Then.
Nie Gu and the Qiu family's entourage entered Saint Nie City, under countless awestruck gazes.
How many years has it been since War Ancient Sky produced such a level of genius? The last one of this level was Xiao Ziyu.
Nie Gu is the next Xiao Ziyu.
"Today, the grand wedding of Young Master Nie Gu and Miss Qiu Shuang will be held at the Saint Nie Martial Arts Ground, all martial cultivators are welcome to attend." As Nie Gu and Qiu family's entourage entered Saint Nie City, the Chief Steward of the Nie family suddenly appeared and spoke in a calm tone.
This Chief Steward of the Nie family was an old man, with somewhat dark skin and a rather gloomy aura. His hair was still jet black, but his face was very aged. His gaze swept across the crowd, saying, "The Nie family welcomes martial cultivators with blessings, but if anyone plans something different, like Xuu Tianhe, you've seen what became of him."
With these words, the Chief Steward's gaze fell upon Xuu Tianhe's still bleeding corpse on the empty ground amid the crowd: "Take his corpse to the west gate and hang it. Expose it to the sun for ten days."
The west gate is precisely the back gate of Saint Nie City.
The cold and sinister voice of the Chief Steward of the Nie family made many martial cultivators shrink their heads, feeling immense fear. The Nie family is really powerful and brutal.
Though Xuu Tianhe was the head of the Xuu family, one of the top super cultivators of War Ancient Sky, renowned, with significant status, being swiftly killed was already beyond the comprehension of many martial cultivators, tightness and horror striking their hearts. And now... hanging the corpse for exposure?
Not letting him go even in death? Humiliating in such a way?
Not to mention the head of a first-order power like Xuu Tianhe, even those of second or third-level powers have never been treated like this. What the Nie family is doing is excessive and ruthless.
Isn't this forcing the Xuu family into an undying determination against them? Although Xuu Tianhe is dead, a thin dead camel is still bigger than a horse; the Xuu family is, after all, a first-order power! Isn't the Nie family worried even a bit?
In the crowd, some enemies of the Nie family who came with ulterior motives began hesitating, fearing, and even giving up, feeling the invincible power of Nie Gu and the endless brutality of the Nie family discouraging them.
"Nie family? Nie Gu? Interesting." Su Chen's eyes revealed a more pronounced interest. To be honest, Nie Gu's personality suited him well, speaking little and acting swiftly—a promising martial cultivator.
Very soon.
The crowd surged towards Saint Nie City.
Originally, the martial cultivator population of Saint Nie City was around five hundred million, already one of the top super cities in the Black God Mountain Region. But today, a hefty twenty billion martial cultivators flooded into the city.
Complete capacity!
Truly, bursting at the seams!
Especially at the Saint Nie Martial Arts Ground, it was packed tight like ants, even with Su Chen's vision, he couldn't see the end.
Indeed, a truly spectacular scene.
Su Chen could only find a spot somewhat towards the back, standing there, releasing a slight aura to make those crowded martial cultivators give him a bit of space.
Time passed second by second.
Su Chen was patient, quietly waiting.
It was about one Shichen past.
Finally, the auspicious hour seemed to have arrived, the bright sun hung high, and today's weather was indeed fine.
Suddenly!!!
The atmosphere that was heated and somewhat oppressive due to the crowd and the sunny weather immediately felt like ice strewn about, an icy aura drifted by, even slowing the flow of the air.
The excited, fervent discussions abruptly decreased by ten decibels.
On the martial training field, the crowd turned their gaze towards the central position of the red platform prepared for the wedding.
Then.
Under countless gazes, a figure slowly drifted into clarity as if emerging from the air.
A man.
A man who looked youthful in appearance, but in fact, this person was already over sixty thousand years old.
He had a green beard, with large, dull cold eyes. If one stared closely into his eyes, it would feel like a scorching pain.
The man wore a white robe, his hair held high. A sword was strapped to his back, quite unusual for it seemed to have no quality rank, just an ordinary sword—even if someone with good eye power focused, they would notice the sword blade was quite worn.
Once the man appeared, there was no ripple of emotion from him, even under the scrutiny of tens of billions of martial cultivators, he remained unpressured.
His indifference was a coldness that transcended worldly wind and clouds, seeing beyond mortal prosperity.
His aura seemed utterly out of place for the whole War Ancient Sky.
"Eternal Ancient Realm of Integration Eighth Level?" Su Chen's eyes slightly twitched; besides Xiao Ziyu, this person was the strongest he'd encountered.
Could it be someone from the Great Luo Heaven?
In Su Chen's understanding, War Ancient Sky shouldn't have a true martial cultivator of the Eternal Ancient Realm of Integration.
Even Lan Dingtian, one of the Three Palaces' masters of Yanxu Palace, was merely at the peak of Ninth Level Realm of Broken Eternal.
The Eighth Level of the Eternal Ancient Realm of Integration utterly surpasses the level of War Ancient Sky!
Moreover, this person's swordsmanship is truly terrifying!!!
Specifically how terrifying, Su Chen wasn't clear, but seeing at a distance of several kilometers, this person gave him the feeling of a sword standing there.
"Old Dragon, if I exert all my strength, can I contend with him?" Su Chen asked.
"No." Old Dragon replied straightforwardly, "Moreover, you are still far from that. With your current strength, you might not shy away from the Fifth Level Realm of the Eternal Ancient, but beyond Fifth Level of the Eternal Ancient Realm, you are still lacking. Especially the person before you, this person has reached divine comprehension of the sword. If he wanted to kill you, he'd only need one sword strike."
"Only one sword strike?" Su Chen's face trembled harshly, growing exceedingly serious.
"No, you can be undying and indestructible, he cannot actually kill you, but with one sword, he could pierce through your heart or sever your throat, that's no problem," Old Dragon corrected.
Su Chen exhaled, "What if I borrow your strength?"
"He wouldn't be your match," Old Dragon said calmly, "If I lend you power, you could barely beat Xiao Ziyu, not to mention this person? Xiao Ziyu is a solid Tao Realm expert, albeit just at the Second Level of the Humanity Daoism Realm, yet not someone this person can compare to. Tao Realm and non-Tao Realm have a world of difference. If I lend you strength, within three moves, you could slay this person."
"Then that's settled," Su Chen nodded, his emotions completely calm. He curiously asked again, "What does Sword Dao Divine Comprehension mean?"
