In some people’s hearts, there is full of doubt. In the eyes of ordinary cultivators, the Sword Saint represents the pinnacle of Sword Dao, especially the current Sword Saint, whose various legends have long been deeply ingrained in people’s minds.
However, as soon as the former’s voice fell, someone immediately shook their head and said, "I’ve heard the Sword Saint is about to fall. He hasn’t been at his peak for hundreds of years and has suffered severe injuries. A hero in twilight, where does the deterrent force remain?"
"Even so, doesn’t the Sword Saint have a successor? To become the Sword Saint’s successor, their Sword Dao talent must also be extraordinary. Isn’t the Sect Leader afraid that this successor will grow up and avenge his sister?"
"Avenge? You’re truly naive. No matter how extraordinary the talent, he’s just a naive youth. Can he threaten the Divine Maiden Sect? Can he threaten the Sect Leader?"
Someone couldn’t help but shake their head and sneer, eyes full of helplessness. This is a world where the weak are prey to the strong. It’s a rule so normal, seemingly ingrained in everyone’s heart—no one criticizes a Divine Sect Leader. Instead, some mock, as if the weak deserve a thousand deaths and no rebirth.
However, as people were chatting, suddenly.
BOOM——!!!
Amid the endless void, within the infinite snow and wind, a series of rumbling sounds suddenly erupted.
Cultivators from countless villages raised their heads to look, only to see within the hazy world, dozens of sweeping arks breaking through the air, mighty in momentum and imposing like a rainbow.
Upon closer inspection, the spacious arks were all pure white as snow, densely covered with countless white-clad graceful silhouettes.
"It’s the heavenly talents and proud daughters of the Divine Maiden Sect, the fairies returning from the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’."
"Has the war between the righteous and demonic in the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’ concluded? Have the peerless heavenly talents of the Divine Maiden Sect returned?"
Many icefield cultivators, looking at the world-shocking, endless arks, were all immensely excited. Though they lived under the Divine Sect’s protection on the vast icefield boundary, these rustic mountain villagers found it incredibly difficult to see the fairies from the Divine Maiden Sect.
And as the dozens of immense arks passed over the village, for some unknown reason, they all halted their progression.
From one great ark, a graceful silhouette slowly descended, breaking through the air.
"Yun’Er?"
The scattered cultivators who were chatting earlier were overjoyed to see this silhouette. This woman was none other than Yun’Er, the peerless heavenly talent from the village who had joined the Divine Maiden Sect, one of the confidants of the Divine Maiden Sect Leader.
Astonishingly, after leaving the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’, not all Divine Maiden Sect cultivators headed for the Divine Sword Sect territory; most chose to return to the sect early.
The female cultivator named Yun’Er, upon hearing the calls from below, beamed with joy and flew toward several village loose cultivators.
"Uncle Lin, Uncle Zhang, Uncle Hu, Uncles, it’s been a long while, how have you been?"
The female cultivator named Yun’Er gently landed among them, exuding the demeanor of a powerful figure with every move. Especially after everyone felt the terrifying aura she unintentionally released, they were all startled.
"Yun’Er, what realm are you in now? Uncles are somewhat uneasy," said Uncle Hu, a robust man, looking at the terrifying aura of this peerless female talent.
The girl named Yun’Er simply smiled and said, "Uncle Hu, what is this? I’m only at the Seventh Layer of the True Self Realm."
"Hiss——!!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked, their expressions changed, and they inhaled sharply: "Seventh Layer of the True Self Realm? My goodness."
In such villages, a True Self Realm expert is a terrifying existence that might not be encountered in a lifetime. Now, hearing that the peerless female talent from the village has reached the True Self Realm at a young age, everyone was astounded, their faces full of excitement.
Someone immediately connected the scene with the previous topic and said subconsciously, "Huzi, see? This is the strength of the Divine Maiden Sect. Yun’Er has already become a Seventh Layer True Self Realm expert at a young age. You said the Sect Leader would be wary of that insignificant Sword Saint successor? It’s truly laughable."
After this person finished speaking, everyone quickly agreed, repeatedly affirming. Even Uncle Hu seemed somewhat ashamed, as the Divine Maiden Sect on this icefield is like a divine existence, unshakeable throughout history.
Mentioning the Sword Saint successor, someone immediately, full of joy, subconsciously compared and asked, "Yun’Er, by the way, did you meet Ye Xiaofan, the Sword Saint successor, in that ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’?"
"Of course, I met him. Why such a question, Uncle Lin?" Asked Yun’Er, the female cultivator, with a face of confusion. When mentioning the Sword Saint successor, a subtle change appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Yet, people didn’t catch that slight change in the girl’s eyes and couldn’t help but ask, "Yun’Er, who is stronger between you and the Sword Saint successor?"
Evidently, no matter the place, people enjoy comparing. At this moment, the Divine Maiden Sect girl is already seen as a terrifying existence in everyone’s mind—a Seventh Layer True Self Realm. What an extraordinary talent. In the village, such a True Self Realm expert might not emerge in hundreds of years, and Yun’Er stepped into this realm at a young age. People were very curious about who was stronger between the two.
Upon hearing this, the female cultivator named Yun’Er felt an internal bitter smile. As the saying goes, without comparison, there’s no harm. The Sword Saint successor’s feats in the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’ are unprecedented, each event unparalleled; not to mention his current cultivation, that’s a Self-Slaying Realm expert in the Realm of Ten Slashes.
