Remould the Glory of Sword Art

A thousand years ago, before the Great Tribulation, was there such a person?

A human powerhouse from Da Sui Sword Palace?

"Are you looking for me?"

At the frozen end of the River of Destiny, a calm and indifferent voice suddenly echoed.

The young man in black holding a sword actually spoke.

"???"

Chi Fu Dragon Lord’s pupils contracted as if struck by lightning, he was stunned in place.

This was the first time he encountered such a situation. In the past, the Great Divine Ability Users of Heavenly Phoenix Palace used the Power of the Sky Vault for divination, merely immersing themselves in the River of Destiny to trace back some past images. The scenes they saw in the river revealed either cause and effect or the guidance of the Heavenly Dao.

He had never heard of an "interaction" occurring during divination.

Following that tiny thread of the Path of Destruction, he met the owner of the Intent, who should have fallen a thousand years ago.

This was a conversation with him.

This was someone asking him questions?!

"I..."

Chi Fu Dragon Lord opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Cold sweat already flowed down his forehead, his clothes were soaked, and he was frozen.

He was clearly a Great Venerable of the Yang God Realm.

Yet in front of this wisp of remaining thought, he seemed as restrained as a child. The young man in black didn’t exude an overly powerful aura, yet Chi Fu Dragon Lord felt unprecedented danger. He indeed traced back to an extraordinary person...

Could this be a Heavenly Human Great Cultivator from a thousand years ago?!

"I... came looking for someone..."

Chi Fu Dragon Lord spoke with incredible difficulty.

He used all his strength, barely squeezing out a few words.

He was indeed looking for someone.

But not the person before him.

The River of Destiny was silent for a brief moment.

The black-clad swordsman cast a profound gaze, looking past Chi Fu Dragon Lord, directly to the other end of the boundless river.

His gaze was deep.

As if seeing through the causes and effects and the endless years of the river.

"So that’s how it is."

The black-clad swordsman gently chuckled, "It’s somewhat interesting."

With just one glance.

It was as if everything happening in the River of Destiny had been fully understood.

"Heavenly People..."

"At least a Heavenly Human..."

"Or even higher than the Heavenly Human Realm?!"

Chi Fu Dragon Lord’s heart surged with wild waves.

With just a couple of breaths exchanged with this young man in black, he could feel intense unease.

After the Great Tribulation, there were no longer cultivators of the Heavenly Human Realm in the world. The strongest person Chi Fu Dragon Lord had ever seen was the Great Palace Master, and in the past, Mo Zhen. But the aura of this mysterious swordsman before him far exceeded that of the "Strongest Person" at the Peak of Yang God!

He was very certain.

Even if the person before him was just a wisp of remaining thought, destroying him would be no more than a casual gesture.

At this moment, Chi Fu Dragon Lord regretted immensely.

Why did he pursue the cause and effect of this Intent?

Like the allegorical story of the one who admired dragons, only to be scared upon actually seeing one.

Upon truly seeing the master of the Path of Destruction, he felt no joy at all.

"..."

However, something unexpected happened.

No sword light ignited in the River of Destiny, and the young man in black silently moving forward showed no intention of making a move.

"You should know, divination cannot reveal everything."

The man in black said lightly, "Go back, remember this lesson well."

He waved his sleeve.

Instantly, the frozen River of Destiny returned to its original state.

The great waves began surging once more.

Chi Fu Dragon Lord fell backward, as if swallowed by the boundless sea waves.

With a thud.

He fell heavily onto the grand hall, surrounded by overturned lamps and porcelain... The Great Array previously set up had long collapsed, and the Array Talismans were shattered all over the place. A figure stumbled quickly over, supporting Chi Fu Dragon Lord, with a voice full of urgency and concern.

"Master!"

"Master!!"

After a long while.

Chi Fu Dragon Lord finally regained his senses.

The world before him was still composed of countless overlapping shadows.

He stared blankly as the deep blue Taoist robe figure supporting him gradually unified, and after taking tens of breaths, he recognized it as his good disciple, "Venerable Chi Lu."

"Cough... cough..."

As soon as he opened his mouth,

a strong taste of blood surged from his chest cavity.

It was then that the Chi Fu Dragon Lord realized that his Divine Thought had been exhausted. The divination he just performed was no different from the legendary "Spirit wandering." However, while others gained enlightenment from spirit wandering, considering it a creation, he had seen figures he shouldn’t have seen, expending a vast amount of his mental energy in vain.

"Master, are you okay?"

Venerable Chi Lu was frightened pale.

Chi Fu Dragon Lord had initiated a divination formation in his grand hall and encountered an unexpected event. If the Great Palace Master expressed his rage, the entire Lushui Cave Heaven might be reduced to dust.

"I... I’m fine..."

The Chi Fu Dragon Lord spoke with difficulty, forcing himself to sit up.

Despite saying this,

the Chi Fu Dragon Lord was not well.

His Divine Sea was already empty. The cost of this divination was extremely severe, and the injuries previously sustained at Jinli Mountain showed signs of recurrence.

"Divination should not be fully calculated..."

He recalled the final meeting, the words spoken by the young man in black who wielded a sword, and felt a wave of fear.

Having performed divination for so many years, he naturally understood this principle.

Divination should not be fully calculated, fearing the capriciousness of the Heavenly Dao.

The mysterious sword-wielding figure disdained taking action personally. By merely unfreezing the River of Destiny, he almost got swept to death by the "great tides." This lesson, rather than being granted by the mysterious sword-bearer, seemed more like a gift from the Heavenly Dao.

"Master."

Venerable Chi Lu breathed a sigh of relief, saying with a complicated expression, "I have waited outside the hall for you for a long time. It’s good that you’re okay. After all, it was just a divination, why take it so seriously..."

The Chi Fu Dragon Lord didn’t want to say more, just waved his hand.

"How long has it been since the array formation?"

Suddenly, he frowned.

The array formation divination seemed extremely fast, but he was oblivious to what happened outside.

Often, a blink could mean several days or even dozens of days.

"Three days."

Upon hearing the reply from Venerable Chi Lu,

the Chi Fu Dragon Lord slightly breathed a sigh of relief.

Three days...

That’s not too long; three days isn’t considered lengthy.

"How are things outside?"

The Chi Fu Dragon Lord rubbed his temple and asked casually.

"Not so good."

Unexpectedly, Venerable Chi Lu responded with a grim expression, "The Lord of the Throne is already quelling the rebellion. The battle at Broken Buddha Cliff is extremely intense and fiercely contested."

"???"

Hearing this, the Chi Fu Dragon Lord was momentarily stunned.

Wait a minute.

What is this situation now?

How did everything erupt into battle when he was conducting the divination for three days!

"Wait, wait..."

The Chi Fu Dragon Lord, full of confusion, frowned and asked, "You just said Jiang Huang was quelling a rebellion, what rebellion, who is the rebel?"

"This..."

Venerable Chi Lu’s face was full of conflict.

"Speak directly!"

The Chi Fu Dragon Lord spoke coldly with a stern expression, issuing a command.

"Soon after you initiated the array formation..."

Venerable Chi Lu said with difficulty, "Lord Jiang Huang discovered the trace of ’Xuan Jin.’ Both sides broke out into a great battle near Broken Buddha Cliff. The battle has been unresolved until now. I intended to send a message to the Heavenly Phoenix Palace to request the Great Venerable’s intervention, but was directly blocked by the Lord of the Throne. The Lord of the Throne does not wish for anyone from above to intervene, expressing that a good fight should be fought, thus resulting in the current situation. Lord Jiang Huang, as the future leader of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace, and Venerable Xuan Jin, who is battling against Lord Jiang Huang, should only be ’rebels.’"

The Chi Fu Dragon Lord displayed an extremely diverse expression.

"You mean..."

"I just initiated the array formation divination..."

"And Xuan Jin appeared?"

When one is speechless to the extreme, they might burst out laughing.

At this moment, that was precisely the case for the Chi Fu Dragon Lord. Though his face turned black with anger, a laugh was squeezed from between his clenched teeth.

"Heh..."

"Heh heh..."

Through a significant divination.

He expended a great deal of Divine Soul Power and almost encountered an ancestor from a thousand years past...

In result, it was all for naught.

If only he hadn’t pursued the origin of that "Path of Destruction," he would have finished the divination, ending this farce much earlier.

"This is a long story."

Venerable Chi Lu gritted his teeth and said, "Master, you should head over to Broken Buddha Cliff and take a good look."
