"Your sword is good, here it is back to you!"
Ling Dao walked out of the Tianwu Sword Formation and approached the elder, handing him the long sword. The elder finally came to his senses, took the sword, and stared at Ling Dao in a daze. For thousands of years, the Tianwu Sword Formation had never been broken, and it was broken by a mere young man who hadn't even reached the Physical Body Realm?
Everyone present found it hard to accept. If a world-renowned expert had broken the Tianwu Sword Formation, it would have been reasonable. But looking at Ling Dao's weak appearance, it was hard to believe he could break the Tianwu Sword Formation.
"It must be that the Tianwu Sword Formation is broken, it must be! Otherwise, how could that kid break the Tianwu Sword Formation?"
"Exactly, it must be a problem with the Tianwu Sword Formation itself. The kid just got lucky. If you don't believe me, let me try!"
A group of young geniuses were eager to try. Before Ling Dao broke the formation, they all thought he would definitely fail. But after he truly broke the Tianwu Sword Formation, they believed there must be a problem with the formation. Ling Dao didn't bother to respond to these geniuses.
"Stop making noise. Reactivate the Tianwu Sword Formation, and I will test it myself!"
From a distance, an old man flew over, his hair and beard white, but his face was extremely rosy, without a single wrinkle, truly a crane-haired, child-faced elder. Breaking the Tianwu Sword Formation was no small matter, enough to alarm the true upper echelons of the Tianwu Sect.
"Pay your respects to the Grand Elder!"
All the elders and disciples present respectfully said. This old man was none other than the Grand Elder of the Tianwu Sect, Ye Hongxuan. The Grand Elder held a very high position in the Tianwu Sect, far surpassing other elders.
"Follow the order! Reactivate the Tianwu Sword Formation!"
The elder guarding the Tianwu Sword Formation naturally dared not disobey the Grand Elder's command. From start to finish, the Grand Elder did not ask who broke the formation or even look at Ling Dao. His attention was entirely on the Tianwu Sword Formation.
"Clang, Clang"
One by one, the ancient long swords emitted crisp sword sounds, and 729 swords all soared into the sky. Ling Dao hadn't even reached the Physical Body Realm, so the Tianwu Sword Formation wouldn't emit much power, but the Grand Elder was different.
At this moment, each ancient long sword emitted a surging killing aura, as if a pack of lions had awakened. The 729 ancient long swords simultaneously fell from the sky, like silver waterfalls descending.
The Grand Elder's white hair fluttered, and he emitted an extremely powerful aura. He flew into the air, swung his fists, and collided with the ancient long swords. Fierce waves of energy surged in all directions, dust rose, and the ground shook.
This scene was incomparable to when Ling Dao broke the formation. The Grand Elder's momentum was overwhelming, continuously colliding with the Tianwu Sword Formation. Ling Dao took just one look and knew that the Grand Elder would definitely fail and could not break the formation.
The Tianwu Sword Formation tested one's achievements in swordsmanship. The Grand Elder attempting to break the formation with his martial arts was simply a joke. Unless the Grand Elder's strength surpassed the founder of the Tianwu Sect, he could not break the Tianwu Sword Formation.
What surprised Ling Dao was that Ye Hongxuan was the Grand Elder of the Tianwu Sect. Ling Dao had met Ye Hongxuan more than once, as Ye Hongxuan had visited the Free and Easy Prince's mansion multiple times to consult on martial arts issues. What Ling Dao didn't know was that the Free and Easy Prince had once saved Ye Hongxuan's life.
"Boom"
A loud noise echoed in the field. The Grand Elder, who was in the sky, suddenly fell to the ground, creating a deep pit. The 729 ancient long swords emitted a shocking sharpness, and the Grand Elder's face turned red, and he coughed up blood. Not only did the Grand Elder fail to break the Tianwu Sword Formation, but he was also injured by it.
"The Tianwu Sword Formation has no problems at all?"
Everyone present saw the power the Tianwu Sword Formation had unleashed, and no one now doubted that there was a problem with the formation. Even the powerful Grand Elder of the Tianwu Sect had failed to break the Tianwu Sword Formation.
"For thousands of years, no one has been able to break the Tianwu Sword Formation, and it was broken by a mere young man?"
"How is that possible? I was waiting for him to fail and then find a way to kill him, but he really broke the Tianwu Sword Formation?"
Li WuLiang glared at Ling Dao with hatred. Ling Dao's successful breaking of the Tianwu Sword Formation would soon shock the entire Tianwu Sect. If Ling Dao joined the Tianwu Sect, he would definitely attract attention, making it much harder for Li WuLiang to deal with him.
"Who broke the Tianwu Sword Formation?"
The Grand Elder sensed that the Tianwu Sword Formation had been broken and rushed over as quickly as possible. His first action was to check the Tianwu Sword Formation and confirm that there were no problems. Naturally, he wanted to know who had broken the formation.
"Grand Elder, it was that young man!"
The elder guarding the Tianwu Sword Formation pointed at Ling Dao, and Ye Hongxuan finally looked at him. The moment he saw Ling Dao, Ye Hongxuan's eyes almost popped out. He had visited the Free and Easy Prince's mansion more than once and naturally recognized the Free and Easy Prince's son, Ling Dao.
"It's you!"
Ye Hongxuan knew a lot about Ling Dao. No matter who broke the Tianwu Sword Formation, none of them could match the shock he felt when Ling Dao broke it. His own failure and Ling Dao's success made him feel extremely embarrassed.
"This kid is not worth cultivating!"
The Free and Easy Prince was a genius, and Ye Hongxuan admitted it, but unfortunately, he had a weak son. Ling Dao had been extremely frail since childhood and still hadn't resolved it. If Ling Dao joined the Tianwu Sect, it would be an insult to the Tianwu Sect. Even if given a hundred years, Ling Dao would probably not reach the True Qi Realm.
"Pay your respects to the senior!"
Ling Dao and Ye Hongxuan had only met, and they were not familiar. Ye Hongxuan was indeed very respectful to the Free and Easy Prince, but Ling Dao was not the Free and Easy Prince. Ling Dao naturally didn't know what Ye Hongxuan was thinking.
"Go about your business, and be extremely cautious when recruiting disciples. Don't recruit just anyone into the Tianwu Sect!"
This statement clearly had a hidden meaning. Ling Dao's eyes narrowed, realizing that Ye Hongxuan's attitude towards him was not friendly and even somewhat hostile. But it was understandable; the Grand Elder was injured while breaking the formation, and Ling Dao succeeded, naturally making the Grand Elder unhappy.
"Follow me!"
The Grand Elder glanced at Ling Dao and then stepped forward. Ling Dao nodded and followed Ye Hongxuan. However, Ye Hongxuan did not head towards the inner part of the Tianwu Sect but towards the entrance.
"What does this Grand Elder want to do?"
Ling Dao had a bad feeling, but it was not yet confirmed. He hoped it wouldn't be as he imagined.
