Everyone's gaze was fixed on Lin Chuan. Thus, when this slender, translucent longsword appeared, everyone frowned. The sword looked far too ordinary. Though its shape was unique, it bore not the slightest powerful aura and could not compare to an Immortal Artifact at all.
At such a critical moment, what was Lin Chuan's intention in bringing out a sword like this?
However, most people failing to recognize it did not mean that no one did.
The instant Hun saw the longsword, his entire body shuddered. His expression was filled with uncertainty and disbelief, and as he examined it more closely, his face gradually twisted.
"This is... this is that sword... How could it be in Azure Dragon's hands?!"
The moment Zhongchuan Jin saw the longsword, he was completely dumbfounded. Several members of the Central River Imperial Family wore the same expression, hardly daring to believe their eyes.
"That sword... Isn't that the sword the Central River Imperial Family has searched for countless years... How could it be in Azure Dragon's hands..."
Zhongchuan Jin muttered to himself, feeling as though the world had become unreal at that moment, as though none of this was real.
From the time they could remember, the core members of the imperial family had been taught by specialists to identify treasures lost to the cultivation world. These included Immortal Artifacts and cultivation techniques, such as the companion Immortal Artifacts of each continent and the three great Primordial Scriptures.
Yet there was one thing their imperial family had always searched for but never found. They were not even certain whether it truly existed. Nevertheless, it had always been listed among the treasures every imperial family member was required to recognize, and its priority surpassed every other treasure, including the companion Immortal Artifact of the Central River Continent.
