Xiong Guansui refused to go in no matter what.

"What an idiot!" Chang Erliu, Ye Wu, and the others were all red-eyed with jealousy.

They all wished that Chu Feng had invited them instead.

Unfortunately, that's the amusing way the world works.

The people who want it can't get it, while those who don't want it have unexpected blessings.

"Come in!"

Chu Feng stormed out in anger, pulling her inside.

She knew that Chu Feng's heart had shattered, his life force was extinguished, and he could die at any moment. Thus, she dared not struggle to resist.

She could only let Chu Feng pull her along.

But as they reached the door, an invisible force slammed her back violently.

"Haha, two fools, missing such a great opportunity. I, the Chief Clerk, am destined to receive the Qiankun Sword Emperor's inheritance." Chief Clerk Feihong used a particularly powerful step technique divine skill.

With one step, he bypassed the obstructions of many experts and ghosts, appearing at the entrance of the mausoleum.

He laughed aloud as he rushed inside.

Bam! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

As he charged forward at great speed, his body was ejected even faster by an invisible force.

Screaming, he was thrown back.

Awaiting him were several extremely furious Ghost Kings who had just failed to stop him.

Chief Clerk Feihong was nearly scared to death.

At this time, Chu Feng's body became even weaker. He could scarcely see anything clearly anymore, vision blurring and seeing double.

"What's going on? Why can I enter the mausoleum unhindered while they all get ejected?" Chu Feng was puzzled as he instinctively walked into the mausoleum.

To prevent his corpse from being destroyed by Ye Wu after his death.

He figured the coffin inside the mausoleum was a fitting resting place. After all, no one else could enter the mausoleum, so naturally, they couldn't destroy his body.

As soon as Chu Feng walked in, the crimson Qian Sword rapidly flew over, circling around him.

Soon, a ray of nine-colored light burst from the coffin, enveloping Chu Feng entirely.

The mechanical door outside slowly began to close.

"Quick, rush in!"

Ye Yanying, Blind Chang, and others all risked everything, desperately charging toward the mechanical door.

In the end, their fates were the same without exception.

They were all ejected.

They could only watch helplessly as the mechanical door shut.

"All Ghost Kings, Ghost Generals, and Ghost Soldiers, hear my order: eliminate these people to ensure the Qiankun Sword Emperor's inheritor's safety."

Upon Granny Meng's command, the Ghost Kings and Ghost Generals launched their fiercest attacks on Ye Yanying and the others.

These experts were destined to serve as a foil to Chu Feng.

Even if they devised countless plans, they couldn't change the fact that Chu Feng was the chosen inheritor of the Immortal Tomb.

The others, without rightful claim, could only end in failure.

"You ghosts are seeking death!" Blind Chang, stop holding back. Give it your all to wipe out these ghosts. Strive to open the mausoleum's mechanical door again before Chu Feng gains the Sword Emperor's inheritance and charge inside."

Ye Yanying was the type of person who gambled madly.

Until the last moment, he would never give up, nor would he admit defeat.

...

Inside the mausoleum, after being enveloped by the radiance of nine colors, Chu Feng felt his life vanishing body, now warm and full of life.

Soon, he widened his eyes in shock.

"How is this possible? My life force is actually recovering bit by bit!"

Chu Feng initially thought he was certainly doomed.

But Xiong Guansui was right. The Qiankun Sword Emperor, a god-like existence, had foreseen everything.

He would never let his inheritor die so easily.

Chu Feng nearly wept with joy but contained his inner excitement, opened his mind, and fully cooperated with the nine-colored light group to restore his depleted life force.

In a blink, seven days had passed, and Chu Feng, like a dying old tree, sprouted new buds and grew again into a towering giant tree, vibrant with life.

Moreover, he felt that his lifespan had significantly increased compared to before.

He couldn't say exactly how long he could live.

At least a hundred thousand years was not a problem.

When Chu Feng's vitality was fully restored, he suddenly sensed an unprecedented profound Sword Intent. Extremely advanced.

Familiar in some ways, yet not fully understood.

His heart leaped with joy, knowing this must be the inheritance of the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill.

So he immediately sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and focused on comprehending the profound Sword Intent.

He didn't know how long he had been comprehending it?

Ten days? Ten months?

He only knew that this Sword Intent was very profound and extraordinarily mysterious. After understanding a trace, he was unable to resist being drawn in, layer by layer, gaining insight into more profound Sword Intent continuously.

For a Swordsmanship, the truly valuable part is not the moves but the Sword Intent.

It is the essence and spirit of the Swordsmanship.

When people practice Taiji Boxing, they often say some beginners only resemble the form but lack the spirit.

They're referring to the Fist Intent of Taiji Boxing.

The Heaven and Earth Sword Skill, being ranked the number one Immortal Sword Technique on the Divine Martial Continent, naturally has its outstanding qualities. It's even referred to as the source of Swordsmanship.

"Oh, is this tribulation energy?"

Chu Feng was shocked to discover two groups of tribulation energy swirling above his head.

One black, one white, like the Taiji diagram.

"Crossing Tribulation!"

He did not hesitate, choosing this moment to cross the tribulation.

The eighth tribulation, the Dark Tribulation, also known as the Yin Tribulation.

The ninth tribulation, the Light Tribulation, also known as the Yang Tribulation.

Together, they are called the Yin Yang Tribulation.

Chu Feng's process of crossing the tribulation was not particularly smooth. But ultimately, he persevered.

After he successfully overcame the two tribulations, his Sword Domain underwent significant changes.

At some point, his Sword Domain began having cycles of night and day. Yin and Yang could form reincarnation, marking the beginning of the evolution of heaven and earth.

The alternation of day and night seemed ordinary. Yet it could enable Chu Feng's Sword Domain to slowly evolve into reality.

The prerequisite of transitioning the Sword Domain from virtual to real is understanding Yin and Yang, making one's Sword Domain highly consistent with the real world.

All things in the world start from Yin and Yang. Life and death reincarnation is also Yin and Yang.

His cultivation finally rose to the Nine Tribulations Supreme Sword God Realm.

It counted as achieving his goal of entering the Immortal Tomb. Before entering, Chu Feng had been determined to find a way to advance to the Nine Tribulations Supreme Sword God Realm.

Now, not disappointing his expectations, he finally succeeded.

His heart was filled with joy.

After gaining the Sword Intent inheritance of the Qiankun Sword Emperor, he stood up and walked toward the coffin.

Respectfully, he knelt down, kowtowing three times to the coffin.

"Senior, if your spirit is in heaven, rest in peace. This young boy, Chu Feng, will surely carry forward your Swordsmanship inheritance." Chu Feng prayed.

A sudden change occurred just then.

Suddenly, the lid of the coffin slammed open, and a corpse inside rose up. One of its hands pressed down towards Chu Feng's head.

Chu Feng was utterly terrified, thinking that the Qiankun Sword Emperor's corpse had transformed.

However, before he could resist, a deep, authoritative voice sounded.

"Don't move! Cease resistance and accept the Emperor's inheritance!"

A vague apparition appeared within the coffin. It was possibly an exceptionally charismatic middle-aged man.

Upon seeing the man, Chu Feng immediately had a peculiar feeling of admiration from the depths of his heart, filled with the desire to worship him.

"Who are you?"

Chu Feng was still somewhat scared.

If the Qiankun Sword Emperor's corpse indeed transformed, taking advantage of his non-resistance to kill him, what then?

A large hand was already pressing on his head, cold, hard, and exceptionally heavy.

It clearly belonged to a corpse.

The Qiankun Sword Emperor's corpse was the body of an Immortal. So many years had passed, yet there was no sign of decay.

"Ah..."

Chu Feng suddenly felt waves of overwhelming energy, mixed with countless information streams, flooding into his mind and body.

He had only just advanced to the Nine Tribulations Supreme Sword God Realm.

Receiving this empowerment immediately stabilized his realm.

Moreover, as he slowly digested and absorbed those informational streams into his brain, he was pleasantly surprised to realize they were all moves of the Qiankun Sword Skill, and it was an Immortal Level Swordsmanship.
