Chapter 32

"This sword..."

In the depths of the Sword Tomb, Lin Yuan gripped the sword's hilt. Even so, he could clearly feel the sword trembling slightly. If he hadn't been continuously operating the "Supreme Sword Command Sensing Technique" within him, Lin Yuan had no doubt that this sword would have flown away on its own.

"A mere inanimate object possesses such spirituality?"

Lin Yuan couldn't help but marvel. If this were placed in the Universal Human Alliance, only spacecraft battleships created through the fusion of biological technology with a value comparable to planets might be worthy of comparison.

"However, even with spirituality, it is still an inanimate object."

Lin Yuan could sense that the sword's resistance was weakening. In just a moment, the trembling stopped, and the sword was calmly held in Lin Yuan's hand.

Only at this point did Lin Yuan turn around to look behind him.nove(l)bi(n.)com

The current head of the sect, Azure Daoist Cangqing, the plump Daoist, and Daoist Pingyangthese three Celestial Phenomenon Realm mastersstood not far away, quietly watching Lin Yuan. Their expressions were complex, reflecting satisfaction, shock, or reminiscence.

"Sect Master."

Lin Yuan's face promptly showed a trace of awe. He was about to bow respectfully.

"No need."

The head of the sect, Azure Daoist Cangqing, took a step forward and raised Lin Yuan.

"Since you have been chosen by the True Martial Sword, you are the inheritor of True Martial in this generation and the future Tian Shi Sect Master."

Azure Daoist Cangqing spoke with a solemn tone.

The journey to the Sword Tomb concluded, and Lin Yuan did not return to the Daoist quarters on the mountainside. Instead, he was personally taken by the head of the sect, Azure Daoist Cangqing, to a residence at the mountaintop. Four other Daoist children accompanied Lin Yuan. From Azure Daoist Cangqing's casual chat, Lin Yuan learned that these four Daoist children had chosen swords left by the past Celestial Masters. While not as exceptional as the "True Martial Sword" Lin Yuan had selected, these swords were still outstanding. There was a great hope for them to reach the Celestial Phenomenon Realm in the future.

"Senior Brother Shanfeng, what do you think the sect master is doing?"

A little Daoist who had closely followed Lin Yuan, asked anxiously.

"Don't worry; it must be a good thing."

Lin Yuan replied casually.

From the information inadvertently revealed by Azure Daoist Cangqing, Lin Yuan inferred that the five of them would definitely be cultivated by the Tian Shi Sect as "seeds." Especially for Lin Yuan, being chosen by the True Martial Sword directly designated him as the "future Celestial Master," as mentioned by Azure Daoist Cangqing.

What was the concept of the Celestial Master in the Tian Shi Sect?

Even after five hundred years, the world still couldn't forget the terror of the Celestial Master. If the Tian Shi Sect produced a Celestial Master, they would be invincible in the world.

In Lin Yuan's understanding, the world's power ceiling was the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. Perhaps there were very few exceptional talents who could barely step a small or large part beyond the Celestial Phenomenon Realm's foundation.

But only the Celestial Master in the Tian Shi Sect could completely surpass the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

This was also the reason why the Celestial Master was invincible in the world.

Even Lin Yuan is curious about what it takes to completely step beyond that stage known as the 'Tian Shi' or Celestial Master. After all, according to Lin Yuan's calculations, achieving a breakthrough beyond the Celestial Phenomenon Realm would take at least fifty years, even with the assistance of extraordinary innate understanding.

"Wrong."

"Wrong."

"I've misunderstood the method to break through the Celestial Phenomenon Realm."

After observing the essence of the Yin and Yang forces within the True Martial Sword, Lin Yuan immediately became aware of a problem within himself. Several years ago, he quietly broke through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. However, the foundation of Lin Yuan's entry into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm mainly came from the martial world he traversed last time.

It's not that he was wrong, but breaking through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm in this manner would make the subsequent path more difficult.

"If I use either the power of the sun or the power of the moon as a foundation to enter the Celestial Phenomenon Realm and then attempt the combination of Yin and Yang to break through the Celestial Phenomenon Realm..."

Lin Yuan quickly formed thoughts in his mind. He decided to break through the Celestial Phenomenon Realm again.

For others, attempting to break through the Celestial Phenomenon Realm again would likely require discarding their cultivation and starting anew. However, Lin Yuan possessed extraordinary innate understanding. He quickly deduced a method that allowed him to seamlessly convert his Celestial Phenomenon Realm true qi and true power into the power of the moon or the power of the sun.

Although there was some loss in the process, it was much better than scrapping everything and starting over.

"This sword..."

"Could there truly be a True Martial Emperor in this world?"

Lin Yuan's gaze fell once again on the sword in front of him. The inherent essence of the power of the moon and the power of the sun contained within the sword could guide living beings to transcend the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. The strength of such a creation would be inconceivably terrifying.

The next day, Lin Yuan and the other four disciples gathered outside. Sect Master Cangqing, along with the other two Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts, stood not far away.

"Alright."

"The five of you are the future hope of our Tian Shi Sect."

Sect Master Cangqing's gaze lingered imperceptibly on Lin Yuan for a moment. Clearly, in Sect Master Cangqing's eyes, the other four were dispensable. As long as Lin Yuan, the future Celestial Master chosen by the True Martial Sword, was present, it sufficed.

However, due to the rules of the Tian Shi Sect, the other four were also brought along.

"Next."

"I will take you to the True Martial Dao Repository."

"That is where the past Celestial Masters of our sect secluded themselves in cultivation."

"There, you will find records of the paths and insights gained by the Celestial Masters."

Sect Master Cangqing spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, excitement appeared on the faces of the four disciples. In Mount Long, the Celestial Master was already a 'legend.' Being able to visit the place where the Celestial Masters once cultivated was something every disciple of the Tian Shi Sect longed for.
