Chapter 2772: Congratulations
Creating the ninth Sword Peak was far more troublesome than Su Zimo had imagined. It was an extremely vast and complicated project.
The structure of the eight Sword Peaks had been pa.s.sed down for many years.
If one looked down from above, they could vaguely see that the continent where the eight Sword Peaks were located was a sword-shaped land.
Between the sword-shaped land, the eight Sword Peaks and Myriad Sword Palace, there were countless formation patterns that were difficult to see with the naked eye. They interweaved in the starry skies and formed a powerful sword formation.
Once it was fully activated, the entire Sword World would release an extremely terrifying killing power to defend against external enemies!
But now, there was a ninth Sword Peak to be established outside the eight Sword Peaks.
This meant that if they wanted to integrate the ninth Sword Peak into the sword formation, they would have to undo the original formation.
Many formation patterns had to be erased and rearranged.
The cultivators who set up this sword formation were at least Immortal King experts!
It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to open up a large piece of land out of thin air in the starry skies.
The Emperor experts of the Sword World had to take action and transport back dead stars and lifeless lands from other regions of the upper world.
Every single star brought back was not inferior to the Dragon Abyss Star.
However, the scale of the ninth continent of the Sword World had to be much bigger than the Dragon Abyss Star. At the very least, it had to be comparable to the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain!
Millions of stars were probably required to condense a land the size of the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain.
Gathering such a large number of stars together, the Emperor experts joined forces and shattered them, condensing and hammering them continuously.
In reality, the entire process involved the combined efforts of the Emperor experts to forge the ninth sword-shaped continent into a peerless immortal sword!
Gathering a million stars and condensing the essence of Heaven and Earth required more than ten Emperors to join forces—one could imagine how difficult it was!
The formation of the ninth sword-shaped continent alone took more than 400 years!
Thereafter, a mountain peak soared into the sky in the center of the continent. Su Zimo imprinted the inheritance and Sword Intent of the Sword Burial Dao on the Sword Peak and fused it with the entire continent.
Only then would the ninth Sword Peak truly take shape.
If any sword cultivator wanted to comprehend the Sword Burial Dao, they could come to this Sword Peak to do it themselves.
During this period of time, Su Zimo cultivated while watching the evolution of the ninth Sword Peak. For him, it was a rare opportunity to be able to watch the Emperors join forces to forge it.
Of course, the formation of the ninth Sword Peak was not over yet.
They had to set up sword formation patterns on the ninth Sword Peak before fusing it with the sword formation of the other eight Sword Peaks and Myriad Sword Palace before it was truly over.
Su Zimo had dabbled in array formations before as well.
However, he could not interfere in a sword formation of this level.
He knew that it would definitely take an extremely long time to set up formation patterns of this scale and level. It would take at least a few hundred years.
For the rest of the time, Su Zimo established his own cave abode on the ninth Sword Peak and officially entered it.
The ninth Sword Peak was officially named Sword Burial Peak as well!
Beiming Xue was the first to move her cave abode to Sword Burial Peak.
She was Su Zimo’s eldest disciple to begin with and it was understandable for her to become a disciple of Sword Burial Peak.
However, the Peak Master of Carnage Sword Peak, Lu Yun, could not accept it right away. He complained to Su Zimo many times but Beiming Xue was unmoved. In the end, he could only let it go.
Apart from Beiming Xue, the Peak Masters of the eight Sword Peaks sent over some ordinary disciples of the Black, Earth and Heaven Essence realms as well to prevent the ninth Sword Peak from appearing too deserted since it had just been established.
However, no legacy disciple was willing to come to Sword Burial Peak.
On the one hand, Su Zimo was only a Celestial Being Perfected Immortal.
More than half of the legacy disciples of the eight Sword Peaks were either of the same cultivation realm as him or of a higher cultivation realm!
It was impossible for those legacy disciples to become Su Zimo’s disciples.
The remaining Convergence Perfected Immortals had Immortal King experts as their masters. There was no reason for them to head over to Sword Burial Peak and become the disciple of a Celestial Being Perfected Immortal.
On the other hand, sword cultivators who could cultivate to the Perfected One realm had cultivated in the Sword World for many years and had deep feelings for their respective Sword Peaks and fellow disciples. Naturally, they would not change factions easily.
That way, although the ninth Sword Peak was successfully established and some ordinary disciples were forcefully stuffed over by the eight Peak Masters to show their support, it still looked cold and desolate.
There were only two Perfected Immortals in Sword Burial Peak—Su Zimo and Beiming Xue.
One was a Convergence Perfected Immortal and the other was a Celestial Being Perfected Immortal.
In the eyes of the other sword cultivators, it was way too shabby and even a little sad.
The two from Sword Burial Peak did not think much of it. Instead, they enjoyed it.
Both master and disciple cultivated wholeheartedly and felt that it was better if there were fewer people. After all, it was more peaceful.
The news of the opening of the ninth Sword Peak had spread long ago.
During this period of time, there would occasionally be cultivators from other worlds who came to offer their congratulations and even send some gifts.
Most of these people were from the lesser and middle worlds in the surroundings.
Lesser worlds such as Blue Cloud World, Immortal Medicine World, Treasure World and Seven Stars Sword World had no Emperor realm experts presiding over them.
The strongest people in those worlds were Immortal Kings.
Even so, one could tell the strength and influence of the Sword World!
If these lesser worlds wanted to survive in the upper world, they would either have to rely on super large worlds or be on good terms with the surrounding super large worlds or greater worlds.
Otherwise, if there was any conflict or unforeseen event, these lesser worlds might be destroyed!
After all, a top Immortal King expert alone might be able to destroy a lesser world!
In order to express their sincerity, most of these lesser worlds had Immortal Kings visiting with the congratulatory gifts personally.
When they saw that the Peak Master of the ninth Sword Peak was only a young Celestial Being Perfected Immortal, they were dumbfounded and shocked.
If not for the introduction of Lu Yun and the other Peak Masters and the fact that Su Zimo was sitting side by side with the other Peak Masters, these Immortal King experts would not have believed it.
After confirming Su Zimo’s ident.i.ty, even though they were all Immortal King experts, these people were still polite to him.
Although they were surprised, the Immortal Kings did not dare to show any contempt.
Su Zimo was only a Perfected Immortal but he was backed by the entire Sword World!
This was the deterrence the status of the Peak Master of the ninth Sword Peak had against others!
It was a strange feeling.
Although Su Zimo was only a Celestial Being Perfected Immortal, the visiting Immortal Kings had to be polite to him.
It was no wonder why Lu Yun said that the status as a Peak Master was a protection talisman for him.
At the very least, no one from the lesser and middle worlds would dare to attack him!
From a certain perspective, Su Zimo’s current status was even higher than the Sect Master of the Academy of the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain!
