122: The Emperor Sword comes with the Immortal Sword "Ask the Sky"

Lin Sheng shook his head.

"I thought about it too, but I have no confidence at all."

They already knew this was an Empress more powerful than an Immortal Emperor, but they didn't know she was crazy.

The reason for her madness wasn't some major setback.

It was simply that after she used the black lotus to advance to the Dao One Realm, she wasn't satisfied but became even greedier, wanting to claim the entire black lotus for herself.

She wanted to forcibly absorb it.

As a result, she suffered a backlash, her spirit underwent an irreversible shock, and her share of rationality became negligible.

"Indeed... at that level, a single mistake can lead to terrifying consequences."

Wen Qin sighed silently, a hint of shame appearing on her fair and charming face: "I was impulsive."

Lin Sheng waved his hand indifferently.

He no longer hesitated, circulating his immortal power to collect the ice block and put it into his spatial world.

The women gathered around, still somewhat uneasy.

"Is she really alright? Will she really break out of the ice?"

"What if she really gets out? Won't you be the first one she targets?"

Lin Sheng smiled slightly and said: "It's fine, that's Opening Heaven Extreme Ice. A mere Dao One Realm is not enough to break it from the inside."

Mere?

The women exchanged glances.

Lin Sheng knew how to let her out, but unless he had absolute certainty, that woman wouldn't get out for the rest of her life!

Just then.

Grand Elder Tianhai Longyue, wearing a light yellow cool summer dress, flew over and landed directly among the group.

"Heh call out~"

After landing, she glanced curiously at the somewhat bewildered women, then turned her gaze to Lin Sheng: "Little Holy Son, there's an old man outside looking for you. Judging by his aura, he seems quite strong."

"Ah?"

Lin Sheng was startled.

Soon, he arrived at the entrance of Changyue Restaurant.

With just a glance, he saw the golden-robed old man standing in the middle of the crowd outside, with white hair and beard and a kind face.

Isn't that... the sword spirit of the Ancient Human Emperor Sword?

—After that incident ended, the opportunity for this sword spirit to recognize a master was seized by Lin Sheng. Now, it seems the reward has finally been "delivered".

And the other party.

The moment he saw Lin Sheng, his face showed excitement and great joy.

"To think it's such a powerful, pure bloodline..."

My bloodline is mixed, and you say it's pure?

Lin Sheng was too lazy to retort. He stepped forward to face him, feigning confusion: "Old man, what do you need me for?"

"I, I, I..."

"I came to deliver a sword for a blacksmith Master."

The old man, the sword spirit of the Human Emperor Sword, flipped his hand, and a long sword appeared in his palm. The words "Ask Heaven" were engraved on the sword body, making it look like a treasure sword crafted by a folk artisan.

"There was a blacksmith Master who said he was from a sword-guarding clan, and their family has guarded this treasure sword for hundreds of generations. Some time ago, this treasure sword seemed to suddenly sense a master worthy of it and became active on its own."

"This blacksmith Master was very excited, feeling that their family's mission of several hundred generations was about to be completed. Guided by the treasure sword, he escorted it across mountains and rivers..."

"Unfortunately, his cultivation was too low to cross the Limitless Blue Sea, but luckily he met this old man, so this old man came to complete the final part of their family's mission."

Immortal swords have spirits.

After sensing Lin Sheng's aura, it was like a child who finally found its home. It excitedly flashed in front of Lin Sheng and circled around him joyfully in the air.

'The First Immortal Sword... Ask Heaven!'

This reward from completing the incident back then had finally arrived in his hands!

Moreover.

It was brought by another reward.

Lin Sheng extended his hand and spread his fingers. The Immortal Sword Ask Heaven consciously flashed over, its hilt obediently pressing against his palm.

He closed his fingers.

In an instant, it was as if countless insights into the sword path poured into his mind. He, who originally only had a preliminary understanding of swordsmanship due to the «Carefree Sword Mastery», suddenly entered the inner chambers of the art!

Holding this sword, he could easily cut through things like slicing melons and vegetables, and easily instantly kill large numbers of cultivators at the same realm!

And besides that.

He also felt a peaceful and tranquil aura from the Immortal Sword Ask Heaven. This was a holy sword of utmost purity and goodness.

Beside him.

Mu Xianyan, who had followed him out closely, saw the words "Ask Heaven" engraved on the sword, but her expression was very calm.

"That name sounds nice, and it looks pretty good too?"

"Of course."

Lin Sheng performed a sword flourish and then stored the sword in his Sea of Consciousness world.

The Sea of Consciousness world was his private space.

Inside were the newly acquired Immortal Sword and Sheng Long'er, who was currently absorbing the inheritance of previous Dragon Emperors.

"Thank you, old man, for traveling thousands of miles to deliver the sword."

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

The Human Emperor Sword spirit waved his hand with a smile. Seeing the young man in front of him about to turn back, his smile stiffened, and he quickly grabbed him: "Young man, young man, this old man has another small request."

"Oh? What is it?"

"This old man is actually a sword spirit, the sword spirit of a... well... a good sword. I also want to recognize you as my Master, what do you think..."

The Human Emperor Sword spirit originally wanted to say he was the Human Emperor Sword.

But remembering that last time, when he said it directly, no one believed his identity, and it even aroused suspicion from the other party.

Therefore, this time, to succeed, he decided not to reveal his identity first.

After all, the awesome Ancient Human Emperor Sword actively seeking a master without any requirements? Anyone would find that suspicious, right?

Lin Sheng looked at him, shook his head, and refused:

"No, one sword is enough for me."

The opportunities and rewards snatched from the Heavenly Mandated Protagonist by the system didn't all have to be accepted.

For example, this Human Emperor Sword.

Purely as a combat weapon, the Immortal Sword Ask Heaven completely surpasses it in all aspects.

There was no use for him to keep the Human Emperor Sword.

On the contrary.

It was very likely that carrying it would attract a lot of trouble: being demanded by Immortal Venerables and Immortal Emperors, being coveted by hidden enemies, being guarded by some unknown madmen wanting to elevate him to the position of Human Clan Emperor...

He didn't want to get involved with too many people.

"This... is that so... It's fine, it's fine."

The Human Emperor Sword spirit was clearly a bit dejected.

Lin Sheng thought for a moment and said: "Why do you have to find someone to be your master? Isn't it good to be your own master?"

"Ah?"

"Animals and plants that gain sentience and take human form are demons; they live for themselves. You are a weapon that gained sentience and took human form, why can't you live for yourself?"

"This..."

The Human Emperor Sword spirit had truly never thought of this point.

In his subconscious, sword spirits were simply meant to find masters.

Now, after hearing Lin Sheng's words, his mind was instantly struck by lightning, and his eyes widened abruptly.

The immortal energy between heaven and earth poured madly towards the top of his head like a funnel, and in an instant, the sky and earth changed color, and the clouds surged!

Rumble!

It was as if the entire world was roaring, and the originally clear sky was instantly covered by dark clouds.

Within the dark clouds, lightning flashed!

"Hahaha! I understand! I understand!"

The Human Emperor Sword spirit laughed up to the sky, and his cultivation suddenly surged.

As he laughed.

He seemed to regard the potential upcoming monstrous thunder tribulation as nothing!
