Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Chapter 682: Chapter 681, Is This the Powerful Sword of Destiny?_1

THUD, THUD, THUD...

Yuan Ziyi walked down the street, observing the numerous Wanderers, and strode into the Jian Pavilion Legion.

At the entrance, information about recruiting Sword Pavilion Members was posted.

Yuan Ziyi looked at the information. Then she turned her gaze to the Stele, where various Swordsmanship techniques like Grand River Sword Intent, Void Sword, and Heaven Cutting Swords Technique were engraved.

Yuan Ziyi walked forward and smiled. "Wanderers are quite interesting, engraving their Swordsmanship here for so many others to learn."

Then I shall try as well. I’ll engrave my Sword of Destiny here, so that all Wanderers can learn it.

With a thought, Yuan Ziyi began.

CLANG, CLANG, CLANG...

She immediately engraved her mental method.

"Hey! Who are you? This is the Sword Pavilion; not just anyone can engrave their Swordsmanship here. You need to report to a Jian Ge Elder first!" a voice called out.

"A Jian Ge Elder must recognize your Swordsmanship as exceptional before you can engrave it."

"Young lady, your Swordsmanship is engraved alongside Grand River Sword Intent, Void Sword, and Heaven Cutting Swords Technique. Do you truly believe your Swordsmanship compares to theirs?"

"That’s supreme arrogance!"

"Indeed, quite arrogant."

Someone else peered closer. "Let me see the name... Yuan Ziyi. What a good name!"

"What? Yuan Ziyi... She is Yuan Ziyi!"

"It’s really her!"

The Wanderers studying Swordsmanship nearby were astonished. This was Yuan Ziyi, the famous purple-clad woman renowned for her mastery of the Destiny Law.

Yuan Ziyi’s return immediately caused a sensation. Jian Ge Elders mobilized, their attention fixed on her.

Yuan Ziyi declared, "I am Yuan Ziyi, and I control destiny. This Swordsmanship I have comprehended is called the Sword of Destiny. Everyone can practice it; everyone can take control of their own destiny."

"I, Yuan Ziyi, will share destiny with you all, so we may face the coming calamities together."

The Wanderers present were electrified. No one had expected Yuan Ziyi’s first act upon her return to be engraving the Cultivation Technique for the Sword of Destiny on the Stele, making it available for all Wanderers to learn. And by learning it, they could truly control their own destinies.

As the Wanderers gazed up at the cultivation method for the Sword of Destiny, they felt themselves drawn into a trance, entering another realm—a world of destiny. In that world, Yuan Ziyi stood before them, radiating a brilliant light.

At that very moment, they heard a voice call out to them:

Practice the Sword of Destiny. State your name, and I shall share destiny with you...

I am Han Chufeng.

I am Zhao Yaoyang.

I am Li Wei.

...

One by one, the Wanderers mentally declared their names. As they did, Yuan Ziyi personally transmitted the Swordsmanship to them.

"So this is the Sword of Destiny!" one exclaimed. "Such potent Sword Qi! It’s stronger than Grand River Sword Intent, stronger than Heaven Cutting Swords Technique, even stronger than Void Sword! I can feel it—my very being is now linked with destiny."

"Yes, I feel it too!"

"Such incredible Strength! My power has increased at least tenfold! This is true destiny!"

"Amazing! To think that among us Wanderers, after Sword God Bai Yun and Sword God Jiang Chen, we now have a Female Sword God—Yuan Ziyi!"

"The moment I stated my name, I felt an unprecedented power, as if a force had delved deep into my soul."

Bai Yun also learned of Yuan Ziyi’s return.

Only two days had passed between the clone Jiang Chen’s departure and Yuan Ziyi’s return, where she engraved her Swordsmanship and taught the Sword of Destiny. Within these two days, most Sword Pavilion Members had begun practicing the Sword of Destiny.

Rumor had it that practicing the Sword of Destiny allowed one to control their own destiny. Not only Wanderers were practicing it; other Divine beings also came, hoping to learn.

However, the Divine beings were not Wanderers and thus could not practice the Sword of Destiny.

Bai Yun soared towards the Stele.

Gazing at that Sword Qi, Bai Yun frowned. He couldn’t comprehend this sword technique; its power did not belong to any Divine being.

The instant Bai Yun perceived that sword technique, he found himself drawn into a Phantasm Realm.

Such a powerful sword technique! Bai Yun marveled internally. To think it can pull one into a Phantasm Realm! Has this technique gained sentience? Is it her clone?

He looked up at the imposing figure of the purple-clad woman.

The imposing purple-clad woman spoke, her voice echoing in the Phantasm Realm, "My follower, state your name, and I shall teach you the Sword of Destiny, allowing you to control your own destiny."

Bai Yun smiled. "I have already taken control of my own destiny."

"Control destiny?" Yuan Ziyi’s voice retorted. "You cannot. Only by practicing the Sword of Destiny can you truly take control of your own destiny. And I will share destiny with you."

Bai Yun said, "You truly are dangerous. Why must one state their name to be taught the Sword of Destiny?"

"Only those who state their names can practice it," she replied.

Bai Yun recalled Jiang Chen once mentioning that Yuan Ziyi possessed the Name Devouring Seal. By having others state their names, she could obtain their abilities, and there were other, unfathomable powers associated with it as well. Every Law possessed its own unique allure. Clearly, this woman was scheming something.

Bai Yun then asked the figure, "So, if I do not state my name, I cannot learn your Swordsmanship?"

"That is correct."

"Then forget about it!" Bai Yun declared, preparing to leave the Phantasm Realm.

The Phantasm Yuan Ziyi looked momentarily baffled. "Bai Yun, you are powerful. Do you not wish to become a Lord? Do you not wish to control your own destiny?"

Bai Yun retorted, "I do not know your true intentions, but my intuition screams that you are extremely dangerous."

The Phantasm Yuan Ziyi laughed. "You trust Jiang Chen."

"Yes, I trust him," Bai Yun affirmed.

"Why?"

"We are friends."

A smile touched the Phantasm Yuan Ziyi’s lips. "I used to be friends with him too. Unfortunately, he ultimately betrayed me."

"I heard from him that it was you who betrayed him," Bai Yun countered.

"He only trusts himself, never anyone else. Not even you. He wouldn’t even trust those closest to him."

"I trust him," Bai Yun reiterated firmly.

"But he does not trust you."

Bai Yun chuckled. This woman truly isn’t simple. He then said, "Actually, you two are quite alike. The only difference is that he’s a man, and you’re a woman."

"At the level of Divine beings, there is no distinction between male and female," she stated.

"There is a difference."

"What difference?"

"I have something you don’t, and you have something I don’t," Bai Yun said cryptically.

The Phantasm Yuan Ziyi was visibly perplexed. What is he talking about?

The Phantasm Yuan Ziyi sighed. "Anyone who is not my friend is my enemy. It seems you choose to be an enemy."

"Do you intend to kill me?" Bai Yun asked.

"Kill you? Why would I do that?" she scoffed. "You are not yet qualified to be my true opponent. My real adversary is not the clone, but the original Jiang Chen. His schemes run incredibly deep."

"He knew I would move against him, so he transferred the Destiny Law to the clone while he himself went to acquire the Terminating Power."

"It was all premeditated. Once he obtains the Terminating Power, I will no longer be able to counter him with my abilities."

"That is why I say he is very clever. The clone is merely a tool he’s using."

As she spoke, Yuan Ziyi herself seemed to arrive at a deeper understanding. Her mark was the Name Devouring Seal. Once she knew Jiang Chen’s name, she had already engraved it. This was why she had held back at the black market. Even if Jiang Chen had obtained the Destiny Law, what did it matter? Yuan Ziyi had already acquired his true name. And for the Name Devouring Seal, a true name was of paramount importance.
