Time passed in a flash, and soon it was midsummer.

The tree-lined paths surrounding the Sword Crafting City were filled with all sorts of martial practitioners.

Because the weather was too hot, the trees in the forest were scorched by the sun.

Most of the people who stayed by the roadside were tea stalls. Although the weather was hot, their foreheads were covered in sweat stains. Their necks were wrapped in towels and they would occasionally take them off to wipe off their sweat.

The people who set up the tea shops all had happy smiles on their faces. It was all thanks to the fact that the Sword Emperor wanted to ascend to the Immortal Realm, which was why they were able to make such a huge profit.

All the martial artists from all over the world had come to participate in the Sword Crafting City's Shattered Ceremony.

These martial artists were at the eighth level of the Postnatal realm, unable to withstand the scorching weather. They sat at the tea stand, drinking tea and making small talk while making some friends.

Because this was a world where martial arts powers ruled over the world, warriors were extremely generous with their money.

"Hey, what level do you think the Sword Emperor has reached in his martial arts cultivation? When he reaches the end of his martial arts cultivation, will he truly be able to shatter space and ascend to the realm of immortals?"

A man who drank a bowl of tea wiped the corner of his mouth and asked the people around him.

"I don't know. I don't think it's that magical. Martial arts are just martial arts and not celestial arts. It's probably just a rumor."

"What he said was wrong. According to the records of our sect, the founder of the True Qi Sect once broke through the void and became an immortal," a scholar said as he shook his head.

"Is that true or false? Why do I feel like your words are so mysterious?"

"We'll know when we get there. We've come late enough, hurry up and we'll regret it for the rest of my life if we miss the scene of the Sword Emperor shattering the void." A middle-aged martial artist lifted his spear and stood up.

"We're on time as well. Great Hero Li Tian's words are reasonable. If we miss the Sword Emperor's Shattered Ceremony, we really will regret it for the rest of our lives."

The rest of the people stood up and rushed towards the Sword Crafting City. After the group of people left, the next group of people arrived from different directions and sat down at the tea stand.

As the center of the sword empire, the Sword Crafting City had already expanded its scope of cultivation.

The four Sword Envoys, who had been promoted to the rank of general, led their soldiers to patrol the city to prevent anyone from causing trouble. Although it was widely believed that no one would dare to cause trouble at the Sword Emperor's Shattered Ceremony, formal work still had to be done.

The Sword Crafting City was huge, but it had suddenly become crowded today. There were cultivators with low cultivation bases, those with high cultivation bases, and even a few Zongshi realm experts in the sky, south, and north of the sea. These people all rushed towards the Sword Crafting City's imperial palace.

There was a school field in the palace that was the size of several football fields, but it was still crowded with people.

It was almost noon when the Sword Saint appeared on the Dragon Carriage.

As Martial Saint, the appearance of the Sword Saint caused a huge commotion.

The scorching sun shone down on everyone. However, no one shouted about the heat. Thus, everyone was eagerly awaiting the appearance of the Sword Emperor.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Li Dao, dressed in white clothes, appeared with his left hand holding the hand of SwordXiong and his right hand holding Li Han.

"The Sword Emperor is here!"

"That's the Sword Emperor! He looks really impressive!"

"I really want to know if the Sword Emperor is able to break through the void. I feel so nervous!"

Although the crowd was clamoring and cheering loudly, Li Dao was in a heavy mood.

Walking to the high platform in the middle of the drill grounds, Li Dao let go of Jian Xiong and her son's hands. He didn't know what to say.

"Go, don't stay any longer. Big Sister Long'er and Big Sister Xing'er are still waiting for you." Han-Er and I will also work hard to catch up to you and come looking for you. "Jian Xiong had a smile on her face as she tidied up Li Dao's collar.

Li Dao nodded his head. Without a word, he turned around and looked at Ren Qianxing.

At this moment, Ren Qianxing's aura was unfathomable. Under Li Dao's guidance, he had already stepped into the realm of a supreme Great Grandmaster. If Li Dao had left, he would definitely be the strongest person in the world.

"Qian Xing, after I leave, I will have you protect Jian Xiong and her mother. I hope you won't disappoint me." Li Dao stepped forward and patted Ren Qianxing's shoulder.

Ren Qianxing raised his head, his blood-red eyes were filled with determination as he replied, "I will never forget the great kindness the Sword Emperor has bestowed upon Qianxing. I will definitely protect the matriarch and the young master and not disappoint you."

"Alright, with you protecting them, I am relieved!"

As Li Dao spoke, he walked to the center of the stage. The four feet and a half long purple blade had already left its scabbard.

His legs were spread out to the same width as his shoulders, his sword rested on his left palm, his body leaned back slightly, and countless dragon scales appeared on his face. The sword technique behind him rose up into the sky, and a sword intent shot up into the clouds.

The clear sky over thousands of miles was as clear as water. Li Dao narrowed his eyes as his aura continued to rise. This time, he was going to shatter the void with his own strength.

Who knew how many people were on the training field, but no one made a sound. Everyone nervously looked at Li Dao. Some were so nervous that they even unconsciously dripped sweat onto their noses.

Amongst the crowd, there were Yan Zang Feng, Liu Yi Yi, the Sai Hua Tuo couple, and Xiao Yao Lang. These people looked at Li Dao with a complicated expression, and it was only when Li Dao was about to break through the void that they realized their previous mistakes.

"Separated by one sword strike!"

Raising his arm upwards, a shocking sword energy rushed out, bringing along an unparalleled sharpness. The powerful voice tore the sky apart, creating a pitch-black void.

Li Dao kept his sword and looked back at Jian Xiong and her mother. He opened his mouth and whispered, "I'm leaving, you must take care!"

Finished speaking, Li Dao flew up into the air and disappeared into the darkness of the space crack.

The sky had returned to its normal state, and the entire drill grounds was in an uproar.

"So when one's martial arts is cultivated to the end, he can really shatter the void and ascend to the Immortal Realm!"

"The Sword Emperor is truly worthy of being called the highest under the heavens in the last thousand years. He truly deserves the title of Sword Emperor!"

"When I go back, I must work hard and cultivate. From now on, the Sword Emperor is my idol. I must follow him as my role model!"

The crowd could not hear what Jian Xiong was saying clearly. At this moment, she had already put away the smile on her face. Her vision blurred as she looked at the spot where Li Dao had disappeared, and her tears flowed like a flood.

Li Han's small hand tugged at the corner of Jian Xiong's shirt as she comforted, "Mother, don't cry anymore. One day we will meet father again."

Jian Xiong embraced Li Han's head and cried incessantly.

The Sword Saint looked at the mother and son and let out a sigh.
