“I will always remember!”
Xitan Changshi cupped his fist and replied reverently.
He had loyally accompanied the Emperor Yan of Zhou for thousands of years and without complaint.
The Emperor sighed. “We have nothing that we cannot let go of in this world already. When Great Zhou is stabilized, you should ascend too. We will wait for you in the Upper Realm.”
Xitan Changshi looked up at him with a conflicted expression.
The Emperor and his general looked at each other, and they understood each other without speaking a word.
…
The winter snow danced in the air and laid a silver armor on the vast forest, which gave it a melancholic beauty.
Beside the lake, Jiang Xue, Huang Lianxin, Xiao Jinghong, and the others stood in a line and enjoyed the snowy vista before them. They could not help but sigh in amazement.
”Another year of snow.”
”Unknowingly, Xuanji is already 21.”
”We passed another year peacefully.”
”Hahaha, we might find some great treasure on this snowy day.”
”Two years to the ascension of Great Zhou’s Emperor… Make a guess, do you think our master will go?”
The group talked heartily, but behind them, Zhou Xuanji was still lying in the great cauldron.
At this moment, Zhou Xuanji’s skin was alternating between gold and silver. Piping hot steam was coming out from his skin, which stopped the snow from landing on his body.
Daoya Old Man stood before the cauldron and was playing with the Three-eyed Drought Rodent with his hand.
”What kind of technique is this brat cultivating? Still not breaking through after absorbing so many herbs and medicines?”
He mumbled curiously.
There were too many mysteries that Zhou Xuanji wanted to know.
But this brat just wouldn’t say. Even Jiang Xue did not know much about him, which made his heart feel like it was being clawed by a cat.
It had been more than half a month since Zhou Xuanji entered the cauldron, and he was still not finished.
And so, another three days passed.
Zhou Xuanji finally reached the point of breaking through.
Flesh Sword was used to forge one’s flesh into the sword!
He formed a circle with his arms while the Tianxia Map was faintly visible on his palm. Spiritual Qi from his surroundings gathered around him and formed into an enormous vortex in the air above him.
”The flesh is the sword… The heart is like the sword. The eyes are the sword, the hair is like the sword…”
Zhou Xuanji mumbled to himself as his sword Qi surged all across his body. Using modern-day biological terms, he would have mastered the Flesh Sword when his sword Qi transformed into cells.
Once he accomplished it, all parts of his body could become a fearsome sword.
”A little more!”
Zhou Xuanji gritted his teeth and roared.
Boooom!
The Spiritual Qi flooded into his body forcefully and caused the entire cauldron to shake violently.
Everyone turned around and was excited by what they saw.
”Our master is going to succeed?”
Huang Lianxin cried out in surprise. They walked over immediately.
”Hold on! Stay away from him!”
Daoya Old Man raised his hand and cried out, looking anxious.
The group heard and immediately stopped.
Shwoooosh! Shwoooosh! Shwoooosh…
Strands of sword Qi flew out from the great cauldron and soared toward the sky like fireworks. It was impressive.
”Such powerful sword Qi…”
Zhao Congjian cried out in amazement. Admiration was all over his face.
Boooom!
The great cauldron exploded and all the medicinal water splattered everywhere.
Zhou Xuanji flew up, beaming with gold and silver radiance. His sword Qi surrounded his body like a tornado.
”My children, look carefully. I will let you witness today what ‘man is the sword, the sword is man’ means. I’m going to become a sword!”
Zhou Xuanji smiled and said. Silver light beamed out from his eyes and his entire body seemed like it would disappear any moment.
After he spoke, he soared into the sky.
The silver light enveloped his body, which turned into a silver stream that flew across the sky swiftly. The falling snow was circling in the air as he shot past them, generating strong gale winds.
Everyone looked up and was nervously anticipating.
After the silver light dispersed, Zhou Xuanji disappeared. Instead, they could only see a long silver sword.
