The sun rises and sets.
You can't hide fire in paper, let alone a treasure that's even hotter than fire itself.
These days, the events that happened in the Great Yu Empire have caused quite a stir among the imperial clans.
Some say that a supreme treasure has been discovered deep within the Great Yu Empire, and that even Thearch Realm have appeared to seize it, along with traces of the Holy Spirit Clan.
Some say that many powerful members of the imperial clans were embroiled in a bitter dispute over this matter, and in the end, many imperial clans mobilized. The reason for this is obvious.
Whether it is the greatest treasure or the Holy Spirit, it is wealth that moves people's hearts.
Rumors circulated widely, and those who hadn't yet set off were watching to see if the imperial families could succeed. Whether it was a supreme treasure or Holy Spirit, obtaining either would be beneficial.
However...
More than a month has passed.
Of the powerful members of the imperial clans who entered the imperial mausoleum of the Great Yu Empire, only a very few fled in a panic. No matter how they were questioned, they all kept their mouths shut. In the end, they only revealed one thing.
That means we don't need to wait any longer.
The other imperial clans that didn't emerge... they were all dead!
The crowd was incredulous, as if they had heard a divine scripture.
Of all the powerful members of the imperial clans who entered the Great Yu Empire's imperial mausoleum, only these few survived and escaped?
The rest were all wiped out?!
Nobody knows what really happened. Some say the dead were attacked by a powerful Alien Race, while others say they were blind and offended the Great Emperor of the secret realm...
But no matter what, the imperial clan experts who escaped from the secret realm kept their mouths shut. Whenever the matter of the Great Yu Empire's imperial mausoleum secret realm was mentioned, they all fell silent.
It was as if saying another word would endanger their lives.
Meanwhile, in the secret realm of the imperial tomb.
The ancient sword, covered in rust, showed no signs of being a divine weapon; only when one got close could one vaguely sense its sharpness.
This sword is very ancient.
Time and the years have left indelible marks of erosion on this sword. Lin Xuan held the sword in one hand and sighed softly.
This sword is not Emperor Weapon.
Of course, although it wasn't Emperor Weapon, this sword was still a rare treasure, extremely powerful. The moment he got his hands on it, he vaguely saw a female One Sword cultivator laughing, drinking wine and killing enemies, as carefree as the wind, but it only lasted for a moment.
The swordswoman's attire was unlike that of people today. Her eyes were slightly closed, and her smile lingered. But as if sensing something, she looked straight at him, then smiled with relief, and vanished along with the scenery around her and her wine pouch.
Lin Xuan seemed to be deep in thought.
This sword must have been left behind by an High Antiquity female sword cultivator.
It was used to seal the phoenix's essence, and was corroded by the phoenix's true blood to this day, yet it remained firmly suppressed on the Sword Tomb until Wu Liang pulled it out, thus ending its mission.
This thing is definitely not an ordinary object; it probably holds many secrets. If I have time, I can study it carefully.
Once the research is complete, it will be appropriate to bestow it upon Lianxin...
At that time, he might be able to return a real Emperor Weapon as the base for his Immortal-Slaying Sword Array, greatly increasing its power.
After all, after clearing out everyone in the secret realm, Wu Liang didn't even glance at the sword before deciding its ownership, leaving it to Lin Xuan to do as he pleased.
Anyway, there's no point in him coming, and I'm not interested in it.
For him, absorbing the essence was enough.
Rather than letting this thing gather dust on my own, I'd better give it to the Pavilion Master to make good use of.
Lin Xuan naturally did not refuse, nodding in agreement. Upon seeing the woman's illusory figure, he had already decided who the sword belonged to.
He put the ancient sword back into his Storage Bag and slowly looked into the depths of the secret realm.
The Chongming Bird, with all four eyes closed, perched atop the Sword Tomb, digesting the essence it had swallowed. Its aura was incredibly powerful and pervasive.
In order to absorb this essence, Wu Liang even revealed his true form, showing how much effort he had put in. Lin Xuan estimated that if Wu Liang successfully refined the phoenix essence within his body and completely refined it, he would be able to return to the Thearch Realm, and perhaps even advance further, which would be a truly good thing.
Thinking this, Lin Xuan slightly shifted his gaze to the figure sitting cross-legged with eyes closed beneath the Demon Emperor's enormous true form.
In the secret realm overflowing with Yao Qi energy, that sharp, sword-like aura, though relatively small, was not to be ignored. It was like a sharp sword that pierced through the darkness, unstoppable.
This is naturally Su Lianxin.
She was incredibly lucky in this secret realm; even though she arrived late, she still found her own fortuitous opportunity.
This was because near the Sword Tomb, there was a stone tablet with a sword scripture engraved on the stone wall. The scripture was winding and difficult for ordinary people to understand. Lin Xuan took a look and realized that it was probably left by the owner of the ancient sword.
The sword manual was extraordinary; even Lin Xuan was moved by it. After quickly memorizing its contents, he had Su Lianxin study it.
After undergoing a series of baptisms and the dissipation of spiritual Spiritual Qi, this place has become a small world with extremely abundant Spiritual Qi. Since Su Lianxin's cultivation level is not high, cultivating here will be of great benefit to her.
She did not disappoint Lin Xuan's efforts. The moment she saw the sword scripture, she was completely dazed. In just a moment, she sat cross-legged and fell into a state of enlightenment!
Lin Xuan was naturally very satisfied.
Su Lianxin's current cultivation and Sword Intent are almost at the point of breakthrough and transformation, just one final step away.
How to take that final step is also extremely important.
This is absolutely the best place for seclusion!
Wu Liang and Su Lianxin are both in seclusion here. Moreover, after Wu Liang consumed the Phoenix Essence, the entire small secret realm became entirely under his control. Unless he so desired, no one could bypass him to enter this place.
Even if we find the entrance, it won't work!
After estimating the Spiritual Qi consumption in the secret realm, Lin Xuan made a decision.
He will stay here to cultivate, along with his deputy sect leader and his Direct Disciple.
After all, with the current invasion of Alien Race, the situation is extremely dire.
The attacks from the Alien Race were becoming more and more frequent. Lin Xuan's eyes darkened slightly as he thought of the Your Highness Sixty-Three, who was also his clone.
On the Sixty- Your Highness Sixty-Three Your Highness Sixty-Three's side, the undercover agent among the Alien Race hasn't run into any problems, but judging from the various pieces of information he's received...
The Profound Domain is likely becoming increasingly dangerous.
Now, only strong capabilities can cope with various unknown risks.
Even Lin Xuan needs to go into seclusion to improve his strength.
After glancing at Su Lianxin, who was studying the sword scripture, Lin Xuan sat down a little further away from her to avoid competing for Spiritual Qi. He recalled the inscription on the stone tablet, closed his eyes, and began his secluded cultivation.
