180: Side Story: The Sword Intent Deeds Left Behind by the First Emperor in His Youth

In Northern Shenzhou, Xuanhuang Heaven, a Transcendent Faction once ruled over everything here.

Qin Xianer arrived here, and a ten-thousand-mile chasm appeared before her eyes. The chasm was smooth and as deep as an abyss, as if it had been split open by a single sword strike.

Wisps of unending Sword Intent drifted out from the chasm.

This place was named the Sword Abyss.

Between the chasms, a majestic peak rose abruptly from the ground, piercing into the clouds like a sharp sword.

Ten Thousand Swords Peak.

A super-first-class faction occupied the Sword Abyss, utilizing the permeating Sword Intent for cultivation.

Within the Sword Abyss, many Ten Thousand Swords Peak Disciples were cultivating and comprehending Sword Intent using the Sword Intent within the abyss.

Ten thousand years had passed since the eradication of the Evil Clan. Qin Xianer had also traveled through the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms, walking the paths Qin Gelan had once trodden, and had now arrived at the Sword Abyss.

And this Sword Abyss was precisely where the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land had once been.

"A single sword strike my father delivered in his youth has unexpectedly benefited future generations."

Qin Xianer looked at the Sword Abyss; even with her cultivation, she could feel the vastness of the Sword Intent here.

"I heard that Master once destroyed a faction here, and at that time, Master was only in the Immortal Venerable Realm."

A middle-aged man wearing a star-patterned robe appeared beside Qin Xianer.

"After father attained the status of Human Sovereign, the Sword Qi here seemed to undergo a kind of sublimation, so this place became a Holy Land for Sword Cultivators in the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms."

Qin Xianer's clear and beautiful eyes flickered, seemingly sensing a Sword Intent of the same origin, and the Heaven's Inch in her hand trembled slightly.

The Star-Forging Illusory Dragon nodded and said, "Perhaps because of Karma, the Sword Intent Master once left behind has also become stronger accordingly."

Just then, several young people arrived and saw Qin Xianer and the Star-Forging Illusory Dragon.

"Who are you to dare intrude into our Ten Thousand Swords Peak's training ground!"

There were four men and two women in total. When the male Disciples saw Qin Xianer's ethereal and peerless face, a look of amazement flashed in their eyes.

Even the two female Disciples couldn't help but look sideways at Qin Xianer.

"This is our Ten Thousand Swords Peak's training ground. Where did this thieving woman come from, daring to intrude!"

Su Yue, the granddaughter of the Ten Thousand Swords Peak Grand Elder, was a very jealous person. Seeing Qin Xianer's peerless temperament, she became even more envious.

Hearing this, Qin Xianer frowned slightly and ignored her, turning to leave instead.

"Thieving woman, how dare you ignore me." Su Yue attacked Qin Xianer with a sword.

Slap!

An abrupt slap sent Su Yue flying.

This slap was delivered by the Star-Forging Illusory Dragon, who didn't use any cultivation.

But even so, Su Yue's head was left buzzing from the slap.

The others hadn't even reacted to this slap, and they hadn't even seen the Star-Forging Illusory Dragon make a move.

Su Yue was, after all, an expert in the Immortal King Realm, considered among the highly talented at Ten Thousand Swords Peak.

Moreover, Su Yue's grandfather, the Ten Thousand Swords Peak Grand Elder, was a powerhouse in the Immortal Emperor Realm, a figure of power even in Shenzhou.

"If my Princess hadn't told me not to kill easily, I would have slapped you to death just now."

The Star-Forging Illusory Dragon looked at Su Yue with cold eyes.

Su Yue clutched her face and gritted her teeth, looking at Qin Xianer with a sinister expression, her face somewhat distorted: "Bitch! How dare you hit me, I want you dead!"

"Kill her!" Su Yue turned to look at the other Disciples.

The Ten Thousand Swords Peak Disciples looked at each other, somewhat caught in a dilemma. The ethereal and peerless woman before them clearly had an extraordinary background.

They were not like Su Yue, who had an Immortal Emperor grandfather.

A cold light flashed in the Star-Forging Illusory Dragon's eyes. He reached out and grabbed Su Yue in an instant, lifting her up.

"To dare speak disrespectfully to the Princess—since the Princess was born, you are the first." Killing intent erupted from the Star-Forging Illusory Dragon's eyes.

"Grandfather... save me..." Su Yue cried out with difficulty.

Boom~

A majestic aura enveloped the area.

The Ten Thousand Swords Peak Disciples all showed looks of horror in their eyes.

An Immortal Emperor had arrived!

An old man stood in the sky like a god, seemingly looking down on all living beings like ants.

"For Your Excellency to be so presumptuous at my Ten Thousand Swords Peak, capturing and attempting to kill my granddaughter—do you not have any respect for my Ten Thousand Swords Peak?"

The old man looked at the Star-Forging Illusory Dragon; he actually couldn't see through the Star-Forging Illusory Dragon's cultivation.

"Grandfather... kill this bitch." Su Yue cried out.

Killing intent erupted from the Star-Forging Illusory Dragon, and he directly obliterated Su Yue.

"You!" Su Qi hadn't even reacted; he didn't expect the Star-Forging Illusory Dragon to dare kill his granddaughter right in front of him.

The other Disciples were also shocked to their cores. With an Immortal Emperor present, this person still dared to kill someone in front of Su Qi.

"What is Ten Thousand Swords Peak worth? The moment she insulted the Princess, she was already a dead person." The Star-Forging Illusory Dragon spoke indifferently.

Su Qi's expression turned cold as he looked at Qin Xianer and said chillingly, "No matter where you come from, today this old man will make you and the faction behind you pay the price."

Immediately, the pressure of an Immortal Emperor bore down towards Qin Xianer.

However, Qin Xianer remained standing where she was, as if the Immortal Emperor's pressure had no effect on her at all.

Just then, a hand reached out directly towards Su Qi.

Su Qi suddenly felt as if a piece of the world was pressing down on him, and he had no power to resist at all.

The Star-Forging Illusory Dragon held Su Qi in his hand.

Su Qi was instantly terrified. By now, he realized that he had provoked someone he shouldn't have.

"Stop!"

The aura of another High-Rank Immortal Emperor manifested in the world.

"Sect Master!" Su Qi shouted toward a middle-aged man in the void.

The Sect Master of Ten Thousand Swords Peak, Chen Jianyi.

"Your Excellency, can we let today's matter go?" Chen Jianyi looked at the Star-Forging Illusory Dragon.

"It seems you think Ten Thousand Swords Peak has a lot of face?"

The Star-Forging Illusory Dragon sneered at Chen Jianyi.

Chen Jianyi frowned and was about to speak when an aura even more powerful than his appeared.

"Feng Xiao!" Chen Jianyi's expression changed.

Could this person have been sent by Feng Xiao?

However, Feng Xiao's next action left Chen Jianyi utterly shocked.

"Feng Xiao of Shenmu Holy Land did not know the Princess had arrived and is late to receive her. Please punish me, Princess."

Feng Xiao came before Qin Xianer and knelt on both knees, his forehead touching the ground, as if he didn't dare raise his head without Qin Xianer's command.

Feng Xiao's actions made Chen Jianyi break into a cold sweat. Although he didn't know who this woman was that made Feng Xiao act this way, he could tell with his toes that she had an extraordinary background.

"Shenmu Holy Land? Aunt Shen's subordinate?" Qin Xianer looked at Feng Xiao before her.

At Qin Xianer's question, Feng Xiao finally dared to raise his head, but he didn't dare look directly at her. He said respectfully, "The Princess has a Wisdom Eye. This humble one is indeed a servant of the Asura Venerable."

Feng Xiao had also sensed the commotion just now. When he saw it was Qin Xianer, he rushed over immediately.

Ten thousand years ago, Feng Xiao went from befriending the Shen Family at the start to later becoming a vassal of the Shen Family.

During an opportunity while following Shen Yan, he had seen this Heavenly Palace Princess from afar and recognized her at a glance.

At this moment, cold sweat was pouring down Chen Jianyi's forehead. The Asura Venerable was a renowned Extreme Dao Supreme Being in the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms.

Could this woman be the offspring of the Asura Venerable?

But he had never heard of the Asura Venerable having a Dao Companion.

Su Qi was also trembling with fear. The Asura Venerable—even in the entire Central Heavenly Domain, not many people dared to provoke that existence.

And this woman called the Asura Venerable "Aunt Shen." If Su Yue were still alive, Su Qi would have wanted to slap that fool to death himself.

While Chen Jianyi and Su Qi were letting their thoughts run wild.

Immortal Emperors arrived one after another through the air, and even a Demon Emperor from Demon Emperor Mountain hurried over. Nowadays, Demon Emperor Mountain had replaced the former Hall of Gods.

"This is... a Supreme..."

Chen Jianyi felt an aura that seemed to tear through the myriad Daos, and his legs couldn't help but tremble.

"The Great Yan Dynasty pays respects to the Princess!"

"Huayue Sect pays respects to the Princess!"

"Taitian Sect pays respects to the Princess!"

"Tiangou of Demon Emperor Mountain, along with the demons, pays respects to the Princess!"

Factions from all over came voluntarily, landing one after another and bowing to Qin Xianer, their voices resounding and filled with utmost respect.

Even the Supreme Tiangou of Demon Emperor Mountain had come, and every single one of them bore a look of respect.

The various factions had initially just been watching. When Feng Xiao knelt, the leaders of the various factions could no longer sit still and hurriedly sent Divine Thought transmissions to inquire about her background.

When they learned that Qin Xianer was the Princess of the Heavenly Palace, they were instantly shocked and rushed over to pay their respects.

"Chen Jianyi, your Ten Thousand Swords Peak is quite bold to actually dare offend the Princess!"

"Chen Jianyi, for offending the Princess, we cannot let you remain!"

"Ten Thousand Swords Peak should be destroyed!"

"That's right! Ten Thousand Swords Peak should be destroyed! Back then, the Human Sovereign left his Sword Intent here in his youth, which led to the creation of your Ten Thousand Swords Peak. Now you actually dare to offend the Princess—your crime is inexcusable!"

The leaders of the various factions began to berate him one after another.

By now, how could Chen Jianyi and Su Qi not know the identity of the person before them?

The Little Princess of the Heavenly Palace, the Human Sovereign's most beloved daughter. In this world, who would dare to provoke her?

Su Qi's eyes went dark, and his heart felt like dead ashes.

Having offended the Princess of the Heavenly Palace, one could imagine the consequences.

"Princess, this humble one was foolish and did not know of your arrival. This matter was the personal behavior of Su Yue and Su Qi; I was completely unaware." Chen Jianyi knelt directly, cursing Su Qi's ancestors up and down in his heart.

"Please be merciful, Princess. If Chen Jianyi had known Your Excellency was here, how would I have dared to be even slightly presumptuous."

Then, Chen Jianyi looked at Su Qi and shouted coldly, "You, Su Qi, how dare you offend the Princess and even use the name of my Ten Thousand Swords Peak. I cannot let you remain today!"

Boom!

With a single palm strike, he obliterated Su Qi's Divine Soul. Chen Jianyi knelt before Qin Xianer once again.

"Princess, what do you think?" Tiangou looked at Chen Jianyi.

The other faction leaders also looked at Chen Jianyi, radiating killing intent. This was the best opportunity to curry favor with the Princess. As long as the Princess gave the word, they would instantly tear Chen Jianyi to pieces.

"Forget it, let this matter end here."

Qin Xianer spoke indifferently. She had originally wanted to walk the path her father had once taken, but she hadn't expected to encounter such a thing, and now she was no longer in the mood.

"Thank you for your mercy, Princess!"

Hearing Qin Xianer's words, Chen Jianyi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed his head, not daring to raise it.

The major factions looked at Chen Jianyi and secretly thought it was a pity. If Ten Thousand Swords Peak were eradicated, they could have divided the Sword Abyss among themselves.

After all, the Sword Abyss contained the Sword Intent left by the Human Sovereign back then.

"Little sister, so you were here. Xi Niang is looking for you." A playful voice came.

A figure that could enchant all living beings appeared.

"Greetings, Third Princess!"

"Greetings, Third Princess!"

Qin Xiaoxiao and Jiuying appeared. Qin Xiaoxiao ignored the others and looked at Qin Xianer with a smile.

"Third Sister!"

Qin Xianer smiled, looking very happy.

This Third Sister spent most of the year in the Heavenly Demon Territory discussing the Dao with the Sea God. She hadn't expected her to return to the Central Heavenly Domain now.

"It seems father is making a move, since he's even called you back."

Qin Xianer looked at Qin Xiaoxiao, her thoughts running deep.

Sure enough, Qin Gelan's transmission arrived.

"Xiao Xiao, Xian'er, the celestial secret of the Virgo Constellation has been revealed. The Heaven Beyond Heaven will be the best place for your training."
