Chapter 966:
Ten Xuanyuan Swords were laid side by side on the table, each glowing with different hues due to their unique enchantments. The one glowing blue had water elemental magic damage; the one glowing red had added strength; the one glowing green had added agility, and so on. The table was a kaleidoscope of colors.
The masters present were somewhat bewildered. Xuanyuan Swords! These were the legendary Xuanyuan Swords! They had initially thought that they would need to combine all the Xuanyuan Black Iron ores they had, even taking those from the dark sect masters, to forge a single sword. To their surprise, the ores they had alone had produced ten swords.
A Shaolin monk looked up and said, Xuanyuan Swords! Are they cabbages? Popping up in bunches?
A Wudang Taoist was also awkwardly embarrassed, This is too easy. The legend says that Emperor Xuanyuan used the Three True Flames to forge the sword from Xuanyuan Black Iron, laboring for 81 days. How come you just rub your hands and produce a table full?
Robb replied, I have no idea! Anyway, the ten of you with the highest martial arts skills, come and take one each. Lets go kill Chi You first, and then well talk.
The crowd was speechless. Alright, lets distribute the swords then.
Unlike the dark sect masters who would fight over anything, these orthodox masters were quite disciplined. Ten people were chosen, including the Shaolin monk, the Wudang Taoist, and the old master of the Qiantang Sect. Each took a Xuanyuan Sword.
When each person first held the sword, their faces involuntarily showed a strange expressionsomewhat impulsive, somewhat greedy, as if they couldnt help but want to turn around and run with the sword. However, being orthodox masters, their character triumphed over their desires, and they did nothing to disgrace themselves.
Robb clapped his hands, Alright, the ten of you with swords, lets go find Chi You. As for those without swords, please stay behind and deal with the ghost invaders. The dark sect masters are already dealing with them. If you orthodox people dont step up, how can you mock the dark sect later?
Everyone thought, fair point!
The ten orthodox masters with swords accompanied Robb to find Chi You, while those without swords formed a small guerrilla team, heading towards the small coastal towns, just like the dark sect masters.
As Robb was about to set off with the ten orthodox masters, he saw Shisu and a large group of dark sect female rabbit people voluntarily following him.
He couldnt help but smile, You all go too. After all, I didnt capture you as hostages. You should have already felt that I wont harm you. The dark sect masters are already voluntarily dealing with the ghosts, so you dont need to follow.
The female rabbit people giggled, Its precisely because you wont do anything to us that we want to go and see. How can we miss such an exciting event? Besides, the moment Chi You is slain, we should transform back into human form. Appearance is crucial for women; we want to be mentally prepared for the transformation. If were not present, we cant prepare ourselves.
Fair point!
Appearance is extremely important for women. They spend hours every day on makeup and choosing outfits before going out to perform heroic deeds. This is one reason why women are generally less skilled in martial arts than men. If you spend hours on grooming while men are constantly practicing, how can you possibly be stronger?
Lets go, lets go! Robb said, Im actually quite curious to see what youll look like when you transform back into humans.
Shisu muttered softly, I was originally the Number 1 beauty in East Hangzhou. If I transform back and Im no longer the most beautiful, that would be a huge loss.
Robb: Hmm? What did you say?
Shisu: I said, its everyones responsibility to eliminate demons and defend the Dao.
Pusan, not the one in Korea, but an ancient mountain range in the southern part of Big Tang, where the minority rabbit people reside.
At this moment, in a small valley deep within Pusan, the ancient demon god Chi You was digging into the earth with his hands. He dug at an astonishing speed, quickly creating a large pit. In this region of Pusan, he had already dug thousands of such pits.
Ever since the Leifeng Pagoda was toppled and he escaped from beneath it, he had been digging in these mountains for one purpose: to find his weapon, the Dustless Sword.
Legend has it that after the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan defeated Chi You, he was sealed beneath Pusan. However, this rumor is incorrect. Chi You was actually sealed under the Leifeng Pagoda, while what was sealed beneath Pusan was his weaponthe Dustless Sword.
Five thousand years of geological changes had blurred his memory of the swords location, so he had no choice but to keep searching, digging holes everywhere in the hopes of finding it.
He firmly believed that the day he found the Dustless Sword would be the day he would rise again and rule the world.
At that moment, he punched the ground and suddenly heard a metallic humming sound from below, as if an empty bronze vessel had been vibrated by his palm force.
Overjoyed, Chi You redoubled his efforts and dug even more vigorously.
Soon, a bronze cauldron appeared before him.
The Divine Farmers Cauldron! Chi You was ecstatic, Ive found the Divine Farmers Cauldron, hahaha, that means Im about to find my Dustless Sword too.
As it turned out, the Dustless Sword had long been refined into a magic tool by Chi You. When Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan originally sealed the sword, he dug a deep pit to place it in, preventing the sentient artifact from flying off to find its master. He then placed the Divine Farmers Cauldron on top of the sword to keep it in place.
Unearthing the Divine Farmers Cauldron meant that Chi You had also found the Dustless Sword.
With a forceful push of his palms against the Divine Farmers Cauldron, he aimed to dislodge it. The cauldron, a magic tool of Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, was incredibly powerful and nearly immovable by ordinary people. However, Chi Yous strength was only slightly inferior to that of the Yellow Emperor. Even if the Emperor himself were present, Chi You could exchange thousands of blows with him. So, what difficulty would there be in moving an artifact that didnt even have a master?
With a thunderous noise, the Divine Farmers Cauldron was toppled to one side!
Chi You reached into the mud beneath the cauldron and grasped. A series of eerie wails and howls filled the air as he pulled out the pitch-black Dustless Sword. In an instant, the heavens and the earth seemed to change color; the entire world appeared to dim slightly.
Chi You burst into laughter, Hahaha! I, Chi You, have returned! Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan has already ascended to immortality, and the Xuanyuan Sword has long been lost to the river of time. There is no one left in this world who can restrain me, hahaha!
