Sword World
Whoosh—
Everyone immediately became excited, their faces flushed, and they were extremely thrilled.
Many people risk their Nine Deaths, One Life to enter this Ancient Secret Realm, hoping to obtain the legacy of the Overlord Emperor and his famous sword technique— the Life and Death Sword.
Now that this tradition is finally about to begin, how could they not be excited?
The aged voice continued, "Everyone, please pay attention. There are eighty-one grooves on the gate to the Secret Realm. You must collect all eighty-one tokens to fill in as keys."
In addition, the two eyes of the Yin-Yang Fish in the middle need to be filled with Seven-Colored Spirit Pearls. Only when all of these are in place can the portal be opened.
Only those who obtain these items are qualified to enter the Secret Realm and obtain their own opportunities!
The Overlord Emperor's swordsmanship will be passed down to those with the right destiny!
The crowd below immediately erupted into a frenzy of discussion.
Those who won the lottery card suppressed their excitement, clenched their fists, and kept encouraging themselves.
I must inherit the yogi tradition!
Those who didn't get the koji card started wailing and lamenting.
Many people shouted, "It's not fair! This is absolutely unfair! We went through so much hardship and Nine Deaths, One Life to get here, only to be blocked at the door!"
Why are we being treated this way?
This is discrimination, a blatant Trample and harm!
This is disrespectful to us!
Some people even squatted on the ground, covered their faces with their hands, and cried loudly.
What did Gui Zhiyu and the others go through during this time?
They came full of hope, only to be dealt a cruel blow!
Why can't we let them go in and receive the inheritance? Why not give them a chance?
Looking at the Bronze Gate in front of them, behind which lay a tremendous opportunity, they were blocked by this cold door. How could they accept this?
Some people with weak minds broke down.
The Longsword floated in the air, devoid of any emotion, and the voice remained indifferent.
"Gentlemen, don't feel it's unfair. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared and capable."
Yes, luck is also a part of ability.
"A total of 83 people were able to enter the Overlord's Secret Realm to receive the inheritance. Those who obtained the token and the spirit pearl, please take out the items."
The rest of you, step back. Don't even think about taking advantage of the chaos or trying to slip through. Before the Emperor's sword Clone, all your efforts will be in vain.
If anyone dares to break the rules, the sword won't hesitate to sever their head.
The restless crowd below suddenly fell silent, as if a pause button had been pressed, and the scene became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The scene of this sword killing the Immortal Emperor's Clone had shocked and terrified them.
After a moment of silence, perhaps because the Overlord Emperor's will couldn't bear to see the disappointment on these people's faces, his voice softened a little.
"Everyone, this Ancient Secret Realm has many opportunities and treasures waiting for you to discover."
The Overlord Emperor's Legacy is not unique; there are even more extraordinary things hidden somewhere, waiting for the destined one.
Everyone without a key, please leave. Don't waste your time here; perhaps you'll become the bigger winner in the next moment!
Holy crap!
Hua Qiang couldn't help but sigh to himself, how come this sword is so good at giving people inspirational quotes?
This Overlord Emperor is definitely capable of building a massive force, after all, his ability to motivate people is not something that ordinary people can learn.
With that kind of eloquence, wouldn't he be able to fool a bunch of people into following him around and working for him hand in hand?
Hua Sijun stopped petting the Peacock King, glanced at the sword in the air, and said in a childish voice, "Daddy, that sword grandpa is very good at fooling people!"
Hua Qiang felt his heart skip a beat and thought to himself, "Daughter, you should just keep those words to yourself. Why did you have to say them out loud?"
If that sword heard this, it would be unhappy...
However, just as the thought crossed his mind, the sword suddenly trembled, and a trace of malevolent energy erupted from its blade, the target of which was Hua Qiang and his daughter.
The Peacock King, perched on Hua Qiang's shoulder, felt every pore on his body stand on end, and several feathers even stood up, gleaming and ready to pounce.
But then Hua Xiaoyao coolly remarked, "This Overlord Emperor's Clone is actually a sword. Luckily, the sword is gray; if it were silver..."
Before Hua Xiaoyao could finish speaking, Hua Sijun interrupted him.
"Brother, are you trying to say that Grandpa Jian is a pervert?"
Those who were originally close to Hua Qiang and his family of three suddenly changed their expressions and quickly moved aside, clearing a space for the family of three to stand there awkwardly.
The Longsword, which had been hovering calmly in the air, trembled slightly, and the murderous aura it emitted became even stronger.
But then the sword returned to its calm state, turned around, and stopped looking at the family.
Luckily, it was a sword; if it were a person, it would probably be so angry it would vomit blood.
"Everyone, take out the tokens you obtained, and the Seven-Colored Spirit Pearls!"
As the Longsword spoke, wooden or bronze plaques appeared on many people's bodies. The Longsword trembled, and strands of green silk connected the plaques.
Hua Qiang had four in his hand.
Longsword glanced at Hua Qiang's family of three in surprise, then looked at Peacock King, and his body trembled again.
With a whoosh, all the plaques flew up out of thin air and embedded themselves into the grooves of the bronze gate.
After all the plaques were put back in place, the bronze gate only trembled once, but did not move again.
Upon closer inspection, everyone frowned, because one of the 81 grooves on the Eight Trigrams Diagram was empty, and a bead was missing from the position of the two eyes of the Yin-Yang Fish.
This immediately stirred up a crowd. Without these two things, the Bronze Gate wouldn't open, and they wouldn't be able to get in.
The aged voice continued to echo from the air.
Two items are missing from the Secret Realm gate. If we can't gather them all, the Secret Realm can't be opened. It seems the Overlord's legacy will have to slip through our fingers. What a pity!
Just then, a thin and disheveled figure darted over and weakly said, "I still have some here!"
He held up a bronze plaque, along with a bead that shimmered with seven colors.
I wonder if this spirit orb is a quest item?
The Longsword trembled, and two silk threads rushed out, connecting the token and the spirit pearl, before quickly retracting.
Soon, the empty slot and the blackfish's eye were filled with these two items.
Suddenly, the bronze gate burst forth with a dazzling light, enveloping everyone inside. The next moment, they all vanished from the spot.
Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and then they entered a gray, hazy space.
The space was filled with a strong metallic and bloody aura, and many swords flew around in the sky, as if one had entered a world of swords.
