Wang Qi couldn’t tell anyone about this, but he understood everything in his heart.
The owner of this sword mark was actually the Desolate Ancient Sovereign, whose divine eyes could trace everything back to its most primal stage, and this wisp of Desolate Ancient aura came from the Desolate Ancient Sovereign.
So he understood that everything Ji Xin said was the truth!
Anything unbelievable, as long as it happened to the Desolate Ancient Sovereign, was perfectly reasonable!
That disciple was actually the reincarnation of the Desolate Ancient Sovereign; if he had time in the future, he would definitely come and visit…
Seeing Wang Qi so excited, even to the point of being frantic, Nan Tian was stunned.
He had to reconsider the truthfulness of Ji Xin’s words, and then, like Ji Xin initially, he fell into a rather troublesome question—
Could it be that my cultivation realm is not high enough?
That shouldn’t be, right?
I am the Lord of the dignified Law Star Holy Land, a powerful cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm, capable of glimpsing heavenly secrets, working with the Imperial Court, and worshipped by millions of believers and disciples.
How could my realm not be high enough!
But he looked at Wang Qi’s current appearance, and his persistent belief was still forced to waver.
Senior Wang Qi is really smiling happily.
Could it really be that my realm is not high enough?
Holy Lord Nan Tian was a little unable to accept it.
Ji Xin, seeing this, was even more delighted, because Wang Qi’s reaction undoubtedly gave him another boost of confidence.
This was Wang Qi, the old ancestor of the Myriad Ancient Holy Land, whom even he had to call senior!
Now, even this old ancestor was shocked by the sword intent contained in this sword mark, wouldn’t it be reasonable for him, Ji Xin, not to understand this sword intent?
In fact, Wang Qi didn’t see any sword intent at all, but Nan Tian and Ji Xin both thought he did.
So Nan Tian now felt a little embarrassed.
Ji Xin and Wang Qi could both understand, was he really the only bumpkin?
Could it be that among the four Void Refinement cultivators, he was really the weakest?
How embarrassing.
Don’t ask why he just said there were five Void Refinement cultivators; isn’t it common knowledge that there are five Heavenly Kings?
Nan Tian didn’t think he should be the weakest one.
So he coughed slightly, then silently straightened his body, and then said, “This sword mark… is indeed extraordinary!”
Ji Xin, hearing the beginning, imitated Lin Huaian’s tone and repeated it to Nan Tian.
He walked to Nan Tian’s side and said with a smile, “Fellow Daoist Nan Tian, you actually didn’t understand it, because this sword intent is a heavenly secret.”
Nan Tian’s face turned red, but just as he was about to refute, Wang Qi nodded slightly and said to Ji Xin with certainty, “You’re right, this sword is indeed the ultimate heavenly secret.”
The Desolate Ancient Sovereign had actually reincarnated as well; this itself was the greatest heavenly secret, and he couldn’t tell anyone.
Wang Qi didn’t expect that Ji Xin, at the lower stage of the Void Refinement Realm, could actually possess such divine eye power, and his gaze towards Ji Xin carried a hint of admiration.
Watching Nan Tian, temporarily speechless and only able to eat his words, Ji Xin finally became happy.
The anger he suffered from Lin Huaian was now finally taken out on Nan Tian, how refreshing!
Other cultivators, after living for hundreds of years, should only consider how to improve their cultivation realm in order to prolong their lives, but Ji Xin was different.
Ji Xin knew that the great Dao law he cultivated would be difficult to advance in this life, and coupled with the fact that he had hundreds of years of life left, he was hopelessly addicted to showing off.
So the fact that Ji Xin could live to this day showed that he was really strong.
Wang Qi paced back and forth in place, looking at this sword mark, the more he looked at it, the more he could realize its extraordinary nature.
Not to mention that with the physical strength of a cultivator, this sword mark actually only floated on the surface of the stone platform, not even a fraction of an inch deep, just like a mortal.
What concerned him more was that this sword was especially like a stroke of calligraphy.
Before his death, the Desolate Ancient Sovereign had left behind a piece of writing called the “Desolate Character Incantation.”
Wang Qi had observed it for several years, so he could easily recognize that this sword mark was actually the initial stroke of the Desolate Character Incantation.
Straight down, gentle, decisive, resolute, like a dragon awakening, like a sword being drawn from its sheath, unstoppable.
The Desolate Character Incantation contained the Desolate Ancient Sovereign’s supreme understanding of the great Dao.
It took Lin Huaian ten years of cultivation to make the first stroke, which further illustrated how difficult it was for the Desolate Ancient Sovereign to achieve the Immortal Dao.
How many decades would it take to complete an entire Desolate Character Incantation?
And indeed, only a great Dao secret method of the level of the Desolate Character Incantation could help the Innate Sword Body awaken, right?
This Lin Huaian, when engraving this sword, must have been in an extremely focused, extremely careful, and extremely upright state.
If he had to say, the state he was in at that time should be even more profound than meditation!
Otherwise, even if he was the reincarnation of the Desolate Ancient Sovereign, it would be impossible to cut out such a sword mark.
He exhaled a breath, and a faint smile gradually appeared on his face: “This Lin Huaian is really intriguing.”
Ji Xin also nodded: “From the moment I chose him, I realized his extraordinary nature.”
“Make him cultivate well, and perhaps he can become the leader of the human cultivators in the future,” Wang Qi sighed, “With Lin Huaian sitting in charge in the human realm, I can finally advance to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm and prepare for Ascension to Immortality.”
“Ascension to Immortality?” Ji Xin and Nan Tian were both stunned, “Senior Wang, you’re actually strong to this extent?”
“I’m not strong, or rather, I may not even be as strong as Lin Huaian, although we two have never met, but I can be sure,” Wang Qi said in a deep voice, “His achievements in the future will definitely be more than ten times higher than mine!”
Ji Xin was a little frightened.
Lin Huaian actually received such serious affirmation and such high praise from Wang Qi?
You should know that through the conversation just now, Ji Xin had understood that the reason why Wang Qi didn’t advance to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm was because he had the world in his heart, and he was afraid that after he ascended to immortality, there would be no one to sit in charge of the Holy Word Imperial Dynasty and the Myriad Ancient Holy Land, but the appearance of Lin Huaian actually allowed him to choose to advance with peace of mind?
“I’ll mention it again, today I was lying dormant in the void when I was suddenly awakened by two extremely powerful opportunities in the human realm, and these two opportunities are both in the Tianming Sect.
One is the reincarnated sword immortal Si Qingxue, and the other must be your so-called senior brother Lin Huaian,” Wang Qi sighed, “These two will definitely grow to some incredible level in the future, especially Lin Huaian, but unfortunately I can’t say more.”
Ji Xin quickly bowed and saluted, saying, “This junior is here to thank Senior Wang Qi for valuing them so much!”
Wang Qi didn’t speak; he was just thinking about the sword mark on the stone platform.
If Lin Huaian could write a complete Desolate Character Incantation, then he would be able to become the Desolate Ancient Sovereign who reigned over the world again.
At that time, the human realm should also…
Thinking of this, Wang Qi shook his head, because he shouldn’t think about things that were too early, let alone speculate.
Although he could glimpse heavenly secrets more easily at his level, he already had a different kind of respect for this world than before.
“I should leave too. It’s not convenient for me to meet this Lin Huaian at this time,” Wang Qi turned around and said to Ji Xin,
“Take good care of this sword mark. In the future, you must carefully preserve every similar sword mark that Lin Huaian cuts out.”
“This junior understands.” Ji Xin responded seriously.
Only Nan Tian was still a little dazed.
In the next moment, the two of them left, piercing through the void and tearing open space.
At this time, Lin Huaian, who was painstakingly climbing the First Peak Road, took a breath and happened to see two rays of light leaving towards the horizon.
He wiped his sweat and thought that these two big shots had finally left.
He had held that sword for so long that he was really tired, which made it a little difficult to climb the peak now.
Fortunately, Si Qingxue awakened early, otherwise Lin Huaian felt that he really wouldn’t be able to hold on.
Before he swung that sword, he seemed to be attentive, but it was all an act.
At that time, he was thinking about what to eat tonight to distract himself…
So, what should he eat?
Thinking this, Lin Huaian once again mustered the spirit to climb towards the peak.
Why not, just eat Si Qingxue!
