Chapter 2298 Genius's Name Inscribed on the Stone Tablet, Number 1 for All Ages

This time, we're coming to Burial Sword Valley!

Chen Xuan had not expected this outcome.

Not only did it allow him to comprehend the Free and Unfettered Sword Intent, one of the three great sword intents of Heavenly Sword Valley, but it also enabled him to condense the Free and Unfettered Sword Heart.

Comprehending the essence of the Free and Unfettered Sword only indicates that one has good talent in swordsmanship.

He can be called a genius.

However, the fact that he was able to condense the Free and Unfettered Sword Heart means that Chen Xuan is probably the greatest swordsman of all time!

For a moment, even Chen Xuan himself was somewhat dazed.

But the real, carefree sword heart within his dantian constantly reminded Chen Xuan that this was not a dream, but reality!

"Now, the Free and Unfettered Sword Intent surrounding me can move entirely at my will. There's little point in me continuing to comprehend the Free and Unfettered Sword Intent!"

"Why don't we take this opportunity to leave?"

Chen Xuan muttered softly.

Just as he was about to leave the place where the three sword intents converged, a buzzing sound suddenly came from afar.

There, on the enormous stone tablet of genius.

A dazzling display of light suddenly appeared.

The names of geniuses that were originally engraved on the stone tablet suddenly became blurred at this moment.

Soon, it disappeared completely.

Now, not only Chen Xuan, but all the powerful figures nearby were drawn to the changes on the Genius Stone Tablet.

"Look, the Genius Stele has changed again. Is someone going to leave their name on it?"

"I wonder who will be able to leave their name on the Genius Stele at this moment?"

"I bet it's that fellow Daoist who just condensed the Free and Unfettered Sword Heart. I just wonder who he really is!"

Countless curious eyes converged on the Genius Stele.

At this moment, even the gaze of Young Master Lingxu, who was comprehending the Supreme Sword Intent not far away, was completely drawn in.

The commotion Chen Xuan had just caused had completely woken him up.

Having witnessed Chen Xuan condense the Free and Unfettered Sword Heart, Young Master Lingxu's jealousy and resentment grew even stronger.

If it weren't for the fact that the Free and Unfettered Sword Intent was simply too powerful.

Moreover, it doesn't allow outsiders to get close at all. It's likely that Young Master Lingxu would have already killed Chen Xuan while he was comprehending the Free and Unfettered Sword Intent.

"Damn it! That ant surnamed Chen is really lucky!"

"He not only condensed the Free and Unfettered Sword Heart, but also left his name on the Genius Stele."

"It seems that this person has probably inherited the mantle of someone from the Tianmeng Mountains."

"Hehe, although I cannot kill him, if I inform the Fifth Ancestor about this matter, he will certainly not let this brat off!"

Thinking of this, a fierce glint flashed in Young Master Lingxu's eyes.

Soon, Young Master Lingxu regained his composure.

He quietly stared at the changes on the Genius Stele.

Wow!

The terrifying multicolored light on the Genius Stele rose up like swirling clouds.

The names of the geniuses that were originally left on the Genius Stele have now completely disappeared.

Only one name was slowly revealed under the glow of multicolored light.

"Chen Xuan?"

"Who is this person?"

"I don't know, I've never heard of that name before!"

Looking at the prominent name on the Genius Stele.

Everyone looked surprised.

Xiao Qin, the only one who recognized Chen Xuan, remained completely calm.

However, Elder Bai, who had not been optimistic about Chen Xuan earlier, now had a very complicated expression.

"I never imagined that Fellow Daoist Chen would be such a genius. Not only was he able to condense the Free and Unfettered Sword Heart, but he was also able to leave his name on the Genius Stele!"

"However, judging from the current situation, Fellow Daoist Chen's ranking on the Genius Stele should not be low!"

"Oh, poor lady."

As Bai Lao finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Qin with a regretful expression.

Perhaps sensing Bai Lao's thoughts, Xiao Qin turned her head and smiled slightly at him.

"Elder Bai, you don't need to feel sorry. It's already extremely fortunate for me to know Fellow Daoist Chen. As for the rest... let fate decide!"

"It's quite remarkable that Miss has such a state of mind. However, if Miss can cultivate a good relationship with Fellow Daoist Chen, it will be very beneficial in the future. A genius like him, who can leave his name on the Genius Stele, will surely achieve great things in the future!"

"Yes, I know what to do."

At that very moment, the multicolored light on the Genius Stele completely disappeared.

Only Chen Xuan's name radiated a rich golden light.

In that instant, all the powerful figures who witnessed this scene took out their communication jade talismans and quickly transmitted everything they had seen to the True Immortal Sects behind them.

A quarter of an hour later, the golden light emanating from Chen Xuan's name gradually dissipated.

The names of the previously vanished geniuses have reappeared.

The difference is that everyone's name dropped down one line at this moment.

Even the name of the carefree sword immortal Li Xiaoyao can only rank second.

But the name that stands high above is Chen Xuan's.

"Chen Xuan? In the Tianmeng Mountains, he comprehended twelve parts of the Free and Unfettered Sword Intent and condensed the Free and Unfettered Sword Heart. The greatest swordsman of all time? This genius stele is giving Chen Xuan far too high a rating!"

"The Genius Stele is not mistaken. It was left behind by a powerful figure from ancient times. Look at the strong individuals whose names are inscribed on the Genius Stele, which one of them is mediocre?"

"That's true, but where exactly is this Tianmeng Mountain Range? Why have I never heard of it before?"

"I've never heard of it either. It seems to be some insignificant little place. Indeed, genius doesn't ask about origins!"

In that instant, everyone's gaze towards Chen Xuan turned to one of extreme envy.

Chen Xuan, however, looked normal.

His gaze swept across the Genius Stele before he vanished in a blur.

Soon after, Xiao Qin and Bai Lao, who were mingling in the crowd, also shot off in the direction where Chen Xuan had disappeared.

Only Young Master Lingxu remained within the Supreme Sword Intent, his expression turning extremely awkward.

"That bastard surnamed Chen is gone now, and he's still ranked first on the Genius Stele. If I were to leave now, I'd probably be ridiculed by everyone!"

"Since that's the case, I'll continue to hold out here for a while longer. However, this Supreme Sword Intent is truly terrifying. If I persist for even a moment longer, I'm afraid my body will be pierced through by the Supreme Sword Intent."

"Alright, let's send a message to the Fifth Patriarch first."

After sighing, Young Master Lingxu took out a communication jade talisman, said a few words, and then quickly activated it.

Unbeknownst to them, just as Young Master Lingxu was sending a message to Liu Wen, the Fifth Patriarch of Yaoguang Cave, almost all the True Immortal sects and families in the True Immortal Realm who were paying attention to Burial Sword Valley received a message from Heavenly Sword Valley.

……

Tianmu Cave is a beautiful, forbidden area.

A burly middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged here, practicing meditation.

Beside him stood a beautiful and alluring female cultivator, who had a captivating figure.

The female cultivator's appearance was strikingly similar to Wu Zetian's.

Even their expressions are nine-tenths similar.

The only difference is that the female cultivator has a more gentle and graceful demeanor, and has lost some of Wu Zetian's heroic spirit.

At this moment, a streak of light suddenly shot out from a distance.

The middle-aged man, who was in seclusion for spiritual cultivation, remained calm and composed.

It was as if they hadn't noticed the sudden streak of light at all.

However, the beautiful female cultivator standing not far away casually reached out and grabbed the flowing light in her hand.

It was a communication jade talisman.

It was a secret communication jade talisman from Tianmu Cave.

Upon seeing this, the beautiful female cultivator frowned slightly.

Just as she was hesitating whether to wake the middle-aged man who was in seclusion, he opened his eyes.

"Could it be a communication jade talisman sent by Ling'er? I really don't know what happened in the Burial Sword Valley that would make this girl use such a specially made communication jade talisman to send a message to this old man!"

The middle-aged man was Zhai Tianfu from Tianmu Cave.

His mastery of talismanic arts was already unparalleled.

Moreover, Zhai Tianfu was a very powerful late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

Aside from the cave master of Tianmu Cave, he was the most powerful person in Tianmu Cave.

This is why Zhai Tianfu enjoyed extraordinary cultivation resources in Tianmu Cave.

"Senior, it is indeed a communication jade talisman sent by Fairy Ling'er. Please take a look!"

The beautiful female cultivator calmly handed the communication jade talisman in her hand to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man pointed his finger in the air.

The communication jade talisman was activated instantly.

Soon, a huge light screen appeared out of thin air.

What appeared on the light screen was the scene of Chen Xuan leaving his name on the Genius Stele in Heavenly Sword Valley.

Chen Xuan's enormous golden name dominated the entire Genius Stele.

Even now, its radiance surpasses that of the sword immortal Li Xiaoyao.

Even Zhai Tianfu, who was usually very calm, was somewhat surprised to see this.

"I never imagined such a major event would occur in the Burial Sword Valley. It seems this fellow Daoist named Chen Xuan is truly extraordinary!"

"I'm afraid it won't be long before Chen Xuan's name resounds throughout the entire True Immortal Realm. If our Tianmu Cave can recruit him, it won't be long before we become one of the top ten powerful True Immortal forces among the 108 Cave Heavens."

As Zhai Tianfu spoke, his eyes were filled with anticipation.

However, a fleeting look of intense joy flashed in the eyes of the beautiful female cultivator standing not far from him.

"Chen Xuan... Could it be Master? I never imagined that Master would actually ascend to the True Immortal Realm. If so, the day I meet Master again shouldn't be far off, right?"

The beautiful female cultivator is actually a fox spirit.

Since she and Chen Jiao activated the Great Annihilation Spirit-Attracting Talisman and ascended directly to the True Immortal Realm, she has remained in the Tianmu Cave.

Unfortunately, Fox's skill in the art of talismans was mediocre.

Even though he was kept by Zhai Tianfu's side all these years, he didn't achieve anything.

However, no one could rival the fox's skill in seduction.

Although the fox's cultivation level is only at the late Golden Immortal stage, it is not far from becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

"Huh? Fox, what's with that expression? Do you know this Fellow Daoist Chen?"

Seeing that Hu'er looked somewhat excited, Zhai Tianfu was immediately surprised.

Over the years, Zhai Tianfu has kept Hu'er by his side and carefully nurtured her.

Originally, he had hoped that the fox would inherit his mantle.

But to his surprise, he discovered that the fox had no interest in inheriting his mantle.

On the contrary, he couldn't forget her master from the lower plane.

Even after so many years, it has remained the same.

“This…Reporting to Senior, Fox does indeed know a person named Chen Xuan. He was once the master of Fox’s lower plane!” Fox said.

"Oh? Just a cultivator from a lower plane. Even if he successfully ascends to the True Immortal Realm, it will be difficult for him to stand out. Don't overthink it. However, this Fellow Daoist Chen is different. He can actually comprehend the Free and Unfettered Sword Intent of the Three Great Sword Intents. He is probably related to the Free and Unfettered Sword Immortal Li Xiaoyao!"

"How... how can you be so sure, senior?"

"Hehe, the Free and Unfettered Sword Intent was originally left behind by the first sect master of the Free and Unfettered Sword Sect. If you are not a disciple of the Free and Unfettered Sword Sect, it is already very extraordinary to be able to comprehend three-tenths of the Free and Unfettered Sword Intent. Look at this Fellow Daoist Chen, he can actually comprehend twelve-tenths of the Free and Unfettered Sword Intent. This is enough to show his relationship with the Free and Unfettered Sword Immortal."

Zhai Tianfu smiled and spoke eloquently.

Upon hearing this, the fox's beautiful eyes lit up with joy.

Although she wasn't sure if Chen Xuan was the one who had climbed to the top of the Genius Stele at that moment.

But she firmly believed that Chen Xuan was definitely not an ordinary person.

If one could ascend to the Realm of True Immortals, one could also make a great name for oneself.

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, senior," the fox said happily.

"Heh, it seems you have no interest in staying here to cultivate with this old man. In that case, go wherever you want. You... are free!"

Zhai Tianfu's gaze swept over the fox, and he immediately smiled.

The fox looked surprised.

After confirming that Zhai Tianfu was not lying, she immediately knelt down and solemnly kowtowed three times to him.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior. If I am unable to find my master on this trip, I will follow you faithfully from now on!"

"OK!"
