Chapter 589 - 583: Sword Opens the Secret Realm! The Pale Gate!
Among the fourth-generation overlords of Cangming...
The [Sword Master] stands aloof, teaching the ways of the Sword Dao, leading the Human Race, commanding against natural calamities, traversing the cosmos with his flesh, breaking through the spatial wormhole between Cangming and Earth, exchanging for a vast amount of materials and technical data, and laying the foundation for the dominion of the Human Race.
The [Demon Son] is bold and brave. Rising from obscurity, he never accepted fate. Dancing with blades and singing amidst flames, he multiplied the Sword Master’s legacy a thousandfold and spread it across the world, his heroism soaring to the skies, using absolute force to subdue heroes and gather all schools for his use.
The [Lord of the Red Lotus] is domineering, not only walking his own path in an era where the extraordinary is extinct but also reunifying the chaotic map of Cangming. He extended the empire’s territory to encompass the entire Red Lotus Star System, rightly called the Eternal Emperor, his achievements rivaling those of the Sword Master and Demon Son.
All three are magnificent and upright, worthy of the rank of Master of One Star.
But as for the third-generation [Profound Immortal] Zhao Guanlan of Cangming Star...
Before today, whenever someone mentioned this person to Su Qiangwei, the first thing that would come to her mind were four words exuding black smoke and a sense of sinister malevolence — a Deceitful Villain!
Although in terms of strength and life level, Su Qiangwei stands at the pinnacle of Earth’s pyramid, rarely is there anyone who can compare with her. Yet, in terms of character and worldviews, she remains close to the common people.
The impression Zhao Guanlan left on Su Qiangwei is almost identical to the impression he left on the people of Earth (excluding Japan).
Because of this, until now, many people have only just realized that the term "Life Span Tax," besides being distasteful, harbors an unbelievable benefit.
It is almost synonymous with immortality!
However...
The one who possesses the technological capability of this is [Profound Immortal] Zhao Guanlan.
No matter how audacious a person may be, upon being tempted, they would only dare to indulge in idle fantasies, never truly daring to take action.
After all, exterminating entire families is as natural to Zhao Guanlan as having a meal or drinking water, not causing him the slightest psychological burden, as he considers it a joy and diversion in life.
This episode of "Swordsmanship Adventure" was initially hosted by Ma Ran; now, not only has the Sword Master appeared, but even the Profound Immortal has shown up. The three parties have reached a deal, thus resolving Ma Ran’s Superpower Erosion issue.
Su Qiangwei suddenly felt that the invisible burden on her shoulders lightened considerably. She instinctively activated her [Pandora] lunch box ability, retrieving a steaming bowl of century egg and lean pork congee from a storage space the size of a fingernail, paired with fried dough sticks, and sat beside Ma Ran, savoring it happily.
Coming back to her senses, she suddenly realized that this was not the occasion for eating.
However...
The [Martial God] is an important combat power within the Earth Guardian Organization, and the Superpower Erosion from [Myriad Transformations] is an extremely brutal and painful consumption of fat. In the face of overwhelming enemies, storing a bit of energy in advance should be understandable by everyone, right?
Swish!
The eyes of everyone present focused intently on Su Qiangwei.
Observing the girl revert to her old habits, the audience in the hall and the live broadcast could not help but hold their foreheads.
In such a solemn setting, she remains as unique as ever...
One can only say, as expected of her.
Feeling the gaze from everyone, Su Qiangwei blushed slightly and leaned towards Ma Ran, whispering secretly, "Hungry? I can get you a portion too."
If she managed to drag Ma Xiansheng into the water too, it wouldn’t be so embarrassing... right?
"No need."
Ma Ran squinted his eyes, taking two steps back with a look of polite refusal.
The originally tense atmosphere of the scene was suddenly eased considerably by Su Qiangwei’s small actions.
In any case...
Due to Su Qiangwei’s actions, the distant and almost non-human [Sword Master] and [Profound Immortal] suddenly seemed to become grounded in people’s minds.
The specific manifestations were that more people in the live broadcast discuss the appearances and presence of Lin Qiubai and Zhao Guanlan, while the number discussing the Double Star strategic partnership significantly decreased.
"Summarizing the Sword Master’s appearance and demeanor, he should get a perfect score of one hundred in ’charisma,’ comparable to the Prophet. As for the Profound Immortal, objectively speaking, ninety-nine."
"You may insult Zhao Guanlan’s character, but you cannot insult his looks!"
"No one said his appearance was bad; it’s just that his aura is too inhuman. You’re only brave enough to comment when in front of the camera; if truly facing Zhao Guanlan, you’d probably be scared into wetting your pants."
"Isn’t it already widely acknowledged? Of the eight buckets of evil in the Red Lotus Star System, Zhao Guanlan owns one, and the people of Cangming Star owe two buckets. Talking about character when discussing charm doesn’t make much sense!"
The live broadcast director, Li Xing, took a moment to glance at the bullet screen, his eyelids involuntarily twitching.
He recalled a joke circulating among the world’s extraordinary elite circles.
Question: What to do if you accidentally offend [Profound Immortal]?
Answer: Do you need to ask others about this? If I offended Zhao Guanlan, I’d just continue doing my thing without panic; just need to be more careful in the next life!
In the frame, Su Qiangwei was diligently devouring her congee and fried dough sticks, almost turning the global live broadcast into a food show.
After quickly finishing her food, the girl washed her hands and, as if nothing happened, glanced over the three real protagonists present.
The Sword Master, Profound Immortal, and Ma Ran.
The smile on Su Qiangwei’s face gradually faded.
Ma Ran managed to alleviate [God] Gray’s Superpower Erosion, and when speaking with Gray, his stature was obviously slightly higher.
If she could solve Ma Ran’s Superpower Erosion brought by [Foreknowledge] before Zhao Guanlan and Lin Qiubai, wouldn’t that mean...
[Martial God] > [Prophet] > [God]?
So, while feeling happy for her comrade, she also felt a bit lost.
However, this sense of loss didn’t last long before it was cast aside by Su Qiangwei.
Because...
The [Sword Master]’s decisive actions were as before.
Lin Qiubai began to act.
He pointed his fingers like a sword, gently sliding forward.
Fizzing...
Specks of ice-blue flames spread from his fingertips.
A cool and ethereal aura instantly filled the entire great hall.
The air seemed to shatter and crackle as if set aflame, and the barriers of the plane appeared to melt, refracting brilliant and dazzling seven-colored light.
Before everyone’s eyes, this brilliance gradually coalesced into the form of a gate of light.
In an instant, the seven-colored light gradually fused, and the hue turned pale.
"As you wished, this Secret Realm can accommodate twenty-five people."
Lin Qiubai gazed calmly at Ma Ran. "After one day, the Secret Realm will naturally collapse."
After speaking, he turned slightly, his gaze falling on Wan Haihao and Zhu Hanyi.
"The journey of cultivation is long and arduous."
"Do not slack off."
With these words, Lin Qiubai’s figure gradually faded, disappeared, blending into the wind as if he had never been there.
Only the pale great door standing in the hall proved that the [Sword Master] had ever been there.
