Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Half-Moon Deadline! The Expulsion from Xuantian Sword Sect!

Xuantian’s Path of Inquiry

“Seven thousand four hundred and thirty-six steps… forty-eight breaths.”

Ximen Chuixue slowly opened his eyes, excitement flashing across them. Since stepping onto Xuantian’s Path of Inquiry, he had felt as though he had entered a world dedicated solely to the sword. Every battle against the sword energies along the path filled him with exhilaration, and his own sword comprehension was advancing at a staggering rate. Though his cultivation remained at the peak of Refining Essence into Qi, his understanding of the Sword Dao had improved at least threefold since entering the path. This terrifying rate of progress shook even Ximen Chuixue himself.

“The sword cultivators who follow the immortal path have a fundamentally different comprehension of the Sword Dao compared to me.”

“They are true sword cultivators, while I—though now a cultivator myself—am merely a warrior who wields a sword.”

“However, thanks to Xuantian’s Path of Inquiry, I have begun to understand their Sword Dao.”

“If I am given more time, I will undoubtedly become a true sword cultivator.”

A glimmer of confidence shone in Ximen Chuixue’s eyes. In the past, he had been unaware of the existence of cultivators, and so his Sword Dao had always remained within the limitations of the mortal world. Even after obtaining an immortal cultivation technique and becoming a true cultivator, he had lacked access to the sword arts of the celestial path.

Thus, despite his immense power, his sword had remained a mere mortal weapon. Through his battles on Xuantian’s Path of Inquiry, he had begun to grasp the methods of true sword cultivators. This revelation ignited an even greater passion for the sword within him.

He was the Sword Deity. Even before becoming a cultivator, he had earned that title. Now that he had stepped into the immortal path, he would continue to wield the title with pride.

“To truly become the greatest Sword Deity, my first step is to surpass Shi Feixuan.”

Raising his head, Ximen Chuixue fixed his gaze upon Shi Feixuan further ahead on the path. She was now several hundred steps ahead of him, yet the higher she climbed, the longer she lingered on each step.

This alone was enough to prove that he could surpass her. Ordinarily, Ximen Chuixue cared little for competition. However, when it came to the path of the sword, he would never take a step back. With that, he pressed forward, stepping onto the next stair.

At the highest point of Xuantian’s Path of Inquiry, Bai Chen slowly opened his eyes.

“Forty-three thousand seven hundred and sixty-two steps… thirty-six breaths.”

A faint smile formed on Bai Chen’s lips.

He had been climbing for seven days.

On Xuantian’s Path of Inquiry, the higher one climbed, the stronger the sword energies became. Reaching over forty thousand steps in such a short time satisfied Bai Chen greatly. After all, among all the experts who had stepped onto this path, none had even surpassed ten thousand steps.

“System reminder!”

“The half-moon deadline is approaching!”

Suddenly, a voice echoed in Bai Chen’s mind, jolting his thoughts back to his original plan.

“Is that so?”

“In that case, let’s proceed according to plan.”

He gently shook his head, speaking in a calm voice. When Bai Chen established Xuantian Sword Sect, he had carefully designed numerous rules. Compared to the outside world, the spiritual energy within Xuantian Sword Sect was incredibly rich—several times greater than that of the outside realm. And within the inner sect, the concentration of spiritual energy was more than tenfold that of the outside world.

Of course, such dense spiritual energy did not appear out of nowhere—it was something Bai Chen had created using his Fortune Force. Sustaining this environment for half a month had already cost him a significant amount of his power. His goal had always been to use this energy to help warriors transition into immortal cultivators. Now, half a month had passed.

All those who had entered Xuantian Sword Sect were at least at the Finger Mysticism Grandmaster realm—none of them were fools. If they had acquired an immortal cultivation technique, they should have been able to reach the first stage of cultivation within this period. If they had not, then no amount of spiritual energy would change their fate. There was no need for Bai Chen to continue wasting his resources.

“The half-moon deadline is up. Expel all who have not stepped onto Xuantian’s Path of Inquiry from Xuantian Sword Sect.”

“Regardless of whether they are in the outer or inner sect, they are to be treated the same.”

“Once they are expelled, cease all consumption of Fortune Force to sustain the spiritual energy.”

Without hesitation, Bai Chen issued his command to the system. He had never been the type to selflessly aid others at his own expense. Now that his objective had been achieved, there was no longer a need to waste his resources.

“Understood!”

The system’s voice rang in his mind once more.

“Good.”

“I can’t wait to reach the fifty-thousandth step.”

Bai Chen smiled, putting aside all distractions as he resumed his climb.
