Divine King of Honour
Chapter 817 - 817 Sword King Pavilion

A storm had just settled.

In the end, Xu Nian didn't contest with Han Xiaoxiao for the championship and chose to concede directly.

Originally, there were three slots to enter the Sword King Pavilion, but now only two had advanced.

Thus, everyone was taken directly to the front of the Sword King Pavilion.

Xu Nian looked at the towering Sword King Pavilion in front of him, a hint of surprise on his face.

Just this pavilion alone exuded an overwhelming Sword Qi.

It was really hard to imagine how powerful the legacy left by Bai Xi Sword Immortal was in the past.

"This is the sacred land of our Lingxi Sect, the Sword King Pavilion. As you all know, Bai Xi Sword Immortal once cultivated here and eventually left his Sword Dao legacy. This is the place where he ascended," Yun Qingyang introduced everyone.

All around, faces showed reverence as they looked at the majestic Sword Pavilion.

Ascension?

Although there were many Ascenders in the cultivation world,

Ascenders were very rare on the remote Tianlan Continent, perhaps appearing only once in a millennium.

So everyone naturally held a heart of reverence for Ascenders.

Xu Nian also felt respectful.

After all, the grand wish of the Sword Immortal that everyone could become a Sword Immortal was enough to earn his admiration.

"Xiaoxiao, Xu Nian, since both of you won this Holy Scripture competition, you now have the qualification to enter the Sword King Pavilion. However, it's not easy to enter the Sword King Pavilion. You must have noticed that the pavilion is shrouded in a powerful Sword Qi. Anyone who approaches will be blocked by this Sword Qi. Only those with a firm Sword Heart can enter. Whether you can enter the pavilion depends on your own ability," Yun Qingyang said to Xu Nian and Han Xiaoxiao.

Everyone around looked at the two.

Xu Nian and Han Xiaoxiao stared solemnly at the door of the Sword King Pavilion.

The door was open, yet it gave off a strong resistance.

"You go first!" Xu Nian said to Han Xiaoxiao.

Han Xiaoxiao nodded.

Then she walked towards the door of the Sword King Pavilion.

But as soon as she took a step forward,

Han Xiaoxiao felt a terrifying gust of wind rush towards her.

Her dress fluttered upwards.

Han Xiaoxiao first furrowed her delicate brows, and then her eyes became serious.

Then a breeze rose swiftly beneath her feet,

blowing the fierce wind to both sides.

Everyone saw Han Xiaoxiao stride towards the door of the Sword King Pavilion.

But she only took ten steps before appearing to be in a dire situation.

For she saw hundreds of Sword Qi rushing towards her.

The imposing power emanating from the Sword Qi was terrifying.

Han Xiaoxiao immediately mobilized her True Essence and gripped her Spirit Sword.

Constantly fending off the incoming Sword Qi.

For a full 15 minutes, Han Xiaoxiao was resisting the Sword Qi.

So much so that her True Essence within was greatly consumed.

But while she resisted, she also kept advancing.

Finally, when her True Essence ran out, she broke through the door of the Sword King Pavilion.

Yun Qingyang and others smiled as they saw Han Xiaoxiao enter the Sword King Pavilion.

Many geniuses in their sect had been obstructed by the Sword Qi of the Sword King Pavilion.

Those who could enter were extremely rare over millennia.

It seemed Han Xiaoxiao's Sword Dao talent was quite good.

So she received the acknowledgment of the founder.

Everyone around was full of praise.

Han Xiaoxiao's earlier battle with Yuwen Gong had astonished everyone.

So no one was surprised when she broke into the Sword King Pavilion.

"Brother Xu Nian, it's your turn!" Yun Qingyang said with a smile to Xu Nian.

Everyone began to discuss.

"Hey, do you think Xu Nian can enter the Sword King Pavilion?"

"Hard to say. Although his Swordsmanship is excellent and his strength is decent, the test of the Sword King Pavilion is all about the Sword Heart. If the Sword Heart is not firm, the Sword Qi will obstruct him."

"I don't think he can make it. Although his strength is good, there's something odd about him. He might be repelled by the Sword King Pavilion."

...

People around discussed one after another.

Most did not have high hopes for Xu Nian.

Only a few present had full confidence in him.

Xu Nian listened to the discussions around him.

After a slight smile, he walked towards the door of the Sword King Pavilion.

Everyone held their breath.

They wanted to see what kind of Sword Qi would block Xu Nian.

But as Xu Nian took a step forward,

nothing happened!

"Huh? What's going on? Why is there no resistance?"

Everyone was shocked.

Even Yun Qingyang, the Lingxi Sect Master, showed surprise.

Xu Nian was also somewhat surprised.

He had been prepared to defend himself.

But now it seemed he had overthought it.

So he lifted his foot and walked towards the door of the Sword King Pavilion.

As Xu Nian advanced, eyes followed him.

Yet the inside of the Sword King Pavilion remained calm.

"What's going on? Why isn't the Sword King Pavilion reacting?"

Someone asked in confusion.

Yun Qingyang and others had no explanation.

They could only think Xu Nian's Sword Heart was too firm.

Thus, Xu Nian effortlessly walked into the Sword King Pavilion.

Nothing happened at all.

Everyone outside was astonished.

Even an elder of the Lingxi Sect who didn't believe it tried it himself,

and was immediately pushed back by a strong Sword Qi.

"This kid is really strange. He didn't even cause a reaction from the Sword King Pavilion."

The Second Elder couldn't help but say.

He was still somewhat displeased about Xu Nian defeating his disciple Wong Tian.

"This boy comes from an extraordinary background. We can't see through him. It's best not to provoke him in the future, or the consequences could be unpredictable," Yun Qingyang said as he watched Xu Nian's back.

The Great Elder remained indifferent,

but also nodded in agreement.

Not only his cultivation but his character,

Xu Nian indeed gave him an unfathomable feeling.

It was the first time he couldn't see through a young person.

Xu Nian walking into the Sword King Pavilion greatly surprised Han Xiaoxiao as well.

She had spent so much time entering the hall and was adjusting herself.

She didn't expect Xu Nian to come in so quickly.

Xu Nian did not look at Han Xiaoxiao but was drawn to the statue in front of him.

The statue was six meters high, that of a Sword Immortal.

His hands overlapped, resting on a sword hilt.

The sword's tip touched the ground, supporting the statue.

The entire sculpture exuded an emperor-like majesty just from its posture.

If he guessed right, the statue should be Bai Xi Sword Immortal.

But in his impression, Bai Xi Sword Immortal should have been ethereal and otherworldly, shouldn't he?

How could he appear here in such an emperor-like manner?

"This statue is of Bai Xi Sword Immortal in his youth. The Sword Dao he practiced then was the Overlord Sword Dao. It was only as he aged that he gradually subdued this domineering aura and became ethereal," as if seeing Xu Nian's confusion, Han Xiaoxiao explained.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian nodded in realization.
