nLin Ruofei felt extremely bitter, but he didn’t feel any jealousy or hatred towards Lin Xuan.

nThe only thought in his mind was to work hard to learn from the Consort. Even if he couldn’t become an outstanding man like the Consort, as long as he could become ten to twenty percent as outstanding as him, his life wouldn’t be in vain!

nAnd in the entire Absolute Beginning Holy Land, the person who had the deepest understanding of Lin Xuan’s mantra was naturally the Sacred Lord.

n“The empress’ husband is really wise!”

nGuan Youyun had reached the Realm of Heart 3500 years ago.

nHowever, in the following years, his attainment in the Sword Dao never underwent a huge breakthrough.

nHearing Lin Xuan’s words, he suddenly felt enlightened.

nHe had originally thought that extreme offensive power was the key to the Sword Dao.

nHowever, Lin Xuan’s words overturned the traditional understanding of the Sword Dao and made people feel enlightened.

nGuan Youyun was certain that as long as he continued to comprehend this mantra, he would definitely be able to break through the Realm of Heart and reach the highest Realm of Dao.

n“I originally thought that I would never encounter another benefactor in my life other than my mentor.”

n“From the looks of it, the empress’ husband is also my benefactor!”

nGuan Youyun looked at Lin Xuan with deep admiration and awe in his eyes.

nWhen they saw that Mu Youging had successfully passed, everyone present praised Lin Xuan. Xuan Zhu and the others were extremely happy. “Daddy is the best!”

n“Yes, that’s right!”

n“Yes, yes, that’s right!”

n“Yes, yes, yes, yes, that’s right!”

nThe little girls climbed to Lin Xuan’s side and hugged his face while kissing him.

nSensing the coolness on his face, Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows.

nAlright, his face was washed by his daughters again.

nMu Youqing had already reached the Realm of Heart. The Realm of Dao required a long period of tempering, and she knew that she couldn’t complete it.

nIn order not to delay the other people’s test, she walked down the martial arts arena and came in front of Lin Xuan with a smile.

n“Cousin-in-law, I can’t thank you enough for your kindness. If there’s anything you need in the future, just tell me!”

nLin Xuan smiled slightly. “We’re family, so there’s no need to be so polite.”

nMu Youging nodded.

nHer cousin-in-law’s nonchalant attitude was very charming.

nNext, the test continued.

nMu Youqing took the opportunity to tell Lin Xuan the rules of the Absolute Beginning Holy Land.

nAccording to tradition, Mu Youqing would have to accept the Holy Land’s accreditation after everyone finished their assessment. Because attaining the Realm of Heart was equivalent to attaining a Sword Sect.

nThey could establish their own sect and their own Sword Dao Sect.

nThis was a great honor and deserved the admiration and blessings of the entire Holy Land’s disciples.

n“We still have to wait so long?”

n“It’s so boring!”

nThe little girls were no longer in the mood to stay in the hall.

nThey were here to support their aunt. Now that their aunt had succeeded, it would be very boring to wait any longer!

nLin Xuan said dotingly, “Why don’t I bring you guys out to play?”

n“Yay!” The four little girls’ eyes instantly lit up.

nMu Youqing said, “I know a mountain in the Holy Land is extremely fun. Why don’t I bring you guys there?”

nAccording to the rules of the Absolute Beginning Holy Land, disciples were allowed to roam around freely after the test.

nMu Youding was a playful person and agreed with the little girls.

nAfter saying goodbye to Guan Youyun, she brought Lin Xuan and the children out of the hall.

nAfter Lin Xuan and the others left, the test continued.

nAbout an hour later, extremely powerful and sharp sword energy suddenly surged in from outside the hall.

nAfter this sword energy appeared, everyone present was shocked.

n“What a powerful sword energy!”

nEven Guan Youyun felt his pores shrink.

nOther than from his master, he had never encountered such powerful sword energy on another person in his life.

nAccording to his guess, the person’s attainments in the Sword Dao were higher than his and he was only a step away from the Realm of Dao.

nAnd according to the rules of the Sword Dao,

nAfter attaining the third level, the Realm of Heart, one would be a Swordsman. After attaining the fourth level, the Realm of Dao, one would be a Sword Immortal.

nIn other words, the person who came was a quasi Sword Immortal!

nThis was really too terrifying!

nHe looked up and saw a slender figure walk in.

nHe was wearing a black robe. His face was chiseled, and his gaze was incomparably sharp.

nWild sword energy lingered around its body, and it caused others to feel intimidated. “Senior Brother!”

nGuan Youyun cried out in shock.

nThe man at the door was his senior brother, Yuan Xiao, who had left the Holy Land angrily eight hundred years ago.

nYuan Xiao’s sword gaze swept across the crowd coldly.

nEveryone who met his gaze immediately lowered their heads and didn’t dare to look him in the eye. “It’s been 800 years since I last came. The disciples of this holy land are really getting worse with each generation!”

nYuan Xiao snorted. “Guan Youyun, you’re doing quite well as the Holy Lord!”

nGuan Youyun knew that Yuan Xiao had come with ill intentions.

nHowever, they were once fellow disciples.

nHe still treated him politely. “May I know why you’re here today?”

nBefore Yuan Xiao could reply, more than a thousand people swarmed in from outside the Grand Primordium Hall.

nThese people were all flashing with sword intent. One could tell at a glance that they were powerhouses in sword cultivation. Their cultivations were also near the Supremacy Realm. The lowest was at the Spirit Stage Middle Phase.

nAfter everyone arrived, Yuan Xiao raised his hand and pointed at the people following him.

n“These people are Swordsman Sect Masters, who are ranked in the top 1,000 of North Mystic Heaven.”

n“Today, I want to fulfill our previous agreement with you in front of them!”

n“Agreement?” Guan Youyun was shocked. “What agreement?”

n“Hmph! Don’t play dumb!” Yuan Xiao berated angrily. “Did you forget that you and I had a conflict about the Sword Dao?”

nWhen he said this, Guan Youyun was enlightened.

nEight hundred years ago, he and Yuan Xiao were the Holy Land’s most outstanding disciples.

nHowever, their understanding of the Sword Dao were different.

nGuan Youyun felt that although the Sword Dao was the Killing Dao, it should require the restrained sword energy to stabilize the Heart of the Sword.

nOn the other hand, Yuan Xiao felt that since it was a Killing Dao, he had to reveal his power and completely release his sword energy.

nThe two of them had a huge disagreement because of this, and the matter even reached the Sect Master’s ears.

nBecause the Sect Master supported Guan Youyun’s point of view, Yuan Xiao felt like he had suffered a huge blow and was disheartened.

nBut before he left, he swore in front of Guan Youyun and the Sect Master that he would definitely prove them wrong.

nIn a moment of anger, Guan Youyun made a promise with him. Sooner or later, the two of them would have a showdown to prove whose view was the true Sword Dao.

nIt had been more than eight hundred years since they last met.

nGuan Youyun, who was dedicated to the Sword Dao, had forgotten about this.

nUnexpectedly, Yuan Xiao didn’t forget about it.

nHe brought the Swordsman powerhouses of North Mystic Heaven to compete with him.

n“Senior Brother, everyone’s understanding of the Sword Dao is different, but the endpoints we pursue are the same.”

nGuan Youyun said politely, “We were once fellow disciples. Why did you have to make a scene over this?”

nYuan Xiao said disdainfully, “Cut the crap! Today, you and I must settle this!”
