"You all are not yet qualified to pay respects to Xuan Nu and reach the Cloud Platform, naturally considered as people outside the mountain."
The Sword Monarch turned around, looking down at Tie Dan,
"How to select disciples, when to teach and pass on techniques, whether itās worth passing on the sword and talisman, itās naturally within their duty, I have no right to interfere.
However, the lineage of Guangxia Mountain is the outer mountain of our Sword Sect. Chen Dewei is my direct transmission, along with Yue Peng, Zhou Feng, and Liu Xiaoliu, who are also disciples of the Sword Sect.
Since theyāre entangled with past ties to the Wisdom Dharma King of the Demon Sect, whether they live or die, whether they are righteous or evil, whether theyāre demons or dao, I must thoroughly investigate."
Tie Dan looked at him, then at the corpses on the ground,
"At this point, whatās the use of saying all these? What can you change?"
The Sword Monarch said,
"Iām not trying to change anything, just telling you I will thoroughly investigate this matter. Other things, Iāll talk about after Iāve investigated them."
"Other things? Talk later?"
Tie Dan stared at him,
"If itās found out that Master really defected to the Demon Sect, what will you do? Exterminate demons and defend the dao?"
The Sword Monarch did not answer.
Tie Dan sneered,
"Who is demon? Who is dao? Who is righteous? Who is evil? Passing on the sword is their responsibility, do you really let go and not care?
You canāt see through whether the Inner Mountainās actions over these years are right or wrong, then youāre just a fool! If you see it but donāt care, youāre just the same lot!
Want to join the Sword Sect but you donāt accept! Turning to another sect they say is treacherous! Still wanting to defend the dao and exterminate demons! Is there such a nonsensical and unreasonable sect in this world! Run into them and itās deserved to die at your hands, is that right!"
The Sword Monarch did not answer.
"Not even worth talking to a dead man like me."
Tie Dan sneered,
"Youāve asked what needed asking, Iāve eaten meat, drank wine, make it quick, take my head to hand it over to your Inner Mountain!"
The Sword Monarch did not get angry,
"You have a strong killing intent, indeed rare for a good sword, no wonder they repeatedly tempered and refined you."
Tie Dan almost laughed, spitting in anger,
"Temper? Ha! Temper your damn head!"
The Sword Monarch drank the wine in the gourd in one gulp,
"Think however you like, as long as it leads to faster sword strikes, thatās all that matters.
To pass on my Sword Dao is death, not life, only through killing does it end.
Your grievances, your anger, your righteousness, your Daoist Heart.
Under the sword, they donāt matter."
Then the Sword Monarch wiped his mouth and turned to leave.
... Just left like that?
Tie Dan was puzzled for a moment, then suddenly angered.
These Mystic Sect experts, what are they playing at? What does this mean now?
Sent people from Honzan to kill him, so is he now considered a traitor to the Sword Sect?
With all the grudges with the Demon Palace and Demon Sect, does he have to face them all?
In the vast world, is there really no place for Tie Dan...
Tie Dan gazed at the snow domain under the night, listened to the distant beast roars, remained silent for a moment, then suddenly shook his head.
No matter about all that, must first forge the sword, this was already the second assassin from Honzan, and afterwards, there might be four, five, six, seven.
Forge the sword! Once the sword is forged, then kill!
Kill, kill, kill!
No matter right or wrong!
No matter righteous or evil!
Kill them all!
Then the world will be at peace!
With this, Tie Dan immediately restored his Daoist Heart and resumed meditation, starting cultivation, refining the Sun first, then Taiyin, followed by the Taiji Four Qi in turns. Repeatedly quenching the sword, repeatedly reaching peaks, repeatedly reorganizing. Now Tie Danās Heavenly Ruin Sword Qi was thick and solid, truly reaching a critical point, any slight sitting in meditation could potentially call down Heavenly Thunder.
However, perhaps by coincidence or fate, this time, after being severely injured, Tie Danās cultivation fell, but contrary-wise, it temporarily delayed the Heavenly Tribulation, so Tie Dan seized time to successfully cultivate the Nine Luminaries Sun Sword Scripture.
So, this is what Daoist Cang Song meant by giving oneself a punch to interrupt breakthrough as a training technique. This way, itās good as well, continuously giving oneself a sword, delaying cultivation to the Nine Luminaries Unification realm...
"What are you doing?"
The Sword Monarch looked shocked.
"Why are you back again..."
Tie Dan was speechless.
Just now, seeing him leave so casually, didnāt it mean he was exiting the scene??
Then Tie Dan looked down, uh, alright, turns out this guy went to slay a beast, bringing back a bag of Demon Cores. Could it be...
Heās offering protection?
The Sword Monarch was not blind, besides, he was in the Five Luminaries United realm too, naturally, he saw through this sword forging method at a glance.
"You! Youāre planning in the Golden Core Realm! Nine Luminaries Unification!"
Is this a joke!
Heās been in Divinity Transformation for how many years and only Five Luminaries! This guy only entered for two years? Three years? Almost uniting Eight Luminaries!
Three luminaries more than him!!
Three luminaries!!
The Sword Monarch was about to break down!
"And how did you even refine Jidu and Luohou! Werenāt those two Sword Scriptures sealed away! How...
Ah! You cultivated the Killing Sword!"
Tie Dan remained silent for a moment, looked at the sword light behind Po Jun Sword Lord.
"... Since itās discovered, do you have the Returning Dust Sword Scripture? Can you help me complete it?"
"Help you complete... are you kidding! Where did you learn so many secret techniques! Could it be Dewei secretly passed them to you!"
The Sword Monarch was taken aback, then furiously angry,
"Fine! Fine! You scoundrel! No wonder Tian Gang always eyed your Guangxia Mountain lineage!
The Formless Sword even passed on! No wonder he betrayed the sect! If I knew, Iād have to kill him too!"
Tie Dan noticed his genuine anger and couldnāt help frowning,
"Whatās wrong with passing skills, since I can cultivate, why canāt I cultivate both.
Besides, is the Killing Sword so great? The hidden star power is insufficient, I donāt even bother using it..."
"Shut up! Fool! Scoundrel! Skills must not be lightly taught! Did Dewei not even teach you this simple truth!"
