Supreme Sword Body, Terrifying Sword Intent!

Lu Chen hummed a little tune as he returned to Yuan Xiu Palace, only to see his mother lowering her head, doing needlework and preparing winter clothes for him.

Although the food, clothing, and daily necessities for the consorts and princes in the palace were all handled by the inner court, Consort Yuan felt that only clothes sewn by her own hands would be warmer for her son.

Seeing this scene, a hint of warmth involuntarily appeared on Lu Chen's face.

Since he was reborn into this world, from birth until now.

This was the only woman who sincerely loved and cared for him.

Although to Lu Chen, a transmigrator, Consort Yuan was technically a "cheap mother."

But this woman's love for him was real. Even if Lu Chen's heart were made of iron, it would have long since been warmed.

"Chen'er is back. Are you hungry? I have some snacks here, have a little."

Seeing Lu Chen, Consort Yuan smiled dotingly as she spoke.

"Mother!"

Lu Chen went to Consort Yuan's side and hugged her arm.

"Mother, tomorrow is the test for physique, root foundation, and comprehension. Chen'er will definitely work hard to let everyone in the palace, and Father Emperor, see me. I will work even harder to cultivate and become stronger. With me around in the future, no one will be able to look down on Mother!"

Lu Chen said sincerely.

Consort Yuan heard this and was stunned for a moment. Then, with tears in her eyes, she tightly hugged Lu Chen, a smile of relief and happiness on her face.

"Chen'er, as long as you are well, that's all that matters to Mother!"

[Congratulations. You have completed the task and made your mother smile sincerely.]

[Congratulations, you have obtained the Supreme Sword Body!]

At this moment, a voice that only Lu Chen could hear sounded in his ear again.

And with this voice, a terrifying Sword Intent suddenly erupted from Lu Chen's body.

In that instant, countless swords in the entire imperial palace let out a synchronized, excited hum for a second.

It was a very short moment and didn't attract much attention.

In the Zhongji Hall, the Azure Emperor, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at the Azure Emperor Sword, his supreme treasure that had followed him through dozens of battles, inexplicably humming. The Azure Emperor frowned slightly.

"Strange, there have been two anomalies today. Most importantly, I couldn't even sense them. What exactly is happening in my imperial palace?"

The Azure Emperor murmured to himself.

"Shadow One!"

Then, the Azure Emperor suddenly spoke.

Behind the Azure Emperor, where there was originally no one, a low, hoarse voice suddenly appeared.

"Yes!"

"Send a few Shadows to observe the Luo family's little girl and the Eleventh Prince more closely!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The hoarse voice disappeared, and the Azure Emperor closed his eyes again to cultivate.

The next moment, a phantom of the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon circled around the Azure Emperor, roaring.

At this moment, the Azure Emperor was like the lord of heaven and earth, with the power of heaven and earth surging with every breath.

The Azure Emperor also unleashed a power far exceeding that of a Land Immortal.

In Yuan Xiu Palace, back in his room, Lu Chen dismissed the palace maids and began to comprehend the power of his Land Immortal realm and the detailed attributes of the Supreme Sword Body.

[Supreme Sword Body: A supreme physique for the Sword Dao. With the Supreme Sword Body, comprehending Sword Dao divine abilities will have no bottlenecks, allowing one to directly reach the pinnacle of the Sword Dao and become a generation's Sword Immortal. It can also summon all swords in heaven and earth to sing in unison. When facing Sword Dao attacks from enemies, swords will be drawn to you, and Sword Dao power will be automatically weakened by one-third!]

"Terrifying, utterly terrifying!"

Looking at the attributes of the Supreme Sword Body on the transparent panel before him, a look of pleasant surprise appeared in Lu Chen's eyes.

Imagine himself flying on a sword, with a wave of his hand, ten thousand swords behind him launching towards the enemy, like a generation's Sword Immortal!

Unfortunately, at this moment, he had no cultivation methods or Sword Dao martial skills.

He had a mountain of gold but no way to use it!

Lu Chen lowered his head in thought.

If his guess was correct, after tomorrow's test of physique, root foundation, and comprehension, he would be able to receive an Earth Tier cultivation method and an Earth Tier martial skill.

This was standard for a prince.

In this fantasy world, as far as Lu Chen knew, the ranking of martial skills, cultivation methods, and divine weapons from highest to lowest was the Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow tiers, with the lowest being the fifth tier, "unranked"!

An Earth Tier cultivation method or martial skill was already enough to drive countless cultivators into a frenzy, causing bloodshed and chaos.

At this moment, Lu Chen was somewhat looking forward to tomorrow's physique and comprehension test.

However, just then, Lu Chen frowned slightly, his gaze shifting slightly towards the outside of the room.

As a powerful expert in the Land Immortal realm, Lu Chen could sense the presence of someone in the King Realm outside.

Lu Chen rubbed his temples, feeling a slight headache.

It's a given that the King Realm experts in the palace are loyal to the Emperor.

It seems the commotion I inadvertently caused when breaking through to the Land Immortal realm has indeed alerted the Azure Emperor.

I just don't know how long he'll be observing me.

If it's only for a short while, that's fine.

But if it's for a long time, I'll have to find a way to get rid of him.

And at this moment, in Prince Xuan's palace, the Second Prince's residence!

The Seventh Prince, Lu Ren, looked at his full brother, the Second Prince, Lu Xuan, with a pale face.

Lu Xuan was dressed in purple robes, exuding a refined aura. His face habitually wore a smile, and he possessed an air of scholarly elegance and Vast Expanse Qi. Standing there, he naturally inspired a sense of goodwill in others!

The Second Prince was already twenty-one years old and considered a genius of his generation.

At only twenty-one, he had already reached the King Realm, possessed the Vast Expanse Physique, cultivated the Vast Expanse Qi, and was even accepted as a personal disciple by Shu Changqi, the dean of the Great Qian Divine Dynasty's Haoran Academy and a Heavenly Phenomenon Realm expert.

Having come of age, Lu Xuan had been enfeoffed as Prince Xuan by the Azure Emperor. However, for reasons unknown, Lu Xuan had not left the palace to establish his own residence and had remained within its walls.

Just then, Lu Xuan looked at his brother's pale and trembling face, and the smile that had been on his lips instantly turned grim.

"What's going on? How can a prince lose composure like this? What will people think if they see you like this?"

"Imperial Brother, you don't know, I encountered Little Eleventh. Facing him, I felt like I was facing Father Emperor. I didn't even dare to look him in the eye!"

Lu Ren's face was still pale, his heart filled with lingering fear.

"What are you saying? Little Eleventh is not even six years old, a mere child who hasn't even begun cultivating. To be scared into such a state by him, and you're already at the Half-step Grandmaster Realm,"

Lu Xuan scoffed upon hearing this, looking at his brother with a hint of helplessness.

"Imperial Brother, believe me, I would never lie to you."

Lu Ren said, his face etched with bitterness.

Seeing his brother's pale face and earnest expression, Lu Xuan pondered for a moment before letting out a long sigh.

"You'll be enfeoffed as a prince in two years. Cultivate diligently during these two years and strive to leave a good impression on Father Emperor. I'll go and see Little Eleventh now to see if he's truly as you say. You can come with me!"

Lu Xuan shook his head and then walked out of Prince Xuan's palace.

"Go with you, I... alright!"

Lu Ren heard Lu Xuan invite him to see Lu Chen. Coupled with the involuntary look of fear that flashed across his face, he hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and nodding.

[Congratulations, you have successfully made your mother show a hint of a smile. This also slightly compensates for the pain your mother has endured these past few decades. However, the main culprits for your mother being banished to the cold palace and you and your companions being placed under house arrest are the Second Prince, the Seventh Prince, and their mother, Consort Ling. Therefore, revenge is inevitable!]

[Quest Issued: Currently, the Seventh Prince Lu Ren has been enfeoffed as a King of Equal Rank and has reached the Emperor Realm. However, you are now at the Land Immortal realm and are absolutely not weaker than him. At this moment, you need to beat Lu Ren up and collect some interest!]

[Quest Reward: Nine-Colored Spirit Root!]

Seeing the text appear on the semi-transparent panel before him, Lu Chen's face lit up with joy.

A Nine-Colored Spirit Root!

One must know that the fundamental factor determining the speed of a cultivator's progress is their Spirit Root. The higher the level of the Spirit Root, the faster one cultivates!

Spirit Roots are also known as Root Foundations, ranging from the lowest One-Colored Spirit Root to the highest Nine-Colored Spirit Root!

Generally speaking, common Spirit Roots are around Three-Colored.

Possessing a Six-Colored Spirit Root is already considered genius, and with no accidents, one can easily reach the King Realm!

As for Seven-Colored and Eight-Colored Spirit Roots, each one represents a peerless prodigy of their generation.

They have the potential to impact the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, or even the Land Immortal Realm.

Legend has it that the Azure Emperor himself possessed a legendary Eight-Colored Spirit Root, making his cultivation progress twice as fast.

As for the Nine-Colored Spirit Root, it is only mentioned in records throughout the Eastern Cang Region, but there seems to have never been a supreme being who possessed a Nine-Colored Spirit Root.

Lu Chen was incredibly excited at this moment.

The legendary Nine-Colored Spirit Root, he had to have it!

However, just then, Lu Chen's gaze shifted.

He noticed that the King Realm aura outside the door had disappeared. Lu Chen understood that this figure couldn't possibly be watching him constantly.

In other words, a nobody like him wasn't worth the Azure Emperor's continuous surveillance.

Shaking his head helplessly, Lu Chen looked out the window. It was around six o'clock in the evening, and the sun was about to set.

The brilliant sunset seemed to have draped the sky in a magnificent, colorful garment.

Lu Chen walked out of his room. At this moment, his ears twitched, and he detected two figures approaching his Yuan Xiu Palace from a thousand meters away.

As a Land Immortal, Lu Chen's divine sense could cover a radius of ten thousand miles, so he could easily detect the presence of Lu Xuan and Lu Ren from a thousand meters away.

"Second Prince, Lu Xuan, Seventh Prince, Lu Ren!"

Seeing the two of them, Lu Chen narrowed his eyes, a hint of killing intent flashing within them.

"The Counterattack System has issued a quest for me to beat up Lu Ren. I hadn't even planned to go find them yet, and here they are, coming to my doorstep."

Lu Chen let out a cold snort, then walked out of Yuan Xiu Palace alone, heading in their direction.

Lu Chen didn't want to involve his mother in certain matters, and it would be more convenient for him to act outside of Yuan Xiu Palace.

Ahead of Lu Chen, Lu Xuan, with a smiling face, stood in stark contrast to Lu Ren beside him, whose face was filled with resentment.

"Do as I say in a moment, understand? Remember, hold back. It doesn't matter if you injure Lu Chen, but you absolutely cannot kill him, or it will cause trouble."

Lu Xuan turned his head and spoke words of encouragement to Lu Ren.

"Brother, why don't you do it? I don't dare to attack that monstrous prodigy."

Lu Ren clutched his treasured sword, his face a mask of misery.

"Useless! You're a half-step Grandmaster, and he's just a brat who hasn't even started cultivating. And you're afraid of him? If you don't act this time, don't ever claim to be my brother again."

A look of disdain flickered deep within Lu Xuan's eyes.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ren gritted his teeth fiercely and tightly gripped the treasured sword in his hand!
