Elders were gathered in the Supreme Tower, each of them shockingly powerful. They were the pillars of the Seamless World, and Qin Hao could not fight against any one of them.
He remembered that when he had just entered the Divine Realm, a strand of the Great Sikong's will had pressured him, and it was enough to make it difficult for Qin Hao to move an inch. Now, Senior Sikong's strength was at the bottom of the hierarchy among the magnates, and he was only slightly stronger than the Immortal Divine Venerable and the others. How could he not be shocked?
"If your performance is not worth mentioning, then the tens of thousands of Seamless sword cultivators today are nothing. If they heard this, they would be ashamed."
Blind Sword Sovereign smiled.
"Yes, where do you place us?"
Loy was dissatisfied. Qin Hao had forced her to use her full strength without even releasing his Heavenly Wheel. If this was not worth mentioning, then what was her performance?
This silver-haired guy was bullying her!
"Kid, being too humble is hypocritical."
The stooped Grass Sword Sovereign said.
"Cough, cough. Senior is right."
Qin Hao was slightly embarrassed. He couldn't praise himself, right? Wouldn't that make him seem like a hypocrite like Nangong Miao?
"Today is the first time the academy has opened the sword conference to the public. The performances of the Eastern and Western Sword Fields are remarkable, shocking us old fellows who live in seclusion."
Gu Jianzun was gratified. Not only was Qin Hao outstanding, but the other three geniuses who were selected to enter the academy also had their own unique areas. Wuque's sword intent was extremely high, Li Guangsheng was calm and experienced, and Loy was even more so. She had the bloodline of a Divine Master, and she fully displayed her sharpness.
"So, the divine realm should hold more sword conferences like this. This will encourage sword cultivators to work hard."
A white-clothed figure stepped into the Supreme Tower. His aura was otherworldly, shocking everyone.
"Divine Master."
Immortal Divine Deity and the others bowed slightly.
"Young Master."
Daisukong hurriedly stood beside Sword God Avici. His honest appearance made him look like a servant serving his master. It was hard to associate him with the king of the West Capital.
"Junior greets the Divine Master."
Wuque and the others hurriedly saluted.
Qin Hao looked over. God Lord Avici's appearance was that of an extremely handsome middle-aged man. From his facial features, it wasn't hard to imagine how handsome and elegant he had been in his youth. But, his aura wasn't as refined as that of his senior-apprentice brother Ziyin. He exuded an unparalleled sharpness, as if nothing in the universe could stop him.
"Senior Seamless."
Qin Hao cupped his hands as his emotions surged. This was the strongest Divine Dao he had encountered since leaving the Divine Wilderness. He was even stronger than the God Of The East.
"To be able to fight evenly with my daughter, boy, you're not simple."
Divine Lord Avici pointed at Qin Hao and smiled. Next, his gaze shifted to the Eastern Victory Immortal Sovereign. The two of them looked at each other and nodded slightly. They still maintained a distance from each other and didn't act intimately as everyone had imagined. They felt as though they were just ordinary friends, or even slightly more polite.
Qin Hao looked at the Divine Master and the Immortal Sovereign. He felt strange. This shouldn't be the case.
"The Immortal Sovereign and I are very good friends."
Divine Lord Avici seemed to have seen through Qin Hao's doubts.
"Friends?"
Qin Hao was stunned. Everyone was also stunned.
Was that all?
"Young Master, what's going on?"
Daisukong asked with concern.
Divine Lord Avici took a deep breath and glanced at Loy. He said slowly, "Back then, I took my own blood essence and a wisp of the Immortal Sovereign's soul essence. I infused it with the power of the Great World to mold it into an embryo spirit. It was sealed in the Eastern Deity's Divine Ice and nurtured for thousands of years. That was how Loy was born."
Loy had his blood flowing in her veins. She also had the soul power of the Immortal Sovereign. She was indeed their child.
But Divine Lord Avici and the Eastern Victory Immortal Sovereign were not husband and wife. As he said, they were just friends.
"I see."
Everyone suddenly understood. They had thought that the Divine Lord and the Immortal Sovereign had become dao companions in private. They had been wondering why the Divine Lord and the Immortal Sovereign had become dao companions without a public ceremony.
They didn't expect that it was just an ordinary relationship.
"Young Master, why is that?"
Daisukong asked anxiously. He glanced at the Immortal Sovereign. Young Master was the Lord of a Realm and the strongest Sword God. The Immortal Sovereign was a peerless beauty. Both of them had Immortal-grade Heavenly Wheels. When they stood together, they looked like a match made in heaven.
Unfortunately, they weren't.
"Sikong, you don't have to worry about it. It's actually quite good for them to be like this."
Sword Lord Gu said and looked at everyone. "As everyone knows, the foundation of our Seamless Realm is weak. Whether it is the quantity or quality of our sword cultivators, we are inferior to Rikujinjie and True Dragon Sword Realm. Under God Lu and Dragon Lord, we have Lu Qiu, Long Miao, and the other princes and princesses with powerful bloodlines. In the long run, the gap between the peak bloodlines of the Three Realms will grow bigger and bigger. In the end, it will reach an extreme level of prosperity and decline. In order to chase the footsteps of the two Sword Realms, Divine Lord Avici and the Immortal Sovereign made this decision."
When Sword Lord Gu said this, he looked meaningfully at Loy and said, "Child, you were born to compete with Lu Qiu and Long Miao. The burden you bear is extremely heavy."
This was the meaning of Loy's birth. Her existence was to compete with the successors of Rikujinjie and True Dragon Clan. Otherwise, Sword Lord Avici couldn't find a talent who could match her.
Like Nangong Miao?
Was he worthy?
However, plans couldn't keep up with changes. Originally, Sword Lord Avici and the Immortal Sovereign had planned for thousands of years to create the best bloodline. In the end, after a sword competition, an extraordinary monster Qin Hao who could match Loy appeared.
Other than that, there was also Wuque and Li Guangsheng. Both of them had exceeded the expectations of God Master Avici and the elders. With this group of fresh blood joining them, they would have a much higher chance of fighting against the World of the Gods and the True Dragon Race in the future. At the very least, they would not be completely defeated and could still put up a fight.
"Am I just the meaning of my existence?"
Loy let out a bitter laugh. In the hands of Sword Lord Avici and the Immortal Sovereign, was she a puppet or a tool?
"No, Yi Er, you have the proof of my union with Sword Lord Avici. You are our real flesh and blood. Don't think about other things."
Dongsheng Immortal Sovereign held Loy's hand. Although she wasn't Sword God Avici's wife, Loy was their child. For thousands of years, every day and night, she had been waiting for the baby spirit in the ice. The process was more difficult than ten months of pregnancy in the mortal world.
"Senior Avici, why are you competing with God Lu and Dragon Lord?"
Qin Hao interrupted. He could understand the original intention of Sword God Avici and Dongsheng Immortal Sovereign. "Creating a God."
Back in the Divine Wilderness Continent, the Divine Palace wanted to create a God. Unfortunately, it didn't succeed for many generations.
Zhan Wu had silently protected him for three generations in order to urge him to become a God.
Even the evil spirits in the Divine Wilderness wanted to become a God.
But Qin Hao couldn't understand one thing. Why did Sword God Avici view God Lu and Dragon Lord as opponents?
Could it be that there was an irreconcilable grudge between the three of them?
Must it be passed on to future generations?
"According to legend, at the beginning of the Primordial World, during the era of the Ancient Gods, countless formidable Godkings that could destroy the heavens and the earth appeared. They could easily annihilate numerous Divine Worlds with a single move of theirs, causing countless planes to vanish. Amongst them was a Sword Godking that possessed Innate Sword Energy."
Divine Lord Avici didn't explain Qin Hao's question. Instead, he talked about the Age of Ancient Gods.
"That was an extremely chaotic and bloody period. Because at the beginning of their birth, no one had Dao. Naturally, there was no compassion, benevolence, kindness, or the human heart. They only had tyrannical strength. As long as they wanted something, they would use force to seize it. When the Divine Kings fought, the Great Dao Star Universe was destroyed. The Sword God King was one of the Ancient Divine Kings who fell."
Divine Lord Avici said.
Everyone was horrified. Although they hadn't experienced the Age of Ancient Gods, they could imagine the horror of the battle between the God Kings. That kind of destruction could easily make countless God Worlds and planes disappear. Billions of lives were lost.
"What does this have to do with the Three Great Sword Realms?"
Qin Hao didn't understand.
"Of course it does."
Sword God of Avici looked at Qin Hao solemnly and said, "Sword God King has fallen. His divine soul was dispelled by an extremely powerful Divine King using the Dharma, and his divine body was shattered into pieces. However, a small part of his will of Dao was left behind, which escaped his opponent's perception and drifted away in the Untainted Land."
"Could it be …" Wuque was shocked.
"Yes, the three great sword worlds are the areas enveloped by the Sword Godking's Dao Insight. Every single piece of land, every single river, and even every single speck of dust here contains the tendons, flesh, and blood of the Sword Godking, and everything about him when he was alive."
Avici was extremely solemn.
In fact, the reason why Wujian was able to reach his current level of cultivation was because he happened to obtain a broken bone of a Divine King by chance. The powerful sword intent of the bone cleansed his body, causing his Celestial Wheel to mutate and his sword intent to become even stronger.
When his Sword Will radiated, the dust was infected and gave birth to the Spirit of Heavenly Dao. It evolved into continents and finally formed the Sword World.
Not only him, Avici guessed that God Lu and Dragon Master must have also obtained something left behind by Sword God King. That was why they could support a world.
In fact, the Three Great Sword Realms were originally one. That was Sword God King himself.
If they wanted to reappear at the peak of the Ancient Sword Dao, the Three Great Sword Realms must merge!
This was the goal of Sword God Avici and Immortal Venerable Dong Sheng to "create a god."
They needed a qualified person to inherit everything of Sword God King.
"We can't imagine how strong Sword God King was when he was at his peak. But if the God King who killed him knows about this, how can our Three Great Sword Realms exist?"
Sword Lord Gu said.
Although they didn't participate in the grudge between the Ancient Gods and didn't want to get involved, the Three Great Sword Realms would definitely be destroyed by the other party. This was beyond doubt.
"So, Avici, God Lu, and Dragon Master made an agreement. The Three Great Sword Realms will hold a sword battle and choose the most talented descendant of the three God Lords. By infusing the Three Great Sword Realms with the power of the Three Great Sword Realms, the Sword God King's Dao will be forcefully infused into the successor, creating a great miracle."
Sword Lord Gu said.
"Create a God King!"
Qin Hao's eyes widened. Everyone's hearts were in turmoil.
"We don't know who killed Sword God King, and we don't know when that day will repeat itself in the Three Great Sword Realms. In order to prevent the Great Sword Realm from being destroyed, we can only fight with all our strength.
Sword God Avici felt powerless.
Even as a God Lord of a Realm and with the power of God Lu and Dragon Master, they couldn't fight against a God King who ruled over all the realms.
Unless the Three Great Sword Realms gave birth to someone who surpassed the God Lord level and reappeared at the peak of the Ancient Sword Dao.
Otherwise, tragedy was inevitable. Not just the Avici Realm, but the Three Great Sword Realms would be completely wiped out.
