"How dare you!"
As soon as the voice fell, a booming roar echoed, "I am the guardian of the Xuanyuan Divine Sword—Emperor Xuanyuan!"
"Why are you so disrespectful, junior?"
"You..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng's heart was stirred by a colossal wave, and a strong sense of belonging surged within him. "You are that eternally revered Emperor Xuanyuan, who shook the ancient world and pioneered human civilization?!"
"It seems you haven't forgotten your ancestors, junior."
Hearing the sincerity in Lin Feng's tone, his voice softened slightly. "This is the first level of the Qiankun Divine Palace, a sacred cultivation ground that prodigies dream of, and a deadly trap for demons and monsters alike, known as the Xuanyuan Tomb."
"Based on your strength, you have no right to be in the Xuanyuan Tomb."
"You must have had a powerful being assist you, or perhaps you've received the acknowledgment of the Xuanyuan Divine Sword."
Lin Feng nodded awkwardly, then surveyed his surroundings again. "Is this Xuanyuan Tomb really that impressive?"
He didn't notice any highlights, nor any spiritual energy fluctuations.
"Ignorant!"
Emperor Xuanyuan reprimanded him, then continued with an arrogant tone:
"What do you think the Xuanyuan Tomb is? Is it a place anyone can enter?"
"Only those chosen by the Xuanyuan Divine Sword are qualified to enter."
"Otherwise, no matter how capable you are, you'll never find the Xuanyuan Tomb, let alone enter it."
"Do you know how fortunate you are?"
Lin Feng: "..."
Emperor Xuanyuan's voice rose. "The Xuanyuan Tomb is a realm unto itself, an independent existence in the cosmos, while the Qiankun Divine Palace is an entire universe, drifting unpredictably, leaving no trace."
"To reach the Xuanyuan Tomb, one must not only possess immense destiny from heaven and earth but also receive the initial acknowledgment of the Xuanyuan Divine Sword."
"As the name suggests, the Xuanyuan Tomb is the burial place of the Xuanyuan Divine Sword."
"And the Xuanyuan Divine Sword is the ultimate sword of Chaos, the foremost among the Ten Great Immortal Treasures of Chaos. In the past, I merely learned one move, and with a single sword strike, I leveled heaven and earth."
"Since you've stumbled upon this place by sheer luck to undergo the Xuanyuan Divine Sword's trial, it means you have the potential to gain its true recognition, which in turn means possessing the foundation to look down upon all under heaven."
Hearing this, Lin Feng was astonished. "Is it that exaggerated?"
Although the System had already explained it, it wasn't as impactful as hearing it directly from Emperor Xuanyuan.
To look down upon all under heaven, what kind of existence was that!
Lin Feng had heard many legends about the Xuanyuan Divine Sword in his previous life, but they weren't this fantastical.
"Exaggerated?"
Emperor Xuanyuan's voice turned cold. "Truly, the ignorant are fearless. When you witness the power of the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, you will realize how foolish and laughable your current thoughts are!"
"Do you know why the Xuanyuan Divine Sword reigns supreme among the Ten Great Immortal Treasures of Chaos?"
As soon as the words fell, a vast pressure descended abruptly.
Lin Feng's face turned pale under his sudden burst of aura, and he quickly said, "This junior does not know, please enlighten me, senior."
At this moment, he no longer felt any disdain due to having the System. Even a sliver of the pressure released by Emperor Xuanyuan was far more potent than the pressure of Chaos.
Emperor Xuanyuan let out a cold snort, his mountain-like arrogant aura erupting, and his voice was exceptionally proud. "The Xuanyuan Divine Sword, also known as the Qiankun Divine Sword, is named so because it contains infinite Qiankun power within. It is the foremost offensive divine weapon in the Qiankun universe, its edge unstoppable wherever it points."
"This sword is a sword of the Saintly Way, a sword of Benevolence, and a sword of Slaughter."
"Forged from a wisp of primordial Yellow Qi in Chaos, this sword once defeated the three great evil sabers of the Primordial Era. It represents courage, wisdom, benevolence, invincibility... everything culminates in the heart of the benevolent to forge an invincible sword."
"In the past, I waged war against the demon leader Chiyou with no success. Later, with the aid of the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, I severed his head with a single strike, ushering in an era of peace."
"The simplest summary is: Heaven and Earth, Primordial and Yellow, reside within this sword."
"And this is merely the tip of the iceberg of what I know about the Xuanyuan Divine Sword."
Speaking of which, Emperor Xuanyuan sighed. "There are even legends that the Xuanyuan Divine Sword contains the incredibly profound Array of Loss, which specializes in slaughter, capable of destroying heavens and earth. It is the most powerful sword formation in existence."
Lin Feng listened, his blood boiling, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is the Array of Loss?"
Emperor Xuanyuan said, "You ask too many questions."
Lin Feng: "..."
"Since you are here to undergo the Xuanyuan Divine Sword's trial, let's not waste any more time."
As soon as his voice fell, the seamless tower wall suddenly rumbled, and a golden great door opened, from which dazzling golden light surged out. A golden staircase extended from top to bottom, and from the highest point of the stairs, a figure emerged step by step from the golden light.
Under the illumination of the dazzling golden light, this figure appeared even more tall and majestic.
He wore golden armor, with long black hair cascading down his back, and his handsome face exuded an emperor's dominance.
Especially his eyes, vast as the stars, seemed capable of seeing through everything in the world.
Dazzling golden light continuously erupted from him, and an invisible aura of dominance instantly made the surrounding air feel thick.
Emperor Xuanyuan!
Is this man the eternal Emperor Xuanyuan?
Lin Feng gazed at the magnificent and towering figure with fervent eyes.
He was one of the greatest ancestors of humanity on the planet Blue Star!
An object of worship and admiration for all Descendants of Yanhuang!
As Emperor Xuanyuan walked step by step towards him, Lin Feng suddenly felt a sense of belonging, like a child returning home and seeing an elder.
Facing this greatest ancestor of humanity, Lin Feng's face involuntarily showed his most sincere reverence.
After a long while, Lin Feng finally came back to his senses and quickly bowed, "This junior, Lin Feng, pays his respects to His Majesty Emperor Xuanyuan!"
Internally, he muttered, "Didn't he die tens of thousands of years ago? Is he a ghost like Xuanyuan Qingtian?"
"I did indeed die tens of thousands of years ago..."
Emperor Xuanyuan glanced at Lin Feng faintly, "But this death is not that death. I did not truly die; like Xuanyuan Qingtian, my soul remains."
"It is the fate of everyone who has used the Xuanyuan Divine Sword that their soul will automatically attach itself to the Xuanyuan Divine Sword after death, becoming its guardian. No one is an exception."
"And the sword you saw outside the Qiankun Divine Palace just now was not the true Xuanyuan Divine Sword, but merely an illusion I simulated with sword energy."
Hearing these words, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a jolt. As expected of Emperor Xuanyuan; he could discern Lin Feng's thoughts at a glance.
Despite his shock, Lin Feng couldn't suppress his curiosity and looked at Emperor Xuanyuan, "Does my appearance here mean I can obtain the true Xuanyuan Divine Sword?"
Emperor Xuanyuan said, "There is certainly a chance, but it depends on whether you have the ability."
Lin Feng quickly asked again, "Then, are you, venerable elder, waiting here specifically for me?"
He was a little excited, after all, Emperor Xuanyuan was the progenitor of human civilization, and meeting him was an immense opportunity.
Emperor Xuanyuan's tone was complex, "Yes and no..."
