Chapter 440 The Origin of Sword Venerable Fudao
"It seems I have won."
An Hao's voice resonated between heaven and earth, silencing all the noise, allowing sects from all directions to feel his pride.
A Nirvana victor over a Loose Immortal, such a record was a marvel and shock throughout ancient and modern times!
Looking at the peerless An Hao, Wu Jue felt that he still shouldn't test him; if An Hao learned that Gu An was impersonating his master, Gu An would probably be in big trouble.
"Such a domineering Divine Flame, the Flame Primordial Treasure Body is truly powerful."
"How do I feel that he is even stronger than the Treasure Body?"
"Our Vast Energy Daoist Sect also has geniuses with Treasure Bodies, but none as dominant as him."
"His Divine Skills just now were no small matter, he could actually mobilize the Heaven and Earth Rules, which is also why he was able to defeat the Loose Immortal."
"No wonder the Immortal Dynasty could recruit him, such talent truly surpasses the Immortal Spirit."
Cultivators from all sects talked amongst themselves, but An Hao did not pay attention; he raised his right hand, threw an Elixir, and it plummeted into the rolling dust below.
Immediately after, he turned and flew in a certain direction.
Great Cultivators, led by the Supreme Sect, immediately ordered a pursuit of An Hao.
Wu Jue, having no time to ponder, hurriedly caught up with the group.
Half an hour later.
In the mountains and fields, An Hao and the high-ranking members of the Supreme Sect stood beside a stream, talking and laughing heartily, while Wu Jue stood not far away, envying the scene before him.
Without An Hao, he would be the one everyone looked up to, the future of the Supreme Sect, but with An Hao present, he was no different from the other ordinary disciples; no one paid him any attention anymore.
Vice Sect Leader Ji Hantian looked at An Hao and said with a smile, "We are most comforted by your achievement today, you carry the hope for the rise of the Supreme Sect. Even when you're away, the disciples in the sect will inquire about your whereabouts, you have become the hope that the juniors chase."
Hearing this, An Hao smiled even more, and faced with such words, he chose to be humble. He had quite a fondness for the Supreme Sect, as in the early stage of his Immortal Cultivation life, the Supreme Sect had given him considerable help.
Most importantly, his master and junior sister were in the Supreme Sect, and just by that fact alone, it was impossible for him to leave the Supreme Sect.
Just as they were exchanging pleasantries, an immense Sword Intent descended, making everyone feel as if their throats were being choked, cutting off all speech.
An Hao looked up, his eyebrows furrowed, a wariness apparent in his eyes.
A whooshing sound descended from the sky.
Clang—A sword fell from the sky, landing in front of An Hao; stones shattered and flew off, and the cultivators from the Supreme Sect retreated in shock, while An Hao remained as steady as Mount Tai, unmoved.
The sword that was planted in the ground trembled non-stop, the blade vibrating to form afterimages.
Before the cultivators of the Supreme Sect could speak, a figure descended from the sky, landing precisely on the hilt of the sword.
It was Jue Luo Sword Monarch!
An Hao looked up at Jue Luo Sword Monarch before him, his eyes filled with confusion, but no fear.
Jue Luo Sword Monarch ignored everyone else, his gaze fixed on An Hao, burning with intensity as if he were looking at a rare treasure.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
The highest Cultivation Level Elder of the Supreme Sect asked in a deep voice, clutching the Dharma Treasure in his hand, clearly very nervous.
Just one glance at Jue Luo Sword Monarch was enough for everyone present to realize that they were no match for him.
"Boy, what's your name?"
Jue Luo Sword Monarch stared at An Hao and coldly asked, the breeze blowing his robe as he stood on the hilt, emanating an overwhelming pressure.
An Hao responded, "An Hao, do you have a matter to attend to, Daoist Friend?"
Jue Luo Sword Monarch's mouth curved upwards, "I am Jue Luo Sword Monarch. Your Life Grid is quite decent; no matter which part of the Great Heaven and Earth you are in, you will rise. Serve me, and I can help you grow faster and raise your limits."
Upon hearing this, An Hao wasn't surprised; on his journey, too many people had already said such things to him.
An Hao remained composed, "Thank you for your kindness, Daoist Friend. I have a master, a sect, and a power I serve; I cannot pledge allegiance to you."
Jue Luo Sword Monarch narrowed his eyes, "Do you know how high my Cultivation Level is?"
An Hao shook his head slightly while the others were extremely nervous, sensing that the situation was far from over.
Jue Luo Sword Monarch raised his right hand, and Sword Qi surged from his palm; even though it was just a thread, the implied Sword Intent left everyone feeling cold.
"I am a Free Immortal, which is what you call the Ninth Level of the Immortal Path. The strongest of your Great Heaven and Earth, the Shengtian, is also a Free Immortal, just stepping into the Reincarnation Tribulation, while I have reached the end of the Reincarnation Tribulation, just one step away from breaking through to a higher realm. At that time, with just a thought, I could obliterate the entire Great Heavenly Spirit Land."
While declaring this, Jue Luo Sword Monarch wore a defiant smile; he seemed eager to see An Hao's reaction upon knowing his power.
An Hao's expression indeed changed unnaturally.
He knew of the Free Immortal, that was the realm of the Yang Xian Emperor, but from Jue Luo Sword Monarch's words, the Yang Xian Emperor had only entered the threshold of the Free Immortal Realm, whereas Jue Luo Sword Monarch had reached the pinnacle of the Free Immortal Realm.
The cultivators from Supreme Sect were all showing expressions of disbelief.
How could they have come across a being more powerful than Shengtian?
Jue Luo Sword Monarch's arrogance was overflowing, making people feel that he wasn't spouting empty words.
"What about it, will you take back what you said just now?" Jue Luo Sword Monarch stared at An Hao with a mocking smile.
An Hao replied, "Senior is indeed formidable, but if I were to serve you just because you are stronger, and then tomorrow I meet someone stronger than you, wouldn't I have to betray you too?"
Addressing the other as "Senior" was already the limit of respect An Hao was willing to give.
He was indeed shocked by Jue Luo Sword Monarch's cultivation level, but did not believe that Jue Luo Sword Monarch was the strongest in the world.
The strongest person could only be his teacher!
Jue Luo Sword Monarch, upon hearing An Hao's refusal, showed a displeased look, but he also felt that what An Hao said was reasonable, and his appreciation for An Hao grew stronger.
"Who is your teacher? If I ask him to give you to me, will you no longer refuse?" Jue Luo Sword Monarch asked. Stay tuned to empire
At these words, the expressions of the cultivators from Supreme Sect became strange.
Although they were shocked by Jue Luo Sword Monarch's power, they also believed in their hearts that Sword Venerable Fudao was the strongest.
Otherwise, how could the Immortal Dynasty lay aside their hatred, and why would the Holy Court come forward with flattery to win over Sword Venerable Fudao?
An Hao frowned. He did not believe that Jue Luo Sword Monarch could threaten his teacher, but he feared causing trouble for his master.
"If you don't tell me, I can calculate it myself." Jue Luo Sword Monarch huffed and then started to calculate by using his fingers.
He can calculate it?
An Hao's expression clearly changed, and the cultivators of Supreme Sect were also frightened by such means.
Wu Jue had been silent, but hearing this, he suddenly grew worried for Gu An.
If that kid impersonates Sword Venerable Fudao, could he be found out by Jue Luo Sword Monarch and bring trouble upon himself?
Thinking this, Wu Jue grew anxious.
All was silent in the Great Heaven and Earth.
Everyone was watching Jue Luo Sword Monarch's calculation.
However, after more than a dozen breaths of time had passed, Jue Luo Sword Monarch's brows furrowed.
"Strange..."
Jue Luo Sword Monarch was surprised in his heart but did not dare to show weakness.
He could not calculate An Hao's teacher. He did manage to calculate Lv Baitian and An Hao's teachers from the Star Sea Congregations and Immortal Dynasty, but these people's cultivation levels were too low, and the karmic ties of teacher and student with An Hao were not strong, indicating that An Hao didn't acknowledge them in his heart.
He could feel there was a mysterious existence behind An Hao, but no matter what, he could not figure it out.
What's going on?
Jue Luo Sword Monarch was filled with vigilance.
Was there still an existence in the Great Heavenly Spirit Land that he couldn't calculate?
Even for Shengtian who had entered the Reincarnation Tribulation, he could still calculate some traces left by Shengtian before his death.
Jue Luo Sword Monarch's gaze flickered, looking at An Hao with a somewhat odd look.
Could it be that An Hao's teacher was the Inheritor of the Holy Heart Sword Dao, or a reincarnation of the Sword Dao Saint Ancestor?
The more Jue Luo Sword Monarch thought about it, the more possible he felt it was. He had come to the Great Heavenly Spirit Land for some time now, but could not find anyone or anything related to the Holy Heart Sword Dao.
He even doubted whether the Holy Heart Sword Dao had appeared in the Great Heavenly Spirit Land at all.
With thoughts as swift as lightning, Jue Luo Sword Monarch put on a smile and said, "An Hao, how about you take me to see your teacher? We can put aside your matters, I won't insist on them any longer."
An Hao asked in confusion, "Why do you want to see my teacher?"
Jue Luo Sword Monarch smiled and said, "To be honest, I come from another world, and I am here to find your teacher. Your teacher is the existence our Daoist Tradition has been searching for. As long as we find him, we will acknowledge him as our leader."
Another world!
Everyone was shocked; so Sword Venerable Fudao had such an origin?
Upon further thought, they realized Sword Venerable Fudao's mysteriousness and unfathomable strength seemed to indicate that he could only come from another world; any other origin would seem illogical.
After hearing this, An Hao furrowed his brows tighter, falling into hesitation.
Jue Luo Sword Monarch's face turned solemn, while his heart stirred with excitement.
Holy Heart Sword Dao!
Finally, I have found you. Do not let me down; my Sword Dao will certainly be stronger than yours!
