Chapter 1644: Chapter 1644: Don’t Laugh Too Soon

It clearly felt like I was so close to the Sword Saint Realm, almost within reach, yet the barrier was like a paper lantern that breaks with one poke, but I just couldn’t break through.

Upon reflection, Han Yan vaguely guessed the reason. Relying on the Xuanhuang Stone and the assistance of the two powers of law, she reached the extreme limit of the Great Sword Master Peak in such a short time. To ascend to Sword Saint, the Heaven and Earth Power required would naturally be exceptionally massive, far exceeding that of other cultivators, and even the Heaven and Earth Power of the North Abyss Misty Plain couldn’t meet the demands.

If she could completely refine the Xuanhuang Stone, its power might assist her in the promotion, but her own strength was insufficient, perhaps due to the chaotic law of the North Abyss Misty Plain, she couldn’t completely refine it.

After asking Ye Lanfeng, Han Yan learned that he had completely refined the Xuanhuang Stone in the Heavenly Curtain at that time, which confirmed her previous guess.

It seems that only by entering the Heavenly Curtain could she complete the final breakthrough and ascend to the Great Sword Master Realm. As she gazed again at the light curtain piercing the heavens and earth, Han Yan’s eyes were full of anticipation.

Seeing the Heavenly Curtain right in front, and with no danger in sight, everyone’s nerves, tense for half a year, could finally relax. After the excitement passed, it was as if their spirit was emptied, each one sat on the ground, unwilling to move even a bit.

At this moment, multicolored light patterns appeared on the Heavenly Curtain, and vaguely, dreamlike faces emerged, some deep, some hearty, some indifferent, extremely blurry yet exuding a sense of transcendence.

What’s going on? Everyone was startled and all stood up in surprise.

"These are the Heavenly Curtain Divine Shadows, reportedly the inheritance of ancient strongmen projected between heaven and earth," Ye Lanfeng said.

"So this is the inheritance left by those strongmen!" Zhuang Ping’an and others were full of admiration.

"Let’s go, even if you’ve all awakened the Guardian of the Gods bloodline, accepting the inheritance of those strongmen isn’t easy; the appearance of the Heavenly Curtain Divine Shadows is the best opportunity," Ye Lanfeng continued.

Zhuang Ping’an and others knew well that awakening the bloodline didn’t mean inheriting the ancients’ legacy was assured, there might be danger, and opportunity was needed. Upon hearing it was the best time, they promptly gathered their spirits and followed behind Ye Lanfeng.

"It’s been over half a year, not a single person has arrived; are they all dead in the North Abyss Misty Plain? Hahaha!" Outside the Heavenly Curtain, a burly, rugged-faced young man laughed aloud.

Judging by the sword robe he wore, it was clear he was a disciple of the Holy Court, and his status was not low.

When he spoke, the six or seven other cultivators beside him showed anger. Unlike the young man’s clean and tidy sword robe, these people were all in ragged clothes, dusty-faced, and if you looked closely, you could tell from their worn sword robes that they were cultivators from the continent countries.

Furthermore, these people varied in age, the oldest looked well past sixty, while the youngest was only seventeen or eighteen.

Though they were visibly angry, they dared not say anything due to fear of the young man’s identity.

"Am I wrong? Even you lot of trash have arrived at the Heavenly Curtain, and yet they haven’t, even if they’re not dead, they’ve likely retreated. To think they cultivated on Holy Sword Peak for months, yet turned out to be worse than you!" Noticing their anger, the young man didn’t restrain himself, mocking even more recklessly.

"Shut your mouth, my brother Ping’an would never die or give up halfway!" A dignified young man couldn’t bear it any longer and shouted angrily.

"Right, my Junior Master Qinghe isn’t trash, with his strength he wouldn’t have incidents, let alone quit halfway." The seventeen or eighteen year old young man turned red with anger, shouting back.

These two were from the Xiqin and Beiqi countries, junior members of Zhuang Ping’an and Sang Qinghe, viewing them as idols, how could they tolerate such insults!

"Well then, tell me why even you trash have arrived at the Heavenly Curtain, yet they haven’t; where have they gone?" The burly Holy Court disciple mocked.

The two young men choked, rendered speechless by his questioning.

"I can’t comment on everyone, but I can guarantee that Han Yan must be delayed by something and will definitely come to the Heavenly Curtain," at this point, an elderly man with white hair asserted.

Among the others around, the youngest was seventeen or eighteen, the oldest barely past thirty; he alone was white-haired and wrinkled, a peculiar presence.

"Guarantee, what kind of guarantee? By your dubious god-man magic? Hahaha..." The young man sneered with mocking laughter.

"Brother Dan Tai, Brother Wei, it’s about time, how about opening the Barrier?" He disregarded everyone and urgently spoke to Dantai Changqing and Wei Xiaotian beside him.

"Brother Shao, let’s wait a bit longer." Dantai Changqing and Wei Xiaotian spoke in unison.

This young man was called Shao Chengxiong, one of the only five remaining Holy Court disciples.

"What are we waiting for? We’ve waited for half a year; have they perished in North Abyss Misty Plain, should we keep waiting?" Shao Chengxiong impatiently said, looking at the Heavenly Curtain Divine Shadows.

"They’re not so easily defeated." Dantai Changqing calmly replied.

"Brother Dan Tai, you’re holding them in too high regard." Shao Chengxiong sneered.

Then, as something crossed his mind, he indifferently added, "I get it, probably Master has high hopes for those losers, sending Ye Lanfeng with them."

He was in seclusion at the Heavenly Curtain, knowing nothing of Holy Court events; his guess was baseless but coincidentally accurate.

"No, Master indeed sent Ye Lanfeng with them, but instructed not to intervene unless absolutely necessary, nor offer any help, so considering the peril of North Abyss Misty Plain, it’s indeed tough for them to reach the Heavenly Curtain safely," Dantai Changqing shook his head.

Shao Chengxiong looked at Dantai Changqing in confusion, one moment saying the losers wouldn’t die easily, the next saying Ye Lanfeng wouldn’t intervene making their journey hard, what did he mean?

"We’re confident they’re not easily defeated, not because of Ye Lanfeng, but because of Han Yan," Wei Xiaotian gave the true answer.

"Han Yan?" Shao Chengxiong was slightly stunned, evidently not recalling who Han Yan was, after a while he dug out a bit of memory related to Han Yan and laughed heartily, "Hahaha, you’re talking about that squanderer of Anyun Mu Family, the one known as Heishi City’s top playboy, Han Yan, that waste?"
