Nine Realms Sword Emperor
Chapter 610 - 611 Nine Domains Sword Technique

This voice was extremely clear, yet it possessed a steadiness that could soothe the listener.

"Senior Brother?"

The moment Chu Fengmian heard this voice, his expression became incredibly excited.

It was indeed the voice of his Senior Brother, Jian Ling. Although separated by tens of thousands of years, Chu Fengmian still felt an immense familiarity.

Chu Fengmian’s numerous fellow disciples, in the sect where the Sword Dao Master was revered and often busy with numerous duties, many matters were handled by Jian Ling.

Especially many of the younger disciples were taken care of by Jian Ling.

Chu Fengmian had grown up on Heavenly Extinction Peak since childhood. Among countless senior brothers and sisters, aside from Fourth Senior Sister, Jian Ling had taken care of him the most.

That’s why, even after a lapse of ten thousand years, Chu Fengmian instantly recognized Jian Ling’s voice.

"Senior Brother, you’re not dead?"

Chu Fengmian shouted loudly toward the statue, but the statue did not respond to Chu Fengmian and continued to speak.

"I never thought anyone would be able to decipher this Ultimate Sword Seal, but since you can hear this message, it means you’re capable of deciphering it."

From inside the statue, Jian Ling’s voice rang out again, though this time the voice seemed mechanical.

Chu Fengmian then realized.

This voice was indeed Jian Ling’s, but it was left by Jian Ling ten thousand years ago. The current Jian Ling had long since perished, leaving only this voice behind.

"I, Jian Ling, a disciple of the Sword Dao Master, was besieged by the seven great sects. My master perished at the hands of the seven great sects, and all my countless junior brothers and sisters fell."

"I, Jian Ling, unwilling for my master’s legacy to vanish, established Beimang Academy to continue the tradition. However, in the presence of the seven great sects, I could only hide my identity."

"If you are able to unlock this Ultimate Sword Seal, it means you are destined by fate. I will leave this legacy to you, hoping that after you cultivate it, you will ascend to the seven great sects and avenge our master!"

With that, Jian Ling’s voice dissipated.

After a long while, Chu Fengmian’s expression slowly eased.

Hearing Jian Ling’s voice again brought Chu Fengmian immense joy, yet Jian Ling’s words made Chu Fengmian’s heart heavy again.

He had thought that some of his numerous senior brothers and sisters were still alive.

But now, according to Jian Ling’s words, it seemed all his senior brothers and sisters had perished at the hands of the seven great sects.

The only one left was him, who established Beimang Academy, ensuring the legacy was carried on.

Right in front of Chu Fengmian was such an ancient book, on which was written only "Sword Dao."

Chu Fengmian knew this represented the life’s work of the Sword Dao Master, a treasure coveted by the seven great sects, now placed before him.

"Ten thousand years later, Senior Brother probably wouldn’t have thought that I would be the one to survive."

Chu Fengmian stared at the ancient book before him, his eyes filled with complexity.

This very ancient book was what lead to the ruin of Chu Fengmian’s family, yet even in demise, the Sword Dao Master was unwilling to relinquish it.

In his heart, this ancient book was more important than life itself.

"The vengeance of my master, I will avenge it. The foundation left by Senior Brother, I will also let it continue forever."

Chu Fengmian knelt before the statue of Jian Ling, giving three respectful bows.

It was a gesture of gratitude toward Jian Ling for preserving the legacy of the Sword Dao Master and also a repayment for past kindness.

Chu Fengmian seized the ancient book, which contained countless Sword Intents that suddenly surged into his mind.

"What is this?"

In Chu Fengmian’s mind, numerous images danced, each figure wielding myriad exquisite swordsmanship.

These were the accumulations of a former Sword Dao Master who had traveled across the Nine Domains, experiencing countless sword techniques.

On Chu Fengmian’s body, numerous Sword Intents burst forth, completely integrating these techniques into the Nine Domains Sword Technique.

The sword techniques in this Sword Dao Ancient Book were tenfold, a hundredfold more numerous than those Chu Fengmian had previously understood.

It virtually documented all the sword techniques of the Nine Domains and even those of the Heavenly Demon and various demonic beasts, forming a compendium of countless sword techniques worldwide.

No wonder the seven great sects had once spared no expense to acquire this Sword Dao Ancient Book — it was a priceless treasure for any Sword Cultivator.

Chu Fengmian sat on the ground, slowly comprehending its contents.

His swordsmanship grew increasingly strong, and before him, the characters for "Nine Domains" formed.

Behind these characters was an ocean condensed from Sword Intent; Chu Fengmian’s vast Sword Intent was now like a boundless sea.

One day, two days, three days.

In this mysterious space, Chu Fengmian sat, gradually deciphering the myriad sword techniques recorded in these ancient books.

He absorbed the essence of these techniques, incorporating them all into his Nine Domains Sword Technique.

His Nine Domains Sword Technique had now reached a preliminary stage of mastery, and in terms of power alone, it had surpassed even celestial-level martial arts.

Techniques like the Slaughter Sword Technique and the Plentiful Sword Technique meant nothing in comparison, for Chu Fengmian had integrated their most essential parts into his Nine Domains Sword Technique.

He had thus created a completely unique and profound sword technique.

Within this Nine Domains Sword Technique, one could even perceive the Asura’s sword technique, the Dragon Clan’s sword technique, and countless alien techniques, all blending together.

Yet, this was still far from complete.

Another three days passed.

Chu Fengmian sat on the ground, constantly exploring the sword techniques within the ancient book, each taking little time for him to comprehend.

But the ancient book contained too many techniques — thousands, tens of thousands, even many that had long been lost, all came within his understanding.

Chu Fengmian’s Nine Domains Sword Technique gradually coalesced into a greater whole, evolving step by step towards perfection.

"Boom!"

After a total of seven days, a surging Sword Intent burst forth from Chu Fengmian’s body.

The emergence of this overwhelming Sword Intent signified that Chu Fengmian’s swordsmanship had reached a new stage.

His Nine Domains Sword Technique was finally fully realized.

In Chu Fengmian’s every movement was now embedded the true essence of the Sword Dao.

Although the Nine Domains Sword Technique originally required extensive time to perfect due to the innumerable techniques from the Hall of Saints, he had now fully refined it.
