Chapter 3273: Chapter 1651: Common Soldiers Fill the Sacred Mountain, Demi-Saints as Light as Feathers on the Ground

"Lord Shou is back!"

Like a plague, these simple four words rapidly spread throughout the Spiritual Cultivators of the five regions.

Everyone rushed to the nearest Dao Imparting Mirror, crowding around the various viewing platforms, causing a massive sensation.

Indeed!

To this day, under the month-long and intense battle of the Seven Sword Deities, even old Spiritual Cultivators who stay home have heard of the new list of the Seven Sword Deities.

Everyone was scrambling and fighting fiercely.

After so long, none could shake the position of Lord Shou, who topped the list shortly after it was announced.

"Number One Sword Deity!"

How heavy is this title?

Earlier "Eighth Sword Deity" had not yet entered the list, and was only recognized by the Eastern Region, yet it triggered intense turbulence across the continent, rewriting the pattern for the next thirty years.

This term's Seven Sword Deities came with rankings.

In such a situation, someone was still able to defend the top position for so long with just three battles.

It can be said, its gold content is up to one hundred percent, almost no water mixed in!

Most importantly...

If one were to carefully understand "Lord Shou," they would find that "Number One Sword Deity" is just one of his titles, not all.

Before acquiring the title of Sword Deity, "Lord Shou" had already taken the position of second-in-command saint servant, a overlord level position in dark factions, with his extraordinary abilities as a youth.

Saint Servant Bazhun'an was his backing...

Lei Xi'er was his junior sister...

Sang Qiye was his master...

He fought the Ruler of the White-clothed Dao in the Eighth Palace, beheaded Red Coat Ruler Rao Yaoyao in Abyss Island, tore apart the Holy Emperor Qilin associated with Bei Huai, made a contract with the saint beast Greedy the Cat Spirit of the Xu Yue Grey Palace, becoming one of the "Four Divine Pillars" in the Inner Island's Ghost Beasts...

And there's so much more, so much more!

Compared to these, the "Number One Sword Deity," for which the continent has boiled and fought for so long without anyone being able to snatch away, is actually just one of the most insignificant titles he holds.

And all these chaotic threads ultimately trace back to the same source:

Lord Shou, the antithesis of the Holy Divine Palace!

The Holy Divine Palace represents justice, representing the will of ninety-nine percent of the Shengshen Continent.

From this angle, to say he, Xu Xiaoshou, stands against the world, would not be an exaggeration.

"A young man in his early twenties, with experiences richer than us old bones?"

The demi-saints in self-imposed isolation across the five regions, originally did not believe in the coming of a great era.

After checking Xu Xiaoshou's rise, each felt youthful again, with blood boiling for action.

Under that extraordinary list of achievements, "Three Breaths Innate, Three Years Sword Deity" by Supreme Sovereign Bazhun'an, all seem so dull. Who wouldn't be expectant?

The Ten High Nobles, very famous!

But not having witnessed the last generation of the Ten High Nobles and how the nine great demons emerged, does not matter.

This time, the whole continent is keenly watching, not wanting to miss this chance, all eagerly waiting.

Everyone wants to see if the utterly dominant Lord Shou will fall to the arrows of Lord Cang Sheng, or will he continue his unbeaten path, ruling over the sacred mountain, and even climbing the Stairway to Heaven?

"Saint Servant, Saint Servant..."

"Even demi-saints imprison themselves; who wasn't born a Saint Servant?"

"If Xu Xiaoshou this time can tear open a corner of Shengshen Continent's cage, reversing fate against the heavens, what can't be possible?"

...

"Audacious!"

"Such an unruly youngster, quickly drop Sword Deity Bei and surrender obediently!"

"First using others to kill, playing tricks on old Jiu, then detaining the descendants of the Feng family, preaching just for you... Good for you, Mr. Xu, really thinking you're the chosen one, capable of changing fate against the heavens and suppressing the entire sacred mountain alone?"

Contrary to the relaxed attitudes of many spectators in front of the preaching mirrors in the outside world.

Above the sacred mountain, once the effects of being aloof from the world passed, upon the reflection of who Lord Shou is and what his intentions are, the demi-saints of the Foreign Aid Faction were infuriated, puffing their beards and glaring their eyes.

With white hair, just over three hundred years old, in his fervent old age still wanting to achieve great deeds, Qin Duan instantly grabbed a fierce Red Lion Head Spear, glistening eyes glaring as he pointed:

"Xu Xiaoshou, this saint will count down from ten!"

"Immediately drop the two people in your hands, giving you a chance for a clean fight, to face death openly!"

At his phrase "this saint," Spiritual Cultivators watching through the Five Domains Preaching Mirror, all erupted in uproar.

What?

A demi-saint?

Actually a demi-saint expert!

As everyone knows, higher void is considered the peak of combat strength across the continent by most people—a realm that, with some real effort, people hope to reach.

Normally, ordinary Spiritual Cultivators, even won't know exactly which Saint each of the demi-saint families venerates.

Barely knowing Hallmaster Dao Qiongcang, Three Emperors Ai Cangsheng and the like, not even able to fully name Zhong Yuanzi, Fang Wenxin and others.

And now, this old predecessor holding the spear and self-declaring as "this saint," previously unheard of by the world, at one glance, even through a preaching mirror, one can feel his Aura reaching the skies, his Force capable of piercing the clouds, truly formidable!

And such a "Saint"...

On the left side of the sacred mountain, standing tall and chest out, and on the right, heads down and disheartened, truly an eye opener.

Compared to him, compared to them.

Lord Shou may indeed have "Lord" in his title, his posture aloof and carefree high in the clouds, his aura looking faintly like water from afar.

To discern anything more substantial from him...

Feng Zhongzui understood what everyone was thinking, and after hearing Qin Duan's words, aimed the preaching mirror at Lord Shou.

However, this guy, aside from being handsome, at first glance seems completely ordinary!

"Is it Returning to its origins?"
