BXBX NOVEL Chapter 269: Sword Ancestor.
Su Qin soon entered the Long Life Temple.
After leaving the Western Desert, Su Qin stopped by at the Shaolin Temple first, before hurrying back to Chang’an City.
On the way, Su Qin also familiarized himself with his new Magic Power, the [Earthbound Art], trying to adapt himself to the underground environment.
Magic Power was different from a Divine Art. The former was more like instinct. But just as drinking water and eating food was instinctive, you still need to familiarize yourself with it.
Especially deep underground, where there were all kinds of terrifying magnetic fields. Su Qin must be careful and avoid them. Otherwise, even if there was no danger, it will be very troublesome and he would be stuck in there for a while.
“Third Brother.”
Emperor Li Sheng swiftly stepped forward and explained what had happened during this period of time.
“Li Wan was taken away?”
Su Qin slightly frowned.
The Earth Element Source was elusive. If not for the Ancestors of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall guiding him, he wouldn’t have found it. Just as the outside of the Earth Element Source was vague, one’s perception once inside the Earth Element Source would also be vague.
Su Qin stayed in the Earth Element Source for two months and his perception became blurred. In addition, the Western Desert and Chang’an City were extremely far away, so he did not sense that Li Wan was no longer in Chang’an City.
“What the hell is going on?”
Su Qin’s eyes flashed and he indifferently asked.
Li Wan was his niece. After so many years of getting along with her, no matter how indifferent Su Qin was, it would be impossible to just sit back and watch Li Wan disappear inexplicably.
“Senior.”
The Old Taoist’s heart trembled.
Although Su Qin’s expression was still calm at this moment, the Old Taoist faintly felt that the void around them began to condense. Even the vast and endless World’s Essence Qi was suppressed.
“Senior’s strength has increased again…” The Old Taoist felt as if he was facing Heaven’s might itself. While trembling in fear, he quickly said: “The one who took Li Wan Princess should be the Myriad Sword Sect, but the people of the Myriad Sword Sect must not know the identity of Princess Li Wan…”
The Old Taoist braced himself and explained.
He was really afraid that Su Qin would just kill his way through the Myriad Sword Sect in a fit of rage.
Su Qin was extremely powerful, to the point that even a Peak Legend with a Mini Domain would get crushed. But if he wanted to force his way into a Major Sect alone, the situation looked bleak.
The Major Sects overseas had long histories and were extremely dangerous; akin to a dragon’s cave and tiger’s den.
“They already know Li Wan’s identity.”
Su Qin looked towards the Southeast direction.
“They know?” The Old Taoist was taken aback. Su Qin just said that the Myriad Sword Sect already knew Li Wan’s identity?
Emperor Li Sheng and the Su Family were also full of doubts, staring closely at Su Qin.
“The strand of Divine Sense that I left on Li Wan has disappeared.” Su Qin was silent for a while, before a trace of coldness appeared on his face.
After learning that Li Wan had disappeared, Su Qin immediately tried to sense the piece of wood he had given to Li Wan.
This piece of wood contained a strand of Su Qin’s Divine Sense and was closely carried by Li Wan, close to her body. Once Li Wan encounters danger, the Divine Sense in the sword mark of the wood would activate.
With his strength, even if it was just a strand of Divine Sense, could crush a Legend at the 5th or 6th Heavenly Layer.
To be able to suppress Su Qin’s Divine Sense so quietly, it would require one to be a Peak Legend. Not to mention that one had to be no ordinary Peak Legend either, as they would not be able to completely suppress it. The sword mark still could have sent back information. Only a Peak Legend with a Mini Domain, could completely suppress Su Qin’s Divine Sense.
“Senior’s Divine Sense disappeared?”
The Old Taoist’s face turned white. He was also a Legend Realm Martial Artist. Of course, he knew the usefulness of Divine Sense. Yet the vast Divine Sense of someone like Su Qin had disappeared, just like that?
Only a Peak Legend Ancestor from the Myriad Sword Sect would be able to erase Su Qin’s Divine Sense.
“How dare the Myriad Sword Sect cast aside all considerations for face like this?” The Old Taoist’s expression was ugly.
Although the Sword Heart Body had great potential, in the end, it was only potential. Why would the Myriad Sword Sect offend a Peak Legend, like Su Qin, because of this potential?
“Could it be that the Myriad Sword Sect is in urgent need of the Sword Heart Body right now?” The Old Taoist thought about everything, but never seemed to arrive at a conclusion.
With the resources of the Myriad Sword Sect, if they try their best to Cultivate someone with a Sword Heart Body, they can indeed quickly boost him into the Legend Realm.
But that was all.
If they want to go deeper in the Legend Realm, or even enter the Peak Legend, simply relying on the Sword Heart Body wouldn’t be enough. It requires one to have a strong perception and opportunities.
“Tell me about the Myriad Sword Sect.” Su Qin looked at the Old Taoist and said.
Although Su Qin’s body was already a Quasi-Dharma Body, the Myriad Sword Sect was still a Major Sect. It was better to be cautious, lest he gets caught off guard.
“Yes.” The Old Taoist suddenly shivered. He quickly bowed and said: “The Myriad Sword Sect was founded 4,800 years ago. The founder is named Myriad Sword, who is a Sword Dao Earth Immortal. He had dominated the Martial Arts World overseas for over 500 years.”
“Myriad Sword left the Myriad Sword Sect in his later years, after knowing that breakthrough was hopeless.”
“After Myriad Sword, for more than 4,000 years, no one in the Myriad Sword Sect was able to enter the Earth Immortal Realm.”
Reaching this point, the Old Taoist paused for a bit: “However, 1,900 years ago, the Myriad Sword Sect produced an extremely talented disciple who had the Sword Heart Body.”
“This disciple opened the treasure left by Myriad Sword, his strength advancing by leaps and bounds. Opportunities continued, and finally, he had condensed his Primordial Spirit…”
“Condensed his Primordial Spirit?”
Su Qin slightly nodded.
Condensing a Primordial Spirit during the period where the vitality was silent, was something that could only be achieved by treasures and also incredible talent. Otherwise, if one of the two was missing, it would be impossible.
The Old Taoist cautiously glanced at Su Qin and continued: “This Myriad Sword Sect dísciple then led the Myriad Sword Sect into prosperity for an era. He was known as the Sword Ancestor, but in the end, his highest achievement capped at condensing his Primordial Spirit…”
The Old Taoist sighed slightly.
Even a peerless genius was not able to touch the Earth Immortal Realm. From this, one could clearly see the difficulties of becoming an Earth Immortal. Even in the prosperous era, those who could become an Earth Immortal could be counted on one hand.
“Sword Ancestor?”
Su Qin frowned, he continued to ask: “Are there any more?”
“Senior, after the Sword Ancestor, the Myriad Sword Sect weakened. Although a Peak Legend would still be born every few decades, it was far less amazing than the Sword Ancestor.”
The Old Taoist whispered.
Many of the information he knew was top-secret. Even overseas, only the Major Sects knew it. The Old Taoist was able to get a hold of this information because he liked to study ancient records.
“I see.”
Su Qin’s expression remained unchanged, but there was an inexplicable vortex, which was slowly turning, in the depths of his eyes. In an instant, all kinds of Internal Qi appeared in Su Qin’s eyes.
The Myriad Sword Sect might had suppressed Su Qin’s Divine Sense, but it did not conceal Li Wan’s traces and prevent Su Qin from finding her whereabouts.
With the [Eyes of Truth], as long as Su Qin had seen this type of Internal Qi once, even it’s owner escaped to the ends of the earth, he could still find that person.
Su Qin had been with Li Wan for so long, of course he was familiar with her Internal Qi.
[Weng~]!!!
Su Qin’s mind was infinitely elevated. He gazed towards the Southeast, as it extended quickly.
“On the Southeast side…”
Su Qin’s thoughts fluctuated and quickly inferred.
“I’ll go and bring Li Wan back.” After Su Qin said this, he stepped forward and disappeared in place.
“Bring Princess Li Wan back…” The Old Taoist swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He was in awe.
His guess was that since the Myriad Sword Sect dared to risk offending Su Qin, Li Wan must play a very important role to them.
In this case, Li Wan should be guarded by a large number of Myriad Sword Sect powerhouses, and there would be no shortage of Ancestors at the Peak Legend.
So Su Qin’s desire to bring Li Wan from these people was tantamount to seizing food from the tiger’s mouth. It was extremely dangerous.
“I wish Senior the best…”
The Old Taoist could only hope that the Myriad Sword Sect would still have some consideration and hand over Li Wan. Otherwise, the situation would get dangerous for Su Qin, who’s alone.

At the same time, outside the Tang Empire, in the Southeast Region.
A giant peak pierced through the sky like a Divine Sword. Standing below the peak, one would feel a fierce aura.
On the top of the peak were several figures, gathered in a magnificent bluestone great hall, that was tens of meters high.
These figures were all carrying swords on their backs. Their auras were surging. They were all Peak Legends, Sword Dao Peak Legends at that.
The Sword Dao was already good at killing, even more a Peak Legend of the Sword Dao?
At this moment, these figures were sitting around a stone pillar, facing each other.
On top of the stone pillar was a piece of floating wood. In the center of the wood was a shallow sword mark carved into it. Monstrous Sword Intent was constantly brewing from this sword mark, as if it could annihilate everything.
“What is the origin of the Peak Legend in Chang’an City, and why is his Sword Dao so mysterious?”
At this moment, the Peak Legend sitting on the left opened his eyes and looked at the sword mark floating on the stone pillar in front of him, muttering in shock.
