However, none of these were major problems. Lu Chen did not like them.
There were around fifty or sixty Heavenly Grade divine abilities—not many.
Lu Chen quickly looked through them all.
Standing where he was, Lu Chen pondered carefully. Before long, he came to a jade pendant and picked it up.
Beneath the jade pendant was a detailed introduction to the divine ability contained within it.
Sword Drawing Heaven Severing Art: a Heavenly Grade high-tier divine ability. It originally came from the supreme cultivation method of the ancient swordsmanship sect known as the Heaven Severing Sect, which had existed ten thousand years ago. The Heaven Severing Sect had perished for complicated reasons, and the Sword Drawing Heaven Severing Art had been lost among the people for ten thousand years. In the end, it was obtained by the founding emperor of the Great Qian Empire.
The Sword Drawing Heaven Severing Art had only one move, but that single move could sever the heavens and annihilate an enemy. It was an invincible swordsmanship divine ability capable of killing in an instant. However, because the Sword Drawing Heaven Severing Art was far too overbearing, it placed extremely demanding requirements on the user's constitution. Anyone without a terrifying swordsmanship constitution who cultivated this divine ability might be devoured by its sword qi and die!
The Sword Drawing Heaven Severing Art sounded overwhelmingly domineering just from its name.
It suited Lu Chen perfectly. It would be absolutely perfect for showing off.
Most importantly, the Sword Drawing Heaven Severing Art was perfectly suited to him.
Its special requirement was a terrifying swordsmanship aptitude.
And he possessed the Supreme Sword Body.
Was there anyone more suitable to cultivate the Sword Drawing Heaven Severing Art than him?
With that thought, Lu Chen picked up the jade pendant containing the Sword Drawing Heaven Severing Art, left the Scripture Repository, and headed toward the Sword Hiding Hall.
The moment he entered the Sword Hiding Hall, dazzling rays of treasure light shot in every direction.
Lu Chen did not hesitate and headed straight for the Heavenly Grade Supreme Treasure section.
His principle was simple: expensive was all that mattered, not suitability.
The Heavenly Grade Supreme Treasure section.
There were countless weapons of every kind—sabers, spears, swords, and halberds—as well as various spirit fruits, pills, and even the blood of powerful experts and demons.
Lu Chen did not have any particular need for these treasures.
He simply looked through them one by one.
However, when Lu Chen saw a fist-sized piece of yellow metal, he stopped in his tracks.
Primordial Beginning Dao Gold: a Heavenly Grade top-tier metal produced in the Supreme Secret Realm of the Southern Phoenix Domain. When Primordial Beginning Dao Gold was fused into a weapon or spiritual treasure of any grade, it could directly raise that treasure by one grade!
"Primordial Beginning Dao Gold!"
Lu Chen's eyes shone when he saw this supreme treasure.
Regardless of the grade of the supreme treasure into which Primordial Beginning Dao Gold was fused, it could raise it by one grade.
His Sky-Shaking Wandering Dragon Sword was a Heavenly Grade top-tier supreme treasure, after all.
If he fused it with Primordial Beginning Dao Gold, would it not directly become an Immortal Grade supreme treasure?
At that thought, Lu Chen did not hesitate and immediately picked up the Primordial Beginning Dao Gold.
Then, without the slightest reluctance, he walked straight out of the Royal Treasury.
"Grandpa, I took a piece of Primordial Beginning Dao Gold and one divine ability—the Sword Drawing Heaven Severing Art!"
Seeing the old man at the entrance of the Royal Treasury, Lu Chen spoke with an innocent smile.
"Hmm. These two treasures?"
"Mm, all right. Go on, child!"
To Lu Chen's surprise, the old man simply waved his hand and told him to leave.
He had thought he would have to go through some troublesome formalities.
After obtaining two treasures that suited him perfectly, Lu Chen hummed a little tune and headed straight for the Cloud Palace.
At this hour, the Azure Emperor should have been in the Cloud Palace discussing matters with several important ministers.
Eighteen Imperial Guards in silver armor stood watch at the entrance of the Cloud Palace, each at the Great Grandmaster realm.
Lu Chen took out the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant, and the Imperial Guards all bowed respectfully.
Lu Chen then entered the Cloud Palace directly.
However, the moment Lu Chen stepped into the Cloud Palace, he heard the shocked voice of Duke of Zhenguo Luo Zhenshan from within.
"What? Your Majesty, Luo Li is not even six years old! Spare me, please. She is my only precious daughter!"
"What? Do you think Little Eleventh is not worthy of your daughter?"
It was the Azure Emperor's deep voice.
"Your Majesty, you know that is not what I meant. They are simply too young."
"It is not as if they are getting married. We are only setting an engagement."
"Your Majesty, I will say this plainly: even if I, Luo Zhenshan, die, I will never agree to this."
Lu Chen finally understood.
So Imperial Father was currently arguing with Luo Li's father.
However, judging from the situation, his future father-in-law did not seem particularly satisfied with him.
With that thought, Lu Chen walked straight in.
"Oh, Little Eleventh is here. Come, come, come over quickly and call him Father-in-law."
The Azure Emperor's eyes lit up when he saw Lu Chen, and he hurriedly waved him over.
Lu Chen obediently went to the Azure Emperor's side and called Luo Zhenshan "Father-in-law."
As soon as those words fell, Luo Zhenshan helplessly pressed a hand to his forehead.
"Eleventh Prince..."
"Little Eleventh, show him your constitution."
Luo Zhenshan was about to say something, but the Azure Emperor interrupted him.
The Azure Emperor looked at Lu Chen.
As his voice fell, terrifying sword qi suddenly erupted from Lu Chen's body.
Under this sword qi, the precious saber at Luo Zhenshan's waist let out a mournful cry.
"Hm?"
Feeling this, Luo Zhenshan's expression changed drastically. His eyes narrowed as he stared fixedly at Lu Chen, shock spreading across his face.
"This is..."
"The Supreme Sword Body—the supreme constitution of the Sword Dao."
Seeing Luo Zhenshan's shocked expression, the Azure Emperor smiled and spoke with considerable pride.
"Now, what do you think about Little Eleventh and Little Luo..."
After a pause, the Azure Emperor looked at Luo Zhenshan with a beaming smile.
"Your Majesty, Little Eleventh truly possesses heaven-defying talent, and his future cultivation path will soar to the heavens. But they really are too young."
Luo Zhenshan hesitated, but in the end, he still spoke with a bitter smile.
"Little Eleventh possesses not only the Supreme Sword Body, but also the Nine-Colored Spirit Root."
At these words, the Azure Emperor dropped another heavy bombshell.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Zhenshan sprang to his feet and stared at Lu Chen in disbelief.
"The Nine-Colored Spirit Root that exists only in legends, but has never appeared before?"
Luo Zhenshan's voice trembled slightly.
"That's right!"
The smile on the Azure Emperor's face grew even wider, and he continued.
"Old Luo, now what do you think about Little Eleventh and Little Luo Li..."
"Your Majesty, why not wait a few years?"
Luo Zhenshan stared at Lu Chen with shining eyes. However, when he heard the question again, he wavered, though he was still somewhat unwilling.
"You know about my Lu family's Nine Revolutions Azure Dragon Art, don't you?"
Hearing this, the Azure Emperor remained calm and spoke unhurriedly.
"Of course I do. It is a Heavenly Grade top-tier cultivation method—the royal inheritance cultivation method."
Luo Zhenshan replied.
"Just a few days ago, Little Eleventh used one hour to directly cultivate the first revolution of the Nine Revolutions Azure Dragon Art. In terms of comprehension, Little Eleventh's talent is unparalleled in this age. My son, Lu Chen, absolutely possesses the makings of a Great Emperor."
"What?"
Another heavy bombshell exploded, leaving Luo Zhenshan completely stunned.
Looking at Lu Chen ahead of him with trembling hands, Luo Zhenshan came to his senses, burst into loud laughter, grabbed Lu Chen's hand, and pulled him to his side.
"Your Highness—ah, no. My good son-in-law, how about we settle the childhood engagement today?"
