And Tempering An Unsullied Body - Chapter 99

“They simply do not respect us at all! They actually dared to make a move against Sword Mountain!”

“The Sword Mountain is the representative of our Capital. No matter who it is, we will definitely make him pay a painful price!”

“We will definitely find the person who destroyed the Sword Mountain and the whereabouts of those Divine Swords. If they fall into the hands of those with ill intentions, it will most likely be another disaster!”

The sects had long considered the Divine Weapons of the Sword Mountain to be in their possession. Even if they could not use them, they would not allow others to covet them. However, now, someone had the audacity to attack Sword Mountain.

It was undoubtedly trampling on the face of these sects.

Gu Xi was the most suspicious. After all, during the day, he had drawn the swords out. If they said that this matter had nothing to do with him, they would not believe it.

“Should we go and find Gu Xi?”

The others looked as if they were looking at a fool. “If it really was Gu XI’s doing, do you think he’ll admit it? Besides, we don’t have any evidence. If we go and find trouble now, we’re simply offending someone.”

He was from a small sect, but his depths were unfathomable. Just based on that heaven-defying alchemy skill, even the Alchemy Emperor would admit defeat. Then, he even refined a Divine Weapon. In the entire Capital, those super large sects did not have the ability to nurture such a disciple.

Everyone believed that Gu Xi was just using the Supreme Purity Sect to hide his identity. His background was very complicated, and he was definitely not from an ordinary sect. It was even possible that he had come from a mysterious force in the desert, the far north, and the Central Plains.

It might even be possible that he was a Young Master who dominated a region.

Gu Xi did not know how everyone’s imagination had run wild. In reality, he was just an ordinary disciple of the Supreme Purity Sect. Even the so-called ‘Master’ was made up.

“Then what should we do now?”

“We can send people to keep an eye on Gu XI, but don’t be too obvious. Who knows, we might be able to get some clues from him.”

It was clear that the people of the Capital did not want to offend Gu Xi too much. After all, just based on his expertise in alchemy refinement and weapon refinement, they wanted to ask Gu Xi for help in the future.

Thus, when it was not necessary, they did not want to offend him.

…

Looking at the flattened Sword Mountain, everyone could not help but sigh. Things could only be like this for now.

…

On the other side, Gu Xi still did not know how much trouble he had created. When night fell, everyone entered into a sweet dream, and he was no exception.

They could vaguely see countless supreme lights suddenly lighting up from the horizon. They were like meteors flying down, bringing with them the menacing power of thunder and lightning.

Gu Xi wanted to dodge, but it was already too late. In an instant, he was completely wrapped up, as if he had come to some mysterious space.

Unexpectedly, this ball of energy emitted an extremely powerful aura, but it seemed to have no malicious intent. He saw that the Divine Swords were standing in a forest, shining like stars.

Among them were a few of the brightest stars. One of them was refined by him during the day. However, the other few stars were surrounded by a vast supreme fog, making it impossible to see their true appearances.

They were like massive, ancient planets, filled with inexplicable power, forming their own worlds.

The stars twinkled, and the sky was eternal. This scene was deeply imprinted in his sea of consciousness.

Gu Xi was the only one in the ancient and mysterious universe. He looked at the scene in front of him.

An inexplicable voice suddenly rang out. Gu Xi wanted to hear what it was saying, but a majestic shadow suddenly appeared. He was standing not far from the stars.

Compared to the huge stars around him, he was too small. However, the power emitted from his body was not to be underestimated.

The man’s back was facing Gu Xi. His figure was stretched infinitely, making him look even more mysterious.

“Who are you?” Gu Xi could not help but ask.

However, the man did not answer. Just as Gu Xi was about to take a step forward, the man suddenly moved.

He suddenly swung his sword at Gu Xi.

The man’s speed was too fast to be caught by the naked eye. The spiritual energy that was stirred up in an instant pushed Gu Xi over a hundred meters away. It was impossible to see his movements clearly.

This sword had already exceeded the range of time and space. In an instant, goosebumps appeared all over Gu Xi’s body.

There were no moves or movements. It was just that simple, yet it gave people goosebumps. A sense of fear rose from the bottom of his heart. It was just a phantom Sword Qi, but it was almost enough to destroy one’s soul. If one were to face it directly, what kind of terrifying scene would that be?

The destruction of Heaven and Earth was not out of the question. Those stars that merely touched the Sword Qi were instantly ground into dust.

The invisible Sword Qi swept out, and everything it passed through turned into nothingness.

Gu Xi panted heavily. Facing the pressure of an Emperor stage existence, he did not show any signs of fear, nor did he retreat. Even at this moment, he felt as if his soul was about to shatter.

He did not resist that aura and Sword Intent at all, as if he only wanted to submit and worship.

“Could this be the cultivation of an Emperor stage…”

Gu Xi could not help but recall that it was the same in the strange vision of the Mother and Child Cauldron. His soul had been pulled into the alternate dimension, and he had also seen a powerful man.

He did not know who would be better between the two.

He was immersed in this shocking sword and looked at the man’s blurry shadow. The sword swept in all directions, and the heroes worshiped it. Wherever it pointed, everyone would submit. They had truly achieved eternal glory. Even if there were many heroes, no one had the slightest bit of his heroic bearing.

It could be said that the man was the most dazzling existence in this era. He crushed all the heroes and enveloped everyone in his own radiance.

Gu Xi’s intuition told him that the man in front of him was probably the founder of the royal family.

The man slashed the stars with one swing of his sword, as if he wanted to shatter the void. He let out endless roars.

Even though Gu Xi could not see the expression on his face clearly, he could still feel resentment and unwillingness.

“Why would such a powerful person be like this? It’s as if he’s trapped by something…”
