Originally, as fellow prodigies from major sects, even if they didn't know each other, they had all heard of each other and would have given each other some face. But this true disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect was just too arrogant.

Even before the spirit sword landed, they started mocking him, drawing all their hatred. If those seven spirit swords truly recognized him as their master, they would have nothing to say.

Who would have thought that this guy, who was so confident, would be overlooked by the spirit sword, which instead targeted a rogue cultivator who seemed to have never even practiced swordsmanship.

Now is the perfect time to kick someone when they're down and beat them while they're down. Everyone still remembers how this guy was mocking them just now.

Faced with numerous taunts, the white-robed swordsman remained indifferent. Just as he was about to leave this sorrowful place, he heard a distant, thunderous sword cry that seemed to echo through the heavens, carrying a faint sense of familiarity.

Then, a young man dressed in plain clothes and straw sandals, completely like an ascetic, descended as a sword light, with hundreds of sword shadows of various shapes appearing and disappearing around him.

"Senior Brother!"

Upon seeing the ascetic cultivator whose sword energy was rampant, the white-robed swordsman quickly lowered his head. Although the other party appeared to be injured and his aura was unstable, this only made him realize how terrifying this senior brother was.

"Sima Yan?"

When the current Daoist prodigy of the Heavenly Sword Sect saw this fellow disciple, his brows furrowed and his eyes filled with scrutiny.

"Where is the Xuan Yin Seven Kill Sword?"

"The Seven Killing Sword?"

Sima Yan was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening.

As a fellow disciple, he knew what quirks this Daoist had in his sect—he was fond of swords, obsessed with swords, and could be considered a true sword cultivator. However, he was not a pure sword cultivator, because he did not only love one sword; he loved collecting all swords that possessed a spirit.

This is not simply a collecting hobby, but because this Daoist has cultivated a sword Dao first-grade extraordinary phenomenon that is rarely seen even once in a thousand years: the Endless Sword Domain.

This is an extremely rare phenomenon where the inherent power can be enhanced by external objects. Each time a sword with spiritual essence is obtained and integrated into the sword domain, the power of this phenomenon increases by one point.

Theoretically speaking, if enough spiritual swords were incorporated into such a phenomenon, its power would be in no way inferior to the legendary immortal-grade phenomena, and in terms of sheer killing power, it might even surpass them.

"It's not with me!"

Sima Yan quickly replied.

Where?

The Heavenly Sword Daoist was swift and decisive. He thought he could easily capture the Profound Yin Seven Kill Sword and make it recognize him as its master, but it flew away right before his eyes. He had never encountered such a thing since birth. A spiritual sword actually ignored him and even knocked him over.

Faced with such a situation, he had no mind to search for the inheritances of other sages in his soul sea. He transformed into a sword light and followed the trail left by the Xuan Yin Seven Kill Sword. Along the way, in order not to lose the trail, he even paid a considerable price and was injured.

"Inside the Heavenly Palace!"

Sima Yan dared not hide anything from this Daoist. When the man was not in front of him, he was still thinking about challenging him in the future. But when the man stood in front of him, even though he was injured, the aura he exuded filled him with awe, and he dared not overstep his bounds in the slightest.

"It has already recognized its master!"

"You've accepted it as your master? Tell me what you saw!"

The young man in plain clothes spoke in a cold and hard tone, devoid of any emotion, and with a condescending indifference. This was his nature, or rather, it was the nature of many sword cultivators.

"I don't know much..."

Sima Yan didn't react much to the Daoist's attitude. There were too many elders and fellow disciples in their Heavenly Sword Dao who had this kind of personality that made people unable to like them at all, and even he himself was pretty much the same.

The two true disciples of the Heavenly Sword Path were exchanging ideas, while on the Heavenly Ladder, the geniuses who had lost their qualifications to inherit the lineage were in an uproar, exchanging extremely intense messages with each other.

"Hey, am I seeing things? Could that be Qin Tianque, the current Dao Child of the Heavenly Sword Sect?!"

"You read that right, that is the Dao Child of the Heavenly Sword Path this generation. It is said that he has the Heavenly Heart Sword Body. At the time of his birth, ten thousand swords rang out together. The extraordinary phenomenon he cultivated is also the extremely famous Endless Sword Domain."

"Endless Sword Domain? Heh heh, I've heard that people who cultivate such a phenomenon are highly ostracized by other sword cultivators!"

"That's normal. Most sword cultivators only refine one sword in their entire lives, and quite a few treat their swords as Dao companions. It would be strange if someone like Qin Tianque, who can make a spirit sword respond with a flick of his finger, didn't incur the wrath of other sword cultivators."

"If he had a weaker background, he probably would have been killed before he even had a chance to grow up!"

"With a weaker background, one can't cultivate a first-grade extraordinary phenomenon!"

"So, what does this Daoist disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect want after chasing us all the way here?"

"Is that even a question? It's definitely because he's chasing those seven spirit swords. This guy's obsession is collecting spirit swords."

"I say, could it be that this guy was rejected by the spirit sword? Look at his unstable breathing, he seems to be injured."

"How is that possible? He possesses the Heavenly Heart Sword Body. Any unowned spiritual sword that encounters him would probably have to pay him to stay! What sword could resist this guy's seduction?"

"Don't even mention unowned spirit swords. I've heard that this Daoist has attracted the natal spirit swords of many elders in the sect. Fortunately, his elders are not weak, otherwise he would definitely not have had a good time. He still wants to be a Daoist."

"That's really exaggerated?"

"Of course."

"That doesn't make sense. They say everyone is different. It's impossible for all the spiritual swords in the world to be the kind of seductive sluts that this Heavenly Sword Daoist can easily seduce. There must also be the kind of chaste and virtuous women."

"It's hard to say, but there might be some. Those seven spirit swords from just now might be them."

"Look, that Daoist has sat down. He's probably planning to wait for that rogue cultivator Feng Bingwen to come out!"

"Good heavens, you really guessed right. Instead of seizing the opportunities all around, you chose to stand guard at the gate and block people. Perhaps those seven spirit swords really didn't give this Daoist boy any face and piqued his interest."

"Isn't there going to be a good show to watch later?"

"What a show! This is the Dao Child of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Unless the Blood Qin Sect also has an Imperial Son, who else at the same realm can be his match?"

"It's hard to say. That rogue cultivator named Feng Bingwen is too mysterious. None of us have ever seen him before, let alone heard of him."

I'd heard of him, and yet he still walked in.

"Xu Hong of the Star Gazing Pavilion is no ordinary person, but he couldn't even last two moves against him before being crippled. Look, he hasn't even gotten up yet; he's only left with a breath."

"Also, don't forget that Feng Bingwen has an ancient treasure that is suspected to be a celestial artifact. No matter how he got it, as long as he can use it once, he can send anyone away, regardless of whether they are a Daoist prince or an imperial prince."

"That's too shameless! Using such methods in a secret realm will not be tolerated by the sword immortals of the Heavenly Sword Sect!"

"Doesn't this mean there's going to be a fierce battle later?"

"It's hard to say, after all, I've never heard of this Feng Bingwen before, and I don't know where he came from."

"How about we leave a few men here to keep watch, while the rest of us go look for opportunities elsewhere, and then notify the brothers when a major battle is about to begin?"

"Well said. Since you've brought up your suggestion, let's start with you. You stay here and wait for news. If war breaks out, let us know."

"Get lost! You're dreaming!"

The outside world's commotion had nothing to do with Feng Bingwen, who had just stepped into the Thunder Sea Palace. He didn't even pay attention to it anymore, as he was already immersed in his dantian, as if he had received a great boost, and even the ancient sword tower with fewer cracks had been reduced.

The treasure is already in our hands, it can't fly away, why waste time worrying about it? The most urgent thing is to comprehend the thunder magic inheritance here.

Feng Bingwen had already realized that the Heavenly Book had given him seven bone swords by consuming his merits, and that the Thunder Sea Heavenly Palace here had nothing to do with it; he had entered through his own abilities.

Understanding this, Feng Bingwen felt proud and elated, but also extremely satisfied and accomplished. Although his motivation to persevere was somewhat strange, he ultimately withstood the test of a thousand lightning bolts striking him.

"Let's first comprehend the thunder magic!"

Feng Bingwen cleared his mind of distractions and walked through the vast Heavenly Palace. The first disciple of the Hidden Thunder Pavilion who had entered, as well as the female cultivator who had just entered with him, were nowhere to be found. At this moment, he was all alone, in the empty and desolate space, with only the faint rumble of thunder coming from outside.

"But where is the legacy?"

Based on past experience, after passing the test, one should directly receive the inheritance, but there was no inexplicable information being directly poured into his mind.

"Huh? This pillar?"

Suddenly, Feng Bingwen's expression changed, and his gaze fell on a thick pillar beside him that was so large that it would take several people to encircle it. He hesitated for a moment, then reached out and touched it. Immediately, a look of shock appeared on his face.

"Thunder!"

Soon, he reached out and touched the rest of the furnishings in the Heavenly Palace, not even sparing the floor tiles under his feet, and then he confirmed an extremely horrifying fact.

This magnificent celestial palace, resembling a dwelling place of heaven and earth, is entirely constructed from the most violent and turbulent power of thunder. Every flower, every blade of grass, every brick, and every stone here is imbued with thunder.

"The sages of ancient times are truly awe-inspiring!"

Feng Bingwen felt great admiration for the great master who arranged this inheritance. However, while admiring the sage, joy also arose in his heart because he had discovered the location of the inheritance.

Everywhere you look, above and below, they're everywhere. Unlike the outside world, where some idiot shouted out five inheritances, here, thunder magic inheritances are as numerous as hairs on a cow, countless in number, only differing in rank.

Even the most basic palm lightning technique is enough for a rogue cultivator to use as a trump card.

"You should also try to understand this!"

Feng Bingwen swayed, and five beams of spiritual light flew out from his body, landing and transforming into the five companion spirits.

Although his actions were tantamount to cheating for the other two cultivators, what kind of immortality is it if you don't use cheat codes?
