Chapter 1985: Chapter 1985: Qingyun’s Sermon, Pagoda Anomaly!
Watching the two sit cross-legged on the ground, their sword intent rising all around them, as if on the verge of a breakthrough, the Netherworld King smiled and put away the wooden sword.
Although the two were heavily occupied as managers of the Green Cloud Sword Sect, they never neglected their cultivation.
They simply lacked some insight, and now that the Netherworld King showed them a higher level of Sword Dao, their sword cultivation easily broke through that barrier.
...
The next day, at dawn.
Everyone in the Green Cloud Platform, including elders and worshippers, had gathered from the Green Cloud Sword Sect.
From the moment the sect’s notification was issued, they gathered here, hoping to be closer to the Green Cloud Platform.
Some were excitedly exchanging stories and legends about the Netherworld King from The Mortal Realm, while others sat cross-legged on the ground, adjusting their breathing to bring their bodies to their optimal state, so they could understand and absorb the teachings of the Netherworld King.
Suddenly, three streams of sword qi simultaneously descended onto the Green Cloud Platform, each differing in intensity.
The left and right streams were sharp and struck the ground forcefully.
However, the middle stream was extremely restrained, like a sword without an edge.
Yet, every sword cultivator would understand that between overt sharpness and a sheathed sword, determining strength was evident at a glance.
Within this sword qi, three figures emerged.
Seeing that the middle figure was identical to the sect’s statue, but with eyes more determined and composed, the onlookers were either excited or solemn.
"It’s Sect Master Ye!"
"We’ve finally witnessed the elegance of our legendary sect master."
"Indeed, just this sword intent alone is worlds apart from other sword cultivators we’ve seen."
"I heard that even when our Sect Master Ye goes to other Great Realms, he remains a top sword cultivator. Does that mean our Green Cloud Sword Sect is a top sect in the six worlds?"
People nearby wordlessly stared at this female disciple, whose face was flushed with excitement.
Indeed, is one person’s excellence the same as the entire sect’s eminence?
At this moment.
Sounds were heard from outside the Green Cloud Sword Sect.
"Hidden Dao Academy has come to witness the event!"
"Hidden Sword Peak comes seeking the Dao!"
"The Four Great Secret Clans Yang Family comes to visit!"
Various forces, both big and small, arrived here to visit, all hoping to form a bond with the Netherworld King.
Jian Chaomian and Liang Feng glanced at the Netherworld King, who merely chuckled and waved, "All guests are welcome, come in."
With that, he waved his hand in the air, and several chairs formed from condensed sword intent floated in mid-air over the Green Cloud Platform.
Several streams of light passed through, and these figures landed before the chairs, bowing to the Netherworld King.
"Greetings, Sect Master Ye."
The Netherworld King stood and said, "There’s no need for such formalities. All of you seniors have helped me before; doing this would only humble this junior."
The current principal of Hidden Dao Academy, Qin Tiannan, laughed and said, "Times have changed. Now, you are a great hero in The Mortal Realm and have won much face for our realm in other Great Realms. Who else would deserve this bow if not you?"
The Netherworld King spoke cautiously, "And what about Master?"
Qin Tiannan immediately furrowed his brows and snorted, "Don’t mention that rascal of a master of yours. So many years have passed without him checking on his Uncle Qin. Has he grown wings and become unwilling to see me?"
The Netherworld King was speechless, "Uncle Qin, this..."
"Tell him exactly as I have!"
"Alright then..."
The crowd saw the conversation between Qin Tiannan and the Netherworld King and was not surprised, knowing the relationship between the Netherworld King and Qin Tiannan, even to that legendary figure.
Back then, the Netherworld King joined the Southern Region’s Hidden Dao Academy under his master’s guidance, and The Cottage was part of the Southern Region’s Hidden Dao Academy.
Simply put, calling Qin Tiannan the familial support for the Netherworld King and that legendary figure wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
This is also why the Southern Region’s Hidden Dao Academy is so bustling today.
Even the Southern Region’s Hidden Dao Academy holds a transcendent position throughout The Mortal Realm.
The Hidden Sword Peak Sect Master, Lin Rufeng, was less casual, saying respectfully, "Sect Master Ye, has my troublesome disciple caused any trouble?"
Liang Feng is Lin Rufeng’s personal disciple, and since Lin Rufeng once wanted to pass Hidden Sword Sect to Liang Feng while he went out to explore, Liang Feng ended up joining the Green Cloud Sword Sect, driving Lin Rufeng half mad.
Liang Feng pursed his lips and said quietly, "Causing trouble? Aren’t Brother Jian and I managing all matters, big and small, in the Green Cloud Sword Sect?"
Lin Rufeng glared at Liang Feng.
The Netherworld King laughed and waved his hand, "Without Brother Liang and Brother Jian, I’m not sure who I’d have manage the sect. I can’t thank Brother Liang enough."
Lin Rufeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He always thought highly of the Netherworld King, and now that Liang Feng was with him, his Sword Dao had already surpassed his master’s, which made Lin Rufeng very happy.
The Four Great Secret Clans Yang family’s head and its elders respectfully said "Sect Master Ye" and then offered some gifts.
These were of little use to the Netherworld King, but he accepted them with a smile.
This Four Great Secret Clans Yang Family was of the same level as the Xin family, which Xin Hongyi belonged to, but there was no previous interaction.
The same was true for the other forces.
"Alright, all of you seniors, please take your seats." The Netherworld King pressed a hand down, and a gentle force ’pushed’ all the sect leaders and elders in mid-air onto their chairs.
Everyone was astonished; such cultivation prowess was terrifying.
In just over twenty years, he had already grown to this extent.
When Liang Feng and Jian Chaomian exchanged a glance and were about to step back.
The Netherworld King said, "Since we are discussing the Dao, understanding it through combat is better. Just as well, you two can demonstrate for the disciples."
Liang Feng and Jian Chaomian’s expressions changed.
They had been satisfactorily beaten by the Netherworld King the day before, and now it was happening again?!
And in front of so many people?
What, do we have no dignity?
But before the two could respond, the Netherworld King was already attacking them with a wooden sword.
As he attacked, he explained his insights into the Sword Dao.
Effortlessly suppressing the two.
Watching his relaxed demeanor.
The disciples and elders below stared at the Netherworld King with the reverence one would have for the divine.
And under the Qingyun Sword Domain, everyone’s understanding of sword intent rose to a new level.
Yet nobody knew.
As the Netherworld King engaged in combat and lectured, he was also using the Qingyun Sword Domain to perceive the aura of everyone present.
His perception was fully open.
Checking if there were any anomalies within the sect.
Checking if there were people belonging to the Immortal Realm.
With the Netherworld King’s current realm, unless someone was at the Main God Level, he could easily discern whether they harnessed Divine Energy, immortal aura, or spiritual energy within.
...
At the same time.
Hong Ying and Ning Chenxin, after investigating the situation at Azure Heaven Academy, returned to the Cloud Phoenix Imperial Domain, investigating the Cloud Phoenix Empire.
Shi Sheng also followed them.
In the Cloud Phoenix Hall, the Imperial Preceptor was temporarily handling state affairs.
The moment Shi Sheng saw the Imperial Preceptor.
The Chaos Slaughter Tower in his body began to tremble!
