Chapter 2464 - Legend of the Heavenly Path
The Sovereign's Ascension
When the Radiant Sword Emperor approached the summit, the sword buzz echoing around the Heavenly Divine Mountain became even more radiant, shocking all the swordsmen present.
The Radiant Sword Emperor shattered a light screen in the sky and landed on the summit of the Heavenly Divine Mountain, heading towards the path in the clouds.
âWhat should we do now? How are we going to go up?â Feng Jue asked.
Lin Yun smiled bitterly because he didnât expect his master to be so capricious.
The Thousand Plume Great Saint smiled, âLetâs wait. I believe someone will come to welcome us soon.â
The commotion created by the Radiant Sword Emperor was great, and many people who came noticed it.
âThatâs Flower Burial, right?â
âThe Radiant Sword Emperorâs disciples have all come...â
âI heard he wants to compete to see whoâs the strongest swordsman beneath the Emperor Realm.â
âThere are also rumors that he had refined the Heavenly Dragon Bone. The master and disciple plan to challenge the Skysolute City, the Radiant SSword Emperor challenges Yu Qingfeng while Lin Yun challenges the disciples of his lineage.â
âI heard that the Flower Burial said that he would first wipe the Skysolite City after he reaches the Emperor Realm.â
These people were far away, but Lin Yunâs group could hear it.
Lin Yun was stumped, and he frowned, âThat exaggerating? Since when did I say that I want to do that...? This is ridiculous.â
Looking at how anxious Lin Yun became, Ye Guhan and everyone laughed.
Jian Jingtian smiled, âJunior Brother, not everything can go according to your plan. After reaching a certain position, you wouldnât have a choice even if you donât want to compete because everyone will force you.â
The Thousand Plume Great Saint smiled, âThatâs normal. As the Ninth Heavenly Path champion, youâve been first on the Empyrean, Elysium Core, Dragon Pulse, and Samsara Realms! On the Blue Dragon Banquet, you even suppressed the other Heavenly Pathâs champions, not to mention the God Burial Mountain Range battle. Now...who in Kunlun Realm doesnât know you after the battle in the Sword Sect?â
The Thousand Plume Great Saint was filled with emotions as he had witnessed Lin Yunâs moniker as Ye Qingtian rising together in the Heavenly Dao Sect. If possible, he wished that Lin Yun was Ye Qingtian.
By the side, Bai Shuying was depressed. She was on the same level as Lin Yun in the past, but he had surpassed her now.
Hearing the discussion, Lin Yun said, âIt looks like this cannot be avoided.â
What his senior brothers and the Thousand Plume Great Saint said was right. After reaching a certain height, his intentions didnât matter because everyone would push him to that spot. It was like a tidal wave carrying him around.
When the crowd discussed among themselves, several people instantly came before the crowd. The one leading was a young man, looking dignified and giving off a frightening sword intent. This person was the Skysolute Cityâs city lord, the Dao Suspend Sword Saint, the second disciple of Yu Qingfeng. He had long reached the pinnacle of the Great Saint Realm, and he could reach the Emperor Realm at any time.
He was a famous Sword Saint on the same level as the Divine Phoenix Holy Master. Beside him were all disciples of Yu Qingfeng.
Yu Qingfeng had a good relationship with the Radiant Sword Emperor and took great care of him. But all the disciples didnât look friendly.
Ye Guhan smiled because he knew that they had already clashed. Then again, that couldnât be helped because the Radiant Sword Emperor was here to challenge Yu Qingfeng no matter who looked at it. They might not hold any hostility, but they wanted to compete.
The atmosphere between both parties could have been better, and no one spoke out first.
Ultimately, the Thousand Plume Great Saint smiled, âBrother Dao Suspend, it has been long since we last met. How have you been?â
âBrother Thousand Plume, are the rumors true? Will the Heavenly Dao Sect merge with the Sword Sect? If thatâs the case, Iâm afraid that the strongest holy land for swordsmen will change from the Skysolute City,â the Dao Suspend Sword Saint smiled.
The Thousand Plume Great Saint smiled bitterly when he heard that. He waved his hand and said, âItâs nothing. Theyâre just rumors.â
âYou must be Flower Burial? I heard that youâre here to challenge. All the sect masters from sword dao holy land were gathered in the Skysolute City, and theyâre here for you,â a youth stood out beside the Dao Suspend Sword Saint, looking at Lin Yun with a smile. There wasnât hostility from him but a hint of curiosity and unwillingness to admit defeat.
Lin Yun was already prepared and smiled, âIf thereâs an opportunity, why not? You are?â
His words naturally caused an uproar among the crowd.
âWell said!â
âThe rumors are true...â
The crowd didnât leave and stayed to watch when they saw the Skysolute Cityâs city lord coming out with a party.
The young swordsman smiled and said nothing.
The Dao Suspend Sword Saint said, âHeâs a disciple master took in seventy years ago, Jian Jue. Heâs a genius in the Skysolute City and was invincible among the younger generation in the Divine Dragon Empire.â
âOh? Does that mean heâs a treasure of the Sword Emperorâs lineage? Junior Brother, heâs like you,â Jian Jingtian smiled, looking at Lin Yun.
âSo itâs Young Master Jian Jue,â Lin Yun smiled.
Dao Yang and Bai Shuying stood by the side, bearing their laughter. They knew that Lin Yun didnât know about this person, and he was merely pretending he did. But in reality, the two had misunderstood Lin Yun.
Lin Yun had heard of the Sword Emperorâs lineage long ago; it was just that he didnât know that this person was Jian Jue.
âOh?â Jian Jue was surprised. He smiled, âI heard your name after the Blue Dragon Banquet. You're the strongest genius since ancient times and unrivaled among the nine champions of the Heavenly Paths. Your name has spread far and wide, and it was proven once more.â
It has been a long time since someone called Lin Yun the champion of the Ninth Heavenly Path but addressed him by his title: Flower Burial.
Dao Suspend Sword Saint looked around, and he smiled, âCome into the city with me. If you carry on like this, people will say that our Skysolute City is rude.â
The Dao Suspend Sword Saint gave everyone a jade token. When they injected their saint aura into it, the pressure from the sword disappeared as everyone soared to the sky, heading towards the Skysolute City. Without the pressure of the giant sword, they quickly traveled ten thousand feet in the blink of an eye.
The Dao Suspend Sword Saint led everyone to the plaza in Skysolute City.
âEveryone, please have a seat. The various holy landsâ sect masters will soon arrive,â the Dao Suspend Sword Saint sat on the main seat while Lin Yun and the Sword Sectâs party sat on his left.
It didnât take long before more swordsmen began to gather. They wouldnât even have the qualification to sit without reaching the Saint Realm and could only stand by the side. Even so, more people arrived, soon filled with plaza, making it squeezy.
Countless gazes fell onto Lin Yun with curiosity. However, the first impression they received was Lin Yunâs young age. Their second impression was how unfathomable he was, and he possessed the demeanor of a grandmaster.
âThe Frostsnow Sacred Palaceâs sect master, the Chill Cloud Sword Saint has arrived!â
Along with an announcement, the sect masters of various holy lands began to arrive. Speaking of which, Lin Yun had interacted with these holy lands in the past.
âThe Myriad Sword Pavilionâs sect master, the Profound Mountain Sword Saint has arrived!â
âThe Black Plume Palaceâs sect master, the Heavenly Plume Sword Saint has arrived!â
âThe Heavenly Dragon Monasteryâs venerable, the Profound Dragon Sword Saint has arrived!â
âThe Hidden Sword Manorâs Spiritual Seal Sword Saint has arrived!â
âThe Liu Saint Clanâs Abyssal Flame Sword Saint has arrived!â
The various sect masters and patriarchs representing holy lands and clans who practiced sword daos began to arrive, and they were the strongest sword saints in the world, the strongest batch beneath the Emperor Realm.
Aside from that, many sword dao great saints arrived. This left Lin Yun speechless because this scene was shocking.
Even Jian Jingtian kept his arrogance and whispered to Lin Yun, âJunior Brother, this scene is too big. All the famous sword saints in the Kunlun Realm have come. Donât embarrass our master.â
Lin Yun merely smiled upon hearing that. Before coming, he also didnât expect it would be so grand that even the monks from the Heavenly Dragon Monastery had come. He didnât know that there were swordsmen among monks.
This gave Lin Yun a headache; he could only drink wine to calm his emotions.
Among the Heavenly Dragon Monasteryâs party, Xin Yan had covered her face with a veil, staring at Lin Yun. When she looked at Lin Yun drinking wine, she couldnât help smiling and saw a new side to this junior brother of hers.
âIâm grateful that everyone came despite the journey. First toast to the Ancient Barren Domainâs Sword Sect, to the Radiant Sword Emperor and Flower Burial!â The Dao Suspend Sword Saint raised his cup and showed his demeanor even though the Sword Sect was here to challenge them.
âTo the Radiant Sword Emperor and Flower Burial!â All the Sword Saints in the plaza stood up and gave a toast to Lin Yun.
No one felt something was wrong because the Radiant Sword Emperor and Flower Burial were worthy of their toast.
Xin Yanâs eyes shone brightly. But because she was among the Heavenly Dragon Monasteryâs party, she could only use tea to replace wine and toast with everyone. At this moment, all the Sword Saints in the world were giving a toast to Lin Yun, and this was a shocking scene that made Xin Yan happy.
Lin Yun was surprised and smiled, âNo need to be so polite. Likewise, I also toast everyone to it.â
As everyone drank, Yu Qingfeng and the Radiant Sword Emperor also drank wine. Yu Qingfeng smiled, âRadiant, why donât we look at the competition between the youngsters before our fight?â
âI share the same thought,â the Radiant Sword Emperor smiled.
âCome, have a drink and look at Flower Burialâs performance today!â Yu Qingfeng smiled.
