Remould the Glory of Sword Art

"I’ll take it as a good omen."

Yuan Huo smiled.

Though he refused to lend blood, he ensured that social etiquette was followed—he came to the banquet specifically prepared with numerous valuable materials...

This way.

It counts as a proper gesture.

"This is the ’Heavenly Gang Divine Sand’ I refined. And this is the ’Meteorite Iron’ refined by my junior brother, Huo Gu."

On the other side.

Venerable Qing Ming flipped her hand to retrieve a storage bag.

Throughout the entire evening banquet, she had been refining materials.

At her level, rejecting the Third Young Master was actually not a big deal.

But after rejecting, to maintain a friendly relationship... some price needed to be paid.

"Thank you, Venerable Qing Ming."

The Netherworld Third Young Master unreservedly accepted these two important materials.

He bowed and politely said, "Thank you both again... For the next few days, stay and rest in Giant Martial City; I will personally send the Great Saint Mountain’s invitation to your mansion."

Yuan Huo and Qing Ming returned the courtesy.

After everyone departed.

The Netherworld Third Young Master immediately restrained his smile, expressionlessly leaving the third floor and heading directly to the fourth floor.

That tall shadow had been waiting for a long time.

The Nether Sea stood on the top floor shrouded in talismans, hands behind his back, overlooking the nightscape of Giant Martial City.

"Father."

The Netherworld Third respectfully said, "The demon blood you requested is almost complete... Just missing the bloodlines of dragon and phoenix. The phoenix blood shouldn’t be a problem; that Lu will likely give a reply in the next day or two."

"Hmm."

The Nether Sea, hands behind his back, calmly replied.

His gaze fell at the night horizon, at the young figure seated in the wheelchair.

A talisman formation covered the entire Xuanchen Pavilion.

He had seen everything that happened earlier.

That young Venerable from Heavenly Phoenix Palace named Lu, whose aura was only at the Yin God Realm... Yet it made him uneasy.

...

...

"Move faster."

Xie Xuanyi sat in the wheelchair, not looking back.

Expressionless, he transmitted: "On the fourth floor of Xuanchen Pavilion... a Yang God is watching us."

"What?!"

Ao Ying was shocked to the core but dared not turn back, quickly speeding her pace.

Following Xie Xuanyi’s instructions, she twisted and turned.

Only after turning into a dim alley.

Xie Xuanyi finally said, "That’s enough."

Ao Ying let out a deep breath.

She leaned against the stone wall, wiped her forehead sweat, and nervously asked, "Didn’t you say... there’s only Yin Gods in this city?"

"Logically, my Divine Thought sensing shouldn’t be wrong."

Xie Xuanyi frowned slightly: "But indeed, on the fourth floor of Xuanchen Pavilion... there’s a mysterious strong person."

Does the opponent possess a special teleportation divine skill?

Similar to the Star Gate of Heavenly Phoenix Palace?

Great Ape Mountain’s inheritance is related to Earth Abyss... Maybe this mysterious strong person can freely enter and exit the Three Great Domains through special formations?

This point was not mentioned in the intelligence given by Cui Zhen.

If a matter is unclear, better leave it for later.

Xie Xuanyi reviewed the entire process.

His prior Divine Thought was blocked outside the formation on the fourth floor.

Being watched now...

Is it because of this?

"Is that guy the Nether Sea Venerable?"

Ao Ying suddenly asked in a raspy voice.

Her first thought was the Netherworld Third Young Master’s father.

"The Nether Sea..."

Xie Xuanyi chuckled self-deprecatingly: "If it really is the Nether Sea, then that might count as good news."

Cui Zhen is trying every way to get into the Great Saint Mountain.

For nothing other than seeing Nether Sea in person and taking his life...

Now that Nether Sea takes the initiative to leave Great Saint Mountain, Xie Xuanyi would naturally welcome it.

But the sensing from his Heart Lake made him feel it wasn’t that simple.

"Nether Sea has been in closed doors for years."

Xie Xuanyi shook his head: "A trifling matter like Giant Martial City isn’t enough to make him appear?"

Even when his two sons were killed back then, Nether Sea didn’t leave his mansion.

"However, I probably haven’t been exposed yet."

Xie Xuanyi calmed down and started pondering.

If his identity had been discovered...

Then Giant Martial City wouldn’t be as peaceful now.

The entire Yang God Great Cultivators of Great Ape Mountain would have arrived in this Second Realm!

The unease in his Heart Lake had dissipated.

This indicated the mysterious strong person on the fourth floor of Xuanchen Pavilion had withdrawn their Divine Thought.

The opponent must have just been suspicious.

Nothing more.

"My previous Divine Thought did not touch the formation; even if Nether Sea himself were present, he couldn’t directly determine my identity without contact."

Xie Xuanyi silently deduced: "So... this guy, although surpassing the Yin God Realm, is far from reaching my level."

Ming San is collecting demon blood.

This demon blood is very likely related to that "mysterious strong figure."

Xie Xuanyi’s heart shuddered and a guess formed.

"Could it be... the Shadow that escaped from the [Ruins] back then?"

...

...

Northern Giant Martial City.

Unlike the bustling central city, it’s very quiet here, and the scenery is elegant.

Expansive courtyards are nestled here, under the talisman formation, with abundant primordial energy and pleasant climate.

This is the residence of the nobles on Great Ape Mountain.

The Netherworld Third Young Master deliberately left a few courtyards to entertain distinguished guests.

Yuan Huo, Qing Ming... are amongst this level.

"Phew... it’s finally over."

Venerable Yuan Huo returned to the courtyard.

He casually found a spot under the shade of a tree, exhaled a deep breath, and showed signs of fatigue.

Dealing with Ming San is not an easy task.

The relationship between Great Ape Mountain and Heavenly Phoenix Palace is quite delicate.

Being a disciple of Chi Fu Dragon Lord, every word and action of his represents the face of Heavenly Phoenix Palace, neither showing weakness nor being overly aggressive.

Venerable Yuan Huo doesn’t like such matters, but...

Currently, Heavenly Phoenix Palace indeed has many troubles.

Just a few days ago.

The Master sent a message intending to retreat for secluded cultivation.

The disciples don’t know what happened...

Soon after, several Pocket Worlds originally under the banner of Red Fish Daoist Palace changed hands, taken over by "Venerable Heavenly Phoenix."

Once this order was issued.

The disciples vaguely guessed that the Master probably violated the laws of Heavenly Phoenix Palace.

However...

What kind of person is Chi Fu Dragon Lord?

How could his Pocket Worlds be taken over by Venerable Heavenly Phoenix?

Now this turmoil hasn’t subsided, instead, it is getting more intense...

Because the Venerable Heavenly Phoenix who gained such a great advantage for no apparent reason, has yet to show up.

It is said that Venerable Heavenly Phoenix will attend the Great Ape Mountain’s birthday banquet.

"I don’t know what mistake the Master made that caused the Great Palace Master to be so angry."

Venerable Yuan Huo sighed softly.

He refused Ming San not out of stinginess.

But because...

He truly reached the threshold to "break through to the Yang God."

Ask Heart, Asking the Dao, two Great Tribulations!

Venerable Yuan Huo needs to concentrate his energy fully and focus on Enlightenment.

He originally wanted to stay in secluded cultivation.

But with this unexpected change, Chi Fu cannot leave Heavenly Phoenix Palace.

Xuan Jin has been missing for a long time.

Venerable Yuan Huo, as the only remaining "face" in the Red Flame Dojo, for the greater good and to preserve his sect’s reputation, must attend this birthday banquet.

"Knock. Knock. Knock."

Just when Venerable Yuan Huo was about to settle down for cultivation.

Suddenly, there was a knocking sound outside the courtyard.

"Who is it?"

Venerable Yuan Huo frowned slightly.

Without further thought.

He instinctively stood up and flicked his sleeves to open the door.

This courtyard... was arranged by Ming San.

He was a distinguished guest on Great Ape Mountain, currently the only ones who knew his "residence" should be Ming San, and Qing Ming.

In Venerable Yuan Huo’s view, someone knocking late at night, it’s very likely Ming San’s attendants have matters to report.

Chances are, they come to deliver an invitation.

Unexpectedly, after opening the door, what appeared in front of him were dozens of Burning Fire Talismans.

For a moment, the entire courtyard was engulfed by the light and fire of the talismans.

"???"

Venerable Yuan Huo was dumbfounded.

He looked towards the courtyard gate, only to see a shadow swiftly approaching.

The next moment.

Venerable Yuan Huo couldn’t even react.

Only heard a bang!

The uninvited guest swiftly reached Venerable Yuan Huo, delivering a clean and powerful punch.

This was a simple yet immensely potent strike.

A strong sense of unease surged in Venerable Yuan Huo’s Heart Lake.

He instinctively wanted to dodge.

But the opponent’s punch carried immense force, attracting him with endless suction from all directions, holding him tightly.

In the blur of the moment.

Yuan Huo seemed to see a giant ape, "roaring" directly at him!

"Boom!"

The punch struck directly at his face.

Venerable Yuan Huo immediately lost consciousness, his body falling straight backward, crashing onto the ground.
