In the Sword Purification Pool.
Silver dragon coiled around.
This was a true dragon.
The huge body was covered with water, and the scales on its body shone with silver light. Sword Qi flickered within its sharp claws.
Pool of water was vaporized by the Sword Qi, forming a lead-grey heavy cloud in midair.
Roar!
Silver dragon raised its head, its dragon roar resounding through the clouds!
In that instant, torrential rain poured down!
Two silver eyes lit up. Through the misty rain curtain, they coldly looked down on everyone.
Thump!
A deacon's knees went limp as he knelt on the ground.
This was a pressure that came from the soul level. It was the submission of the Sword Qi in his body!
He said with a trembling voice, "Sword God… It's the God of Myriad Sword!"
Once these words were spoken, all the disciples and deacons knelt down, their expressions filled with reverence and fanaticism.
"Sword God!"
"Sword God has appeared!"
"Myriad Swords return to the Sect. Sword Qi turns into a dragon. This is a phenomenon only Sword Gods have!"
"Sword God Li!"
The platform was deathly silent.
Elders were shocked, unable to even close their mouths.
Second Elder swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice, "This Sword Purification Pool is the pure sword energy of the past generations, yet it can actually echo with Li Tiezhu?"
That was Emperor-level Sword Qi!
It contained boundless sword intent. Even at the peak of the Heavenly Tribulation realm, he had to retreat. Yet, it could be controlled by a mortal and even transform into a dragon.
What kind of terrifying talent did this require?
"This… I'm afraid to I can't do it!"
"Could she really be the reincarnation of the Sword God?"
"Only the legendary Sword God physique can affect the Emperor's sword intent!"
"What kind of disciple did the Sect Master take back?"
Chen Beihe's face darkened as he listened to the Elders' discussions.
From his perception, Li Tiezhu did not have any spiritual power at all. She was completely mortal.
But how could a mere mortal control such pure Sword Qi?
Could it really be a Sword God's body?
Chen Beihe gritted his teeth. "I didn't expect her to have such good fortune… Didn't I also help her?"
Just as he was filled with hatred, Li Ran slowly raised his head.
Two stared at each other.
That pair of silver-white eyes were cold and mocking, causing Chen Beihe's heart to jump, and he looked away in a somewhat unnatural manner.
Bad feelings in his heart grew stronger.
...
On the other side of the Sword Purification Pool.
Green-clothed woman hugged her shoulders and snorted. "This fellow actually benefited from disaster… Not bad luck."
Even though this was the case, corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Her smile was extremely brilliant.
Li Ran stood with his hands behind his back. The Sword Qi in his body surged and connected with the divine dragon beneath his feet as if it had become a part of his body.
His eyes were filled with surprise.
This silver dragon was not a phenomenon of the Sword Purification Pool but the fourth Dharma Idol that he had awakened!
After he fell into the water earlier, Emperor Rank's Sword Qi surged into his body, and it almost caused his body to explode.
In the end, he unexpectedly activated the Heaven Seizing Technique.
The little person in his dantian circulated at high speed, forcefully absorbing all the Sword Qi and merging it into a silver dragon tattoo.
At the same time, Li Ran obtained this dragon-shaped Dharma Idol!
Silver Dragon's entire body was made up of Sword Qi. Its eyes were filled with two balls of sword light, and its scales had boundless sword intent hidden within them. Its sharp claws flickered with Sword Qi!
Even in the space of a breath, strong winds whistled!
There was no need to test it at all. Li Ran could clearly sense the terrifying destructive power within its body.
This Sword Qi silver dragon was born for the sake of destruction!
Roar!
Following the roar of a dragon, its serpentine body soared into the sky and entered the dark clouds.
The silver figure moved through the clouds, its sharp claws crushing the lightning, and the air reverberated with a muffled rumbling sound.
Disciples knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling as they did not dare to raise their heads. Even the Elders felt their minds waver.
This was the ruler of sky, the over Lord of sky.
Roar!
The dragon's roar sounded again.
The storm gradually stopped, and the dark clouds slowly dispersed.
The silver dragon had already disappeared.
Under the bright sunlight, the water's surface was sparkling as if nothing had happened.
Under everyone's gaze, Li Ran's black hair fluttered, and his clothes fluttered as he slowly descended.
Sword Qi flickered beneath his feet as he stood with his hands behind his back.
Yue Jianli stared blankly at him, her eyes somewhat blank.
"Junior sister Li, you look like that bad guy…"
Especially those arrogant expressions. They were simply the same, yet their appearances were completely different.
She scratched her head in confusion, feeling that something was wrong.
At this time, Li Ran stepped on the surface of water, strolling towards the opposite shore.
Looking at this scene, the disciples were in a frenzy.
"Li Tiezhu, do your best!"
"Shut up! That's called Sword God Li!"
"She's about to reach the other side!"
"After the Sword Head, she is the number one person!"
Their expressions were excited as they let out bursts of cheers.
Watching this scene, Chen Beihe's face was so gloomy that it almost dripped like water.
....
Li Ran walked through the waves and through the mist, then he finally stepped onto the other shore.
In front of him was a huge wall with the word "sword" engraved on it, emitting a pure sword intent.
However, not only did he not feel that it was eye-piercing, he even had an extremely cordial feeling.
At this moment, a voice came from the side, "This is the blade of Myriad Sword Pavilion's first-generation sword. Only three people have seen it so far."
"Master?"
Hearing this, Li Ran turned around and saw Chu Lingchuan standing behind him.
Her eyes were a bit complicated, "Apart from the first sword head, I am the second, and you are the third."
If he wanted to see this sword character, he had to cross the Sword Purification Pool with his mortal body. Until now, only Chu Lingchuan had done it.
Li Ran, on the other hand, found another way to absorb all the Sword Qi.
Since there was no Sword Qi, how could there be a problem?
From today onwards, the word "sword" would be visible to everyone.
Chu Lingchuan rubbed the space between her brows, "It's fine if you come to see the liveliness, but you actually emptied the Sword Purification Pool?"
Without Emperor-level Sword Qi, the Sword Purification Pool was no different from an ordinary pool. Thus, it naturally lost the ability to test talent.
Even if she made a move, the Sword Qi would need to slowly settle down. This process would take at least a hundred years.
Li Ran scratched his head and said awkwardly, "I didn't do it on purpose…"
"Enough." Chu Lingchuan rolled her eyes at him and shook her head. "Sword Purification Pool, although it's a sect tradition, it's not the only way to judge talent."
"Since you're able to absorb Sword qi and awaken your Dharma Idol, there's a limit to what I can do."
"I… Ahem, I'm happy for you."
Only then did Li Ran relax. With a smile, he said, "Master, you are truly good to me."
Seeing that brilliant smile, Chu Lingchuan inexplicably blushed. She turned her head and said, "Defiant disciple, don't smile at me!"
....
At this moment, Li Ran thought of something and asked, "Right, Master, what about my special reward?"
Chu Lingchuan was stunned when she heard this, "Special reward?"
