Primordial Divine Emperor

Chapter 539 - 243: Godslaying Sword, Southern Sword Great Emperor, Royal Race Celestial Secret Pavilion, Earth-Shattering Secrets (Part 4)

They kept silent about the matter of accompanying the emperor on the expedition, not revealing a word, and made only a few sparse records. It seemed as if they had suffered some fatal mental blow, their eyes vacant, as though they had lost all hope in the world, with no more light in their eyes.

However, there are no walls that do not let the wind through, and eventually, many rumors spread. It was said that the army of the Nanming Dynasty was unbeatable, advancing triumphantly under the leadership of the Southern Sword Great Emperor, once reaching the end of the Eastern Wilderness, battling to the edge of a continent. Yet no one knew what they truly experienced, ultimately stopping at the end.

And as time passed, after the teachers of the Great Emperor from endless ages ago were all buried in the yellow soil, the event of the emperor’s expedition that year also became a deep mystery buried in the annals of time, covering that war with a veil of extreme strangeness and mystery.

This veil might still have some tracing evidence within the Royal Race, yet no ancient texts recorded anything that leaked out.

However, among the folks of the Nanming Dynasty, there was a legend that when a second world-shocking individual who passed the Godslaying Sword’s ’Two-Sword Test’ was born, perhaps all the secrets of those years would be revealed, and the Royal Race would announce it to the world.

There were even rumors that the second Great Emperor of the Human Race to pass the ’Two-Sword Test’ would be the one to lead the entire Nanming Dynasty into battle again, setting off an unprecedented new Chapter in history.

Yet endless ages passed, and before the Godslaying Sword, the ’Two-Sword Test’ still had not manifested.

Now, Ye Xiaofan, as the foremost talent among the uncanny geniuses of the present Western Jin, naturally attracted everyone’s attention, leaving people curious if the miracle of the ’Two-Sword Test’ would emerge.

Everyone suddenly found their breathing slightly rapid, even though they felt it was unlikely that person could take the Godslaying Sword or even believe he could pass the ’Two-Sword Test,’ yet they still felt parched.

The reason for the dryness of the mouth was not because that person was about to start the Godslaying Sword test but because of the ancient rumors of the Nanming Dynasty.

Little did they know, at the fork between the countless new-age uncanny geniuses in the Hundred Broken Mountain Range who were breathing slightly rapid, a figure among the fellow brothers and sisters of the Divine Sword Sect unconsciously stepped forward.

It was evident that the legend about the Nanming Dynasty stirred many people’s hearts.

And this figure was none other than, if the unparalleled Array Dao genius in the ’Border City Battle Domain’ of yesteryear were here, they would recognize at a glance.

This person was none other than the world-shocking presence that the Array Dao brother once mentioned to Ye Xiaofan atop the border city walls, hidden in the cultivation of the Divine Sword Sect—the royal offspring!

This royal offspring, watching that slowly ascending figure to the heavens, suddenly found his breathing became extremely rapid.

Because he noticed that at this moment, the back of the figure ascending to the heavens, combined with the Godslaying Sword and the surrounding environment, very much resembled the image that had been hanging in the royal forbidden grounds for countless years.

And that image, it was said, was obtained at the risk of death and destruction by the many ’Celestial Secret Masters’ of the Nanming royal family using the ’Celestial Secret Technique’ to deduce a future corner for the Royal Race.

The person in the painting was the second existence birthed from the endless rumors of the Royal Race, to unveil the mysterious veil of the emperor’s eastern expedition.

His appearance would once again bring the ’Two-Sword Test’ to reality.

If that image were painted by an ordinary cultivator, it might not be convincing, but with the Celestial Secret Masters of the Royal Race deducing the future, it was deeply significant.

Celestial Secret Masters have always been an extremely mysterious existence on the Martial Soul Continent. These cultivators are born with strangeness, endowed with divine abilities, and can glimpse a corner of the future. The futures deduced by the Celestial Secret Masters mostly become true on the Martial Soul Continent.

At least the Celestial Secret Masters of the Nanming Dynasty carry a hint of ’Celestial Secret Qi,’ let alone that image, deduced at the cost of countless top Celestial Secret Masters’ lives during the peak era of the ’Celestial Secret Pavilion’ of the Nanming Dynasty endless ages ago.

And the scene in that image, compared to this moment, is not just similar, it is identical.

Doesn’t that mean that figure might just be the person in the image?
