Face Mr. Bai

“Alas, it’s hard to say. Just go and see for yourself. Earlier, Senior Brother Zhao, a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, was indignant and tried to teach this person a lesson, but was knocked to the ground with one sword strike.”

“I heard about it too. That guy looks like he’s only at the Qi Refining Realm. Do you think that’s possible? He must be a rogue who snuck into the Sect. I think he’s up to no good.”

“Hurry, or we’ll miss the competition!”

Amidst the commotion, Li Fan followed the crowd to a martial arts arena.

At the same time, he understood the information about this body in his mind.

Ji Zhaoxuan, Golden Core Stage cultivation, Inner Sect Disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

He was taciturn, disliked socializing, and was solely devoted to the Dao of the Sword.

“Senior Brother Chen, thank you for the match!”

A pleasant voice made Li Fan’s body tremble, and he instantly snapped back to attention.

Because Li Fan was too familiar with the owner of this voice—it was Mr. Bai!

Li Fan looked in the direction of the voice, only to find that the Cultivator speaking had an ordinary appearance, completely different from Mr. Bai.

However, the aura that he inadvertently exuded made Li Fan certain that he was Mr. Bai himself!

“He must have changed his appearance because his original look was too eye-catching.”

“But what time is it now? Why is he pretending to be an ordinary person and joining the Heavenly Sword Sect?”

Countless questions immediately arose in Li Fan’s mind.

With these questions, Li Fan continued to look at the arena.

He saw that the Golden Core cultivator named Chen, after being defeated by Mr. Bai, who appeared to be at the Qi Refining Realm, did not show extreme difficulty in accepting it.

Instead, he cupped his hands and said sincerely, “Thank you for your guidance, Senior.”

Then, with a hint of joy, he swept past the crowd and disappeared directly, going into seclusion to comprehend.

The observing Cultivators were in an uproar.

They all understood that this “Qi Refining” Cultivator was definitely not as simple as he appeared.

And at this moment, Li Fan finally discovered something.

His gaze was fixed on the Wooden Sword in Mr. Bai’s hand.

“This sword…”

Li Fan’s heart was instantly greatly shaken.

He quickly inquired among his Senior Brothers and Disciples beside him and only then learned that when Mr. Bai started the competition, he didn’t have a suitable weapon.

So he casually took a section from a nearby tree and fashioned this Wooden Sword.

Upon hearing this fact, Li Fan’s heart was once again filled with shock.

“There’s no mistake, this Wooden Sword is the one Shuo Feng will have in the future.”

“Celestial Oddity [Sword]!”

“How is this possible? Such a wondrous item was merely made by Mr. Bai on a whim?”

“What is his cultivation Realm, exactly?”

This discovery temporarily plunged Li Fan’s thoughts into chaos.

The Celestial Oddity [Sword] was the convergence of the Law of the Sword in the world.

Logically, it could only be nurtured by leveraging the wonders of heaven and earth.

But now, in Mr. Bai’s hand, it was casually created like a child’s toy.

So how profound was Mr. Bai’s comprehension of the Dao of the Sword, or even the principles of heaven and earth?

This truly exceeded Li Fan’s imagination.

Just as Li Fan was nearly in a daze, another Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator arrived, riding on sword light.

He unleashed a set of forty-nine parent-child swords, attacking Mr. Bai like a torrential rain of pear blossoms.

Mr. Bai raised his hand and lightly swung a sword.

The forty-nine parent-child swords instantly turned on each other, falling into disarray.

In but a moment, the Sword Cultivator was defeated.

“Did you notice? He’s stronger than when he fought Senior Brother Chen just now!”

“He must be hiding his cultivation and playing with us!”

“Now the Great Master will have to step forward. I wonder if he’s sobered up yet.”

Amidst the discussions of the crowd, memories related to the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Great Master instantly surfaced in Li Fan’s mind.

The Heavenly Sword Sect’s ten-thousand-year Great Disciple.

In reality, his seniority was even higher than the current Sect Leader’s.

However, he was naturally lazy, disliked managing affairs, and only loved drinking. So he used the clumsy excuse of “being the eternal Senior Brother to all junior Disciples” to continuously hold the title of “Great Master.”

His name was Situ Yao.

In the past, Great Master Situ Yao was known as the strongest fighter under heaven, attracting many battle-hungry Cultivators to challenge him.

Situ Yao, thoroughly annoyed, somehow acquired two large stones and placed them at the mountain gate.

He used his sword to carve the words “Idlers Stop” and “Challengers Cease Hostilities” on them respectively.

It is said that after carving the words, Situ Yao drank a pot of fine wine on the spot, laughing heartily and saying that it would be peaceful from then on.

Sure enough, from then on, most challengers couldn’t even break the restrictions of the two giant stones at the entrance.

Instantly realizing the huge power gap between them, they could only leave dejectedly.

“Hiss, it seems this Situ Yao is also an extraordinary individual.”

Years later, Li Fan, who had once seen these giant stones that had transformed into Heavenly Wonders, couldn’t help but think this.

“But clearly, compared to Mr. Bai, he still has a considerable gap.”

“One is merely a Human Wonder, while the other has reached the Realm of a Heaven’s Wonder…”

“It’s truly incredible.”

Situ Yao’s legendary status further shrouded Mr. Bai in a veil of mystery.

At this moment, with unfathomable strength, he accepted all challenges from the Heavenly Sword Sect Disciples.

He defeated them all with just one move.

The defeated Heavenly Sword Sect Cultivators were not only not annoyed but were instead overjoyed, seemingly gaining much from the “sparring.”

Understanding that this was a rare Opportunity, the Disciples eagerly stepped forward.

Li Fan’s heart stirred, and he finally seized the chance, rushing ahead of the other Disciples to stand before Mr. Bai.

Even though he could view the beings of the Xuanhuang World as nothing, in front of this utterly mysterious Mr. Bai, Li Fan’s heart still couldn’t help but feel a slight nervousness.

Because this time, entering the Fallen Immortal Realm was in possession mode, he couldn’t use his own Divine Ability.

Taking a deep breath, Li Fan recalled the Cultivation Technique cultivated by Ji Zhaoxuan, whom he was possessing.

It was an obscure method of condensing Qi into a sword.

However, one Law illuminates a hundred.

Using the Qi Sword as a basis, he could unleash part of the power of the Divine Ability, Shattering Heaven Heart Sword, that Li Fan had comprehended.

“Please enlighten me, Sir.”

Li Fan said in a deep voice.

The next moment, with a shift in his thoughts, several Sword Intents filled with black malevolent Qi suddenly appeared around Mr. Bai.

The Black Sword let out a long howl, seemingly intending to cut Mr. Bai into countless pieces.

“Not bad. The idea is good, but is your heart one with the sword?”

Just as the Black Sword was about to strike Mr. Bai, it suddenly paused, frozen in mid-air.

Time, for some reason, became still.

Li Fan faintly heard Mr. Bai’s pleasant words in his ear.

“If you treat the sword as a tool, the sword will treat you as a tool in return.”

Boom!

As if a bolt of lightning had pierced through the mist, countless inspirations flashed in Li Fan’s mind.

Innumerable possible derivations of the Shattering Heaven Heart Sword appeared before Li Fan simultaneously.

Making Li Fan feel dizzy and unsure of which to choose.
