2585 Farewell
"Who else wants to challenge?"
Yun Ting wielded the Divine Firmament Sword. Although he expended a lot of energy, his body was still sharp as he surveyed his surroundings like lightning.
The cultivators who were cheering for Qin Gu and Zong Feiyu earlier on no longer spoke.
If even Qin Gu and Zong Feiyu were dead and injured, which other cultivator on the Heaven Ranking Prediction would dare to challenge these two?
Who knew if the two of them had any other tricks up their sleeves?
A moment later, no one dared to step forward!
Yun Ting turned around and looked at Immortal King Qing Yang in the middle of the hall, declaring, "Immortal King Qing Yang, you can announce the Rank 1 and 2 of the Heaven Ranking this time round."
Immortal King Qing Yang smiled gently and nodded. "That's good as well. Rank 1 of the Heaven Ranking has to convince the masses. Since nobody has any objections, I'll announce now that the Rank 1 of the Heaven Ranking this time round is Su Zimo of Heaven and Earth Academy. Rank 2 is Yun Ting of the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom!"
"The other battles for the Heaven Ranking shall proceed as per normal."
Su Zimo and Yun Ting walked down the gigantic stone battlefield.
Yun Ting flipped his palm and took out a withered yellow ancient scroll, tossing it in Su Zimo's direction.
Su Zimo swept his gaze and recognized it right away.
This ancient scroll was made from the same materials as the manuals of the Heaven and Earth Slaying Sword Arts in his storage bag!
Furthermore, although the ancient scroll looked calm, it was actually extremely sharp.
The Human Slaying Sword Art!
Su Zimo reached out and received the ancient scroll.
One of the most important goals for them to challenge one another was to fuse the three great sword arts into one.
This was what Yun Ting had to offer if he lost to Su Zimo.
It was the same for the other way round.
Given Yun Ting's character, there was naturally no way he would break his promise.
After receiving the Human Slaying Sword Art, Su Zimo pondered for a moment and took out two other withered yellow ancient scrolls from his storage bag, tossing them to Yun Ting.
Su Zimo said, "These are the Heaven and Earth Slaying Sword Arts."
Ever since he ascended, Yun Ting was one of the few cultivators he had befriended and acknowledged in his heart.
Although the two of them had fought twice, there was no deep feud.
Su Zimo admired Yun Ting's pride, honesty and integrity.
Furthermore, Yun Ting was Yun Zhu's younger brother.
Since Yun Ting was willing to hand the Human Slaying Sword Art to him, he did not want to take advantage of Yun Ting either. He handed the Heaven and Earth Slaying Sword Arts to Yun Ting.
Many cultivators were moved when they saw that.
If it was anyone else, they would not show supreme cultivation techniques such as the Heaven and Earth Slaying Sword Arts casually, even to those closest to them.
To think that the thousand cultivators would be lucky enough to witness such a scene at the Divine Firmament Immortal Meet today.
But soon, an even more shocking scene happened!
After Yun Ting received the Heaven and Earth Slaying Sword Arts, he threw them back to Su Zimo without even looking at them and shook his head. "I don't need them anymore."
"Why?"
Su Zimo frowned slightly in confusion.
Yun Ting had never seen the Heaven and Earth Slaying Sword Arts before. With just a single Human Slaying Sword Art, he cultivated the Bloodline Phenomenon of the incomplete Immortal Vanquishing Sword.
Given his talent, if he had seen the Heaven and Earth Slaying Sword Arts, he would definitely be able to cultivate his Bloodline Phenomenon into a true peerless divine power!
Furthermore, Su Zimo believed that Yun Ting would definitely comprehend the Immortal Vanquishing Sword before him!
"Prince Yun Ting, accept it!"
"That's right, don't be rash, prince!"
Many cultivators of the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom persuaded.
The peerless divine power was within reach but Yun Ting rejected it!
"A defeat is a defeat."
Yun Ting shook his head gently.
In his opinion, Su Zimo giving him the two sword arts was a form of pity and charity.
He would not accept it!
Yun Ting looked into the distance with a moving glint in his eyes as he said slowly, "The three great sword arts were also created by humans. One day, I'll create my own Sword Dao!"
At that moment, Su Zimo understood.
Since Yun Ting was defeated, he would not accept the Heaven and Earth Slaying Sword Arts.
This was Yun Ting's pride!
In the eyes of everyone, a peerless divine power might be a tremendous opportunity.
However, Yun Ting was indifferent.
His Sword Dao was indomitable!
At that moment, Su Zimo vaguely realized that Yun Ting's future accomplishments were truly unimaginable.
In the future, Yun Ting would definitely be one of the supreme experts of the upper world!
How much determination and boldness did one need to abandon a peerless divine power that was within reach?!
"Su Zimo, I'm leaving."
Yun Ting looked at Su Zimo and suddenly smiled.
"Where to?"
Su Zimo asked.
"I don't know."
Yun Ting shook his head. "I might take a spin around the other Immortal Domains, Fiend Domain or other worlds. Perhaps, I'll travel through the trichiliocosm and see a wider world. I'll fight against even more experts and forge my Heart of the Sword while tempering my Sword Dao."
"Su Zimo, you have to be careful."
"The moment I return, I'll still challenge you! I hope that you won't lose too badly at that time."
Although Yun Ting was smiling, there was a hint of sadness and melancholy in his tone.
"Are you leaving now?"
Su Zimo asked with a frown.
"Yes."
Yun Ting nodded.
Under normal circumstances, the Rank 2 of the Heaven Ranking would receive the rewards of Divine Firmament Palace.
However, that was no longer important to Yun Ting.
Given his pride, since he was already defeated, why should he linger here?
"I'm leaving!"
Yun Ting waved at Su Zimo and shifted his gaze to Yun Zhu who was in the crowd of the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom cultivators.
Although there were a thousand cultivators in the Divine Firmament Hall, there were only two people worthy of him bidding farewell to.
One was Su Zimo and the other was his sister, Book Immortal Yun Zhu.
Unknowingly, Yun Zhu had already stood up and was looking at Yun Ting who was not far away.
Yun Zhu did not say anything, but there was a hint of worry and reluctance in the depths of her eyes.
She was usually strict with this younger brother of hers and often scolded him to trigger him.
However, at that moment, when she realized that Yun Ting was about to leave the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain and travel far away, she still felt a sense of sadness.
"Sister, I'm leaving."
Yun Ting said softly.
"Yes."
Yun Zhu did not say anything and merely replied softly.
She lowered her head, not wanting anyone to see her gradually reddened eyes as she said gently, "Be careful when you're out there and don't forget to come back."
When he heard that, Yun Ting felt a lump in his throat.
He shrugged his head, as though he wanted to shake off the sadness in his heart. Taking a deep breath of air, he suddenly turned around and glared at Su Zimo fiercely.
Su Zimo was confused by Yun Ting's fixed gaze.
"Su Zimo, let me warn you, don't let my sister down! Otherwise, if I return and find out that you've abandoned her, I'll definitely kill you!"
"Mmm?"
Su Zimo was stunned on the spot, not understanding Yun Ting's random outburst.
After saying that, Yun Ting leaped up and transformed into a sword beam, speeding into the distance and disappearing from everyone's line of sight in the blink of an eye.
