"The Grand Sky Sacrifice ceremony has begun!"

A shout from somewhere within the crowd instantly sent the atmosphere across the plaza into a frenzy. And not just that. The entire Jianyun Sect, from top to bottom, entered an explosive state, like an intense eruption of underground flames, burning furiously among the crowd.

"Ah!"

Ye Yun did not find Nangong Jade in the crowd, feeling a bit disappointed. He couldn't help but sigh softly.

Nangong Jade perhaps had left the Daluo Region. She probably broke through to the Divine Sovereign Realm, leaving this area for elsewhere in the Divine Land.

Feeling down, Ye Yun lowered his head, losing interest in the Grand Sky Sacrifice ceremony.

Just then, "Please welcome the Sword Sovereign!"

A clear feminine voice echoed throughout the Jianyun Sect once again.

Ye Yun raised his head.

Regarding this Sword Sovereign, he was curious and wanted to see what kind of person they were.

In the void above, a sudden beam of cold sword light came swooping across. After a flash of the sword light, it transformed into an incomparably beautiful woman in a red dress.

The lady in red had bright eyes and white teeth, and her skin was fairer than snow. She possessed an exquisite, fairy-like beauty. Her refined features were stunningly breathtaking. She had a cold and noble demeanor, and her whole body emitted an undefinable, powerful allure.

Now, she was standing in the sky, with her hands behind her back, exuding the potent aura of the God Monarch Realm's tenth layer.

"The Sword Sovereign is here!"

The entire plaza immediately erupted. The Sword Sovereign's reputation in the whole Daluo Region was illustrious and deeply ingrained.

She could be said to be the foremost figure of the Daluo Region.

In ten thousand years, no one dared to challenge her. The Sword Sovereign's Killing Sword Technique was extraordinarily terrifying, a fact acknowledged by all cultivators in the Daluo Region.

At this moment, Ye Yun was staring at the void in disbelief, suspecting he was seeing things.

He quickly rubbed his eyes and looked again toward the Sword Sovereign in the void.

No mistake! That was a familiar face, familiar beautiful eyes, familiar red lips, familiar skin like white jade...

Ye Yun had never dreamt of it. The Sword Sovereign was actually Liu Yiyi, who he had long considered dead in his heart.

"How could it be her?" Ye Yun mumbled to himself, his expression becoming somewhat uncontrollable, his body slightly shaking.

He came to the Daluo Region to look for Nangong Jade. He hadn't found Nangong Jade but had instead discovered Liu Yiyi, who had apparently returned from the dead.

The reason he said 'returned from the dead' was that on the Cangnan Continent, Ye Yun had seen Liu Yiyi's descendants. Therefore, in his heart, Liu Yiyi had long since fallen. But what Ye Yun did not expect was that the living Liu Yiyi appeared at this moment in the Daluo Region of the Divine Land, and had even become the Sword Sovereign of the Jianyun Sect.

Unbelievable! At this moment, Ye Yun's heart was filled with surging waves.

One hundred thousand years ago, Liu Yiyi's cultivation base was only at the Eternal Realm. How did she get through the Ancient Road to Heaven? Even for cultivators at the True God Realm First Level, it would be incredibly challenging to pass through the Ancient Road to Heaven. How did Liu Yiyi, in the Eternal Realm, manage to break through?

Ye Yun had too many questions in his heart. But in the end, he held them back.

Now was the time for the Jianyun Sect's Grand Sky Sacrifice ceremony, Liu Yiyi's moment of glory. He absolutely must not interrupt her. After the Grand Sky Sacrifice ceremony ended, Ye Yun would find Liu Yiyi to ask for clarification.

"Boss, what's wrong?" the Nether Blood Green Wooden Dragon softly sent him a telepathic message, noticing Ye Yun didn't seem right.

"It's nothing," Ye Yun said softly.

As he spoke, Ye Yun set up a barrier so Ye Wei and the middle-aged man—at the seventh layer of the Divine Monarch Realm—beside him could not hear.

"The Sword Sovereign is so beautiful. Even as a woman, I feel like I'm falling in love with the Sword Sovereign," Ye Wei said, looking up at the beautiful figure in red in the sky, her eyes filled with zealous admiration, murmuring to herself.

"Don't even think about it. For so many years, the Sword Sovereign has never had any interest in the opposite sex. Her heart only belongs to the sword," the middle-aged man at the seventh layer of the Divine Monarch Realm said with a smile.

"That's not necessarily true. Perhaps the Sword Sovereign has never met the man of her dreams," Ye Wei pouted, murmuring snidely. "I think if there is a man who surpasses the Sword Sovereign in swordsmanship, he might capture her heart. For instance, the mysterious character that's about to appear."

"You might have a point." The middle-aged man beside her nodded, surprisingly not refuting her.

He was also greatly interested in the mysterious individual who was about to challenge the Sword Sovereign. After all, no one had dared to challenge the Sword Sovereign in tens of thousands of years.

Hearing this dialogue, Ye Yun remained expressionless, but his eyebrows were slightly raised.

If this mysterious guy dares to show up, Ye Yun will definitely rip his head off and kick it like a ball. Damn it! Daring to flirt with his woman? That's asking for death!

At that moment, Ye Yun, once the most notorious bully on the Cangnan Continent a hundred thousand years ago, seemed to have returned. Just for a woman.

Upon the Sword Sovereign's appearance, the formidable aura she emitted dominated all the cultivators in the Jianyun Sect. With an icy demeanor, she scanned the surroundings and declared indifferently, "Today, my Green Luo Sword Sect shall officially be renamed the Jianyun Sect."

As her voice died down, a wave of applause, like a tidal wave, rose from the mountains below.

All attendants who had come to observe the ceremony were clapping with all their might, expressing their congratulations.

Meanwhile, all the disciples of the Jianyun Sect flew upwards, positioning themselves around the Sword Sovereign. Before the Sword Sovereign, a Golden Incense Burner appeared out of nowhere.

The Sword Sovereign solemnly lit three incense sticks. With a calm expression, she respectfully bowed three times towards the sky. All the disciples behind her also followed suit, bowing three times towards the sky.

The Sword Sovereign inserted the three burning incense sticks into the Golden Incense Burner. Instantly, a few strands of blue smoke drifted upwards into the sky. She stood quietly in mid-air, patiently waiting for that person to arrive.

Meanwhile, all the disciples of the Jianyun Sect returned to the mountain peak.

This Grand Sky Sacrifice ceremony is rather simple, Ye Yun thought, quietly nodding in the square.

Liu Yiyi, devoted to the sword all her life, was a woman of simplicity and directness. Hence, this Grand Sky Sacrifice ceremony was also extremely simple. After offering three incense sticks to the heavens and announcing the Jianyun Sect's renaming, the ceremony was considered over.

Jianyun Sect? Ye Yun's eyes suddenly sparkled; he seemed to have guessed the hidden meaning behind the Sect's name.

...

"A world-shaking battle is about to begin!" an excited cultivator at the God Monarch Realm's tenth layer exclaimed in the square.

"In this battle, the Sword Sovereign will surely be victorious, forging her path to becoming the unparalleled God in the future!" another cultivator declared solemnly.

"Everyone, keep quiet," an Elder from the Jianyun Sect warned, glancing in their direction.

The two men immediately closed their mouths, and the other cultivators nearby became silent as cicadas in winter. The entire square was now utterly silent.

Tens of thousands of cultivators looked up towards the Sword Sovereign, waiting with bated breath.

They knew… the main event was about to begin. The mysterious figure was about to make his entrance.

Suddenly, a ripple in space revealed a black silhouette. It gradually sharpened, revealing a young man in black. He was extraordinarily handsome and elegant, with deep, captivating features.

As soon as he appeared, a powerful aura of the Half-step Divine Venerate Realm swept down from the sky like a mighty river.

"Sword Sovereign, today I challenge you!" the young man in black declared after appearing, standing with his hands behind his back. A trace of defiance flashed across his face as he issued his challenge to the Sword Sovereign.

His voice, like sudden thunder, boomed downwards.

Many True God Realm cultivators standing halfway up the Jianyun Sect mountain heard this voice. Their faces turned crimson, their bodies trembled, and they struggled to remain standing.
