Extra Chapter 192: Sword Dao Holy Land

Li He led Jian Wuhen and the other two to leave the Endless Sword Sect, heading all the way west toward the largest Sword Dao Holy Land in the Central Region—Tianjian Mountain.

Along the way, Jian Wuhen introduced the situation of Tianjian Mountain to Li He.

"Tianjian Mountain is the oldest Sword Dao Holy Land in the Central Region, and it is said to have been established millions of years ago. Countless Sword Dao Legacies are hidden on the mountain, and a large number of Sword Cultivators go there on pilgrimage every year."

"There is a Sword Dao Ancestor on Tianjian Mountain who has reportedly lived for over a million years, and his Sword Dao attainments are unfathomable. Rumor has it that he has already touched the threshold of the Immortal Dao, but has always suppressed his cultivation and is unwilling to undergo Ascension."

Hearing this, a trace of interest flashed in Li He's eyes.

"Oh? Then I must go and see it for myself."

Jian Wuhen continued, "However, Tianjian Mountain has a rule. If you want to go up the mountain for a pilgrimage, you must first pass the test of the sword formation at the foot of the mountain. The sword formation has a total of nine layers, and each layer has a different test. Only by passing the nine-layer sword formation can you see the Sword Dao Ancestor."

"Saint, with your strength, passing the nine-layer sword formation should not be a problem."

Li He nodded, but deep down he developed a strong interest in that Sword Dao Ancestor.

Several days later, the group finally arrived at the foot of Tianjian Mountain.

They saw a towering peak piercing straight into the clouds, shrouded in mist, with faint sounds of swords humming emanating from the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain stood a huge stone tablet engraved with four large characters: "Tianjian Holy Land."

Dozens of Sword Cultivators stood in front of the stone tablet, waiting in line to enter the sword formation.

Just as Li He walked up to the stone tablet, he heard a cold snort.

"Hmph, a few more ignorant juniors have come."

Li He turned his head to look and saw a burly man with a fierce and fleshy face looking at them with disdain.

"How dare someone in the Yukong Realm charge into Tianjian Mountain? Truly courting death."

The burly man looked Li He up and down, his eyes filled with contempt.

Jian Wuhen's expression sank and he was about to speak, but Li He stopped him.

"It's fine."

Li He glanced indifferently at the burly man, then walked straight toward the stone tablet.

Seeing this, the burly man sneered, "Kid, I advise you to go back. With your cultivation level, you can't even pass the first layer of the sword formation. Don't lose your life when the time comes."

Li He ignored him and simply placed his hand on the stone tablet.

In an instant, the stone tablet burst into brilliant light, and a streak of flowing light enveloped Li He, sucking him into the sword formation.

The burly man shook his head disdainfully, "Another one seeking death."

Jian Wuhen and the other two exchanged glances, then successively placed their hands on the stone tablet and followed him into the sword formation.

Inside the sword formation, Li He opened his eyes and found himself standing on a vast empty platform.

Surrounding the platform was the endless Void Realm, and countless long swords floated within the void, exuding a piercing Sword Intent.

"The first layer of the sword formation tests the perception of Sword Intent."

An aged voice sounded in the void.

"Within ten breaths, find the strongest Sword Intent from these thousands of Sword Intents. Failures will be expelled by the sword formation."

Hearing this, Li He smiled slightly.

He closed his eyes, and the Chaos Sword Intent within his body circulated slightly.

In an instant, the thousands of Sword Intents around him became exceptionally clear in his perception.

There were sharp ones, heavy ones, gentle ones, and fierce ones…

But all these Sword Intents, in front of the Chaos Sword Intent inside his body, were like fireflies competing with the bright moon for radiance.

"Found it."

Li He opened his eyes and pointed casually.

A long sword emitting a golden light flew out from the thousands of Sword Intents and obediently landed in front of him.

"The first layer is passed."

The aged voice sounded again, carrying a trace of surprise.

"Not bad, you are the fastest person to pass the first layer in a hundred years."

Li He didn't care and continued walking toward the second layer.

The second layer tests the mastery over Sword Intent.

Eighty-one stone pillars rose on the platform, and a sword was inserted into each stone pillar.

It requires using Sword Intent to simultaneously manipulate these eighty-one swords within ten breaths, making them form the character "Sword" in the air.

With a thought from Li He, the Chaos Sword Domain instantly unfolded.

The eighty-one long swords flew up instantly, spinning rapidly in the air, and in the blink of an eye, they formed a huge character "Sword".

"The second layer is passed."

The surprise in the aged voice grew stronger.

The third layer, the fourth layer, the fifth layer…

Li He was like a bamboo being split effortlessly, easily passing each layer in less than ten breaths.

When Li He stepped into the sixth layer, the surrounding sword formation suddenly changed.

A man in white appeared in the void, holding a long sword, and terrifying Sword Intent emanated from his body.

"The sixth layer tests a Sword Dao duel."

The aged voice said, "Your opponent is the Sword Intent Incarnation of Jianchen, the most Genius Sword Cultivator of Tianjian Mountain in a million years."

"Defeat him, and you can enter the seventh layer."

The man in white opened his eyes, his gaze like a sword, piercing straight at Li He.

"Yukong Realm? Interesting."

Jianchen chuckled lightly, his figure flashed, and he instantly appeared in front of Li He, thrusting out with a sword.

This sword strike reached the ultimate speed, as if it had crossed time and space.

Li He's eyes narrowed, and the Chaos Sword Domain was fully unfolded.

"Clang!"

A crisp collision sound rang out, and Jianchen's long sword was blocked by an invisible sword by Li He's side.

"Hmm?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Jianchen's eyes.

"What a bizarre Sword Dao."

He didn't pause and swung his sword to attack again.

This time, his sword was faster and fiercer, and every sword strike contained world-destroying power.

But Li He's Chaos Sword Domain was even more bizarre, as everything around turned into sharp swords, attacking Jianchen from all directions.

Although Jianchen's Sword Dao was profound, facing this unprecedented Sword Dao, he was somewhat flustered for a moment.

"Good! What a Chaos Sword Domain!"

Jianchen laughed loudly, and the Sword Intent on his body surged violently.

"Since that is the case, I shall let you witness my true Sword Dao!"

"Return of Myriad Swords!"

In an instant, the long sword in Jianchen's hand turned into thousands of sword shadows, enveloping Li He in an overwhelming manner.

Li He's eyes narrowed, pushing the Chaos Sword Domain to its absolute limit.

"Chaos Sword Domain, everything is a sword!"

In an instant, everything around turned into sharp swords, colliding with Jianchen's thousands of sword shadows.

"Rumble!"

With a loud bang, the entire sixth layer sword formation trembled.

As the dust and smoke dispersed, Li He stood steadily in place, while Jianchen's Sword Intent Incarnation had already dissipated.

"The sixth layer is passed."

The aged voice sounded, carrying a trace of shock.

"In a million years, you are the first person in the Yukong Realm to defeat Jianchen."

Li He took a deep breath and continued walking toward the seventh layer.

The seventh layer, the eighth layer…

When he stepped into the ninth layer, the entire Tianjian Mountain trembled.

An aged figure appeared before him, who was none other than the Sword Dao Ancestor of Tianjian Mountain.

"Young man, you have finally come."

The Sword Dao Ancestor looked at Li He, his eyes filled with a complicated expression.

"This old man has waited for this day for a million years."

Li He looked at him doubtfully, "Senior knows me?"

The Sword Dao Ancestor shook his head, "I don't know you, but I know the thing inside your body."

He pointed at Li He's Dantian and said, "The Chaos Sword Domain is a supreme treasure rarely seen in a million years."

"When this old man was young, I also had the opportunity to condense the Chaos Sword Domain, but unfortunately it fell short at the last moment."

"Now that I can see it on you, it can be considered fulfilling a long-cherished wish."

Li He respectfully bowed, "Senior flatters me."

The Sword Dao Ancestor waved his hand, "No need to be modest. With your talent, you will definitely forge your own Sword Dao in the future."

"These million years of Sword Dao insights from this old man shall be given to you."

Having said that, he extended his finger, and a dot of golden light merged into the center of Li He's brows.

In an instant, a massive amount of Sword Dao insights flooded into Li He's mind.

A million years of Sword Dao accumulation were all shared with him at this moment.

Li He closed his eyes and comprehended carefully.

I do not know how much time passed, but he slowly opened his eyes, and a sharp glint flashed through them.

"Thank you, Senior!"

The Sword Dao Ancestor smiled slightly, and his figure gradually dissipated.

"Go, walk your own path."

"This old man believes that one day, your sword will illuminate all the All Heavens and Myriad Realms."

Li He bowed deeply and turned to leave.

When he walked out of the sword formation, the outside was already crowded with people.

Seeing Li He, the burly man widened his eyes and shouted in disbelief, "Impossible! How could you possibly pass the nine-layer sword formation!"

Li He glanced at him indifferently, said nothing, and left directly.

Jian Wuhen and the other two followed closely behind, their faces full of reverence.
