What had happened in the Sword Ruins of Creation soon spread throughout the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
Almost everyone knew that two young Supremes had emerged in the Cold Moon Holy Dynasty, but the grudge between them had utterly disgraced the dynasty.
Fairy Yu had had her Supreme Sword Bone dug out by Han Ziyan in childhood. Yet rather than fading into obscurity, she had risen through adversity, been reborn from nirvana, and unearthed an even greater talent for the sword, displaying potential even more astonishing than Han Ziyan's.
Han Yuyao's ordeal ignited the fighting spirit of countless cultivators. If she could rise through adversity even after her Supreme Sword Bone had been dug out, their current troubles truly amounted to nothing compared to hers.
With Han Yuyao's real name exposed, many factions tried to use it to deduce her current background, but they still came away empty-handed.
They knew only a name, with absolutely no idea which faction she came from, or even what her aptitude was.
So far, all anyone knew was that her attainments in the sword were extremely high. They knew nothing else.
Han Yuyao placed immense pressure on the many factions, which began cultivating new talents with drums beating and gongs sounding, hoping to establish foundations that would endure for ten thousand generations in this golden age of emerging prodigies.
Moreover, the Chaos Sword Sea Han Yuyao had left in the Mortal Realm Sword Ruins, which had drawn ten thousand swords to pay homage, held an irresistible attraction for countless sword cultivators.
Countless sword prodigies came to the vicinity of the Chaos Sword Sea, including no shortage of holy sons and holy maidens from the great holy lands.
When Han Yuyao had created something with Sword Intent, she had drawn thousands upon thousands of strands of Immortal Sword Intent to pay homage, shaking the world. As long as they unraveled her Chaos Sword Sea, they could naturally step on her to make their names throughout the myriad worlds.
However, once they saw the Chaos Sword Sea with their own eyes, they quietly abandoned any thought of unraveling it, one after another.
The Chaos Sword Sea held myriad phenomena and endless transformations, leaving them unable even to entertain the thought of unraveling it.
Many sword cultivators chose to contemplate the sword near the Chaos Sword Sea, cross-referencing it with their own paths of the sword, and all gained something to varying degrees.
Of course, there were also sword prodigies who considered themselves exceptionally gifted and tried to forcibly unravel the Chaos Sword Sea to make their names. Yet all were defeated just as they began, their souls severely injured.
Clear Void Peak, Purple Firmament Holy Land.
As Han Yuyao's consciousness returned, boundless Sword Intent emerged from the depths of her heart. Vast quantities of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi converged into her body, rapidly transforming into her cultivation, while the presence emanating from her climbed swiftly.
Moreover, after Han Yuyao created the Chaos Sword Sea, it constantly absorbed the mighty power of the sword within the Sword Ruins of Creation, causing her cultivation to transform at every moment.
Although a single strand of Immortal Sword Intent had a negligible effect on Han Yuyao, thousands upon thousands of them gathered together still greatly benefited her comprehension of the sword.
Time hurried past like flowing water, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
"Hum!"
A faint hum of the Great Dao suddenly rang out within Han Yuyao. Dazzling light shone between her brows, where a dreamlike Life Palace flickered in and out of view.
"Whoosh!"
A tiny golden figure about an inch tall flashed out of the Life Palace between Han Yuyao's brows. Its features were identical to hers, and it radiated an immortal spirituality, as though it could endure in the world forever.
A True Spirit!
Through her accumulation in the Mortal Realm Sword Ruins, Han Yuyao's attainments in the sword had reached an unimaginable level. After devouring vast quantities of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi on Clear Void Peak, she broke through to the True Spirit Realm in one stroke!
The True Spirit Realm required a True Spirit to be born within the Life Palace.
Once born, a True Spirit could commune with heaven and earth, manifesting all manner of inconceivable natural phenomena.
Even if one met an unfortunate death, as long as a trace of True Spirit remained, there was a possibility of coming back to life!
Han Yuyao's True Spirit returned to the Life Palace between her brows. With a slight stir of her mind, an ocean of Sword Qi shrouded in chaotic mist appeared around her.
True dragons and fire phoenixes roamed the sword sea, the sun, moon, and stars shone within it, thunderclouds and storms flickered in and out of view, and rivers, lakes, and seas surged mightily...
The Chaos Sword Sea!
Before Han Yuyao had broken through to the True Spirit Realm, she could only manifest a Chaos Sword Sea like this within the Mortal Realm Sword Ruins.
Now, by using her True Spirit to commune with the power of heaven and earth, Han Yuyao could manifest it even in the real world!
My comprehension of Sword Intent has already reached the peak of the ninth level of the Mortal Realm. There would be little point in entering the Sword Ruins of Creation again. To break through, I still need some kind of opportunity.
Han Yuyao withdrew her awareness and pondered to herself for a while. Suddenly, a thought stirred, and she looked into the distance.
Right, Master once said that true disciples of the Purple Firmament Holy Land must complete at least one trial mission every year. Since I have nothing else to do, I might as well visit Purple Empyrean Main Peak.
Han Yuyao concealed the Dao resonance and presence of her Chaos Sword Physique, releasing only the presence of the True Spirit Realm. She rode her sword into the air and drifted gracefully toward Purple Empyrean Main Peak.
Green Yang City.
This was an extremely ordinary, remote little city, a full three to four hundred thousand li from the Purple Firmament Holy Land. There were no particularly valuable cultivation resources around Green Yang City, and its overall level of cultivation was low.
Jiang Chen arrived gracefully outside a sprawling residence that looked rather imposing. Two large characters were carved into the plaque above it: "Ye Residence!"
Over this period, Jiang Chen had used the perceptions of his Golden Eyes of Fortune to search most of the area within several hundred thousand li of the Purple Firmament Holy Land. At last, in this remote little city, he had sensed signs of a child of fortune.
Just as Jiang Chen was about to approach the entrance, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.
[Detected that the host's disciple Han Yuyao has broken through to the True Spirit Realm. Fortune feedback granted. Congratulations to the host on obtaining fifty years of cultivation! Congratulations to the host on obtaining the Chaos Azure Lotus (seedling)!]
Jiang Chen immediately felt his cultivation surge, reaching the peak of the Emperor realm.
As expected of fortune feedback from a child of fortune. Truly terrifying!
This was much faster than cultivating on his own!
Compared with those fifty years of cultivation, Jiang Chen was more interested in the Chaos Azure Lotus!
Chaos Azure Lotus (seedling): A world-creating azure lotus nurtured within endless chaos, containing boundless creation. The Dao resonance it emits offers endless benefits to any living being. It can absorb the power of fortune to grow. Currently a newly formed seedling. Once mature, its flowers, leaves, roots, stems, and other parts will all possess inconceivable great divine abilities.
Jiang Chen's consciousness settled on the Chaos Azure Lotus deep within his mind. He used the tribulation power of his Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Physique to conceal its presence before examining it closely.
The azure lotus was about a foot across, illusory and hazy, with twelve lotus leaves of varying sizes and a blossom of twenty-four petals. Five crystal-clear lotus seeds rested at its heart, and a mysterious, unfathomable chaos Dao resonance suffused it.
This was the legendary Chaos Azure Lotus!
The God-Slaying Spear, the Azure Lotus of Creation, the World-Destroying Black Lotus, the Golden Lotus of Merit, the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, the World-Purifying White Lotus, the Five Innate Directional Flags...
If he could nurture it to maturity, could these treasures from primordial mythology reappear in the world?
Of course, the might of the complete Chaos Azure Lotus was even more unimaginable.
A brilliant gleam shone in Jiang Chen's eyes. The current Chaos Azure Lotus was merely a newly formed seedling and needed to absorb endless power of fortune to grow. Who knew in what year or month it would mature?
To make the Chaos Azure Lotus mature as soon as possible, he needed to find more children of fortune!
There happened to be one in the residence right before him!
Jiang Chen collected his thoughts, merged into the void, and entered the Ye Residence directly.
