These thoughts made Wu Tian instantly invigorated, and he said,
"If that's the case, then this is truly great news!"
"I believe that there must be a ten-star Grand Unity Golden Immortal in this world. As long as I open the Sacred Dragon Treasure, this world will be saved!"
The Sword God said, "You are not wrong, but you cannot rely too much on the power of Immortal Kings."
"The power of Immortal Kings is ultimately limited, and even beings like the Sacred Dragon and Heavenly Phoenix could only kill the Demon Lord by self-detonating."
"Therefore, the one who can truly save the world is you. You must cultivate diligently."
"Only when you possess power that surpasses the Sacred Dragon will this world truly be saved."
"Power that surpasses the Sacred Dragon..." These words made Wu Tian feel a bit apprehensive.
This was not the first time he had heard such words.
When he ascended to immortality, the Sacred Dragon had also said that he possessed such potential.
However, that realm was still too distant for him.
With his current level, he truly didn't know what to do.
The Sword God also saw Wu Tian's concerns and said, "Alright, don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"These things cannot be achieved overnight. Let's take it slow."
"First, you should absorb the life essence of this Overlord Demon Emperor. With my help, you can absorb it within half an hour."
Wu Tian nodded, then said nothing more. He directly circulated his immortal energy and drew the mass of black energy into his body.
"Embrace the origin, proceed step by step, and remember not to be too hasty."
The Sword God said, placing a palm on Wu Tian and enveloping him with a barrier of immortal energy.
Wu Tian sat cross-legged within the barrier, with strange fluctuations constantly rising around him. It seemed he had entered a state of cultivation.
Then, the Sword God turned his gaze to Shen Fengyao and smiled, saying, "Little girl, you are no ordinary person either."
Given Shen Fengyao's age, the term "little girl" was somewhat strange.
But the Sword God had lived for who knew how many years, so Shen Fengyao did not say much about this address.
She asked, "I wonder why Your Excellency the Sword God says this?"
The Sword God sized up Shen Fengyao and said, "This kid doesn't know what's going on with you, but I do."
"You possess the inheritance of the Burning Heaven Demonic Tiger, and the Burning Heaven Demonic Tiger was once one of the five super spirit beasts. Even I might not be its match."
"And more importantly, the Burning Heaven Demonic Tiger inherited a key to the Sacred Dragon Treasure. That key is currently within you, isn't it?"
"It is precisely because of this that you can possess a trace of Sacred Dragon power."
"This kid already has two keys within him. When do you plan to give him the third key?"
Upon hearing the Sword God's words, Shen Fengyao's expression immediately changed subtly.
She was silent for a moment, then said, "This is my mission. I will do what I must."
"It's just that I didn't expect the Sacred Dragon power to be with him."
Speaking of this, she glanced at Wu Tian, a hint of complexity appearing in her beautiful eyes.
Her relationship with Wu Tian had not been very good before.
Although she had not fought with Wu Tian at that time out of consideration for Ling Jianxiao,
She had disliked Wu Tian in her heart and planned to resolve their conflict after leaving the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect.
However, she hadn't expected Wu Tian's identity to be so formidable.
Coupled with the fact that Wu Tian had saved her, even though she was somewhat unwilling, she found that she couldn't dislike Wu Tian anymore.
Thus, time slowly passed, and half an hour arrived.
The Sword God had been sensing Wu Tian's aura. At this moment, the corners of his mouth curved into a smile, and he said softly,
"Good, it seems he has succeeded."
As soon as the Sword God's voice fell, Wu Tian suddenly opened his eyes!
Golden lightning flashed in his eyes, and instantly, the sky changed drastically.
Dark clouds enveloped the sky, and with the sound of thunder, myriad lightning bolts erupted from within the clouds!
"This is..." Shen Fengyao's pupils contracted slightly as she sensed Wu Tian's aura.
The Sword God smiled and said, "You guessed correctly, Wu Tian has now... successfully advanced to Grand Unity Golden Immortal!"
"Hah!"
Wu Tian let out a loud roar, directly shattering the barrier set by the Sword God, and then slowly walked out into the air.
Each step was accompanied by the sound of thunder, as if representing the pressure of the heavens.
He stopped in front of the Sword God, cupped his fists, and said, "Your Excellency the Sword God, thank you for your guidance!"
The Sword God smiled and said, "Alright, I haven't helped you much."
"All of this is your own fortune."
"If you didn't possess the Sacred Dragon power, how could you absorb demonic energy?"
Wu Tian smiled slightly and then clenched his fist.
He deeply felt the pure energy flowing through his meridians, and with each breath, it felt as if he could connect with heaven and earth.
Mobilizing the energy of heaven and earth with every move...
This was the prerogative of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal!
Shen Fengyao was stunned by the side.
Just a few days ago, she was confident she could defeat Wu Tian.
But at this very moment, Wu Tian's strength had completely surpassed hers!
Becoming a Grand Unity Golden Immortal in his early twenties...
Was this something a human could achieve?
The Sword God nodded slightly and continued to smile, "Alright, since this matter is completed, then what I needed to do is considered completely done."
"The timing is as I predicted. Next, I should leave this world."
Wu Tian was startled and quickly said, "Your Excellency the Sword God, are you really going to dissipate?"
"What about the Sword Tomb? As long as you return to the Sword Tomb, can't you continue to maintain your energy form?"
The Sword God smiled and said, "Kid, have you forgotten what I told you?"
"To complete the inheritance as quickly as possible, the Sword Tomb no longer exists."
"But you don't need to be sad for me. I have lived long enough, and it is time to say goodbye."
"This world will be your dominion from now on. Whether it's you or Li Xingyun, I am particularly satisfied..."
"Therefore, this world is entrusted to you."
"Little ones, I hope you all go smoothly..."
After saying this, the Sword God showed a gentle smile, and specks of light began to dissipate from his body.
In Wu Tian's horrified gaze, the Sword God's aura vanished, and Li Xingyun's personality regained control of the body.
"Your Excellency the Sword God..."
At this moment, he was no longer as frivolous as before, and a deep sorrow appeared on his face.
Clearly, even though he hadn't controlled the body, he was fully aware of what was happening outside.
He turned to look at the empty sky, remained silent for a long time, and then clenched his fists tightly.
