Wang Tian teleported to the far northern part of the Central Continent, to a place known as the Supreme Sword Domain. He headed to the most prosperous place of this domain: Mighty Sword City.
Wang Tian secretly went to the City Lord. But to his surprise, two people seemed to be waiting for him. One was a middle-aged man dressed in a red robe, and the other was a young woman with a blue dress full of blood energy.
"Are you this generation's sect master of the Demon God Sword Sect?" asked Wang Tian toward the little girl.
"Xue Xiang has seen Lord Wang Tian," saluted the young girl.
"Are you waiting for me?"
"My master told me you would come here."
Wang Tian sighed after hearing this. "Alright, lead the way."
"Your excellency, this way," said the middle-aged man who was the City Lord. Although he controlled this large city full of powerhouses and resources, he did not dare have any attitude toward the former sect master of the Dao Opening Sect.
The City Lord led the two to a secret room full of formation. He activated them without wasting time, and Wang Tian and Xue Xiang disappeared.
Wang Tian soon found himself in another small word. A towering mountain was in the distance, with numerous cities at the base and the surrounding. He saw innumerable people flying in the sky with their swords. Wang Tian quickly noticed that 95% of the people he saw in this small world had a sword as their primary weapon. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Additionally, he noticed the Spiritual Qi between Heaven and Eart was violent, making it more challenging to absorb for cultivation.
'In the past, I was arrogant and called the people of the Demon God Sword Sect sword users, not swordsmen. But now…'
He secretly shook his head, admonishing his young self. Then, he followed Xu Xiang to the towering mountain's peak. She guided him inside a hall but did not follow. Meanwhile, Wang Tian saw an older man with white hair and beard, bulging muscles, and mighty sword intent. However, the most striking thing about him was a scar on his left eye.
"So, you've reached this realm as well."
"Of course, " replied Fan Shun with a calm but heavy tone. "I already had the foundation. So, it's normal I reach the stage after seeing you demonstrate."
"Indeed. Your Demon God Sword has been right all along," muttered Wang Tian.
The Demon God Sword is an old sect despite having only one Great Emperor. Their founder–Demon God Sword Emperor– existed during the Incense Era and was quite talented. He was the first to preach that swordsmen need a powerful body, then condense their Essence, Spirit, and Qi to reach higher realms.
Unfortunately, he was talented in body refining but not swordsmanship. Before proving the Dao, he only reached the Sword Law Realm, not even the Sword Domain Realm; this meant he could use the power of his sword through the Domain of the Saint Realm, but not individually like other swordsmen who reached the 11th realm.
Despite this, he was still a mighty First Class Emperor.
The Demon God Sword Emperor created a sect, hoping to pass on his ideal to the next generation. Unfortunately, their sect has been ridiculed by pure swordsmanship factions for over four eras.
Until today.
"Why are you here?" asked Fan Shun, not even asking Wang Tian to sit down or offer tea.
"You know why I'm here."
Fan Shun did not say anything but stared at Wang Tian.
"I'm here to apologize," added Wang Tian, looking at the scar on the latter's face. When he was young, he could sometimes be too hotblooded. So, he once met Fan Shun and discussed the Way of the Sword.
Wang Tian thought Fan Shun was a mediocre swordsman and disdained interacting with the latter; he even called him a sword user–meaning someone who only uses the sword but does not cultivate the Sword Dao. This was one of the worst insults a swordsman could receive, so Fan Shun criticized Wang Tian's ignorance and pride.
Angered, Wang Tian almost killed the latter with one slash, leaving that scar on his face. However, Wang Tian remembered Fan Shun's words as he lay bleeding on the floor:
"One day, you'll realize I was right."
