The Great Li Dynasty: The Test of Succession!

Deep within the Sword Tomb, a stone gate that had been sealed for a hundred years suddenly burst open.

An elderly man dressed in gray linen clothes, with white hair and beard, slowly walked out.

His face was withered, as if he were about to die, but his eyes flashed with sword light as they opened and closed, like two small suns, so piercing that people dared not look directly at them.

Gu Taxian, a powerful cultivator in the mid-stage of the Void Refinement Realm!

He is also one of the three remaining Supreme Elders of the Great Luo Sword Sect.

He raised his withered palm and grabbed at the void.

The trembling Great Luo Heavenly Sword let out a joyful sword cry, transformed into a long rainbow, and fell into his hand.

"Old buddy, you sensed it too?"

Gu Taxian stroked the sword, a glint of greed and fanaticism flashing in his eyes: "The aura of Panhuang... that means the Panhuang Treasure Vault has appeared!"

"Our Great Luo Sword Sect cultivates the Way of the Sword, and this Panhuang inheritance should rightfully belong to our Great Luo Sword Sect!"

Whoosh!Whoosh!

Two streaks of light shot over, none other than the Seven Star Sword Master and the Mysterious Sword Master.

Upon seeing the old man, the two immediately knelt down in worship.

"Greetings, Supreme Elder!"

Gu Taxian didn't even look at them, but coldly said, "The Panhuang Treasure Vault has appeared in the direction of the Dali Dynasty. Gather the elites of your sects and come with me to seize the treasure."

"Whoever dares to lay a hand on the Panhuang inheritance will be killed without mercy!"

"yes!"

The Seven Star Sword Master and the Mysterious Sword Master exchanged a glance, both seeing the ecstasy in each other's eyes.

The Supreme Elder has emerged from seclusion!

Moreover, he emerged from seclusion wielding the Great Luo Heavenly Sword!

With this pillar of strength, who in the Eastern Wilderness can stop the might of the Great Luo Sword Sect?

Even Lu Yuan, a mid-stage Void Refinement expert wielding a top-grade spiritual treasure, had to bow down!

……

Qingyun Sect, Changsheng Peak.

"Xue Yao."

Lu Yuan transmitted his thoughts through divine sense.

A moment later, Lu Xueyao appeared in front of him.

After their conversation last night, Lu Xueyao's demeanor has changed drastically.

She was still dressed in that snow-white robe, carrying a long sword, as aloof and elegant as a fairy from the moon palace.

But within that cool and aloofness, there was also a subtle hint of allure and tenderness.

With every glance and movement of her eyes, she exudes a captivating charm, like a snow lotus blooming on an iceberg—both sacred and inviolable, yet inspiring endless imagination.

"My husband."

Lu Xueyao bowed gracefully, her voice soft.

"Come with me."

Looking at the beauty before him, Lu Yuan nodded slightly: "I will take you to obtain a fortuitous opportunity in the path of swordsmanship."

"Yes."

Lu Xueyao didn't ask any questions and walked naturally to Lu Yuan's side, taking his arm.

Lu Yuan put his arm around her slender waist, a thought flashing through his mind.

hum!

The Four Transformations Space Laws are activated.

The surrounding void rippled like water, and the two figures vanished from their spot in an instant.

So close yet worlds apart!

Lu Yuan is now a Void Refining expert, and his spatial laws have reached the fourth stage of transformation, making his travel speed more than ten times faster.

The Zhao Kingdom and the Dali Dynasty were separated by hundreds of thousands of miles, but under Lu Yuan's feet, they were only a few steps away.

……

The Great Li Dynasty, the vast and boundless mountains.

At this moment, deep within the mountains, an ancient bronze gate floats in mid-air, exuding the primordial aura of bygone eras.

The gate had been opened a crack, and the precious light shining through it dyed the sky for miles around with color.

Around the gate, a dozen or so cultivators with profound auras had already gathered.

Most of these people were old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage, including rogue cultivators and sect elders from nearby cultivation kingdoms.

They all stared intently at the door, yet they were wary of each other and dared not make any rash moves.

"Gentlemen, now that this treasure vault has been opened, let's each rely on our own abilities, shall we?"

An elderly man in the late Nascent Soul stage, dressed in a black robe, said in a sinister tone.

Just as everyone was preparing to rush forward.

boom!

A vast, boundless, and terrifying pressure suddenly descended from the sky.

This oppressive aura was far stronger than that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, carrying an air of superiority and indifference that looked down upon all living beings.

Pfft!Pfft!

Under this oppressive force, the dozen or so Nascent Soul stage monsters who had just been itching to make a move suddenly turned pale as if they had been hit on the head with a club, and fell straight down from mid-air, landing on the ground in a sorry state.

Those with weaker cultivation levels coughed up blood on the spot, their faces filled with horror.

"Refining...a Void Refinement Grandmaster?"

Everyone looked up in horror.

The void cracked open, and two figures, a man and a woman, slowly emerged.

The man, dressed in a blue robe, had his black hair flowing wildly and exuded an extraordinary air.

The woman, dressed in white, was stunningly beautiful and aloof, nestled beside the man.

It was Lu Yuan and Lu Xueyao.

Lu Yuan's indifferent gaze swept over the crowd below without him speaking, but the silent pressure made everyone afraid to even breathe.

"roll."

Lu Yuan's lips moved slightly, and he uttered a single word.

This single word resounded like a thunderclap.

Those dozen or so Nascent Soul stage monsters, who usually reigned supreme in their respective territories, were now as if they had been granted a pardon, scrambling and crawling in all directions as if they wished their parents had given them two fewer legs.

Are you kidding me?

Trying to steal an opportunity from a Void Refinement expert? You're asking for trouble, this isn't the way to die!

The area has been cleared.

Lu Yuan did not linger. He and Lu Xueyao transformed into a streak of light and rushed directly into the bronze gate.

……

About an incense stick's time later, Lu Yuan entered.

Another loud whooshing sound came from the horizon.

A massive sword-shaped ship broke through the clouds, bearing the banner of the Great Luo Sword Sect.

Gu Taxian stood at the bow of the ship, holding the Great Luo Heaven Sword, followed by the Seven Star Sword Master, the Mysterious Sword Master, and dozens of Nascent Soul sword cultivators.

"We're too late!"

Gu Taxian frowned slightly as he looked at the wide-open bronze door: "Someone beat me to it."

"Moreover... the residual aura is very strong, also indicating the Void Refinement Realm."

"Hmph, who cares who he is."

A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the Sword Master Xuanji: "In this Eastern Wilderness, no one has ever dared to snatch anything that my Great Luo Sword Sect has set its sights on, especially with the Supreme Elder here. We'll kill anyone who gets in our way!"

"Enter!"

With a wave of his sleeve, Gu Taxian transformed the sword boat into a streak of light, carrying everyone into the treasure vault.

……

Inside the Panhuang Treasure Vault lies a hidden world.

It is like a paradise on earth.

With his divine sense, Lu Yuan immediately detected the location of the Inheritance Hall!

Lu Yuan, leading Lu Xueyao, easily passed through the outer barriers and landed directly in the main hall.

The main hall is extremely spacious, with countless stone pillars with coiled dragons standing around it.

In the very center of the main hall stands a sword-themed stone tablet, hundreds of feet tall.

The stone tablet of swordsmanship is covered with intricate and profound sword marks, and also contains traces of time.

at this time.

Beneath the stone tablet sat a slightly disheveled figure.

It was Ye Chen.

At this moment, Ye Chen's face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was staring intently at the sword inscription in front of him. Veins bulged on his forehead, and sweat poured down his face.

He is facing the test of succession.

The rules of this test are simple: within a limited time, if you can comprehend a sword technique recorded on the stone tablet, you will gain recognition and have the opportunity to inherit the swordsmanship of Emperor Pan.
