Chapter 252: Chapter 231: Drifting Through the Mortal World for 5,000 Years, Today I Finally Know Who I Am!

Without the Lifebound Sword, Master Wuguang’s Sword Dao combat power has decreased by at least twenty percent.

Master Wuguang’s expression, however, was not anxious.

He himself was more than just a Sword Cultivator.

“Vast Heaven and Myriad Universes Star Shifting Array, activate!”

Master Wuguang formed a seal with both hands, and a massive array appeared in the void.

This is a special array created by Master Wuguang after Sword Mountain River spent two thousand years providing endless resources.

Behind Master Wuguang appeared the phenomenon of a Star River, its starlight draped over his body transforming into a robe, falling into his hands as a scepter.

The next second, the scepter slammed hard into the void, and the gigantic array covering the entire Ancient Moon began to rotate swiftly.

In the distance, several Sword Masters handed over countless resources, with the primary energy core of the array being Master Wuguang himself.

“Star! Shift!”

The magnetic field of Sword Spirit Heaven suddenly changed, and energy surged into the array.

The accumulation of countless resources over two thousand years, Master Wuguang’s Primordial Spirit, the power of Sword Spirit Heaven—these three merged, and Ancient Moon started to shake, moving a moment towards the distance.

“Shift!”

Master Wuguang shouted angrily, the light on his body gradually dimming.

With the body of one person, moving the ancient bright moon.

Countless Sword Cultivators saw the force dissipating from Master Wuguang’s body and wanted to step forward to assist, but alas, the array was activated and others simply couldn’t step within.

“Hahaha, I, Ye Lan, am not here for you Sword Cultivators, but for the entire Sword Spirit Heaven, for the myriad living beings…”

Blood trickled from the corner of Master Wuguang’s mouth.

Scenes flashed through his mind like a slideshow: venturing into cultivation, exceptionally talented, overseas encounters, self-created Divine Palace, meeting a beloved, defending freedom…

The next second, a fierce light flashed.

It transformed into a final surge of light pouring into the array.

Ancient Moon began rotating.

But within just five breaths, the array began to slowly come to a halt, and the white-robed figure in front of Ancient Moon vanished.

Ancient Moon ceased its rotation but had only slightly moved away from Sword Spirit Heaven.

The most important thing, however, was that as Ancient Moon rotated, the Immortal Demon Corpse was hidden behind Ancient Moon, no longer directly facing Sword Spirit Heaven, potentially preventing some harm…

…

In Sword Spirit Heaven, people were staring at the Ancient Moon in the sky.

They all noticed…

Ancient Moon seemed to have become slightly smaller…

In the depths of Endless Sea, the giant Island Continent turtle’s eyes glinted with a trace of sorrow, fell silent for a long time, and slowly submerged to the seabed.

[Celestial Sword Calendar Year 98,760, the end of the catastrophe, Master Wuguang suddenly appeared, burned his life, broke through Divinity Transformation, slew tens of thousands of Void Black Insects, operated the Star Array, causing Ancient Moon to move a little away from Sword Spirit Heaven.]

[The Immortal Demon Corpse is no longer facing Sword Spirit Heaven head-on, and Master Wuguang also completely vanished…]

[As the battle concludes, Sword Spirit Heaven suffered innumerable losses, with eight of the thirteen remaining Nascent Soul Peak Sword Venerables falling, and among the other Nascent Soul Sword Venerables, even more perished, countless Golden Core Sword Cultivators sacrificed their lives, and among the three Sword Masters, two exhausted their origins and were seriously injured.]

[That legendary figure, Master Wuguang, also perished.]

[Sword Spirit Heaven sacrificed much but also gained return, the Void Black Insect was nearly eradicated, though despite Sword Spirit Heaven’s best efforts, it couldn’t completely eliminate them, the Void Black Insect would take at least a thousand years to repopulate, being confined next to the Immortal Demon Corpse, and due to Ancient Moon’s rotation, it’s uncertain whether the Void Black Insect will again desire Sword Spirit Heaven.]

[Following the battle, only a few Sword Cultivators continued to guard the void, most returning to Sword Spirit Heaven to recuperate.]

Though Sword Spirit Heaven lost half of its powerful beings during the insect-induced catastrophe, it regained prosperity due to the return of the strong…

This decision made by Sword Mountain River will foster the development of Sword Cultivator civilization once again. With the Black Insect temporarily in hiding, no more energy-formed spirit materials will come from them to Sword Spirit Heaven, meaning more usual resources can be directed towards lower-level Sword Cultivators.

[Sword Cultivators are less frequently seen in Reflection World, their presence slowly becoming known to the mass…]

[And among them, you, as the leader in exterminating the Broken Cocoon Alliance, have seen the name Beidou Sword Venerable spread far and wide…]

Pei Min had no intention of being the forerunner, nor was he the most powerful Sword Cultivator, but since Broken Cocoon Alliance had been portrayed as a formidable opponent to Sword Mountain River, Pei Min’s victory over their Alliance Leader naturally garnered wide fame.

[Like other Sword Venerables, you established your own Sword Institute, with all the Sword Essence within Sword Mountain River transforming. You founded Beidou Sword Institute, teaching eight types of Sword Dao: Star, Five Elements, Yin Yang, Taiyin, Taiyang…]

Many Sword Venerables who held stewardship over Sword Institutes have perished, their names forever engraved on monuments for future generations to admire, not just them, but all Sword Venerables who fell this time.

Sword Mountain River may not reveal the truth to the public, but it could narrate another story, akin to tales of past predecessors resisting invasions from other Secret Realms. Yet the truth and the narrative differ little.

Once this narrative emerged, countless Sword Cultivators were astonished.

Under Sword Mountain River’s guidance, various emotions of Sword Cultivators transformed into the fighting spirit for cultivation.

Despite Beidou Sword Institute recently being established, it has attracted countless Sword Cultivators wishing to join.

Among them, the disciples of the Star, Taiyin, and Taiyang sub-institutes are the most numerous.

However, only a few know that Pei Min’s foundational Sword Dao is the Five Elements.

Star Dao is simply cultivation using Beidou’s way of carrying Yin Yang and Five Elements, while Taiyin and Taiyang inherited from Unity Sword Master, in essence, are just superficial knowledge. Only Five Elements Sword Dao is Pei Min’s true domain.

[The name Beidou Sword Venerable spreads across the land.]

[You pay no heed, continuing your cultivation.]

[In the path of cultivation, time is inconsequential; unknowingly, you witness and accept the passing of friends one after another, Mr. Huishan, Vice Director Anx Lu, and the few Sword Venerable elders who greatly guided you, without any surprise or disturbance, continuing cultivation.]

[The demise of Master Wuguang also saw his Sword Dao backed up by the Fire of Hope, under which you apprenticed to Master Wuguang, venturing further along the path of Ten Thousand Swords Return to One.]

[You also have some curiosity why Unity Sword Master left no legacy within the Fire of Hope, nearly all Sword Cultivators leave their mark there.]

[Non-Sword Cultivator cultivators are suppressed to the extreme, while the Sword Cultivator Dao flourishes globally.]

[On the earth, after one after another Sword Dynasty crumbled, innumerable Sword Dao Sects began to take root on the land.]

[With Sword Mountain River’s silent approval, the entire Sword Spirit Heaven began to change its appearance.]

[On the ground, Sword Dynasty and Sword Sect operate concurrently, Clouds Above the Mountains and Rivers hangs in the sky, a dreamland cultivation Holy Land for earth’s people.]

[In the world, there seems solely one cultivation Dao, the Sword Dao, with one after another radiant story unfolding, Sword Cultivator civilization growing ever more resplendent…]

……

[Celestial Sword Calendar Year 98,901, after accumulating steadily, you successfully break through to Late-Stage Nascent Soul, with no bottleneck on the Nascent Soul Path ahead, your time at your age allows you to hone your cultivation to the Peak of Nascent Soul, even reaching for the chance to become a Sword Master.]

[This year, you are nine hundred and nine years old.]

[One day, you receive a summons from Guanghao Sword Master, uncover countless hidden histories buried in dust.]

[Since Black Sea Sword Master, Sword Spirit Heaven has sought ways to fundamentally resolve issues related to Ancient Moon.]

[And now, over nearly twenty thousand years, only three people have genuinely approached Ancient Moon.]

The first being Black Sea Sword Master, the last being Master Wuguang.

And one other… Unity Sword Master.
