Chapter 167: Take The Sword; The Icy Jiang Yunli

Inside the mirror.

Gu Changqing sat in front of the window and did not move at all.

He just kept staring at the round moon in the sky.

Nobody knew what in the world this man was thinking about right now.

The imperial might outside the window lashed out everywhere, the shockwaves hitting the little courtyard, turning it into a wasteland in seconds.

The estate of the Jiang family was humongous, almost equal to a large country. It spanned tens of thousands of miles.

The grand elder’s house was in the middle of the Jiang family estate, yet even here, the sounds of killing could be heard. That was how fierce and formidable the enemy was.

In the nine skies.

Countless terrifying existences were exchanging blows.

It was as terrifying as the amount of resources that the Jiang, Ji and Zheng families had built up over millennia.

Supremes were like rain, countless Quasi-Emperors!

Everywhere glowed with divine glory, everywhere was hit by the huge waves of dao laws.

In the nine skies, cultivators fell like rain, the silver moon was dyed red with blood. Such a massive battle was like a tribulation on immortals.

Time slowly ticked by.

At one point.

A deafening shout rang out, “Great enemies are upon us! I sincerely beg our great senior to help us!”

“The 32nd head of the Jiang family sincerely begs our great senior to help!”

“The Jiang family has guarded the ancestral lands for countless millennia, we sincerely beg our great senior to protect the Jiang family!”

This sound wave was gigantic, its momentum huge, shaking the nine skies.

It contained boundless imperial might, resounding through all 33 layers of the upper world.

It was clearly the voice of the Jiang family head.

He shouted three times, each one filled with pleas. It was clear that the Jiang family was really on the verge of destruction.

“Hahaha…”

“Senior?”

“Old Jiang, so much time has passed, that old elder would have turned to ashes by now!”

“And you dare to threaten us at this point?”

“Today, even if that elder comes himself, your Jiang family will not be able to escape total annihilation!”

A mighty laughter resounded terrifyingly in the skies. It was clear that the heads of the Ji and Zheng families were not bothered by the plea made to the Jiang family grand elder.

“Who says?”

But just then, an incomparably aloof voice rang out.

This voice was aloof, but it was also filled with endless terror. As if it was a deity from ancient times that had awakened out of the long river of time, a low chant that exploded.

In that moment, the entire world shuddered. There was no light from the sun and moon, ancient stars fell from the universe.

Nobody in the nine skies could stand proudly anymore.

All of them fell to the ground, shuddering from the true immortal might contained within that soundwave.

Out of the Jiang family ancestral land, a beam of terrifying aura sprayed out.

An elderly man in a gray robe leaped into the sky, a solemn look on his face as he folded his hands behind his back. “The Jiang family has guarded the ancestral land for countless generations and has contributed beyond words can express. Today, I shall save them!”

“Go!”

With that shout from the old man, the illusion of a divine sword appeared in his hand, slicing from top to bottom!

In that moment, a terrifying sword glow erupted.

That was a sword screen as huge as a galaxy, incredibly brilliant, incredibly beautiful.

The dark night was instantly illuminated as though it was day time. The sword’s momentum passed through the heavens, killing everything in it!

The boundless spacetime suddenly exploded. It was as though the 33 layers of heaven were about to break with this wield of the sword!

…

Outside the mirror.

The cultivators’ pupils constricted.

Even though they knew that the Xuanyuan ancestral lands had been hiding such an existence.

None of them thought that this elder would be terrifying to this extent!

“I’m afraid this old man is an Immortal? Or almost there, right?” said one of the cultivators in shock.

“Such an ancient aristocratic family has been accumulating too many resources over such a long time!”

“Why were they able to continue flourishing and standing at the top of the 33 layers of heaven for so long? It’s because they’ve got someone like this!” exclaimed another cultivator.

The Jiang family had been able to stand proudly at the top for goodness knows how many centuries.

There were families that could consider themselves powerful families because they had many high level cultivators, but within the vast Beixuan Continent, who could call themselves one of the top three among the powerful families?

In reality, it was because they had someone like this.

What the cultivators of Beixuan Continent feared was not the Jiang family itself, but the fact that they were hiding such an ancient monster.

Because nobody knew how many more of such monsters such families might be hiding!

…

Inside the mirror.

The man seated before the window suddenly got up at this moment and tore through the endless spacetime.

When he reappeared.

Gu Changqing had arrived at an ancient ancestral land.

This was a completely desolate place where no plants grew and there was no sign of life at all.

Gu Changqing activated his divine sense and quickly found where the Xuanyuan Sword was.

That was a pool of lava that spewed endless divine fire.

The blazing glow of fire seemed to swallow the world. The glow illuminated everything, so one could not tell if it was day or night.

In the middle of the pool of lava was a divine sword glowing brightly, stabbed right in the middle of the flames.

Around the sword were terrifying divine runes, its bloodthirsty glow slashing through spacetime.

Endless sword will spewed from the sword’s body, as if it was a world that only contained sword dao. It made one feel nothing but fear.

There was also a purple marking on the sword.

That was made from imperial blood, the blood of countless Great Emperors! Even though it had existed for millennia, it was still difficult for time to wash it away.

This was a murderous, divine weapon that was extremely ill-fated, extremely bloodthirsty, extremely dark.

It was just stabbed tip first into the ground, yet it seemed able to suppress the world around it. Nobody could possibly shake the heavenly might of this divine sword.

“The Xuanyuan Sword!”

Gu Changqing stood next to the pool of lava and looked down as he stared at that invincible, immortal weapon in the pool, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

He did not dare to wait too long.

Because he could sense that after that old monster had wielded that sword, the world out there had grown much quieter.

“Come!”

Gu Changqing stretched his hand out and beckoned the sword.

But embarrassingly, that sword’s runes didn’t even move an inch, as though nothing could shake them!

…

Outisde the mirror.

The cultivators’ pupils immediately constricted!

Even though Jiang Minghuang had said before that other than Great Emperor Xuanyuan, nobody else could move this sword.

Yet when the Heavenly Emperor tried to take it, everyone looked on with bated breath.

After all, the Heavenly Emperor had proven to be someone extraordinary! He had done way too many unbelievable things!

And so, these cultivators felt that there was a possibility that the Heavenly Emperor would be able to wield this immortal weapon.

But reality proved to be extremely cruel!

This Xuanyuan Sword really did not move at all!

“Could it be that the Heavenly Emperor didn’t manage to get the Xuanyuan Sword in the end? The one who mended the mill was actually the previous Heavenly Emperor?”

“But based on what the old Heavenly Emperor said, it seems like there’s no way besides using the Xuanyuan Sword!”

Everyone was rather confused, unable to understand how that crack in the mill was eventually mended.

…

Inside the mirror.

Gu Changqing did not give up.

This sword had great implications. He had to get it!

But just when he was about to continue attempting to remove the sword.

A white figure appeared next to him.

It was an elegant woman with classic beauty, a haggard expression on her face, her abdomen slightly swollen.

There was an unconcealable look of iciness and disappointment in her eyes.

It was Jiang Yunli!
