BXBX NOVEL Chapter 226 - 226: Sending Hope to Your Sword Pool Palace (3)
“At that time, I can control Green Mountain in front of Old Imperial Uncle and vent my anger.”
Zhao Pei smiled.
As a genius who had obtained the Celestial Master Residence’s inheritance, he was only ranked behind Zhao Xianyou on the Little Sacred Ranking.
Needless to say, Zhao Xianyou was a monster. Zhao Pei had no intention of comparing himself to him.
Other than Zhao Xianyou, he was outstanding on the Little Sacred Ranking. In his eyes, Qin Lishi’s genius son, Qin Hua’an, was only slightly capable.
However, being unable to wield the Green Mountain Sword had always been a knot in his heart.
He had once begged Old Imperial Uncle to give Green Mountain three times under the Emperor’s lead, but he had never been able to obtain it. Therefore, he was naturally indignant.
The Daoist from the Celestial Master Residence, Li Qingchuan, also recovered his expression. He smiled and said, “Your Highness has now inherited the Celestial Master Residence’s Purple Qi Golden Lotus. With the help of the Golden Lotus, you will definitely be able to soar up in the future and reach the ninth realm.”
“So what if you don’t obtain the Green Mountain Sword?”
When the Jiangling Prince heard that, a strange expression appeared on his face. The Purple Qi Golden Lotus of the Celestial Master Residence was extraordinary. He heard that the Purple Qi Golden Lotus only formed once every 200 years and contained extraordinary providence. Those who obtained the Golden Lotus could have great providence and there would not be much obstruction on their cultivation path.
It was a testament to the close connection between the Celestial Master Residence and the royal family.
For hundreds of years, the Celestial Master Residence had always wanted to become the state religion of the Great Zhao Dynasty. They wanted to use the country’s power and providence to suppress the True Martial Shrine. Although they did not succeed, the entanglement and the intertwining of providence had made the Celestial Master Residence stronger and stronger.
Since the Second Prince could obtain the Purple Qi Golden Lotus, he should be able to break through to the sixth realm soon. If Emperor Zhao really did not succeed in extending his life, the Purple Qi Golden Lotus would definitely become a very important bargaining chip in the battle for the throne.
This might also be a goal of the Celestial Master Residence. If the Second Prince ascended the throne, the Celestial Master Residence, which had placed many chips on the Second Prince, might really become the Orthodoxy of Great Zhao.
The Second Prince glanced at the Daoist, his eyes filled with deep meaning. Green Mountain not only represented a sword, but also recognition.
“As the Second Prince of Great Zhao, it shouldn’t be a problem for me to take a look at the Sword Pool Lake.” The Second Prince said indifferently.
Jiangling Prince Zhao Xi couldn’t help but smile when she heard that. “Of course not. The Sword Pool Palace has never stopped anyone from viewing the Sword Pool Lake because that old Land Immortal Sword Sage said that the Sword Pool Lake only depends on fate. If it’s fated, even weak scholars can enter. If they’re not fated, they can’t even take half a step into the place, even if they’re at the ninth realm.”
“Back then, Old Imperial Uncle had a terrible reputation in the Sword Pool Palace, but he still had the chance to view the Sword Pool Lake. It was all because of this fate.’
“You’ll know if there’s fate with the Sword Bell hanging in front of the Sword Pool Lake. Second Prince, you can try and see if you can ring that Sword Bell.”
The Jiangling Prince’s expression was gentle and elegant.
“Uncle, are you not going?” the Second Prince asked.
A dark look flashed across the Jiangling Prince’s gentle and elegant face. “I won’t go.”
“I hate that Sword Bell.”
On the River Gathering Building, the female Sword God floated down.
This was a woman with a heroic spirit. She was wearing a scale armor that tightly tied her waistline. Underneath was a green dress, and her entire person looked like an unsheathed sword.
The woman was like a sword and her sword qi surged. Although she was not extremely beautiful, the heroic aura she exuded was even more eye-catching than ordinary beauties.
Zhao Huangting was sitting on a chair, eating side dishes and drinking wine.
Su Muzhe walked over and sat on a chair, staring straight at Zhao Huangting.
“It’s been a hundred years. You haven’t come to the Sword Pool Palace to see me for a hundred years.”
Su Muzhe opened her mouth and questioned.
“You can now. You activated the Nirvana Fire and only came to see me after using the Heart Sword to suppress it… How many days until we meet again?” As Su Muzhe spoke, she pursed her lips.
Zhao Huangting sighed and pointed at An Le beside him. “This is An Le, Young
Friend An. I gave Green Mountain to him. I brought him to the Sword Pool
Palace this time to try and see if he can sharpen Green Mountain.”
An Le cupped his fists and bowed. “Greetings, Senior.”
Su Muzhe glanced at An Le. The young man was extraordinarily handsome and had a faint pride like a green bamboo. She vaguely seemed to see the old man in front of her when he was young.
For a moment, Su Muzhe’s eyes softened. “The Sword Pool Lake has always been there. As long as you can ring the Sword Bell in front of the pool, no one will stop you.”
“I naturally know that. As for whether the Sword Bell can be rung, this kid will definitely be able to.”
Zhao Huangting grinned and picked up a piece of stir-fried pig liver. He held it in one hand and fed it to the woman.
“Come, calm down. Eat a piece of pork liver. It’s stir-fried pork liver from the
River Gathering Restaurant. Coupled with Bamboo Green Leaf, it’s delicious.” Su Muzhe looked at the pig liver that the old man handed to her mouth and her anger instantly dissipated. She opened her mouth slightly and ate the pig liver.
An Le: ‘
It was as if he had been attacked by a couple.
However, Old Imperial Uncle was so good at it.
Lin Qingyin and Lin Zhuifeng covered their mouths and laughed, their eyes shining.
“How’s the old Sword Sage’s health?” Zhao Huangting fed Su Muzhe a mouthful of wine and asked.
Su Muzhe shook her head. “Not good.”
Hearing that, Zhao Huangting frowned. “If even you are saying that… It seems like it’s really not good.”
“The old Sword Sage’s cultivation level is extraordinary. As one of the current Land Immortals, he has always been the one supporting the Sword Pool Palace.
If the old Sword Sage is not around, the Sword Pool Palace might be in danger. The uniqueness of the Sword Pool Lake can’t be protected without a supreme expert guarding it.”
“The Jiangling Prince is ambitious, and Dali is eyeing us covetously. The Yuan
Meng Empire will definitely not give up on this treasure land, the Sword Pool Lake… It will probably be quite difficult for the ninth-realm cultivators of the Sword Pool Palace. The Old Sword Sage has to persist like how he used his strength to beat me up.”
Zhao Huangting smacked his lips.
However, there was nothing he could do. Even he was about to die, let alone the old Sword Sage who was already famous in the world before he became famous.
Although tenth-realm Land Immortals could live longer, they still had a lifespan.
Moreover, when their lifespan came to an end, they would be even more desperate. This was because it was impossible for a tenth realm cultivator to break through to the eleventh realm. They could not even see a clear path.
Without even a path or hope, how could they not despair?
“I was a disappointment. If I could break through to the tenth realm, I wouldn’t have these problems.”
Su Muzhe sighed. However, how could it be so easy to break through to the tenth realm? There were so many peerless people in the world who were stuck at the peak of the ninth realm for hundreds of years and could not take a step forward. How could she, Su Muzhe, easily take this step?
However, no matter how unstable the Sword Pool Palace would be in the future, there would not be any danger now that the old Sword Sage was still around.
No one dared to underestimate the deterrence of a tenth-realm Land Immortal.
“Aren’t I bringing hope to your Sword Pool Palace? Little An has a special fate with the sword, as if he was born for the sword. This time, I brought him here to sharpen Green Mountain. When he succeeds in sharpening Green Mountain, I believe that the old Sword Sage will definitely know how to grasp this hope.
The future of the Sword Pool Palace will also be assured.’
Zhao Huangting grinned and suddenly pulled An Le over, patting his shoulder.
Su Muzhe was stunned and looked at An Le again.
Although An Le had Green Mountain to conceal his cultivation, with Su Muzhe’s strength, she could naturally tell that An Le’s cultivation level was not high. In fact… he had not broken through to the sixth realm.
However, she could hear confidence in Zhao Huangting’s words. Zhao Huangting, who had failed four times in a row to sharpen Green Mountain, was actually not worried this time. Instead, he was confident enough to break through the clouds.
It was an unprecedented confidence that was stronger than his own.
Su Muzhe knew very well how difficult it was to ring the Sword Bell in front of the Sword Pool Lake and how difficult it was to sharpen Green Mountain.
Was it this young man’s talent in the Sword Dao… Why did her husband value him so much?!
