Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension

If Wang Daoyun's Sword Intent could one day advance to become the Heaven and Earth Congenital Dao Sword Intent, Kunlun could gain another peerless great being, further enhancing its power and heritage.

If a person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

If Wang Daoyun could really attain that level, then all his seniors and juniors currently in Kunlun would have a chance of having good lives after their reincarnation even if they did not ascend to immortality in their current life.

This was why he mainly focused on improving his Sword Intent, learning various spells and techniques, mastering multiple Sword Dao Divine Powers, comprehending the Sword Intents of previous Kunlun experts left behind in the mortal world.

Cultivation was his secondary focus, and he had yet to even properly cultivate with his Yin-Yang Heavenly Spiritual Root for a hundred years. All his cultivation base came from comprehending the Sword Dao and gaining random enlightenment.

Hence why he was still only at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm after nearly ten thousand years of cultivation. If he cultivated actively, he would have long reached the Immortal Ascension Realm, but his combat power might not be stronger than it was right now.

In the recent few centuries he had been in the outside world, his cultivation had risen rapidly compared to when he was in Kunlun, mainly because he always fought people here and there, constantly honing his Sword Dao skills and polishing his Sword Intent, so he didn't need specialized cultivation for it.

Thus, he could also focus on normal cultivation, and with the countless resources in his hands combined with the Yin-Yang Heavenly Spiritual Root, he had already reached the later stages of Tribulation Transcendence Realm. Given a hundred or so years, he will reach the Immortal Ascension Realm.

A ten thousand years old Immortal Ascension Realm cultivator who was not the reincarnation of some old monster, or at least not publicly known to be, was definitely extremely rare and talented.

At this moment, there was actually someone else, that too another Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivator, who's Sword Intent could be so overwhelmingly powerful. It really fascinated Wang Daoyun.

If Tian Yongheng was here, he would recognize the dark figure speculated to be a demonic cultivator in an instant just from the familiar Sword Intent and Demonic Energy radiating from his body.

Sword Lord of the Darkest Night!

Disciple of the Blade Saint, a terrifying Sword Dao expert and considered the strongest cultivator below the Immortal Ascension Realm in the world.

The Sword Lord had once developed hatred towards Tian Yongheng for taking away one of his more capable subordinates, Wei Yusheng, who was also a prodigy, and even sent a trace of his consciousness to deal with him.

However, Tian Yongheng far exceeded his expectations, and his trace of consciousness was directly destroyed by the other party. Even though it was not comparable to his true body, it was still extremely powerful.

At that time, he was shocked to discover that such a Sword Dao expert existed in the mortal world whom he had almost never heard of before.

It was only after he talked to his master, the Blade Saint, and stabilized his mind did the hatred he had for Tian Yongheng gradually subside. Now, although there was a hint of unwillingness, there was no irreconcilable hatred.

Right now, the Sword Lord had already arrived before Wang Daoyun, and both of them just stared at eachother, not speaking at all.

This was what outsiders with weaker cultivation base and low Sword Dao attainment saw.

But the Tribulation Transcendence Realm Sword Cultivators and all experts above the Immortal Ascension Realm quietly watching from afar could see what was really happening.

Sword Intent!

Not a battle of might or a battle of words, but a battle of Sword Intent!

Both Sword Intents collided against eachother like tides of opposing directions, sweeping across everything in their way. If even a bit of either Sword Intents were to leak out at this moment, it would be enough to suppress countless cultivators below the Tribulation Transcendence Realm in an instant.

Just because the Sword Lord of the Darkest Night's trace of consciousness was casually annihilated by Tian Yongheng, it didn't mean his true body was really that weak!

On the contrary, it was because Tian Yongheng was too unpredictable and powerful!

One had to know that he possessed the Sword Heart, a rare Innate Talent that had appeared less than ten times in the history of the Great World, already far more powerful than the Heaven and Earth Immortal Sword Intent, not much worse than the Heaven and Earth Congenital Dao Sword Intent.

So, the Sword Lord naturally couldn't compare without possessing any such heaven defying talent.

Despite that, he was still contending with Wang Daoyun without backing down, which showed his terrifying standings in terms of Sword Dao.

In fact, he could have also stepped into the Immortal Ascension Realm countless years ago, but he first decided to hone his Sword Intent to the utmost before breaking through, so that he could become one of the strongest individuals at the Immortal Ascension Realm right off the bat.

Not to mention both him and Wang Daoyun were holding back right now, not truly unleashing their full power.

At this moment, the Sword Lord finally retracted his Sword Intent and cupped his fists as a form of acknowledgement, followed by Wang Daoyun.

The former's state of mind had long since stabilized, and meeting someone who was on the same level or higher than him, specially in terms of Sword Dao, he was not as arrogant as usual.

"Today, this Lord has to admit, the Divinity Transcendence Venerable is as majestic as the rumors make him out to be. It's a pleasure to meet someone so talented and accomplished on the Sword Dao."

Hearing his words, Wang Daoyun and the others finally lessened their vigilance, and he replied with a slight nod, "Likewise, the Sword Lord. It is indeed rare to encounter a fellow kindred spirit who is not far from the pinnacle of mortal Sword Dao and becoming a Sword Immortal."

Wang Daoyun instantly guessed the identity of this demonic cultivator before him. Only the recognized strongest Tribulation Transcendence Realm expert in the world had Sword Intent that could rival his own while only being at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

However, the question was, why was he here?

As if sensing Wang Daoyun's confusion, the Sword Lord took the lead and explained calmly, completely different from his usual demeanor, "My master ordered me to come here and help the righteous path. Him and the Saint Master of Kunlun have already reached an agreement and decided to jointly destroy the opposing demonic forces."

Initially, he indeed wanted to come here to fight the supreme geniuses and cause trouble for the righteous path, however, he was reprimanded by his master and told that although they were demonic cultivators, they were never affiliated with neither the demonic path forces or the Demon Race, and had even joined forces with the righteous path recently.

So, he had no choice but to act on his master's orders and come here. No matter how great of an evildoer he was or the reputation he had in the outside world, he still respected his master very much.

As soon as he said these words, ripples of shock and a hint of exhilaration passed through the surroundings.

Obviously, everyone present knew who the master of the Sword Lord of the Darkest Night was.

The Blade Saint, an unparalleled supreme figure, who had reached the pinnacle of mortal Sword Dao and was acknowledged as the strongest Sword Cultivator of the demonic path, sometimes even compared to the Saint Master of Kunlun, the Nine Extremities Sword Celestial, by the older generation.

If such a person were to truly join hands with them, then the victory of the righteous path was undoubtedly set in stone.

However, at the same time, no one present, not even the Human Immortals of Kunlun and Wang Daoyun himself had heard of anything like this, so they were still a bit skeptical about the authenticity of the news.

It could be a ploy by the demonic forces for all they knew.

Seemingly a bit stunned by the words of the Sword Lord, Wang Daoyun immediately sent a voice transmission to one of the Human Immortals around him.

"Great Elder, can you send a message to master and ask him if such a thing is really true?"

This Mid Stage Human Immortal was a Great Elder of Kunlun's main peak, also known as the First Summit, where the Saint Lord of Kunlun resided. Every single Summit in Kunlun aside from the Tenth Summit had 2 Great Elders, while the First Summit had 3 Great Elders, all of whom were beings of the Half Immortal Realm.

He was directly under the Saint Lord, and was also the only Great Elder dispatched by the First Summit for the time being.

He immediately contacted someone upon hearing Wang Daoyun's instructions and then sent him a voice transmission, confirming the news.

As such, the Sword Lord of the Darkest Night temporarily joined the righteous path's camp, greatly enhancing their strength and safety, as behind him stood the greatest Sword Cultivator of the demonic path.
