"Did our human race ever defeat the gods in that war between immortals and gods?"

"I don't know."

"I don't know?" Jiang Qing frowned.

"The era of immortals and gods is over a hundred million years ago," Su Bai said.

"Has it been... hundreds of millions of years?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingyi's eyes revealed a sense of desolation.

He glanced at the tomb of the Hidden Sword Immortal, then looked down at himself.

Finally, I looked at the thick fog all around me.

Suddenly, as if he understood something, he let out a long, unbearable sigh.

"So, it turns out that a powerful figure intervened to continue my lingering will."

"I think I understand his intention now."

Speaking of which...

Jiang Qingyi composed herself and looked at Su Bai with a serious expression.

"Su Bai, before my master passed away, he told me one thing: 'A sword cannot be fully hidden, nor can a sword be fully drawn. A sword that is hidden must be drawn, and a sword that is drawn must be hidden!'"

"Furthermore, he passed on to me the last sword technique he had comprehended in that instant, but I had not yet learned it before I perished here. Meeting you this time must be the will of heaven. Now, I will pass on this sword technique to you. Are you willing to accept it?"

"What swordsmanship?" Su Bai asked.

"What swordsmanship? Now that you know my master's identity, do you still have doubts about the swordsmanship he displayed before his death?"

"Moreover, as a pure sword cultivator, one must integrate the strengths of various schools of swordsmanship and synthesize them to achieve perfection. Don't you understand this principle?"

Su Bai looked at him calmly, "Since you are a pure sword cultivator, then you should be pure."

"purely......"

Upon hearing those two words, the doubt on Jiang Qing's face vanished instantly. She froze in place, as if petrified, completely still.

After a long while, he came to his senses and sighed softly.

“Master, I have understood... but it’s too late. If I had understood this profound meaning earlier, I wouldn’t be unable to reach the realm of immortals.”

"Disciple, I regret it!"

That's all.

Jiang Qing suddenly took three steps back, faced Su Bai, and solemnly bowed.

"Jiang Qingyi thanks you for your guidance, sir."

Su Bai returned the bow.

After the two got up.

With a flick of Jiang Qing's finger, words condensed, and a sword technique instantly appeared in the void before him.

At that moment, his expression was filled with an indescribable sense of pride.

"This sword technique was written by my master when he broke through in swordsmanship on his deathbed. It is called 'Long Wind'. It explains that this sword technique has three levels."

"The first level, Spring Breeze, when the sword is drawn, heaven and earth resound together, continuously!"

"The second level, Autumn Wind, when the sword is drawn, the wind rises and the waves are magnificent!"

"The third level, Long Wind, when the sword is drawn, the wind howls for ten thousand miles, a single sword strike brings a long wind that encompasses ten thousand realms, capable of slaying all gods and Buddhas!"

Jiang Qingyi paused for a moment, then looked up at the sky.

"Back then, my master taught me this sword technique, hoping that I could rely on it to establish my Dao and break through to the realm of immortals."

"But I just can't learn it. To learn the sword technique 'Long Wind,' one must first master the art of riding the wind. But I have lived in the Wind Realm for three thousand years and still do not understand what riding the wind means."

"I never learned this sword technique, and this incident later became a mental hurdle for me. So when I died, I gave up on entering the cycle of reincarnation and held on to a sliver of my remaining will, hoping that one day I could pass on this sword technique."

"But little did we know that this wait would last for... billions of years."

"Take your time and see. If you don't want to learn it, then please pass on this sword technique for me."

Jiang Qingyi bowed again.

But just then, a gentle breeze rose and helped him up.

When he noticed the gentle breeze emanating from Su Bai, his pupils suddenly contracted, and an expression of disbelief instantly appeared on his face.

"This...you can control the wind! You can actually control the wind!"

Su Bai nodded. "I'll accept this sword technique."

"Having found such a successor for my master, Jiang Qingyi has no regrets even in death!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingyi's expression changed, and he let out a deafening roar.

And because his wish had been fulfilled, the figure formed from his lingering resentment began to become increasingly transparent at this moment.

Before his body completely dissipated, he took nine steps back and bowed deeply to Su Bai, who was standing straight in front of him.

"After hundreds of millions of years, my vast human race still exists. This is enough to prove that the lineage of my human race has never been truly severed. Therefore, whether the gods are destroyed or not is no longer important."

"Unfortunately, I have never seen my master's famous 'Invincible Sword Drawing Technique' passed down."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I should go now."

"With a ruler like you, the human race will never perish. Jiang Qingyi, farewell."

Jiang Qingyi bowed again.

However, when he stood up, he found that the young man's long sword suddenly emerged from the void, and a seven-colored sword aura, like a raging river, appeared in an instant!

Although the thin mist obscured his detection, as a pure sword cultivator, he could sense that the young man's sword strike had covered an area of ​​nearly ten million miles!

Just as he was horrified and about to speak, the young man suddenly sheathed his sword, and the sword energy that covered an area of ​​nearly ten million miles vanished in the blink of an eye!

The world returned to tranquility, as if the long sword in the boy's hand had never been drawn!

"Hahaha!"

"When the sword rises, the great river sinks; when the sword falls to earth, the flowers bloom and the moon shines bright!"

"Master, this is the sword technique you've always dreamed of! I never imagined that our human race's future ruler, Rulong, would cultivate your 'Invincible Sword Drawing Technique' to such a high level!"

"By looking at the sky through the lens of a well, one can imagine that everyone among our human race in this world is like a dragon!"

"Jiang Qingyi, a pure swordsman of the human race, thanks Lord Xie for drawing his sword to see you off!"

After several long howls, Jiang Qing retreated nine steps each time.

But just as he was about to perform the final grand ceremony, he was lifted up by a gentle breeze.

He opened his mouth, but before he could utter a sound, he vanished into nothingness, disappearing into the world.

Han!

at the same time.

At this moment, the long sword held by his corpse resounded, and then, a sharp sword intent instantly spread throughout the area!

This sword intent is different from ordinary sword intent. Su Bai can feel that this sword intent contains a trace of elusive and elusive aura!

"This is... celestial energy!"

"But Jiang Qingyi hasn't broken through to the Immortal Realm, so why is there immortal energy on his sword?"

Tianqing exclaimed in surprise.

"He didn't break through to the Immortal Realm, but he did slay an Immortal."

"That's why the sword retains that celestial aura..."

Su Bai murmured calmly, then sat cross-legged and began to meditate.

However, just as he was about to absorb this immortal energy into his body...

The divinity and divine will flowing within the body suddenly surged forth as if facing a formidable enemy, launching an indiscriminate attack on the immortal energy surging into the body, as if water and fire were incompatible!

Due to the disparity in numbers, the wisp of immortal energy that Su Bai had just absorbed was forced back by these divine powers and divine wills in the blink of an eye!

“This celestial aura is actually incompatible with divine will and divinity…” Tian Qing said in a deep voice.

"Perhaps this is the purpose of the person who set up this place."

"Does Master Su Bai mean that this person wants to use these divine wills, divine natures, and immortal energy to allow people of the human race to possess both powers simultaneously, thus becoming people who can cultivate both immortality and divinity?"

"And these changes in Master Su Bai are precisely the reason why these people are unable to pass the test?"

Tianqing speculated.

Su Bai nodded.

The next moment.

His sword aura instantly manifested, suppressing the malevolent divinity and divine will, and drawing all the immortal energy of this realm into his body.

Boom—Crack!

As this celestial energy entered his body, he could clearly feel that the sword energy within his dantian had gained a unique ethereal quality.

The four sources that had been collected earlier also suddenly acquired a slightly more otherworldly aura at this time.

Under the influence of such a change, at this moment, he himself seemed like a banished immortal, filled with an indescribable aura.

This situation made Su Bai understand that the so-called immortal energy is the unique power of a powerful immortal, which is far superior to the power of living beings.

In other words, possessing immortal energy can greatly enhance one's strength in all aspects, including physical constitution, spirit, sword energy, and magical treasures, all of which can coexist with immortal energy.

Unlike the previous divinity and divine will, which could only affect one's state of mind.

However, after hundreds of millions of years, the amount of immortal energy left in this place is very small. Even if tens of thousands of such immortal energies were to appear, Su Bai did not think they would bring him much of a boost.

But for ordinary people, even for someone who has just reached the Great Emperor realm, it is indeed quite useful.

Collecting his thoughts, Su Bai opened his eyes. The thick fog that had been shrouding him had parted, revealing a road strewn with corpses.

He got up, but did not leave. Instead, he built a tomb for Jiang Qingyi next to Xu Jiangbei's tomb.

After burying Jiang Qingyi, he went to the next location.

As he had anticipated, the realm of enlightenment to be grasped here was the divine will and divinity of the gods.

at the same time.

On the path to immortality, a young man dressed in white robes slowly emerged.

The noisy group of cultivators around immediately fell silent when they saw this person emerge, and their faces were filled with uncontrollable joy.

A moment later, a thunderous shout suddenly erupted from among the group of cultivators.

"It's Chu Feng! Chu Feng has come out! So far, he has already comprehended one hundred realms of intent. Such monstrous talent is truly unimaginable, it's terrifying!"

"As expected of the true saint among all races, you should know that the reason he came here is not because he did not receive guidance from the divine mountain and could not rectify the divine mountain's name, but because he received guidance from the divine mountain but did not go to the divine mountain. Instead, he came here to temper himself!"

"Truly a young prodigy, with such poise, he is truly the envy of all!"

"Young Master Chu Feng, could you please explain the key points of this experience to us?"

"Young Master Chu Feng, are you tired? How about I have two fox demons perform a dance for you to liven things up?"
