Chapter 2023: Holy Sword Temple(4)

"So, what should we do about the Holy Sword Temple? We don’t know what’s causing it to reject people." The Sixth Elder looked at the Sword Empress for her thoughts.

The Sword Empress shrugged, "How the hell am I supposed to know? Unless the creator of the temple is here, there’s no way we will know for sure."

"The God of Creation...? He died several eras ago, so that’s impossible."

Unbeknownst to them, the individual they were talking about was standing right behind them.

"Looks like we’ll have to shut down the Holy Sword Temple until we figure it out," said the Sword Empress.

"We’re going to have a lot of complaints."

"Fuck them." The Sword Empress calmly cursed. "If they can’t understand why we have to shut the place down, then let them go inside and experience the reason for themselves. Of course, we won’t be compensating for anything."

"And harm our reputation even more...?" The Sixth Elder shook her head.

The two of them fell silent.

"Umm..." Yuan suddenly spoke out.

"Huh? You’re still here? Get lost already," the Sword Empress said, waving him off with a dismissive gesture.

He continued, "This might sound crazy, but I’d like to enter the Holy Sword Temple."

The two ladies turned to look at him with raised eyebrows.

"Are you serious? Even after seeing everything that had happened?" The Sixth Elder remarked with a dumbfounded look on her face.

Yuan nodded, "Yes."

"Listen here, you dumb brat. The Descending Sword Pavilion’s Sect Leader only survived because he was a God Ascension Realm cultivator and could live without a physical body. If you go inside, you’ll definitely die."

"Even so, I’d like to try," Yuan said with a stubborn expression.

The Sword Empress rubbed her eyes and looked at the Sixth Elder, saying, "Can you believe this fucking idiot?"

The Sixth Elder could only shake her head in silence.

"You know what? I don’t know why you’re so eager to die, but it’s none of our business. Go ahead and enter the temple if you want." The Sword Empress said a moment later.

"Thank you." Yuan bowed to them and turned to face the temple’s entrance.

"You’re not serious, are you? Please think this through. You are one of the most talented individuals I’ve come across. It’d be a waste to die here."

While the Sword Empress couldn’t care less if Yuan died, the Sixth Elder, who’d witnessed his talents, couldn’t bear to see him die such a pointless death and decided to block his path.

"Since when were you such a busybody, Sixth Elder? Just let him die."

"You’re only saying that because you didn’t see his trial. This young man... his Enhanced Sword Aura is likely even stronger than yours," she responded.

Seeing the Sword Empress’ stubborn face, Yuan knew he had no choice but to play along. Since he couldn’t sense any ill intent coming from her, he wasn’t worried that she might try to kill him.

Some time later, the two stood facing each other, separated by a distance of roughly a dozen meters.

"Let’s keep this simple. When I say go, we’ll both release our Enhanced Sword Aura, and the one with the sharpest and strongest sword aura wins."

Yuan nodded in acknowledgement.

"I’ll give you a few minutes to prepare."

"No need." Yuan calmly rejected.

"Well, would you look at that... Feeling confident, are you? Even after saying ’no’ to my question?" the Sword Empress said with an irritated smile, feeling like she was being looked down upon by Yuan, a mere mortal.

She retrieved a spirit stone from her spatial ring and said, "When this touches the ground, release your sword aura."

Then, she flicked the spirit stone into the air.

Once it dropped to the ground a moment later, both Yuan and the Sword Empress unleashed their Enhanced Sword Aura, instantly flooding the Holy Sword Temple with powerful ripples of energy. Had the place not been constructed from materials resistant to sword aura, their clash would have torn everything apart.

"Son of a fucking bitch..." The Sword Empress cursed under her breath as she compared their Enhanced Sword Auras, only to realize she was slightly inferior to Yuan, causing her face to twist with disbelief.
