Leaning on the Rail, Sword in Hand, Slaying Demons and Evil

He spoke in a ringing voice, his words sweeping across mountains and rivers.

"I, Gu Jinghuai, am willing to offer the good karma of my past life, the good fruits of this life, the chance to reincarnate in my next life, and the entire fortune of my descendants, in exchange for a sliver of opportunity from heaven and earth: one chance to break through the Tenth Realm."

Gu Jinghuai's voice boomed like a great bell, resounding between heaven and earth.

All the reinforcements who heard him were shaken to the core as if struck by thunder, and tears streamed down their faces.

The majestic heavens seemed to have heard his plea. Heaven and earth changed in an instant: mountains collapsed and the ground split open.

At the highest reaches of the sky, a tribulation of the Tenth Realm began to gather. Dark clouds filled the heavens, and a gigantic, strange vortex crackling with lightning appeared, yet it did not descend. Even the heavens could not bear to take away the first great sword cultivator of the Tenth Realm from the mortal world.

Blinding light radiated from Gu Jinghuai's entire body. Sword qi took control of all of Yeluo, and the swords of every sword-cultivator among the reinforcements flew from their sheaths as one, surging toward the sky screen.

The dazzling sword light shooting into the sky split heaven and earth, illuminating all of Yeluo until it shone as bright as day.
