Zhao Huangting smiled and said, “There’s no such thing as longevity in this world. What’s wrong with death? I only seek pleasure.”

The old swordsmith nodded. “Not bad. You look carefree, and that’s better than many people who are unscrupulous when their lifespan is about to end.” “You flatter me. I’m just a commoner.” Zhao Huangting said.

The old swordsmith smiled. “However, a commoner like you has brought a huge surprise to the Sword Pool Palace today.”

When Zhao Huangting heard this, he immediately grinned with a smug expression.

“Green Mountain won’t choose the wrong person, and I, Zhao Huangting, won’t make a mistake either.”

The old swordsmith’s gaze shifted and landed on the Sword Pool Lake that had split into two in the distance.

His Primordial Spirit could sense the gaze in the Sword Pool Lake that seemed to change the color of the world. He could not help but smile.

The old man cupped his fists and bowed.

Seeing the old swordsmith’s actions, Wan Jieliu, who had been following the old swordsmith all year round, instantly reacted. His expression changed slightly, and he immediately cupped his fists and bowed.

Su Muzhe and the many swordsmiths and grand cultivators of the Sword Pool Palace all changed their expressions. Without hesitation, they bowed deeply.

An Le could not help but turn around. The Green Mountain and Ink Pool Sword at his waist were trembling uncontrollably. There seemed to be an extremely majestic sword intent surging in the world.

It was as if a peerless divine blade was slowly unsheathing.

In the Sword Pool Lake, an old man in casual linen clothes with white hair that reached his waist and a white beard that reached his waist slowly walked out.

The ancestor of the Sword Pool Palace, the old Sword Sage who had stepped into the Land Immortal Realm!

As soon as the Sword Sage appeared, everyone’s swords began to tremble uncontrollably, including An Le’s Green Mountain.

At this moment, everyone was excited. They felt surprised, but they also felt that it was natural.

The reason for the surprise was that no one had expected this old Sword Sage, who had not appeared for more than a hundred years, to walk out of the Sword Pool Lake like this. Even when he beat Zhao Huangting up back then, the old Sword Sage had only relied on a wisp of his aura.

And today, the old Sword Sage actually walked out after the Sword Pool Lake was cut open by the bell wave.

Su Muzhe was extremely excited and pursed her red lips. As long as this old Sword Sage was still around, the Sword Pool Palace would be incomparably stable. The forces and experts coveting it didn’t dare to make any abnormal movements.

The old man walked over step by step. The sword qi in the world gradually extinguished, and he strolled over like an ordinary old man in linen clothes.

The old swordsmith, Wang Yansheng, bowed to the old Sword Sage again. The old Sword Sage smiled and raised his hand gently. “We’re already so old, there’s no need to care about these empty greetings.”

The old swordsmith smiled lightly. “I didn’t expect you to come out today.”

“The Sword Bell hasn’t rung more than 30 times in 600 years. Today, it rang 36 times. How can I not come out to take a look? If I continue to sit at the bottom of the lake, it will be disrespectful to the Sword Tomb and the sword.” The old Sword Sage smiled and his gaze landed on An Le, who was dressed in white.

The old Sword Sage’s gaze did not give An Le any pressure. Instead, it was as comfortable as a spring breeze.

“The fate between humans and the sword is the key for Sword Dao cultivators to break through their confusion and walk on their path.”

“When you stepped into the Sword Pool Lake, I didn’t think you could ring the bell 36 times, but you gave me an unimaginable surprise.”

“I specially came to see you, but now, I don’t feel surprised anymore.”

There seemed to be sword qi in the old man’s eyes. His entire body seemed to be condensed from sword qi. A slight gust of wind could let the old man in front of him ride the wind back.

An Le felt the Divine Sword Body tremble slightly as if it could not hide under the old man’s gaze.

The old Sword Sage took a step forward and appeared beside An Le. He raised his hand and gently tapped An Let s glabella.

In the Sword Furnace between his eyebrows, the sonorous mental sword qi calmed down.

“The fate between you and the sword, the fate between us, is in these two wisps of sword qi. This is what you deserve for ringing the bell 36 times.”

“I hope these two wisps of sword qi can be of help to you.”

“From now on, the Sword Pool Lake will stand on your side. As long as you’re worthy of the sword, the Sword Pool Lake… will be worthy of you.”

The old Sword Sage’s voice was ethereal but extremely gentle.

In the next moment, two wisps of extremely majestic sword qi surged. One entered the Niwan Palace between his brows, and the other appeared around his dantian’s Inner Core.

The Divine Sword Body seemed to be cheering as it absorbed the special intent and power contained in the sword qi bit by bit.

On the other side, the people on the lawn were shocked by the old Sword Sage’s words.

Su Muzhe and the others from the Sword Pool Palace were extremely shocked. The old Sword Sage’s words… had extraordinary meaning. It was equivalent to admitting An Le’s status in the Sword Pool Palace. The Sword Pool Palace would do their best to assist and be tied to An Le.

Even Zhao Huangting’s long eyebrows trembled in surprise. Could this old Sword Sage… have seen through something?

How could he be so certain that he would bet the Sword Pool Palace on An Le? “An era is about to end. The future belongs to the young.”

“You should firmly hold the sword in your heart. The sword will not let you down.” The old Sword Sage said with a gentle smile.

He patted An Le’s shoulder and said earnestly.

An Le slowly recovered from the two wisps of majestic and shocking sword qi. He suppressed the urge to study these two wisps of sword qi and cupped his fists. “Thank you, Senior.”

In the distance.

The Jiangling Prince, Li Qingchuan of the Celestial Master Residence, and Second Prince Zhao Pei also heard the old Sword Sage’s words.

Second Prince Zhao Pei couldn’t help but frown.

After some thought, he took a step forward. The golden mark between his eyebrows emitted a faint light, and a Purple Qi Golden Lotus bloomed behind him.

“The Second Prince of the Great Zhao Dynasty, Zhao Pei, greets Elder Sword Sage Pei.”

Second Prince Zhao Pei cupped his fists at the old Sword Sage.

There was respect in his voice, but his goal was undoubtedly to show his presence.

However, no one paid attention to him.

The spring breeze blew gently, and the spring rain fell gently. The world was silent. He awkwardly maintained his cupped fists and bowed. He could not leave just like that.

However, what quickly made him happy was that the old Sword Sage seemed to look at him and spoke lightly.

“The Purple Qi Golden Lotus is not bad.”

The joy on the Second Prince’s face faded bit by bit. Vaguely, he seemed to sense that something was wrong with these words.

What did he mean by the Purple Qi Golden Lotus was not bad? Could it be that this old Sword Sage wanted to pluck it?

The Second Prince’s expression changed slightly. The surrounding air seemed to have turned cold. It was as if countless swords were pointing at him, making his hair stand on end.

He maintained his cupped fists and bowed, not daring to move. However, in his heart, he had long wanted to turn around and escape..
