Chapter 2368 - 2367: The Nine Swords’ Opportunity
The Little Kirin and the others were visibly excited, having gathered quite a few astonishing facts from the mouth of the Chaos Beast.
He anxiously asked Long Fei on behalf of his brothers, "Dad, it’s said you all came back from the Chaotic Sea, which connects the Three Realms. And Little Ya’s mother and Uncle Chu Feng, supposedly they have also gone to the Immortal Realm?"
A group of disciples stared wide-eyed, looking at Long Fei in surprise.
Long Fei affirmed as he watched them, "Yes, that’s correct."
Everyone let out a sound of amazement, stunned into silence.
Lin Yingying exclaimed in disbelief, "Is there truly an Immortal Realm in this world?"
Long Fei nodded and said, "Not only is there an Immortal Realm, but also the Underworld from the myths. Immortal Realm, Netherworld, Human Realm. Recently, they intersected together. The gates to the Immortal Realm and the Netherworld are wide open, and many from the Demon Race have emerged from the Netherworld, but they were all blocked by me and the Chaos Beast. The situation in the Immortal Realm is unclear; it might not be as good there. The next time the gates of the Three Realms open is in ten thousand nine hundred sixty years. Everyone should cultivate well so that in the future, you will still have a chance to reunite with them."
The group nodded their heads, and after confirming the news of the Immortal Realm, each of them suddenly had a goal.
Attaining immortality has always been the obsession of the cultivators throughout history.
Previously, everyone always felt the Immortal Realm was too far away, too vague, not realizing that it truly exists.
Long Fei’s Storage Ring flashed, and from it flew out Nine Mystical Lights, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, piercing onto the high platform.
The sword light flickered, and the Crystal Palace received interference from the Laws, flashing with waves of Mysterious Light.
The disciples gasped, crying out in astonishment, "True Immortal Sword?"
Long Fei nodded and said, "Indeed, these are the Kunwu Nine Swords, refined by the sword-master using Kunwu Copper back then. There are nine swords in total, paired with a formation map, they are invincible when united. Now, you will perform a blood rite with the swords and attempt to communicate with the Sword Spirit within. Whoever gets recognized by the Divine Sword, the item shall belong to you."
The disciples were ablaze with intense excitement.
Even the Little Kirin and the others were eagerly asking, "Can we try?"
Long Fei laughed softly, "Of course!"
The Little Kirin immediately released nine drops of fresh blood, scattering them broadly upon the Kunwu Nine Swords.
His golden Kirin blood is indeed a rare substance in the world.
Once sprinkled onto the nine swords, it instantly emitted white smoke, evaporated by the sword qi of the nine swords.
"What’s going on!"
The Little Kirin shook his head, feeling a bit depressed.
Little Xuan and Little Bai stood up, laughing, "Big brother, you rest, we’ll give it a try!"
They also released their Divine Beast bloodlines, but like Little Kirin, the blood quickly emitted white smoke upon touching the swords.
The two sighed, shrugged at the Little Kirin, and sat back down.
The Vermilion Bird giggled at her three brothers, "These swords seem more suitable for girls. Let me give it a try!"
Her Vermilion Bird blood burned with flames, similarly releasing nine drops upon the Longswords.
A tinkling sound was heard as the blood colored the swords.
This time, the process lasted longer than her three brothers, but after a while, white smoke still rose.
The Vermilion Bird shook her head, pouting her little face, "Seems like it’s not our destiny."
The other disciples exchanged glances and enthusiastically shouted, "Let’s try then!"
Lin Shanshan and Ji Wanyu started off in the same manner, releasing nine drops of fresh blood onto the swords.
The outcome was the same, with white smoke rising simultaneously.
Lin Shanshan patted her forehead in frustration and said, "I knew it, none of the good things ever come my way."
Ji Wanyu chuckled, pulling her to sit down, whispering, "I bet brother-in-law has more good stuff, let’s not rush."
Lin Shanshan nodded, waiting for the others to try.
A group of male cultivators wasn’t going to give way to the girls now; among them were Mao Zheng from the Songshan Top Ten, Fu Qingzhu, Fat Wang from Yin Yang Sect F5, and others who all gave it a try.
One by one, they all failed, the Nine Swords remained unmoved, showing no response.
The male cultivators sat down in disappointment, while the female cultivators teased them and proceeded to take turns.
Hua Qianmo, the Vice Sect Hierarch, naturally was the first.
She had already set her sights on one sword and unleashed a drop of blood towards it.
The blood tinkled as it touched the sword.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, waiting for a moment, the sword buzzed with a sound and swept across with a Mystical Light into Hua Qianmo’s hand.
A group of female disciples stood up excitedly, crying out together, "We knew it, this is our destiny!"
Long Fei shared a smile with them, confirming something in his heart.
It’s said that this sword belonged to the nine sword-bearing maids of Eastern Emperor Tai Yi. Now it’s meant for the female disciples to claim this destiny.
Ding Xue led the stand, eagerly trying with Li Zhenni, Zhang Xuan’er, Gongsun Zhi, Jiang Yunlan, Li Zhenni, Liuu Ruyan, and a group of people.
The Divine Swords recognized their masters, buzzing in resonance.
Seven Longswords flew up simultaneously, each claimed by one of them.
Nine Long Swords, eight were claimed in no time.
The female cultivators on the field felt restless, getting impatient and readying themselves eagerly.
Long Fei looked at them, smiling as he instructed, "Bai Jie’er, Bai Xiaochun, Bai Qianqian, Sophia, Soria, Anna, Nightingale, you all give it a try too!"
They’d been waiting impatiently, seated all along because of their identity as Demon Clan.
When Long Fei instructed, they immediately released blood onto the last Divine Sword.
The outcome was the same as before, as the blood touched the Longsword, white smoke rose swiftly.
The crowd exclaimed, realizing these items truly belong to those destined.
Lin Yingying instructed Ji Wanrong and Princess Jin Xiyao from Aurelius, "Let’s try to sisters!"
The two smiled and nodded, trying together with Lin Yingying.
The outcome was the sword trembled but did not recognize a master.
The three exchanged smiles, not surprised.
Long Fei glanced at the crowd, instructing Shen Yan’er hidden in the corner, "Yan’er, you try it!"
Shen Yan’er looked at Long Fei, feeling slightly shy.
She and her brother were hiding as Disciples of Mount Shu. Her brother Shen Feng hadn’t tried, so she didn’t dare to either.
She turned to look at her brother, and Shen Feng instructed sternly, "The Sect Hierarch commanded, you must try!"
Shen Yan’er nodded eagerly, immediately releasing a drop of fresh blood onto the sword.
The sword flashed with blood light, buzzing with a sound, and instantly swept with sword light into Shen Yan’er’s hand.
Shen Yan’er exclaimed in excitement, "Oh my, I never expected this!"
Long Fei looked at her, along with Hua Qianmo, Ding Xue, Li Zhenni, Zhang Xuan’er, Gongsun Zhi, Jiang Yunlan, Li Zhenni, Liuu Ruyan, the nine of them.
They had deep connections with him in the mundane world, all indeed destined.
"It’s supposed to be this way!"
He handed the formation map of Kunwu Nine Swords to Hua Qianmo, and then transmitted the formation map and the sword patterns of Kunwu Nine Swords into their Divine Seas.
The nine charming women thanked him excitedly, without waiting for his command, rushed together to test the swords outside.
These are True Immortal Swords, incomparable to ordinary Magical Treasures.
Everyone watched them leave enviously, looking toward Long Fei with anticipation.
Long Fei didn’t let them down, comforting them, "Everyone has their own destiny, do not despair, your chance will appear. I have plenty of True Immortal Swords and lots of Magical Treasures on me, enough to equip each one of you with a sword."
A group of disciples nodded eagerly, cupping their fists in agreement.
Long Fei wasn’t just comforting them; he obtained all the resources of the Heavenly Court, left to him entirely by Chu Feng when they departed.
These items are enough to arm a powerful force of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals.
At the time of the Ancient Heavenly Court’s demise, preparations must have been made leaving the armor and weapons of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals behind.
