Chen Xin's excitement gradually subsided, and her eyes finally fell on Ning Liu.
This time, there was no longer any scrutiny in his eyes that one might expect from an elder looking at a younger person.
"I……"
Chen Xin's lips moved, as if she wanted to say something to express her gratitude, but she felt that any words would seem pale and powerless at this moment.
In the end, he simply looked at Ning Liu deeply and solemnly uttered a few words.
"I never expected your understanding of swordsmanship to be so profound. Now, I consider myself half your disciple!"
This one sentence is worth more than a thousand words.
He did not ask Ning Liu why a support-type Soul Master would have such insights.
However, the kindness shown to us today is like a second life, and it is far more important to remember it in our hearts than to say it aloud.
"Old Swordsman, alright, alright, stop being so sour."
Gu Rong rubbed his hands together and came closer, his eyes darting between Ning Liu and Chen Xin with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
"Hey kid, what kind of monster are you?"
Ning Liu smiled upon hearing this, but did not answer the nonsensical question.
As he looked at Chen Xin, the bold idea in his mind became clearer.
The timing is perfect.
Having just broken through to the next level, Chen Xin's sword heart is now clear, and his will, spirit, and soul power are at an unprecedented peak and pure state. At this moment, his resonance with the gods is undoubtedly at its strongest.
"Grandpa Sword,"
"Today you have broken through and established yourself anew, a cause for celebration. I have another opportunity here that may allow your swordsmanship to reach a new level."
"oh?"
Chen Xin raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued.
He had just broken through to level 98 and his confidence was at its peak, but unexpectedly Ning Liu said that he could go even further.
If anyone else had said this, he would have scoffed, but since it was Ning Liu who said it, he had no choice but to believe it.
Gu Rong exclaimed in surprise, "There's more? Just how many good things are you hiding in your belly, kid? Hurry up and show them to this old man!"
Emperor Xueye and Prince Xuexing also held their breath, feeling that their hearts were undergoing a test today that was greater than all of the past decades combined.
Ning Liu said no more, but calmly raised his right hand and gently waved it towards the empty space in the center of the room.
Buzz—
There was no fluctuation of soul power, nor any flicker of light.
But just as he waved his hand, an ancient stone altar appeared out of thin air.
The altar was not large, about three meters in diameter, and its entire surface was covered with a hazy, chaotic gray color, with countless mysterious and ancient patterns engraved on it.
"What...what is this?"
Gui Dulu and the others were astonished.
"The altar of faith!"
Ning Fengzhi's voice rang out.
He had seen it once before, but witnessing it again still left him deeply shocked.
He explained, "This is Ning Liu's opportunity—an altar that allows him to communicate with the gods and obtain the chance to become a god!"
"What?!"
Gu Rong stumbled, almost losing his balance. He pointed at the altar, then at Ning Liu, his tongue practically lolling out:
"Communicating with...gods? The path to godhood? Fengzhi, are you...you're not kidding?"
Emperor Xueye and Prince Xuexing's minds went blank for a moment.
Become a god!
They suddenly remembered Ning Liu's bold statement: "Within five years, I will add five more Title Douluos to the sect."
So... that wasn't arrogance after all!
With such a heaven-defying ability, as long as one has enough talent, let alone cultivating five Title Douluos, even cultivating a true god wouldn't be a pipe dream!
At this moment, the way they looked at Ning Liu had completely changed.
Chen Xin was also deeply shaken, staring intently at the altar of faith!
"Grandpa Sword,"
Ning Liu's voice brought everyone back to their senses.
"Please ascend the altar, concentrate your mind, and unleash your sword intent."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xin nodded solemnly to Ning Liu and Ning Fengzhi without the slightest hesitation. Then, he took a step forward, his figure as sharp as a sword, and landed steadily in the center of the altar of faith.
The moment his feet touched the altar, the ancient patterns on the entire altar suddenly lit up, and beams of gray light shot into the sky, enveloping him.
Chen Xin closed his eyes and did as he was told.
He released his perfectly clear and pure sword heart without reservation, and the purest and most powerful level 98 sword intent, which could tear through space, soared into the sky!
Buzz buzz buzz!
The Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul emerged from his body and hovered behind him.
Nine spirit rings shone brightly on the sword.
The space above the altar began to distort, the light and shadow shifting, as if an invisible eye, from a distant dimension, had lowered its gaze and was scrutinizing the seeker of the Dao on the altar.
Suddenly, the temperature in the entire room plummeted, and a cold, murderous aura descended from nowhere!
Above the altar, amidst the distorted light and shadow, a blurry yet towering blood-red phantom slowly materialized.
The phantom's face was obscured, but simply standing there, it seemed to be the embodiment of all concepts of "killing intent" in the world.
The murderous aura emanating from him even caused the Seven Kill Sword behind Chen Xin to emit mournful cries!
Under the pressure of this aura, Gu Rong's expression changed, and he released his Bone Dragon Martial Soul once again, firmly protecting Ning Fengcun, Emperor Xueye, and the others behind him.
Even so, everyone still felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their souls trembling.
"What...god is this?"
Ning Fengzhi exclaimed in shock.
"Such terrifying killing intent..."
Gu Rong gritted his teeth, and a layer of frost appeared on his bone armor.
Just then, the blood-red divine phantom slowly raised a finger and gently touched Chen Xin below.
