Supreme Sword God

Chapter 514: Chapter 513: The Ultimate Dao, Jinghong Sword!

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen’s words left Grandmaster Mu Yi at a loss for words.

”Grandmaster Mu, is there something challenging about this?”

Mu Yi said, ”If Young Master Ye requires a supreme Dao Sword, not to mention just one, even ten, I can gather them in a short time. But as for the absolute pinnacle of supreme Dao Swords...

I won’t hide this from Young Master Ye. Although the world considers me the top artifact refiner in Cangzhou and I’m confident in holding that title, when it comes to swords, the utmost pinnacle of supreme Dao Swords remains that Jinghong in the Celestial Soldier Pavilion!

Even if I mastered the Chaotic Cloak Celestial Spirit Hammer taught by Young Master Ye and one day forged a Sacred Artifact, in the realm of sword-making, I’m not sure I can exceed the level of the Jinghong Sword.

In the realm of supreme Dao Swords, the Jinghong Sword in the Celestial Soldier Pavilion stands as the ultimate!

Over the years, I’ve often traveled to various continents, mingling with many grandmaster artifact refiners, and anyone who knows of the Jinghong Sword holds immense admiration for it!”

Hearing Grandmaster Mu Yi’s statement, Ye Chen grew deeply interested in the Jinghong Sword of the Celestial Soldier Pavilion.

After all, for someone like Grandmaster Mu Yi, who is so proud, to esteem the Jinghong Sword so highly, it is enough to prove its extraordinariness!

This kind of top-notch supreme Dao Sword, if fused with my Celestial Mark Sword, might break through its limit and become a Sacred Artifact!

”Grandmaster Mu, what is so special about the Jinghong Sword?” Ye Chen asked.

Mu Yi replied, ”The Jinghong Sword was forged from an extraordinary celestial stone, going through a hundred years of refinement. When unsheathed, it emits a rainbow light, with Sword Qi resplendent, and its edge unmatched!

Moreover, the Jinghong Sword has an extremely unique aspect; it harbors no Sword Spirit. Anyone who can wield its edge can cultivate a Sword Spirit by their will.

In other words, the kind of Sword Spirit you need can be entirely chosen based on your own circumstances.

This sword was crafted over six hundred years ago, but it has always been housed in the treasury of the Celestial Soldier Pavilion, and to this day, no one has managed to wield its edge!”

Ye Chen was overjoyed, feeling as though it were tailor-made for him.

The Jinghong Sword lacks a Sword Spirit, which is perfect since he requires no Sword Spirit, for the Celestial Mark Sword already harbors one.

He just needs to use the Sword Control Celestial Scripture to devour and fuse with the Jinghong Sword.

Because the Celestial Mark Sword is his Lifebound Sword, and due to the tear-stained mark on the hilt, Ye Chen could never abandon the Celestial Mark Sword.

However, Ye Chen had his doubts, asking, ”Grandmaster Mu, such a top-tier supreme Dao Sword would intrigue even a Saint Realm Powerhouse, wouldn’t it? Is it possible that even a Saint Realm Powerhouse cannot handle its edge?”

Though Saint Realm Powerhouses in Cangzhou are few, there are still some.

Sacred Artifacts are even rarer since in such a vast Cangzhou, there isn’t even a single artifact refiner capable of crafting Sacred Artifacts.

Thus, the Jinghong Sword would naturally captivate many Saint Realm Powerhouses!

But Grandmaster Mu Yi mentioned that no one has ever managed to wield the Jinghong Sword’s edge, which seemed quite odd.

Mu Yi sighed and said, ”You see, Young Master Ye, the forging process of this sword took an extremely long time. By the time the artifact refiner succeeded, he was already exhausted. Before his demise, he instructed that only those below the Heaven-Reaching Realm could claim the sword.

Because he believed that only someone below the Heaven-Reaching Realm who could wield the Jinghong Sword’s edge would not disgrace it!”

Ye Chen asked, ”Grandmaster Mu, how do I go to the Celestial Soldier Pavilion to claim the sword?!”

”Young Master Ye truly wants to try? With the Cyan Cloud Banquet imminent, obtaining the sword now may not be very suitable, especially when that sword’s edge is immensely powerful. If it were to accidentally harm you...”

Ye Chen replied, ”As a swordsman, knowing the existence of such a sword, I cannot remain unmoved. If I don’t even have the courage to claim the sword, then I can no longer use any sword in the future!”

Mu Yi thought for a moment and said, ”Given my current relationship with the Celestial Soldier Pavilion, if Young Master Ye wishes to try taking the sword, it’s just a matter of a word. I’ll personally take Young Master Ye there!”

”Then I owe it to Grandmaster Mu.”

”There’s no need for thanks, Young Master Ye. If not for your wish to keep Celestial Master Chen’s identity hidden, such things could be resolved with just a word.”

......

A moment later.

Ye Chen, accompanied by Mu Baoming, and Grandmaster Mu Yi, left the Mu Mansion, heading towards the headquarters of the Celestial Soldier Pavilion.

The one responsible for receiving Grandmaster Mu Yi was none other than Liu Hong, the Ninth Pavilion Master, with whom Ye Chen had some prior interactions!

”Pavilion Master Liu,” Ye Chen greeted.

Liu Hong was quite surprised to see Ye Chen.

Back then, when Ye Chen came to participate in the True Martial Hall’s assessment, he arrived on their Celestial Soldier Pavilion’s cloud ship. Despite an accident along the way, Liu Hong rushed to help, almost meeting disaster himself.

Fortunately, the Battling Monk arrived in time.

Liu Hong thought the Battling Monk was Ye Chen’s Guardian, which caused him to treat Ye Chen exceptionally well afterward.

However, being the Ninth Pavilion Master of the Celestial Soldier Pavilion, he didn’t go out of his way to curry favor with Ye Chen, but this didn’t mean Liu Hong hadn’t been paying attention to Ye Chen’s affairs.

”Young Master Ye, over the past half-year, I’ve been hearing stories about your exploits, truly an impressive young talent. Initially, I hoped Qi Mo would arrange a time for us to reminisce, but I didn’t expect you to visit the Celestial Soldier Pavilion today; it seems it’s meant to be.”

It was merely a pleasantry, and Ye Chen was good at it too.

”Pavilion Master Liu is busy with his duties daily. I intended to pay a visit, but worried it might be too abrupt and cause a disturbance. Luckily, I came along with Grandmaster Mu today and met Pavilion Master Liu, proving indeed it is fate.”

Ye Chen spoke, then looked towards Mu Yi.

The idle talk was tedious, and his gaze signaled Mu Yi to get straight to the point!

Mu Yi cleared his throat lightly and said, ”Pavilion Master Liu, Young Master Ye and my son are close friends. Young Master Ye came to my Mu Mansion seeking a sword, but I felt that given Young Master Ye’s exceptional Sword Dao talent, our Mu Mansion’s swords might not suit him. As such, I brought him here in hopes Pavilion Master Liu can make arrangements for Young Master Ye to try the Jinghong Sword of the Celestial Soldier Pavilion!”

Upon hearing this, Liu Hong’s eyes gleamed.

Grandmaster Mu Yi, known for his peculiar temperament, came in search of a sword for Ye Chen?

Simply because of Ye Chen’s good relationship with Mu Baoming?

Liu Hong chuckled, ”The Jinghong Sword has always rested within its sheath, a significant regret of our Celestial Soldier Pavilion. We too hope for it to find a worthy master.

Moreover, since Grandmaster Mu made this request for a prodigious talent like Young Master Ye, naturally there’s no problem at all. However... I would still ask Grandmaster Mu and Young Master Ye to wait another two days.”

”Why?” Mu Yi asked.

Liu Hong replied, ”Due to the imminent Cyan Cloud Banquet, currently Tianzang City is packed with outstanding talents. To be honest, there are many seeking the Jinghong Sword.

Thus, our Grand Pavilion Master has issued instructions that in two days, there will be a unified arrangement for everyone to try to claim the sword.”

Mu Yi glanced at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen nodded, saying, ”Since that’s the case, I will return to the Celestial Soldier Pavilion in two days to claim the sword!”
