NOVPUB"Those independent cultivators, even with incredible Qi Destiny, find Cultivation up to Nascent Soul as their limit. To advance further, beforehand, they would inevitably fall under the scrutiny of our Alliance of Thousands of Immortals. However, this White-Robed Sword Immortal you mentioned..."
"Really seems to have popped out of a crack in a rock, no matter what, he is untraceable."
Shang Shaojun, hearing the First Weaver speak so gravely, was somewhat skeptical, "How numerous are the hidden forces within the Xuanhuang World? Could the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals truly know all?"
The First Weaver gently waved his fan again, and, in front of them, lights and shadows emerged.
It was an image of Saint Li Fan from Roaring Abyss, demonstrating his might, his sword shattering the Demon Sound.
"Young Master, what do you think of this sword art?" asked the First Weaver.
"Exquisite and incomparable, as natural as if born with it," Shang Shaojun replied without hesitation.
"This sword is the Xuanhuang Sword," the First Weaver, holding a white jade fan, mimicked Li Fan from the image, and then a Sword Light indeed flew out from the front end of the feather fan.
"Xuanhuang Sword..." Shang Shaojun mulled over these four words carefully.
"In the Xuanhuang World, there aren’t a few who practice the Sword Dao. Among them are also not lacking in prodigies. Thus, naturally, one can discern the nuances of the Sword Art wielded by this White-Robed Sword Immortal."
As Li Fan in the image struck with each sword, the First Weaver too waved his feather fan.
The same tiny beams of Sword Light echoed those in the image.
"Weaver, what exactly do you mean?" Shang Shaojun asked, frowning.
"Do you know of Heaven’s Commanding Hand?" the First Weaver replied by asking another question instead of answering.
"Of course, I know. The Immortal Alliance monitors the Principle of Heaven and Earth through Heaven’s Commanding Hand. Besides being able to observe the Essence of Heaven and Earth, the most important aspect is the ability to detect in advance any irrational traces," Shang Shaojun responded quickly.
"But what does this have to do with the Xuanhuang Sword you mentioned?"
"This sword is Heaven’s Oddities. It directly points to the Principle of Heaven and Earth," said the First Weaver solemnly.
Upon hearing these words, Shang Shaojun seemed to understand something, a glint of understanding flashing in his eyes.
"Sword Art abnormalities have been observed by Heaven’s Commanding Hand before. However, it lasted for a very short time, only less than half a month, and then everything returned to normal. It didn’t involve anything like a Heavenly Sovereign’s irrational anomaly, so Heaven’s Commanding Hand merely reported it in the usual manner, recorded, and archived it. I saw this record at the time but did not take it seriously. Not until you brought up this White-Robed Sword Immortal, did I connect them," the First Weaver explained slowly.
"Half a month?" Shang Shaojun found it hard to believe.
At this point, if Shang Shaojun still did not understand the other’s implications, he no longer deserved to guard the Roaring Abyss.
The Sword Dao had not been completely reversed, showing the previous disturbance was the Cohesion Phase.
The disturbance lasting only half a month indicated that the White-Robed Sword Immortal he had met...
Was not some long-practicing Strongman but a novice lucking into this realm.
But, could that be?
A realm might be breached momentarily by serendipity, but the insight into Sword Dao and the ease of wielding a sword require the accumulation of time.
Shang Shaojun’s mind again conjured images of all the events involving Saint Li Fan.
"Maybe... is this individual a prodigious genius?" he suggested uncertainly.
"Perhaps that’s possible. But I prefer to believe that someone, an outsider, infiltrated our Xuanhuang World, leveraging the Heavenly Wonderful Sword Path to advance into the Union of Dao Realm. Then led us to venture into the Depths of the Star Sea..." The First Weaver suggested.
Shang Shaojun interrupted him with a raised hand.
"Weaver, isn’t that a bit absurd?"
The First Weaver chuckled, "Just the most logical explanation after eliminating many impossibilities."
"This person emerged abruptly, without any foundation."
"After uniting the path, he could fully comprehend... still, it is one of the Sword Paths with complex ranks within the Principle of Heaven and Earth."
"If this person truly achieved all this on his own, without any foundation, I would call him the most talented in Law Transmission throughout the ages."
"Moreover, from your description of him, his words alone easily swayed the military heart of Duan Zhang Immortal City…"
The First Weaver sneered again.
Shang Shaojun thought further.
There are disloyal individuals within the Immortal Alliance. Wishing to set things right.
This was the constant plea of that individual.
After being led by this line of thinking, he indeed harbored such doubts. He even planned to unite with a group of friends to uncover the truth.
But, what if that person had malicious intentions?
If his actions spurred internal discord within the Immortal Alliance, making it vulnerable to outsiders, would that not make him a traitor of the Xuanhuang World?
Thinking this, Shang Shaojun broke into a cold sweat.
And just at this moment, the First Weaver said, "When you first came to me, indeed, I was somewhat swayed."
"But, after some investigation, it was found to be improper."
"Young Master, you are a high official in the Immortal Alliance. Every word and action must be cautious."
Shang Shaojun nodded slightly, sinking into deep thought.
"Before the truth is clear, do not act rashly. If that person contacts you again, report it immediately. I will handle it."
After giving these instructions, the First Weaver, graceful in movement, left the White Mist of the Roaring Abyss.
And it was a long while before Shang Shaojun realized. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Originally, he had intended to persuade the First Weaver, but instead was effortlessly swayed by the latter.
Worthy of the name "First."
"What kind of person are you really?" Shang Shaojun gazed into the starry sky, the image of that White-Robed, celestial-like figure reappearing in his mind.
