At the Blackheaven Sect, Xuanyuan Tai sighed.
“We still haven’t found it.”
They had been searching on the Sun Moon Peak for half a month but hadn’t found the location of the Xuanyuan Sword.
“Does it mean we won’t be able to find it?” Xuanyuan He asked.
“No. When I become the Grand Earth Emperor, it will resonate with me. But without finding it, the Xuanyuan Sword can’t emerge in this world,” Xuanyuan Tai said.
“Should we let some of our seniors continue searching?” Xuanyuan He asked.
“What about Junior Sister Bi Zhu?”
“She’s been back for a while and frequently visits the Sun Moon Peak,” Xuanyuan He said.
“She seems to be more dedicated than us.” Xuanyuan Tai thought for a moment. “Let some of the senior disciples search for it. I don’t have time. Of course, don’t hinder Junior Sister Bi Zhu. She’s more likely to find it.”
Xuanyuan He nodded. Their fellow sect member had come prepared with information and was eager to help. It wouldn’t be wise to hinder her way.
A moment later, a young girl in a pink dress leaped toward them from a distance.
“Have you found it, Junior Sister Bi Zhu?” Xuanyuan He asked.
“Not yet, but you seem to be running out of time, Senior Brother,” said Bi Zhu.
“Yes. It’s about to begin,” Xuanyuan Tai said as he looked toward the sky.
It was a great event, and he was on the verge of becoming the Grand Earth Emperor.
“Can’t you delay it for a while, Senior Brother?” Bi Zhu cautiously asked.
“Delay it?” Xuanyuan Tai was surprised.
Xuanyuan He also appeared puzzled.
“The Xuanyuan Sword is most likely to manifest when the Grand Earth Emperor appears. I need to find it as soon as possible,” Bi Zhu said.
“Junior Sister Bi Zhu, you seem very eager to bring the Xuanyuan Sword into this world,” Xuanyuan Tai said.
“Yes… It’s part of a trade I made with a friend. He wants me to imprint the Xuanyuan Sword’s intent on something. The reward I get in exchange is extremely important to me,” Bi Zhu said pleadingly and held onto Xuanyuan He’s arm.
Both siblings were somewhat helpless.
However, it was certain that Bi Zhu’s “friend” wouldn’t be an ordinary person.
“I’ll do my best,” Xuanyuan Tai said.
“Then, I’ll go look for the Xuanyuan Sword. I think I’ll find it,” said Bi Zhu excitedly.
As they watched her depart, Xuanyuan Tai suddenly asked, “How old is Junior Sister Bl znu.d”
“I heard she’s several hundred years old,” Xuanyuan He said.
“She still seems so young,” said Xuanyuan Tai.
Xuanyuan He couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “If someone overhears that,
Elder Zhi will probably come looking for us one day.”
Xuanyuan Tai walked toward the highest peak of the Blackheaven Sect. “Let’s go. The time has come.”
He couldn’t afford to make any mistakes.
Xuanyuan Tai began preparing for his ascension to the position of the Grand Earth Emperor, and the disciples of the Blackheaven Sect had waited for several months for this.
The disciples of the Mountain Sea Sword Sect were also in the area. Many people gathered.
At that moment, a senior disciple was walking along the competition platforms and wanted to see if there was anyone powerful in the south.
“Are there any particularly outstanding individuals here?” asked a young woman.
“It’s hard to say,” said the senior disciple and shook his head. Beside him was a young man at the Golden Core Realm.
“Senior Brother Zhuge, who are you looking for?” asked the young woman. “An old friend from several years ago,” Zhuge Zheng said truthfully.
“Why are you looking for him?” she asked.
The young woman was Fu Dongxue, who was very powerful and held significant status in their sect.
“I owe him some spirit stones,” Zhuge Zheng said.
Fu Dongxue was taken aback. She then laughed.
At that moment, a young man walked past them.
Zhuge Jin, who was in the lead, stopped and turned around.
“Radiant aura but without any sword intent, yet there’s a strange sense of swordsmanship. He appears to be a swordsman but also not good at it at the same time.” Fu Dongxue turned around for a brief glance. She appraised him and then shook her head. “His talent for sword cultivation isn’t that great.”
Zhuge Jin smiled and shook his head. “Junior Sister, you’re too one-sided in evaluating people. Even if his talent for sword cultivation is lacking, he will surely be extraordinary in other things. I wonder which sect he is from.”
“He is from the Heavenly Note Sect. His attire seems to be from there,” said Zhuge Zheng.
“Oh?” Fu Dongxue’s eyes lit up. “Isn’t the person you are looking for also from the Heavenly Note Sect? Is it a woman?” “No.” Zhuge Zheng shook his head.
Fu Dongxue lost interest in the conversation.
“The Heavenly Note Sect…” Zhuge Zheng shook his head and sighed. “This might be troublesome.”
That sect couldn’t be provoked. That sect was related to a very important senior from their sect. They were under direct orders to avoid them. “The Heavenly Note Sect doesn’t have any powerful sword cultivators.” He sighed again and stopped thinking about it.
“Senior Brother, are we going to visit the Heavenly Note Sect?” Zhuge Zheng asked.
“We’ll go once the Grand Earth Emperor appears, and we finish observing the Xuanyuan Sword,” Zhuge Jin said in response.
Zhuge Zheng nodded. He intended to pay the spirit stones to this so-called friend.
“Do you think the Grand Earth Emperor will appear without any problems, Senior Brother?” Fu Dongxue asked.
“It’s hard to say. In fact, there’s still one critical thing missing,” Zhuge Jin said.
“What?” Zhuge Zheng asked curiously.
“The Dragon Clan,” Zhuge Jin said solemnly. “When the Human Emperor appeared, he had the full support of the Dragon Clan. But now that the Dragon Clan has disappeared, the Grand Earth Emperor is left to fend for himself. Even if there was one member from the Dragon Clan, his path would be much smoother. Right now, it’s extraordinarily difficult.”
Zhuge Zheng and Fu Dongxue understood this, but there was nothing they could do. They had no knowledge of the Dragon Clan’s location, let alone the ability to bring them here.
At the foot of the Sun Moon Peak, Jiang Hao stood in front of the sword in reverence.
The True Dragon phantom gazed at him as if trying to fully understand the person before it.
“Do you have a dragon by your side?” the True Dragon asked.
“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.
“That’s more like it.” The True Dragon no longer dwelled on this issue. “Are you here to take the Human Emperor’s sword? If you want the sword, you must pass the test.”
“No. I am not here to take the sword. I just want to do… something,” Jiang Hao said.
“What is it?” The True Dragon was quite curious.
It was puzzled. His human had come all this way, activated the Burning Immortal Formation, and banished the black mist when he didn’t even want the sword for himself.
Jiang Hao looked at the Xuanyuan Sword. “This sword is about to emerge into the world. It shouldn’t be covered in rust. Even if the Human Emperor is no longer here, it should still shine brightly.”
“What do you mean?” The True Dragon was puzzled.
“I just want to clean it a bit,” Jiang Hao said.
The True Dragon appeared shocked. Many emotions flashed through its face.
“Clean it?” it asked. “After all you have done to reach here, you just want to clean it? Just that?”
“Yes. Just that.” Jiang Hao nodded.
He genuinely had no other requests. To be able to clean such a divine item would already be more than enough for him.
“Some people get injured when they touch this sword,” said the True Dragon.
“I only want to wipe it a bit, so I hope you can help suppress its power, Senior,” Jiang Hao said with a bow.
The True Dragon hesitated but eventually nodded. “Alright. I can suppress the Xuanyuan Sword’s intent within the seal. But if the sword rejects you, there’s little I can do about it.”
“Thank you very much, Senior.” Jiang Hao was delighted.
It worked!
