“不动明王剑法？” Luo Ji knew very little about such secret techniques. The Luo people were not a large clan to begin with, so naturally, they wouldn't know much about these things.
“This sword technique is the inner-circle sword technique of the Nanqi Mingwang clan, only their royalty can practice it,” Xue said lightly.
“You, how do you know these things?” Luo Ji was a little curious. After all, the Bai Clan knew that Nanqi and Taicang often had conflicts. Being able to occupy the south and be king, and fight against Taicang for many years, Nanqi's power was enough to attract the attention of the world. If the Heavenly King hadn't conquered Nanqi in one fell swoop back then, I'm afraid it would still be Nanqi competing with Taicang now.
And this person in front of her, as a Taicang Marquis, actually knew so many secrets about Nanqi, it was truly strange.

“Why do I know? Because… I have also been to Nanqi,” Xue said calmly. Only she herself understood why she knew so many secrets about the Nanqi Mingwang clan. It was only because of her former master, who was the true direct descendant of the Nanqi Mingwang clan. It's just that he later declined the position of patriarch and devoted himself to assisting the Heavenly King.
Sometimes Xue would also ask herself, if her master hadn't painstakingly helped the Heavenly King deal with matters in Tianyuan City back then, would he not have passed away so early? What kind of genius was her master? At that time, he already possessed immense magical power. Even after ten thousand years, Xue rarely saw someone as amazingly talented as her master.
And among those who had traveled with him, many are still alive in the world today. Some have youthful faces and white hair, while others have faces like green pheasants. No one is like her master, who aged so terribly in just a hundred years. Why did her master, who had reached such a realm, die so early? These were things that Xue had never understood.
“Let’s watch a little longer,” Xue said, standing on the stage and watching quietly.
Meanwhile, in the Mountain and River Realm, Jiang Wen had just defeated several puppets. These were all things transformed by the Mountain and River Realm, and their strength was enough to reach the peak of the Life Fire Realm.
If ordinary Life Fire cultivators encountered them, I'm afraid they would be in great danger. Even if they met in the Dao Palace, it would be a bit tricky. After all, these puppets cooperated with each other and moved in formations. The strength they displayed was not as simple as one plus one equals two, but rather grew geometrically.
However, although these things were strong, they were nothing more than that to Jiang Wen. He was not what he used to be. After experiencing all kinds of things, he had more methods and trump cards.
Just a few puppets, even if they formed a formation, it didn't matter. Jiang Wen easily broke through the formation formed by the puppets with his physical abilities.
“So simple,” Jiang Wen smiled and walked towards the distance on the yellow sand. He raised his eyes and looked into the distance. Under the distant illusory sun, an incomparably tall mountain peak loomed.
That was the Jiangwu Mountain of the Mountain and River Realm, and all competitions were held on it. Only those who reached that mountain peak were qualified to start the Jiangwu competition. If they died in this outer realm, they would naturally not be qualified to enter Jiangwu Mountain again.
This was the iron law of Taicang, the king of the world, respected only by the strong.
Jiang Wen strode towards the mountain peak, and inadvertently heard the sound of thunder coming from his ears. Looking over, thunder and fire intertwined in the distance, as if someone was performing great magic. Looking to one side, he saw mountain rocks protruding, and hail falling from the sky, freezing several miles of land.

The Mountain and River Realm was large enough to accommodate all kinds of things in the world. In this illusion, wind, frost, and yellow sand could all be encountered.
Jiang Wen tried to fly up, but felt a heavy burden pressing down on him. Even with his current realm, it was difficult to fly in this Mountain and River Realm. It seemed that flying was restricted by the Mountain and River Realm to prevent someone from being lazy and cheating.
This matter was not difficult for him. Since he couldn't fly, he would just walk over there.
With one step, he was several feet away. His figure was like a ghost, and in a few breaths, he had already swept past dozens of miles.
Just as he was about to rush to the top of Jiangwu Mountain, he was suddenly stopped by someone on the road. Jiang Wen stopped and looked over, but it was the white-haired girl he had seen outside before. She held her sword and looked at Jiang Wen quietly.
“Is there anything I can do for you?” Jiang Wen asked curiously. Although this white-haired girl was from the Mingwang clan, he had nothing to do with the Mingwang clan now. Even if there had been a relationship in the past, it had already faded. He was curious as to why this girl was blocking his way.
“I have seen you,” the girl said coldly.
“I saw you not long ago,” Jiang Wen said with a smile.
“Compete with me,” the girl said quietly, holding her sword towards him. “I have sensed a different aura from you. Can you compete with me?”
“This, shouldn’t the competition be on Jiangwu Mountain? Why choose here?” Jiang Wen pointed to the mountain peak in the distance and asked the white-haired girl with some incomprehension. He could see that this girl was a cold person, but the sword intent in her body was a bit peculiar, very similar to Li Yunshang. However, Li Yunshang’s sword intent might not be as cold and sharp as hers.
“There are too many people there, I can’t let go,” the white-haired girl shook her head. “No one will disturb us here.”
“……” Jiang Wen understood what the girl meant. It was nothing more than saying that there were too many people on Jiangwu Mountain, and she couldn’t go all out. She wanted to have a big fight with Jiang Wen in this deserted place.
“Can’t we get along in peace?” Jiang Wen asked.
“Please enlighten me,” the girl replied coldly as usual.
“You really don’t listen to reason…” Jiang Wen sighed softly. Seeing that the girl was unwilling to give up, he understood that today’s battle was unavoidable. Seeing the sword in the girl’s hand, he thought for a while and pinched the sword technique to summon a flying sword. “Since you are so eager to fight, I will not show mercy.”
He held the Azure Dragon Sword in the Four Symbols Sword Formation and gently stroked the sword. After being tempered by the sword intent in the Vajra Palace, the current Four Symbols Sword Formation was better than the flying sword he originally held. Whether it was Flying Frost or the nameless black sword, they were not as good as these four flying swords now.
Holding one alone was a top-grade magic weapon.
When the white-haired girl saw the Azure Dragon Sword, her eyes lit up: “Good sword.”
“……Don’t use ‘good sword’ to praise people in the future,” Jiang Wen grinned and said. The next moment, he had already attacked the girl. “Let me see your skills.”
The sword was like a startled swan, shattering the sand and dust. Only the roar of a dragon was heard in the desert, and a sword came through the air.
The white-haired girl looked solemn, and the long sword in her hand was unsheathed. It circled and flew, striking towards the person who was attacking. The next moment, a blue light appeared, with countless hazy phantoms. The two exchanged blows, and hundreds of moves had passed in the blink of an eye.
The people outside the Mountain and River Realm were watching this battle, and many cultivators showed shocked expressions. The sword force was too fast, and the swordsmanship was too swift. It was like a flying light and shadow, making it impossible to see their movements clearly.
Only the sound of crackling collisions was heard, and the next moment, countless cracks appeared in a radius of ten miles.
“This is, Sword Intent Reaching Divinity.”
