I Am Loaded with Passive Skills-Chapter 3426 - 1699: The 2nd Generation Sword Deity Seeks No.7, My Friend Fears Not Yuegong Qi

Dawn breaks, the sun burns faintly.

The Shengshen Continent welcomes a brand new day.

This day is no different from usual, but if it must be given meaning... Feng Zhongzui gazes into the dawn light, eyes revealing melancholy:

"The sun has risen."

"The Seven Sword Deity list should be sealed."

Yes, the new battle of the Seven Sword Deities has reached its final moment of ranking.

Originally, on the last day, everyone hoped that some dark horse could charge into the top of the list and change the pattern.

Many favored Gu Qingyi...

Most believed he was the rightful new representative of the Burial Sword Tomb’s ancient swordsmen.

After all, if Gu Qinger could make it to the list, then Gu Qingyi should definitely succeed.

But it was heard that after Gu Qingyi went into seclusion and headed south to the Land of Sin, on a stormy night, he sat at the Wind Listening Pavilion, one of the three great places in the Feng Family Mansion, holding the Demonic Sword Yuelian, listening to the cold wind, without drawing his sword.

Others favored the Transformation Division Chief Xi...

From various clues and even from a couple of background perspectives of the Dao Imparting Mirror, one could see the half-saint "Hell’s Lord White Sin."

Xi’s Phantom Swords Technique skills were undoubtedly profound.

Even if paired with Beibei, it’s unknown who would win.

More so, it was revealed that Xi’s Phantom Swords Technique was inherited from the previous generation’s Seven Sword Deity, Hua Changdeng, making Beibei next door green with envy.

But the chaos on the Sacred Mountain has not ended, and Xi could not leave the cage of Sacred Mountain Gui Zhe from start to finish; his talents had no place to show, rendering him a mere backdrop.

If people were to focus more closely...

One of the Two Elders from the initial Seven Sword Deity list, Senior Yang Xizhi, also faced a seemingly ordinary challenge this night.

The challenger was named Xiao Qixiu, and the battle occurred on a low mountain in the Southern Region where no one paid attention, lasting all night.

Now, no one paid attention to the Sword Deities outside of Lord Shou.

Who else would care about these minutiae?

It seemed like an experimental battle, an isolated duel, whose final result wasn’t even revealed as to who won or lost.

It was just before dawn that Elder Yang returned to the Feng Family, voluntarily retired, and withdrew from the Seven Sword Deity ranking battle.

It was as if leaving a spot for successors; he didn’t die but gave up his name.

Logically, with Elder Yang’s withdrawal, the last challenger should naturally ascend, considered victorious.

Yet in the verdict of the Sword Pagoda, "Xiao Qixiu" was found nowhere and didn’t make the Seven Sword Deity rankings.

Sealed list!

The previous generation of Seven Sword Deities had a later comer Bazhun’an, making the Seven Sword Deities into eight.

This generation of Seven Sword Deities, with Elder Yang voluntarily withdrawing, became six.

At dawn, even though the chaos on the Sacred Mountain hadn’t ended, Feng Zhongzui received the results from the old family head.

After all, this was the most significant event for the ancient sword cultivation circle.

"Two generations of Sword Deities pursue without seven, Xu Xiaoliu comes to Gu Beixi."

Feng Zhongzui got the result but was stunned instead of announcing it immediately.

It was so dramatic!

Clearly called "Seven Sword Deities," yet with eight before and six after, failing to form a complete "seven."

"Is it the wrong time?"

Feng Zhongzui even questioned the timing of the Sword Pagoda’s selection of this new generation of Seven Sword Deities.

A lot happened in this month, and many battles of the Sword Deities took place.

But what truly made an impression on him...

Besides the opening where Lord Shou challenged three Great Swords, Gu Yu, Li Fuyu, and Beibei, only the ultimate Lord Shou’s climb to the Sacred Mountain remained.

This latter event wasn’t even part of the Sword Deity battles, yet it occupied the entire field of the Dao Imparting Mirror.

Feng Zhongzui realized that perhaps it wasn’t the Sword Pagoda’s timing that was wrong, but the problem lay with that person.

Lord Shou!

If we view the ancient sword cultivation as a water wheel that could reignite the progress of five-region civilization on the river of time...

When this water wheel operates normally...

Gu Qingyi should have drawn his sword, and Xi should have shone brightly; even the obscure Xiao Qixiu might have become famous across the five regions.

Feng Zhongzui even had hope for his friend Xiao Wanfeng.

He always felt Xiao Wanfeng was odd, giving a contradictory feeling of strong and weak.

He was like a famed sword self-concealed, Feng Zhongzui even waited for the last night when Xiao Wanfeng would suddenly unravel, if possible.

But when Lord Shou ascended the mountain.

He single-handedly stopped the water wheel.

He altered the intended normal course of history on the river of time.

He forcefully focused the world’s spotlight on himself, diverting the fame that should belong to the "Seven Sword Deities" all onto the "Number One Sword Deity."

Such things had happened before.

The previous generation’s "Eighth Sword Deity" had reversed the fortune of the Seven Sword Deities from a later generation’s perspective.

But that was from later generations!

At least that generation of Seven Sword Deities was complete and renowned.

This generation met with a great variable like Lord Shou, who almost irrationally fought, changing everything that was supposed to follow the proper order.

But it seems...

It may be correct?

Feng Zhongzui looked towards Lord Shou, who wasn’t far ahead and still changing the course of history, pondering.

"Two generations of Sword Deities pursue without seven, Xu Xiaoliu comes to Gu Beixi."

He once again confirmed with the old family head about the list of the new generation Seven Sword Deities after sealing, focusing on the character "Xi."

Who is Xi?

Feng Zhongzui earnestly hoped that this "Xi" was a mistake by the Sword Pagoda, replacing what should have been written as "Xi" with "Xi."

It is not.

The Sword Pagoda would not give the wrong result.

The old family head’s reply wasn’t unforeseen.

Xi is not meant to refer specifically to anyone, nor does it inherently possess any meaning.
