calamity, Jun Xiaoyao had the Three Lives Coffin above his head and the Immortal Extermination Sword in his hand, suppressing and killing the ultimate calamity.
However, Jun Xiaoyao later gave the Immortal Extermination Sword to Jun Wu悔.
Wu Hui nodded slightly and said, "So that's it. The Jun Family's Immortal Slaughtering Four Swords indeed shook the heavens, slaying Immortals and Buddhas above, and Yama below."
Jun Xiaoyao was somewhat surprised, not expecting Heavenly Sword Wu Hui to have such high praise for their Jun Family's Immortal Slaughtering Four Swords.
"No wonder you could pass the Sword Tomb's test."
As Wu Hui spoke, he looked at Ye Guchen again.
In his eyes, there was a faint hint of nostalgia.
"Everything has a fixed number. You have returned after all."
"I'm back? Who am I, exactly?" Ye Guchen asked.
When he held the Defeat Seeking Sword, he vaguely had a feeling but couldn't confirm it.
And that figure in his consciousness, standing tall, wielding a sword to slay the world… who was it?
Jun Xiaoyao also showed an interested expression, listening.
Wu Hui sighed slightly and said, "Wielding a sword across the world, only seeking seeking defeat. The reason my Sword Tomb can be listed among the Ten Forbidden Zones is largely due to that person's contributions."
"Who?" Ye Guchen's gaze sharpened.
Wu Hui paused, then said, "The Sword Dao Myth, Dugu Sword God!"
