Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 73
Chapter 73: Will You Join The Nine Spirits Sword Sect?
Mo Shi was startled, quickly forming hand seals with both hands, and a continuous stream of Spiritual Seals emerged.
But it was too late. Ye Yu, wielding the Zi Xiao Sword, struck down with a single blow. A black Sword Light flashed past, instantly splitting Mo Shi in two.
Seeing a bl00d bead fall from Mo Shi’s body, Ye Yu crushed it without a word.
This bl00d bead is the Bl00d Seed unique to the Bl00d Demon Clan. Even if the Physical Body is shattered, as long as the Bl00d Seed remains, it can be used to rebuild the Physical Body through special means.
Facing a Formation Master, even a Formation Master, you just need to act before they react.
Not everyone can achieve dual cultivation of formations and spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy cultivation of ordinary Formation Masters is not considered strong.
Seeing that fleeting black Sword Light, Ye Yu’s heart tightened. Obviously, after absorbing Cang Mo in the Xuantian Cauldron, the Power within him had undergone some changes.
After all, Ye Yu originally did not have a Spiritual Root; the source of his spiritual energy came from the Xuantian Cauldron.
This change, although he could feel it was stronger than before, was uncertain whether it was good or bad.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Yu stopped worrying about this and, suppressing his aura, entered the Sword King Hall.
As soon as he stepped through the Sword King Hall’s doors, Ye Yu saw many corpses drained of bl00d, clearly the work of the Bl00d Demon Clan.
Moreover, among them, many had just died, but there was not a trace of bl00d on the ground.
Seeing this, Ye Yu’s expression turned serious. The Bl00d Demon’s power was recovering.
The Sword King Hall was not large. From Cang Mo’s memories, Ye Yu learned that the Sword King Hall was not a Sect, but simply the Sword King’s residence.
Therefore, when Ye Yu reached the center of the Sword King Hall, he saw everyone gathered there.
Inside the Main Hall, a group of Cultivators eyed each other warily. At this moment, if anyone made the first move, a chaotic battle would surely erupt.
In the deepest part of the Main Hall, a Throne was visible, and a figure sat upon it.
The figure was clad in Golden Armor, their hands crossed over a decayed sword.
Even from a distance, Ye Yu felt a terrifying pressure. The Zi Xiao Sword within his Storage Ring, as if sensing a threat, emitted sword cries into Ye Yu’s mind.
This Zi Xiao Sword had once followed the Founding Ancestor of the Zi Xiao Sword Sect to conquer the world and had long since developed sentience.
Although he didn’t know the Ancestor Zi Xiao’s cultivation level, it definitely wouldn’t be weak.
This Sword King, merely a corpse, could cause this reaction from the Zi Xiao Sword; its terrifying degree is imaginable.
Under everyone’s gaze, Jian Jiuchen slowly walked toward the Sword King’s remains. A group of Cultivators’ expressions changed instantly, wanting to stop him.
But under the watchful eyes of three Transformation God Stage Cultivators, they all held back.
“Everyone, the Sword King Legacy will naturally find its destined successor. There’s no need to compete. Let’s wait for the Legacy to choose its master,” Jian Jiuchen’s calm voice echoed, revealing boundless confidence.
As the Senior Martial Brother of the Nine Spirits Sword Sect and the ninth-ranked Sword Cultivator on the Leizhou Genius Ranking, possessing such confidence was only natural.
In his opinion, who else could this Sword King Legacy possibly choose but himself?
Ye Yu stood at the back, watching Jian Jiuchen approach the Sword King’s remains step by step, his gaze vigilant, watching his surroundings.
It was too quiet!
The Bl00d Demon hadn’t made a single move? This silence was rather strange!
Just as he was thinking this, Jian Jiuchen had already reached the Sword King, and slowly reached out to pick up the decayed sword.
The moment he picked it up, the sword instantly emitted a dazzling light, and then a sword no bigger than a palm slowly rose from within, and the sharp Sword Qi instantly swept across the entire hall.
The boundless Sword Intent caused the three Transformation God Stage Experts to tremble involuntarily.
“This is the Sword King Legacy! ” Jian Jiuchen said, trembling. He could feel the endless Sword Intent emanating from it, an Intent he had never felt even in their Nine Spirits Sword Sect’s Grand Elder.
Then, Jian Jiuchen excitedly grabbed for it, but unexpectedly, the small sword dodged him.
Jian Jiuchen’s expression immediately darkened. Clearly, he had been rejected by the Sword King Legacy!
Not just Jian Jiuchen, but the faces of the Nine Spirits Sword Sect members were not looking good. They hadn’t expected that among those present, someone’s talent would surpass Jian Jiuchen’s?
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the small sword flew up, circled the Main Hall, and flew straight toward Ye Yu.
Ye Yu stared at the small sword. There was an almost imperceptible bloodline on it. Everyone saw only the Legacy and did not realize the existence of this bloodline.
But Ye Yu sensed endless Demonic Qi from this bloodline.
The Bl00d Demon was hidden within the Legacy!
Seeing the small sword flying towards him, Ye Yu quickly retreated several steps.
Seeing this, everyone was surprised. What was wrong with this person? This was something everyone desired, and he was rejecting it?
While everyone was puzzled, the small sword, which had originally been flying toward Ye Yu, strangely changed direction and flew straight toward Ye Xuan in the corner.
Ye Xuan was overjoyed and stepped forward, but the small sword stopped between Ye Yu and Ye Xuan, trembling constantly, clearly making a choice.
Ye Yu looked at the small sword. The bloodline on it was constantly flashing, and the Bl00d Demon hidden inside was controlling the small sword to fly towards Ye Xuan.
In contrast to the others’ surprise, Jian Jiuchen’s expression became increasingly unsightly. This wasn’t proof that two people present had higher Sword Dao talent than himself?
And, it seemed that both were from Qingzhou?!
After a long stalemate, perhaps the Sword King’s will prevailed, and the small sword slowly tilted toward Ye Yu.
Ye Xuan’s face immediately turned ashen.
Just as the small sword approached, a disdainful cold snort seemed to sound from within Ye Yu. The next moment, the cauldron lid lifted, revealing a crack, and then a bloody light seeped out.
Boundless Sword Intent erupted from Ye Yu’s body, directly knocking the small sword away.
Ye Yu was startled, suddenly remembering that when he had achieved Enlightenment, he had attracted the attention of three Human Dao Sages, and one of the Sages’ voices had sounded like this.
The Xuantian Cauldron had absorbed the three figures into it. At the time, Ye Yu had not felt any abnormalities. Now it seems that the three Sages had remained inside the Xuantian Cauldron and never left!
The small sword, after being knocked away, finally landed in Ye Xuan’s hand. The next moment, the small sword merged into Ye Xuan’s body, and a sword mark instantly appeared on his forehead.
That was the mark of receiving the Sword King Legacy.
Feeling the endless Power flowing through his body, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but moan in pleasure, and his aura surged.
At this moment, as long as Ye Xuan successfully condensed his Nascent Soul, he would become a true Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.
Seeing this, everyone present showed a look of envy. An Elder from the Nine Spirits Sword Sect stepped forward and said, “Since the Sword King Legacy has chosen you, it shows that your Sword Dao talent is not weak. Are you willing to join my Nine Spirits Sword Sect? ”
