"Master, I forgot to mention, I heard that the man in black forced Elder Yinmang to kill himself with just one sword," Su Wan meekly added.

Red Cloud Fairy: "..."

In the Memory Stone, that brilliant sword strike not only shocked countless martial artists who were watching at Yinmang Mountain but also astounded Red Cloud Fairy, one of the top martial artists in the Northern Territory.

Even separated by the Memory Stone, Red Cloud Fairy seemed to feel that terrifying and overwhelming sword presence.

This sword strike seemed to pierce through the void!

The flood dragon, which was only at the Half-Step Grandmaster Realm, clearly overestimated itself by taking on this sword strike.

Red Cloud Fairy even estimated that back when she was only at the Martial Arts Grandmaster Third Layer, facing this sword strike... she might not have been able to retreat unscathed.

In the Northern Territory, to think there was a grandmaster whose Sword Dao was this terrifying.

Thinking about it carefully, Red Cloud Fairy was shocked to realize.

Among all the Northern Territory sword cultivators she had ever met, apparently, there wasn't anyone whose Sword Dao could match this...

Including the Cyan Thunder Sect Leader who cultivated the Cyan Thunder Sword Technique at the Martial Arts Grandmaster Seventh Layer.

Staring at the image recorded in the Memory Stone, Red Cloud Fairy's beautiful eyes sparkled.

If earlier it was just because of his status as a Martial Arts Grandmaster that she wanted to recruit him into the Red Cloud Sect,

Now, Red Cloud Fairy was certain that this person... absolutely had the qualifications to break through to a level beyond grandmaster!

The future is promising!

Once he advances to the Grandmaster Seventh Layer, with his unparalleled Sword Dao, within the grandmaster level, he can already claim to be invincible.

Even Red Cloud Fairy was not confident that she could defeat him.

"Yinmang Mountain..."

After pondering for a moment, Red Cloud Fairy suddenly left, leaving only a faint, cool voice lingering in the hall.

"In that case, I shall personally make a trip to Yinmang Mountain to invite him to join the sect..."

In the hall, Su Wan was stunned. The master, who usually was indifferent to most matters, was actually going to Yinmang Mountain personally?!

However, for a promising future Martial Arts Grandmaster, who was also a lone practitioner,

The master, who was keen to revitalize the Red Cloud Sect, indeed found it very appealing.

...

Cloud Leaf City.

The events at Yinmang Mountain had already been communicated here through message relay.

Even the Memory Stone that recorded that legendary battle and the Heaven-Shocking Sword was being mass-produced as some smelled a business opportunity and were being distributed in the city.

Five taels of silver for a blank Memory Stone; after copying the scene onto it, they sold it at a marked-up price to profit.

The copied versions were less clear, and each was priced at ten taels of silver.

This price was certainly extravagant for ordinary folks, and no one would buy it.

But for the majority of martial artists, even those at the Condensing Origin Realm, they could grit their teeth and afford it.

Opportunities to witness a top-tier Northern Territory Martial Arts Grandmaster in action were undoubtedly rare.

Even extracting a small insight from it could be a great opportunity for oneself.

Therefore, as soon as the copied Memory Stones arrived in various cities, they were sold out in an instant.

Jiang Family.

Having heard the news, Jiang Lingyue excitedly purchased a freshly copied Memory Stone.

She rushed into Jiang Qingge's courtyard joyfully and exclaimed, "Sister, come out quickly, I've got something good!"

Just after checking the account books brought back from several shops, Jiang Qingge, rubbing her temples, heard the lively shouting from outside.

When she walked out of the room, she saw Jiang Lingyue holding a fist-sized stone like it was a treasure.

Jiang Qingge, slightly amused, asked, "What are you up to?"

Jiang Lingyue happily raised the stone in her hand and said, "Sister, do you know what this is?"

"I know, it's a Memory Stone. Doesn't our family have shops that sell these things?" Jiang Qingge slightly nodded.

"Inside here, I've heard it records the earth-shattering sword strike of a Martial Arts Grandmaster!" Jiang Lingyue's little face turned serious, "This is just a copied Memory Stone, and hundreds were just sent over, but they've already sold out instantly."

"If one can comprehend even a sliver of its essence, it could unexpectedly aid their future cultivation path."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingge was somewhat taken aback.

Though not versed in the Martial Dao, she understood its immense challenges.

For many martial artists with even a hint of talent, they might be stuck in the Condensing Origin Realm their entire lives, never stepping into the Postnatal Realm.

To think a copied Memory Stone, by observing its contents, could offer great assistance, was quite astonishing?

Indeed, Jiang Qingge's curiosity was piqued at this moment.

A moment later, the two sisters sat by the stone table in the courtyard, and Jiang Lingyue placed the Memory Stone on the table before activating it...

A scene instantly projected out.

In the scene, fog enveloped the vast expanse of Yinmang Mountain.

At the peak of the mountain, there were two figures: one old and seemingly detached from worldly matters, the other in black clothing, with their appearance concealed.

Upon seeing the two figures, the aged figure left Jiang Qingge unfazed, but at the sight of the man in black... an unusual familiarity arose in her heart.

Somewhat familiar...

The issue was, she had lived in Cloud Leaf City for years and seldom visited larger cities, knowing few Martial Arts Grandmasters.

Yet, this man in black, standing off against the renowned Elder Yinmang of the Northern Territory, seemed oddly familiar to her.

"Could he be from the Eastern Territory?"

After contemplating, Jiang Qingge had a guess.

Thinking about the times she'd had exposure to many Innate Realm and above experts, Jiang Qingge recalled only one, several years ago, when she and her sister accompanied their ancestor, who was yet to face injury, to the Eastern Xuanzhou for a Xuanzhou Commerce Association auction.

That event was where she'd seen many martial experts, including those above the Innate Seventh Layer, making it a grand Xuanzhou gathering.

"Hmm, sister, how does the figure of this man in black seem somewhat familiar to me?"

Beside her, Jiang Lingyue also had this question, candidly voicing it.

Jiang Qingge immediately shared her speculation with Jiang Lingyue.

"From the Eastern Territory?" Jiang Lingyue considered and found some logic in it; word had it that this man in black was a friend of Chen Lingxiang, who had made several trips to the Eastern Territory.

Knowing martial experts from Eastern Xuanzhou was plausible.

Having cleared their doubts, the two focused intently on the projected scene.

Such low-tier Memory Stones couldn't preserve sound, only capturing the scenery, leaving the two unable to hear the conversation.

Nonetheless, grapevine information about the dialogue spread across the Northern Territory.

Soon, Elder Yinmang waved his hand, and a flood dragon emerged from the misty valley, mighty enough to crush any Innate Ninth Layer—seemingly about to transform into a True Dragon!

Then, the mysterious man in black suddenly drew a plain, low-tier long sword, striking down with it...

In an instant, the mist raged, the flood dragon fell, and the mountain peak... collapsed!!
