The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

Chapter 1587: Chapter 1587: Sword Tomb, Indestructible Sword Body

"Let the test begin!"

Huo Yunjie said, looking up at the towering peak where the Sword Tomb was located, feeling so small. He immediately thought that the master of the Sword Tomb must be an Ancient Immortal Emperor beyond the thirty-third layer, incredibly powerful.

Clang! Clang!

The Ruthless Sword and Emotional Sword vibrated again, producing a pleasing sword hum, resonating with the nearby swords.

"The Sword Tomb’s test is simple: you must find the master’s inheritance yourself and comprehend it. Only by doing so can you pass the test."

"The loser, leave your sword behind!"

The voice sounded once again.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yunjie stood in place, surprised that this was the content of the test, so he asked, "Is there a time limit for this test?"

"No." The mysterious voice echoed continuously over the Sword Tomb.

Huo Yunjie nodded, "No time limit, that’s a piece of good news."

With that, he walked through the Sword Tomb. As he passed by a Bronze Sword, it suddenly trembled and emitted a voice like that of a child.

"Master, don’t leave me behind!"

The other swords heard the voice and also began to tremble, emitting pleading voices, some wailing, some hoping Huo Yunjie would take them away, and others wishing Huo Yunjie could kill their master.

"Feeling a bit dizzy!"

Huo Yunjie realized that ever since he heard the heartfelt voices of these swords, he felt agitated. He immediately judged that these swords were trying to interfere with him passing the test.

"Get away from me!"

Huo Yunjie shouted, and powerful Ruthless Sword Intent erupted, sweeping out like countless waves, causing the nearby swords to whimper and dare not make a sound.

After the surroundings quieted down, he continued onward.

Half a day later.

Huo Yunjie finally climbed to the mountain top, discovering there was only a single dust-covered sword here, with no other swords within a ten-meter radius.

"A sword at the fifteenth-layered Immortal Emperor level."

He made a quick judgment.

With a buzz, the sword trembled violently, the dust on its surface completely falling off, revealing a light gold blade covered in array patterns, and its aura began to surge.

Twentieth-layered Immortal Emperor, thirtieth-layered Immortal Emperor, thirty-third-layered Immortal Emperor... Fortieth-layered Immortal Emperor!

When this sword revealed its full aura, it erupted with a pressure that made Huo Yunjie unable to move, directly pinning him in place.

"So powerful!"

Huo Yunjie gripped the Ruthless Sword and Emotional Sword, sticking them into the ground to support himself, preventing the strong aura from forcing him face-down on the ground.

"This should be the Sword Tomb master’s sword. His cultivation level should also be at the fortieth-layered Immortal Emperor."

Huo Yunjie’s expression grew more serious.

Now being suppressed by the sword intent, how should he comprehend the Sword Tomb master’s inheritance?

Isn’t this bullying an honest person?

The more Huo Yunjie thought about it, the angrier he became.

But soon, his eyes glimmered, a smile tugging at his lips, "Isn’t this sword itself the master’s inheritance? Directly comprehending the sword intent law within might allow me to break through."

Saying so, he closed his eyes to comprehend.

Clang!

The sword continued to tremble, sending out powerful waves of sword qi, nearly causing Huo Yunjie to lose his grip on the Ruthless Sword and Emotional Sword.

"Such domineering sword intent!"

Huo Yunjie was about to exclaim, but found his body beginning to disintegrate, unable to hold the Ruthless Sword and Emotional Sword, causing them to shake violently and emit whimpering sounds.

"How could this be!"

He was shocked and dismayed.

Before Huo Yunjie could think of a countermeasure, he discovered he could no longer hold onto the Ruthless Sword and Emotional Sword, which the domineering sword intent sent flying, wedging into a crack in the rocks halfway up the mountain.

"It’s over!"

Huo Yunjie’s breathing stopped, sensing danger.

The next moment, his body disintegrated faster, the outer layer turning into flying ash, leaving behind crystalline bones, with the life force within also dissipating.

"Is this going to kill me? Look at you, the loser not only leaves the sword behind but also forfeits their life—truly a killer Sword Tomb!"

Huo Yunjie understood everything.

But it was too late.

"So you found out."

An old, hoarse voice sounded.

Huo Yunjie looked up to see the elderly caretaker of the Sword Tomb appear before him, emanating a powerful fortieth-layered Immortal Emperor aura.

This person was the Sword Tomb Master.

Huo Yunjie asked solemnly, "Is the old man at the mountain’s base your avatar, or your true self?"

The Sword Tomb Master laughed, "That’s just an ordinary Immortal Venerable watching over the Sword Tomb for me, not my avatar, nor my true self."

Huo Yunjie asked puzzledly, "Then why do you look exactly the same?"

The Sword Tomb Master said, "I am the Faceless Person, capable of becoming anyone, even you."

Saying this, his appearance changed, becoming identical to Huo Yunjie.

"You can’t be me!"

Huo Yunjie gritted his teeth. Although only bones remained, preventing any facial expressions, his face would surely have been filled with anger.

"Of course I’m not you, but you should really thank you foolish testers because by devouring you, I grow stronger."

The Sword Tomb Master said with a laugh.

He then picked up the golden sword at fortieth-layered Immortal Emperor level and pierced through Huo Yunjie’s chest.

"You... will die a terrible death!"

Huo Yunjie cursed angrily.

"A mere thirty-third layered Immortal Emperor. Once I devour your power, I’ll take your form and venture into the outside world to see how the world has changed."

The Sword Tomb Master looked around.

"In your dreams to kill me!"

Huo Yunjie’s skeleton suddenly glowed, casting an ancient secret technique that instantly restored his flesh, temporarily breaking the Sword Tomb Master’s repression. The Ruthless Sword and Emotional Sword returned to his side, grasped again.

"Huh, what’s happening?"

The Sword Tomb Master was surprised.

"Twin Swords United, end your wretched life!"

Huo Yunjie roared, bringing his hands together. The Ruthless Sword and Emotional Sword fused, executing the Ultimate Sword Drawing Technique, slashing out a terrifying sword beam.

"Such an intense sword qi!"

The Sword Tomb Master retreated quickly, but still had an arm severed, eyes full of astonishment.

"A mere thirty-third layered Immortal Emperor, yet able to unleash such a formidable blow. Your background is unusual, and I’m more interested in your origins now."

Saying this, the Sword Tomb Master’s severed arm regrew, grabbing Huo Yunjie’s neck, violently twisting to shatter his soul.

"Huh, truly weak."

The Sword Tomb Master let go, and Huo Yunjie’s body fell lifelessly to the ground.

...

In the Microcosm.

Huo Yunjie discovered he was regaining consciousness, looking up to find Ye Feng sitting under the tall Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree, smiling at him.

"Yun Jie, congratulations, you died."

Ye Feng teased.

"I died?" Huo Yunjie was shocked and noticed his body was no longer physical, finally realizing he truly died, filled with disbelief.

"Yes, you died, but it’s okay. Being dead and resurrected allows you to condense the Indestructible Sword Body, which is good news. Otherwise, why would I congratulate you?"

Ye Feng explained with a smile.

"Sect Master Uncle, can you revive me?"

Huo Yunjie felt joy pouring in.

"Of course I can." Ye Feng took out the Sect Name Register, channeling the Force of Creation and Life Origin to reignite Huo Yunjie’s name, "Go now, with the power of the Indestructible Sword Body, you can defeat the Sword Tomb Master."

The next moment.

Huo Yunjie found himself regaining consciousness, looking up to see the Sword Tomb Master once more.

A round Immortal Halo appeared above his head.

His life force erupted instantly.

"I’m alive!"

Huo Yunjie took a breath, sensing the peril ahead.

[Good night!]
