The overwhelming sword intent persisted for several hours before finally dissipating. In the following days, rumors spread wildly, but one thing was certain—the immense pressure had come from a sword intent. As a result, more and more sword cultivators gathered atHeavenly Mending Platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu An’s days, however, were peaceful. He frequently traveled between the threeMedicine Valleys, occasionally visitedXuantian Cave Dwellingat night, and spent the rest of his time simply enjoying life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, nearly half a year had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu An turned sixty-two years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, news of theSword Sovereign of the Righteous Pathslaying the demonic leader of theNightshade Secthad finally spread throughout the cultivation world. Every time Gu An ventured into the Outer Sect, he would overhear discussions about it. TheSword Sovereignhad already gained a reputation as the greatest sword cultivator in theTaicang Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some even claimed he was the number one swordsman in the world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That noon, Gu An stood at the edge ofHeavenly Mending Platform, gazing at the towering hundred-foot stone statue ahead, feeling quite content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The statue was a divine monument of theSword Sovereign of the Righteous Path, depicting Gu An in hisNine Extremes Yin-Yang Bodystance. His entire form radiated sculpted demonic energy, exuding an awe-inspiring presence. One hand pointed diagonally, while the other gripped a sword—a domineering posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to their words of admiration, Gu An felt even more pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who wouldn’t want their name to be known across the world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu An certainly did, but he had always kept a low profile to conceal hislifespan-stealingability. However, being able to dominate the world under another identity satisfied his vanity just as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a voice broke the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“TheSword Sovereign of the Righteous Pathis undoubtedly the greatest swordsman of theTaicang Empire, but that doesn’t mean he’s the greatest in the world!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The statement immediately drew everyone’s attention, including Gu An’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speaker was a young man in blue robes, holding a folding fan. He was handsome and elegant, his expression calm—as if the outrageous words just now hadn’t come from his own mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A burly Inner Sect disciple turned to face him and said in a deep voice, “Oh? Then why don’t you tell us whoisthe world’s greatest sword cultivator?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, theSword Sovereign of the Righteous Pathwas a source of pride for everyTaixuan Sectdisciple. No one would allow his name to be questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue-robed man smiled faintly and answered, “In the far west, withinTianwei, there is a swordsman known as theHeavenly Sword Daoist. Seven hundred years ago, he wasTianwei’snumber one sword cultivator. Later, he secluded himself in the mountains to focus on sword comprehension. Recently, an immense sword intent erupted inTianwei, proving that he is still alive. If theSword Sovereign of the Righteous Pathhadn’t acted so quickly, the one to destroy theNightshade Sectmight have been this elder instead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianwei, one of theNine Dynasties, lay in the farthest west. It was constantly plagued by demons and monsters, yet its vast territory surpassed evenTaicang, proving its formidable national strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu An narrowed his eyes, sensing that this man was hiding his true cultivation. On the surface, he appeared to be at theCore Formation Stage, but in reality, he had already reached theTransformation Stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of curiosity, Gu An used hislifespan probe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Si Zhe (Transformation Stage, Second Level): 289\u002F800\u002F1300】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hidden expert, openly boasting aboutTianweicultivators—this guy was definitely not aTaixuan Sectdisciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu An remained silent, simply watching as the surrounding disciples verbally attackedSi Zhe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ButSi Zheremained calm. Even in the face of curses and insults, his composure did not waver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a powerful voice interrupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heavenly Sword Daoistwas indeed a mighty figure, once famous across the world. But that’s ancient history. And you—aTianweiroyal withFire God Bloodline—daring to speak so arrogantly inTaixuan Sect, are you trying to provoke a war?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All eyes turned toward the speaker—Han Ming, the Sword Maniac of Da Yu, striding forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Zheturned and cupped his hands. “Ah, so it’sSword Maniachimself. I’ve heard that you’ve been inTaixuan Sectfor years. Are you planning to join the sect?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled politely, but his words carried an unmistakable sense of provocation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, brat, if not for the favor I owe your emperor father, you’d already be a corpse. Do you really think yourTransformation Stagecultivation can withstand my sword?\"Han Mingsnorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Transformation Stage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the disciples who had been insultingSi Zhepaled and instinctively stepped back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well then, I won’t keep pretending.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Zhechuckled, then swept his gaze around before channeling his energy and declaring loudly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I amSi Zhe, prince ofTianweiand disciple of theHeavenly Sword Daoist! Today, I challenge on behalf of my master! Three months from now, my master will personally descend uponHeavenly Mending Platformto exchange sword techniques with theSword Sovereign of the Righteous Path!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice echoed through the sky, reaching every corner of the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A challenge against theSword Sovereign of the Righteous Path?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mingmerely laughed. He had been the first to challenge theSword Sovereign. He smirked and asked, “TheNightshade Secthad experts beyond theIntegration Stage. Does your master possess such cultivation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Zheclosed his fan and sneered, “Of course. My father originally intended to invite him to destroy theNightshade Sect, but unfortunately, he was a step too late.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arrogant tone, as if theHeavenly Sword Daoistwas certain to defeat theSword Sovereign, made theTaixuan Sectdisciples even angrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, an elder appeared besideSi Zheand whispered something through aSound Transmission Technique.Si Zhe’sexpression shifted slightly before he scoffed, “Let’s go. I’ve already delivered my message—whether the challenge is accepted or not is up to theSword Sovereign.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he turned and left with the elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu An watched him depart, feeling a growing sense of caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>TheSword Sovereign of the Righteous Pathhad just crushed theNightshade Sect’sschemes, and now, someone dared to challenge him. This opponent was likely no weakling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Gu An didn’t dwell on it for long. He turned away fromHeavenly Mending Platform, heading off to check onWu Jue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A month ago,Wu Jue’smaximum lifespan had increased again, making Gu An even more intrigued. How much further could his lifespan extend?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At dusk,Li Ya, carrying theNorthern Sea Heavy Sword, arrived at the edge ofHeavenly Mending Platform. Staring up at the statue of theSword Sovereign, his eyes gleamed with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ancestor… ourLi Family’sfounder really is theSword Sovereign of the Righteous Path!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His ancestor’s voice in his mind was equally shocked. “I always thought he was…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? A demon fromThousand Autumn Pavilion?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha! I knew it! Our ancestor could never have been a demonic cultivator!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, not far away,Wu Juestood in silent contemplation, gazing at the statue with sorrowful eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master… you always revered theSword Sovereign. If only you were here to witness the coming battle.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1131,"2026-06-06T01:13:12.186Z",1,"novelbin.me","048356791141fe7d3719e3123931319c8312c3419cd462536cabb3c05443fcea","when-i-achieved-sainthood-the-immortal-official--chapter-122","when-i-achieved-sainthood-the-immortal-official--chapter-120",567,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwhen-i-achieved-sainthood-the-immortal-official--cover.jpg"]
