I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory
Chapter Summary
Suddenly, they realized that the direction in which the divine sword was flying was actually toward the Great Xia capital city. After the divine sword had finished killing, how did it break through the air and come before him? This demonic sword, which had killed tens of thousands of martial artists, did not go anywhere after its killings.
The divine sword flew ahead, and the three of them chased after it.
Suddenly, they realized that the direction in which the divine sword was flying was actually toward the Great Xia capital city.
In the blink of an eye, it had already traversed dozens of li and arrived above the Great Xia capital city.
Then, it dove straight into the imperial palace and came before Lin Beifan, emitting a joyful sword cry.
Lin Beifan was stunned.
After the divine sword had finished killing, how did it break through the air and come before him?
And it seemed to be quite happy?
What is it trying to do?
“Your Majesty, be careful!
” Eunuch Liu stepped in front of Lin Beifan, warily watching the demonic sword that had flown from nowhere.
Bai Zhu also emerged from the shadows, sword in hand, ready to protect Lin Beifan.
However, she noticed that the sword in her hand was trembling, conveying a sense of fear.
Such a situation was truly rare!
Even her sword, which was also a rare divine weapon, felt fear?
Bai Zhu scrutinized it carefully, then her face turned pale with shock: “This sword… it seems to be the divine sword forged by Master Ouyezi.
It appeared in the world today.
How did it fly here?
”“Bai Zhu, are you sure you’re not mistaken?
Is this really that divine sword?
” Liu Eunuch asked in surprise.
“There’s absolutely no mistake, I’ve glimpsed it from afar once!
Only this divine sword could cause the sword in my hand to feel fear!
” Bai Zhu explained in a low voice.
“But what… what’s going on here?
”At that moment, the sound of three objects cutting through the air was heard as Ouyezi, Wine Sword Immortal, and Empty Hand Master arrived in pursuit.
Seeing the divine sword they were chasing fly into the imperial palace and land in front of Lin Beifan, they couldn’t help but be shocked.
“How did this cursed sword… end up flying here?
”“What does it want to do?
”“Be careful, everyone.
This demon sword is malevolent.
If someone touches it, they will become unrecognizable to their kin and develop a thirst for killing!
”“Don’t let it get close to His Majesty!
”Several people stood in front of the demonic sword, whispering among themselves, coming to understand the whole story.
But the more they knew the situation, the more astonished they became.
This demonic sword, which had killed tens of thousands of martial artists, did not go anywhere after its killings.
Instead, it actually came before His Majesty.
It was truly sinister.
What on earth does it want to do?
Unable to make heads or tails of the situation, everyone turned their attention to Ouyezi, the swordsmith who forged the sword.
“This sword…”Ouyezi furrowed his brow, pondering for a moment, “It seems as though the sword wishes to choose its master!
”“A divine sword choosing its master?
” Everyone was taken aback.
Their gazes shifted to Lin Beifan, who remained expressionless.
If the divine sword was indeed choosing its master, then it could only be their sovereign, Lin Beifan.
Why else would it have flown here?
But that was precisely what was so bizarre about the situation.
“Ouyezi, are you sure the divine sword wants to choose a master?
His Majesty doesn’t even know martial arts, how could the divine sword possibly want to acknowledge him as its master?
This is simply an impossibility!
” Wine Sword Immortal murmured.
The others all nodded, indicating their agreement.
“You’re right, but things do seem to be this way.
I can’t explain it either!
” Ouyezi whispered, also very uncertain.
But at that moment, the divine sword unexpectedly emitted a pleased sound of sword singing as if it agreed with Ouyezi’s words.
“This…” Everyone was bewildered.
Could it be that the divine sword really wanted to acknowledge His Majesty as its master?
It was too absurd, too preposterous!
Lin Beifan waved his hand: “Everyone step back!
Whether this sword wants to recognize me as its master or not, why not just try and see?
”Wine Sword Immortal exclaimed in alarm, “Your Majesty, this matter is not to be trifled with!
You must understand that countless martial artists have perished at its hands!
Even Innate-level experts have been burned to death by the dozens!
You are flesh and blood, if an accident were to occur…”“Exactly, exactly, this must not be attempted!
” Liu Eunuch agreed with both hands.
“Your Majesty, it’s too dangerous, you mustn’t try it!
” Bai Zhu said.
“Your Majesty, you really shouldn’t take this risk!
Your life is crucial to the nation’s stability and relates to the lives of countless common people; it must not be jeopardized!
” Empty Hand Master also advised.
Ouyezi, on the other hand, hoped that Lin Beifan would give it a try to confirm his own thoughts.
But considering the grave consequences, he kept silent.
Lin Beifan himself did not say much, but the divine sword became impatient, and with a whoosh, it swiftly flew towards him.
“Stop the divine sword, don’t let it harm His Majesty!
”Liu Eunuch, Bai Zhu, and others did not hesitate to take action, but despite exerting all their skills, they still couldn’t intercept it.
They could only watch helplessly as the divine sword charged towards Lin Beifan with the speed of lightning.
“Your Majesty, be careful!
” Liu Eunuch’s eyes were filled with rage and desperation.
But at the very last moment, the divine sword stopped in front of Lin Beifan, the distance between them less than a foot.
The divine sword emitted another hum as if urging Lin Beifan to make his move.
“Everyone, do not worry.
I feel that this sword does not wish to harm me; it simply desires to become the sharp blade in my hand!
” Lin Beifan extended his right hand, reaching for the divine sword.
“Your Majesty, be careful!
” Everyone exclaimed in alarm once again.
However, they found that the divine sword was firmly grasped in Lin Beifan’s hand without any issue.
“What a sword!
Truly an unparalleled great sword!
” Lin Beifan brought the sword up to his eyes, slowly admiring it.
The sword was entirely pitch-black, devoid of any intricate decorations, simple and natural as if it was a creation of nature itself, which he liked very much.
Especially considering how effortlessly the sword had slain many experts, his fondness for it grew even more.
For him, a master swordsman, this sword was indeed like adding wings to a tiger.
“Clang, clang, clang…”The divine sword emitted a joyful sound, seemingly very pleased with the master it had chosen.
“Is this… really the divine sword choosing its master?
”“The divine sword actually chose His Majesty, who has no cultivation?
”Everyone was dumbfounded, exchanging bewildered looks, their hearts filled with astonishment.
If the event hadn’t unfolded right before their eyes, they wouldn’t dare believe what was happening.
“Ouyezi, what on earth is going on?
”“Come on, speak up!
Why, out of all the martial artists, did the divine sword not choose any but instead chose His Majesty?
”“Don’t hesitate, speak up already!
”Ouyezi was urged until he was sweating profusely: “This… I…”How could he possibly understand such a thing that he was witnessing for the first time?
Just then, he slapped his forehead: “Ah!
I’ve got it!
Haha… I’ve finally figured it out!
”“If you’ve figured it out, then say it!
Do you have any idea how anxious everyone is right now?
”“Stop dilly-dallying, out with it already!
”Amidst the urging of the crowd, Ouyezi seemed to have discovered a new world, speaking animatedly, “Let me tell you, when a divine sword chooses its master, it not only selects powerful swordsmen but also looks for swordsmanship prodigies with outstanding potential!
Although His Majesty has not practiced martial arts, he might be a one-in-a-million swordsmanship genius.
That’s why the divine sword recognized him and accepted him as its master!
”“Oh~ So that’s how it is!
” Everyone suddenly understood.
Lin Beifan smiled faintly to himself; this excuse was quite good, saving him the trouble of coming up with one.
“Who would have thought the divine sword actually chose His Majesty as its master!
”Wine Sword Immortal laughed heartily, “What I’m curious about, Your Majesty, is how you managed to lift the sword that weighs over 3000 pounds?
”“Do we even need to ask?
”Empty Hand Master chuckled, “The divine sword can fly on its own, so making itself lighter for His Majesty is hardly a challenge, right?
”Lin Beifan nodded, “That must be the reason!
When I lift this sword, it feels weightless, like an extension of my arm, very simple and effortless!
Don’t believe me?
Try it for yourselves!
”With that, he thrust the sword into the ground.
But all they saw was the sword sinking down, almost to the hilt, before it finally stopped.
The corners of Wine Sword Immortal and the others’ mouths twitched: “I think… there’s no need!
”With a clang, Lin Beifan pulled the sword out of the ground, waving it effortlessly.
“Your Majesty, this sword can unleash scorching flames, capable of turning everything to ashes.
Would you like to give it a try?
” Ouyezi suggested.
“Good!
” Lin Beifan swung lightly, and indeed, intense flames were released.
He burned all the surrounding bookshelves to ashes.
“Excellent sword!
”Lin Beifan was very satisfied.
“This sword is entirely black and can release flames, just like the fire from the ninth heaven.
Therefore, I shall bestow upon it the name Xuanxiao Sword (Mysterious Heavenly Sword)!
From now on, this sword shall serve as the Divine Sword of the Defender of the State for our Great Xia!
”“Xuanxiao Sword, what a good name!
” Everyone unanimously exclaimed.
Lin Beifan’s face beamed with joy: “Ouyezi has made a great contribution in forging this sword, hence I reward him with ten thousand taels of gold, fifty jars of distilled liquor, and a mansion in the capital city!
Moreover, I confer upon him the title of Marquis of the Divine Sword, with all the privileges that come with the rank of a marquis!
”Ouyezi, delighted, said: “Thank you, Your Majesty!
However, the pressing matter at hand is for Your Majesty to quickly dispatch someone to clean up the area around the volcano’s mouth so that your humble servant can continue to forge swords!
”Lin Beifan nodded and said with a smile: “I will arrange for someone to take care of it immediately!
”“Rewards for the Wine Sword Immortal, Empty Hand Master, and others as well—all shall be rewarded!
”After bestowing rewards upon the meritorious officials, Lin Beifan ordered people to deal with the volcanic crater.
