"Fellow Daoist Jian Wushuang, you are too kind."
"Indeed, indeed, with such a grand event in Divine Sword City, why would we not come?"
Hearing Jian Wushuang's words, the young people around him spoke one after another.
Meanwhile, Ye Lin looked at Jian Wushuang's back, his eyes glinting.
Jian Wushuang's action immediately elevated his status significantly.
His words were as if an elder was speaking to a Junior.
"Let me see your panel."
Name: Jian Wushuang
Cultivation: Golden Core Peak
Destiny: Purple
Fate Principles: 【Sword Dao Divinity】 【Ten Years to Forge a Sword】 【Astonishing Perseverance】 【Innate Sword Body】
Fate: Stops at He Dao Stage, to protect the Human Race, he forcefully dragged three Yao Race He Dao Stage mighty figures into self-destruction, and thus, a generation's Prodigy fell.
Recent Opportunity: One month later, he will go to Nameless Sea to forge his sword. Unexpectedly, he will trigger a mechanism, falling into a Nascent Soul Realm True Person's Immortal Cave, ultimately obtaining the Nascent Soul Realm Sword Cultivator Immortal Master's lifelong Sword Dao Legacy, and thus, breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage in one fell swoop, with his Sword Dao cultivation advancing further.
【Sword Dao Divinity】: Born for the sword, a Sword Dao fanatic, obsessed with the sword his entire life, born for the sword, dying for the sword.
【Ten Years to Forge a Sword】: To nurture his innate divine sword, he did not hesitate to suppress his Realm for three years. When the sword is unsheathed, it will be the day that shakes the world.
【Astonishing Perseverance】: Innately astonishing perseverance. To practice the sword, he endured for a month in heavy snow as a Mortal, just to practice the sword. His powerful perseverance allows him to go further on the path of the Sword Dao.

His body can accommodate a million swords, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, with great capacity comes great power. His self is the sword, heaven and earth are the sword. On the path of the Sword Dao, you shall be called the leader.
Looking at Jian Wushuang's panel, Ye Lin thought to himself, 'Good heavens, this panel is almost on par with Li Xiaoyao.'
However, compared to Li Xiaoyao, he was still a bit lacking.
Upon seeing the Opportunity, Ye Lin's eyes narrowed slightly. The lifelong Sword Dao insights of a Nascent Soul Realm Sword Cultivator Immortal Master – this was an enormous Opportunity.
Even a pig, upon gaining the insights of a Nascent Soul Realm Sword Dao Immortal Master, would likely become a Sword Immortal on the spot.
"Hahaha, Young Master Jian Wushuang's Sword Intent is now nearing Major Achievement. I'm afraid he will be another Sword Immortal in the future."
"Hahaha, well said."
The young people around burst into laughter.
Sword Immortal did not refer to cultivation, but rather an honorific title. Those who could be called Sword Immortals must have their own unique understanding on the path of the Sword Dao.
"gentlemen, you flatter me."
Hearing this, Jian Wushuang merely smiled faintly, not refuting.
Sometimes, being too humble can lead to a loss of confidence.
"Monk, why are you so downcast?"
At this moment, Ye Lin turned to look at the dejected Wu Xin, his face full of confusion.
"Benefactor, Little Monk is afraid he will suffer a beating three days from now. Little Monk is worried."
Wu Xin said with a bitter smile.
Three years ago, Jian Wushuang could already suppress him and beat him. Now, looking at him, Jian Wushuang was much stronger than three years ago, not just by a little bit.
And three days later, another beating awaited him.
"However, Jian Wushuang spent three years nurturing his innate divine sword. What astonishing perseverance!"
Upon seeing the sword behind Jian Wushuang, Wu Xin's eyes filled with admiration.
With his clear Buddhist heart, he could see Jian Wushuang's fundamental changes at a glance.
Nurturing an innate divine sword involves nurturing it with one's own blood and cultivation, and the nurturing process cannot be interrupted for even a moment.
This was an extremely taxing process for one's mind and cultivation. Those who could persevere were individuals of great resolve.
However, the benefits gained from doing so were also terrifying.
Ten years to forge a sword, and when the sword is unsheathed, it splits heaven and earth.
"Benefactor, what do you think of Jian Wushuang?"
Wu Xin quietly came beside Ye Lin and whispered.
"Very strong, unexpectedly strong."
Ye Lin said with certainty.
"Then, compared to Jian Wushuang, how many chances of victory do you have?"
Hearing this, Ye Lin pondered internally.
Then he slowly spoke.
"Forty percent."
After Ye Lin finished speaking, Wu Xin's face was filled with surprise.
He was not surprised that it was low, but that it was high.
He only had a thirty percent chance of winning against Jian Wushuang, but Ye Lin actually had forty percent.
He had still underestimated Ye Lin.
"If I use Destruction Sword Intent, Phoenix Fire, and the power of the Nine-Colored Golden Core, playing all my trump cards, I have an eighty percent chance of winning."
The next moment, Ye Lin thought to himself.
The entire gathering lasted for three hours, and everyone dispersed, heading to their allocated accommodations in Divine Sword City.
The gathering was mainly for the various Prodigies to interact, and the next day was for continued battles, so it didn't last too long.
Coincidentally, Ye Lin and Wu Xin were assigned to the same room.
That's right, it was just one room. Because with so many Cultivators, even Divine Sword City couldn't accommodate them all, and the prepared accommodations were a bit scarce.
Some Cultivators even sat cross-legged in mid-air.
"Benefactor, see you tomorrow."
Wu Xin sat cross-legged on the bed opposite Ye Lin, gave Ye Lin a mysterious smile, and then slowly closed his eyes.
Instantly, the entire room shimmered with golden light, and Buddhist chants resonated.
If a Mortal were to enter at this moment, they would likely be immediately converted and become the most loyal believers of Buddhism.
Ye Lin, however, smiled faintly. Within his Divine Soul, the Xuan Guang Pagoda rapidly rotated, resisting the Buddhist light.
The next moment, Ye Lin immediately entered meditation.
Wu Xin's small trick had no effect on him whatsoever.
The night passed quickly. The sun slowly rose, and streaks of light rushed towards the square.
"Benefactor, let's go."
At this moment, Wu Xin came before Ye Lin with a smile.
Upon arriving at the square, Ye Lin noticed a subtle change: another arena had been added.
"gentlemen, Fellow Daoists, this extra arena is for arbitrary challenges. As long as you wish to challenge someone, simply step onto the arena and announce the name of the person you wish to challenge."
Seeing the confused expressions of many Cultivators, Lu Xuan in mid-air said with a smile.
Yesterday, he discovered a problem.
That was, the battles of the past few days were all small fry, while the true Prodigies seemed too bored.
Some Prodigies even closed their eyes and fell asleep.
So, to make this grand competition more interesting, he set up this arena.
As expected, hearing Lu Xuan's explanation, the young people around became interested.
"Benefactor, your trouble has arrived."
At this moment, Wu Xin, beside Ye Lin, said with a smile.
Ye Lin, however, was full of confusion.
But, the next moment, he understood.
He saw a young man already standing on the arena.
"Fellow Daoists, Immortal Masters, I am Xue Sheng, the Third Prince of the Glazed Imperial Dynasty. This time, I only wish to spar with Fellow Daoist Ye Lin, an Outer Sect Disciple of Nameless Mountain. I hope Fellow Daoist Ye Lin will grant my request."
Xue Sheng smiled, holding a folding fan in his hand and gently fanning himself.
"An Outer Sect Disciple of Nameless Mountain? I didn't expect the prestige of Divine Sword City to be so great that it even startled an Outer Sect Disciple of Nameless Mountain."
"No matter what, Divine Sword City is the second most powerful force in Tianhe County."
"But this Xue Sheng is a bit overestimating himself, actually attempting to challenge an Outer Sect Disciple of Nameless Mountain."
"I don't think so. Although Nameless Mountain is strong, who said that all within Nameless Mountain are Prodigies?"
The Disciples around discussed animatedly upon hearing this.
Ye Lin, however, was a bit speechless. This fellow's mind was surprisingly petty.
But the next moment, he suddenly became interested.
