Elder Huo clicked his tongue; so much time had passed that he had almost forgotten.

In his youth, he was a man of few words, wielding only a sword, living a carefree and unrestrained life. If he encountered injustice, he would draw his sword.

The most famous battle was when Xue Junhan, still in the Nascent Soul stage, encountered a Nascent Soul elder from the Tianchen Sect. It was naturally impossible for them to draw their swords at the slightest provocation.

There are many versions of why the sword was drawn.

Elder Chen of the Tianchen Sect wanted to take Xue Junhan as his master, but was naturally refused. Enraged, Elder Chen then attempted to kill Xue Junhan to silence him, and the two began to fight. This is the first version of the story.

The second version is that Xue Junhan stumbled upon some of Elder Chen's unspeakable secrets, and was then to be killed to silence him and eliminate any future trouble.

The third version is that the elders of the Tianchen Sect were jealous of Xue Junhan's talent and deliberately provoked him to fight. The young swordsman, full of vigor and high spirits, naturally could not tolerate it and a fight broke out.

There are a fourth, a fifth, and a sixth version. In short, the truth of the matter is no longer important. What matters is that Xue Junhan successfully challenged someone of a higher level, and Elder Chen was crippled by him and died not long after.

The people of the Heavenly Dust Sect were naturally unwilling to let the matter rest. Although they valued their reputation and wouldn't do anything outwardly, they kept making small moves behind the scenes.

Then, trouble began for Xue Junhan. Groups of people, all with the same goal, wanted to kill him.

There were people from the Heavenly Dust Sect, assassins, and spies; wave after wave of them appeared.

Xue Junhan fought a bloody battle for three hundred miles, breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage before the Canglan River, killing six Nascent Soul cultivators and shocking Hailan. Even the leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect was astonished and wanted to take Xue Junhan as his disciple.

However, after this battle, Xue Junhan disappeared. Many people speculated that he had broken through a desperate situation and, after another bloody battle, must have perished.

After the Heavenly Sword Sect Leader's search proved fruitless, he had no choice but to give up, which was a pity.

Thirty years later, Xue Junhan reappeared, now a mid-level alchemist, dressed in white, with a gentle and refined demeanor. The sharp edge of a swordsman was gone, and the sword he once carried had vanished.

Many people were shocked, angry, and incredulous.

Is he out of his mind, beaten up, or is someone trying to impersonate Xue Junhan?

The Heavenly Sword Sect Leader personally descended the mountain to verify this matter, but ultimately returned empty-handed. The world gradually accepted the reality that Xue Junhan had abandoned sword cultivation and turned to alchemy.

The Heavenly Dust Sect also abandoned its revenge against Xue Junhan. He was still the same person, but attacking a pill refiner would make him a laughingstock of the entire world.

Everyone felt sorry for Xue Junhan. What a talented swordsman, the swordsman with the strongest attack power. Why did he have to go and refine pills?

What's so great about alchemy when you're completely powerless? Most importantly, alchemy requires talent; not just anyone can do it, and not everyone can become a master alchemist who will astound Hailan.

However, these people's views were quickly overturned time and time again.

Xue Junhan, a swordsman who became an alchemist halfway through his life, spent five years becoming a high-level alchemist, twenty years becoming a king-level alchemist, and fifty years breaking through to the emperor-level alchemist, all under the watchful eyes of the world. In a hundred years, he became a divine master!

A divine master standing at the pinnacle of the Azure Continent.

Then, everyone reviewed Xue Junhan's history. He was a true winner in life, with a life that seemed to have been blessed with extraordinary luck, and nothing could stop him.

His sword practice amazed the world.

When he turned to alchemy, he reached a height that drove the world to despair.

The Divine Master is one of the most revered people on the Azure Continent. Although he has not yet become an immortal, he is already close to being a god.

His swordsmanship was rarely mentioned, and even when it was, it was usually dismissed with a laugh. Even the Heavenly Sword Sect Leader said he belonged to the Dao of Alchemy. His youthful days of wandering the world with a sword seemed to have become a legend, an unspeakable part of his life.

Time slowly passed, and Xue Junhan stood too high, so high that others could only look up to him, but could never reach him.

That past event gradually faded into the annals of history, and fewer and fewer people knew about it, eventually turning it into a secret.

Elder Huo glanced at the legendary figure standing beside him: "Your sword, is it still there?"

Xue Junhan glanced indifferently at Elder Huo and took out a sword from his back waist. The sword was wrapped in a layer of whitish black cloth, and looked very inconspicuous.

However, Elder Huo knew that this was the sword Xue Junhan had used before, the Dust White Sword that had not seen the light of day for thousands of years.

This time, Xue Junhan actually brought her out.

The sect leader has finished speaking, and it's time for them to set off.

The Haoqi Pavilion is located in the Eastern Territory, which is tens of millions of miles away from the Western Territory. Flying on a sword or using magical artifacts are not wise choices.

Moreover, the dangers they may face along the way are unknown. The demons have always been omnipresent, and the Western Regions have now become their stronghold. However, no one can guarantee that they will stay obediently in the Western Regions and not infiltrate the Central Plains, the Southern Lands, and the Northern Lands.
