"So that was it..."
Chu Kuangren looked at the Crystal Long Sword in the air, understanding dawning on his face.

"The Human Ancestor's methods were truly brilliant."
"If I hadn't possessed the Heart of Myriad Artifacts and controlled all nine treasures simultaneously, causing the power of this Sword Ancestor to resonate, this secret probably wouldn't have been discovered even if all nine treasures were gathered, since they would have had different wielders."

Yet Chu Kuangren could sense the immense power
