Remould the Glory of Sword Art

Chao Yin Pavilion, located in the eastern part of the Li Kingdom, is the most famous Cultivation Holy Land along the coast of the Da Li Dynasty.

Back then, when Xie Xuanyi traversed the Four Realms challenging swords, he naturally wouldn't miss the Chao Yin Pavilion.

The reason he remembers this white-haired old man before him.

Is not only because of his striking facial features.

"Actually, at that time, I didn't want to fight with the young cultivators of Chao Yin Pavilion."

Xie Xuanyi smiled and said, "They were indeed too weak... Back then, I actually wanted to spar with you. Your strength was still quite good."

"???"

Upon hearing this.

The face of the white-haired old man immediately turned peculiar.

The look directed at Xie Xuanyi by a few disciples behind him also became unfriendly.

But constrained by the reputation of the "Da Sui Sword Palace" and the "Ten Heroes of the World," they truly couldn't react.

"Master Xie is indeed of Heavenly Human Appearance."

The white-haired old man took a deep breath and said with a smile, "I have been stuck at the Seventeen Realms for many years, and I realize the chance of reaching the pinnacle of Condensing Dao in this lifetime is slim... But what if I could gain some insight? My purpose in stepping onto the stage today is to fulfill my greatest wish in life, to see clearly the gap between myself and a 'Condensing Daoist.'

These words are quite thought-provoking.

Condensing Daoists are all Yang Gods.

But Xie Xuanyi is the only exception.

As an elder of Chao Yin Pavilion, the white-haired old man has of course witnessed the terror of a Yang God, he knows the gap between himself and a Yang God... But if he were to challenge Xie Xuanyi of the Yin God Realm, he wouldn't think so.

He doesn't believe, in this world, there exists a Yin God that can stand shoulder to shoulder with a Yang God.

"..."

Xie Xuanyi said nothing, merely watching the person before him in silence, allowing him to continue his performance.

The white-haired old man said in a deep voice, "I wish to have a duel with Master Xie!"

The words fell.

The once quiet Lotus Dojo suddenly became noisy!

After three days of sermons, fewer cultivators were attaining enlightenment...

At this moment, most cultivators had already "awakened."

The appearance of these few cultivators from Chao Yin Pavilion immediately caught everyone's attention.

Their purpose on stage was not to ask for guidance? Clearly, it was to seek instruction!

"Seventeen Realms, is a bit too much of a difference."

Xie Xuanyi shook his head with a smile, saying, "Although your age is high, your realm is too low... Wasn't sending you over from the Li Kingdom to stir things up a bit ill-considered?"

"..."

After saying those previous words, the white-haired old man fell silent.

It seemed as if he was just waiting for this sentence.

Upon hearing this response, the white-haired old man immediately spoke, "Since Master Xie also believes that the strength of both sides of this battle is vastly different, could you permit me to bring my disciples... to form an array here?"

Chao Yin Pavilion specializes in array formations.

If supported by a top-tier Great Array—

Even if this white-haired old man's cultivation was only at the Seventeen Realms of the Yin God, he could wield the power of the Twentieth Realm or even the "Great Perfection."

Regarding the request of Chao Yin Pavilion.

Xie Xuanyi merely waved his sleeve and calmly uttered a word.

"Please."

As soon as the word fell, the pupil of the white-haired old man lit up with brilliance, he slightly tilted his head, and with a look, the six disciples behind him quickly scattered around the dojo, casting a large number of talismans—

Crash!

All of a sudden.

The sound of waves echoed through the Lotus Dojo, as the talismans enveloped a hundred feet, a Green Water Barrier rose from the ground.

The white-haired old man in the center of the Barrier no longer concealed his aura, he was not at the Seventeenth Realm at all... a strand of Golden Divine Thought surged from the top of his Heavenly Spirit, from above the Green Water Barrier, a magnificent dharma appeared vaguely, and under the impact of this dharma's aura, the entire Lotus Dojo erupted with a series of shocking sounds.

Not far from the dojo.

"Nineteen Realm cultivator..."

Qi Lie spoke with hands behind his back, without any expression, "This Yin God from Chao Yin Pavilion, is deeply hidden."

The dossier sent from the Book Tower, Xie Xuanyi hadn't read a word of it.

Qi Lie, however, hadn't missed a single word.

The report mentioned that this time Chao Yin Pavilion had a Guest Elder of the Seventeen Realms crossing the river north to Da Sui Sword Palace to listen to the sermon, probably with the intent to "cause a ruckus."

This estimate from the report was very accurate.

However, the judgment regarding the strength of this Guest Elder was wrong.

Si Qi frowned and said, "This old thing deliberately concealed his strength? Was he afraid Senior Brother wouldn't agree to the duel?"

"Green Sea Concealing God Array."

Qi Lie said casually, "I heard this Great Array is ranked among the top five in Li Kingdom for power-boosting arrays... The formation core is extremely difficult to set up, this old thing sure came prepared, his cultivation of the Nineteen Realm under the array's augmentation can probably rise two more realms."

"Nineteen Realms... rising two more realms?"

Si Qi was taken aback upon hearing this.

A Yin God has only twenty realms, rising two more realms, into what level would that be?

Si Qi had a headache.

This was the first time he regretted not practicing diligently in usual times.

The last time the Sword Palace faced great calamity, it was fine he couldn't help... Now, with an uninvited guest challenging his Senior Brother at their doorstep, he couldn't even assess the situation.

"Is this Concealing God Array really that formidable..."

Si Qi anxiously looked at Qi Lie and cautiously asked, "Senior Brother... is there a danger?"

Qi Lie, who always anticipated the worst-case scenario, upon hearing this, couldn't help but chuckle.

"Danger?"

Qi Lie mocked, "The danger of accidentally killing someone?"

...

...

The Green Sea Concealing God Array was completed in ten breaths.

A grand body of water rose from the ground, almost covering the entire Lotus Dojo!

Under the enveloping powerful water vapor, the shriveled figure of the white-haired old man instantly became imposing, he took an elixir from his bosom and consumed it, after which the decay in his eyes was swept away, standing straight with golden light seemingly about to shoot from his eyes.

"The Green Abyss Profound Life Pill of Chao Yin Pavilion..."

Xie Xuanyi watched this scene and said with a smile, "I heard that taking this pill makes you live ten years less."

"Even if I live ten years less, what does it matter if I can win this battle?"

The white-haired old man also smiled.

After consuming the Golden Core, his aura surged once again, breaking the Nineteenth Realm with a rather fierce posture, reaching the Twentieth Realm.

This was truly the Perfect Yin God Realm.

Xie Xuanyi gave the other enough time.

The Great Array settled, the core worked.

The aura on the white-haired old man's body surged again and again, and finally stabilized.

Above the Green Sea Concealing God Array, the dharma condensed was already pressing the crowd in the dojo to the point they couldn't breathe.

However, Xie Xuanyi still just sat on the ground.

He rested his chin in his hand and asked, "Is there more?"

"...?"

The white-haired old man was taken aback for a moment, realizing that Xie Xuanyi was asking if he had any other tricks, and found himself laughing out of anger.

"Master Xie, please!"

The white-haired old man gathered Qi at the Heavenly Spirit, speaking confidently in a deep voice.

Under the augmentation of the Green Sea Barrier, this sound thundered for several miles, instilling fear into the hearts of people.

"Alright."

Xie Xuanyi simply uttered a word.

The black-robed young Sword Immortal sat on the ground, slowly raised his head, and looked up at the mighty dharma like a descending deity.

The white-haired old man sneered, silently chanting and gesturing.

As one could see, the imposing dharma, from above the Green Sea Barrier, "slowly" descended, truly like a descending god, extending its arm towards Xie Xuanyi, seemingly to directly crush this "black ant"——

Numerous clouds shattered.

This descending palm threw a shadow on the ground, growing bigger.

"..."

Xie Xuanyi did not make any move, merely placing his hands on his knees.

He looked up to meet the dharma of the Twentieth Realm face to face.

The next moment.

A strand of Golden Sword Qi swept out from the center of Xie Xuanyi's brow.

This strand of Sword Qi moved too fast.

Fast that no one could discern its trajectory.

Yet everyone could clearly see the fragmentation of the brawny dharma's arm.

With a dreadful wail from the Heavenly Peak——

The hundred-zhang arm extended by the dharma shattered inch by inch, penetrated by the golden light, destroyed with overwhelming force!

The entire Green Sea Concealing God Array was instantly pierced through!

Thousands of talismans simultaneously shattered in an instant!

The once overwhelming pressure enshrouding the Lotus Dojo poured out like mercury, draining clean in just a breath.
