Shen Yuan, who had just stored the Bronze Ancient Sword into the storage space porcelain bottle, was stunned. As he stared at the characters displayed on the system interface, he felt as though his brain had come to a halt.

“Candle Dragon Immortal Sword? Sword Master? Earthly Destroyer Divine Power?”

Just as Shen Yuan was filled with questions, the color suddenly drained from the face of the old man who had taken control of Old Master Fu’s body. It seemed that Shen Yuan’s confinement of the Bronze Ancient Sword in the storage space porcelain bottle had severely affected him.

Pale-faced, the old man suddenly spewed out a mouthful of blood, collapsed on the ground, and lost all signs of life.

The Fu Family People had fled the room at the first sign of danger. Only Shen Yuan, left standing amidst the ruins of the bedroom, twitched at the corner of his mouth.

“Hold on, let me straighten out this Artificial Intelligence System’s prompt.” “The system prompt said I defeated the Sword Master and gained the approval of the Candle Dragon Immortal Sword.

This means that the old guy who stole Old Master Fu’s body in front of me is the so-called Sword Master, and the rusty ancient sword that I forcibly stored in the porcelain bottle, which is about to turn into Bronze Fire Stick, is the Candle Dragon Immortal Sword.”

Shen Yuan first looked at Old Master Fu lying on the ground, and then carefully remembered the appearance of the Candle Dragon Immortal Sword. He immediately felt that the plot had taken a strange turn.

“Normally, this should be a regular urban family struggle drama. I was supposed to step in and save Old Master Fu from the enemy, earning the gratitude of the Fu Family, right?

Now, however, I have merely defeated a weak old man who just about reached the Essence Refining Stage, and forcibly snatched a rusty Bronze Fire Stick that could, at most, display the power of a magical treasure. And this transformed the plot into a great war of cultivation, making me the Unparalleled Sword Immortal, a victor over the Sword Master?”

“Has this so-called Sword Master and Immortal Sword been cheapened?”

Despite having experienced the operations of the Artificial Intelligence System before, Shen Yuan could not help but begin to complain about his current predicament.

At that moment, the porcelain bottle held by Shen Yuan trembled slightly. Seeing this, Shen Yuan quickly threw the bottle toward a corner of the room.

Despite Shen Yuan’s efforts to maintain the stability of the space, the porcelain bottle was not truly a spirit object, and it could not withstand the space established by Pot’s Heaven Divine Power for a long time.

A series of Space Rifts burst open, but unlike before, the Space Rifts now had an opponent.

The seemingly ordinary Bronze Fire Stick unexpectedly resisted the cutting force of the Space Rifts. The black Space Rifts could not even scrape off the rust on the surface of the Bronze Fire Stick, so it quickly disappeared under the world’s autonomous repair.

The Candle Dragon Immortal Sword fell to the ground with a clear impact sound.

Shen Yuan looked at the Candle Dragon Immortal Sword and now, seeing that the Space Rifts still could not harm it, he finally began to believe the system’s prompt.

As he reached out to touch the Candle Dragon Immortal Sword, which had lost the manipulation of outsiders, the sword did not emit any defensive Sword Qi. Instead, it allowed Shen Yuan to grasp it easily, like an ordinary object.

A tangible feeling of weight spread throughout Shen Yuan’s body. Holding the Candle Dragon Immortal Sword, Shen Yuan felt as though being watched by a ferocious beast, constantly exerting an invisible pressure on him.

But the pressure of the Candle Dragon Immortal Sword was not too strong. Shen Yuan adjusted to the pressure after a short contact, and began to feel the rusty ancient sword in his hand.

The battle was over within the room. The Fu Family People cautiously looked into the room from the doorway.

Fu Hua’s gaze first fell on the building destroyed by the onslaught of the old man taken over Old Master Fu. The collapsed floors and cracked walls transformed the room into ruins, the sheer destructive force far exceeded the scope of humanity.

Yet in front o( Shen Yuan, both the splattered debris and cracks ceased their spread, as though an invisible barrier had divided the room.

At this moment, the black-and-white kitten, small enough to sit on Shen Yuan’s shoulder, was already nestled there. Shen Yuan held an ancient bronze sword in his hands, his fingers slowly swept past the mottled rust, emitting a faint air of age-old vicissitudes.

In Shen Yuan’s eyes, the ancient times lingered.

Fu Hua’s heart pounded, a wildly bold idea flashing through his mind.

“Teacher Shen is not from this era!”

Shen Yuan naturally had no interest in exploring Fu Hua’s thinking, his attention was entirely focused on the Candle Dragon Immortal Sword.

He could feel that throughout the thousands of years the Spirit Energy had been depleted, the Candle Dragon Immortal Sword had not undergone any preservation measure, what was lost was more than merely Spirit Energy replenishment.

Even for a precious Immortal Sword, it is hard to transcend the long passage of time.

Over the millennia, the quality of the Candle Dragon Immortal Sword gradually declined, from a true Immortal Sword to a Bronze Fire Stick that could only function with the strength of magical treasures, the gap between them was enormous.

The rules of the era when the spirit energy was depleted turned into mottled rust, blocking the essence of the Candle Dragon Immortal Sword. The depleted spirit energy was squeezing the foundation of the Immortal Sword, making it lose its divine might completely.

As a result, the Candle Dragon Immortal Sword was being used by a mere Essence Refining Stage old man and was easily trapped by Shen Yuan’s storage space porcelain bottle.

If it were in its peak period, even a real grotto heavens sacred ground Candle Dragon Immortal Sword could slash this confined space in one stroke, not to mention the narrow space created by Shen Yuan.

Therefore, the decline in quality of the Candle Dragon Immortal Sword was a good thing for Shen Yuan. If it were a true Immortal Sword, he wouldn’t even have the qualifications to touch it, not to mention defeating its master.

Having this thought, Shen Yuan finally realized the biggest use of his Artificial Intelligence System.

“For me thousands of years later, even joining a sect in the beginner’s guide has become a more difficult task than ascending to heaven. This is the change brought about by the passage of thousands of years.

However, some extremely difficult tasks thousands of years ago have now become quite easy.”

“For instance, becoming a Sect Master. I merely wrote my name on the “Sect Masters Directory” and became the Sect Master without anyone’s opposition. I just killed an old and frail man wielding a Bronze Fire Stick, and I completed the task of defeating the Sword Master and became an Unparalleled Sword Immortal.

This discrepancy could certainly serve as an opportunity for me to earn hidden rewards from the system in the future!”

Having realized this, even the composed Shen Yuan couldn’t help feeling a surge of exhilaration.

The two hidden achievements that he accidentally completed resulted in him acquiring two Earthly Destroyer Divine Skills, these were profound treasures moving towards the path of the Immortal.

If he could continue completing hidden achievements in a similar manner in the future, it would certainly bring Shen Yuan greater surprises.

This revelation was even more important than the Candle Dragon Immortal Sword that Shen Yuan had obtained.

While Shen Yuan was deep in thought, Bai Xue, who was resting on Shen Yuan’s shoulder, cautiously examined the Candle Dragon Immortal Sword, her tiny eyebrows tightly knitted as if she was puzzled about something.

Then, Bai Xue extended her small paw and lightly brushed the Candle Dragon Immortal Sword in Shen Yuan’s hand. An imperceptible ray of light merged into the Candle Dragon Immortal Sword.

The next moment, the Candle Dragon Immortal Sword quivered. Following that, a painful howl echoed as a soul, with a hideous face as if corroded by sulfuric acid, appeared above the Candle Dragon Immortal Sword.
