Primordial Divine Emperor

Chapter 540 - 244: Hundred Sects Shaken, Sword Saint’s Deadlock, Yunmo Xi’s Plan

In an instant.

The hidden offspring of the royal race, cultivating in the Divine Sword Sect, gasped heavily.

Watching the scene, his eyes became increasingly shocked and utterly awe-inspiring.

"Junior Brother Huang Lang, what’s wrong?"

Perhaps sensing the odd expression of the person beside him, a senior brother from the Divine Sword Sect couldn’t help but speak, looking at the royal offspring who had subconsciously taken a step forward.

This senior brother called the other person Huang Lang, which made it obvious that the royal offspring’s alias in the Divine Sword Sect was Huang Lang.

However, few knew that his real name was Xuanyuan Lang, the eighteenth prince of the current Human Emperor of the royal race, the eighteenth prince of the Nanming Dynasty.

But ever since this prince was born, he was sent to the Divine Sword Sect to grow up. Regarding Xuanyuan Lang’s identity, even the upper echelons of the Divine Sword Sect were scarcely informed.

Hearing the words, Xuanyuan Lang came back to his senses, realizing his loss of composure, and quickly replied: "Reply... reply to senior brother, junior... junior brother is fine."

The senior brother nodded slightly upon hearing this. Although he had doubts, he didn’t pay much attention. After all, he undoubtedly didn’t know that this peerless anomaly standing in front of him was the son of the Human Emperor. As for Xuanyuan Lang being sent to the Hundred Broken Mountain Range from birth, he naturally had his mission.

As a son of the Human Emperor, he wouldn’t be sent to a sect to cultivate casually. The royal guardian who entered the Divine Sword Sect along with the infant Xuanyuan Lang is now still a formidable elder in the Divine Sword Sect, though not a Supreme Elder, he holds a high position in the Supreme Elder Council.

And Xuanyuan Lang’s mission in the Divine Sword Sect was passed on to him by this guardian after he grew up. The eighteenth prince’s mission was to monitor any unusual movements of the Godslaying Sword. If the "Two-Sword Test" descended upon the world, he would immediately use his royal bloodline to convey the message straight to the Celestial Hall.

In fact, for countless ages, the royal race has always arranged for a prince to be hidden in the Hundred Broken Mountain Range for cultivation, waiting for the appearance of the "Person in the Painting." Xuanyuan Lang was merely an insignificant one among generations of princes. Once a new prince could take his place, he would return to the royal race.

However, clearly, at this moment, Xuanyuan Lang had an intuition that he might not be one of the many insignificant hidden princes. If that figure truly was the "Old Celestial Secret Master"-predicted Person in the Painting, the message he relayed back would shake the entire royal race, even alerting the current Human Emperor.

As Xuanyuan Lang’s heart stirred with boundless tumultuous waves,

the senior brother from the Divine Sword Sect moved on without paying further attention to Xuanyuan Lang and looked towards a few other senior brothers and sisters from the Divine Sword Sect, speaking calmly.

"Do you think Junior Brother Ye can pass the Godslaying Sword’s test?"

"You mean how many sword tests he could attract, right?"

"You could say that. With Junior Brother Ye’s talent, is it possible to give rise to a ’One-Sword Test’?"

After these words, many senior brothers and sisters from the Divine Sword Sect were visibly excited, their eyes filled with hope.

Regarding that figure’s comprehension, although the peerless geniuses from the Hundred Sects were not aware, the people of the Divine Sword Sect were fortunate enough to have witnessed it once. It was when Ye Xiaofan and Luo Qingchen had a Sword Intent duel at the temporary base of the Divine Sword Sect on the peak of the fourth Spirit Peak.

That figure’s comprehension was extraordinarily high, at least in terms of Sword Intent, it was undoubtedly number one in the Divine Sword Sect, even more terrifying than Luo Qingchen.

With such heavenly Sword Intent comprehension, combined with a Sixth Grade Forbidden Martial Soul, and various performances, the junior brother might actually reenact a legend, causing the "One-Sword Test" to descend upon the Divine Sword Sect for the third time.

The first was Sword Saint Dugu Nan, the second was Qin Yi, and if a third could occur, the future of the Divine Sword Sect would become unimaginably terrifying.

However, upon saying this, many senior brothers and sisters of the Divine Sword Sect shook their heads slightly and said, "To have the Godslaying Sword descend a ’One-Sword Test’, one must first comprehend all the Sword Decision within the Divine Swords. Just those tests are enough to trap most Sword Cultivators."

"Even the Sword Saint predecessors of the past only managed to summon the ’One-Sword Test’, and later, even exhausted, they couldn’t fully comprehend that one sword. Sword Dao comprehension and Sword Intent comprehension are not the same concept. Reaching the achievement of the Sword Saint predecessors of the past is already as difficult as ascending to heaven."

"Senior brother is right. Comprehension and Martial Soul aren’t inherently linked. Even though Junior Brother Ye has a Sixth Grade Forbidden Martial Soul, regarding comprehension, it’s really hard to say."

"Touching just the shackles of the ’One-Sword Test’ is already the pinnacle among the epic Sword Dao prodigies of the Hundred Broken Mountain Range region. Junior Brother Ye, he... "

Undoubtedly, even though you know that figure’s Sword Intent comprehension is extremely terrifying, most senior brothers and sisters of the Divine Sword Sect still don’t believe that the junior brother can compel the "One-Sword Test" to descend.

It’s not that they aren’t confident in that figure, but rather that the Godslaying Sword is too terrifying. The conditions for the "One-Sword Test" are so harsh that few have met them over countless ages, not to mention they haven’t truly seen how far the other’s comprehension has reached.

If Jian Wushuang, Li Mofeng, Ke Zhenling, and others had witnessed Ye Xiaofan’s "Ten Elements Unification" comprehension like Luo Qingxian and Luo Qingchen, they might not hold such views.

To them, the idea that the junior brother could provoke the "One-Sword Test" is somewhat far-fetched, and as for the "Two-Sword Test," they don’t even dare to think about it.

Even Luo Qingxian and Luo Qingchen, in fact, are not confident in believing that the other could reach any particular realm. After all, that’s the Godslaying Sword; the "One-Sword Test" might be achievable, but having the "Two-Sword Test" descend, neither sibling has even considered it.
