Chapter 378

It was because of this that Xie Tianheng was so arrogant, with no regard for the people of this world.

After all, he had carved a path in the Sword Dao unlike any seen before!

It was only after their journey to Canglan Island that they realized their insignificance.

He had not even stepped foot onto the path of the Sword Dao!

Xie Tianheng pulled out a pink jade bracelet, gazing at it silently as memories flashed through his eyes. Taking a deep breath, he muttered, “I, Xie Tianheng, bow to no one in this life. If 1 said I would come to find you, then I will!”

He put away the bracelet, turned to look at where Xie Lingfeng was, eyes filled with affection.

Although his son was not as accomplished as him, he was still a top-tier prodigy in the Sword Dao.

“A clear understanding of the sword’s heart, Sword Intent, 1 must comprehend it!”

Xie Tianheng’s gaze was firm. If his son figured it out and he did not, wouldn’t he be embarrassed?

Li Xuan roamed the Inner Domain, admiring the local customs and experiencing the scenes of strife in the martial world. He was on the lookout for suitable candidates to become his disciple.

At the same time, he was developing his own mysterious system of martial arts.

“I’ll pay a visit to Sword Master Cliff.”

He thought of Xie Tianheng, and wondered if he had been defeated.

It could not be denied that Xie Tianheng’s talent was truly formidable, having managed to grasp Sword Force.

Starting with Sword Force as a base to step into the Sword Dao and understand Sword Intent perfectly completes the entire practice of Sword Dao.

From practising swordplay, Sword Force, understanding the heart of the sword, to comprehending Sword Intent…

All of it had been perfected.

“1’11 give Xie Tianheng a few pointers. Consider it as a reward for his contribution in completing the entire training system of Sword Dao.”

Li Xuan realized that the Sword Dao system he initially created was overly mysterious, with a high starting point. It lacked a solid foundation and a complete system.

Even though Xu Yan had achieved enlightenment, the barriers to entry for the Sword Dao were still high.

Xie Lingfeng’s talents were certainly not lacking, but he was still unable to understand Sword Intent after such a long time.

After all, Xu Yan was not your average genius.

With Xie Tianheng’s Sword Force, he could fill in the gaps of the Sword Dao system, greatly lowering the entry barrier to the Sword Dao.

Talents like Xie Lingfeng or those slightly inferior could now smoothly train and step onto the path of the Sword Dao.

Even though it still required talent, at least the entry barrier had been lowered. Moreover, even if one couldn’t grasp Sword Intent, having Sword Force was enough to be a formidable fighter.

This would enhance the overall strength of Sword Dao practitioners.

“Where is Sword Master Cliff?”

Li Xuan pondered for a moment, deciding to ask someone.

Following the path Jiao Ming had taken, Ping’er carried on, occasionally meeting seclusion Sects, whom she would ask enquiries, ruthlessly massacring any who showed disrespect.

Indeed, she was merciless and without any pity, slaughtering them as if they were pigs or dogs.

“Jiao Ming, that bastard!”

Ping’er was filled with rage.

“Who and where is the person my mistress wants me to capture?”

Ping’er furrowed her brows.

Initially, when the orders were sent out for her to capture someone in the Inner Domain, she thought it would be easy to find Jiao Ming. It seemed like a simple task.

That’s why she didn’t ask who they were supposed to capture or what the person’s name was.

Moreover, she left before the person could finish their message, heading directly for the Inner Domain.

Ping’er regretted a bit. If she knew who she was looking for, it would be easier to find them.

“It’s hard to find a good-looking, slightly stronger man in such a low-class place. 1 can feel my anger boiling over.”

“1 can’t take it anymore. I need someone to vent my frustrations on.”

Ping’er’s face turned a shade of crimson.

She looked around, ready to find a city and see if there were any men with decent strength and good looks.

“Such low-class places are indeed low-class. It’s suffocating. Even if I’m getting involved with some pig or dog, I need to vent.”

Ping’er clenched her teeth. She decided that after finding Jiao Ming, she’d exaggerate what happened so that her Mistress would severely punish him!

If it wasn’t for him, why would she need to vent on someone as lowly as a pig or a dog?

“The people in the major forces are usually strong. What are the major forces in the Inner Domain? I’ll ask someone and go to the major forces to find a somewhat handsome low-class person. That way, it’ll be easier to bear.”

After having this thought, Ping’er set off to ask people about the whereabouts of major force Sects nearby.

Having asked about the location of Sword Master Cliff, Li Xuan leisurely headed towards it, taking his time and enjoying the journey.

He wasn’t far from the Sword Master Cliff.

Li Xuan stood on a hill, gazing into the distance at a peak sticking diagonally into the ground like a sword— it was the Sword Lord cliff!

“This inner region’s scenery is truly diverse and colourful.”

Midway in his awe, his brows suddenly raised.

A graceful figure descended from the sky, landing on the summit.

Ping’er originally planned to go to Sword Lord Cliff, but on the way, she saw a young man standing on the hill, exceptionally handsome with a distinctive aura, such that even in the Spiritual Realm, was hard to come across.

“In such an inferior place, there exists such a man?”

At this moment, Ping’er felt her heart fluttering.

“He’s the one!”

Ping’er brightened up, instantaneously appearing in front of Li Xuan.

Moreover, she circled around Li Xuan, the more she analyzed him, the more excited she became, the more satisfied she looked.

Li Xuan frowned, looking at the flushed woman who seemed to have consumed an aphrodisiac, exuberating an incredibly flirtatious aura.

Although she was beautiful and seductive, she was overly frivolous and flirty, causing him to scrunch up his brows.

“A celestial martial artist from the Spiritual Realm? Is this a natural trait or the result of cultivation technique?”

Li Xuan contemplated.

As for the lively woman’s intentions, he hardly cared. One slap was all it took to kill her, he didn’t hold her in regard.

“A celestial being from the Spiritual Realm, what brings you to the Inner Domain? 1 could ask her to get more insights into the Spiritual Realm.”

Li Xuan thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Ping’er had already taken a round around him, standing before him with an arrogant demeanor, and said, “In such an inferior place, to find such a handsome man is quite rare.

“What a pity, no matter how good the shell looks in this inferior place, it’s no better than pigs and dogs, just a better-looking pig or dog.

“Come on, today I’ll do you an honor, letting you enjoy the peak of worldly pleasure and use my body.

“Kneel and show gratitude quickly. This always is the blessing you’ve been seeking in your three lives….”

Boom!

Ping’er was suddenly horrified, her celestial majesty erupted, her body’s momentum surged. However, in that instant, she felt as if overwhelmed by a boundless will, instantly suppressing her.

It was as if defying the will of heaven was fruitless, there was no chance of retaliation!

Thud!

Her body exploded, turning into flying ash and dissipated.

Until her death, she was unable to understand why she encountered such a terrifying powerhouse in the Inner Domain.

“All, 1 was a bit impulsive.”

After he slapped Ping’er to death, Li Xuan sighed.

He now finally understood why Xu Yan would draw his sword to kill a martial artist deity.

It was simply because their face was too disgusting.

Especially the haughty attitude, constantly referring to others as pigs and dogs while derogating everyone else, who wouldn’t want to kill?

Especially since this woman’s provocative manner already made him uncomfortable and nauseous, yet she continued with her arrogance as if bestowing grace, desiring his body!

If not her, who else deserves to die!

After killing with a slap, Li Xuan regretted. Originally, he planned to ask her purpose, how many celestial beings had entered the Inner Domain.

Also, to probe a bit into the situation of the Spiritual Realm.

However, he was disgusted and couldn’t hold back his hand, and ended up killing her!

“Forget it, if any more martial artist deities enter the Inner Domain, I’d know soon enough. All the deities from the Spiritual Realm, are they all like this?

H

It seems the rumors are true, the powerhouses of the Spiritual Realm look down on the inhabitants of the Inner Domain, even regarding them as pigs and dogs.

“If a martial artist from the Inner Domain enters the Spiritual Realm, they’re unlikely to be treated well. Where does this sense of superiority come from?”

Li Xuan shook his head, not quite understanding why these powerhouses from the Spiritual Realm despised the martial artists of the Inner Domain so much?

Their sense of superiority was far too outrageous.

“Looking at this, the Spiritual Realm must have strict hierarchy.”

Getting an idea from a small clue, the Spiritual Realm must have a strict hierarchy. The plight of the lower martial artists would be worse compared to the ones in the Inner Domain!

After killing Ping’er, Li Xuan headed towards Sword Lord Cliff.

As for the woman’s purpose of entering the Inner Domain, with her dead, it was impossible to learn why.

ii

So this is Sword Lord Cliff.”

Ascending the stairs, Li Xuan watched the disciples practicing on Sword Lord Cliff, thinking to himself, living up to its reputation as one of the top forces in this Inner Domain.

The talents of these disciples weren’t bad, their strength surpassed the disciples from other forces..
