Chapter 175: Stars and Moon in Radiant Union

What made Gu Xingjian feel even more horrified was—

From the might revealed by the clan chief, he detected the aura unique to the Star Wheel realm—and it had already reached the sixth layer!

Am I dreaming?

Gu Xingjian was completely dumbfounded.

He never imagined that the clan chief's first formal emergence from seclusion would bring him such an enormous surprise!

In just two months, not only had he broken through to the Small Accomplishment Sword Heart, his cultivation base had skyrocketed from the Origin Sea realm all the way to the sixth layer of the Star Wheel realm!

Such a pace of progress utterly overturned his understanding, shocking him to the core!

At the same time, Jiang Chen and Jiang Yan were both stunned.

They had thought that during this period their own progress had been divinely swift, their strength leaping ahead—surely they hadn't caught up to the clan chief, but at the very least the gap between them should have been shrinking, right?

But who could tell them why the gap between them and the clan chief was, instead, growing wider and wider?!

Jiang Chen and Jiang Yan exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

They'd never heard of anyone whose cultivation grew faster the higher their realm!

Elsewhere.

Feeling the pressure suppressing the aura he was emitting, Pei Qingfeng's expression shifted slightly.

His gaze left Gu Xingjian and turned toward the Jiang clan chief Jiang Daoxuan, whom he had been ignoring all along!

"It seems my earlier feeling wasn't wrong—you really aren't simple. To have comprehended the Small Accomplishment Sword Heart at such an age, you truly are a heaven-gifted prodigy. But the more so, the less I can afford to let you live!"

The moment his words fell, Pei Qingfeng's five fingers loosely closed, and in an instant he summoned a refined bronze-yellow treasured sword!

This sword is named Dahe, a divine weapon of the highest Earth grade, and also the inherited supreme treasure of the Dahe Sword Palace—only successive Palace Masters may wield it!

Pei Qingfeng held the sword in one hand, looking coldly at Jiang Daoxuan: "To die beneath this sword could be counted as three lifetimes of fortune for you!"

Hearing this, Jiang Daoxuan had no interest in responding at all. He merely turned his head toward Gu Xingjian and said with a light smile: "What do you think of this sword?"

Gu Xingjian was taken aback.

Faced with the clan chief's sudden question, he was clearly a bit at a loss, but still instinctively replied: "The Dahe Sword is a treasured blade ranked nineteenth on the Famous Swords List of Tiandou Prefecture—extraordinary beyond compare, a supreme treasure that countless sword cultivators yearn for yet cannot obtain..."

Jiang Daoxuan suddenly laughed: "Then how about I take it and give it to you?"
