Chapter 22

n

n

n

n“That’s the legendary personal treasure of the Great Ancestor of the Empyrean Sword Sect, the Three Thousand Horsetail Whisk!”

n

n“There are 3,000 horsetails and every horsetail contains 3,000 supreme sword intents! Back then, the Great Ancestor relied on this Three Thousand Horsetail Whisk to launch our Empyrean Sword Sect!”

n

n“The Three Thousand Horsetail Whisk is said to be worn by the Great Ancestor. It has long developed the intelligence of a divine artifact and is known as a half-step divine artifact!”

n

n“What exactly happened at the Treasure Pavilion? Even the Three Thousand Horsetail Whisk was born?”

n

nInside the Empyrean Sword Sect, everyone looked at the scene of tens of thousands of weapons circling the Treasure Pavilion under the lead of the Three Thousand Horsetail Whisk.

n

nTheir hearts were filled with excitement and confusion.

n

n“Buzz!”

n

nThey seemed to sense the respect of the weapons around.

n

nThe Divine Sword Emperor’s Heart in Shen Ran’s hand also buzzed, emitting a dazzling golden light like an enlightened monarch descending from the Nine Heavens.

n

nIt embraced all the weapons that saluted it, those inside and outside the Treasure Pavilion.

n

nOn all the weapons bathed in golden light, it was as if the lord of heaven has carved a golden rune that was filled with the aura of a Martial Monarch Realm expert.

n

nWith the enhancement of this rune, all the weapons were upgraded.

n

nThey became incomparably sharp.

n

n“Is the awakening of the divine artifact a blessing for the people? This Emperor’s Heart has the open and benevolent heart of its previous master, the Yellow Emperor.”

n

nAt the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion, the elder of the Empyrean Sword Sect who was guarding the door watched this scene in a daze. “But more importantly, that prodigy Shen Ran can actually obtain the approval of the Emperor’s Heart. As expected, the rise of our Empyrean Sword Sect is imminent.”

n

nIn fact, other than the Great Ancestor of the Empyrean Sword Sect, who was on the main peak, many higher-ups were secretly taking note of Shen Ran.

n

nAmong them was naturally this elder who defended the Treasure Pavilion and was also one of the founders of the Empyrean Sword Sect, bestowed wth the title of a king.

n

n“Today, there are blessings from the heavens. All the weapons in the Empyrean Sword Sect have been upgraded. God bless the Empyrean Sword Sect! Hahaha!”

n

nHis own potential was exhausted and it was difficult for him to break through again.

n

nThe Emperor-Realm elder, who had one foot in the grave, stood up lifelessly.

n

nIn a lofty tone, he made an announcement to everyone in the Empyrean Sword Sect.

n

nAt the same time, he waved his hand. “Go back.”

n

nOnly then did the countless weapons circling the Treasure Pavilion reluctantly return to their masters’ hands.

n

nLooking at the weapons that had been strengthened, all the disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect became emotional and fell prostrate on the ground.

n

nThey shouted in the direction of the Treasure Pavilion, “God bless the Empyrean Sword Sect! Congratulations to the elders! Congratulations to the Sword Sect!”

n

nThe Emperor-Realm Elder at the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion looked at these people with a smile on his face.

n

nHe had just done the same thing as the Great Ancestor of the Empyrean Sword Sect did last night.

n

nIt was entirely for the purpose of protecting Shen Ran.

n

nAfter all, Shen Ran’s terrifying talent alone was enough to make the Empyrean Sword Sect’s opponents come to assassinate him.

n

nIf they knew that Shen Ran had also obtained the approval of the divine artifact to be its master, the outcome would be hard to predict.

n

nHowever, we just needed to wait for Shen Ran to mature.

n

nAt that time, under his lead, our Empyrean Sword Sect would definitely regain its glory from a thousand years ago!

n

nThinking of this, the King-Realm elder’s face was filled with anticipation for the future.

n

nIn the depths of the First Summit.

n

nThe Great Ancestor of the Empyrean Sword Sect caught the Three Thousand Horsetail Whisk as it flew back excitedly.

n

nThe elder who was looking at the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion from afar smiled.

n

n“Wu Ren, I haven’t seen you smile in a thousand years. You saw the bright future of the Empyrean Sword Sect, right?”

n

nBoth the Great Ancestor and Elder Wu Ren, who was guarding the Treasure Pavilion, were overjoyed.

n

nAs the founders of the Empyrean Sword Sect, it could be said that they had dedicated their entire lives to this sect.

n

nThey loved the Empyrean Sword Sect more than anyone else.

n

n…

n

n…

n

nIn the Treasure Pavilion, the Emperor’s Heart, which was emitting endless golden light, slowly restrained its cutting edge.

n

nAt this moment, golden patterns formed a domineering “Emperor” word on the black sword.

n

nThe golden blade seemed to be able to destroy any obstruction and enemy.

n

nThe divine splendor was reserved, leaving only endless solemnity and an ancient atmosphere.

n

nShen Ran held it in his hand and felt to be of one blood with this divine sword.

n

nIt was as if he was not holding a sword but a part of himself.

n

nApart from the feeling of telepathy, as the owner, Shen Ran could deeply feel the power of the Emperor’s Heart.

n

n“Unfortunately, with my current sixth level Divine Sea realm cultivation, I can only unleash less than 10% of your strength. But don’t worry, with my talent, I will definitely let you blossom into the most dazzling glory in the future!”

n

nShen Ran looked at the Emperor’s Heart, his eyes flickering with confidence.

n

n“Buzz!”

n

nThe Emperor’s Heart, which had spiritual intelligence, trembled in response. It placed its firm trust in Shen Ran.

n

nPutting away the Emperor’s Heart, Shen Ran walked out of the Treasure Pavilion.

n

n“Have you chosen a suitable weapon?”

n

nWhen he reached the door, he heard Elder Wu Ren ask.

n

n“Disciple Shen Ran greets Elder. I’m quite satisfied with my gains on this trip.”

n

nShen Ran bowed respectfully to him.

n

nSeeing that he had obtained the Divine Sword Emperor’s Heart, Shen Ran was still neither arrogant nor rash.

n

nWu Ren liked him more and more.

n

nHe smiled. “As long as you’re satisfied. You may go.”

n

n“Yes, I’ll take my leave!”

n

nShen Ran bade farewell to Wu Ren and walked out of the Treasure Pavilion.

n

nThen he discovered that the disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect who were walking on the road looked even happier than when he returned.

n

nFor a moment, he wondered if something good had happened in the sect.

n

nShen Ran prepared to ask someone.

n

n“Do you want to die? How dare you throw the pastry I just bought on the ground!”

n

n“Young Master, I’m sorry. The scene just now was too shocking. I was distracted…”

n

n“You trash actually dare to talk back!?”

n

n“Pa!”

n

nA loud slap drew Shen Ran’s attention.

n

nHe looked in the direction of the voices.

n

nA maidservant with a red palm print on her face was lying in front of an ordinary disciple in green clothes with an aggrieved expression.

n

nShe was surrounded by scattered pastries.

n

nIn addition to the red and swollen palm print on her face, there were also many bruises on the exposed limbs of the maidservant.

n

nIt seemed that such a maidservant had been beaten up by many ordinary disciples in front of her.

n

n“You trash, eat my food and use my money. I didn’t expect you to not even be able to do such a small thing!”

n

nThe ordinary disciple in front of the maidservant ignored the people around her and cursed at the former.

n

nShen Ran frowned when he saw this.

n

nHe had never seen such trash who bullied the weak.

n

nHe immediately prepared to walk forward.

n

nThen he noticed the narrative that had surfaced on the maid.

n

nThis is a maid who looks ordinary and is usually bullied. In fact, she has the bloodline of the ancient Divine Phoenix Empress. On the day her bloodline awakens, she will be peerless and become a supreme True Emperor. She will inherit the title of the Empress Divine Phoenix and dominate a region!

n

nEmpress Divine Phoenix?

n

nTen thousand years ago, the only peerless expert in the fantasy world was a woman who was on par with the other True Emperors?

n

nShen Ran was still in awe.

n

nThe ordinary disciple in front of the maidservant felt that cursing was not enough, so he raised his hand and prepared to slap her again.

n

n“Stop!”

n

nShen Ran’s voice resounded throughout the venue.

n
