Maximum Comprehension: Taking Care of Swords In A Sword Pavilion

Chapter 102: The wind fuelling the fire, burning for thousands of miles

Hearing Patriarch Tao Ran’s words, Zhang Cheng revealed a faint smile and nodded gently.

“Boom—”

Within a thousand miles, the clouds rolled!

Heaven Realm!

With a raise of his hand, he grasped the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth!

Whether it was the low-level disciples or the half-step Heaven Realm experts fighting, they had no choice but to retreat.

In front of a true Heaven Realm expert, no one had the courage to attack.

Heaven Realm.

The sect master of the Wind Spiritual Sword Sect was actually at the Heaven Realm!

There were only three Heaven Realm experts in the Western Frontier. They controlled the three major forces and suppressed the various sects in the Western Frontier for countless years.

At this moment, the sect master of the Wind Spiritual Sword Sect had stepped into the Heaven Realm and become the fourth Heaven Realm expert in the Western Frontier.

...

No wonder the Great Spiritual Sword Sect, which was also one of the four major sword sects, would merge with the Wind Spiritual Sword Sect.

No wonder Mu Tieyang would fight to his death but failed to change the outcome of the sect.

In front of a Heaven Realm expert, all schemes were useless!

That day, the Nine Mystic Sword Sect had used all their trump cards, thinking that the situation was set.

However, in front of a Heaven Realm expert, what kind of situation could not be reversed?

The disciples of the Nine Mystic Sword Sect all turned pale.

Who wouldn’t be afraid of the power of the Heaven Realm?

“Unfortunately, I taught you too much back then,” Patriarch Tao Ran shook his head and said coldly.

Hearing Patriarch Tao Ran’s words, Zhang Cheng’s smile widened.

“That’s right. Senior Brother Yu He, you taught me too much back then. You let me know that when the wind and fire are used in combination, it can turn into a huge force.”

“You even let me know that as long as you condense the power of wind and fire, you will reach the Heaven Realm.”

Looking at Patriarch Tao Ran’s cold face, Zhang Cheng’s smile slowly disappeared.

“In order to prevent you from entering the Heaven Realm, I’ve put in a lot of effort.”

“The Wind Spirit Dao Sect put in a lot of effort to make the Spirit Dao Sect agree to ban the Prairie Fire Sword Technique.”

“How is it? Is Senior Brother Yu He satisfied with Junior Brother’s gift?”

Patriarch Tao Ran did not speak again.

The Nine Mystic Sword Sect’s half-step Heaven Realm experts flew over.

Zhang Cheng looked up at the Nine Mystic Mountain in the distance, then at Jin Ze, the Sect Master of the Nine Mystic Sword Sect.

“Have you become an ingrate? You can’t remember how you groveled back then?”

Zhang Cheng spoke softly, his eyes filled with disdain.

Jin Ze’s expression did not change. He cupped his hands and said, “Sect Master Zhang has enteredn Realm and become the fourth Nascent Soul cultivator of the Western Frontier. Congratulations.”

“Since you want to congratulate me, use the Nine Mystic Sword as a congratulatory gift.” Zhang Cheng sneered and swept his gaze across the Nine Mystic Sword Sect members in front of him.

“Those who violate the ban and use the Prairie Fire Sword Technique will have their cultivation crippled.”

“Leave the person who killed Mu Tieyang to me.”

Zhang Cheng’s gaze landed on Jin Ze and he said indifferently, “These conditions are much easier to fulfill than back then.”

“I don’t think you’ll refuse, Sect Master Jin, right?”

Back then…

Back then, there were only three of five lineages left on the Nine Mystic Mountain.

Sword Pavilion Elder Zhu Shen had fought a tragic battle and lost his inheritance.

The Nine Mystic Sword Sect would never forget this pain.

The situation that day was even tougher than before.

In face of a Heaven Realm cultivator!

The Nine Mystic Sword becoming a congratulatory gift.

The people who used the Prairie Fire Sword Technique would lose their cultivation.

The Sword Pavilion Elder who killed Mu Tieyang would be handed over to the Wind Spiritual Sword Sect to take away.

If he had agreed to one of these three conditions, the people of the Nine Mystic Sword Sect would lose their faith.

Sect Master Jin Ze shook his head with a regretful expression. “Sect Master Zhang, our Nine Mystic Sword Sect really can’t fulfill your request.”

“I promised to give the Nine Mystic Sword to someone else.”

Hearing his words, Zhang Cheng laughed instead of being angry.

“Someone else?”

“Tai Yi Sword Sect, right?”

He looked down at the convoy below, then chuckled. “Jin Ze, this is why you’re not as good as Gao Changgong.”

“He can ruthlessly enter the Sword Pavilion and condense the power of the Hundred Breath Realm.”

“You can’t do it.”

“Without entering the Heaven Realm, you will never know what the Heaven Realm is.”

“Boom—”

As soon as he finished speaking, endless astral winds surged. The earth was vast, and the clouds were vast!

The clouds covered the sky, and it was dark.

“A Heaven Realm Nascent Soul cultivator’s words are law. An Earth Realm Core Formation cultivator is just an ant.”

“Do you really think Elder Tu Sun will stand up for your Nine Mystic Sword Sect?”

“Without a Heaven Realm expert, your Nine Mystic Sword Sect is not qualified to speak to a Heaven Realm expert!”

Zhang Cheng’s words made Jin Ze’s expression change.

A spiritual light flashed on Jin Ze’s body as he shouted, “Junior Jin Ze requests for Elder Tu Sun to uphold justice.”

10 breaths.

20 breaths.

His expression grew grimmer.

There was no response from the void.

The Great Elder of the Tai Yi Sword Sect, the number one sword cultivator in the Western Frontier, did not come as agreed!

Zhang Cheng chuckled and said indifferently, “You asked your sect members to use a forbidden technique to provoke my Wind Spiritual Sword Sect and depleted Gao Changgong’s Hundred Breath Heavenly Realm strike to reassure me and lure me here.”

“All of this is to ask Master Tu Sun to help.”

“Do you think the Tai Yi Sword Sect will be willing to see our Wind Spiritual Sword Sect produce a Heaven Realm expert? As long as we take the Nine Mystic Sword, Master Tu Sun will definitely take action.”

At this point, Zhang Cheng chuckled and said, “Jin Ze, you’re known for being able to create something out of nothing. Why did you miscalculate this time?”

Hearing his words, Jin Ze shook his head and turned to look in the direction of the Nine Mystic Mountain. He said in a low voice, “I miscalculated how ruthless a Heaven Realm demon was to protect itself. I also miscalculated the Heaven Realm. After all, it’s still the Heaven Realm.”

The Heaven Realm demon had not appeared, and the Nine Mystic Sword was still at the bottom of the Sword Pavilion.

If he could not hand the Nine Mystic Sword to Master Tu Sun, his promise to help would be invalid.

In the end, Zhang Cheng was already in the Heaven Realm. Master Tu Sun was not willing to fight a Heaven Realm expert for the Nine Mystic Sword Sect for no reason.

Without Master Tu Sun taking action, it was hard to say if the Nine Mystic Sword Sect would survive against Zhang Cheng who had entered the Heaven Realm!

Zhang Cheng’s expression returned to calm as he looked at Patriarch Tao Ran.

“Senior Brother Yuhe, come back to the Heavenly Wind Cliff with me.”

What answered him was the flames around Patriarch Tao Ran.

The flames turned into a huge palm and collided with Zhang Cheng. Then, it was shattered by the astral wind around Zhang Cheng.

He was taking action.

Patriarch Tao Ran directly attacked a Heaven Realm expert.

In the sky, all the silent figures instantly moved.

Be it the three Supreme Elders of the Nine Mystic Sword Sect or the people from the Wind Spiritual Sword Sect, they all rushed towards the opponent they had chosen.

In the eyes of the Great Spiritual Sword Sect and the Wind Spiritual Sword Sect, since the Nine Mystic Sword Sect did not yield that day, they would destroy it!

And everyone from the Nine Mystic Sword Sect knew that battling was their last chance of survival!

Zhang Cheng raised his hand, and a breeze lingered. The flames around Patriarch Tao Ran instantly exploded and turned into nothingness.

“You’re like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.”

A disdainful sneer crossed his face.

Sect Master Jin Ze shouted, “Since things have come to this, let’s fight!”

He held a green sword in his hand. Water rippled on the sword as he slashed out.

A huge wave crashed towards Zhang Cheng.

Half-step Heaven Realm!

At this moment, there were six experts from the Nine Mystic Sword Sect who had the strength of a half-step Heaven Realm expert!

Such strength was already comparable to the peak of the sect.

No wonder Jin Ze wanted to compete with the Wind Spiritual Sword Sect.

Unfortunately, the Wind Spiritual Sword Sect had a Heaven Realm expert.

Zhang Cheng sneered and raised his hand. The water in front of him exploded.

The half-step Heaven Realm Sect Master of the Nine Mystic Sword Sect, Jin Ze, trembled. Blood flowed from his mouth as he retreated thousands of feet away.

The sword light turned to dust.

“Control of metal? That’s all it is.”

Zhang Cheng looked at Tao Ran in front of him, his expression no longer gentle.

“I’ll give you one last chance to show me how strong your Prairie Fire Sword Technique is.”

“Don’t hold back. This is your last chance in this life.”

Hearing his words, Patriarch Tao Ran’s eyes lit up and he laughed. “Alright!”

The flames around him rose again. Patriarch Tao Ran turned to look at his disciple, Su Yuan, who had been pushed 10,000 feet away by Zhang Cheng’s Heavenly Realm aura.

“Su Yuan, watch carefully. If you master this Prairie Fire, you might be able to enter the Heaven Realm.”

On his body, wind and flames twisted at the same time, and a blazing aura soared.

Su Yuan nodded, gritted his teeth, and glared.

No matter how strong Patriarch Tao Ran’s Prairie Fire Sword Technique was, it was not a match for a Heaven Realm expert.

This Prairie Fire would be the last time Patriarch Tao Ran used it.

Not only Su Yuan, but all the disciples of the Nine Mystic Sword Sect below widened their eyes and stared at Patriarch Tao Ran, who had turned into flames.

Be it tragic or sad.

In the cultivation world, only strength mattered.

The Heaven Realm was the Heaven Realm.

Han Muye turned to look at the Sword Pavilion elder.

The Sword Pavilion Elder looked at the wind and fire in the sky, then at the Nine Mystic Mountain in the distance.

There was a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

“What a pity. In this life, I am still unable to leave the Nine Mystic Mountain.”

He turned to look at Han Muye beside him.

“Kid, when you go to the Central Continent in the future, tell a woman named Xiao Yueli that Gao Changgong has thought of abandoning everything and leaving with her.”

With that, the Sword Pavilion Elder shook his body and took a step forward.

Endless sword light instantly exploded from his body!

“I, Gao Changgong, have entered the Sword Pavilion for 60 years. Has the Western Frontier forgotten my name?”

“Patriarch Tao Ran, what did you deduce when we were studying the Prairie Sword Technique?”

In the sky, Patriarch Tao Ran laughed and said, “The wind fuelling the fire, burning for thousands of miles!”
