861: Divine weapons and powerful tools, the more the better.

The sage sword has been in the Sword Pavilion for over a thousand years, but regrettably, no one has ever taken it.

As the Sword Emperor said, such a sacred artifact should display its brilliance and reappear in its full glory. If it were to gather dust in this Sword Emperor City, his sin would be too great.

Therefore, this time the Sword Emperor had him release news of the sage sword, hoping that someone capable would take it.

Taking the sage sword is no simple matter; in addition to requiring extraordinary strength, the most crucial point is to gain the sage sword's recognition.

Over the years, no one has ever received the sage sword's recognition; even the powerful Sword Emperor failed to gain its approval.

"What? There's a sacred artifact in the Sword Pavilion?"

"The sage sword? That sounds familiar. It seems to be a sacred weapon passed down in the Confucian Way. Legend has it that this sword was wielded by the Confucian Sage, but since the Confucian Sage hasn't appeared for a thousand years, the sage sword has never been seen again. I didn't expect it to be in the Sword Pavilion."

"As long as you defeat the guardian of the eighteenth floor, you can obtain the sage sword?"

Everyone was astonished upon hearing Mr. Shu's words.

A sacred artifact was hidden within the Sword Pavilion; how could anyone not be shocked?

Mr. Shu smiled gently, "Actually, not only is the sage sword on the eighteenth floor, but there is also a Confucian treasure on the seventeenth floor."

This statement caused even greater shock, and some people quietly spread the news.

A sacred artifact is worth fighting over for countless major powers and mighty figures. This item is in the Sword Pavilion, and the news must be spread immediately.

"The sage sword? Interesting!"

Xie Weilou smiled indifferently. A sacred artifact was right there in the pavilion; how could he miss it?

Xie Buxian asked, "Big Brother Xie is interested in that sword?"

Xie Weilou chuckled, "A sacred artifact has immeasurable value and cannot be missed. Of course, I have to give it a try. This time, your Big Brother needs to make a splash."

Sacred artifact?

He also possessed two: the god slaying thorn and the Barbarian God Bow. If he could acquire another, that would naturally be for the best.

The more divine weapons and sharp tools, the better. Who would complain about having too many?

As for being low-key?

That was just talk. Was Xie Weilou the kind of person who could be low-key?

Being low-key is a temporary thing, but being handsome is a lifelong thing. It's hard to be low-key even if he wanted to.

Xie Weilou stood up and looked at Mr. Shu, "As long as I defeat the guardian of the eighteenth floor, I can obtain the sage sword? Are there any requirements?"

Mr. Shu heard Xie Weilou's voice and replied, "There are no requirements. As long as you have strength, trump cards, and reliance, you can use them all. However, whether you can ultimately take the sword depends on whether the sage sword recognizes you."

The Sword Emperor dared to place the sage sword in the Sword Pavilion precisely because he was not afraid of someone forcibly taking the sword by relying on their cultivation, trump cards, or other means.

The sage sword is no ordinary sacred weapon; it contains the Way of Confucianism. Even if a mighty figure comes, if he does not gain the sage sword's recognition, he will find it difficult to take the sword.

"..."

Xie Weilou nodded. Sacred artifacts have spirits, and whether one can be recognized is the key.

Otherwise, even if one encounters a sacred artifact, it might not be possible to take it away.

Whoosh!

Xie Weilou took a step, instantly appearing above. He smiled faintly, "I am very interested in this sage sword. The guardians below the sixteenth floor can all attack together."

"Who is this person? Speaking such bold words, is he looking for death?"

"What a joke! This person looks incredibly young, probably similar in age to the Second Princess. He's also interested in the sage sword? Does he think he's stronger than the Second Princess?"

"Quite the opposite, this person has an extraordinary demeanor and doesn't seem simple at all. Since he dares to step forward, I estimate he has something to rely on."

Everyone looked at Xie Weilou, some with sneers, others with curiosity.

In this world, there is no shortage of show-offs and conceited individuals.

But in such a place, at such a time, anyone who dares to stand out should not be simple.

"..."

The Ye Linghuang looked at Xie Weilou, a strange glint in her eyes.

Who is this guy?

His tone certainly isn't small, but who knows what his strength is like?

Mr. Shu looked at Xie Weilou and smiled gently, "May I ask Young Brother's esteemed name?"

Not everyone is qualified to have the guardians below the sixteenth floor attack together.

If the other party were a favored son of heaven, then perhaps he would have some qualification.

Xie Weilou smiled faintly, "I am Xie Weilou."

"Xie Weilou? Who is that? Never heard of him."

"There are many favored sons of heaven in Central State, but there doesn't seem to be such a person."

"..."

Everyone looked at Xie Weilou in surprise, having never heard of such a person.

In fact, it was normal for them not to have heard of him, because their rank was too low, and they were not yet qualified to enter Xie Weilou's circle.

"Xie Weilou? He is actually Xie Weilou!"

A glint flashed in the Ye Linghuang's eyes.

For most people in this Sword Emperor City, their cultivation was too low, their world too small, and they had never even left Sword Emperor City, so it was normal for them not to know about things outside Central State.

But as a proud daughter of the imperial family, how could she not know of Xie Weilou's great name?

Speaking of the favored sons of heaven among the younger generation in the Eastern Wilderness, Xie Weilou definitely counted as one.

Even some old geezers in the imperial family occasionally mentioned Xie Weilou, and more crucially, this guy seemed to be the successor of the Marquis of Eight Desolations!

Who is the Marquis of Eight Desolations?

One of the Four Marquises of the Eastern Wasteland Dynasty, incredibly talented and brilliant, suppressing all directions. Even her master, the Spear Venerable, had to give way to the Marquis of Eight Desolations.

And when she saw the Marquis of Eight Desolations, she had to respectfully call him Imperial Uncle!

The current Marquis of Eight Desolations is a Marquis.

But many years ago, he was a Prince of the Eastern Wilderness imperial family, her imperial father's biological brother.

He was once sent to an imperial dynasty, governing the entire country, he was both a King and an Emperor!

The Kings of the Eastern Wilderness inherited their titles through succession.

However, every Marquis of the Eastern Wilderness earned their title through battle; none of them were simple individuals.

"They all say that Xie Weilou's combat strength is unparalleled, comparable to that of various Holy Sons. Perhaps today I can witness it."

The Ye Linghuang thought to herself. She really wanted to see if Xie Weilou was truly as extraordinary as the rumors claimed.

"Xie Weilou?"

A look of surprise appeared in Mr. Shu's eyes.

He had naturally heard this name. This was a heaven-defying genius who had suddenly emerged among the younger generation.

No one knew his true origins, but there were some shadows associated with him, such as the Reincarnation Sect and the Marquis of Eight Desolations!

"This Young Friend is not simple. Those below the sixteenth floor, attack together!"

Mr. Shu slowly spoke. Such a favored son of heaven naturally had the qualification to have everyone below the sixteenth floor attack together.

Bang!

The doors below the sixteenth floor of the Sword Pavilion opened one after another. Fifteen guardians, holding long swords, flew out and arrived at the bronze plaza on the fifteenth floor.

They had all been defeated in the previous battle with the Ye Linghuang, but their consumption was not as great as imagined. After recovering, they could still fight again.

"..."

Xie Weilou took a step, instantly appearing on the bronze plaza.
