Chapter 347: The 347th Human Emperor’s Sword Emerges

The Sword Intent in Gu Yang’s mind was gifted to him by the headmaster of the Wen Academy. For this Sword Intent, he promised to protect the academy for three hundred years.

He learned this sword technique to get rid of the mark left on him by that being from the Chiming Heaven.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes. Since then, that being from the Chiming Heaven had not troubled him again. Instead, more powerful enemies had emerged.

With the Cao family and Gao family as his ears and eyes, that being from the Chiming Heaven should already know about the descent of the Yao Chi Immortal Palace into the Human Realm. It probably did not dare to come to the Human Realm anymore.

Regardless, since he paid such a high tuition fee, wouldn’t it be a loss if he didn’t master it?

Therefore, Gu Yang seriously studied this sword technique.

But in the beginning, progress was very slight.

Therefore, he started from scratch to learn the sword technique. Through numerous simulations, he cultivated the sword technique to a high realm, but still had no clue about that Sword Intent.

Not until he got the “Taixuan Heavenly Book,” did he begin cramming the ancient cultivation system.

Every experience accumulated through countless simulations, like water flowing into a canal, helped him grasp this sword technique.

He finally understood why he couldn’t comprehend that Sword Intent before.

This sword technique, passed down from ancient times, follows the path of a sword cultivator, which greatly differs from contemporary martial arts.

It’s just like using classical physics formulae to solve quantum mechanics problems. Obviously, they don’t fit.

“Zhanxuan Sword Technique.”

As Gu Yang silently muttered the name of this sword technique, essentially, it was a technique that only a Celestial Being could master, involving some Tao-related skills.

Just like the fourth form of the Shenzhao Six Destroy, the Celestial Decline.

The first form he comprehended, named Yuan Destruction, can cut True Essence and Mana, and even the power of the Immortal Element.

Gu Yang was a bit eager to try and test the power of this sword move. However, he forcefully held back.

He still needed a good sword.

The Guanghan Immortal Sword should be a Pure Yang grade Magic Treasure, but he always felt that this sword was somewhat Yin oriented, better suited for women.

Suddenly, he thought of a sword. His heart moved, that’s it!

Gu Yang rose into the air and flew towards the Divine City.

At this moment, there were twelve days left until the Yaochi Conference.

…

The Divine City, in the Duke’s Mansion.

The Everlasting Hall.

Hum——

In the center of the hall, the Duke’s Sword was surrounded by a purple aura, a splendid light shot up to the sky, almost piercing the roof. In the surging mist, the scenery of the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains became even clearer.

The Duke was sitting next to it, his robust body bursting with unparalleled power, forming a resonance with the Duke’s Sword in front of him.

At last, the purple light on the Duke’s Sword receded, returning to calm.

The aura of the duke sitting in front also calmed down, and even the sharpness in his eyes disappeared, as if he had become an ordinary old man.

But there was a hint of worry between his brows.

At this moment, someone outside knocked on the door. “Father.”

The Duke said, “Come in.”

The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man who exuded a killing intent all over his body walked in. This was Zhu Weiyue, the eldest son of the Duke. He said with a surprised face, “Father, have you broken through to the Unleaking Realm?”

His father, the Duke, had been stuck in the Mana Triple Heavens for many years. In the battle to wipe out the Red Venerate, he had been seriously injured and could never fully recover.

Now, he had not only fully recovered from his injury, but had finally crossed that threshold and broken through to the Unleaking Realm.

From then on, the Duke would have a lifespan of a thousand years. One or two hundred years later, the Zhu family might become the tenth most prominent surname under heaven.

This was good news for both the Duke’s Mansion and Great Zhou.

But there was not a trace of joy on the Duke’s face. While looking at the Duke’s Sword, he said solemnly, “The Duke’s Sword sacrificed its own source to enhance my strength. It must have sensed a great danger. Weiyue, I fear that the Great Zhou has reached a critical point for its survival.”

Upon hearing his father’s words, Zhu Weiyue did not agree. In his opinion, strength was the key.

His father had entered the Unleaking Realm. Even if the Great Zhou was destroyed, as long as he was still there, the Zhu family would be as stable as a mountain.

When the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, the Great Zhou replaced it. The nine surnames of the world remained the same, even the Lin family, which caused the fall of the Qin Dynasty, continued.

That was because the Lin family still had an Unleaking Realm powerhouse.

When the Qin Dynasty was destroyed back then, it was not as if the Duke’s Sword had fallen. It was merely a change of dynasty. As long as the strength was still there, the Zhu family would always be the Duke’s Mansion.

Zhu Weiyue comforted, “Father, with your current strength, what is there to fear even if the barbarians invade?”

“It’s not that simple.”

The Duke shook his head, he had a deep connection with the Duke’s Sword. He knew, the crisis this time was not as simple as the Great Zhou’s destruction.

It was a hundred times worse.

It could even lead to the sinking of Divine State, with billions of living beings having no place to be buried.

The Duke’s Sword, rather than being linked with Great Zhou’s air transport, is more closely tied to the air transport of the Divine State.

In the dark, the Duke’s Sword could sense changes in the air transport, thereby triggering its reaction.

The Duke’s Sword willingly gave all of its essence to him, helping him break through to the Unleaking Realm. It was like putting all eggs in one basket, and it would lose the ability to resist risks.

If the Great Zhou collapsed, it would also cease to exist.

If it were a common crisis, the Duke’s Sword would never make such an extreme reaction.

News about the Barbarian’s having another Celestial Being is still confidential, only known to the Red Mansion and the Empress Dowager.

The Red Mansion has its own information channels, while the Empress Dowager learned it from Gu Yang.

Gu Yang’s news came from simulations of the future.

Except for this, no one in the Great Zhou currently knows this news.

The Duke doesn’t know about it yet either.

Of course, the overreaction of the Duke’s Sword is not simply because it senses the appearance of a Celestial Being in the grasslands.

The crisis it senses is far more terrifying than that.

This world is about to be destroyed.

Under such a crisis, the Duke’s Sword can still get the blessing of this world’s air transport, greatly increase its strength, and even feedback to its master.
