Chapter 1121 — Knocking on the Southern Heaven's Gate

" He sprang into a dive and plummeted from the sky; with his blade sheathed, he appeared before the Butcher and the others, returned the divine blade to the Butcher, and bowed: "Grandpa Tu, I know now what my First Heaven of the Blade Dao should be called. This strike shall be named—Knocking on the Southern Heaven Gate!

" The Butcher laughed heartily: "Not bad at all, quite something.

The blade: I've brought you through the door. The road ahead, and how you walk it, is up to you. " Shen Mu nodded solemnly.

Within the divine treasury of his Primordial Embryo, the Blade Dao Heavenly Palace was reorganizing, taking shape anew, growing ever more complete. The Butcher had taught him no art, only guided him across the threshold of the Blade Dao; this Blade Dao Heavenly Palace could be perfected only by Shen Mu himself.

The Butcher's way of teaching was savage and blunt—not the best of teachers, and yet the best of teachers.

Shen Mu closed his eyes, and within the Blade Dao Heavenly Palace, building after building rose from the ground; divine palaces and sacred halls took form amid crisscrossing blade qi; jasper pools and jasper terraces were swiftly raised, and then the God-Slaying Platform and the Jade Capital City took shape.

Ten thousand strands of blade qi layered and piled at the center of the Jade Capital, transforming into a Hall of Lingxiao wrought of the Blade Dao!

The corner of Shen Mu's spirit embryo's eye twitched. The Hall of Lingxiao of the Blade Dao was far too mighty; to comprehend the ultimate extremity of the Blade Dao, to step into that hall, to sit upon the throne and become the sovereign emperor of blades—one could well imagine what trials and tempering would have to be endured!

Yet what truly horrified him were the two blades of light forming the God-Slaying Platform.

Those two blades of light were condensed from the Great Dao within the blade itself; they cut through all things, their sharpness matchless. Though his Blade Dao primordial spirit still stood below the Southern Heaven Gate, gazing at those two blades from afar sent a shiver of dread through him.
