"Sword Twenty, Sword Twenty.
. .
" Kaihuang raised his sword, his eyes blank and vacant. The Worry-Free Sword in his hand traced left and right, aimlessly, as he tried to find the Sword Twenty Form. Yan Yunxi's eyes flickered.
"Your Majesty, you have been reverse-engineering every sword technique and secret from Heavenly Venerable Mu's swordsmanship.
What do you think Heavenly Venerable Mu is doing right now? " "Sneaking into the Worry-Free Land. " Kaihuang answered without thinking. "He will start from Taihuang Heaven, searching for the secrets of my sword arts and divine abilities, looking for a way to defeat me.
The reason he proposed a two-month deadline was not to wait for Feng Qing to establish Youdu, but to use those two months to gain some understanding of my swordsmanship.
" "Heavenly Venerable Shen, Heavenly Venerable Mu—truly one family. Their thoughts are exactly the same.
" Yan Yunxi laughed, then withdrew. "This subject will not disturb Your Majesty's contemplation of the Sword Twenty Form. May Your Majesty achieve success soon.
" In Taihuang Heaven of the Worry-Free Land, Shujun followed Shen Mu. He saw that Shen Mu did not head straight for the academy or study halls there, but instead wandered through the mountain forests, inspecting the soil and water, studying the ridges.
Shen Mu even turned vital essence into a sword, transforming it into the Drilling Sword Form, boring into the mountain body, deep into the earth.
"Holy Infant, what are you looking for?
" Shujun could not help asking in doubt. "Why do you also call me Holy Infant?
" Shen Mu was caught between laughter and tears. Shujun said, "I am a Creator, so naturally I must call you Holy Infant. It is the etiquette of the Creator race. What exactly are you searching for?
" Shen Mu used vital essence to form a sword and drilled out rock fragments from deep underground.
He grabbed a handful, squeezed it in his palm, and said, "Kaihuang's one sword—one strike that transformed into thirty-three heavens and carved away nearly half of the Other Shore World. There is something strange about this. " Shujun was puzzled. "We have been in the Other Shore World for some time now.
The continents where the Creators live, including the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas upon them, were all visualized into being by the Creator race. These lands float in the void and are not connected. " Shen Mu again turned vital essence into a sword and thrust it into a mighty mountain in Taihuang Heaven of the Worry-Free Land. The sword energy bored deep into the mountain, and he said, "One sword transforming into thirty-three heavens sounds terrifying. If Kaihuang really thrust out one sword and directly sliced thirty-three continents from the Other Shore World, then integrated them into thirty-three heavens, then even if every member of the Creator race were tied together, and even if Divine King Langwan were added, they would not be a match for him alone. In that case, how could the Creator race have opposed the Worry-Free Land for twenty thousand years? " Shujun was startled. "One sword transforming into thirty-three heavens of course means Kaihuang thrust out his sword, and the thirty-three heavens took form beneath his blade, occupying half of the Other Shore World.
It was not that one sword of Kaihuang split the Other Shore World in half. " Shen Mu took out some stone fragments from inside the mountain and smiled. "Divine King Shujun, you are too honest. You do not know that Kaihuang looks honest but is in fact cunning.
" He squeezed the fragments and saw that among them were some metal powders. Shen Mu blew out a breath.
The stone fragments flew away, but the metal dust remained in his palm.
