Great Sword Dao.

One of the top Immortal Sects in the Luo Ling Immortal Realm. Perhaps among the top great Immortal Sects, the Great Sword Dao doesn't have the most Immortal Emperor experts, but its combat strength is definitely among the best in the Luo Ling Immortal Realm. Among Immortals of the same rank, the sword cultivators of the Great Sword Dao have always been superior.

Not only in the Luo Ling Immortal Realm, but throughout the Immortal Realm, very few people have not heard of the Great Sword Dao. It is the supreme sect of swordplay, a sacred place for all those in the Immortal Realm seeking the Dao of the Sword.

The Great Sword Dao is most famous for three things. The first is Great Sword Peak.

Great Sword Peak is not just a mountain peak; it is a symbol of the Great Sword Dao. The reason Great Sword Peak is named as such is because this mountain peak was thrust down from the void, like a precious sword.

This giant sword mountain peak contains endless sword intent, ranging from weak to strong, continuous and majestic. Every disciple of the Great Sword Dao can comprehend sword intent here. The higher you go, the stronger the sword intent becomes. After entering the Great Sword Dao, how far you can go depends on how high you can comprehend within Great Sword Peak.

The second place is Sword Prison. Although Sword Prison is not a man-made prison, it is even more terrifying and frightening than any man-made prison. Because those who enter a prison still have a glimmer of hope to live, but those who enter Sword Prison have no chance of survival.

No one has ever heard of anyone entering the Sword Prison of the Great Sword Dao and surviving. Sword Prison is filled with tearing sword energy that cuts the soul. Even an Immortal Emperor would surely die upon entering. The only difference is how long they can last in Sword Prison.

The third famous place is called Yi Jian Valley.

Actually, Yi Jian Valley was originally a place to guard the entrance to Sword Prison. Later, because Sword Prison didn't need guarding at all – no matter how powerful an Immortal was, once sent into Sword Prison, they never had a chance to come out –

this place gradually became a trading market, trading only one thing: Sword Qi Flower Buds.

Sword Qi Flower Buds are only the size of a thumb, and their shape looks like an unopened flower. They only grow in Yi Jian Valley at the entrance of Sword Prison.

These flower buds can be used to attack enemies, and can be thrown out as hidden weapons in battle. Once a flower bud is thrown out, it transforms into sword energy to attack the opponent. In addition, these flower buds can also be used to comprehend sword intent.

Because of this, Sword Qi Flower Buds are very popular. There is only one place where they can be produced: at the entrance of Sword Prison. On the left and right sides of Sword Prison, there are separate spaces, where Sword Qi Flower Buds condense.

Over time, this place became known as Yi Jian Valley, referring to the place specifically for trading Sword Qi Flower Buds.

The formation time of Sword Qi Flower Buds is uncertain, ranging from one year to hundreds of years. The longer the formation time, the greater the power and the deeper the sword intent. Therefore, the value of Sword Qi Flower Buds is also determined by their formation time.

In Yi Jian Valley of the Great Sword Dao, there is an extremely strict rule: no matter who you are, you cannot approach within ten zhang of the Sword Qi Flower Bud cultivation space.

If you approach within ten zhang, whether you are sincere or unintentional, you will be thrown into Sword Prison without any reason.

Basically, all the cultivators who come to Yi Jian Valley understand this rule. They trade Sword Qi Flower Buds very consciously and leave quickly.

Mo Wuji arrived at the outer edge of the Great Sword Dao seven days later.

The stronger the anger in his heart, the calmer Mo Wuji's mind became. In these few days, he had made enough preparations. Just as Yan Yue Rong had said before, now was the most appropriate time for him to go to the Great Sword Dao. The Immortal Emperors, Quasi-Emperors, and even top Immortal Reverents of the Great Sword Dao had gone to the Shattered Realm, making it the safest time for Mo Wuji.

Xiao Xiaoyu thought that even if Yi Minghu left, he would not relax his attention on Mo Wuji and would keep a close eye on Sword Prison, where Han Qingru was imprisoned. In fact, she was wrong.

Yi Minghu didn't think Mo Wuji could recover in such a short time, so he didn't expect Mo Wuji to secretly come to the Great Sword Dao to save someone within a hundred years. This was still him being cautious, setting the time at a hundred years. According to normal thinking, it might take even ten thousand years to recover fully.

After all, even if Mo Wuji had the backing of an Immortal Emperor, there wouldn't be so many top-grade Immortal materials to allow him to recover in a short time after such a severe injury. The only thing he didn't expect was that Mo Wuji's cultivation base was not high, but his body tempering was equivalent to that of an Immortal Emperor. What he didn't expect even more was that Mo Wuji had the Life Meridian and the Hongmeng Life Aura.

So, Mo Wuji didn't use a hundred years, or even two years, before coming.

For others, going to Sword Prison of the Great Sword Dao was equivalent to seeking death, but Mo Wuji believed that his going to the Great Sword Dao was not seeking death.

Entering the Great Sword Dao, he had already planned what to do. First, he had to enter Sword Prison. Besides hearing about Sword Prison from Xiao Xiaoyu, Mo Wuji had also secretly investigated it when he arrived at the outer edge of the Great Sword Dao.

Sword Prison was indeed as Xiao Xiaoyu had said, with endless sword energy tearing apart the body and soul.

Mo Wuji was a Godly Physique. How many people in the Immortal Realm were Godly Physiques? Moreover, he had the most top-grade body tempering technique. Sword energy tearing his body was just a matter of physical pain, which he didn't care about at all.

As for tearing the soul, Mo Wuji cared even less. The soul condensed into a Yuan God, and tearing the soul started from the Yuan God. His Godly Physique was of a mortal body, he did not cultivate Yuan God, and only had an endless purple great sea of consciousness. This kind of tearing didn't matter to him.

As long as he entered Sword Prison, the first step would be successful.

The Great Sword Dao would place a sword talisman on everyone entering Sword Prison to protect them. This sword talisman not only protected you with a breath of life, but also increased the intensity of the sword energy devouring the soul and body, increasing the torment of the sword energy without letting you die.

Mo Wuji was a Godly Physique who did not cultivate Yuan God. He didn't want to be protected by a top-grade sword talisman for no reason and suffer endless sword energy erosion. So, the second step was to make the person sending him into Sword Prison despise him, even to the point of using the lowest-grade sword talisman on him.

The third step was to find Han Qingru, which would depend on the situation once he entered Sword Prison. The fourth step was to figure out how to leave Sword Prison after finding Han Qingru.

According to the historical records of Sword Prison, it was rumored that no cultivator who had entered Sword Prison had ever left alive. However, Mo Wuji didn't quite believe it. He had understood a principle since he started cultivating: there was always a glimmer of hope in everything. In the vast universe, there was no absolute dead end. If you felt there was no hope, it was because you hadn't found it yet, or your fortune didn't include it.

Mo Wuji created the Immortal Mortal Dao and pioneered the path of mortal cultivation, and his understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was becoming increasingly profound.

He believed that whether the Great Sword Dao was hiding the fact that there was a chance of survival in Sword Prison, or whether no cultivator who had entered Sword Prison had ever found this chance, it could not erase the existence of that invisible chance.

In the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, there was no extreme state of death. Once it reached its extreme, it would give rise to a glimmer of life. This was Mo Wuji's understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and it was precisely because of this understanding that he was able to create the path of mortal cultivation. Otherwise, how could mortals with severed spiritual roots cultivate Immortality? Indeed, mortals could still cultivate martial arts, but martial arts was not the Immortal Dao, and the difference between martial arts and cultivating Immortality was very large.

Similarly, Mo Wuji firmly believed that opportunity always favors the prepared. Even if his cultivation base was insufficient, he would make all the preparations that seemed almost impossible before entering Sword Prison.

In the seven days, plus the time spent traveling, Mo Wuji refined a pile of teleportation array disks. From the moment he entered the outer edge of the Great Sword Dao, he began to secretly place teleportation array disks. Whether these teleportation array disks were useful or not, he would refine them first.

Outside Yi Jian Valley, Mo Wuji, who had just arrived, looked up at the towering Great Sword Peak and made up his mind that as long as he had the chance, he would definitely destroy it.

According to the information Mo Wuji had obtained, the simplest and most direct way to enter Sword Prison was to break into the Sword Qi Flower Bud cultivation space.

To facilitate Immortal Realm cultivators to trade Sword Qi Flower Buds in Yi Jian Valley, it was located on the outermost edge of the Great Sword Dao.

Yi Jian Valley was not guarded by anyone because it was a trading place, and it was quite lively with people coming and going. Mo Wuji followed the crowd and easily entered Yi Jian Valley.

The entire Yi Jian Valley was like a small market town. There were rest houses, pawnshops, hotels... Of course, the largest building was Yi Jian Tower.

Any cultivator who wanted to buy Sword Qi Flower Buds could enter Yi Jian Tower. If they didn't have enough Immortal Crystals, there was a pawnshop to the left as you exited. Because Sword Qi Flower Buds were very precious, many cultivators who wanted to buy Sword Qi Flower Buds that had been forming for a long time had to stay here and wait slowly for the Sword Qi Flower Buds to form.

Yi Jian Tower was the building furthest back in Yi Jian Valley. Behind it was a red line, and behind the red line was the space where Sword Qi Flower Buds formed. This area was forbidden to anyone in the Great Sword Dao.

At this moment, Mo Wuji had transformed into a somewhat down-on-his-luck wandering Immortal. His cultivation base was only at the Late-Stage Golden Immortal realm, and he carried a Third-Grade Immortal artifact long sword on his back. The scabbard was a bit dull, and from the appearance, it was clear that the sword had been with its owner for some years.

His hair was slightly disheveled, and his appearance was considered handsome. His hemp clothing showed that Mo Wuji was a bitter-cultivating sword Immortal.

"I want Sword Qi Flower Buds," Mo Wuji said as he walked into Yi Jian Tower and approached the outermost trading window. His tone was somewhat brief, and his hands were clenched tightly in nervousness.

The clerk inside the counter saw Mo Wuji's nervousness and smiled, saying, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be nervous when you come to Yi Jian Valley. No one dares to harm you here. If you want a one-year-old Sword Qi Flower Bud, the price is three..."

The clerk suddenly stopped speaking, his eyes fixed on the jade box in Mo Wuji's hand. The jade box in Mo Wuji's hand was already open, and inside lay a light green Immortal fruit. As a clerk in Yi Jian Valley, his cultivation base was not high, but his eyesight was definitely not bad.

He recognized the fruit as soon as he saw it. It was a Hundred-Meridian Leafless Fruit.
