C130

The Immortal Yang Sword Tower was different from the panic of the people in the Immortal Yang Spiritual Academy. It was very quiet here, with only a figure slowly walking on the eighth floor.

No one in the secret realm knew about Murong Nantian's arrival, and Cang Yun was still in the middle of his trial.

Now that he had reached the eighth level, he was only a step away from the ninth level.

And now, he was standing on the stone stairs that led to the ninth floor …

This time was different. What appeared was not a black-clothed man transformed from energy, but a sword spirit dressed in a green robe. He looked towards Cang Yun with a pleased smile in his eyes.

"For you to be able to make it here, it seems that you've gained quite a lot in the past two months."

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Sword Spirit." Cang Yun bowed and revealed a smile.

It was not the first time that the two of them had met, but they did not seem unfamiliar at all.

"In this trial, as long as your sword is able to push me back a single step, it would be considered as a pass." Senior Sword Spirit nodded.

"Then, I've offended senior!"

Cang Yun nodded his head and did not say anything else. With a thought, a sword materialized in his hand.

Swoosh!

In the next moment, the long sword shot out with lightning speed and pierced through the forehead of Senior Sword Spirit.

This sword strike did not involve one's martial arts concept, but it contained one's Dao of the Sword. The essence of speed and precision was extremely difficult for an ordinary person to resist. This was the accumulation of the Dao of the Sword.

The long sword slashed through the air, as fast as lightning, and arrived before Senior Sword Spirit in the blink of an eye.

However, Senior Sword Spirit still did not move, neither dodging nor avoiding. It was only at the last moment that he slowly lifted his finger, but it was this slow movement that finally blocked the sword at an unbelievable speed.

Ding!

With a hum, Cang Yun's sword was easily caught between the fingers of the Sword Spirit Elder.

The long sword couldn't advance an inch, and the senior sword spirit didn't even budge an inch.

Such a strong force! What accurate eyesight!

Cang Yun's pupils shrank, his heart was filled with shock. This senior Sword Spirit's original body was ridiculously strong. Judging from that move, the two of them were on a completely different level. They were much stronger than the energy body before.

"No wonder Senior Sword Spirit said that I was unable to pass the ninth level with my Star Flame Sword Art. This is indeed the case …"

A thought flashed through Cang Yun's mind like lightning. At the same time, he did not stop his hands. With a pull of his hand, he tried to snatch the longsword back.

Although this sword was formed from energy, a swordsman's sword represented their dignity, and could not be discarded. A sword in a person's sword dao spirit was not a simple thing. It represented the true heart of a swordsman, and it could not allow itself to shrink back in the slightest.

Senior Sword Spirit faintly smiled and didn't try to stop him.

Swish!

From the sword attack just now, it could be seen that Senior Sword Spirit used the condition of repelling him, so it could be said that it was not exaggerated at all. The difference in cultivation between the two of them was too great, if Cang Yun did not use a heaven-defying technique, it would not be able to shake the other party at all.

Swoosh!

In the next moment, Cang Yun attacked again.

A wisp of resplendent flame spewed out from the sword's body. After which, it violently surged and burned the land, becoming increasingly fierce.

This was the true sword of Cang Yun's heart — Starfire Prairie!

With this sword, a divine light was released, and an unyielding will burned fiercely. When it met someone stronger, it was stronger, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a monstrous fire sword aura, charging straight towards Senior Sword Spirit.

Facing this sword, Senior Sword Spirit's expression finally revealed a trace of caution. He raised his hand and used his palm in place of a sword to cut out an incomparably sharp sword light.

The sword beam slashed through the sky, and with an unstoppable posture, it welcomed Cang Yun's flaming sword aura!

BOOM!

The two sword glows collided. In an instant, a violent explosion erupted between the heaven and earth. An incomparable amount of Origin Energy leaked out from the collision, turning into a violent hurricane.

Under the effect of this backlash, Cang Yun was directly pushed back a couple of hundred steps. He only managed to stabilize himself after falling to the bottom of the rock stairs.

On the other hand, senior Sword Spirit was still as calm and collected as ever. His tall and straight figure was like a pine tree rooted in the ground. He did not move at all even under the influence of the tornado!

The gap was still very wide! However, Cang Yun did not give up because of this. This was because his Sword Truth did not stop there …

Drip!

In the next moment, Cang Yun climbed up the stairs again. His speed was not fast, and his footsteps were gentle. The longsword in his hand also slowly rose up along with his footsteps.

With every step he took, the aura around his body grew stronger, and the power of the sword in his hand increased.

Sharp sword intent, unyielding pure Yang energy, and unyielding martial will continuously fused into the longsword, and like water and milk blending together, the sea and rivers melding together, perfectly condensing in an instant.

That sword was deep and vast, like a boundless sea. The power it contained was shocking!

Swoosh!

In the next moment, the Azure Cloud Sword slashed down!

The color of the sky and earth suddenly changed. A three hundred meter long fiery sword ray soared into the sky as if it wanted to cut through the heavens. It slashed down towards Senior Sword Spirit with an unstoppable force.

As the sword energy rumbled down, Senior Sword Spirit's pupils shrank. A trace of admiration flashed through the depths of his deep eyes. Cang Yun's attack had exceeded his expectations!

Swish!

Senior Sword Spirit raised his hand and slashed out a sword. A divine light suddenly appeared. This sword strike was even more powerful than the one he casually drew before.

The sword rainbow pierced through the heavens and earth, meeting Cang Yun's 300 foot sword light!

Crack!

The sword lights collided with each other like thunder striking the ground, causing an explosion!

The raging Origin Energy vibrated as Cang Yun swiftly retreated. The difference in their realms was too great, and he was simply unable to withstand the Origin Energy attacks from Senior Sword Spirit. Thus, he could only choose to dodge.

Cang Yun kept retreating, and in the blink of an eye, he had retreated to the center of the stone room. Only then did he manage to stabilize himself.

From the stone staircase where Senior Sword Spirit was, a sharp sword mark extended outwards, straight as a foot, extending all the way to the bottom of Cang Yun's feet.

Cang Yun was astonished. This sword attack was truly terrifying. If he didn't retreat, he would have been chopped into two halves.

Yet in the end, Cang Yun revealed a victorious smile.

This was because on the stone stairs, the figure of the senior Sword Spirit was pushed back a step. According to the agreement, Cang Yun had already passed this small step.

"You passed."

Sure enough, the senior sword spirit nodded his head. He turned his eyes towards Cang Yun and said, "Next up, you can enter the ninth floor and obtain master's final inheritance!"

"Thank you, senior!"

Cang Yun was overjoyed. Although he had expected this to happen, his excitement was still unquenchable when it really came.

The inheritance of the immortal palace was a chance that countless people yearned for in their dreams …

Thus, after he finished speaking, Cang Yun no longer hesitated. With anticipation in his heart, he walked along the stone stairs and headed into the passage to the ninth floor of the Immortal Yang Sword Tower.
