"What is that?"

Daoist Puresun was dumbfounded. He stared blankly at the majestic palace that was slowly 'squeezing' through the passage, his mind completely blank.

This majestic palace gave Daoist Puresun a terrifying feeling. Even the master of the Nine Sword Holy Land was as weak as an ant in front of this majestic palace. In the entire Nine Sword World, perhaps only the Nine Sword Sacred Mountain at the center could compare to this palace.

However, the Nine Sword Sacred Mountain was left behind by a supreme powerhouse from fifty thousand years ago. It was precisely because the Nine Sword Holy Land occupied the Nine Sword Sacred Mountain that they were able to dominate the Nine Sword World. In Daoist Puresun's view, there shouldn't be anything in the world that could compare to the Nine Sword Sacred Mountain.

But now … Daoist Puresun felt that his view was collapsing.

In contrast to Daoist Puresun's shock, the other two disciples of the Nine Sword Holy Land were terrified.

As disciples of the Holy Land, their knowledge and experience far exceeded Daoist Puresun's. They were even more aware of what this majestic palace meant.

"A void passage?"

"This is a void passage?"

The disciple on the left had an extremely solemn expression.

The ancient books passed down in the Nine Sword Holy Land had records of void passages. These two disciples had never thought that they would be able to see something like this with their own eyes.

"Could this be a great treasure that came from outside the Nine Sword World?"

The disciple on the right suddenly thought of something and a trace of excitement appeared on his face.

Although the Nine Sword World was only a small world and wasn't as vast as the small worlds of immortal sects, it was still comparable to dozens of times the size of The Empire of Tang. Even the powerful Nine Sword Holy Land couldn't control all of it. Therefore, strange treasures would appear from time to time, such as the spirit herb that Daoist Puresun was guarding.

In the eyes of the two Saint Land's disciples, the Void Tunnel before their eyes and the majestic palace that was slowly 'squeezing' out of the Void Tunnel were precious treasures. Moreover, they were far more important than the so-called Spirit Medicine.

After all, while the spirit herb was precious, it was something that was born in the Nine Sword World. On the other hand, the majestic palace in front of them was suspected to be a great treasure from beyond the heavens. How could the two be compared?

"This is definitely the most precious treasure in the history of our Nine Sword World. It's comparable to the Sacred Mountain!"

Another Holy Land disciple calmed himself down and stared intently at the palace, his voice burning with passion.

Fifty thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Nine Sword Holy Ground had occupied the Nine Sword Sacred Mountain. That was how the Nine Sword Holy Ground came to dominate the world for the next fifty thousand years. Now, the majestic palace in front of him was not much weaker than the Nine Sword Sacred Mountain.

"If I can take control of this palace, I'll definitely be able to soar into the sky. I might even be able to break free from the shackles of the Holy Land and establish another Holy Land." The disciple on the right muttered to himself.

Although the Nine Sword Holy Land suppressed the Nine Sword World, the Nine Sword World was still a Minor World with limited resources. Even the disciples of the Nine Sword Holy Land had to fight for it.

Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have chased Daoist Puresun for such a long time over a single spirit herb.

One had to know that although spiritual herbs were precious, there were a large number of them growing in the Holy Land's herb garden. To the Holy Land, spiritual herbs were nothing.

However, for the disciples of the Holy Land, any stalk of Spiritual Medicine had the potential to increase their strength by another level, allowing them to be nurtured by the Holy Land.

But now, this extraterrestrial palace in front of them had given the two disciples a new hope. A hope that they could rise without relying on the Holy Land.

In a flash, the two disciples' thoughts spun rapidly.

They naturally knew that this extraterrestrial palace might contain great risks, but so what?

Fifty thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Nine Sword Holy Land had also gone through fierce battles and dozens of life-threatening situations before occupying the Nine Sword Sacred Mountain and establishing the Nine Sword Holy Land.

"The two of us will work together. If we encounter any danger that we can't resist, we'll immediately retreat and report this matter to the Holy Land," the disciple on the left said in a deep voice.

If things didn't work out, they would naturally choose to report it to the Holy Land. This way, the Holy Land would definitely reward them for discovering this extraterrestrial palace.

"Be quick."

"Otherwise, if we delay too long and the Elders of the Holy Land arrive, we won't have anything to do."

The disciple on the right nodded.

The spatial ripples caused by the appearance of the Void Passage had probably already spread throughout the Nine Sword World. After a while, the Nine Sword Holy Land would be alerted. By the time the Nine Sword Holy Land discovered that something was wrong and personally investigated, their contribution would be reduced by more than half.

Taking the initiative to report and the Holy Land knowing about it were two completely different matters.

After saying this, the two disciples cautiously flew toward the majestic palace that 'squeezed' into the Nine Sword World.

At this time …

Not far away, Daoist Puresun was left to the side.

Compared to the extraterrestrial palace in front of them, the spirit herb Daoist Puresun was guarding was nothing. The two disciples naturally couldn't be bothered with Daoist Puresun.

"Forget it."

"This matter is not something I can participate in."

"It's better to leave first. At least we'll be able to protect that spirit herb."

Daoist Puresun raised his head to look at the majestic palace and made a decision in his heart.

Although he vaguely realized the value of this palace, it was obvious that the two disciples had already arrived before him.

Daoist Puresun no longer had any greed. He only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the two disciples were free, it wouldn't be so easy to leave.

With this thought, Daoist Puresun finally glanced at the two disciples.

At this time, the two disciples were extremely close to the majestic palace and had even stepped on the steps of the palace, preparing to enter.

However …

At this time …

Daoist Puresun's eyes suddenly widened.

Under Daoist Puresun's shocked gaze, a slender and tall figure slowly walked out from the depths of the palace.

Dong dong dong!

Heavy footsteps sounded, as if they were stepping on Daoist Puresun's heartbeat.

"This …?!"

Daoist Puresun looked at the two disciples who had already stepped on the steps.

At this time, the two disciples' eyes were filled with fear. They seemed to have sensed something and wanted to escape, but in the next moment, their bodies began to collapse, and even their Yuan Spirits were rapidly dispersing.

"The Nine Sword Holy Land won't let you go!"

One of the disciples left these words before his entire body completely disappeared, as if he had never appeared in this world.

"This is the Nine Sword World?"

Su Qin ignored the two disciples and turned to look at the sky. "The Yuan Qi and Spiritual Vigor are so dense. What method did the Nine Sword Paragon use to maintain the Yuan Qi and Spiritual Vigor of this small world without dissipating for tens of thousands of years?"

Whether it was the Nine Sword World created by the Nine Sword Paragon or the Immortal Gate World created by several Paragon Masters, they weren't strictly considered worlds in a certain sense. They couldn't form an internal cycle and naturally produce Yuan Qi and Spiritual Vigor.

Take the world of immortals for example. After more than ten thousand years, the Vital Qi, spiritual vigor, and the imprints of the Great Dao had all dissipated to a certain extent. If the passageway was not opened again, it would naturally degrade in a few thousand years. By then, the existence of Earth Immortals would probably be extinct.

But the Nine Sword World was different.

Su Qin could clearly sense the Yuan Qi and Spiritual Vigor that permeated every inch of the space in the Nine Sword World.

Just as Su Qin was carefully sensing the Nine Sword World …

Not far away, Daoist Puresun felt his scalp tingle, especially when Su Qin walked out of the War God Temple. An inexplicable aura enveloped a radius of a hundred li, making it extremely difficult for Daoist Puresun to even move an inch, let alone run.

"It's over, it's over!"

"Something big has happened, something big has happened!"

Daoist Puresun was drenched in cold sweat, his heart trembling uneasily.

Even if he didn't know Su Qin's background, two disciples of the Nine Sword Holy Land had indeed fallen in Su Qin's hands.

If the Nine Sword Holy Land were to find out about this, it would be a great disaster!

One must know that the Nine Sword Holy Land had always been domineering. How could the Holy Land let the matter rest after learning that their disciples had fallen in the hands of others?

Two disciples of the Holy Land wanted to take away the elixir that Daoist Puresun had guarded for eighty years. The reason why Daoist Puresun would rather flee for hundreds of thousands of li than resist was because he didn't dare!

In the Nine Sword World, the words' Nine Sword Holy Land 'carried too much weight.

Even in the end, Daoist Puresun knew that he had no way out, which was why he had decided to take them down with him.

Of course, no matter how furious the Nine Sword Holy Land was, it had nothing to do with Daoist Puresun. After all, he didn't know Su Qin … But when immortals fought, mortals would suffer.

Even if Daoist Puresun wanted to escape unscathed, how could he avoid the Nine Sword Holy Land's revenge?

While Daoist Puresun stood there in a daze, Su Qin's gaze turned slightly to the pale-faced Daoist Puresun.

"Come here."

Su Qin beckoned to Daoist Puresun.

* Buzz!!! *

Daoist Puresun only felt his vision darken, and when he recovered, he was already in front of Su Qin.

"Junior … Junior Daoist Puresun greets Senior …" Daoist Puresun was shocked and immediately bowed deeply to Su Qin.

Daoist Puresun didn't know Su Qin's name, but in his mind, Su Qin was at least an elder of the Nine Sword Holy Land, a lofty existence that looked down on all living beings.

"Daoist Puresun?"

Su Qin glanced at Daoist Puresun.

With Su Qin's eyesight, he could naturally tell that Daoist Puresun was only a Sixth Heavenly Layer Legend. The two disciples who tried to approach the War God Temple were also at the same level.

"Who is the strongest expert in this world?" Su Qin asked bluntly after some thought.

Although Su Qin already knew through the Eye of Truth and the Celestial Seer Art that the strongest person in the Nine Sword World was only at the peak of the Origin Realm, that was all.

As for the specific situation of the Nine Sword World, which force ruled it, and whether there were any methods left behind by the strongest expert of the Nine Sword World, he didn't know.

After all, whether it was the Eye of Truth or the Celestial Seer Art, they could only see the myriad of auras in the world, unlike the Buddha's Heavenly Eye that could see the entire world.

Of course, this didn't mean that the Eye of Truth was inferior to the Heavenly Eye, but the focus of the two was different and couldn't be compared.

"The strongest expert?"

Daoist Puresun was slightly stunned and didn't react.

In the Nine Sword World, who didn't know that the Nine Sword Holy Land was the absolute ruler?

The strongest expert in the world could only come from the Nine Sword Holy Land.

However …

Then …

Daoist Puresun suddenly remembered that Su Qin had called the Nine Sword World 'this world' in his question just now.

Being able to say 'this world' meant that Su Qin was very likely not a living being of the Nine Sword World. Otherwise, why would he use such a transcendent tone to call it 'this world'?

At the thought of this, Daoist Puresun, who had just calmed down, was shaken again.

An existence outside the world … Although Daoist Puresun couldn't read the scriptures of the Holy Land like the disciples of the Holy Land, he knew what it meant.

According to legend, the Nine Sword Paragon, the creator of the Nine Sword World, came from outside the world …

"Hmm?"

Su Qin frowned slightly when Daoist Puresun didn't speak.

The reason he spared Daoist Puresun's life was because he wanted to find out more information about the Nine Sword World through him.

The Nine Sword World was a world created by the Nine Sword Paragon, who was ranked in the top three of all the Paragon that Su Qin had come into contact with. He was second only to the white-robed, white-haired Paragon of the Nascent Spirit lineage who had left behind the three thousand illusory islands and the first master of the War God Temple, Hou Yuan.

"Senior."

Daoist Puresun seemed to have sensed Su Qin's dissatisfaction and cold sweat appeared on his forehead as he immediately replied, "The strongest expert in the world right now should be the Nine Sword Holy Land's Lord."

"Nine Sword Holy Land?"

Su Qin repeated in a low voice, then asked, "The legacy left behind by the Nine Sword Paragon?"

Su Qin's expression turned solemn.

If the Nine Sword Paragon had truly left behind a legacy in the Nine Sword World, then Su Qin would have to be very careful.

Although Su Qin had confirmed with the Eye of Truth that the strongest being in the Nine Sword World was only at the Origin Returning Realm, this didn't include the Paragon's trump cards.

If the Nine Sword Paragon left behind many trump cards in the Nine Sword Holy Land in order to preserve his legacy, Su Qin might suffer a great loss.

Although tens of thousands of years had passed and even the power left by the Nine Swords Supremacy was almost gone, he was still a Supremacy in the Void-breaking Realm.

"The legacy left behind by the Nine Sword Paragon?"

Daoist Puresun hurriedly shook his head and said, "Senior, the Nine Sword Holy Land only occupied the sacred mountain where the Nine Sword Paragon had once secluded himself. It's not the legacy left behind by the Nine Sword Paragon."

Although the Nine Sword Holy Land had once wanted to completely cover up this matter and claimed to be the orthodox legacy of the Nine Sword Paragon, the truth was that even the Nine Sword Holy Land had never been able to reach the peak of the sacred mountain.

As such, no matter how the Nine Sword Holy Land tried to cover it up, it would only be a joke.

If the Nine Sword Holy Land was really the Nine Sword Paragon's legacy, how could they not even reach the peak of the sacred mountain?

"I see."

Su Qin nodded slightly.

Meanwhile.

Just as Su Qin was riding the War God Temple into the Nine Sword World.

At the center of the world, on a sacred mountain that was several thousand feet tall.

Somewhere near the peak of the mountain, in a majestic hall, a tall figure sitting cross-legged suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the trembling divine sword in front of him in shock.

"The divine sword has a spirit."

"This is the aura outside the Nine Sword World?"
