Starting as a clan leader: My rules are a bit wild.

"Thank you."

Sanye followed behind Huangtian Sword Master.

After walking all the way through the Sword Palace, he finally opened a secret room inside the cave!

The secret room is guarded by at least dozens of formations, prohibitions, and barriers, making it impregnable. If one does not know the solution, even a being at the peak of the ninth realm will find it difficult to break through in a short period of time.

even···

Even with the 'key', it still took Desolate Sword Master half an hour to 'open' and 'remove' them all.

Later, Mitsuha saw a mysterious altar.

It seems like a whisperer of time, quietly telling the glory and vicissitudes of the past.

The altar is built of huge stones from unknown ages. Time has left indelible marks on it, and the cracks are like the veins of time, winding and intertwining.

If you look closely, you can find that the altar is covered with various ancient traces, which tell of the fierceness and tragedy of the past.

Some sword marks were deeply embedded in the stone, while others were as fine as a weave, as if they were the witnesses of countless clashes of weapons in the great war.

Some are rough and powerful, like a hero's peerless sword. Even today, one can still feel the earth-shaking power and shocking sword light.

These sword marks have become blurred after years of erosion, but they still reveal an indomitable will, and the sword intent remains strong after countless years.

There were traces of blood all over the altar.

They had long lost their bright colors and turned into dark red or dark brown lines, blending in with the altar.

These bloodstains seem to be the tears of history, recording countless sacrifices and vows.

They silently tell the stories of warriors who sacrificed their lives for their beliefs and glory, making everyone who gazes at them feel awe.

In the center of the altar, there is a slightly concave circular area, on which there seem to be traces of some kind of ritual.

The surrounding stones are engraved with complex totems and symbols, which may be symbols of ancient gods, or seals of some mysterious power.

These totems have become blurred over the years, but one can still feel a mysterious and powerful force surging through them.

The whole altar seems to be a huge mystery, waiting for the destined person to solve it. It stands there quietly, witnessing the changes and reincarnation of the world, and also guarding those unknown secrets and legends.

Sanye looked at the ring for a long time.

I don’t know if I was immersed in it for a moment or if I was distracted.

“I got it by accident.”

Desolate Heaven Sword Master stepped forward, stroked the ring, and whispered: "At that time, I was not the master of the Great Desolate Sword Palace, but the Saint Son of the Sword Palace of that generation."

"During that time, I traveled around the world, challenged all the sword masters in the world, and claimed to be invincible in my time, and I wanted the whole world to witness it together."

"It was during that period that I accidentally entered a secret realm of swordsmanship."

"After going through many dangers and defeating many powerful enemies, I finally got it."

"An ancient and mysterious altar."

"I have studied for many years but have not achieved any results. However, the sword marks on this altar and the sword truth that has remained strong for who knows how many years have passed make me obsessed and fascinated."

"After that, I spent nearly ten thousand years meditating and practicing."

"Finally I have learned the Way of the Desolate Sword."

"It can almost be said to be my mentor."

Mitsuha nodded gently: "I see."

“Not many people in the Sword Palace know of its existence.” Desolate Sky Sword Master sighed, “And it was not until recently that people really knew its function.”

Sanye asked, "Is it related to your search for the Ninth Realm Sword Cultivator all over the world?"

"···"

"Yes."

Lord Huangtian Sword nodded.

"That day, I sat cross-legged on the ring as usual, contemplating the way of the sword and improving myself."

"But suddenly the arena shook."

"Then..."

He looked shocked: "An incarnation walked out from the ring and suppressed me with just one sword."

"Later, I learned that he came from the upper realm, from the Great Wall of Sword Qi!"

"but···"

"He didn't come to look for me, but the Sword Qi Great Wall is in danger and needs a Ninth Realm Sword Cultivator to join the battle."

“At least dozens!”

"Although there are many ninth-level sword cultivators in my Sword Palace, it would be a huge loss if we were to mobilize dozens of them at once, so..."

Desolate Sky Sword Master sighed: "But for these sword cultivators, going to the Sword Qi Great Wall is a risk, but also an opportunity."

"If they can survive, they can obtain the immortal sword and practice the true immortal sword technique. Their strength will increase much faster than before, and..."

"Anyway."

"That figure taught me how to activate the altar."

"Afterwards, I helped him find some ninth-level sword cultivators and sent them to the Sword Qi Great Wall."

"If you are sure you want to go, I can activate the altar for you."

"but···"

"Have you thought about it?"

Sanye did not respond immediately, but sighed and asked, "You and I are both top swordsmen, with a strong sword heart. Don't you feel ashamed for saying such a dishonest thing?"

Desolate Sky Sword Master was silent.

"There are some things I can't say."

He sighed softly: "In the eyes of others, I am the high and mighty Holy Lord."

"But what am I compared to them?"

"That's all."

"This matter is indeed beyond your ability."

Mitsuha sighed, "Open the altar."

"Send me to... the Sword Qi Great Wall!"

"you···"

Desolate Heaven Sword Master was stunned: "Since you know that what I said is a lie, why did you go there?"

"because···"

Mitsuha murmured, "They are waiting for me."

"···"

There was silence again.

Desolate Heaven Sword Master said softly: "Then you must be prepared."

"Although I don't know what the Sword Qi Great Wall is, the two brief indirect contacts I had with it always gave me a feeling that something was wrong."

"If I'm not mistaken."

"The Sword Qi Great Wall shouldn't be like this."

"So, I must go there." All the leaves of the three leaves were swaying, and even the ninth leaf had vaguely grown pointed corners.

"it is good."

Desolate Heaven Sword Master nodded: "I'll take you there."

"I hope that one day in the future, you and I can meet again."

"We'll meet again if we are destined."

After a brief exchange, Lord Huangtian Sword said no more.

He took out a variety of precious materials, including three pieces of fairy gold, and then melted them all and injected them into various parts of the altar.

The next moment, the ancient runes on the altar, which were full of traces of time, even mottled and cracked, lit up one after another, forming a strange magic circle.

The magic circle changed and surged.

Finally, it turned into a void portal.
