Bi Zhu stood before the Xuanyuan Sword and saw that the sword did not refuse her approach. She cautiously moved closer.
Due to the sword’s formidable reputation, she was very cautious.
‘Just a touch should be fine, right?’
Bi Zhu reassured herself.
With such a divine artifact before her, it would be a shame not to have at least touched it.
Taking a deep breath, Bi Zhu crossed the distance and touched the sword’s hilt.
Instantly, the sword vibrated.
A surge of sword intent poured out like a tidal wave.
Boom!
Bi Zhu was startled. She tried to let go, but it was already too late.
Boom!
The sword’s intent broke free and hit her. It sent her flying backward.
Then, the sword’s intent gathered into a majestic figure before Bi Zhu’s astonished eyes.
At that moment, the figure turned to look at her.
A single glance from this figure felt like everything pressed down on her. Bi Zhu was awestruck.
She felt insignificant.
Bi Zhu was flung back, and she crashed into the wall. She didn’t hesitate.
“Senior, please spare me.”
The pressure instantly disappeared.
When she looked up again, there was nothing in front of her but the Xuanyuan Sword.
Everything that had just happened felt like an illusion. Bi Zhu was scared and remained seated where she was.
“It truly is the Human Emperor’s sword.”
Her cultivation realm was already quite high, but in front of the Human Emperor, she was like a child.
If someone had approached the sword with evil intentions, they would have been killed by the Xuanyuan Sword just now.
She was curious whether Jing had touched the Human Emperor’s sword.
He probably was curious too.
“I can ask him the next time we meet.”
She was also curious about how he had arrived here.
After exploring the area, she found that there were mineral veins outside. She also discovered the formation.
After a brief examination of the place, she was shocked to find that Jing had been here for a very, very long time.
As for the formation, she just took one look and knew it was a teleportation formation.
She had no intention of using it to go somewhere else. Meeting Jing unexpectedly would not be safe.
She left by following the same path she had come from.
The Xuanyuan Sword’s emergence was proceeding smoothly, and now they were waiting for the arrival of the Grand Earth Emperor, who would resonate with the Xuanyuan Sword.
That would be the best time for the Xuanyuan Sword to emerge. ‘I wonder if Senior Brother Xuanyuan Tai is making progress.’
When Bi Zhu left, the True Dragon emerged from the Xuanyuan Sword.
It glanced at the sword and then said, “I thought you were broken when that person pulled you out so casually earlier. It seems that you’re not. That means that person was exceptional. I can’t see what makes him so special, though. Is it temperament? Personality? Talent?”
This question had no answer, as nobody could provide it.
The inheritor of the Xuanyuan Sword embodied the will of the Human Emperor. Their ability to wield the sword signified the Human Emperor’s approval.
At the Blackheaven Sect, the forces of the mountain and sea converged in the sky.
In the midst of this great force, Xuanyuan Tail s figure seemed like a lone boat adrift.
At that point, he could only stabilize the great force, but he couldn’t integrate it into his body.
Even with strong individuals assisting him, it wasn’t as easy as he had thought to achieve success.
At that time, various sects were making preparations.
Outside the sect, there were signs of the Fallen Immortal Clan, the Saint Bandits, The End of All Things, and even a spiritual aura.
It was the Great Thousand God Sect.
These people hadn’t made a move, but their pressure was attempting to subvert the great force of the mountain and sea.
Inside the Blackheaven Sect, members of the Mountain Sea Sword Sect stood together.
They assisted, but the effect was not as great as they had hoped.
There were only a few people who had come to contribute, and they couldn’t form a complete spiritual aura.
“The Blackheaven Sect is still too weak. If it were one of the major sects in the southern region, it would be much easier to deal with.” Zhuge Jin sighed. “These forces have no intention of making a move, they just want to gain some benefit from the success or failure of this event. But even so, the Blackheaven Sect is unable to suppress them. We can only rely on Xuanyuan Tai.”
“If it were someone else, they would have already failed by now,” Zhuge Jin said. “This person is indeed extraordinary.”
“Do you think he will fail?” Fu Dongxue asked.
“It’s hard to say. This is not a test of strength but a contest of the surrounding spiritual aura. It is to see how many people support him,” Zhuge Jin said.
In any case, it seems the situation doesn’t look good for the Grand Earth Emperor,” Zhuge Jin said solemnly.
At the same time, members of the Fallen Immortal Clan stood outside and absorbed the spiritual aura.
They had sensed something and found a similar aura underground.
They could only absorb a tiny amount at a time.
“It seems that our clan has learned something about this place,” someone said.
“We mustn’t make a mistake now. For now, let’s focus on absorbing what we can. By the way, what about the three who left?” asked the man in the lead.
“One of them rescued Mi Qian, and the other two went to find Jiang Hao’s junior sister. There should be good news soon,” said a woman.
“Very well. Let them act on their own. There’s no need for us to contact them too much,” said the man in the lead.
As the group was still planning to absorb the ancestral aura, they suddenly felt another presence.
This aura was bright, like a beam of light shining upon them. It affected their progress.
Shortly after, the light shone on the Blackheaven Sect and helped to stabilize the great force of the mountain and sea.
“Who is that?”
They looked into the distance and saw a figure approaching.
This figure was radiating a bright light. It was difficult to make out their appearance.
“It’s the Sage’s light,” said the man in the lead. “Shang An from the Clear Sky School. How did he end up in the southern region?”
Shang An was incredibly powerful, but for the immortal sects, he was a saintly person who hadn’t fully matured yet.
It was surprising that he was allowed to go outside.
“Don’t confront him. There may be people from Clear Sky School around, or he might be carrying a valuable treasure.”
“Understood.”
As the Saint’s light got closer, the spiritual auras in the vicinity avoided its sharpness.
The reputation of the Clear Sky School’s Sages had spread far and wide throughout the four regions. No one was willing to oppose them at this time.
Zhuge Jin also sensed the arrival of that light and found it somewhat unbelievable.
“I’ve only heard of this person, and now, I see that his reputation is well-deserved.”
That beam of light acted like a giant hand that protected the great force of the mountain and sea. It made things easier for Xuanyuan Tai.
“Who is that person?” Zhuge Zheng asked curiously.
“The recent prodigy that the Clear Sky School recruited. His arrival likely represents Clear Sky School. That’s why no one dares to confront him. This also gives Xuanyuan Tai a better chance. However, he alone is enough to exude such a strong aura. He should be able to ascend to the Immortal Ascension Platform at any time. Furthermore, he must have a valuable treasure with him,” Zhuge Jin said.
“So, does that mean the Grand Earth Emperor will be able to appear finally?” Fu Dongxue asked.
Zhuge Jin looked up and whispered, “The great force of the mountain and sea has stabilized, but absorbing it is still extremely difficult. There aren’t enough people who can do it without the Dragon Clan. We’ll have to see what the
Blackheaven Sect has prepared.”
The people of the Blackheaven Sect were overjoyed.
The appearance of that light gave them confidence.
At that moment, an elderly man took out a dragon pearl. This was something ne naa acqmrea at an ummagmame cost ana Drougnt DaCK rrom overseas.
“Senior, it’s up to you now.”
“I’m just a shadow using the dragon pearl. It’s not certain whether this will succeed. It’s a pity that my true self can’t leave Chaos Stone Island. Otherwise, I could contribute much more.”
“Senior, don’t worry about it. Just do your best, and let fate decide the rest..”
