Chapter 2769: Ninth Sword Peak
This Sword Intent spread continuously. Not only did it envelop the countless ancient and gigantic palaces in the surroundings, it continued to spread.
The aura of death was like a smear of ink that enveloped the eight Sword Peaks.
Before long, even the eight Sword Peaks disappeared into the lifeless darkness. The entire Sword World seemed to be buried in a gigantic tomb!
Instantly, all the sword cultivators of the eight Sword Peaks stopped what they were doing and froze on the spot.
At the same time, they felt their hearts palpitate, as though they were buried alive under a tomb by an invisible force and could not breathe.
There was an extremely terrifying power hidden in the tomb.
An extreme sharpness that seemed to be able to tear through everything and destroy everything!
That sharpness was right beside everyone and could tear them into pieces at any moment!
What a powerful Sword Intent!”
The eight Peak Masters were shocked.
The scene before them was far more shocking than Su Zimo’s sword dance earlier on!
However, before long, Su Zimo seemed to be unable to withstand such a powerful Sword Intent. His body swayed slightly and his face turned incomparably pale. He woke up from his epiphany and opened his eyes, panting heavily.
Not far away, the Iron Crown Old Man looked at Su Zimo deeply.
To be able to withstand such a terrifying Sword Intent and envelop the entire Sword World, there was no way this lad’s Essence Spirit cultivation was at the Celestial Being realm!
Furthermore, this could only be done by a sufficiently condensed and powerful Essence Spirit.
“This lad is hiding his strength. Seems like he’s much stronger than he appears!”
The Iron Crown Old Man thought to himself.
When Su Zimo opened his eyes, he saw the eight Peak Masters who were dumbfounded and had completely lost their composure not far away. There was also an old man with an iron crown who stood in midair with a pale face. “So strong!”
Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat.
Although the Iron Crown Old Man did not release any Sword Intent, he felt an indescribable pressure in front of the old man!
This feeling was something that he had only experienced before from an expert like Bo Xun.
An Emperor realm expert!
Su Zimo had not expected that his enlightenment in front of the Zenith Heaven Sword Stele would alarm an Emperor expert.
Thank you for granting me this opportunity, seniors.”
Su Zimo thanked the eight Peak Masters and cupped his fists towards the Iron Crown Old Man not far away.
The Iron Crown Old Man descended slowly and stood on the ground like Su Zimo. The condescending pressure from earlier on had faded significantly as well.
He waved his hand gently and formed a sword qi barrier around him, enveloping Su Zimo, the eight Peak Masters and Beiming Xue.
Not only could the sword qi barrier isolate sound, even the spirit consciousnesses of the other Emperors of the Sword World could not permeate it!
“Su Zhu isn’t your real name, right?”
The Iron Crown Old Man asked.
Su Zimo looked at Lu Yun and the others before nodding slightly.
Su Zimo immediately understood that the Iron Crown Old Man must already
know his ident.i.ty as the Creation Green Lotus.
Since that was the case, there was no need for him to hide it.
Su Zimo nodded and said, “I’m Su Zimo. I was chased by my enemies because of my Green Lotus bloodline and had no choice but to hide my real name. Seniors, please forgive me.”
“It’s only right.”
The Iron Crown Old Man said, “It’s better for you to be careful before you can protect yourself.”
Pausing for a moment, the Iron Crown Old Man suddenly said, “Young Friend, since you fled here, you can be considered fated with our Sword World. Furthermore, your disciple and old friend is also here. I wonder if you’d be willing to join the Sword World?”
The eight Peak Masters exchanged glances and were secretly speechless.
Given the Iron Crown Old Man’s status, he actually invited Su Zimo to join the Sword World personally and addressed a Perfected Immortal as his young friend so politely!
Su Zimo was stunned as well.
Naturally, he had thought of this before. However, he did not expect that an
Emperor expert would appear to invite him!
Beiming Xue’s initially calm eyes fluctuated slightly with a hint of antic.i.p.ation.
Su Zimo remained silent.
After the incident at Heaven and Earth Academy, he subconsciously felt wary and resistant towards joining any sect or faction.
Although the Sect Master of the Academy looked studious and spoke of benevolence, he was extremely scheming and ruthless. Even now, he still felt a lingering fear when he thought about it.
When his scheme was exposed, the Sect Master of the Academy still carried a smile and recounted his kindness towards Su Zimo, explaining that it was for the latter’s own good.
However, in reality, there was only one goal behind every single sentence of the Sect Master of the Academy—to take advantage of him!
Not only did the Sect Master of the Academy want to take advantage of Su
Zimo, he wanted the latter to be grateful for it!
“Do you have any concerns?”
As though he had seen through something, the Iron Crown Old Man said, “Don’t worry, no one is to tell anyone about your true ident.i.ty as well as the matter of the Creation Green Lotus.”
The Iron Crown Old Man looked at the eight Peak Masters. “The eight of you are not allowed to tell anyone else about this, including the other Emperors of the Sword World!”
The eight Peak Masters’ hearts skipped a beat as they nodded one after another.
The fact that the Iron Crown Old Man wanted it hidden even from the other Emperors of the Sword World showed his sincerity!
Su Zimo was silent for a moment. “Even if I join the Sword World now, I might leave one day. I wonder…”
“It’s fine.”
The Iron Crown Old Man smiled. “Joining the Sword World will not restrict your freedom. No matter where you go in the future or what faction you create it’s up to you.”
“Alright.”
Su Zimo no longer hesitated and agreed.
For the past few years, the environment of the Sword World, the atmosphere of cultivation and the many sword cultivators he came into contact with made him have a good impression of them.
The feeling that the Iron Crown Old Man in front of him gave him was completely different from the Sect Master of the Academy.
The Sect Master of the Academy was like an unfathomable dark abyss that no one could see through.
As for the Iron Crown Old Man in front of him, his figure was like a sword and his clothes were open. His gaze was frank, making Su Zimo feel even more at ease.
When she heard Su Zimo agree, Beiming Xue smiled as well.
The two of them were only master and disciple.
However, Beiming Xue had a different feeling towards Su Zimo, as though she was relying on him like a father.
She had never had any other thoughts. She merely wanted to stay by Su Zimo’s side and cultivate.
She would be satisfied with that.
The eight Peak Masters were energized as well, becoming excited.
Su Zimo had already decided to join the Sword World. Whoever could invite Su
Zimo to join their Sword Peak would definitely be much stronger!
The eight Peak Masters looked at Su Zimo expectantly and tried their best to signal with their eyes. If not for the fact that the Iron Crown Old Man was present, they would probably have reached out to grab him directly…
The Iron Crown Old Man hollered angrily, “Why are the few of you winking? Do you want Su Zhu to become your disciple?”
“What else?”
The eight Peak Masters were stunned.
Lu Yun coughed gently. “Young Friend Su Zhu is not an Immortal King after all.
He can’t join Myriad Sword Palace directly or that’ll be breaking the rules.”
“Of course.”
The Iron Crown Old Man nodded slightly.
Lu Yun continued, “If he won’t be joining our eight Sword Peaks nor Myriad
Sword Palace, where else could he go? Unless…”
He seemed to have thought of something and stopped abruptly.
The expressions of the other seven Peak Masters changed as well!
The Iron Crown Old Man said slowly, “The Sword World will establish a ninth Sword Peak for Su Zhu that’s comparable to the eight Sword Peaks.. Su Zhu will be the Peak Master of the ninth Sword Peak!”
