Chapter 44: Within One Move, the World Was in an uproar
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After resolving the crisis of the dynasty, Lin Ran returned to Mount Sword to stabilize his Half-Saint cultivation.
Three days later.
A terrifying sword intent spread out from Lin Ran’s body, and sword marks were suddenly engraved on the surrounding stone walls.
Lin Ran slowly opened his eyes and said in a low voice, “Everyone below the Half-Saint Realm is just an ant to me. Now that my Sword Heart has been completely stabilized, sitting here brooding over cultivation won’t do me any good. It’s time for me to go into the secular world and take a look.”
With that, Lin Ran stood up and arrived at the peak of Mount Sword with a sway of his body.
!!
“Metal!”
As Lin Ran shouted, golden sword intent soared into the sky from all over Mount Sword.
Roar…
A huge white tiger formed by golden sword intent roared at the sky, looking like a majestic king.
“Wood!”
With another shout, countless green sword intent filled with Life quickly gathered, and a green dragon gradually condensed.
Roar…
The Azure Dragon roared at the white tiger in the distance with a hint of fear in its eyes.
“Earth!”
Lin Ran ignored the two divine beasts formed by sword intent in the sky. As soon as he finished speaking, a divine beast Kylin condensed from earthen sword intent slowly rose.
“Water!”
The divine beast, the Black Tortoise, floated up.
“Fire!”
The divine bird, Vermillion Bird, cried and flew into the sky.
The moment the divine beasts that represented the power of the five elements gathered in the sky, the sky above the entire dynasty changed drastically.
From the nobles to the peddlers, they stopped what they were doing and looked up at Mount Sword.
Many of the weak-willed people even bowed and said in awe, “Long live the Sword God!”
Among these people, only Emperor Sheng Yuan’s eyes widened in disbelief. Only she knew that Grandpa Sword God had already died. Now, the only one guarding Mount Sword was her imperial guard commander, Lin Ran.
Emperor Sheng Yuan muttered, “Is a Half-Saint so powerful? How did he become so powerful in just a few years?”
At this moment, Emperor Sheng Yuan was alone. If anyone else was around, they would definitely realize that he was no longer as decisive as when he was in the court. Instead, he was like a girl who was infatuated.
Lin Ran, who had summoned the power of the five elements to form divine beasts, was sweating profusely.
He wiped the sweat off his forehead and smiled bitterly. He just wanted to test his current cultivation level. On a whim, he thought of the five divine beasts that represented the power of the five elements in his previous life.
Therefore, he condensed the sword intent into the image of a divine beast according to his memory.
Unexpectedly, the moment the White Tiger Divine Beast condensed, a trace of the will of the world with metal attributes landed on the White Tiger Divine Beast.
As a Half-Saint, he had already seen through the will of heaven and earth. He naturally knew that this trace of will was not something a cultivator at the initial stage of the Saint Realm could resist.
At that moment, he even felt that the sword intent that filled the sky seemed to have escaped his control!
If not for the fact that he had already consolidated his Half-Saint cultivation, he would probably have completely messed up his sword heart. At that time, the sword intent that filled the sky would definitely go out of control and the surroundings of Mount Sword would definitely be turned into hell!
Looking at the five divine beasts roaring and confronting each other above his head, Lin Ran felt a headache coming on. Although he could barely suppress the Five Elements Divine Beasts with his own will, he could still feel the resistance of the Five Elements Divine Beasts against him. Moreover, this resistance was becoming stronger and stronger!
“What should I do?!”
Just as Lin Ran was in a terrible fix, a black and a white light suddenly spread out from his body.
Two rays of light flashed into the air and formed a Taiji pattern. It seemed to be devouring each other, but also seemed to be slowly rotating.
The power of Yin and Yang kept fusing, and a peaceful aura spread.
The surrounding Five Elements Divine Beasts immediately calmed down and looked up at the Taiji pattern. The ruthlessness in their eyes dissipated in the blink of an eye.
Lin Ran frowned and looked at the sky. Although he didn’t understand what was going on, the dangerous aura in the air had already dissipated. The trace of the will of heaven and earth returned to the world, and the majestic sword intent that formed the Five Elements Divine Beast returned to Lin Ran’s control.
Seeing this, Lin Ran had no time to think too much about it. With a wave of his hand, the Five Elements Divine Beasts dissipated with the sword intent. The Taiji pattern that was slowly rotating in the air also dimmed out and was absorbed into Lin Ran’s body.
“Phew…”
After the chaos was resolved, Lin Ran let out a long breath, but there was a hint of confusion in his eyes. “I didn’t expect the Exorcism Sword Energy to be summoned on its own and take the initiative to attack. Could it be that that trace of the will of the world is not righteous?”
When the sword intent went out of his control, Lin Ran did feel a ruthless aura. It was definitely not his own sword intent.
However, that feeling only lasted for a moment. Now that he thought about it, it was so short that it seemed like an illusion.
Lin Ran frowned and fell into deep thought. He did not know that the situation over Mount Sword had caused a huge commotion in the world.
In the imperial court.
The civil and military officials lined up neatly and congratulated the emperor in unison. “Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Ten Miles Sword God has advanced to another realm again. Our Heavenly Saint Dynasty will definitely be prosperous for generations to come!”
In the market.
Whether it was the rich merchants or the commoners, they were all discussing the Five Elements Divine Beasts on Mount Sword and the Yin-Yang Image that covered the sky.
Some people said that the Sword God was eliminating demons, while others said that the Sword God was intimidating the enemy.
In short, the Sword God had been in seclusion for decades. Even though he was still famous, his influence had reduced greatly in the passage of time.
Lin Ran’s act today caused an uproar across the dynasty and aroused the reverence of the people for the Ten Miles Sword God!
At this moment, Lin Ran, who was looked up to by thousands upon thousands, was sitting on the mountaintop and scratching his head.
If he wanted to figure out if that trace of the will of the world was evil or not, the only way was to summon the Five Elements Divine Beasts again and force that trace of the will to show up.
However, the feeling of losing control of the sword intent just now really frightened Lin Ran. Even though he had the Exorcism Sword Energy in his body, he could not guarantee that he could still control it this time.
In the end, Lin Ran shook his head and stood up. In any case, as long as he didn’t trigger that will of the world, he would be fine. Why should he worry? It wouldn’t be too late to study the will of the world when he entered the Saint Realm in the future!
After returning to his residence, Lin Ran washed up, changed into black clothes, and rode his sword towards the palace.
He had once promised to help the empress deal with those martial artists who had participated in the rebellion. Now that he was about to go down the mountain to do it, it was only right for him to go and bid farewell to her.
In the imperial court.
The empress was sitting on the dragon throne in a dragon robe. Although she looked solemn, there was a hint of anxiety in her eyes.
Others thought that the phenomenon was caused by the Sword God, but she clearly felt a trace of ruthlessness in the majestic sword intent just now!
The empress knew Lin Ran very well. It was impossible for him to have such a ruthless sword intent. She couldn’t wait to go to Mount Sword to investigate, but the ministers kept on saying that it was an auspicious sign from the heavens and a banquet should be held to celebrate it.
Seeing that the new minister was still talking non-stop, the empress was about to leave when she suddenly heard a eunuch outside the hall shout, “Your Majesty! The Ten Miles Sword God is here to see you!”
Before the eunuch could finish speaking, a black figure wrapped in endless sword intent had already appeared in the imperial court!
