The commotion gradually dissipated.
However, the loud sound waves would definitely attract the attention of others.
Long Chen did not say anything else. First, he and Lingxiao moved to a place where there was no one around. At this moment, Lingxiao could not contain his shock as he stared at Long Chen in a daze.
"I would need to slash at a star of that level for a month to shatter it," Lingxiao said in a shocked tone.
The gap between him and Long Chen had reached such an extent.
He remembered that back in Nine-Star Chaos City, their strength was about the same. Many people thought that Long Chen was strong enough because he could shake Lingxiao away.
But today...
Lingxiao needed to slash at a star for a month, but Long Chen had turned hundreds of stars of the same level into dust in an instant.
This was the difference between Heaven and Earth.
"With your strength, defeating my father, Ling Song, would not be a problem at all. Life is full of ups and downs. Your progress has already surpassed the limits of ordinary people. You are a genius, a genius who works hard. I cannot deny this." Lingxiao's eyes were unable to calm down for a long time.
He knew that Long Chen was strong, but he did not know that he had reached such a level.
The power and precision of that sword strike was not something even a third-stage Nirvana Tribulation martialist could achieve.
Every third-stage Nirvana Tribulation martialist had lived for tens of thousands of years and cultivated for tens of thousands of years.
This was also Long Chen's first success.
Wordless Art, Time Reversal, Martial Path Great Completion. He had completed the first stage and was quite confident about the battle on August 15th, but it was far from enough.
"Why did you come to me?" Long Chen asked.
Lingxiao had already informed Little Xi. Could it be that Little Xi had something to say to him?
Long Chen was looking forward to it.
At this moment, Lingxi was the only reason for him to work hard.
No matter how many girls he had met, no matter how many things he had experienced, Lingxi had always been the one and only true love in his heart. She was the only woman who could penetrate his heart and make him unable to forget her for countless days and nights.
Lingxiao finally remembered the matter at hand and said helplessly, "I told Little Xi about your arrival."
"And then?" Long Chen asked.
Lingxiao shrugged his shoulders and said, "She's crying, but she's crying because she's happy. From the looks of it, she seems to be very blissful. During this half a year of house arrest, I've never seen her so happy. This has strengthened my resolve to help you all. Only you can give her happiness."
Long Chen closed his eyes.
He could imagine the look on Ling Xi's face when she heard the news about him. That silly girl, this time, he had given her a huge surprise and a pillar of support.
"She wanted to see me. I could not dissuade her, so I agreed," Lingxiao said suddenly.
"What?" Long Chen was caught off guard.
In fact, he also knew that if he rashly snuck into Sword God's Palace and was exposed, then it would be very troublesome. He didn't want Lingxiao to take such a risk for him. After all, if he was exposed, then as the person who had led Long Chen in, while Long Chen might be fine, it was very likely that Lingxiao would be executed.
Therefore, he did not dare to force it.
But Lingxiao had come looking for him himself.
Of course, only Lingxi's request would be able to move him.
Long Chen calmed down and shook his head. "This is too dangerous for you. Forget it, it won't matter." Lingxiao was impressed by his calmness. He trusted Long Chen even more.
Furthermore, the Sword God Palace is unable to use their divine sense, so the possibility of being discovered is actually very small. Furthermore, I've already said that I believe that you can give her happiness. I'm her uncle and I've watched her grow up. I love her dearly, so I want to contribute a little to change her fate. I hope that you won't disappoint me. "Lingxiao was very impressed by Lingxiao's ability to remain calm in such a situation. He trusted Long Chen even more. He said sincerely," Don't worry, I've already made the necessary arrangements. Moreover, the Lingwu Sword Master only placed Little Xi under house arrest and did not really care about her.
Long Chen respected him from the bottom of his heart.
As a member of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace, he had gone against the Sword Spirit Emperor and the Four Great Swordmasters. This required extraordinary courage.
"Thank you."
"Let's enter the God's Nation." Lingxiao was ready to set off.
Long Chen made some preparations and entered Lingxiao's God's Nation excitedly.
In fact, he also longed to see Lingxi. This desire was no less than Lingxi's, but he was more rational.
Now that he had this opportunity, the excitement in his heart was no less than Lingxi's.
In the past ten years, besides the half a year of life and death together and the trip to the Chaotic God's Nation, they had never had the chance to meet again.
In his mind, the little girl had matured and become more and more adorable. She was so fresh and delicious, but he did not have much time to enjoy her.
There had been so many twists and turns along the way. He had hoped that she would follow him again, and that no one would be able to control his life and love.
She had also put in a lot of effort, including escaping from the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace and using the fake Lingxi to replace him.
Long Chen felt that it was all worth it for this girl who had gone through thick and thin with him.
Lingxiao shot up into the sky, from the bottom of the Sky Piercing Sword Soul Mountain to the top.
The higher he went, the steeper it got, and the closer he got to the starry sky.
Where the Sky Piercing Sword Soul Mountain pierced through the starry sky, there was a sea of trillions of swords, and the Sword God's Palace floated in the middle of it.
After reaching the peak of the Sky Piercing Sword Soul Mountain, Long Chen finally saw the sea of trillions of swords above the Shattered Star River.
This place was above the clouds, and it was like an immortal realm. It looked like a boundless ocean, and the Sword God's Palace was like a heavenly palace in this immortal realm ocean. It was dignified, domineering, and possessed boundless divine might.
Amidst the sea of millions and millions of swords, there were countless sword embryos. They revolved around the Sword God Palace and shot forward rapidly. Long Chen could see so many sharp swords. Among them were ordinary swords, and there were even Dao artifacts.
Among the trillions of swords, there were tens of thousands of swords flying around the Sword God's Palace, densely packed. Above the clouds, sword qi surged violently, wanting to pierce through the heavens and shatter the universe.
"It's rumored that the Myriad Sword Ocean is a sword formation personally laid down by our ancestor. If we encounter an invasion, the Myriad Sword Ocean will be activated, and the Sword God Palace will become the strongest fortress in the world. No intruder will be able to take half a step closer to the Sword God Palace, or else they'll die. The Myriad Sword Ocean Grand Formation is something that our Sword Spirit Emperor Palace fears."
Lingxiao said proudly.
Long Chen nodded.
"If the City Lord of the Tragic City mobilizes his ghostly army, I wonder if the Trillions of Swords Formation will be able to withstand it. Furthermore, the City Lord of the Tragic City is attacking the most ordinary commoners in the Sword Spirit Emperor District. The Trillions of Swords Formation won't be able to protect them."
As Long Chen lamented, Lingxiao followed a fixed path through the trillions of swords.
"There is a path in the Trillions of Swords Formation. If you take the wrong path, you will be pierced by thousands of swords. These are the guards of the Sword God's Palace. Throughout history, not many people have been able to sneak into the Sword God's Palace."
Lingxiao explained to Long Chen as he carefully advanced.
"Furthermore, the path of the Trillions of Swords Formation changes frequently. Even if outsiders remember it, it's useless. Only the core members of the Sword God's Palace know."
The security of the Sword God's Palace was much stricter than that of the Martial God's Palace.
The Sword Spirit Emperor Palace's security was much stronger than the True Martial Emperor Palace's.
Compared to the True Martial Emperor Palace, the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace had risen to prominence much earlier.
The closer he got to Lingxi, the more excited Long Chen became.
Soon, Lingxiao skillfully passed through the Trillions of Swords Formation.
In front of him was a palace that resembled a heavenly palace: the Sword God's Palace.
The centermost building of the Sword God's Palace was the Divine Sword Pagoda. The Divine Sword Pagoda was shaped like a sword piercing through the clouds. It looked similar to the Sky Piercing Sword Soul Mountain, but the Sky Piercing Sword Soul Mountain was dead, while the Divine Sword Pagoda was alive. The terrifying sword intent that soared into the sky and the sword qi that swept through the surroundings deterred anyone from approaching.
Lingxiao walked as usual. Not many people noticed him. At most, a few familiar faces greeted him. It was a daunting experience, but not a dangerous one.
After arriving at the Sword God's Palace, Lingxiao did not speak to Long Chen anymore.
He headed towards the Lingwu Sword Sect's territory, the Lingwu Region's Sky Spirit Pavilion.
The Sword God's Palace was shrouded in mist and immortal Qi. It was as beautiful as a dream, much more beautiful than the True Martial Emperor Palace's Five Elements Clear Sky Pagoda.
Lingxi had spent her childhood here.
However, this was a place where she was imprisoned, a place where she was stored.
Long Chen also hated this place.
Many years ago, there must have been an old woman in the direction of the Sword God's Pagoda. She had racked her brains to find a way to be reborn and soar. That was why Lingxi felt so pressured today.
"We're here."
Lingxiao often went to the Sky Spirit Pavilion to look for Lingxi. There were two late-stage Nirvana Tribulation cultivators guarding Lingxi. They were very familiar with Lingxiao. After greeting the two elders respectfully, Lingxi entered the Sky Spirit Pavilion.
After Lingxiao left, one of the elders said doubtfully, "Ever since Lingxiao returned from delivering the invitation to the True Martial Emperor Palace, he seems to be coming here frequently."
"Is that so?" The other elder was also very doubtful.
"Xi'er has liked to play with him since she was young. It's normal that the two of them have a deep relationship. As for Wang Chen, Xi'er liked him very much in the beginning. Now, she doesn't even want to see him. The last time Wang Chen came, she was the one who chased him away."
"That's right. If this goes on, how are they going to get married?"
"This is a matter for the higher-ups. We just need to take care of Xi'er. Let them worry about the rest. By the way, Long Chen from the True Martial Emperor Palace has already become the Sacred Martial Emperor. You know about this, right?"
"Of course I know. This matter has caused a huge commotion in the Sword God's Palace. Everyone is very shocked, but so what? Without fate, feelings are unreliable. Parents' orders are the right thing to do."
Fortunately, they didn't pursue the matter of Lingxiao's visit. Instead, they talked about Long Chen's matter.
