Great Emperor Zhenwu sighed with emotion at the mention of the Sword Soul Great Emperor.
"Emperor, I want to replace Wang Chen and end the rebirth of the Sword Soul Great Emperor. Do you support me?" Long Chen asked courageously.
After all, the Sword Soul Great Emperor was his old friend.
Zhenwu Great Emperor laughed in his wizened voice and said, "Stubborn old man, this is the era of the young. The old will eventually grow old. Reincarnation is just a dream. Child, tell me, what reason do I have not to support you?"
In that case, Long Chen felt much more at ease.
"As for you going to the Sword Soul Emperor Palace now, I can only say … it's up to you. Be careful and don't be impulsive. Just let yourself regret it for the rest of your life."
Long Chen nodded and said, "I will remember that."
"Alright, go. In three months, I will bring the True Martial Emperor Palace's lineup to the Sky-Piercing Sword Soul Mountain and become your solid support."
With Great Emperor Zhenwu's words, Long Chen had nothing to worry about.
He found Lingxiao and followed him on the road to the Sword Soul Emperor Palace.
Ten years.
Ten years of fighting.
"Sword Soul Emperor Palace, I'm finally here."
Long Chen's blood was boiling as he looked at the vast land in front of him.
In order to go to the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace today, he had fought for ten years. The weak youth from back then had become the Sacred Martial Emperor of the True Martial Emperor Palace. He had also obtained the protection of the True Martial Great Emperor and the support of the entire True Martial Emperor Palace.
In the Three Regions and Nine Realms, Long Chen was already an influential figure.
… …
To everyone in the Sword Spirit Emperor Region, the Shattered Star River that had suddenly appeared in the center of the Sword Spirit Emperor Region was where the Sacred Ground, the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace, was located.
Everyone in the Sword Soul Emperor Domain used swords.
It was a paradise for swords. Sword qi surged everywhere.
The center of the Sword Soul Emperor Domain was the Shattered Star River. The so-called Shattered Star River was actually a miniature version of the Shattered Star Sea.
It was the Shattered Star Sea located in the center of the Dragon Sacrificial Continent.
In the middle of the vast Shattered Astral River, there was a mountain that everyone yearned to see. This was the highest mountain in the Three Regions and Nine Realms. It soared into the sky and pierced through the stars in the universe. It was rumored that at the peak of this mountain, one could touch the stars in the sky.
This sacred mountain was known as the Sky-Piercing Sword Soul Mountain.
From afar, the Heaven-Piercing Sword Soul Mountain looked like a super huge sword that pierced into the starry sky.
There were no words to describe the size of this gigantic sword. Its size even surpassed the True Martial Emperor Palace's Emperor Star.
The Sky-Piercing Sword Soul Mountain was home to 80 million disciples of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace.
The Desolate Emperor Palace had close to 150 million disciples, the True Martial Emperor Palace had 100 million, and the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace had the least, but they still had 80 million.
It was rumored that at the peak of the Sky-Piercing Sword Soul Mountain, the blade of the sword pierced through the starry sky and gave birth to a huge astral sword sea. This place was called the Billions of Swords Sea. The core of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace, the Sword God Palace, was located in this Billions of Swords Sea.
There was a huge gap between the Sword God Palace and the Sky-Piercing Sword Soul Mountain. The Sword God Palace was where the true elites gathered. The disciples of the Sky-Piercing Sword Soul Mountain were not qualified to enter the Sword God Palace.
It was just like how the disciples of the three thousand palaces couldn't enter the Martial God Palace.
The Sword God Palace was a huge building complex. It was like a huge floating island floating in the Billions of Swords Sea.
There were about ten thousand elite disciples and upper echelon cultivators in the Sword God Palace.
The Sword God Palace was divided into five sections. The center was the Sword Spirit Emperor's Divine Sword Pagoda. The Divine Sword Pagoda had been empty for countless years, but apart from the four Sword Masters, no one else was qualified to enter.
The other four areas were governed by the Four Great Sword Masters.
Among the four Sword Masters, the Martial Spirit Sword Master was the youngest. He wielded the Refined Celestial River Sword, a Medial Era Dao Artifact with eight Dao patterns.
The only female Sword Master was called Sword Master Linghua. She wielded an ancient sword-shaped dao artifact with eight Dao patterns, the Pear Blossom Snow Sword. The Pear Blossom Snow Sword could transform into thousands of different forms, just like a hidden weapon. Its lethality was rather terrifying, and it could fight against thousands of opponents alone.
The other two Sword Sovereigns were very old and were already very old. They were martial brothers. The senior brother was the Royal Heaven Sword Sovereign, who wielded an eight-pattern dao artifact, the Thirty-six Heaven Dipper Sword. The junior brother was the Demonic Heaven Sword Sovereign, who wielded the 72 Earth Fiend Swords.
Above the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace, there were the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Stars and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Swords.
The Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Swords and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Swords were swords of stars. They were forged from the cores of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Stars and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Stars. They had millions of years of history. They were close to the Ancient Era. They were the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace's most famous treasures.
These four swords were the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace's Heaven and Earth Splitting Divine Sword.
The region controlled by the Lingwu Sword Master was called the Lingwu Region. There were over two thousand disciples in the Lingwu Region.
One of the most luxurious courtyards was the residence of the Lingwu Sword Master's family.
The Ling Family was a large clan in the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace. The Lingwu Sword Master was extremely powerful. He was also the current patriarch of the Ling Family. His courtyard was called the Sky Spirit Pavilion. The Sky Spirit Pavilion had a radius of 50 miles. It was a grand building. There were no less than ten thousand sword-shaped sculptures. There were only a few dozen people in such a huge place.
Lingxi was under house arrest in the Sky Spirit Pavilion. She hadn't left the Sky Spirit Pavilion for close to nine months.
The night view of the Sky Spirit Pavilion was very beautiful. Looking up, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Stars and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Stars were emitting beautiful starlight.
The Sky Spirit Pavilion had verdant hills and limpid water.
In the courtyard, the lotus flowers were fresh. These snow-white lotus flowers were planted in an entire pond. It was more than ten acres of land. The lotus flowers emitted an intoxicating fragrance that refreshed the mind. In fact, if one took a closer look, one could see that these white lotus flowers had one or two immortal patterns.
Hundreds of lotus flowers were actually all immortal essences.
From this, one could see how rich the Sword God Palace was.
Under the starry sky, the white lotus flowers emitted a dense aura.
Beside the lotus flowers was an exquisite pavilion.
Within the pavilion, there was a young girl wearing a snow-white dress and an orange veil. Her skin was smooth and supple, and she looked like a celestial fairy. She stood there alone, looking up into the sky. Beside her was a nine-colored butterfly, chirping non-stop.
"Big Sister, Big Sister, why are you unhappy again? Are you missing Big Brother Long Chen?"
Lingxi hadn't smiled in a long time. At this moment, she said softly, "Die 'er, be good. Be quiet. Don't let others hear you."
The Nine Netherworld Fantasy Butterfly said angrily, "Your father is really hateful. I will definitely beat that weird old man's butt."
Lingxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She was about to educate the Nine Netherworld Fantasy Butterfly when someone came. She quickly said, "Die 'er, quickly hide."
Although the Nine Netherworld Fantasy Butterfly was unwilling, it had no choice.
Ling Xi turned her head to look. After a long while, a beautiful woman walked over. This beautiful woman had a transcendent temperament and was very similar to Ling Xi's. However, she had an additional mature charm that made people intoxicated.
"Mother." Lingxi opened her red lips.
This beautiful woman didn't look like Lingxi's mother. She looked more like her big sister.
Seeing the loneliness in the young girl's eyes, the beautiful woman's face was filled with heartache. She pulled Lingxi to the side of the pavilion and held Lingxi's hand. "Little Xi, you're unhappy again."
"No, Mother." Lingxi lowered her head.
Because of Lingxi's matter, Bai Youyun had been feeling uneasy recently. When she saw Lingxi, two streams of tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Mother, don't cry." Lingxi's heart ached as she wiped away her tears.
Bai Youyun's face was filled with resentment as she said, "I just feel sorry for you. If I hadn't gotten this information from him, I don't know how long I would have been kept in the dark. That cruel and unscrupulous thing doesn't even want his own daughter's life."
Ling Xi shook her head and said, "Mother, it's not like that. The Sword Soul Emperor's reincarnation only replaced all of my previous memories with the memories of his previous life. I'm still me, it's just that the things I remember are different."
"At that time, you didn't recognize me as your mother. When I saw you, I had to kneel to you. Am I still my treasure?" Bai Youyun's eyes were filled with tears.
Lingxi didn't cry. She tightly held Bai Youyun's hands, not knowing what to say.
"This is fate. I can't escape it. I was born to be someone else's wedding dress. Mother, don't worry about it too much."
Compared to before, she was countless times stronger.
"That's right, there's a piece of news …" Bai Youyun suddenly remembered.
"What is it?"
"The child you like seems to be in the True Martial Emperor Palace and has become the Sacred Martial Emperor. I heard that his strength is outstanding and is already very strong. I believe that he won't lose to Wang Chen. The Sacred Martial Emperor thinks that he will have a great future and become the True Martial Emperor … This child isn't simple either."
"Is that so?" Lingxi suddenly revealed a charming smile.
"Why, child? I feel that since he already has such a status, if he knows his limits, he shouldn't come looking for you. After all, his status is different now and there are too many things involved," Bai Youyun said worriedly.
"He will, Mother. You don't understand him," Lingxi said with certainty.
Bai Youyun helplessly shook her head and said, "Poor child, you are still young and don't understand the stakes."
Lingxi revealed a confident smile and said, "Mother, he is also young and doesn't understand. I believe in all his promises … Since I know that he is working hard, I can't slack off either. I have to rely on my own strength to pass the Nirvana Tribulation within three months and help him. I can't waste time. Mother, I have thought it through. My own fate is in my own hands. I am not a little girl who can be bullied by others. I will also become a terrifying person. No one can touch my Chen, not even my father. Father doesn't want me anymore. He is a bad person. Only you and Chen are good people. I have to work hard and not wait for him to do everything."
Bai Youyun didn't expect that one piece of news would bring such a big change to her daughter.
She didn't know whether this was a blessing or a curse.
