Departure to the Sky Sword Sect

Fengxia Town

Chen Yunxuan had been standing before the graves of the healer girl and her family for three days and three nights.

Know-It-All watched Chen Yunxuan with a complicated expression. After a long silence, he finally spoke slowly.

"You’re really going to the Heavenly Sword Sect?"

"This trip will be a one-way journey."

"Have you thought it through?" Know-It-All asked helplessly.

"Some things go beyond life and death."

"If I don’t go, my heart will never be at peace," Chen Yunxuan replied calmly.

"It’s not worth it!"

"Truly not worth it!"

"Though their family suffered terribly, it’s not worth risking your life like this," Know-It-All urged, his tone tinged with anxiety.

Not worth it?

Chen Yunxuan smiled faintly. Compared to his days in the Great Zhou Kingdom, he had matured greatly.

Though only a little over a year had passed, Chen Yunxuan had experienced far too much.

Perhaps in everyone’s eyes, what he was doing was foolish, not worth the cost—but Chen Yunxuan knew deep down that he had to do it.

It wasn’t about worth. It was about what must be done!

If it was something that must be done, no matter the danger, even if it cost his life, Chen Yunxuan would not retreat.

Foolish?

Perhaps it was.

But at the very least, it would let him face his own conscience.

Seeing Chen Yunxuan’s unwavering resolve, Know-It-All sighed in resignation.

He glanced at the healer girl’s family graves. Truthfully, he didn’t see what the big deal was.

They were merely strangers who crossed paths. Even if the healer girl hadn’t treated Chen Yunxuan, his own strength would have allowed him to recover in time.

There was no life-changing debt of gratitude—so why take such a risk?

"You’re not actually in love with that healer girl, are you?" Know-It-All frowned.

"This has nothing to do with love."

"You wouldn’t understand."

"This time, you don’t have to follow me," Chen Yunxuan said with a smile.

"You think I want to follow you?"

"If you’re hellbent on throwing your life away, go ahead. I’m not done living yet."

"Don’t worry, I won’t be going with you," Know-It-All snapped angrily.

Seeing Know-It-All’s furious expression, Chen Yunxuan chuckled and shook his head.

"Before I leave, let me ask you something."

"What’s your real name?"

Real name?

Know-It-All stared at Chen Yunxuan for a long time. He knew Chen Yunxuan had already suspected and uncovered the truth—he just hadn’t brought it up until now.

"Unforgettable."

"Unforgettable? Why would your parents give you such a name?" Chen Yunxuan asked curiously.

"How should I know? Maybe there was something they couldn’t forget, or perhaps…"

"Just call me Know-It-All. I don’t like the name Unforgettable."

Chen Yunxuan smiled but didn’t press further about the name.

"No wonder you’re so obsessed with gathering information—you’re from the Tianji Pavilion."

"Did Wang Tianji send you to follow me?"

"Yes."

"Go back. From now on, you might not need to follow me anymore."

"If I survive, I’ll visit the Tianji Pavilion for a drink with you someday."

"Brother Wan, farewell!"

Chen Yunxuan turned and walked away, waving a hand behind him without looking back.

Watching Chen Yunxuan’s retreating figure, Know-It-All trembled with frustration.

"Chen Yunxuan, you’re an idiot!"

"From now on, everyone will know that the top-ranked genius on the Human Rankings, Chen Yunxuan, is a fool, a lunatic!"

"Fine! If you want to die so badly, go ahead. I’m not playing along anymore!"

Know-It-All roared at Chen Yunxuan’s back before turning and flying off in the opposite direction.

Chen Yunxuan didn’t look back. His decision to go to the Heavenly Sword Sect was final. No matter how others viewed his actions, he would not change his mind.

One day later

Chen Yunxuan arrived at the Heavenly Sword Sect’s territory. Ahead lay a cliff, and standing at its edge was a figure that made Chen Yunxuan pause.

"Took you long enough."

"I’ve been waiting for ages."

Know-It-All grinned at Chen Yunxuan, his usual carefree demeanor restored.

"What are you doing here?" Chen Yunxuan hadn’t expected Know-It-All to arrive at the Heavenly Sword Sect ahead of him.

"To collect your corpse."

"We’re friends, after all. Can’t just let you rot out here," Know-It-All retorted irritably.

He turned his gaze toward the opposite side of the chasm, his expression grave.

"Beyond this ravine lies the Heavenly Sword Sect."

"Think carefully—one step forward could mean life or death."

Before Know-It-All even finished speaking, Chen Yunxuan smiled and leaped forward, soaring straight toward the Heavenly Sword Sect.

"Should’ve known better than to ask."

Know-It-All shook his head in resignation before chasing after him.

Before the Heavenly Sword Sect’s gates, a sword formation had been set up—its purpose to deter Chen Yunxuan and force him to retreat.

The sect had no desire for a direct confrontation with Chen Yunxuan.

Not because they feared him, but because they believed someone like him shouldn’t die here.

More importantly, Chen Yunxuan’s origins were shrouded in mystery. No one knew his background, and such a person was not to be trifled with lightly.

Besides, this time… the Heavenly Sword Sect was in the wrong.

"You think this puny sword formation can make me back down?"

"You underestimate me, Chen Yunxuan!"

Facing the formation, Chen Yunxuan showed no hesitation—only soaring battle intent!

Know-It-All hadn’t been with Chen Yunxuan for too long, but he knew one thing: Chen Yunxuan was a madman.

A battle junkie!

If he wasn’t fighting, he was on his way to a fight. The Heavenly Sword Sect’s move only stoked his fighting spirit—it would never make him turn away.

"Wait here. I’ll break this formation."

"Fine."

Golden light erupted from Chen Yunxuan’s body as he vanished in a flash, charging straight into the sword formation.

The moment he entered, countless sword energies surged toward him.

Chen Yunxuan didn’t dodge. Instead, he met them head-on, shattering each one with his fists.

Simple. Brutal.

This was Chen Yunxuan’s way of battle!

The Heavenly Sword Sect had deployed the Four Symbols Annihilation Sword Formation—a formation of immense power, more than enough to handle an ordinary cultivator at the Divine Transformation Realm.

Yet to their shock, this formation—which even early-stage Void Tribulation cultivators couldn’t breach—was slowly crumbling under Chen Yunxuan’s assault.

"Absolute monster."

"Just where is his limit?"

Know-It-All couldn’t help but marvel. In all the time he’d followed Chen Yunxuan, he had never once seen him fight at full strength. Every battle left room to spare—his true power remained hidden.

Perhaps this time, at the Heavenly Sword Sect, he would finally witness Chen Yunxuan’s full might!

BOOM!

As Know-It-All pondered, a deafening explosion rang out—the Four Symbols Annihilation Sword Formation shattered completely.

"So fast?"

The Heavenly Sword Sect disciples observing from afar were stunned.

They had already suspected the formation might not hold Chen Yunxuan, but they never imagined he would break it so swiftly.

The top-ranked genius on the Human Rankings—truly worthy of his title.

"There's no other way. We'll have to take matters into our own hands."

"We can't let Chen Yunxuan reach the mountain!"

"Agreed!"

With a swift leap, nine disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect landed directly in front of Chen Yunxuan and his companion, blocking their path up the mountain.

"Chen Yunxuan, our sect leader recognizes you as a prodigious talent and has no wish to make an enemy of you. Don’t force our hand."

"Xie Yuyan was indeed in the wrong, but what’s done is done. Why cling to this stubbornly?"

Hearing their words, Chen Yunxuan let out a cold laugh. If even they admitted her fault, what was the point of further talk?

"So, you intend to stop me?"

"Exactly. We won’t let you pass."

"Then there’s nothing left to say."

"Have it your way!"

"Don’t blame us for what comes next!"

And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork.

So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
