In a moment, Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan once again stepped into an inner hall.

The wisp of remnant soul reappeared in front of Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan.

"It's rare to see two Sword Dao geniuses meeting the inheritance conditions arrive here simultaneously. Before you start the final trial, I must remind you, like the Sword Array, this trial carries the risk of death. Are you truly prepared?"

"If someone voluntarily withdraws, can they be exempt from the final trial?"

Raising her eyebrow slightly, Luo Qingxuan suddenly asked.

"No!"

The remnant soul answered lightly, "However, if you wish to give up, you can still quit now."

In fact, even the Sword Array was not mandatory; if someone didn't want to take the risk, they could choose not to enter.

On this point, the Yijian Sect indeed did not exert any coercion.

However, giving up naturally also means relinquishing more opportunities. Just like the previous Sword Array, although it was dangerous, if you didn't venture into the Sword Array, there would be no chance of seizing the Divine Sword!

The same is true now; to obtain the complete inheritance and truly occupy this relic, one must also pass this final trial.

"When two people take the trial simultaneously, what will happen to the one who fails?" Wang Junze asked after a moment of contemplation.

If it's the kind of brutal trial where only one person could survive, he wouldn't be able to take it simultaneously with Luo Qingxuan, as he certainly didn't want to face life and death with her.

"Once someone passes the trial, the array will naturally dissipate."

Hearing this, Wang Junze finally felt at ease, slightly cupping his fist, he spoke, "In that case, I am willing to try!"

"Let's compete then!"

With a light laugh, Luo Qingxuan also spoke.

Hearing this, the remnant soul said no more. With a slight point of its fingertip, the surrounding space transformed again, simultaneously sweeping Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan into the array!

Boom!

Almost at the same time, Wang Junze suddenly felt a vast Sword Intent!

No, it wasn't just one, to be precise, countless terrifying Sword Intents came rushing at him!

Instinctively raising his head, Wang Junze only then discovered that he seemed to have stepped into a sword grave, countless Treasure Swords were inserted into the ground, forming a Sword Mountain!

If observed carefully, one would find that this Sword Mountain's shape is very similar to the Sword Platform outside!

No further reminder was needed; the moment he saw the Sword Mountain, Wang Junze understood that the final trial was about Ascending Sword Mountain!

As long as he ascended the Sword Mountain, he would pass this final trial.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Junze gave a slight twist of his wrist, and the Profound Ice Sword was in his grip, displaying the first form of Chess Swordsmanship, Initiate the Game!

Soon, Wang Junze found that here, the power of the Profound Ice Sword seemed to be sealed as well, unable to release the power of the Divine Sword itself, it could only be used as a common Treasure Sword.

However, Wang Junze wasn't surprised by this, as indeed, if one could rely on the might of the Divine Sword in such a trial, it would seem a bit too easy.

Simultaneously, Wang Junze took a step forward, directly onto Sword Mountain!

However, as Wang Junze stepped onto the first sword on Sword Mountain, a figure immediately appeared beside him, slightly bowing towards him.

Wang Junze's eyelids twitched slightly, and he reacted instantly.

On this Sword Mountain, each sword corresponds to a disciple of the Yijian Sect. To ascend Sword Mountain, one must accept the challenges from these Yijian Sect disciples, only by winning all the way, can one ascend Sword Mountain!

Although these Yijian Sect disciples were transformed by the array, their strength was absolutely not weak, this was definitely an extremely terrifying challenge!

Vaguely, Wang Junze had a feeling that when the Yijian Sect was still around, these disciples obtained their inheritance in this manner.

"Buzz!"

As these thoughts spun in his mind, the Yijian Sect disciple formed from Sword Intent had already made the first move, stabbing towards Wang Junze.

However, like the Ice Sculptures of the previous Sword Array, the Realm of the disciple formed from Sword Intent was the same as Wang Junze's, merely Condensing Realm.

But unlike the Ice Sculptures, the disciple's moves formed from Sword Intent were extremely agile, as if the opponent had truly come to life and was competing with Wang Junze!

In an instant, Wang Junze exchanged more than ten moves with the opponent!

Yes, even now, Wang Junze faced the disciple formed from Sword Intent, exchanged ten moves, and then defeated their form, winning this battle!

And this was merely the first step on Sword Mountain!

Looking up at Sword Mountain, even Wang Junze couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.

This Sword Mountain stood several hundred meters high. If each step meant facing a Yijian Sect disciple's challenge, how many battles would it take?

However, at this point, Wang Junze had no way out.

Raising his head, Wang Junze took another step, onto the second sword!

Sure enough, immediately another Sword Intent transformed into human form, bowing towards Wang Junze, then once again actively attacking.

On the other side, Luo Qingxuan's encounter was roughly the same as Wang Junze's!

Yet, although the Sword Mountain was the same, on the Sword Mountain Luo Qingxuan stepped on, most swords had no reaction, but once a Sword Intent transformed into a Yijian Sect disciple, the opponent's cultivation also reached the Heaven-Stepping Realm!

Don't think that Luo Qingxuan faced fewer challenges, thus making it easier.

In reality, it's quite the opposite.

These disciples formed from Sword Intent were not fictional, each one was a famous disciple of the Yijian Sect back then!

In any Sect, when one's cultivation is low, everyone's overall strength and skills are less, but once the cultivation improves, the strength soars!

The Condensing Realm is almost equivalent to Outer Disciples, though numerous, most talents and strengths are not strong, easily defeated.

But once the cultivation enters Heaven-Stepping, each can be considered a genius, naturally making it much harder to defeat such geniuses.

Moreover, the most crucial point was that Wang Junze had previously obtained the inheritance of Chess Swordsmanship, making him more familiar with these Yijian Sect disciple's moves, while Luo Qingxuan had to rely entirely on her strength to fight!

Time slowly passed.

Wang Junze had already successively defeated more than ten opponents, while Luo Qingxuan just defeated the first disciple.

However, if looking at the height both were at on Sword Mountain, they were roughly the same.

Furthermore, as they continued upward, the strength of the opponents both encountered continually increased as well.

Although absolute fairness was impossible, in essence, it still followed a fairly equitable principle.

Just like the previous Sword Array, both Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan were in independent array spaces and couldn't see the other's progress.

Thus, naturally, no one dared to be careless, only fighting with all their might.
