Checking in for 100,000 Years

"Elder Duan, you don’t need to blame yourself.

Although the ninety-nine layers of the Thousand Lakes Sword Array weren’t deployed in time, just now Ye Chen triggered the power of the Thousand Lakes Sword Array. This alone is enough to prove his strength; you’d better return first..."

Just as Elder Duan was at a loss, Sikong Ying’s voice came through the teleportation portal, echoing in his ears.

"This is very good, Pavilion Master!"

Elder Duan’s expression brightened, and he responded promptly.

He was about to turn around when he suddenly glanced at the cage-like sword array confining Pan Wu and couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

Thanks to Ye Chen’s intentional manipulation just now, this layer of the sword array was much more powerful than before. He wasn’t sure if this fellow could successfully break through it violently.

"Never mind, even if he can’t break through violently, this kid should be able to hold on for three days..."

Elder Duan, considering it’s better to avoid complications, quickly stepped into the teleportation portal and disappeared.

On the surface of the lake.

Under the powerful attack of the sword array, Pan Wu was already caught in a struggle like a trapped beast. He was drenched in sweat, continuously wielding his sword, desperately resisting the fierce attacks of the sword array.

"The sword array was almost broken, how did its power suddenly increase so much?"

While fighting against the sword array, Pan Wu was filled with doubt.

He never dreamed.

The person he provoked had silently come to his side and secretly increased the formation’s power several times over.

On the square of Hanging Island.

At this moment, dozens of Sword Dao prides of various levels stood sparsely, Ye Yun among them.

Those who first broke through the Thousand Lakes Sword Array violently turned out to be some Sword Dao prides in the Divine Sovereign Realm, while fewer were in the Divine King Realm.

Ye Yun understood clearly.

Perhaps the pressure from the Thousand Lakes Sword Array was lighter for the Sword Dao prides in the Divine Sovereign Realm.

Thus, these people could first violently break through the sword array.

However.

The test for the disciples of Sword Pavilion is far more than the Thousand Lakes Sword Array, so whether the Sword Dao prides in the Divine Sovereign Realm can make it to the end is still hard to say.

After waiting for half a day.

Ye Yun looked left and right but saw that Jiang Lengyue had not yet come out.

"That’s strange, I clearly assisted her with one sword, why hasn’t she come out yet?"

Ye Yun furrowed his brows slightly.

After a day passed, and Jiang Lengyue still hadn’t come out, Ye Yun suddenly realized something was amiss.

It seemed Jiang Lengyue had also received extra attention.

The first layer of the sword array wasn’t complete, and a few more layers were added.

Thinking of this, Ye Yun felt relieved instead.

Jiang Lengyue was at the God King Stage Eight. Such a cultivation base is considered top-tier in this preliminary selection.

She would undoubtedly be selected for the Sword Pavilion.

After waiting for another half-day, a white figure finally descended from the light portal in the void.

It was Jiang Lengyue.

At this moment, the beauty from the Jiang Family had disheveled hair, was drenched in fragrant sweat, and her expression looked slightly exhausted, indicating she had experienced unimaginable battle in the Thousand Lakes Sword Array.

Jiang Lengyue landed on the square, Ye Yun greeted her with a smile.

"Miss Jiang, why did it take you so long to come out?"

Approaching her, Ye Yun asked with a smile.

"I encountered two layers of the sword array, after breaking the first layer, another layer appeared..."

Jiang Lengyue sighed, shook her head slightly in frustration, and said, "Isn’t this bullying?"

With these words spoken, many Sword Dao prides on the square were instantly shocked.

Seeing Jiang Lengyue, the gaze of everyone was filled with admiration.

This powerful White-Clothed Sword God managed to break through two layers of the sword array, which was indeed incredible.

While all these people only managed to break through one layer.

After breaking through, they could leave the Thousand Lakes Sword Array.

During their communication on the square, everyone initially formed a consensus—

that the Thousand Lakes Sword Array only had one layer.

No one expected.

The White-Clothed Sword God Jiang Lengyue had encountered two layers within the array!

How terrifying the two layers of sword array were, everyone could imagine, yet this Jiang Lengyue forced her way through by violently breaking both layers.

This kind of fearsome power, how could it not frighten everyone?

...

"Two layers, is that considered bullying?"

Looking at Jiang Lengyue, Ye Yun blinked, holding back from saying it.

He encountered twenty layers of the sword array, but didn’t complain.

Ye Yun was worried that if he spoke bluntly, it would hurt Jiang Lengyue’s self-esteem. After all, he could see that everyone greatly admired Jiang Lengyue for breaking through two layers of the sword array.

Seeing Ye Yun only blinking without speaking, Jiang Lengyue suddenly realized and asked Ye Yun, "What did you just call me?"

"Miss Jiang, didn’t I? Why, is this title inappropriate?"

Ye Yun shrugged with a smile.

"It’s fine, no problem at all!"

Jiang Lengyue chuckled, slightly savoring and said, "Since entering the God King Realm, hardly anyone dares to address me like that!"

"I’m not just anyone."

Noticing Jiang Lengyue’s slight arrogance, Ye Yun also found it amusing, so he continued jokingly, "I’m a tough guy, specialized in dealing with all kinds of resistance..."

"Haha."

Jiang Lengyue laughed casually, without continuing the conversation.

She wasn’t surprised at all by Ye Chen’s violent sword array breakthrough.

In her view.

This tough friend was already invincible in the Divine Sovereign Realm.

Next.

Ye Yun and Jiang Lengyue stood side by side, chatting idly to pass the boring time.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was the third day.

The number of cultivators on the square now reached hundreds.

Since three full days had not passed, the number of cultivators appearing on the square was limited.

As for the eliminated cultivators, they had long been teleported out of Hanging Island, losing their qualifications.

Swoosh...

A golden light suddenly fell from the light portal in the void like a golden meteor.

Boom!

A powerful aura of the Divine King Realm followed.

Seeing this aggressive arrival, everyone on the square hurriedly scattered to the sides.

With a boom, the golden figure landed on the square, causing the entire square to tremble thrice.

Fortunately, the square was protected by a formation and was extremely solid; otherwise, it would have been penetrated long ago.

"It’s the Golden Sword God!"

Someone with sharp eyes immediately recognized the person.

At this moment, the Golden Sword God looked quite embarrassed, drenched in blood and sweat, and the golden armor on his body was somewhat shabby, with multiple damages.

"Damn!" Someone widened their eyes, muttering, "How did he become like this..."

"It seems that within the Thousand Lakes Sword Array, the Golden Sword God faced unimaginable crises, yet he still relied on his strong abilities to violently break the array and came out ahead of time..."

A young man in the God King Realm Fourth Level speculated.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Swoosh!

Ignoring the crowd’s words, Pan Wu took a deep breath, tossed a few pills into his mouth, then sat cross-legged to begin resolving the medicinal effects and healing his injuries.

The power of the Thousand Lakes Sword Array was potent, but after adapting for two days, Pan Wu grasped the sword array’s patterns and started to break it violently.

It took nearly half a day more before he succeeded in breaking through the array.

However, Pan Wu had suffered injuries himself.

A layer of golden light rose like a shield, enveloping Pan Wu, blurring his silhouette.

From afar, Ye Yun chuckled inwardly, "This Pan Wu does have some foundation..."

At that time, Elder Duan appeared very promptly.

Otherwise, Ye Yun would have further enhanced the sword array’s power, at least forcing Pan Wu to crawl out.

"Could it be that Pan Wu encountered a three-layer sword array?"

Gazing at the golden shield, Jiang Lengyue pondered softly, thinking.

If Pan Wu encountered a three-layer sword array, which was one more than hers, she felt at a disadvantage.
