Chapter 2144: 900, Junior Brother Han Muye of the Palm Peak
 

Han Muye’s words brought complete silence to the entire cave.

All those holding swords stood frozen in place.

The young man standing in front of Han Muye shivered all over.

His sword slowly lifted, the blade pointing at Han Muye, teeth clenched, “Say that again.”

“Zhang Mingyuan, I have Peak Master Guo Hua’s last words,” Han Muye spoke again.

Last words.

Peak Master Guo Hua was truly dead.

Han Muye’s words turned the expressions on everyone’s faces in the cave to grief.

The young man named Zhang Mingyuan trembled with his sword, muttering under his breath, “Impossible, impossible…”

His sword jolted as he lunged at Han Muye.

“Clang——”

The two three-foot-long swords collided, and Zhang Mingyuan’s was sent flying.

This scene once again left everyone stunned.

Zhang Mingyuan was a proud disciple of Peak Master Guo Hua; his sword cultivation was ranked among the top five among the younger generation of the All-Encompassing Sword Sect.

How could Han Muye, who appeared to be about their age, fling Zhang Mingyuan’s sword with a single strike?

“Who the hell are you, and why do you have my master’s sword?” he said, “He’s dead, you recognize me, you…”

Zhang Mingyuan stared at Han Muye, gripping his hand that had been numbed by the shock.

The others were also thrown into confusion.

Could it be that the man before them was from the All-Encompassing Peak?

Otherwise, how could he recognize Zhang Mingyuan?

“I am the last disciple taken by Peak Master Guo Hua before his death,” Han Muye continued, “He entrusted me with the Lu Yue Sword, instructing me to expand the Moon-Encompassing Peak’s legacy.”

Han Muye held the sword horizontally in front of him, speaking indifferently.

A new disciple?

Expand the Moon-Encompassing Peak’s legacy?

Wasn’t that nonsense?

“A new disciple? How can you recognize me?” Zhang Mingyuan simply didn’t believe it.

Nobody else believed it either.

“You are Zhang Mingyuan, Peak Master Guo Hua’s chief disciple. Outsiders only know you as being at the peak of the Initial Knowing Realm, but in fact, you have already entered the Dao Realm,” Han Muye’s words caused Zhang Mingyuan’s expression to change once again.

His cultivation level was concealed by Peak Master Guo Hua, and only Peak Master Guo Hua knew about this!

“And you, you are the master’s second disciple, Yu Shaogang, at the peak of the Initial Knowing Realm. Your swordsmanship has already developed its own artistic conception, and you are one step away from the Seeking Dao Realm.”

“You are called Wang Yun, the fifth disciple of the master. You practice the Rainbow Encompassing Sword Technique, Cloud Wave Triple Stack.”

Han Muye clearly stated the names and cultivation features of everyone in the cave.

As an incarnation of the Lu Yue Sword in Guo Hua’s hands, he was familiar with everyone from Moon-Encompassing Peak.

What he said now was accurate to the last detail.

“Peak Master Guo Hua instructed me before he died to take good care of you all,” Han Muye said calmly.

In the Great Pantheon Plane, cultivation realms start from the Initial Knowing Realm, followed by the Dao Realm.

The Seeking Dao Realm, Entering Dao Realm, Dao Breaking Realm, Dao Extinguishing Realm – the Dao Realm cultivation continues until reaching the Extreme Dao Realm’s pinnacle, which bestows one with overwhelming combat strength.

Above the Dao Realm are the Origin, Qian Kun, Yin Yang, and Life and Death, each of these realms radiant with their own supernatural powers.

Above the realm of Life and Death are Heaven’s Secret, comprehend karma, cycle of reincarnation, and Dominion.

Han Muye’s incarnation was at the Half-Step Dominator Realm.

Guo Hua was known to have surpassed other strong practitioners of the All-Encompassing Sword Sect in terms of cultivation and combat strength. His cultivation was only at the Dao Breaking Peak, a single step away from the Dao Extinguishing Realm.

If he could have reached the Dao Extinguishing Realm, he might not have died so easily, his path obliterated.

According to Han Muye, the path of cultivation on the Great Pantheon Plane wasn’t much different from other planes; it’s just that its Origin was stable, and to invoke the powers of heaven and earth, engendering divine power, one needed higher cultivation.

Once one possessed the divine power, they were considered a powerhouse in their domain.

Once again, the cave fell into silence.

The disciples of Moon-Encompassing Peak under Guo Hua had trouble believing it, yet they couldn’t help but to believe.

The secrets Han Muye spoke of—unless said by Guo Hua himself, outsiders would definitely not know them.

Especially the cultivation abilities of several proud disciples, which were quietly concealed by both Guo Hua and the disciples themselves.

“It is rumored that above the Dao Realm, there exists means to reverse life and death, to snatch bodies for rebirth…” A disciple standing in the back suddenly whispered quietly.

His words made everyone startle, looking up at Han Muye.

Could it be that the person before them was the reincarnation of their master?

The rumors of body snatching, although merely hearsay, were indeed within the capabilities of Core Formation cultivators. Their master’s cultivation wasn’t close to above the Dao Realm, but couldn’t it be that he had such an opportunity?

The crowd exchanged looks, finding it difficult to decide at the moment.

“What, do you want to just watch the position of the sect master of the All-Encompassing Sword Sect get snatched away by All-Encompassing Peak, and then see the momentum of Moon-Encompassing Peak get suppressed?”

“Or are you really willing to let the Sword Dao inheritance of Moon-Encompassing Peak end right here?”

The end of Moon-Encompassing Peak’s inheritance was Guo Hua’s greatest regret.

Ensuring the inheritance of the All-Encompassing Peak thrived was the commitment of everyone in Moon-Encompassing Peak for many years.

Zhang Mingyuan clenched his teeth, staring at Han Muye.

“Can you make our Moon-Encompassing Peak’s Sword Dao inheritance thrive and prosper?”

Han Muye slowly stood up, raised his hand, and with a stroke of his sword edge, a wave of sword Qi sent Zhang Mingyuan’s fallen three-foot-long sword spinning back to him.

Zhang Mingyuan reached out to catch the long sword, looking at Han Muye.

“You practice the Jade Void Swordsmanship that Peak Master Guo Hua comprehended, totaling sixty-three forms, of which you have proficiently mastered the first thirty-six.”

“This is the sword technique you take the most pride in.”

Han Muye pointed forward with his long sword, his voice calm.

At this moment, Zhang Mingyuan, holding his sword, did not reply.

Everything Han Muye said was true.

“In fact, the Jade Void Swordsmanship has far more than sixty-three forms, and the principles of the sword contained within it are not all about conjuring nothingness.”

“You and Peak Master Guo Hua have taken a deviation in your approach. With such a sword technique, it is impossible to breach above the Dao Realm.”

As soon as Han Muye’s words fell, Zhang Mingyuan’s expression darkened, but before he could speak, Han Muye’s sword edge had already swept towards him.

This move was clearly one of the techniques from Zhang Mingyuan’s own Jade Void Swordsmanship, Cloud Unfurling and Wind Rolling.

Zhang Mingyuan instinctively raised his sword to parry, but struck only air.

Han Muye’s sword edge seemed to become nothingness before his own sword, passing through space to touch his shoulder.

No sooner had the sword edge touched him than Han Muye’s figure vanished.

“Ling Xu Sword Control!” Zhang Mingyuan exclaimed in a low voice, his sword sweeping around him.

Yet again, his sword cut through nothing.

He looked up to see the sword edge less than three inches from the top of his head.

Han Muye descended from the air, shaking his head. “Your talent in the Sword Dao is passable, but your application of the Sword Principle is still too superficial.”

Zhang Mingyuan’s face showed a play of emotions.

Those two moves were clearly from the Jade Void Swordsmanship, yet he couldn’t fend off even one.

His master had once said that if one could delve deeper into the inherited sword techniques of Moon-Encompassing Peak, they could absolutely dominate all directions.

Zhang Mingyuan thought his sword cultivation had been not too shabby, but now he realized he was far, far behind.

“Zhang Mingyuan pays respect to the Sword Caretaker junior brother.”

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Mingyuan bowed deeply in respect.

The others exchanged glances, then followed suit, bowing: “We pay respect to the Sword Caretaker junior brother.”

Han Muye’s prowess in the Sword Dao and his understanding of them all forced them to believe that he was indeed the one Peak Master Guo Hua recognized as the Sword Caretaker of Moon-Encompassing Peak.

Besides, the Moon-Encompassing Peak did indeed need a true powerhouse to sustain it.

Han Muye waved his hand dismissively and sheathed his sword, his expression indifferent as he walked outside.

“Follow me to return Peak Master Guo Hua’s sword bones to their rightful place.”

Zhang Mingyuan and the others followed, their expressions solemn and tinged with sorrow, as they left the cave.

Half a day later, sword light flashed, streaking towards the distance.

That direction was towards the All-Encompassing Sword Sect.
