Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The anomaly on Heavenly Celeste Star attracted many cultivators’ attention.
All the cultivators within Interstellar Arena looked at the sky with excited looks on their faces.
“An anomaly at Heavenly Celeste Star? Does it mean some great Opportunities of Fortune are emerging?”
“It should be!”
“Heavenly Celeste Star is only second to Heavenly Might Star among the Big Dipper Thirty-six Stars. It must contain some kind of gigantic Opportunity of Fortune.”
!!
“That sword qi… Could it be that place?”

The cultivators started to investigate the anomaly and soon reached a conclusion.
The Sword Immortal’s Tomb had emerged at Heavenly Celeste Star!
Chu Kuangren also got the news despite being on Terraglyph Planet.
“According to the ancient legends, Heavenly Celeste Star was once the holy ground for sword cultivators from all over the universe. It produced many swordsmen that shook galaxies, and when their lives were at their end, they chose to return to the planet. It was later that someone built a tomb for the fallen Sword Immortals.
“There were many Arch Gilded Sword Immortals among them, and their inheritances were all left behind in that tomb.”
The Sword Immortal’s Tomb information appeared in Chu Kuangen’s mind.
“Interesting. A tomb to bury all the ancient sword cultivators? Maybe there’s something there that’ll benefit me.”
Chu Kuangren possessed the Green Leaf Sword Vision, and the Sword Dao had always been his forte.
He would never miss the opening of the Sword Immortal’s Tomb.
While he was carried away by his thoughts, a powerful energy presence erupted from where Lan Yu cultivated and shook the void.
A pure and holistic Immortal’s Core energy fluctuation with a hint of Buddist’s light scattered in all directions.
Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up. “This energy presence… It’s Lan Yu! She has completed her closed-door cultivation!”
Further away, a valiant-looking female with silver hair and armor headed straight toward Chu Kuangren; it was Lan Yu.
Lan Yu’s energy presence could already rival a Prodigy sky-pride, and the ultimate state of the Radiant War Immortal Physique emanated a powerful energy fluctuation. She was surrounded by Daoist patterns and dazzling Immortal Sparks as if she was an indomitable valkyrie.
“What a terrifying power! Is this the Honorable Supreme Immortal Physique’s Radiant War Immortal Physique? It’s really something else!”
“It’s astonishing!”
Cao Yu, Wang Chentian, and the other Heavenly Champions of the academy were awestruck by Lan Yu’s newly achieved ultimate-state Radiant War Immortal Physique.
They had a feeling that if Lan Yu was their opponent, they might not even last two to three moves.
“Congratulations, Sister Lan Yu.”
“Congratulations.”
The group gathered around her and congratulated her with fist salutes.
Chu Kuangren smiled. “Congratulations, Lan Yu.”
“It is all thanks to you, Master. I’m glad I didn’t waste the Sarira,” Lan Yu said.
Feeling the rush of energy in her body, a delightful smile appeared on Lan Yu’s face.
“Next, we’ll be going to Heavenly Celeste Star. The Sword Immortal’s Tomb has emerged, and I believe the ultimate state of your Radiant War Immortal Physique can be put to good use there.”
“Yes, Master.” Lan Yu nodded.
The appearance of the Sword Immortal’s Tomb attracted all the cultivators in Interstellar Arena. Everyone made their way to the planet as soon as possible.
Outside Heavenly Celeste Star, a figure in green robes arrived. His eyes were closed, and he had a bamboo stick in his hand. There was also a sliver of sword qi around him.
It was just a sliver, but it felt like it could tear the void apart.
“I can feel it. I can feel something calling me from this planet. It’s the resonance of the same physique! I heard a great sword cultivator possessing Green Leaf Sword Vision lies within this tomb. It seems like the rumor is true.”
The man was Ye Zhu, the strongest Heavenly Champion of the Three Clarity Daoist Sect.
The Immortal Physique that he possessed, which was the Green Leaf Sword Vision, was known as the strongest Immortal Physique of all Sword Dao.
However, he possessed the incomplete one, but even the incomplete version was enough to make him a Prodigy among the younger generation.
If he could somehow complete the Immortal Physique, his power would definitely reach new heights.
The thought put a smile on his face.
With that, his figure flashed and flew into Heavenly Celeste Star.
The other sky-prides arrived one after another following Ye Zhu’s entry.
At the other end of the galaxy, a warship arrived.
On top of the deck was a man with a black sword at his back. He emanated an immense demonic qi, so strong that it messed up the spiritual qi in the surroundings.
“It’s the strongest Heavenly Champion of the Sword Demon Tribe, Linghu Zun!”
“I heard he’s the rising star of the Demonic Dao Sect in the past two years. He has killed a lot of strong sky-prides with that demonic sword of his and even fought a Prodigy sky-pride before. They ended up in a draw. Even though he’s not yet a Prodigy, he should be near that level.”
The cultivators who recognized Linghu Zun were deterred by his presence.
People from the Demonic Dao Sects never followed the rules and always acted recklessly, which was why others resented them.
However, Linghu Zun’s power discouraged them. Despite their resentment toward him, they dared not voice their thoughts.
From the deck, Linghu Zun gazed upon all the other sky-prides with disdain. Then, he looked at Heavenly Celeste Star with a strong desire.
“I heard the senior of the Sword Demon Tribe lies in this tomb as well. If I can get it, I will be able to boost my status in the Demonic Dao Sects. I could even rise to the same level as Shi Tianxuan from the Sky Demon Tribe.”
Shi Tianxuan was the strongest sky-pride in all of the Demonic Dao Sects.
He reigned supreme in the Interstellar Arena with that demonic spear, and none had been able to rival him.
It had always been Linghu Zun’s goal to be as strong as Shi Tianxuan.
Then, a pleasant Brahmic Chime sounded.
Further away in the stars, a man in golden armor, surrounded by countless Daoist patterns, approached the planet by stepping on the golden lotus that generated the chime.
The man was basking in Buddhist Light, and solemn Brahmic Chimes sounded as he stepped forward.
He was the exact opposite of Linghu Zun, who possessed the intense demonic qi.
In addition to the chimes, the man wielded a sword, and the hilt displayed the icon of a golden lotus.
“Only the number one swordsman of the younger generation from the Buddhist world, Buddha’s Sword, can possess such energy presence,” Linghu Zun said.
Buddha’s Sword glanced at Linghu Zun. “A Demonic cultivator? You shall die!”
He unsheathed half his golden sword and launched a surge of sword qi at Linghu Zun.
The sword qi contained vigorous Buddhist Light, perfectly fusing destruction and mercy.
It felt strange, but it was a powerful attack.
Horrified, Linghu Zun reacted by swinging the black sword from his back.
The demonic qi he released shattered the Buddhist Light-infused sword qi.
Both attacks seemed equally matched, but Linghu Zun knew he already lost.
He unsheathed his entire sword, but Buddha’s Sword only unsheathed half of it.
Swoosh!
Several figures appeared from behind Linghu Zun and stared at Buddha’s Sword cautiously.
They were the top-tier sky-prides from Chiyou Tribe, Corpse-Refining Tribe, and more.
Buddha’s Sword furrowed his brows. “Oh, you’ve got help.”
He pondered over the situation for a moment.
Fighting Linghu Zun with that many helpers beside him would definitely drain his power, and he still had to explore the Sword Immortal’s Tomb for Opportunities of Fortune. If he wasted too much of his energy on Linghu Zun, it would only put him in a disadvantageous position once he entered the tomb.
The thought convinced him not to kill Linghu Zun now. Then, his figure flashed and headed down to Heavenly Celeste Star.
