Tai Shi Peak, the summit.
On the misty mountaintop, Li Ming had his eyes closed, yet he knew the contents of the ninth sword stele perfectly.
A myriad of ethereal sword intents swirled around him, then burst forth with dazzling light.
At the same time, ripples spread across the void in front of Li Ming, like a stone breaking the tranquility of a calm lake. The ripples spread and surged in all directions.
The clouds rolled and unrolled in the sky. The next moment, two divine rays pierced through the sky, like two immortal swords breaking through the air, ringing out with a clang.
Standing before Li Ming, the spirit of Tai Shi Mountain stroked his long beard incessantly, his heart filled with immense excitement.
So many years have passed.
Finally, a peerless genius has emerged to inherit his master's mantle.
Li Ming absorbed all the inheritance from the nine sword steles in just nine days; what extraordinary talent!
"They're here!"
As the aged voice fell to the ground.
Buzz~
The void trembled continuously, as if in celebration or in lamentation, as an indescribable and powerful force suddenly descended upon Mount Taishi.
In an instant, the immense force alarmed countless creatures in the Northern Region.
That overwhelming power, so immense and unimaginable, was so shocking that cultivators and living beings within a thousand miles of the Stone Forest were utterly terrified and could hardly breathe.
After Li Ming became famous, countless people came from afar to see what was going on. When they saw such an amazing scene, they were so shocked that they froze like statues, unable to move.
Above the stone forest, amidst the sea of clouds, countless colorful lights transformed into rainbow bridges, appearing in the sky.
It exudes an ancient, powerful, and sacred aura; it is an immortal will that has traversed the long river of time and crossed countless spaces to arrive.
An ancient and magnificent gate appeared behind the sacred bridge, incredibly solid.
What is that?
"Is this the gate to the heavens? Legend has it that in ancient times, cultivators ascended to become immortals by crossing the divine bridge and reaching the heavenly gate."
Seeing this astonishing scene before them, everyone in the stone forest was utterly shocked. Just gazing at the divine bridge and the gate from afar, they felt an urge to kneel and submit.
Some heirs of immortal forces sensed a familiar aura from it and speculated about what this portal meant.
"An immortal will? Which great emperor has come back to life?"
"Is the owner of this temple still alive?"
This is not impossible.
Although there is no Great Emperor in the Xuanhuang Realm, it does not mean that there are no immortal beings in the myriad realms.
For a powerful being in the Immortal Realm, their immense power transcends multiple realms without a problem.
"The Sword Realm is one of the top-ranked worlds among all the worlds. It has many immortal lineages that have been passed down for millions of years, and has produced more than a dozen supreme sword masters in history."
At the same time, it also attracted many sword masters from other great realms to go to the Sword Realm to achieve enlightenment, such as the Primordial Sword Emperor.
However, I don't know what the situation is like in the Sword Realm now, or whether there's a Sword Emperor overseeing it..."
Before Li Ming, the spirit of Mount Taishi did its best to reveal all the information it knew.
Upon hearing this information, Li Ming nodded.
After he finished comprehending the nine sword tablets and released his sword intent, it seemed that he activated some settings of this dojo, directly instilling some memories into him.
Although the Primordial Sword Emperor was an immortal powerhouse, he did not establish a power. He only took in a few disciples. After attaining enlightenment in the Sword Realm, he traveled throughout the heavens. In his later years, he hastily left behind some things and then disappeared without a trace.
The Primordial Sword Emperor left behind many treasures in the Sword Realm, including his imperial weapon, so Li Ming needs to go to the Sword Realm in person to retrieve them.
This portal is the teleportation gate to the Sword Realm.
Only by mastering the Nine Swords of the Primordial Beginning can one invoke the will of immortality and summon the portal.
"It would be a real shame not to go..."
After a moment of contemplation, Li Ming made his decision.
This Primordial Sword Emperor can be considered one of the top three sword emperors in the history of the sword world. This is not an exaggeration, but an acknowledgment by the will of the sword world. When he attained enlightenment, he forcefully defeated the phantoms of several sword emperors.
And how precious are the things he left behind?
This is something that even the Sword Emperor considers a treasure, so you can imagine how valuable it is.
"But I went to the Sword Realm, how can I come back?"
"Haha, young friend, there's no need to worry."
Upon seeing that Li Ming was willing to go to the Sword Realm, the spirit of Tai Shi Mountain was overjoyed. He took out a sword-shaped token from his robes and said:
"Take this Primordial Sword and bind it to your master with your blood. If you wish to return to the Xuanhuang Realm, simply send enough true essence into it, and I can use my master's power to teleport you here."
Moreover, this sword token can save your life in a dangerous situation.
Li Ming accepted the token and nodded slightly.
It's good that they can come back. I'm just afraid it's a one-way portal. If they go there, they don't know when they'll be able to come back, which would be quite troublesome.
Although this life-saving method wasn't very useful to him, it was better to have it than not.
Having made his decision, Li Ming did not hesitate. He first briefly explained the situation through the communication jade tablet, and then directly stepped onto the divine bridge.
As he approached the portal, it was as if ten thousand swords rang out in unison. The ancient portal, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened wide, and boundless divine light surged out.
As the sky was bathed in rosy light, Li Ming stepped into it without looking back.
"That's... the wilderness?"
"Did he enter the gate to receive the Emperor's legacy?"
The many cultivators, still in shock, immediately noticed the tall, ethereal figure in the sky and murmured in disbelief.
The next moment.
In the sky, the mysterious, ancient, and powerful portal had vanished. The strange phenomena that had filled the sky seemed like an illusion, but everyone knew that it was not false.
The many cultivators and beings who witnessed this scene in the stone forest rushed to spread the news.
Many of those who witnessed it that day even had an epiphany and benefited greatly.
In the days that followed, some powerful figures from ancient lineages risked their lives to explore the Stone Forest, attempting to forcibly climb the mountain, only to be directly injured by an extremely powerful sword intent at the summit, and fled in terror.
Many people are convinced that the gate definitely contains the legacy of the Great Emperor, and Huang's talent has also been recognized by this Great Emperor, who then guided him away.
Only some ancient sword-wielding families, after personally going to the Stone Forest and gathering information, came to some conclusions.
