<h1text-align:" center"="">Chapter 1117: It's About to Collapse

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"The Shadow Sword Immortal was the possessor of the Shadow Spirit Body. It seems that her reincarnation has already arrived."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing the commotion above the Shadow Sword Immortal's tomb, Zhang Xiu spoke up immediately.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">There was a hint of surprise in her expression.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen smiled and said, "I forgot to tell you, we actually entered this place following the reincarnation of the Shadow Sword Immortal.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Now, she can probably be considered as one of my subordinates."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He then explained to Zhang Xiu everything that had happened with Lin Ying.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"What a coincidence!

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If she can become your subordinate, Mr. Su, it would be an honor for her in this life.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Since her reincarnation has already arrived, it's likely that she will retain some of her past memories and thoughts."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"In that case, there's no need for us to enter. It seems that her aura has almost fully merged."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen and the others nodded silently.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the black pillar of light above the tomb gradually weakened.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, the eerie and sharp aura emanating from the tomb grew stronger.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"The formation around the Shadow Sword Immortal's tomb seems to have disappeared. Does that mean we can go in now?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"All the strange phenomena from earlier have disappeared. It seems that the time has come."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"......"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The hundreds of people around became increasingly excited.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">They stared at the Shadow Sword Immortal's tomb, seemingly ready to make their move.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen and his group also looked on with anticipation. Their eyes fixed on the tomb, and in the next moment, a green light gate formed.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">A figure dressed in black stepped out.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She was tall, with an exquisite face, and her aura was both dark and mysterious.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Who else could it be but Lin Ying?

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">“She’s out! That’s… Senior Sister Lin Ying!”

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Why has Senior Sister Lin Ying's aura become so much stronger?

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As far as I know, she was only at the Mystic Immortal Realm. But now, her aura seems to have surpassed the True Immortal Realm and reached the Immortal Lord level!"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"It really is Lin Ying.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Why has her demeanor changed so much? She used to be the radiant and righteous Flying Snow Sword Immortal.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But it seems that she's gained a tremendous fortune in the Shadow Sword Immortal's tomb.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At the very least, she's inherited the legacy of the Shadow Sword Immortal."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"......"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The crowd started to discuss again, their eyes filled with envy as they looked at Lin Ying.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Lin Ying stepped out of the tomb, her gaze sweeping the area before quickly locking onto Su Jingzhen.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Her expression was still complicated.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After successfully merging with the Shadow Spirit Body and the memories of the Shadow Sword Immortal, she had tried numerous methods to remove the contract mark Su Jingzhen had left in her consciousness.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, no matter what she tried, the mark remained unshaken.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Walking up to Su Jingzhen and the others, she finally bowed before him.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As long as the mark remained, Su Jingzhen would always be her master.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, Zhang Xiu, whom Lin Ying hadn't paid much attention to, smiled and said, "Congratulations, Xiao Ying. You've fully awakened, right?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Upon hearing this, Lin Ying's eyebrows furrowed.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But in the next moment, sensing the unique aura emanating from Zhang Xiu, her expression changed dramatically.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Her body trembled with excitement.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"You... you are... the Sword Ancestor!"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Unlike Zhang Xiu, Lin Ying's consciousness wasn't entirely dominated by her past self. Instead, it was a fusion of both of them.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In fact, the memories and emotions of the Shadow Sword Immortal held more sway.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Her loyalty and complex feelings towards the Sword Ancestor were much stronger.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Realizing this, she immediately knelt down on one knee.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Her demeanor was far more reverent than when she had bowed to Su Jingzhen, her nominal master.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing this, the surrounding disciples were completely shocked.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"What is Senior Sister Lin Ying doing?

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Why is she kneeling down to that Zhang Xiu?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"This is insane! What's going on in the Sword Qi Corridor? Why is everyone acting so strangely?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The discussions continued, but Zhang Xiu paid no mind to them.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She smiled again and said, "You were once the illustrious Shadow Sword Immortal. Now that you've returned, let's join forces once more."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Yes!"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Lin Ying nodded excitedly, not knowing what else to say at this moment.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Zhang Xiu continued, "You should also be aware that our simultaneous return is probably a sign.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The alien races we sealed away back then have probably regained their strength over the years."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Hearing this, Su Jingzhen was reminded of the vision the Sword Ancestor had shown him.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Thinking of the brutal battlefield, his mood grew heavy.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Lin Ying nodded and then looked at Zhang Xiu with fervor. "Even if they return, now that the ancient sword master has come back, we'll surely make them regret it."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly. "You are still as naive as ever.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">You know that we were only responsible for a small part of the battlefield back then.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If they return, who knows what will happen this time?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">......

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After conversing with Lin Ying - or rather, the Shadow Sword Immortal - for a while, Zhang Xiu remained true to her purpose and led the group to their next destination.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"In the Sword Qi Corridor, or rather, in our generation, only Xiao Ying and I had a special constitution.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The others reached their peak through sheer willpower or talent, not through any special constitution.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">So, in my opinion, the only ones likely to return in this life are the two of us.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As for the others, you can take them all into the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. This should greatly aid its recovery."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As she spoke, Zhang Xiu smiled at Su Jingzhen. "Mr. Su, some of the ultimate secrets of this world are gradually being revealed to you.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">You should also be realizing the role you'll play in the future as the holder of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen nodded silently.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Of course, he knew that he was the protagonist.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He had known it since the moment his system had awakened.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Having read so many power fantasy novels in his past life, he was well aware of what a protagonist was supposed to do.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In his view, as long as he had time to grow, no matter what alien races or ultimate bosses appeared, they would all be mere stepping stones.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Whether he was destined to save the world or not, as long as he didn't die and maintained good relationships with his romantic interests, he could quietly develop and handle any crisis.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Over the next two hours, relying on her memories, Zhang Xiu led Su Jingzhen through various tombs in the Sword Qi Corridor.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The number of ancient powerhouses from their era far exceeded Su Jingzhen's expectations.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">There were as many as eighteen individuals who had reached the Immortal Emperor level, on par with the Shadow Sword Immortal and the Drunken Sword Immortal.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After Zhang Xiu revealed her identity as a reincarnated sword master, these former Immortal Emperors of Sword Land agreed without hesitation to let Su Jingzhen absorb them into the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">They had been slumbering here for too long.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Some had already passed on their legacies to Sword Land's disciples over the ages.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Others had yet to pass on anything.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss offered them a chance at eternal existence.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If they could once again fight against the alien races alongside the Sword Ancestor, their blood might still run hot.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After collecting all the Immortal Emperor level remnants, Zhang Xiu led Su Jingzhen to collect the remnants of the Immortal King and Immortal Lord levels as long as their souls were still alive.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Along the way, Su Jingzhen naturally didn't hesitate to collect any treasures that radiated powerful Dao principles.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He left nothing behind.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As he continued to absorb these remnants, Little Green replicated the energy and Dao principles they had comprehended in life.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Once more, the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss grew significantly.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Standing atop Creation Peak, Su Jingzhen's consciousness surveyed the land. The mountains and rivers of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss had mostly taken shape and were brimming with life.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At first glance, it seemed no different from a normal world.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The world energy he could borrow had also grown stronger.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, in contrast to the flourishing Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, Su Jingzhen and the others could clearly sense that the Sword Qi Corridor was becoming increasingly unstable.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Strange energy currents, foreign to the Sword Qi Corridor, began to appear in space.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This was a sign that parts of the Sword Qi Corridor were beginning to collapse.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It was on the brink of destruction!

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Xiu Xiu, it seems like the Sword Qi Corridor is about to collapse."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After collecting the last Immortal Lord, Su Jingzhen looked at Zhang Xiu with a grave expression.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, Zhang Xiu didn't seem too worried.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She casually looked at the surrounding void and smiled. "Once we all leave, this place will lose its purpose.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If it collapses, so be it.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">I've seen how many disciples of the later generations have entered, eager to loot the treasures and fortunes of their ancestors.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If the Sword Qi Corridor were to remain, it would only become a burden for Sword Land."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Beside her, Lin Ying nodded in agreement.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, Su Jingzhen was somewhat speechless.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Every secret realm he had entered, whether it was the Divine Source Secret Realm of the Four Waters Divine Realm, the Divine Dan Sect, or the various realms of the Divine Shepherd Realm, had essentially ceased to exist after his visit.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">While they were discussing this, all the elders had gathered again outside the Sword Qi Corridor in the Sword Land Square.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even the Grand Elder and Second Elder who had left earlier had returned.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Grand Elder, Second Elder, what's going on?

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">I feel that something big has happened in the Sword Qi Corridor."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"The energy inside seems to have been completely drained. Is the Sword Qi Corridor about to collapse?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Fourth Elder looked at the Grand Elder and the Second Elder, his expression filled with anxiety.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even the Third Elder, Chen Yunsong, looked uneasy.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">They had forcibly opened the Sword Qi Corridor before, even sending disciples in every year to try their luck.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But this had never happened before.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"This has never happened before. The Sword Master should have been able to sense it. Why hasn't he appeared yet?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"If the Sword Qi Corridor is really lost, the damage to Sword Land would be immeasurable.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even if the Sword Master doesn't appear, we must open it again and take a look.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">We must end this event early."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After sensing the situation for a few more seconds, the Grand Elder made a decisive call.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Second Elder, Third Elder, Fourth Elder, get ready."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Grand Elder took charge. Despite the Third Elder's lingering hatred, he didn't falter.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The elders formed hand seals, each casting several spiritual runes.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Once again, they opened the entrance to the Sword Qi Corridor between the two snowy mountains.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, the moment it opened, a chaotic storm of energy surged out.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Several mangled corpses came along with it.
