Sword Scripture

Sword Gate Mountain, Sword Sect, Sword Pavilion.

Sword Pavilion is where the Sword Sect stores sword manuals and sword techniques. For hundreds of years, disciples of the Sword Sect have traveled to various parts of Dali and stored all the sword manuals they have acquired here.

At this moment, in the Sword Pavilion, Qiuyue, dressed in a sword robe, was kneeling on both knees with her palms facing up, respectfully accepting a Sword Scripture Jian Xuzi handed over by Jian Xuzi.

The Sword Scripture withered and yellowed, exuding an ancient aura. Its material was unknown, as time could not corrode it.

"Jian Xuzi Brother Jianxuzi, the Sword Sect is in such dire straits today because of me. Why don't you hand me over? You can pass on this Sword Scripture to someone else!"

Over the past few days, Qiuyue has learned the whole story. If it weren't for taking her in, Sword Sect would never have suffered such a disaster.

Thinking of the perilous situation Sword Sect tonight, Qiuyue's eyes involuntarily reddened, and she felt extremely ashamed.

Upon hearing Qiuyue's intention to refuse the inheritance, Jian Xuzi angrily shouted, "Sword Child, stop acting like a little girl!"

"Back then, my young friend Ye Jing already made it clear that this matter involved a great deal of trouble, and his intention in having you join the Sword Sect was more to avoid disaster."

"I still dared to take you into the Sword Sect, having already prepared for the worst, and my Senior Sect Master, has no complaints."

Sword Child holds a high position within the Sword Sect, second only to the Sword Sect Master, and his status is no less prestigious than that of the Other Six Sons of the Sword Sect.

Because of their noble status, it is extremely difficult to confer a title upon them. In the three hundred years since the founding of the Sword Sect, no Sword Child has ever been born.

However, Qiuyue's Sword Dao talent, displayed in just half a month after joining the Sword Sect, astonished many of the Sword Sect's Elder. In just half a month, she had already comprehended the eighth sword of the Thirteen Swords of Heavenly Annihilation.

The reason Thirteen Swords of Heavenly Annihilation Qiuyue not due to a lack of talent, but rather because the ninth sword and subsequent sword techniques involve the Sword Dao Principle, which Qiuyue's cultivation level is too low to currently Sword Dao Principle.

But no one ever doubted that as long as Qiuyue's cultivation level improved, the next five swords of the Thirteen Swords of Heavenly Annihilation would simply be a natural progression.

It was precisely because of her astonishing talent in Sword Dao that the Sword Sect Master appointed Qiuyue as Sword Child, and none of the Sword Sect Elder had any objections.

Jian Xuzi helped Qiuyue up, a look of amazement flashing in his eyes, and his face showed excitement, his voice rising a few decibels.

"Everyone knows that my Sword Sect is famous Dali for its Thirteen Swords of Heavenly Annihilation, but they do not know that in addition to obtaining the Thirteen Swords of Heavenly Annihilation from Nameless Swordsman, my Sword Sect Ancestor also obtained another Sword Scripture."

"However, this Sword Scripture is extremely profound. Even a genius like the Sword Sect Ancestor could not comprehend even a trace of its mysteries."

"Sword Child, and you possess Innate Dao Body, with Sword Dao talent far surpassing that of the Sword Sect Ancestor. If you were to master this Sword Scripture, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that you could dominate not only the Dali, but the entire Canglan Domain."

A strange light flashed in Jian Xuzi's eyes, and his face was full of solemnity. "Since ancient times, in the Xuanhuang Heaven and Earth, countless ordinary sects have prospered because of the birth of an unparalleled genius in their sects, and some have even left behind a glorious name in the River of Time."

"Our Sword Sect has dominated Shu Province for three hundred years. During this time, many Sword Dao prodigies have emerged. However, these people, even in the Dali, can be called prodigies. If we look at the entire Canglan Domain, they can barely be considered top-tier talents."

"If we look at the entire Eastern Continent, he's just average; if we look at the entire Xuanhuang Heaven and Earth, he's just another ordinary person."

"But you, Sword Child, are different. Your talent is among the most dazzling in the entire Xuanhuang Heaven and Earth."

"Some ordinary sects recorded in ancient history have flourished and even become famous throughout history because of a peerless genius. Now, this Heavenly Secrets is placed before my Sword Sect. How can my Sword Sect give up?"

"Moreover, this is an era of great strife. Ancient Texts records state that during times of Heaven and Earth Cataclysm, countless freaks and prodigies from ancient history will Su Xing."

"As long as you, Sword Child, can rise to prominence in this era, then my Sword Sect can be passed down for thousands of years or even longer."

"Therefore, Sword Child, you need not feel burdened. Taking you into the Sword Sect is both a matter of greed and a form of exchange."

Qiuyue hesitated, but Jian Xuzi's next words put her mind at ease.

"Sword Child Sect Master Brother has awakened his Innate Wisdom. Although those few are powerful, they are no match for Sect Master Brother."

"I'm only offering you this inheritance today as a precaution, besides, this Sword Scripture manual was originally meant to be passed on to you anyway."

Jian Xuzi spoke with a carefree air, but a hint of worry remained in his eyes, though he concealed it well, Qiuyue couldn't detect it.

The Sect Master's Innate Wisdom awakening was too recent, and he didn't know how to keep those people out of the Sword Sect on his own.

Just as Jian Xuzi sighed inwardly, two sarcastic voices came from the sky outside the Sword Pavilion.

"Your Sword Sect has quite the audacity to gamble the entire sect's future on this girl."

"However, today, this gamble is destined to fail. Today, not only will this woman be unable to be protected, but your Sword Sect will also be crushed by me."

No sooner had he finished speaking than two figures appeared in front of Jian Xuzi.

Both men had dignified appearances and looked about 70% alike. Their clothing was also very similar, except that one had a five-clawed golden dragon embroidered on his body, while the other had a four-clawed dragon embroidered on his body.

"Your Sword Sect's protective sword formation is quite capable. It took me a great deal of effort to finally find a loophole."

The speaker was Prince Long Haoyi, who was dressed in a robe with a four-clawed dragon.

"Sword Child, let's go!"

Upon seeing the two people who suddenly appeared in the Sword Pavilion, Jian Xuzi's expression changed drastically. He immediately pushed Qiuyue aside and rushed towards Long Haoyi alone, wanting to buy some time for Qiuyue to escape.

Upon seeing the two uninvited guests who had suddenly appeared, Qiuyue felt a strong sense of danger and immediately took out a Sword Talisman from her bosom and held it tightly in her hand.

Before she could react, there was a loud 'bang' as Jian Xuzi slammed into a nearby pillar, his aura instantly weakening.

"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, it's utterly overestimating its own strength."

A hint of contempt flashed in Long Haoyi's eyes. He flicked his Dragon Robe lightly, but it slammed down on Jian Xuzi's sword like a heavy mountain.

"Jian Xuzi!!!"

Qiuyue's words were full of worry. Just as she was about to run to Jian Xuzi, Long Haoyi suddenly blocked her way.

Qiuyue quickly calmed down, looked at Long Haoyi in front of her, and said calmly, "I know you came here today for me. I can go with you obediently, but how about you spare Jian Xuzi's life!"

A savage glint flashed in Long Haoyi's eyes as he coldly said, "Release him! How dare a mere ant try to negotiate with me!"

"The Sword Sect Master has imprisoned the thirteenth Imperial Lord of the Dali Li Dynasty in the Dragon Vein Ancient Bed for a hundred years. Today, all Sword Sect Disciples shall die."

"Haoran, hurry! That Sword Sect Master strangely, and the Five Imperial Ancestors seem to be at a slight disadvantage."

Standing to the side, Long Haoran, who had remained silent, sensed something amiss in the battle above and Long Haoyi to hurry up.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Upon Long Haoyi immediately prepared to capture Qiuyue.

Suddenly, a dazzling sword light emanated from Qiuyue's body, seemingly illuminating the entire sky.

Immediately afterwards, the dazzling sword light struck Long Haoyi hard, sending him flying and his body crashing heavily into a pillar.
