Chapter 1073: Chapter 1069: Experiment

Li Hongzhao turned her head to look at Chu Zhiyuan, chuckling and shaking her head, ”I’m really foolish not to have thought of it.”

Chu Zhiyuan stared at the distant void, ”Thought of what?”

The Emperor’s Sword resembled a collapsed skyscraper, hovering above the void, ready to descend at any moment.

The imposing aura was overwhelming, making observers feel an inexplicable sense of awe and insignificance, wanting only to kneel and plead for mercy, devoid of any will to resist.

Li Hongzhao snorted, ”Only the Emperor’s Sword can deal with the Emperor’s Sword, and in this world, those daring to oppose my Emperor’s Sword are probably only Da Zhen and Da Jing.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”What about Da Jian and Da Lie?”

”Their Emperor’s Swords pose no threat to me, and I also know why the emperors of Da Jing and Da Zhen want to deal with me.”

”Why?” Chu Zhiyuan was puzzled, ”Even with the Emperor’s Sword clashing, a victory would be a pyrrhic one, wouldn’t the cost be too great?”

Li Hongzhao snorted, ”Unless there’s a greater benefit.”

Chu Zhiyuan frowned in confusion, ”What could be greater than ascension?”

”What if they don’t want to ascend?” Li Hongzhao said.

Chu Zhiyuan pondered in silence.

He knew the Emperor of Da Jing did not want to ascend; he had clearly told him so.

The Emperor of Da Jing said his talent was mediocre, and even with the Emperor’s Sword, he might not ascend successfully and instead face peril.

But he didn’t want to pass on the throne immediately, planning to do so ten years later to him.

There was some mystery in this, but it was never explained further.

Li Hongzhao said, ”After I decided to ascend, I’ve been gaining more and more secrets these days.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

The spiritual nature of the Emperor’s Sword was sufficient to pass down some common knowledge to the sword master, which was not surprising.

He suspected that this clone of the Emperor’s Sword was a spiritual treasure.

And the intelligence of spiritual treasures varied; some were even smarter than humans.

Li Hongzhao said, ”After ascending with the Emperor’s Sword, I will become a disciple of the Celestial Sword Sect in Biyuan Heaven and continue my cultivation.”

Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow.

Li Hongzhao said, ”With inadequate talent, the situation at the Celestial Sword Sect might not be so pleasant, and it would be better to stay here.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”But staying here, the lifespan isn’t that long.”

Li Hongzhao snorted, ”Some people value lifespan, and some don’t. Is it better to live longer in frustration or live shorter with joy? If it were you, which would you choose?”

”Live a little longer,” Chu Zhiyuan said.

Li Hongzhao gave him a sidelong glance, ”I don’t believe you.”

She believed Chu Zhiyuan would definitely choose the latter, preferring to live a shorter but more joyful life.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”That depends on whether there’s hope or not. Without hope, living longer is just suffering.”

Li Hongzhao said, ”Your grandfather and the current emperor of Da Zhen both have ordinary talent and don’t want to ascend to Biyuan Heaven to enter the Celestial Sword Sect, which is not surprising.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”They don’t want to ascend, and they don’t want you to either?”

Li Hongzhao snorted, ”They don’t know I want to ascend; they just want to get rid of me.”

Chu Zhiyuan slowly said, ”Do they think your being emperor is too much of a threat?”

Li Hongzhao proudly smiled, ”I’m doing quite well as the emperor, aren’t I? Scared them out of their wits.”

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled, ”This has led to mortal danger... Even if you tell them now you plan to ascend, they won’t stop.”

Li Hongzhao said, ”They won’t.”

”Sigh—!” Chu Zhiyuan sighed and shook his head.

With two Emperor’s Swords combined, killing the master of one Emperor’s Sword, they must be very confident.

After all, they’ve cultivated for many years, while Li Hongzhao has only just become emperor.

The Emperor’s Sword is likely not yet fully mastered, and they plan to act while Li Hongzhao is still weak; otherwise, it will be more challenging in the future.

Therefore, it’s almost impossible to persuade them not to act.

His own influence wasn’t that significant.

Li Hongzhao said, ”Looks like I have to fight for my life today, kill your grandfather, and don’t blame me.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Let’s go.”

”Go?” Li Hongzhao said, ”Once the Emperor’s Sword locks on, it’s hard to escape, isn’t it?”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”We are leaving.”

He wrapped his arm around Li Hongzhao’s slender waist, and the two of them vanished in a flash.

The next moment, they appeared on a mountaintop, with no Emperor’s Sword hovering in the sky.

Li Hongzhao took a brief look around, ”Where is this?”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Crane Peak, southeast of Da Jing.”

Li Hongzhao laughed, ”Am I supposed to hide from them forever? ... I guess they’ll be waiting for me in Tianjing.”

”Might as well not return to Tianjing,” Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Ascend directly here.”

Li Hongzhao hesitated.

She had also thought about this; if things became unbearable, she would ascend outside directly.

Whether in Tianjing or above the Imperial Palace, ascending to Biyuan Heaven and the Celestial Sword Sect, who cares about the situation here?

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”If it really doesn’t work, then we can only have a good talk with the Emperor of Da Zhen.”

Even though he had now cultivated the true legacy of the Taiqing Primordial Sect, mastering the Earth Origin Technique and Human Element Skill, he still wasn’t confident to win over the Emperor’s Sword.

After all, in this world, the spiritual energy is sparse, and the powers of Outer Heaven Martial Arts couldn’t be fully utilized.

The Startled Swan Divine Finger could handle ordinary experts but couldn’t suppress the Emperor’s Sword.

He had his own protection from the Dragon Soaring Bell and the Human Element Skill, so he wasn’t afraid of the Emperor’s Sword.

Therefore, to deal with the Emperor of Da Zhen, he needs to specifically play to his strengths and avoid weaknesses, a bluff.

Li Hongzhao lightly frowned, shaking her head, ”Then I won’t ascend in Tianjing.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Why not attack me with a sword and test me?”

Li Hongzhao looked at him curiously.

Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded, ”Come on.”

Li Hongzhao extended her jade hand, making a gesture heavenward.

The vast Emperor’s Sword in the void quickly shrunk, transforming into a stream of light that entered her right hand.

It was an ancient, plain longsword.

The blade had no edge, expertly crafted yet appearing unworked.

The sword’s body was carved with various patterns and many intricate designs.

Chu Zhiyuan’s eyes sparkled with brilliance.

This sword bore divine language!

The two words were ”Sovereign Sword.”

This Emperor’s Sword should not be called the Emperor’s Sword; it is the Sovereign Sword!

...

”Swish!”

Li Hongzhao swung her sword.

A crack appeared in the void before Chu Zhiyuan, rapidly spreading outwards.

Chu Zhiyuan found himself unable to move, watching helplessly as the crack spread towards him.

A strong sense of danger immediately emerged.

He flicked his finger.

”Swish!”

In a light whistling sound, a forceful finger collided with the spreading crack, only to be silently obliterated.

The crack continued spreading towards him.

He no longer used his fingers or his sword; when the crack approached, he swung his palm.

”Pop!”

A crisp and distant sound, like a pebble dropping into a deep pond.

The crack in the void disappeared instantly, leaving only a ring of ripples spreading outwards.

A fierce wind howled immediately.

Li Hongzhao and Chu Zhiyuan were enveloped in the wind, their clothes flapping loudly.

Dust and rocks flew around them, trees were uprooted, and large roots along with sand and mud flew outward.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred-meter radius around them was cleared.

Li Hongzhao looked at him in amazement.

Chu Zhiyuan also regarded Li Hongzhao with admiration, ”How much strength did you use?”

This violent force entered the Bihai and Lantian in the Lao Gong Acupoint, immediately forming a fierce wind.

Bihai surged, Lantian remained unchanged, and the trees and grass on the small island swayed unstably.

It was as if a storm arose over the sea.

”Thirty percent,” Li Hongzhao said.

She felt that Chu Zhiyuan could withstand this thirty percent of strength, but she hadn’t expected it to be so effortless.

”Again,” Chu Zhiyuan said, ”fifty percent strength.”

”Okay.”

”Swish!”

”Pop!”

”Woo...”

The wind howled, and all strange rocks and trees within a two hundred meter radius were swept away.

Apart from the stone under their feet, the earth around them was forcibly scraped away by one foot.

”Sixty percent strength,” Chu Zhiyuan said.

”Pop!”

”Wooo...”

Amidst the fierce wind, the peak beneath their feet was forcibly shaved by two meters.

The stone they stood on remained, but the soil underneath it had been swept away.
