Chapter 776: Chapter 416: The Tenth Sword? (Part 2)
However, if the Unity Sword were completely perfected, perhaps it would no longer be the original Unity Sword.
He was very curious, did the Shenxiao Immortal Emperor ever fully perfect the Unity Sword?
If there was an existing Unity Sword, perhaps he wouldn’t need to deduce and perfect it himself.
Suddenly, Li Qian stood up and walked out of the Chenzhong Hall, arriving at the side hall.
"Greetings, Family Head."
Ji Shang respectfully saluted.
Ji Shang had now also become a First Grade True Immortal.
Moreover, he had comprehended the God-Slaying Sword to perfection.
Of course, his success was mainly due to the assistance during the upgrade of the Chen Bell.
Otherwise, there would have been little hope.
For many years, Ji Shang still referred to Li Qian as Family Head.
"What is it?"
Li Qian asked.
"Family Head, Ji Yuan has successfully joined the Shenxiao Family."
Ji Shang quickly said.
"Succeeded?"
Li Qian was very pleased upon hearing this.
The Shenxiao Family, naturally, was the family established by the Shenxiao Immortal Emperor.... After years of development, it had long since become the Heavenly Court’s premier Immortal Clan, although the Shenxiao Family, aside from the Shenxiao Immortal Emperor, did not have another Immortal Emperor, having just the Shenxiao Immortal Emperor was sufficient.
Li Qian had been trying to enter the core of the Heavenly Court.... Hence, he had the Ji Family members attempt to establish connections with the Shenxiao Family members.
The Ji Family themselves were descendants of the Shenxiao Immortal Emperor’s bloodline.
Moreover, Ji Yuan had also trained the God-Slaying Sword to perfection.
Therefore, being accepted by the Shenxiao Family was a natural progression.
As for whether Ji Yuan would reveal the existence of the Yuhua Immortal Palace, Li Qian was not worried.
After the Chen Bell was upgraded to be an Innate Spiritual Treasure last time, the Chen Bell Mark was planted in everyone’s mind, ensuring that they would be influenced by the Chen Bell, making it difficult to act against the Yuhua Immortal Palace.
Even if someone attempted Soul Search, the Chen Bell Mark could withstand it.
.....
The Shenxiao Family, as the premier Immortal Clan of the Heavenly Court, occupied a vast and prosperous land in the Eastern Continent.
The Shenxiao Family was divided into five major surnames: Xiao, Jiang, Chen, Ji, and Xiang.
The reason for these five surnames was the Shenxiao Immortal Emperor’s four reincarnation experiences.
His first life bore the surname Xiao.
His most recent life bore the surname Xiang.
This led to the Shenxiao Family possessing five surnames.
No matter what the surname, having the Shenxiao Immortal Emperor’s blood was to be part of the Shenxiao Family.
In the Shenxiao Family, the significance of the surname was minimal.
Whether one receives focused cultivation depends entirely on their cultivation of the Divine Firmament Nine Swords.
Generally, those who can master the God-Slaying Sword will undoubtedly receive focused cultivation.
At this time, within the Emperor Hall of the Shenxiao Family.
The centennial Emperor Seed selection was taking place.
To qualify for the Emperor Seed, one must first perfect the God-Slaying Sword, then be a True Immortal, and lastly be under one huiyuan of age...
This time, thirteen individuals qualified for the Emperor Seed selection.
All thirteen met the requirements.
Though the Emperor Seed criteria were high, the Shenxiao Family members all possessed the Shenxiao Immortal Emperor’s lineage, with many being Innate Immortal Roots.
"You are all outstanding members of our Shenxiao Family, possessing the Heavenly Emperor’s bloodline....."
A veteran elder, with white hair and a beard almost dragging to the ground, delivered a lengthy speech of encouragement, urging the Emperor Seeds to strive for the Shenxiao Family to produce another Immortal Emperor...
Though the Shenxiao Family was the premier Immortal Clan, no new Immortal Emperor had emerged over the years... nobody even managed to pass the Hongjun Palace examination.
Despite being the bloodline of the Shenxiao Heavenly Emperor, entering the Hongjun Palace examination remained particularly challenging.
Because this was the Hongjun Palace examination, not under the command of any Palace Master.
But involved certain examination rules, only those who passed could enter the Hongjun Palace.
For many years, no Shenxiao Family member had passed the Hongjun Palace examination, causing many family elders to feel humiliated, believing it a disgrace to the Heavenly Emperor.
Among the thirteen, there was one named Ji Yuan.
He was not born in the Eastern Continent’s Shenxiao Family but had joined in recent years.
The Shenxiao Family discovered Ji Yuan by chance in the Nan Zhanbu Continent, a descendant of the Immortal Emperor’s bloodline who had perfected the God-Slaying Sword.
Indeed, the Immortal Emperor’s bloodline was scattered across various continents, countless in number.... Yet most had fallen into ordinary lives.
Only some bloodline branches still continually supplied talent to the Shenxiao Family.
Thus, Ji Yuan was considered a descendent of a declining branch.
After all, Ji Yuan had perfected the God-Slaying Sword.
Just based on this, it was evident that Ji Yuan possessed the Immortal Emperor’s bloodline.
"Ji Yuan, though you were not born in the Eastern Continent, you possess the Heavenly Emperor’s bloodline, our Shenxiao Family’s principle is the Heavenly Emperor’s bloodline is one family, regardless of the surname....."
The elder looked at Ji Yuan and said.
It was rare for a bloodline from a declining branch to return, this time was an exception.
Moreover, reaching such a level without Shenxiao Family’s nurture was even more commendable.
Ji Yuan listened seriously.
He knew this was the best chance to enter the core of the Shenxiao Family.
"Alright, next I’ll lead you to the Heavenly Emperor Stele, where the Shenxiao Ninth Sword left by the Heavenly Emperor resides...."
The elder with the white beard said.
"Elder Yang, isn’t the Shenxiao Ninth Sword already in the Sword Manual?"
Ji Yuan suddenly asked.
He considered himself an inexperienced ordinary Ji family member.
"Ji Yuan, the Shenxiao Ninth Sword you possess is incomplete.... The true Ninth Sword was perfected by the Heavenly Emperor beyond the void."
White-bearded Elder Yang stroked his beard, smiling: "Moreover, the Heavenly Emperor once said, above the Ninth Sword there exists the tenth sword..."
"The tenth sword?"
Ji Yuan’s eyes widened.
Just the Ninth Sword was already unimaginable, let alone the tenth sword?
"Yes, however, whether the Heavenly Emperor created the tenth sword remains unknown."
White-bearded Elder Yang said.
After all, the tenth sword was merely something the Heavenly Emperor mentioned... He felt the Ninth Sword wasn’t the true limit, the tenth sword was... the true transcendental sword.
Led by Elder Yang, Ji Yuan and twelve other Immortal Seeds entered a mysterious realm, where a gigantic stone stele stood, engraved with numerous words in sword strokes, glaringly displaying the Sword Technique General Outline of the Divine Firmament Nine Swords.
Each word contained the ultimate Sword Dao Mysterious Mechanism.
As people cast their gaze upon these words, they were instantly immersed in a vast void, a majestic figure wielding a sword.....
Unknown how long had passed, Ji Yuan detached from the trance, with a curious Sword Qi surrounding him.
"You, have you already comprehended the Ninth Sword so quickly?"
White-bearded Elder Yang looked at Ji Yuan, his face filled with ecstatic joy.
This Ji Yuan had comprehended the Ninth Sword in less than an hour.
He was undoubtedly the first descendant of the Heavenly Emperor to grasp the Ninth Sword in such a short time since the establishment of the Heavenly Emperor Stele.
The previous shortest had taken eight days and nights...
Other Immortal Seeds had taken much longer, even spending countless time comprehending the Ninth Sword.
The disparity was evident.
"Elder Yang, is this difficult?"
Ji Yuan asked in confusion.
When he comprehended, there was a strange bell sound resonating in his mind, making the comprehension of the Ninth Sword surprisingly effortless.
Unbeknownst to him, this was the effect of the Chen Bell Mark.
Even outside Chenzhong Cave Heaven, bearing the Chen Bell Mark allowed certain auxiliary cultivation benefits.
Although the Chen Bell Mark essentially bound his life and everything to the Chen Bell, he equally gained great benefits.
"Uh....."
Elder Yang didn’t know what to say.
This wasn’t just difficult, it was incredibly difficult.
The Shenxiao Family had numerous members; these thirteen were selected from among countless billions of Heavenly Emperor descendants, each possessing outstanding talent.
Yet despite this, grasping the Ninth Sword required immense time and effort.
Furthermore, even after comprehending the Ninth Sword, truly entering the pathway, and mastering it from rudimentary to expertise, small success, Great Success.... each step was a barrier.
To date, within the Shenxiao Family, those who had comprehended the Ninth Sword to Great Success were extremely few.
Now, Ji Yuan had suddenly comprehended the Ninth Sword in less than an hour, Elder Yang couldn’t imagine how rapidly Ji Yuan would comprehend the Ninth Sword next?
