"Enough!
You are standing inside the territory of the Divine Sword Mountain, the most sacred place in the Sword
Cosmos.
Now that the young man is being tested, you are not allowed to stir up trouble here for the time being!"
The old man in grey waved his sleeve and suppressed all the pressure released by Nash.
"Sir, this is a personal conflict between him and me. It would be wise that you do not interfere!"
Nash countered. After all, he was a powerful governing god. It was an insult for him to be scolded right
in the face like that.
"Be that as it may, the Divine Sword Mountain is not the place for you to solve your personal grudges.
If you want to fight, you must do it outside the Divine Sword Mountain.
Whatever battle you choose to engage in, I won't interfere at all!"
the old man in grey said indifferently.
"Sir, what do you mean?
Are you being partial to Sword Son Curry?
Don't you remember that our four major forces are the true rulers of the Sword Cosmos now?
The era during which Sword Son Curry ruled had long passed.
Since when was your permission required in order to deal with the Sword Son Curry?"
With an overwhelming bearing, Rollins stepped forward and yelled at the old man.
Over the years, the four major forces had been scrambling for the control of the Divine Sword
Mountain.
But none of them succeeded.
In addition to the endless fights and squabbles among the four major forces, the biggest obstacle was
the five sword spirits, also known as sword servants, on the Divine Sword Mountain.
They were the real masters of the Divine Sword Mountain.
Anyone who wanted exclusive control of the Divine Sword Mountain, had to make the five sword spirits
yield to them first.
This proved to be impossible as the five sword spirits would always stay on the Divine Sword Mountain
and would never leave.
Each of them had unfathomable fighting abilities.
Moreover, with the Divine Sword Mountain as the home territory of the five sword spirits, they already
had the advantage.
In their home court, it was almost impossible to control them and make them give in.
It made the four major forces utterly helpless.
It was only now that the senior leaders of the four major forces realized how terrifying and brilliant
Master Sword had been back then.
In the era where Master Sword ruled the Sword Cosmos, he had always lived on the Divine Sword
Mountain and treated it as his private place to cultivate in seclusion.
At that time, the Divine Sword Mountain was completely under the control of Master Sword!
The senior leaders of the four major forces knew that the key to controlling the Divine Sword Mountain
was by subduing the five sword spirits.
That was why the four governing gods were eager to give it try and fight the old man in grey. They
wanted to test his strength.
"I couldn't have said it more clearly.
The Divine Sword Mountain is not the place for you to solve your personal issues.
If you want to fight, you must leave this place.
Otherwise, don't blame me for taking appropriate actions,"
the old man insisted, becoming a bit impatient.
"Sir, you are making things difficult for us,"
Rollins said with a sneer. As he took a step forward, his gaze became more deadly.
"Sir, please let us do it here. Sword Son Curry is very important to our four major forces.
Since he has appeared somewhere here, we can't forgive ourselves if we let him go!"
At that moment, Hodge of the Sky Sword Sect, Nash from the Ximen Clan, and Cunning from the
Flying Immortal Sword Sect also stepped forward to surround Sword Son Curry.
However, the latter merely sneered in response and remained calm.
He knew the Divine Sword Mountain all too well.
At that very moment, Austin was taking the test in the Divine Sword Mountain. No one was allowed to
make any trouble here.
Back then, even Master Sword treated the five sword spirits of the Divine Sword Mountain with respect,
careful not to offend them.
But now, it was the four governing gods themselves who actually provoked the sword spirit in grey.
"It seems that you don't take my words seriously,"
the old man sneered, about to lose his temper.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
On the Divine Sword Mountain, the endless bright sword aura became turbulent, like a roaring sea.
Then a giant sword appeared in the sky.
It was in a very ancient form with a flawless sword radiance flowing all around it.
Whoosh!!
The huge sword smoothly passed through everything and cut down from above like a sharp blade
through a silk cloth.
This strike was unhurried, yet it emitted a dignified momentum.
It was as if the supreme civilization, history and faith of swordsmanship were all embedded in it.
With each slash, all the sword-light on the Divine Sword Mountain dimmed down, as if humbly
submitting to the giant sword.
At the sight of this, the four governing gods couldn't help but turn pale with fright.
The huge sword seemed to be coming at them unhurriedly yet at constant speed, and the sword
potential seemed to be flat and moderate.
Upon contact however, countless sharp sword auras had imperceptibly infiltrated everywhere and
tightly wrapped the four of them.
These invisible sword auras were so terrifying that even the four governing gods suffered serious
injuries and blood loss.
They all screamed in unimaginable pain as billowing sword auras constantly gushed out of their bodies.
They looked like four glowing hedgehogs.
However, when the sword auras they released met the sword auras of the huge sword, they were no
match for the latter and were instantly blasted into pieces.
As the huge sword continued to slash down on everything,
the space where the four governing gods stood began to collapse and disintegrate into space dust.
After all, this was the Divine Sword Mountain, the core of the Sword Cosmos!
The space of the Divine Sword Mountain was a thousand-fold stronger and more stable than that of
other places!
But under the heavy pressure of the giant sword, it was immediately destroyed, crumbling like a piece
of cake.
"Arrghhhh!"
The four governing gods were forced to retreat as they threw out the most powerful counterattacks that
they could muster.
Bang!
They could only hold on for a moment before they were all thrown away by the powerful wind shear
from the giant sword. Although they were not that badly injured, their bodies were riddled with
numerous sword cuts.
Even one of Rollins' arms was cut off by the sword radiance, his blood gushing out freely.
These were four of the strongest governing gods!
Yet all of them were defeated and driven away by the old man in grey with only one strike.
"This is the unquestionable power of the Divine Sword Mountain!
He can take advantage of its power here,"
Rollins screamed, warning the others.
"You are right! And I am a part of the Divine Sword Mountain,"
the old man in grey replied matter-of-factly.
They dared not take another step forward after they were sent pummeling backwards. They stood still,
not knowing what to do as they were stuck in an embarrassing situation.
"Humph!
We can't make a move unless he leaves the Divine Sword Mountain,"
Nash snorted coldly.
The other three governing gods' faces darkened, but they had to concur. This was their only option, if
they wanted to walk out of here alive.
"This is the Divine Sword Mountain. How dare you offend the sword spirit? Your ignorant boldness is
appalling.
You must know that this time, the sword spirit merely punished you lightly.
I wonder if you can leave the Divine Sword Mountain alive next time you provoked him like this again,"
Sword Son Curry sneered.
He knew the Divine Sword Mountain and the five sword spirits very well.
So he was confident that he was absolutely safe now.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have shown himself to the four governing gods.
