Chapter 733: Chapter 732: The Whole World Trembles

Let’s rewind time a little.

As mentioned before,

inside the Sword Tomb, there are three renowned Sword Ponds known throughout the world:

Ascending Tower, Xuanzhong, and Hundred Refinements.

After stepping into the Life Palace Realm, disciples of the Sword Tomb may choose to enter a Sword Pond and search for the sword best suited to them.

Similarly, a cultivator who has passed all nine challenges also gains this privilege.

This is why many people come to the Sword Tomb to take on the nine challenges.

In reality, after the Sword Tomb went into seclusion in East Desolate, very few cultivators have come to take on the nine challenges.

That is because hardly anyone can find the location of the Sword Tomb anymore.

But those ancient inheritances still know more or less the whereabouts of the Sword Tomb.

As a neighbor to the Northern Land of East Desolate, coming from the Beiming Sea Domain, is the Ziwei Sacred Land.

This extraordinarily ancient Great Emperor Immortal Sect has stood in the Beiming Sea Domain for countless eons and has always been the overlord of the Beiming Sea Domain.

Ziwei Sacred Land and the Sword Tomb have also formed a friendship.

Today, just so happens that the Heavenly Mansion Saint and Tiantong Holy Daughter from Ziwei Sacred Land have come to the three Sword Ponds of the Sword Tomb to select famous swords.

Accompanying them is Xu Zhonglou, a well-known Sword Dao genius within the Sword Tomb.

Xu Zhonglou is the personal disciple of this generation’s Sect Leader. He also has a senior brother and a senior sister, both of whom are among the mightiest in the Sword Tomb.

Therefore, Xu Zhonglou can be quite lazy, not particularly fond of practicing swordplay every day; he prefers to lie down and bask in the sun.

In Xu Zhonglou’s words, "If something can be done without moving, don’t move. Lying in the sun is the most comfortable thing to do."

Especially in the harsh lands of the Northern East Desolate.

However, this time, his Master had ordered him to accompany friends who had come from far away in the Beiming Sea Domain to visit the three great Sword Ponds. He only needed to walk through them without doing anything in particular.

Taking the opportunity to gain some benefits from his Sect Leader Master, Xu Zhonglou pinched his nose and agreed to accompany them on their trip.

Unexpectedly, these two from Ziwei Sacred Land turned out to be quite to his liking.

Especially the Tiantong Holy Daughter, whose peculiar title he didn’t quite understand, yet he greatly admired her.

Because she, like him, was lazy and reluctant to exert any effort.

Before even reaching the first Sword Pond, she clamored about casually picking any sword to complete the task and return.

That made Xu Zhonglou give her a thumbs up.

Awesome, little sister! He had heard that the Ziwei Sacred Land, compared to the Sword Tomb, was a place where the rules were strict and unyielding. This girl dared to do this; she must be quite a character.

As for that guy called the Heavenly Mansion Saint, he made a wry smile and suggested that they visit the Ascending Tower Sword Pond first.

The Ascending Tower Sword Pond, among the three great Sword Ponds, is more moderate, but it has the highest success rate for those who come to find a suitable sword.

Xu Zhonglou figured this would let him complete the task sooner, so he led the two straight to the Ascending Tower Sword Pond.

Who would have thought that these two useless fellows would fail even at the Ascending Tower Sword Pond, which had the highest success rate?

Xu Zhonglou patiently took them deeper into the Ascending Tower Sword Pond, thinking that perhaps because these two had exceptional talents, ordinary famous swords would not choose them as their masters.

When they reached the deeper parts of the Ascending Tower Sword Pond, Xu Zhonglou let them comprehend on their own.

The Heavenly Mansion Saint did as instructed.

But the Tiantong Holy Daughter showed impatience, simply sitting down on the ground and speaking to the famous sword White Sparrow before her, which came from Ancient Times, "Sword brother, how about you fly up by yourself, so I can get this over with and go back?"

The famous sword known as White Sparrow, however, completely ignored the Tiantong Holy Daughter.

Xu Zhonglou couldn’t help but laugh when he saw this scene but said nothing.

It was the Heavenly Mansion Saint who opened his eyes and looked towards the Tiantong Holy Daughter, saying with a wry smile, "Junior Sister, this approach won’t work. In these three great Sword Ponds, one must show an innocent heart; otherwise, these famous swords won’t recognize you as their master."

The Tiantong Holy Daughter sat on the ground, propped her cheeks with her hands, then vigorously rubbed her slightly chubby cheeks, and said morosely, "How annoying, if I had known, I would not have come here!"

Xu Zhonglou, not far away, watched this scene, with a straw stem he had procured from who knows where in his mouth, speaking indistinctly, "Wherever you stand, if it’s meant to be, the sword will fly to you. As for this innocent heart, it’s just talk; who knows what an innocent heart is."

"Fine then, it’s not my problem if these swords don’t fly over." Finally, a smile appeared on the Tiantong Holy Daughter’s face.

Seeing this, the Heavenly Mansion Saint could only silently shake his head.

This Junior Sister was good in every aspect but simply too lazy, unwilling to do anything.

And yet her cultivation level kept soaring up annoyingly fast.

Poor him, still having to diligently cultivate all the time.

He was envious, not resentful of his Junior Sister, just genuinely feeling that this was damn unfair.

But then again, this world has never been truly fair.

With this in mind, the Heavenly Mansion Saint focused his mind and devoted his gaze to the famous sword in front of him, known as the Star Fighting Divine Sword.

"Rise!"

The Heavenly Mansion Saint silently executed a Magic Technique, attempting to control it.

"You’re just wasting your effort; it doesn’t work that way," Xu Zhonglou said leisurely.

"Does Brother Xu perhaps have some secret technique?" asked the Heavenly Mansion Saint, sparing no pride in his inquiry.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhonglou grinned and said, "Actually... it’s all about the face. If you were as handsome as me, it would be quite easy to have ninety percent of the famous swords in the Ascending Tower Sword Pond recognize you as their master."

When the Heavenly Mansion Saint heard the beginning part, he couldn’t help but scowl. However, upon hearing the rest, he asked in astonishment, "Brother Xu, you had ninety percent of the famous swords in the Ascending Tower Sword Pond recognize you as their master before?"
