Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 2771: Change

Translator: Legge

The news that the Sword World was about to establish the ninth Sword Peak spread rapidly among the eight Sword Peaks, causing a huge commotion and the cultivators were in an uproar.

Even the Immortal King experts cultivating in Myriad Sword Palace were shocked.

What shocked many sword cultivators even more was that the Peak Master of the ninth Sword Peak had already been decided. It was not the many Immortal Kings of Myriad Sword Palace, but Su Zhu, a Celestial Being Perfected Immortal who had only been in the Sword World for slightly more than three years!

This outcome exceeded the expectations of all the sword cultivators.

Be it in terms of cultivation realm, seniority, connections or foundation, there were too many cultivators in the Sword World who were above Su Zimo.

Not to mention, the status of a Peak Master was extremely important!

Even many Immortal King experts cultivating in Myriad Sword Palace did not receive such treatment.

For the past few days, Immortal Kings of Myriad Sword Palace would visit the cave abodes of the eight Peak Masters every day and ask about this matter.

The eight of them could not say it explicitly and could only say that this was the Iron Crown Old Man’s decision.

Hearing that, the Immortal Kings no longer questioned.

There were three decision makers in the Sword World and the Iron Crown Old Man was one of them.

Although the three of them were old, they were once the strongest Emperors of the Sword World and made supreme reputations in the trichiliocosm back then!

The three of them were the key reason why the Sword World was a super large world in this generation.

The experts cultivating in Myriad Sword Palace now, be it Immortal Kings or Emperors, had more or less been guided by the three of them.

The Immortal King experts respected the Iron Crown Old Man and the other two from the bottom of their hearts.

On the side of the eight Peak Masters, apart from dealing with the Immortal Kings of Myriad Sword Palace, they had to deal with the tens of millions of sword cultivators who were in an uproar!

There were more than a thousand legacy disciples under each Sword Peak.

Among the eight Sword Peaks, there were at least 2,000 legacy disciples whose cultivation realms were above Su Zimo’s!

“What’s up with this Su Zhu? Wasn’t he just Junior Sister Beiming’s master previously? How did he suddenly become the ninth Peak Master in the blink of an eye?”

“I heard that this person has already comprehended the peerless divine power, the Immortal Vanquishing Sword.”

“Even if he comprehended the Immortal Vanquishing Sword, there’s no need to make such a huge deal, right? Why open a ninth Sword Peak for him and even make him the Peak Master?”

“Indeed, no matter you look at it, Su Zhu doesn’t seem to be that capable.”

Wang Dong, Gong Sunyu, Sword Immortal Tai Lai, Ye Wuchen and the other top Perfected Immortals of the eight Sword Peaks gathered together and discussed this matter.

Li Xue of Fiend Sword Peak frowned and asked, “Brother Wang, do you know what happened? Why did they suddenly want to establish the ninth Sword Peak and let an outsider become the Peak Master?”

Wang Dong said, “I only know that Fellow Daoist Su Zhu has indeed comprehended the peerless divine power, the Immortal Vanquishing Sword. Later on, he was brought away by the Peak Masters to Myriad Sword Palace.” “Thereafter, news of the ninth Sword Peak spread.”

Pausing for a moment, Wang Dong smiled bitterly. “Brother Li, Fellow Daoist Su Zhu can’t be considered an outsider now. Instead, he’s the Peak Master of the ninth Sword Peak. If we see him again in the future, well have to treat him with respect.”

“Hmph!”

Li Xue did not reply and merely harrumphed softly.

Gong Sunyu said in a deep voice, “Not long after Su Zhu arrived at Myriad Sword Palace, the sword stele resonated. Thereafter, a terrifying Sword Intent descended. Perhaps that’s related to the ninth Sword Peak?”

Qin Zhong of Tyrant Sword Peak was a little displeased and shouted, “So what if the sword stele resonated? When Sister Beiming underwent Tribulation Transcendence, the sword stele resonated as well. However, nobody mentioned anything about opening a ninth Sword Peak for her.”

Sword Immortal Tai Lai shook his head as well. “Most importantly, it’s indeed difficult to convince the masses to let a Celestial Being Perfected Immortal become a Peak Master. Isn’t that a little ridiculous?”

Shen Yue nodded and said as well, “Let’s not talk about others. Just any one of us is above Su Zhu in terms of cultivation, qualifications, connections and combat strength.”

“Although he comprehended the peerless divine power, the Immortal Vanquishing Sword, he’s only at the Celestial Being realm after all. His Essence Spirit is limited and he can’t unleash the full power of the Immortal Vanquishing Sword.”

“Amitabha.”

Monk Jue Jian of Zen Sword Peak nodded slightly as well. “Even if we had to choose someone from the Perfected Immortals, Lin Xunzhen is probably the most qualified one.”

Ye Wuchen, who was also from Extreme Sword Peak, was expressionless and merely said indifferently, “It’s a pity that this person’s cultivation realm is not high enough and he’s not qualified to fight me fairly. Otherwise, I’d like to spar with him.”

With the past three years, the few of them were relatively familiar with Su Zimo.

However, prior to this, they only treated him as a guest from afar and treated him with respect as peers of the same generation.

However, now that Su Zimo had become the Peak Master of the ninth Sword Peak in a single leap and his status was above the few of them, they could not help but feel upset.

Of course, Wang Dong and the others were only complaining. They would not really cause trouble.

After all, this was a decision made by an Emperor expert of the Sword World. Even if they were dissatisfied, they could not change it.

Even the eight Peak Masters did not say anything, so they could only accept it.

Li Xue flicked his nails which clanked. “Although he’s the Peak Master of the ninth Sword Peak, he needs capabilities to be able to establish himself in the Sword World!”

“There’s still a long way to go. I want to see how famous the ninth Sword Peak that was established for him will be in the future.” Follow current novᴇls on NovᴇlFire(.)nᴇt

There were often spars and fights between the eight Sword Peaks.

Now, there was another ninth Sword Peak.

Although it was comparable to the eight Sword Peaks in name, if it were to consistently rank last in the spars between the Sword Peaks, it would definitely attract even greater criticism.

After this matter spread in the Sword World, Su Zimo could clearly sense a subtle change in the attitudes of the sword cultivators towards him.

When Wang Dong and the others saw him, they would still pay respects as juniors according to the rules.

However, the way they looked at him seemed much more distant and colder.

Su Zimo was not surprised by this change.

On the one hand, due to the sudden change in his identity, making him comparable to the eight Peak Masters, he was suddenly above Wang Dong and the others in terms of status and seniority. It was difficult for Wang Dong and the others to accept that right away.

There would definitely be some estrangement between them.

On the other hand, it was also because Wang Dong and the others were definitely dissatisfied with him being the Peak Master of the ninth Sword Peak.

Wang Dong and the others could not be blamed for that indeed.

He had just arrived in the Sword World for more than three years and was only a Celestial Being Perfected Immortal. He had not done anything for the Sword World or made any contributions before ascending to the position of the Peak Master of the ninth Sword Peak. Anyone would feel conflicted.

This was human nature.

Su Zimo could completely understand the attitudes of Wang Dong and the others.

Not only that, as time passed, Su Zimo had an even better impression of Wang Dong’s group and the other sword cultivators.

Although these people were indignant and conflicted, they did not plot against him or cause trouble for him, let alone mock him.

Although they were displeased, they respected the decision of the Sword World and treated Su Zimo as someone from the Sword World and one of their own.

However, if Su Zimo wanted to truly obtain the recognition of the sword cultivators, his status as the Peak Master of the ninth Sword Peak was far from enough.

Su Zimo did not care about that and had no intention of changing things.

To him, the most important thing was to make use of the time he spent cultivating in the Sword World to increase his cultivation as much as possible..

One day, he would kill his way back to the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain and the academy!
