“Of course, it can’tpare!” Jimmy Acevedo responded with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.


    “Then why are we going? We can just practice the Phantom Sword Technique directly,” Stout replied again.


    “Can you stop talking?” Ivy rolled her eyes at him.


    He had no sense of the situation; didn’t he see that Jimmy Acevedo’s face looked terrible?


    Jimmy Acevedo coughed and continued, “Besides the sword techniques, the Sword Pavilion also contains the sword intent left by our predecessors, which should be quite helpful to you all!”


    “Sword intent?” Bob’s eyes lit up.


    “Exactly!” Jimmy Acevedo nodded.


    As they talked, they arrived in front of a six-story tower. Therge characters “Sword Pavilion” were carved above the entrance.


    Entering the hall, they saw an old man cleaning.


    Billy tried to gauge the old man’s cultivation level but found nothing.


    “Greetings, Elder yton!” Jimmy Acevedo walked up to the old man and bowed respectfully.


    “You must be Mr. Billy?” yton Acevedo nced at the group and then fixed his gaze on Billy.


    “Yes, that’s me!” Billy bowed slightly.


    “I heard you’ve already mastered the Phantom Sword Technique to the Great Perfection Realm?” yton Acevedo continued to ask.


    “Just lucky,” Billy responded.


    “Not bad!” yton Acevedo said, pointing to the staircase. “You may go up. As long as you don’t damage anything inside, you can do whatever you want!”


    “Thank you, Elder yton!” Billy cupped his hands in thanks and looked at Harleen and Opal, who were skilled with swords.


    “Harleen, Opal, you go up. We’ll wait here.”ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    “Okay!” Harleen and the others responded and walked towards the staircase.


    “Mr. Billy, I have some matters to attend to. If you need anything, just send me a message,” Jimmy Acevedo said.


    “Thank you!” Billy nodded.


    “You’re not going up?” After Jimmy Acevedo left, yton Acevedo looked at Billy and asked.


    “I prefer des,” Billy smiled faintly.


    “Dual cultivation of sword and de?” yton Acevedo’s eyes narrowed slightly.


    “Sort of,” Billy smiled again.


    “Really?” A hint of surprise shed in yton Acevedo’s eyes. “Can I see your de skills?”


    “Sure,” Billy nodded.


    The group then moved to an open area outside.


    “Don’t hold back. Show me your strongest strike!” yton Acevedo said, looking at Billy.


    “Alright!” Billy responded.


    He didn’t know why yton Acevedo suddenly wanted to see his de skills, but since the request was made, he was happy to oblige. There was nothing to lose anyway.


    Billy then took out his kylin de from his storage ring.


    “Elder yton, please guide me!”


    Billy said in a deep voice, gripping the kylin de and forming Cracked Sky, shing out with one strike.


    He wasn’t worried about hurting yton Acevedo. By his estimation, without activating his bloodline power, it was unlikely he could harm him at all.


    “Hmm?!” yton Acevedo’s pupils contracted slightly upon seeing the strike.


    Immediately, he raised his hand and pressed down.


    A massive phantom hand descended from the sky, striking heavily on the de light with a loud bang, shattering it instantly.


    Billy was sted a thousand meters away by the shockwave.


    In contrast, yton Acevedo merely swayed slightly before steadying himself.


    “To achieve such aplishments at your age is quite impressive!” yton Acevedo said, looking at Billy.


    As he spoke, a gleam shed in his eyes again.


    “Elder yton overpraises me!” Billy said with a smile as he put the kylin de back into his storage ring.


    After one move, he had a rough understanding of yton Acevedo’sbat power-at least sixth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm or higher!


    He then spoke again, “Elder yton, I have a question I’d like to ask for your guidance. May I?”


    “Go ahead,” yton Acevedo responded.


    “Do you know what the Realm of Swords and des is?” Billy asked.


    This was one of the opportunities left to them by two Ancestors in the City of the Dead within the Five Elements Realm.


    However, despite his efforts, Billy couldn’t fullyprehend this Realm of Swords and des; he only had a vague sense of it.


    Now that he was at the Sword Sect, he naturally wanted to learn more about it.


    “You know about the Realm of Swords and des?” yton Acevedo was slightly surprised and continued to ask, “How much do you know?”


    “Other than knowing its concept, I know nothing else,” Billy responded.


    “In this star domain, no one has mentioned the Realm of Swords and des for many years!” yton Acevedo said thoughtfully.


    “Elder, do you know what the Realm of Swords and des is?” Casey asked.


    “Follow me!” yton Acevedo said as he walked away. Billy and the others followed closely behind.


    Soon, they arrived at arger open area.


    “Do you have a sword?” yton Acevedo asked Billy.


    “Yes!” Billy took out a sword from his storage ring and handed it over.


    “Watch closely!” yton Acevedo said to Billy before taking the sword. He then turned to Casey and the others. “All of you use your strongest abilities against me.”


    “Mister, are you serious?” Stout asked.


    “Attack!” yton Acevedo said as he ascended into the air, his aura rising simultaneously.


    “Boss, what do you think?” Casey turned to look at Billy.


    “It’s fine. Do as Elder yton says,” Billy responded.


    “Alright!” Everyone nodded and drew their weapons before following him into the air.


    Once airborne, they all attacked yton Acevedo simultaneously.


    At that moment, yton Acevedo also moved.


    He took two steps forward, continuously flipping his wrist as cold light shed.


    Soon, invisible sword energy filled the air. Within a range of three to four thousand meters, a dense killing intent permeated the area.


    What shocked Casey and the others was that they felt as if they were in an independent world formed by invisible sword energy, almost isted from the outside world.


    Moreover, everyone clearly felt their power being suppressed by an invisible force. They couldn’t exert their full strength; at most, they could only disy seventy to eighty percent of their abilities.


    Additionally, in this space formed by sword energy, they felt a deep sense of helplessness. Likembs waiting for ughter, the towering figure in the distance seemed capable of taking their lives at any moment.


    A few minutester, yton Acevedo sheathed his sword andnded on the ground. Casey and the others exhaled deeply before following suit.


    Billy had naturally observed everything just now. Some of his previous questions about the Realm of Swords and des seemed to have vague answers now.


    “Elder, what just happened? Why was our power suppressed? And why did it feel like we were in a different space?” Casey asked yton Acevedo.


    “In a sense, the so-called Realm of Swords and des is an independent world formed by sword and de intent!” yton Acevedo responded.


    “In that world, the person who initiates it is its ruler. All living beings are his subjects; he can control their life and death!”


    After saying this, he paused briefly before continuing.


    “My understanding of the Realm of Swords and des is superficial. That’s why your experience just now wasn’t very intense.”


    “If one trulyprehends the Realm of Swords and des, you’ll feel as insignificant as dust within it!”


    Everyone thought: We already felt as insignificant as dust just now.
