“Sword Intent Reaching Divinity?” Many cultivators were curious. Many were also brought by their sects to see the world, but they were only newly formed Qi Refinement cultivators, novices who had not yet entered the Point Illumination stage.
Listening to the discussions of the old cultivators, they were all puzzled.
“Sword Intent Reaching Divinity is a realm of swordsmanship. To be able to unite one's will with the sword in hand is called Sword Intent Reaching Divinity. To reach this realm, the sword is the person, and the person is the sword. Where the will goes, the sword naturally follows. It is rare for anyone in the world to reach this realm. Even among the prodigies and holy sons of the hundred sects, there are only a few who can reach such a realm. Now, to be able to see two people reach this realm at the same time is truly a rare sight.”
The old cultivators sighed one after another, and the novices finally understood how powerful the two people in the Mountain and River Realm were. Looking at the projection again, the expressions in their eyes were also different.
As expected, it was not a mistake to come to this Divine Offering Ceremony. It had only just begun, and they were already able to see such experts exchanging blows.
Luo Ji, who was on the side, was quite worried. She kept staring at the projected illusion of Jiang Wen. After all, she had received his favor these days, so she naturally did not want her benefactor to be defeated.
Her heart clenched tightly, Luo Ji felt like she didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Within the illusion, the swordsmanship was profound. She couldn't understand it, but she could still feel it.
“Don't worry, he's fine.” Xue's voice came from the side, instantly calming Luo Ji's originally suspended heart.
“That girl from the Myriad Manifestation Clan is no match for him.”
Xue watched the battle in the Mountain and River Realm, and she had a inexplicable confidence in Jiang Wen. She always felt that this person was like her master, with endless trump cards. No one could know what methods he had left, but he could always step forward to solve everything in times of crisis.
“Don't disappoint me.” Xue thought to herself.
At this moment, in front of the Divine Farmer Hall, divine light flickered. Auspicious beasts prostrated, and golden-armored divine generals stood solemnly with weapons in hand. Colorful flags fluttered like rainbows, and white clouds fell into the mortal world like subjects. Cultivators from the hundred sects sat on the clouds, each with divine light protecting their bodies, and illusions arising everywhere. And in the center of the countless people, a woman in bright clothes sat lazily on a dragon chair made of the skull of a Flood Dragon. Attendant girls surrounded her like clouds, each as beautiful as a celestial being. Ministers sat side by side below, each from different races. Some had bodies tens of feet tall, with fierce tiger eyes. Some were only half a foot tall, sitting on the table, raising their cups to drink. Some were born with four eyes, with golden light shining within. Some had red skin and blue hair, spouting fire and swallowing water as they spoke.
Everyone had their own unique abilities, and everyone was a great power. Only to say that the divine might was vast and mighty, and no one dared to be presumptuous here.
Only the immortals of the hundred sects were respectful to the woman on the throne. Even the saints sitting on the clouds did not dare to overstep the rules against her.
The woman supported her face with one hand, lazily watching the affairs in the Mountain and River Realm. Occasionally, she would glance over, and then fall into slumber again.
Black-robed Xiu Qi, who was on the side, revealed a helpless expression in his eyes upon seeing this. However, he knew what he should and should not do, so he picked up his wine cup and drank it. He watched the projected illusion and discovered Jiang Wen's trace. Opening his eyes to look carefully, he saw that he was fighting swordsmanship with a girl from the Myriad Manifestation Clan.
“Interesting.” Xiu Qi smiled.
“Marquis Limitless, who are you saying is interesting?” The giant beside him picked up a bronze cauldron and drank all the wine in it in one gulp. Then, he looked at Xiu Qi, a simple and honest smile on his face. This giant was none other than Marquis Giant Heaven, one of the four great marquises under the Heavenly King. Don't look at his simple and honest appearance, but Xiu Qi knew that this person was very shrewd, completely lacking the simple and honest character of the Giant race.
“Why is Marquis Giant Heaven also curious?” Xiu Qi smiled, holding his wine cup toasting Marquis Giant Heaven. Then, he drank it and looked at the empty table opposite him.
“Marquis Four Sages has often not been by the Heavenly King's side these days, and I always feel that she has had a change of heart.” Marquis Giant Heaven put down the bronze cauldron, wiped the wine from his mouth, and said calmly. His voice was enough for the Heavenly King, who was lying on the dragon chair, to hear, but the woman in bright clothes did not pay him any attention.

“Xue cannot have a change of heart.” Xiu Qi retorted flatly. “She cares more about the Celestial Abyss City than you do, and she is also someone who would never betray the Celestial Abyss City.”
“Is that so? But I heard that Marquis Four Sages inexplicably appointed a person as the Azure Dragon Envoy, and also gave him the power to control the Azure Dragon Army. You must know that the Azure Dragon Envoy is the supervisor of the Four Forbidden Armies. Without the Heavenly King's oral decree, how could she easily confer such a title? Neither you nor I have received a notice about this matter. If I didn't have secret information, I wouldn't know about this.” Marquis Giant Heaven sneered, saying what he knew.
“Now it is the Divine Offering Ceremony, and Marquis Four Sages is not here but has gone elsewhere. Could it be that she does not have the Heavenly King in her eyes?” Marquis Giant Heaven said, slamming his hand on the table. The resounding sound echoed, causing the ministers below the hall to look sideways.
However, when they saw that the commotion was coming from the four seats beside the Heavenly King, they did not dare to speak. After all, the ministers all knew that there were contradictions between the four marquises. Whether it was Marquis Giant Heaven or Marquis Four Sages, they each disliked the other. But these things were not something they could interfere with. After all, the four marquises were the greatest under the Heavenly King. Any marquis could easily turn the entire Great Azure upside down with a flick of their finger.
“Marquis Four Sages naturally has her own affairs, and the Heavenly King has not asked about them. On the other hand, it is you, Marquis Giant Heaven, who always has trouble with her. Could it be that you harbor resentment and have a personal feud with Xue, which is why you are like this?” Xiu Qi said mercilessly, seeing the giant's face turn ugly. His eyes stared at Xiu Qi, like a primeval beast, wanting to devour him completely.
“Marquis Limitless!” Marquis Giant Heaven was greatly enraged by Xiu Qi's words. He slammed the table and stood up, his body more than twenty feet tall, like a small mountain, standing majestically in front of Xiu Qi.
“Hmph, if you want to fight, then I will fulfill you.” Xiu Qi snorted coldly, holding his wine cup and drinking quietly. A black shadow appeared behind him, turning into a giant phantom of dozens of feet, confronting Marquis Giant Heaven. In that phantom, a pair of scarlet eyes stared intently at Marquis Giant Heaven, causing his heart to tremble, and the original monstrous fighting spirit immediately dissipated by three points.
“You, good, good! Marquis Limitless, do you really want to tear apart the relationship with my Giant race?!” Marquis Giant Heaven spat out the words with a look of resentment.
“If you continue to have trouble with Xue, then don't blame me for being ruthless. Don't think that just because your Giant race has made contributions to the Celestial Abyss City, I will repeatedly allow you to slander Xue.” Xiu Qi said coldly, his gaze sharp, sweeping across Marquis Giant Heaven's body.
The atmosphere in the Divine Farmer Hall was tense, and the hundred ministers did not dare to breathe loudly. After all, this struggle between kings and marquises was not something that small people like them could interfere with.
At this moment, they heard a calm voice from the dragon throne.
“Sit down, let this matter be concluded.”
Xiu Qi and Marquis Giant Heaven tightened their faces and rose to bow to the woman on the throne: “We respectfully obey the Heavenly King's decree.”
