“Wood Sword Immortal Song Yan Nian appeared 36,000 years ago. According to the historical records I have found, he first appeared on the south side of the Million Mountains, where he defeated the fourth-ranked expert on the Heavenly List, known as the ‘World’s Number One Sword’, Nanyangzi. It is worth noting that at that ti, he had not yet surpassed the Limit of Human and God and stepped into the Super-grade realm.”
“Afterwards, Wood Sword Immortal remained in the world until 23,000 years ago, when martial cultivators in their notes and various classics recorded his traces. As for his true age, it is unverifiable, but so magic experts speculate that he might have lived for hundreds of thousands of years, born during the Middle Ages.”
“Although this person had a wooden body, his swordsmanship was divine, and he was known as invincible in that era with all experts from the Human Clan, demon clan, and the Giant Spirit lineage suppressed by his sole power. Fortunately, Wood Sword Immortal did not claim affiliation with the demon clan, and due to his detached and quiet nature, the successive dynasties of our Human Clan were not affected for those 13,000 years, and indeed relied on his strength several tis to quell Divine Tribulations.”
“——His Sword Dao was extrely exquisite, and he was versed in multiple disciplines. Whether it was Five Elents and Eight Trigrams, Void Ti Order, life and death, Sword Control Technique, he had mastered them all, and could even simulate the Cultivation of the Human Clan within his body. But no one knew where he had learned his swordsmanship from.”
At this mont, Fang Zheng, the Great Elder of the Mountain Patrol Institute, had put down the classics in his hands.
“Brother Wang, I think I’ve almost understood the situation. Wood Sword Immortal suddenly disappeared without a trace 23,000 years ago. Today, in the belly of Fire Head Mountain within the Ti Secret Realm, his handwriting and hand-drawn True Intent charts appeared. The question is, even so, is it worthy of the Sect Master to take this matter so seriously and summon us all here? Of course, if the ‘Blood Vengeance Saint’ were in danger, that would naturally be another story.”
He looked up at Li Changsheng, “So, is there sothing unusually different about the text and drawings left by Wood Sword Immortal?”
“Indeed, there is.”
Li Changsheng flicked his sleeve, revealing to everyone twenty-four ancient and robust characters, along with nine drawings.
“He used golden script from the Middle Ages, which I actually do not recognize. However, they contain his Divine Intent, which made understand their aning as soon as I saw these characters. The last twenty words simply explain the essence of the swordsmanship and can be ignored, but the key is in the first four—”
Li Changsheng’s voice beca resolute, looking at the Great Elders in the hall.
“The aning of the four characters is ‘Learn my sword, assist ’!”
The crowd present couldn’t help but exchange glances upon hearing this, their eyes reflecting a solemn intention.
The Imperial Hall Master Yan Guilai pondered thoughtfully, “Wood Sword Immortal Song Yan Nian was once invincible in the world, ranked among the Super-grade. Such a person being forced to seek help in this way, it shows that his situation must have been extrely grave.
Speaking of which, the earliest appearance of the ‘Ti Secret Realm’ was indeed around 20,000 years ago, which coincides with the ti of Wood Sword Immortal’s disappearance. And there’s sothing questionable about the ‘Ti Secret Realm’ itself; the first layer of this Sixth Grade Secret Realm is so vast—it’s comparable to the size of several counties, spanning 3,500 miles from North to South and East to West. Such an area, even if placed among those ancient battlefields, would still be exaggerated. The key point is that the flow of ti within this massive Secret Realm is twelve tis that of the outside world.”
He looked at Sect Master Li Changsheng, “Now I have several doubts. Is Wood Sword Immortal Song Yan Nian still alive? Why did he enter the Ti Secret Realm, and what was his purpose? What is the Sect Master’s plan now? Are you thinking of rescuing this person?”
“Let answer the first two questions,”
The Scripture Pavilion Grand Elder Wang Baii spread his white brows, “Wood Sword Immortal Song Yan Nian is definitely still alive; the fact that his Divine Intent can survive in the text proves that his Primordial Spirit has not dissipated. However, what his physical condition is like now is sothing we do not know.
As for why he entered the Ti Secret Realm, it’s a matter from tens of thousands of years ago and cannot be investigated. However, from reading through the classics, I now have an unverifiable guess. So ancient unofficial histories record that when Wood Sword Immortal first erged in the mortal world, his mind was rather muddled and his wisdom was not high. At that ti, he aimlessly wandered the world, asking whoever he t, ‘Where are Yu Gong and Zhi Sou?'”
“Yu Gong? Zhi Sou?” The pupils of the Imperial Hall Master Yan Guilai suddenly widened slightly.
“That is why so people speculate that his life expectancy reached hundreds of thousands of years.”
Wang Baii explained with a smile, “This Wood Sword Immortal is very likely to be related to Yu Gong and Zhi Sou. So people even believe his swordsmanship is likely derived from Zhi Sou.”
The people present couldn’t help but be moved upon hearing this.
Formless Divine Sect rose to prominence 11,000 years ago and achieved the status of a First Grade Divine Sect in just a few thousand years.
However, their source can actually be traced back to the Middle Ages, so of which ca from Zhi Sou.
Wang Baii continued, “There are rumors that in the past, Yu Gong attempted to conquer the heavens. He failed despite being close to success, and ultimately, he and Zhi Sou were sealed together within the Ti River. The Ti Secret Realm appeared suddenly more than twenty thousand years ago. Before that, there were no records of the Ti Secret Realm, nor had anyone found traces of it. I’m wondering if there’s a possibility?”
His eyes were slightly focused, filled with speculation, “Could this ‘Ti Secret Realm’ have been forcibly pulled out from the Ti River by the Wood Sword Immortal? And was his purpose to help Yu Gong and Zhi Sou escape their predicant?”
The Disciplinary Institute Grand Elder, Lu Shouyang, shook his head slightly upon hearing this.
Yu Gong and Zhi Sou could not possibly be sealed within the Ti Secret Realm.
However, Wang Baii’s guess could also be correct.
If the Wood Sword Immortal did not pull the ‘Ti Secret Realm’ out of the Ti River, how could he be sure whether Yu Gong and Zhi Sou were sealed in this ancient battlefield?
“The possibility is great. When I entered the Ti Secret Realm before, I felt sothing was off. The twelvefold speed of ti inside is mostly due to the reactive force of the Heavenly Rules, compensating for the hundreds of thousands of years lost due to the sealing of the realm.”
The Imperial Hall Master, Yan Guilai, nodded, “Then, Sect Master, do you intend to rescue this Wood Sword Immortal? After rescuing him, what benefit would it bring to our sect? And how should we go about the rescue?”
“The benefits are imnse, and it could bring endless fortune to our Formless Divine Sect!”
The Mage Institute Grand Elder, Zhi Feizi, interjected at this mont, “I have also heard of the Wood Sword Immortal! In its early years, the First Grade Mage Sect ‘Taiwei Constellation’ showed him a mont of spiritual wisdom, aiding in the awakening of so of his intellect. In turn, he protected the Taiwei Constellation for over ten thousand years. With mages at its core, Taiwei Constellation managed to survive for more than ten thousand years and at the height of its power, even climbed to First Grade. It is a legend in the lineage of mages and the last glory of a mage.
Furthermore, for Yu Gong and Zhi Sou, this person dared to take extraordinary risks, forcibly dragging out the Ti Secret Realm, an ancient battlefield, from the Ti River. From this, we can tell his character is one who repays kindness with loyalty and is full of righteous blood. If our sect were able to provide him assistance, there would be endless benefits.”
Upon hearing this, the faces of those in the hall livened up, turning to look at Li Changsheng.
The thoughts of the crowd were similar. If there was a chance to befriend a Super-grade expert, why not do so?
At a junction where one disaster after another approached, this matter was enough to uplift hearts.
Even if the circumstances of the Wood Sword Immortal were dire to the extre and he was not imdiately reliable, they could still hope for the future.
With his unmatched swordsmanship, he would surely beco a powerful ally for the Formless Divine Sect in the future.
“You have misunderstood one thing.”
Li Changsheng’s chubby face was extrely serious, and he shook his head, “The issue now is not whether we want to rescue him, but that our Blood Vengeance Saint inheritance has been involved. Given the dangers associated with Super-grade, you can imagine how perilous it is. Moreover—”
He raised his head and looked at the nine figures above, “As for whether we can rescue him, it also depends on the Blood Vengeance Saint. It tests both his comprehension and his ability. We outside the realm can only strive to provide a bit of support, so this matter is not up to us to decide.”
Upon hearing this, the Mountain Patrol Institute Grand Elder Lu Shouyang’s eyebrows rose, “Where is Chu Xisheng now, and is he safe at Fire Head Mountain?”
“Him?”
Li Changsheng imdiately concentrated his eyesight, using the Source Stone of the ‘Ti Secret Realm’ in his hand to peer into the depths of the Secret Realm.
