The middle-aged man, however, flicked his finger and shattered the whistling sword light.
"Cautious, decisive, very good. As expected of a supreme ruler recognized by two human treasures, I was right. With your temperament, you truly have the qualifications to become a supreme human emperor!"
"If it were those trash from the inner city, they would probably have happily accepted that so-called source of the sea and been swallowed up by the endless sea. But you are different. Not only are you stronger than them, but your temperament is also far superior!"
"This is the kind of human emperor that my human race needs!"
"This is the Human Emperor who can lead my human race to conquer the heavens!"
"This is the Supreme Human Emperor who can reach the Nine Heavens, conquer all the celestial palaces, and find the places where Pangu, Fuxi, and Nuwa once lived!"
"Su Bai, since you have seen through my test, you have passed the test of my Endless Sea. The following is the true origin of the sea. I hope you will take it with you, carrying the mission of my great human race's revival, break through the pseudo-saint realm, and thus prove the Dao of the Human Emperor!"
That's all.
The middle-aged man's eyes flickered, and a piece of the Sea Origin, just like before, flew out from his dantian and once again hovered in front of Su Bai.
But Su Bai did not take it; instead, he raised and lowered his longsword, shattering the so-called source of the sea once again.
Splash...
Just like before, this source of the sea instantly transformed into a mass of seawater that flowed into the ocean.
Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man's expression suddenly changed, but he quickly concealed it and returned to his original amiable face.
He sighed, and was about to say something when he was interrupted by the oncoming sword light.
Before he could react, a magnificent longsword radiating seven-colored light was instantly suspended above his neck.
"Young man, you..."
A flicker of panic crossed the middle-aged man's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and forced a smile.
However,
Su Bai showed no mercy, and with a swift movement of his longsword, he killed the middle-aged man.
Surprisingly, the middle-aged man who died did not have a body; instead, he transformed into a miniature version of an endless sea.
However, it was not as pure as the one the middle-aged man had handed to Su Bai before. Instead, it was pitch black, filled with bursts of blood-red and black mist, and looked extremely sinister.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
......
As the sword energy of the Human Emperor Sword surged in, this miniature sea seemed to boil, continuously spewing out blood-red black mist.
At the same time, screams of agony echoed continuously from that place!
"Damn it, you can't do this! This is an opportunity I finally got, you can't do this!"
"Aaaaaah! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"
"Aaaaaah..."
As the last wisp of black mist flowed in, this miniature sea area returned to its original, pure appearance as seawater.
It gave Su Bai a human-like look, and then directly burrowed into Su Bai's body.
This time, Su Bai did not refuse, allowing it to enter his dantian and stay with his miniature Lingchuan.
The reason for all this was something he understood long ago, after Huang Wushi explained to him that the nine sacred sites were actually human sacred mountains.
The reason why the ancestors of the human race placed nine dojos here was so that those who broke through to the Great Emperor realm would have the cultivation of a pseudo-saint when they arrived in the Heavenly Realm!
This is a process that every strong person must go through. Although it is cruel, it can bring about a qualitative leap in the overall strength of the people in the Heavenly Path Realm!
The reason why one only needs to undergo three trials to reach Tianxing City is simply because the Celestial Palace of the Heavens uses this method to control the Tianxing Realm in order to prevent it from growing stronger.
After all, as long as they don't go through the Human Race's sacred mountain, they can control the shackles that prevent the peak pseudo-saints in the Heavenly Path Realm from breaking through to the true saint realm!
It could even be said that all people and races in the Heavenly Realm are livestock raised by the Celestial Palaces of the Heavens!
If you don't break through to the True Saint realm, you'll forever remain an ant in the Heavenly Realm, unable to pose a threat, and they won't care. But if you want to break through to the True Saint realm and pursue a higher level, then you'll have no choice but to beg them, and step by step become their vassal, a lackey who serves them!
This endless sea is one of the nine Daoist temples. There is no way there could be any boatmen on it. If there were, there would only be one:
The origin of the sea!
The reason why the powerful emperors were able to enter the Heavenly Realm after passing three trials was simply because the Celestial Palace of the Heavens used methods on the origin of the sea to bewitch its mind, or perhaps they made some kind of deal with it.
Su Bai had already seen this very clearly when he boarded the ship.
Moreover, through this, he developed deep suspicions about the river god and mountain lord he had encountered in Lingchuan and even Tianjue Mountain.
After all, in this place of trials and tribulations, they collected magical treasures, such as the Breeze Bamboo, to help cultivators easily overcome the trials.
Such signs, just like the boatmen who could only board the ship by collecting Heavenly Crystals, suggest that they too may have been bewitched by the methods used by the Celestial Palaces.
Whoosh!
Upon realizing this, Su Bai's eyes narrowed, and his sword aura surged. The small boat moved without wind and quickly brought him to the shore.
"Look, it's a sword immortal from Tianxing City, so powerful!"
"He's still on a boat, but why isn't there a boatman? Could it be that the legendary boatman is this sword immortal?"
"As expected of the Heavenly Path Realm, a place teeming with powerful individuals, even the boatman is such a formidable person. This situation is truly an eye-opener!"
"Haha, don't overthink it. We'll be able to enter the Heavenly Realm soon, so what's the rush?"
"That's true!"
"......"
At this moment, a large number of people from the lower realm gathered on the shore, and many of them showed excitement when they saw Su Bai.
However, a small number of people who knew about the boatman or knew him looked puzzled.
Because they didn't see the boatman on the boat.
"Excuse me, Sword Immortal, where is the boatman?" an elderly semi-saint asked in a deep voice.
Su Bai ignored him, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and strode away from the spot.
Not long after he left, one wooden bridge after another appeared, guiding these people from the lower realm.
......
Not long after.
Su Bai arrived at Tianjue Mountain, and his cultivation level dropped from the Guanhai Realm to the Loushan Realm.
Just like when I first arrived here, I will have to go through a test to get to the top of the mountain.
However, this was not a difficult task for Su Bai, who had already reached the Nine Revolutions Sword Body.
In less than a quarter of an hour, he arrived at the top of Tianjue Mountain and saw the magnificent and imposing building.
"You've arrived?"
Upon hearing this, Su Bai said nothing and calmly walked inside.
At this moment, the mountain king remained as calm and composed as before, sitting cross-legged at the foot of the towering mountain peak.
But unlike before, there were hundreds of piles of bamboo, as tall as small mountains, placed beside him.
Bamboo in the breeze is inherently a calming plant. When so many bamboo stalks are piled together, the aura they release can inexplicably bring people into a state of tranquility.
Even someone as strong-willed as Su Bai felt the subtle, mysterious energy lingering in his heart, calming his mind, at this moment.
“I have seen what you have done in the sea.”
