Giving Birth But Not Raising, Why Are You Crying Now That I’ve Become an Immortal Emperor? - Chapter 26 - Chapter 26 – Qin Yao’s Deep Regret! Swears to Make Amends! The Immortal Sword Taibai!

“Boom!!!”

The Sword Forest stirred, a thousand swords rang out, and the vast sword intent soared into the sky, seemingly attempting to pierce the heavens.

“How is this possible!!!”

“So many swords, all moved by one person?! Unprecedented!”

At this moment, everyone present, regardless of their cultivation level, was captivated by the sight of the vast array of swords in the sky, their eyes filled with shock and astonishment.

Since the Sword Forest grand meeting began years ago, no one had ever been able to cause such a phenomenon!

On the high platform, Liu Ruoxue’s beautiful eyes were fixed on the tall figure standing in front of the Sword Forest. As always, she became infatuated and excitedly cheered, “Wow! He actually triggered such a spectacular scene, truly deserving to be my Brother Ye Tian!”

Liu Ruohong echoed her praise, “Yes, Ye Tian’s talent in swordsmanship is truly terrifying.”

Beside them, Qin Yao stared blankly at Ye Lingyun, who was sitting cross-legged below, her eyes revealing ripples of emotion, as countless complicated feelings surged within her heart.

This child, such unparalleled talent.

She wondered, if he really was her son, would he forgive her, this unqualified mother, when he learned of the events from years ago?

It would probably be hard for him to accept her as an unworthy mother, but this child had drifted alone for twenty years, enduring countless hardships. She vowed she would do everything in her power to make up for it.

Her thoughts ran wild, but her gaze gradually became resolute.

At this moment, the onlookers were all shaken by the scene, and chaos broke out among the crowd.

Among them were many individuals of great insight, able to sense the fluctuations of the sword heart in the mysterious aura rising from Ye Lingyun. They immediately cried out in amazement, “Wait, this kid has grasped the Exquisite Sword Heart in front of the Sword Forest?!”

“This is an extraordinary talent! The Exquisite Sword Heart can only be comprehended by a peerless genius!”

“Good heavens, it seems that our human race has produced a once-in-a-century genius!”

“This is great! Now, the Immortal Ancient Stage in three years will be even more exciting!”

…

On a high platform at the back, Daoist Changmei raised his head and gazed at the Sword Forest, his eyes flashing with sharp light.

Such a genius, barely in his twenties, with this kind of swordsmanship talent. If we could take him as a disciple and nurture him carefully, in time, he might preserve our Mount Shu’s name for a thousand years.

Daoist Changmei was deep in thought and quickly shared his idea with several elders of Mount Shu nearby.

As expected, this sparked a heated discussion among the higher-ups of Mount Shu.

At their level, most had already reached the pinnacle of cultivation or had been stuck at a bottleneck for years without breakthroughs. Naturally, they would not put all their focus on cultivation alone.

In fact, many of Mount Shu’s elders would also consider their legacy and reputation after death.

Now, seeing such a promising young talent, excitement spread across their faces.

This was an opportunity not to be missed!

In front of the Sword Forest, Ye Lingyun remained calm as he sat cross-legged. Above him, thousands of swords swirled around, their blades gleaming with sharp light, forming a magnificent display.

The overwhelming sword intent surged like waves, spreading in all directions, as if ready to cover the world.

The terrifying pressure expelled all the young people from the Sword Forest, leaving only Ye Lingyun standing firm.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Myriad sword shadows whistled through the air, and with a series of cracking sounds, several brilliant rays of light descended from the sky, floating around Ye Lingyun.

The swords shimmered as they hovered around him, their blades vibrating and emitting faint hums.

If one were to observe closely, they would sense that these swords carried a mysterious spiritual essence, releasing a sense of warmth and familiarity, quite extraordinary.

Jade Dragon, Snow Wind, Long Life.

The ancient inscriptions on the sword hilts gradually revealed themselves, all of them being renowned holy-grade spiritual swords from Mount Shu’s Sword Forest!

The onlookers were in awe of the sight before them.

Just a moment ago, only a single holy-grade spiritual sword had appeared, which led to a confrontation with the demon clan’s Li Yang. Now, so many holy-grade spiritual swords had emerged at once. If someone were to incite conflict, it could easily lead to a brutal battle.

So many holy-grade spiritual swords, all at Ye Lingyun’s disposal! How terrifying!

Ye Lingyun calmly observed the spiritual swords floating before him but did not immediately choose one. Instead, he frowned slightly, looking troubled. He turned to the back platform and, scratching his nose awkwardly, asked, “Daoist, as you can see, all these swords are drawn to me. Is it possible to take them all?”

Upon hearing this, Daoist Changmei’s eye twitched.

This kid, asking to take them all at once…

Though Daoist Changmei was taken aback, he did not refuse outright. Instead, he frowned and fell into deep thought.

Such a situation had never happened before, especially with Ye Lingyun’s special circumstances. Mount Shu was also interested in taking him as a disciple.

After a moment, Daoist Changmei relaxed his expression and smiled faintly, responding, “Hehe, young friend, your swordsmanship talent is indeed astounding. I have never seen anything like it in my life. However, the purpose of our sword selection ceremony is to ensure that these thousand swords are not wasted. If all these swords were to belong to you alone, it would go against the original intent of our Mount Shu.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingyun could not help but helplessly curl his lips, dispelling the impractical thought.

However, at that moment, Daoist Changmei suddenly changed his tone, his face still smiling, and continued, “However, these thousand swords were drawn by you, young friend, a gift from the heavens. You may choose three to take with you.”

At these words, Ye Lingyun’s heart lifted again.

Three swords—it would do.

He smiled lightly and bowed his hands in thanks to Daoist Changmei, then his gaze once again fell on the dozens of spiritual swords floating in front of him as he began to choose.

The Snow Wind sword—he could give it to Xue Yi. She had taught him how to practice the sword and had accompanied him for many years, so they shared a deep bond.

With a wave of his hand, the slender, ice-cold sword fell into his grasp.

The Long Life sword—he could give this to Chu Xi, the name itself carrying a good meaning.

Ye Lingyun once again took a sword radiant with the light of the sunset and placed it into his storage.

Finally, he still had to choose one for himself.

He carefully studied the remaining swords, indecisive.

At that moment, his sword heart stirred unexpectedly!

His gaze shifted, and he turned toward the deeper part of the Sword Forest, his eyes narrowing slowly.

Within his spiritual sense, he clearly perceived that there was still one more sword deeper in the Sword Forest!

Seeing him suddenly stop his selection, the onlookers immediately began murmuring.

“Why did he stop halfway through? Isn’t he going to choose the last sword?”

“Which one is he going to choose?”

At this moment, Daoist Changmei seemed to sense something, and an expression of surprise appeared on his old face as he muttered, “It’s the immortal sword. This kid is trying to gain its approval.”

“Taibai!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was shocked.

To earn the Taibai sword’s approval was no easy task!

Most of the top talents in the Nine Provinces had tried.

Even the current number one on the Nine Provinces Prodigy Ranking, Xiao Wushuang of the Xiao family, had failed.

Apart from the Nine Provinces Holy Lands, there were many ancient families, such as the Xiao family, the Dongfang family, and others.

For instance, Dongfang Yuqing hailed from the Dongfang family.

And then there was the Ye family, where Ye Lingyun’s grandfather belonged to the main branch of the Ye family and held a high status because of his peak cultivation at the Ascension realm.

Xiao Wushuang came from the Xiao family, had countless resources to cultivate, and was born with the innate sword body, yet he still failed to gain Taibai’s approval.

That’s why, everyone thought that for Ye Lingyun to succeed was extremely difficult!

In front of the Sword Forest, Ye Lingyun immersed himself in his perception.

Suddenly, his consciousness flowed out of his body and appeared in a Sword Tomb.

In the depths of the Sword Forest, broken and shattered spiritual swords were scattered everywhere, all of them destroyed by Taibai. Behind each shattered sword, the faint image of an unparalleled strong cultivator could be seen, but the swords were still broken!

At the very center of the Sword Tomb, a lone sword quietly floated.

The sword was ancient and slender, its body a deep azure, and as its light shimmered, an ethereal immortal aura dispersed from it, exuding a strange and divine presence.

The Taibai Immortal Sword!
