Chapter 317 - 317 Heavenly Sword Sect

317 Heavenly Sword Sect

The Great Zhou Dynasty had been invaded by powerful alien cultivators. Although the dust had settled and He Chuan was handling things steadily, it did not cause an inevitable result.

But the discussions throughout the Central Plains did not stop.

Especially Shen Changyi’s strength. Although Xi Fenglie wasn’t as powerful as He Chuan, he was still a strong fighter of the Zhou Dynasty. It was obvious that he was the first to step into the mortal realm.

If He Chuan hadn’t acted at the critical moment, the final result would have been difficult to predict.

Because of this, the various sects of the martial arts world in the Central Plains had a clearer understanding of martial arts and cultivation.

No matter how strong a martial artist was, they would not even have the power to fight back in front of a cultivator.

However, He Chuan’s strength had once again deepened their impression of him.

What was the limit of this Duke he? was he at the peak of the mortal realm or the higher level of the earth realm?

In the Imperial Palace.

He Chuan didn’t care about what was going on in the outside world.

Recently, he had stopped cultivating and instead returned to reading in the library every day to allow his state of mind to catch up.

He had broken through too quickly recently and was afraid that his state of mind would be affected. A cultivator’s state of mind was more important than that of a martial arts practitioner.

Zhou Xue followed behind him every day, like a loyal little follower.

“Daddy, play Go with me. Big Brother won’t play with me!” Zhou Xue came to He Chuan with a chessboard, wanting to play Go.

“You can play Go, but you can’t go back on your move,” He Chuan said with a smile.

He liked his daughter very much. He usually doted on her, but when it came to teaching her, he was not careless.

Zhou Ming did not want to play with Zhou Xue because she liked to go back on her move.

Because of He Chuan’s teachings, he always remembered them in his heart and had no regrets.

Just like the path of life, after taking this step, one could no longer retreat. One had to bear the consequences on their own.

When she heard that she could not go back on her move, Zhou Xue’s beautiful big eyes rolled twice before she finally agreed.

…

In the New World.

The Heavenly Sword Sect.

Huge volcanic craters surrounded the ten-thousand-meter-high mountain. One could vaguely see the boiling lava, which was extremely hot.

The various experts from the mysterious Heavenly Sword Sect were all seated around the place with anxious expressions on their faces as if they were waiting for something.

They were all from the Heavenly Sword Sect. A few elders and personal disciples were gathered here, waiting for their sect leader to come out of seclusion.

As long as everything goes well, Murong Fu will become a strong man at the fourth-stage earth realm.

At that time, the Heavenly Sword Sect would have absolute authority in the New World.

Every step forward in the earth realm was extremely difficult. The difference between the initial stage of the earth realm and the second-stage was like the difference between heaven and earth.

A few hundred years ago, when Xu Fengyu, the World God, appeared out of nowhere, all the cultivation forces in the Central Plains were involved. Whether it was the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect or other hidden cultivation sects, they were all slaughtered by Xu Fengyu.

The godfiend race in the distant Sacred Soul Island was also not spared.

All the cultivation sects in this world put aside their differences and gather together to deal with Xu Fengyu.

However, the World God’s ability was too strange, and countless self-cultivators died at Xu Fengyu’s hands.

Moreover, the more energy Xu Fengyu absorbed from the experts, the stronger he became.

Everyone realized that they could not continue like this. At that time, the Island Master of Sacred Soul Island had suggested borrowing the nine prefectures cauldrons from the second emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty to seal the World God.

The Zhou Dynasty’s second emperor saw that Xu Fengyu had indeed gone too far, so he agreed to lend out the national defense divine weapon. However, he made a request that the nine prefecture cauldrons could not be taken out of the Zhou Dynasty.

Later on, the cultivators set a trap and successfully sealed Xu Fengyu.

However, as the nine prefectures’ cauldrons sealed the World God, the spiritual energy of the entire world gradually disappeared. Not only were the cultivation levels of the various sects unable to increase, but they even showed signs of a slight decline.

It turned out that the Zhou Dynasty’s second emperor had long expected this. Back then, the cultivation sects suppressed the Imperial court, and the Zhou Dynasty could not control the cultivation sects at all.

The effect of imperial power was pitifully small.

If the suppression of the World God were carried out on the land of the Zhou Dynasty, it would not affect the fate of the Zhou Dynasty, but at the same time, it would weaken the cultivation sects.

It was a plan that killed two birds with one stone.

Most importantly, this matter could not be blamed on the second emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. Without the nine prefectures cauldrons, it would not be as simple as the gradual disappearance of spiritual energy.

The various cultivation sects joined forces to create a new small world and left the Central Plains. The cultivation era had completely abandoned this place.

Later on, when martial arts flourished, everyone gradually forgot about the existence of cultivation.

Until recently, Xu Fengyu took advantage of a tiny crack in the seal and bewitched some people to help him escape.

Only then could the spiritual energy be restored.

The Heavenly Sword Sect was also a cultivation sect that had arrived in the New World.

Today was the day Murong Fu came out of seclusion. The elders and core disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect were all waiting for the decision of the sect leader to return to the outside world.

Originally, this matter was basically set in stone. However, the news suddenly came back that their sect’s disciple, Shen Changyi, had been killed by a mysterious expert of the Zhou Dynasty.

Boom!

All of a sudden, the ten-thousand-meter-tall mountain began to shake. A terrifying force shot into the sky, and the volcano erupted.

The lava flowed along the mountain.

The experts of the mysterious Heavenly Sword sect all flew into the air to avoid the scorching lava.

A figure flew out. This person was wearing a green robe and held a treasure sword that was flowing with rainbow light in his hand. It was the sword of the Heavenly Sword Sect and the “Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword” that only the sect leader could use!

Murong Fu’s eyes swept across everyone present, cold and palpitating.

“Greetings, Sect Leader!” Many elders and core disciples bowed and said respectfully.

“Where’s the Great Elder? Why didn’t he come?” Murong Fu saw that the great elder didn’t come, and his anger suddenly surged.

It was true that there was a grudge between the two of them, but today was the day he broke through to the fourth level of the earth realm. If he didn’t come, it would be a slap in the face of the sect leader.

The others looked at each other, not daring to speak.

After all, they could not afford to offend either side.

“The Great Elder said he wanted to deal with the matter of Shen Changyi’s death.” As the second elder was the most senior, he couldn’t let the atmosphere continue to be awkward.

“What? Shen Changyi’s died? Where’s Qi’er?” A monstrous aura instantly spread out. The core disciples who were flying in the air could not hold on any longer and were about to fall.

Even the few elders were breathless.

“Don’t worry, Sect Leader. The Young Master’s name token is intact, and he should still be in the outside world. We can discuss the details when we return to the sect.” The second elder waved his hand and pushed Murong Fu’s energy away, preventing his disciples from falling into the lava.

At the same time, he cursed Murong Fu in his heart because he knew that the other party was deliberately creating a scene.

He couldn’t do anything to the great elder, but he had to give everyone a warning.

He wanted to display his powerful strength.

“Hmph! Someone actually dared to touch the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect. I’ll definitely make him pay the price.” Shen Changyi was not only the loyal dog of the Murong family but also the disciple of Murong Qi.

He was shocked and angry now that he had died in an abandoned great world.

Everyone kept quiet out of fear, not daring to make a sound in front of the angry Murong Fu.

They would be courting death if they were to get themselves into trouble now.
