If Zhou Wuji's words were to spread, one of the three pillars of faith in the hearts of countless sword cultivators would likely crumble.
Even Luo Hanyi was stunned for a long time, never expecting that the Sword Immortal had such a secret, and for a moment she could not accept it.
But Zhou Xingdou saw through it all, and had to admit that his mother, whom he had never met, was such an interesting sword immortal.
However, he was more curious about the Absolute Sword lineage and his own negative talent in swordsmanship, so he asked:
"Why can't I sense the Sword Vein? Moreover, my understanding of swordsmanship is like reading a book written in heaven; I haven't gained any insight whatsoever."
Zhou Wuji was not annoyed by Zhou Xingdou's questions and continued to explain carefully:
"The lineage of the Absolute Sword first severs one's own swordsmanship, and then severs the swordsmanship of others. Therefore, no matter how much you cultivate the swordsmanship, you will not be able to comprehend even a fraction of it."
Moreover, the Absolute Sword Vein, like the Zhou family bloodline, is not a physique but a bloodline. You can't usually feel it, and how to activate it is up to you.
However, once unleashed, it can be called the nemesis of the sword path; reaching a certain level, it can sever the great sword path in the world, leaving no one in the world with the way of the sword to cultivate.
Zhou Xingdou suddenly realized this, which also made him wonder about the system. After all, his panel did not seem to display the Zhou family bloodline and the Absolute Sword lineage, but he did not know why.
Perhaps the system is not perfect yet?
However, when the topic turned to the nemesis of swordsmanship, his thoughts drifted to his master, the Falling Cloud Sword Immortal Tian Jiu'er, and he asked curiously:
"Does that mean that I have awakened the Absolute Sword Vein and can then restrain Tian Jiu'er?"
Luo Hanyi's eyes immediately flashed with hostility, and she gripped Zhou Xingdou's waist again with her jade-like hand, because she knew that Zhou Xingdou's words "restraint" were by no means a good thing.
She was not unaware of Zhou Xingdou's feelings for Tian Jiu'er. Although she didn't mind too much, she still couldn't help feeling jealous.
Zhou Xingdou also realized that it was inappropriate to say this in front of Luo Hanyi, so he quickly hugged Luo Hanyi and comforted her.
Zhou Wuji looked at the two of them and a helpless smile appeared on his face.
In the Zhou family across generations, only Zhou Xingdou has produced such a passionate person.
However, this is not necessarily a bad thing for the Zhou family's already meager lineage, since the Zhou family can afford to support Zhou Xingdou no matter how many wives he has.
Zhou Wuji also felt that he was getting old, and at this moment he even imagined the scene of having a large number of great-grandchildren, too many to hold, and a look of hope appeared on his face.
However, he still answered Stephen Chow's question:
"Tian Jiu'er's swordsmanship has already transcended. Your mother once said that her Absolute Sword Lineage could not sever Tian Jiu'er's swordsmanship. Unless you can surpass your mother, I'm afraid the Absolute Sword Lineage will have no effect on Tian Jiu'er."
Zhou Wuji's words slightly disappointed Zhou Xingdou. If even his mother, who was on par with Tian Jiu'er, couldn't use the Absolute Sword Vein to restrain Tian Jiu'er.
If he hasn't even activated the Absolute Sword Meridian yet, wouldn't it be a long time before he can do it?
Meanwhile, Fahai and Yuan Tian were taken by Qin Ming to a cave. The fierce aura in the cave was like a sea, and it looked like a gaping maw ready to devour people!
Qin Ming's eyes, filled with the vicissitudes of life, looked at Yuan Tian and Fahai, and his deep, resonant voice said indifferently:
“You are too weak. If my true body were not required to guard the passage, you would not be qualified to protect the young master with your cultivation level.”
Upon hearing this, Fahai tightened his grip on the Wuwang Buddhist beads, a look of resentment on his face.
Because he understood that although Qin Ming's words were harsh, they were not wrong.
At least now, Fahai is too weak to accompany Zhou Xingdou. His peak Saint-level cultivation can only be used for miscellaneous tasks.
This is something that Fahai has always been unwilling to change, yet has been trying to do.
However, Zhou Xingdou grew too fast. Even though Fahai cultivated from the early stage of sainthood to the peak in just one month, he still could not catch up with Zhou Xingdou's pace.
Even Yuan Tian remained silent at this moment, because even as a Saint, he could sense that the number of powerful figures around Zhou Xingdou was constantly increasing.
Although she was well-behaved and tactful, which earned her some respect from Stephen Chow, her sense of crisis never diminished.
No one knows if there will be someone who is more favored and more loyal to Zhou Xingdou than themselves, and whether they will still be able to avoid being forgotten by Zhou Xingdou then.
Qin Ming's words, coupled with bringing the two of them here, already had a self-evident meaning.
Yuan Tian also suddenly knelt down on one knee and said firmly to Qin Ming:
"Emperor Qin, as long as it can increase our strength, Yuan Tian can accept any difficulty. Please grant my request, Emperor Qin."
Fahai also bowed in reverence to the Buddha:
"This humble monk feels the same way; I beg the Qin Emperor to grant my request."
Qin Ming glanced at the two of them indifferently before looking towards the cave:
"There are 38,732 evil spirits in this cave who want to break into the Primordial Realm. Each of them has the strength of a Saint Realm expert in the Primordial Realm, and some of them are comparable to a Great Saint or a half-step Supreme.
I will soon annihilate the demons that surpass the strength of a half-step supreme being, and place resources and cultivation techniques inside to transform it into a trial realm, maximizing your chances of survival.
I don't need to elaborate on the benefits of slaying demons, but even if I slay a demon with supreme strength, this secret realm will still be a place where you face a nine-out-of-ten chance of death.
Moreover, I will not help you if your lives are in danger.
After Qin Ming finished explaining, he looked at Fahai and Yuan Tian again and said indifferently:
"I will ask you one last time if you are willing to enter. If you are not willing, I will not force you, but once you are inside, it will be too late to get out."
More than 38,000 demons, each one comparable to a holy realm!
Moreover, some of them possessed the strength of a Great Sage or were at the half-step Supreme level.
Let alone facing Fahai and Yuan Tian, who are both at the early stage of the Supreme Saint realm and at the peak of the Saint realm, even if you were to switch to a Half-Step Supreme, it would be a nine-out-of-ten chance of death!
The terrifying nature of evil might not be fully understood by Fahai, but Yuan Tian knew it perfectly well.
According to the standards of the Primordial Realm, a demon with the strength of a Saint would require at least three Saints from the Primordial Realm to contend with.
To annihilate a demon with the strength of a saint, it would take five saints!
This was not just a matter of nine out of ten chances of survival, it was practically a certain death. Even though he had just made up his mind, he couldn't help but feel the urge to back down.
After all, this wasn't a difficulty, it was a certain death situation.
But at this moment, Fahai firmly spoke up:
"Fahai is willing to enter and will never regret it. I beg the Qin Emperor to grant his request."
Even Fahai, a Saint Realm expert, did not hesitate or feel fear. If Yuan Tian hesitated any longer, he would be disgracing the Divine Martial Sect. After all, he was still a member of the Zhou family's affiliated forces. How could he lose his spirit at this moment!
This made Yuan Tian grit his teeth and stomp his foot, saying:
“Yuan Tian is also willing to enter; we humbly request Emperor Qin’s permission.”
"Very well, then I, the Emperor, will grant your wish!"
A satisfied smile appeared on Qin Ming's lips as he casually waved his hand, blasting Yuan Tian and Fahai into the cave filled with malevolent energy.
(Happy New Year to all my fellow book lovers!)
