In front of the ancient tree stood a stone inscription with two lines of Immortal Realm script.

[Second Challenge: Examine the Sword Tree.]

[Leave ninety-nine sword marks upon this tree, each infused with different Laws.]

After reading these two lines, Han Yi felt calm inside, using his finger as a sword, he fired Sword Light, leaving sword marks on the ancient tree, each mark imbuing different Laws.

Water Sword, Wood Sword, Metal Sword, Wind Sword…

In an instant, countless Laws emerged, transforming the ancient tree into a Law-infused Sword Tree.

When the ninety-ninth sword mark was branded upon the ancient tree, a second section of mountain path suddenly materialized behind the Ancient Gods.

Han Yi walked past the ancient tree towards the mountain path.

Behind him, the ancient tree shuddered slightly, and the ninety-nine sword marks that Han Yi had branded upon it turned into a Sword Token that fell to the ground, sinking into it, vanishing without a trace.

The ancient tree returned to its original intact state.

Upon stepping past the ancient tree, Han Yi walked another ten feet and saw a Swordsman sitting cross-legged on the ground, a wooden sword resting on his knee. When he saw Han Yi, he looked up with a calm gaze, picked up the wooden sword, and thrust it forward.

In Han Yi’s eyes, as the sword was thrust, all the space in front of him was filled with Sword Light, with sword lights filling the sky, engulfing the entire world, pressing down on him.

This was not an ordinary sword thrust but akin to a strike from the Sword Realm.

However.

He remained collected, for although this sword strike was vast, it was not particularly powerful, only equivalent to the Early-stage of the Sixth-order Sword Realm.

Han Yi still pointed out with a finger, using it as a sword, slicing down with Sword Control.

Whoosh.

The Sword Light filling the sky was suddenly pushed aside as if a black curtain of Sword Light was being unzipped, dividing into two parts.

As it approached, the curtain of swords disappeared, vanishing into nothingness, while the Swordsman with the wooden sword on his knee placed the sword back, closed his eyes, and became as lifeless as a wooden figure.

Han Yi glanced at the wooden sword on the Swordsman’s knee and realized that this Swordsman was not actually a real Immortal, but the Sword Spirit of the wooden sword.

He walked past the wooden sword Swordsman toward the gradually materializing mountain path ahead.

Another ten feet, and Han Yi came upon a Sword Monument, on which there was only one sword mark, but only half of it was complete; the other half needed to be filled in.

Han Yi could tell at a glance that the craftsmanship of this sword mark was not particularly high; most Golden Immortals at the Peak could continue it.

He took a quarter of an hour to perfect the sword mark, and as he completed it on the Sword Monument, a bright light shone forth, and the path beyond the monument materialized.

At the fifth challenge, Han Yi encountered a sword and battled it with Sword Skill.

At the sixth challenge, Han Yi saw Sword Cliff…

At the seventh challenge, Han Yi stood in front of a Sword Tower…

At the eighth challenge…

As he passed challenge after challenge, Han Yi’s curiosity about Demon Witch Mountain was thoroughly piqued.

Sword styles, Sword Trees, Sword Wood, Sword Monuments, Sword Marks, Sword Towers, Sword Cliffs…

All things under heaven could bear the sword, become the sword, and turn into the sword.

The depth of Sword Way within Demon Witch Mountain far exceeded Han Yi’s imagination.

The mountain stood nine thousand feet tall; if one were to take it at ten feet per challenge, roughly nine hundred challenges were needed, each different from the last. If one could truly reach the limit, the strength of Sword Way for such Golden Immortal Level Sword Immortals could be unimaginable.

Han Yi surmised that even if his Sword Controlling Immortal Skill were to advance to the Seventh Order, it would still be difficult to reach the mountain top.

That was truly terrifying.

The power of the Seventh Order Imperial Sword was something Han Yi was confident could contend with seasoned Immortal Monarchs and was no less significant than Qin Yi of the past, perhaps even surpassing him.

Yet, such a formidable Sword Skill was hard to complete up a Sword Mountain; the Master of this Sword Mountain must be at least a Peak Immortal Monarch, and there was a high probability of being an Immortal Venerate.

Han Yi’s curiosity about the identity of the Master of the Demon Witch Mountain grew even stronger.

Time passed, and he immersed himself in solving the mysteries of Sword Way. When he came to his senses, he had reached the hundredth challenge.

Before him stood a vague, phantom-like figure at the waist of the mountain, hands clasped behind the back, and without a sword at the side.

But Han Yi did not dare to take it lightly.

By this level, every challenge was extremely difficult, and he needed to give his all to pass through.

As the thought crossed his mind, the phantom figure with clasped hands suddenly stretched out a finger and pointed gently at Han Yi.

At that moment, a thread of Sword Qi burst forth from between the fingers, charged with an extremely dark, malicious, and ferocious aura. It seemed to bear an infinite capability, mighty and vast.

“`

Han Yi’s eyes suddenly lit up.

“Witch Demon Sword Qi!”

Although he had encountered ferocious black Sword Qi in the previous ninety-nine challenges, those Sword Qis, which also belonged to the Sword Formation of Demon Witch Mountain, were not the true Witch Demon Sword Qi. As Han Yi made his way up the middle of the mountain, he discovered his previous thoughts were mistaken. Those Sword Qis didn’t count as Witch Demon Sword Qi.

The true Witch Demon Sword Qi should originate from the same source as the thick black clouds at the summit.

At this moment, when the phantom figure stimulated the Sword Qi, Han Yi instantly perceived this and finally confirmed that the black clouds atop Demon Witch Mountain were actually composed of endless Sword Qi.

And this strand of Sword Qi was exactly what he needed.

This time, he didn’t destroy the strand of Sword Qi with a sword strike but instead exuded Golden Light all over, with Divine Force surging, his hands turning into a reddish-gold color as he reached out to grab it.

Deity Sealing Skill was once again deployed.

But this time, the strand of Sword Qi was overly ferocious, shattering even the Divine Force.

Far from being alarmed, Han Yi was delighted. He mobilized the Divine Force of the Divine Aperture World, directly crystallizing it into a Divine Power Crystal, trapping the strand of Sword Qi within the crystal.

The crystal spread out until it completely froze the Sword Qi.

Tens of meters away, the black, faceless phantom seemed to glance at Han Yi one extra time and then pointed its finger at its head.

Han Yi had thought this challenge would become more difficult, expecting the phantom to strike several more swords. Having already acquired a strand of Witch Demon Sword Qi, he just needed to fend off the other Sword Qis, but instead of flying towards him, the Sword Qi that the phantom pointed out this time congealed into a two-finger-wide Sword Token in midair.

The Sword Token was black, slowly floating towards Han Yi. He wrinkled his brow, wrapped it in Divine Force, and pulled it in front of him for a closer look.

On the front of the Sword Token was a depiction of a black demon mountain, bearing a resemblance to Demon Witch Mountain that he had seen outside by a third.

On the back were two complex runes. These runes were not the script of the Daluo Immortal Realm, but Han Yi had seen them once before.

When he had glimpsed the existence of the Ancient Dome Seal in the Ancient Dome Tao Way years ago, the two runes representing ‘Ancient Dome’ sometimes matched the two runes on the back of this Sword Token in their flickering.

Han Yi was shocked.

Could these be… Chaotic Runes?

Right after, the two Chaotic Runes transformed, becoming two characters from the Immortal Realm.

Witch Demon.

At this moment, the phantom that issued the Sword Token spoke slowly:

“Ascend the hundredth level of the Demon Witch Sword Formation to be granted the status of Demon Witch Sword Disciple.”

“Should one reach the thousandth level of the Demon Witch Sword Formation at the Golden Immortal Realm, they may become a Disciple of Demon Witch Mountain.”

Then, the phantom figure put its hands behind its back, motionless as a mountain, and behind it, a mountain path manifested.

Han Yi’s heart stirred.

In other words, this Sword Token bearing the word ‘Witch Demon’ represented the identity of a Demon Witch Sword Disciple, and if he were to cross another nine hundred levels to reach the thousandth, he could become a true Disciple of Demon Witch Mountain.

But this message had never been spread to the outside world.

And throughout the entire Daluo Immortal Realm, although few, there were indeed Golden Immortal Sword Immortals who had reached the hundredth level.

With a thought, Han Yi roughly guessed the reason. It must be that those Sword Immortals had not spoken of it; after all, from this journey of challenges, it was clear that Demon Witch Mountain was not as simple as described by the outside world.

The inheritance of Demon Witch Mountain might involve Chaos, likely connected to a major force within it.

“Demon Witch Mountain!”

Han Yi muttered to himself.

With his current proficiency in Sword Way, even if he continued onward, he could at most reach just over a hundred levels and certainly not a thousand.

Having obtained the Witch Demon Sword Qi he desired, the difference between reaching the hundredth or slightly more levels was insignificant to him.

He secured the Demon Witch Sword Token and then took a step back.

This single step caused the entire space in front of him to rapidly recede. The waist of the mountain where the phantom stood was instantly out of sight.

As space shifted, he found himself outside Demon Witch Mountain, in the very spot where he was about to enter.

Han Yi took off into the air, and before leaving, he saw Du Lang being blasted out of the Demon Witch Sword Formation yet again.

Without lingering, he turned away and departed.

Next, his destination was Abyssal Ghost Pool in the Lingxiao Realm.

He was only one strand of Sword Qi away from the Four Fiendish Sword Qi he needed for Sword Heart.

At the bottom of Abyssal Ghost Pool lay Sword Qi known as Abyssal Ghost, surpassing all in viciousness within the Immortal Realm, and precisely what Han Yi needed.
