Chapter 2770: Good Karma
Although the eight Peak Masters had already guessed that, the eight of them were still shocked when they heard it from the Iron Crown Old Man.
A ninth Sword Peak!
The eight Peak Masters exchanged glances and smiled bitterly.
Earlier on, they were still thinking about how to get Su Zimo to be their disciple. Now, there was no need for them to fight anymore. Su Zimo was the Peak Master of the ninth Sword Peak!
This could also show how highly the Iron Crown Old Man regarded Su Zimo.
Not only did he personally invite him, he even wanted to establish a single Sword Peak for him!
With a smile on his face, Lu Yun couldn’t help but tease, “Good lord, what a meteoric rise. He’s now on par with the few of us.”
“That’s right.”
The Peak Master of Sever Sword Peak smiled as well. “We have to be careful in the future and not address him as Young Friend anymore.”
The two Peak Masters spoke in a relaxed tone and joked, clearly harboring no ill intentions towards Su Zimo.
Even though Su Zimo was about to become the Peak Master of the ninth Sword Peak with his Perfected Immortal cultivation realm and was comparable to them, there was no displeasure or resistance on the faces of the eight Peak Masters. Instead, they were happy for Su Zimo.
Beiming Xue, who had a calm expression the entire time, opened her mouth instinctively in disbelief when she heard the Iron Crown Old Man’s decision.
In the blink of an eye, her master had become the Peak Master of a Sword Peak?
Among the legacy disciples of this generation, the three successors that the Sword World valued the most were her, Yun Ting and Lin Xunzhen.
However, no matter how much the three of them were valued, it was not to this extent.
Such treatment for Su Zimo was probably unprecedented in the history of the Sword World!
Su Zimo was surprised as well.
Initially, he thought that he would be a normal legacy disciple after joining the Sword World. To think that the Iron Crown Old Man would make such a heavy promise!
Su Zimo cupped his fists. “Senior, I’m extremely grateful for your good intentions. However, my cultivation is insufficient and I’m still inexperienced. To make me a Peak Master directly, wouldn’t that be…
He was not pretending to be polite, but that was the truth.
It had only been slightly more than three years since he arrived at the Sword World.
The moment he agreed to join the Sword World, he became the Peak Master of a Sword Peak. There was no way he could convince the ma.s.ses.
The Peak Masters of the eight Sword Peaks were all peak Immortal Kings.
Even as a Perfected Immortal, he was only at the Celestial Being realm.
Among the Perfected Immortals of the Sword World, many sword cultivators were above him. For example, Lin Xunzhen, who was known as the number one legacy disciple, was more qualified than him no matter how he looked at it.
Unexpectedly, before Su Zimo could finish, the Iron Crown Old Man waved his hand. “In our Sword World, background and qualifications don’t matter.”
“Your cultivation realm is a little low, but just that Sword Intent earlier on is enough for you to become the Peak Master of the ninth Sword Peak!”
The eight Peak Masters nodded as well.
They had just experienced that terrifying Sword Intent personally and still felt a lingering fear when they recalled it.
Su Zimo was still hesitant.
Apart from the Sword Burial Dao that he had just comprehended, there was probably another reason why he could become the Peak Master of the ninth Sword Peak—his Green Lotus True Body.
However, no one else knew about this and the Iron Crown Old Man would not permit them to spread it either.
When the other sword cultivators heard that he had become the Peak Master of the ninth Sword Peak, they would definitely be indignant. At that time, there would definitely be some trouble.
The Iron Crown Old Man continued, “Don’t worry, this matter is settled. No one can challenge your status!”
“Furthermore, we can’t keep a low profile about this matter. We have to hold a grand event and let the name of the ninth Sword Peak spread so that the surrounding worlds will know who the Peak Master of the ninth Sword Peak is.”
Su Zimo was dumbfounded.
Lu Yun explained with a smile, “This is the good intentions of my master. Our Sword World is a super large world. Your status as a Peak Master shall be your protection talisman.”
“If anyone dares to lay a hand on you using their statuses or powers unfairly, the factions and worlds backing them would have to think carefully about the consequences!”
Lu Yun’s last sentence was filled with killing intent!
In reality, that was also the case.
Peak Masters were not ordinary legacy disciples.
If an Immortal King expert crossed a major cultivation realm to attack Su Zimo, it would be equivalent to breaking a hidden rule. The Sword World would have every reason to retaliate and take revenge!
Even Immortal King experts of other super large worlds would have to think twice before attacking Su Zimo, let alone lesser worlds and middle worlds.
Of course, fights between those of the same cultivation realm were other matters.
In the opinion of the Iron Crown Old Man, although Su Zimo’s cultivation realm was only at the Celestial Being realm, he should be able to protect himself against Paradise Void Perfected Immortals with his Green Lotus True Body.
Now that he was given the status of the Peak Master of the ninth Sword Peak, Su Zimo could do whatever he wanted in many worlds!
Anyone who dared to touch him had to think about the Sword World behind him!
“Congratulations, congratulations!”
“Congratulations, Brother Su.”
The other Peak Masters went forward to congratulate him.
At this point, Su Zimo could not decline any longer and could only agree shamelessly.
He smiled bitterly. “I’m new here and don’t know anything about being a Peak Master. Please guide me in the future, seniors.”
“Man!”
The Peak Master of Tyrant Sword Peak said, “Brother Su, since you’re a Peak Master, you can just address us as fellow brothers. As for the matter of the Peak Master, there’s no rush. Once the ninth Sword Peak is established, everything will naturally fall into place.”
Lu Yun nodded as well. “It’s not so easy to open up a new Sword Peak and there are many implications. It will probably take hundreds or even thousands of years. Brother Su, don’t worry, you can slowly familiarize yourself with it.” “That long?”
Su Zimo was shocked.
In a flash, the Iron Crown Old Man returned to his cultivation ground in the blink of an eye.
Compared to the other palaces, the cultivation place of the Iron Crown Old Man was extremely simple and crude. There was only a simple straw hut.
The Iron Crown Old Man pushed the door open and entered. Mist rose in the straw hut and the fragrance of tea wafted into one’s nose. The vague figures of two other old men with white hair, one fat and one thin, could be seen drinking tea leisurely.
When they saw the Iron Crown Old Man return, the fat and thin old man gave him a thumbs up at the same time and praised him, “Iron Head, you’re really something. In order to retain that kid’s Sword Burial inheritance, you’re actually willing to open up a ninth Sword Peak for him!”
“Amateurs!”
The Iron Crown Old Man pursed his lips in disdain at the two old men’s praise.
“Why? Did you have any other considerations?” The fat old man asked.
The Iron Crown Old Man did not answer. He came to the middle of the two old men and sat down. He received a cup of fragrant tea that had just been brewed and drank it in one gulp. He closed his eyes and savored it carefully before heaving a long sigh.
The Iron Crown Old Man opened his eyes and said slowly, “The most important thing for me to let him stay in the Sword World is to establish good karma with him.”
“Even if he leaves in the future, he won’t become enemies with the Sword World.”
“If the Sword World is in trouble in the future, perhaps this good karma will be a chance of survival for the Sword World.”
When they heard the last sentence, the two old men seemed to have thought of something and sighed deeply with rueful expressions..
