The momentum was so strong that it even scared the clouds above into scattering.

Yu Lang was first stunned, then overjoyed. “It’s the Ancestor, the Ancestor… has come out of seclusion!”

His words changed everyone’s expression.

The only one Yu Lang could call Ancestor was one person.

That was the Lingnan Sword Immortal who, forty years ago, used a single sword to slay twelve Sword Dao masters, startling the entire world.

Yu Yuanyi!

Could it really be him coming out of seclusion?

Just as everyone was in doubt, a voice was heard chanting from the back mountain: “Sword Qi stretches thirty thousand miles, a sword’s cold light shines over the nineteen states of Kyushu!”

The voice wasn’t loud but it was like several small swords, striking directly at one’s heart.

Those with a shallow cultivation level turned pale after hearing just this one sentence.

At the same time, a streak of sword light shot from the back mountain directly towards them, and in the blink of an eye, two more people appeared in the courtyard.

One was a young man in his twenties, the other a man in his forties with eyebrows sharp as a knife and eyes bright as stars.

Seeing this person, Yu Lang fell to his knees with tears streaming down his face, “Grandson pays respect to the Ancestor!”

As Yu Lang knelt, the other members of the Yu Family also knelt down, shouting in unison: “We pay respect to the Ancestor!”

Yu Yuanyi smiled faintly, “Stand up, you’re the head of the family after all. What kind of look is that with all the weeping?”

Only then did Yu Lang stand up, his voice filled with utmost respect and adoration, “Grandson congratulates Ancestor on the great achievement of Sword Dao and advancing into… Longevity!”

Longevity!

As if these words held infinite magic, they sent a great shock through everyone’s mind as soon as they were spoken.

It’s known that the realms of cultivation were roughly divided into: Zhenren Realm, Xiaoyao Realm, Heavenly Human Realm, Loose Immortal Realm, Longevity Realm, Golden Immortal, True Immortal, Great Luo, Immortal King, Immortal Emperor, and Immortal Venerable.

However, those latter realms are so ethereal and elusive, nobody has witnessed them and they’re just passed down as legends.

But Longevity was something everyone had heard of.

It is said that once one enters Longevity, one’s lifespan could exceed a thousand years, roaming the world freely with no restraints.

Since the last Longevity expert disappeared a hundred years ago, it has been rare to hear of anyone advancing into Longevity again.

If Yu Yuanyi had truly entered Longevity, it could be the most shocking news for the Huaxia martial community.

It might even have the potential to change the world order.

While many were filled with awe and fear, a naïve child’s voice came through.

“Daddy, what is Longevity? Can you eat it?”

The crowd turned to look and saw a little girl speaking to Xue An.

At this moment, many had already condemned Xue An to death in their hearts, believing he was doomed.

Therefore, upon seeing this scene, they couldn’t help but sneer internally.

Only Xue An’s expression was calm, he even managed a faint smile, “Longevity… to me, is nothing more than ants!”

As soon as these words were spoken, many laughed in ridicule, convinced that Xue An had been scared out of his senses.

At that moment, Yu Lang’s eldest son, Yu Ming, the real top expert among the younger generation of the Yu Family, stepped forward and said indifferently, “Ancestor, leave this man to me.”

Yu Yuanyi looked at Xue An with a calm expression and remained silent, which was taken as tacit approval.

Yu Ming looked up, his cold gaze fixed on Xue An, and after a moment, he said slowly, “It was you who killed my brother?”

Xue An nodded.

“Good! Today shall be your date of death!” Yu Ming declared, his eyes blazing with confidence.

He was absolutely certain of defeating Xue An.

As a young expert painstakingly cultivated by the Yu Family, he had already reached the cultivation level of a Half-step Loose Immortal. Having followed the Ancestor for some days now, his cultivation had improved even further, and he was just a hair away from officially stepping into the Loose Immortal Realm.

At his age, to step into the Loose Immortal Realm would make him a true pinnacle figure among the younger generation.

And Xue An was merely a Heavenly Being.

In Yu Ming’s eyes, defeating a Heavenly Being was as easy as turning his hand over.

But Yu Ming never held back his strength, so the moment he raised his hand, a stream of cyan Sword Qi had already taken shape and then headed straight for Xue An.

Wherever the Sword Qi passed, the grass on the ground grew wildly and hundreds of flowers bloomed, life burgeoning with every step.

“It’s the Yu Family’s Life Sword!” someone exclaimed in shock.

The Yu Yang, who was cut down by Xue An on the banks of Qingfeng River, had cultivated the Killing Sword, where every step brimmed with murderous intent.

What Yu Ming cultivated, however, was the Yu Family’s Life Sword, which was the exact opposite in nature to the Killing Sword, and he had already mastered it to perfection.

In terms of strength, he was more than ten times stronger than Yu Yang.

Yu Ran couldn’t bear to watch and turned his head away, his heart filled with desolation.

Yang Xudong, on the other hand, was thrilled, waiting to witness the scene of Xue An’s imminent death.

But Xue An laughed.

“Since you strike me with a sword, I shall return the favor with mine!”

After speaking, Xue An let out a light cry.

“Sword, come!”

The Dragon Roar Sword, originally resting on the table, let out a gentle whimper as it soared into the sky, flying straight into Xue An’s hands.

This scene, however, did not cause Yu Ming’s sword momentum to shake in the slightest, as it still stabbed straight at him.

Xue An raised his hand, easily dodging the thrust, and then said coldly, “I’ve said before, your Yu Family has cultivated the Sword Dao incorrectly. Since you don’t believe it, then today… I will show you, what a real Immortal’s Sword is!”

Having said that, Xue An raised his sword and then swung it down with the force of thunder.

“Witness my sword… split mountains and rivers!”

The brilliance of this sword shone like the sun illuminating the earth.

It seemed as if even space itself was cleaved apart by this sword.

But facing this earth-shattering sword strike, Yu Ming still met it head-on without a hint of fear.

Boom!

The Yu Family’s top-tier Life Sword, clashing with Xue An’s unstoppable sword, exploded like thunder.

The shock caused everyone’s blood to surge.

Who had won and who had lost?

The crowd looked on with nervous speculation.

Then they saw a scene that filled them with shock and awe.

A deep trench extended behind Yu Ming, so long that it seemed to have no end.

And Yu Ming, with a pale face, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

As the blood hit the ground, the small hill behind him creaked under the might of the sword and eventually collapsed with a thunderous fall.

With one sword.

He split the mountain!

This level of swordsmanship was simply unheard of.

And Xue An, who stood holding his sword, asked indifferently, “Now, are you convinced?”

Yu Ming struggled to say something, but at that moment, Yu Yuanyi sighed.

“Yu Ming, step back!”

A look of pain flashed in Yu Ming’s eyes, and he finally bowed his head and said, “Yes!”

Then Yu Yuanyi stepped forward, smiling faintly, “An astonishing swordsmanship indeed! I didn’t expect that after several decades of seclusion, such a breathtakingly talented young man has appeared in the world.”

Yet Xue An remained calm, shaking his head, “Not quite!”

“What is not quite?”

“Something is off about the aura on you,” Xue An paused for a moment then smiled grimly, “Your current strength isn’t that of the Longevity Realm, at best, you’re just a Half-step Longevity. Am I right?”

Yu Yuanyi let out a sigh, “Indeed, you have sharp eyes. But you’ve forgotten, a Half-step Longevity… is still Longevity!”
