184: Two-second time stop! Eternal Emperor Armor!

Just as everyone's attention was focused on Sword Master, waiting for him to reveal the reason Su Yang chose Rebirth back then, Sword Master's sturdy shoulders twitched.

"Back then, master only left three instructions. One was, 'Only in the next life will there be a chance!' One was, 'Before you return, accumulate as much power as possible!' The other was, 'Have people guard the battlefield Seal, and absolutely do not let the Seal loosen!'

"Only in the next life will there be a chance?"

Everyone repeated this sentence, pondering its meaning.

Does this sentence mean that Su Yang has already lost a lot of power and can no longer fight the mastermind behind the scenes? Or does it mean that even if he doesn't undergo Rebirth to return to his Peak, he still can't fight the mastermind?

Su Yang pondered for a moment and said to Sword Master, "Sword Master, I have no memories now. I came to you this time to retrieve my former memories. Did I entrust my memories to you at the last moment when I chose Rebirth? Or did I tell you any other important things? Like what incredible thing I discovered?"

Sword Master said, "Master, just call this old servant Jian Kui."

"Jian Kui, tell me."

Su Yang was not in the mood to care about such things.

Sword Master's expression became very intriguing. He said, "Regarding master's memories, this old servant will explain in detail later. As for what master discovered... this old servant doesn't know either! But there is one thing that this old servant remembers very clearly."

"Thirty thousand years ago, just before you voluntarily chose Reincarnation, you paused the time of the entire Myriad Spirits Realm for two seconds. During those two seconds, you only left a wisp of Divine Soul in your main body; the vast majority of your remaining Divine Soul disappeared, and even this old servant doesn't know where your Divine Soul went."

"After two seconds, the time in the Myriad Spirits Realm resumed its flow. The wisp of Divine Soul remaining in your body very solemnly told this old servant that only in the next life would there be a chance, and to accumulate power! Then, you sealed your memories within your Eternal Emperor Armor, scattered them throughout the Myriad Spirits Realm, and underwent Reincarnation yourself."

Sword Master continued, "Although this old servant doesn't know where master went or what you encountered during those two seconds, nor why master's Divine Soul didn't return, based on this old servant's understanding of master, you must have encountered an extremely urgent situation during those two seconds of departure, which made you so serious. That was the first time in this old servant's life that I saw such a solemn expression on master's face."

"So after master underwent Reincarnation and left, I immediately began to take over Wangxian Hall again, and the first thing I did was to send the eleven Elders of Wangxian Hall to guard the battlefield Seal. They knew that master had returned from the Upper Realm, and without hesitation, they revealed their Dharma Idols, guarding the Seal as giants, and have not dared to be negligent for three tens of thousands of years."

Su Yang listened in a daze.

So the eleven giant mountain Peaks in Burial Immortal Valley were the eleven Elders of Wangxian Hall.

Gu Yue, An Ran, Wen Yunyao, Lin Bingqing, and even Bai Lingxi, all heard for the first time that the eleven giant mountains in Burial Immortal Valley were the eleven Elders of Wangxian Hall.

Su Yang asked with some uncertainty, "I see that the Spiritual Qi from the Upper Realm seems to be continuously leaking down in Burial Immortal Valley. Was it always like this, or has the Seal already shifted now? Can the Upper Realm's Spiritual Qi no longer be contained?"

Crimson Phoenix said, "Your Seal back then didn't completely block off the Upper Realm's Spiritual Qi."

She had always been on the battlefield, so she knew about this.

Sword Master said, "Master, you have always been prescient. You must have known that after I returned, I would arrange for the eleven Elders to guard the Seal. Relying solely on their own strength, they probably wouldn't be able to suppress the Seal for a long time, so you deliberately didn't completely block off the Upper Realm's Spiritual Qi, allowing it to continuously leak down to provide continuous power support for the eleven Elders."

"The eleven Elders originally couldn't absorb Upper Realm Spiritual Qi, but when they were stationed in the Formation, there was a special transformation Formation left by you within it, continuously converting the Upper Realm's Spiritual Qi into Spiritual Qi they could absorb, supplying it to them, replenishing their consumption while continuously enhancing their power."

"Three tens of thousands of years have passed, and the power of the eleven Elders should now far surpass the Mahayana Stage, enough to break through the Void Realm and ascend to the Upper Realm."

Speaking of the eleven Elders, Sword Master's expression was quite emotional.

Everyone silently digested the information Sword Master had just provided.

Sword Master continued, "After arranging for the eleven Elders to guard the Seal, I also began to help cultivators from various Sects in the Myriad Spirits Realm to improve their strength as much as possible. As long as a cultivator's strength Breakthrough into the Tribulation Stage, I would gather them at Wangxian Hall to Cultivate, waiting for master to return and hand over these powers to master. It's just that this old servant is incompetent; in three tens of thousands of years, I have only managed to Cultivate 185 Tribulation Stage cultivators."

185 Tribulation Stage cultivators, this is already a considerably powerful force!

Su Yang patted Sword Master's shoulder and comforted him, "You've already done very well. Although I have no relevant memories, based on my understanding of the Myriad Spirits Realm, without your intervention, it would be remarkable for 30 Tribulation Stage experts to emerge in three tens of thousands of years. Now you have gathered 185 Tribulation Stage experts, which is truly remarkable."

"This old servant is ashamed."

Sword Master still felt he hadn't done enough.

Su Yang patted his iron-hard shoulder and changed the subject, "What exactly did I experience at the last moment? Only by retrieving my memories will I know. You just said I sealed my memories in some... some armor..."

"Eternal Emperor Armor."

Sword Master said.

"Right, I sealed my memories in this Eternal Emperor Armor, and then scattered them throughout the Myriad Spirits Realm. I must have been worried that the information in my memories would be discovered at that time. Thinking this way, as long as I can retrieve this set of Eternal Emperor Armor, I should be able to recover all my memories, right?"

Sword Master nodded with great certainty: "Theoretically, that should be the case. So after master scattered the Eternal Emperor Armor, this old servant immediately began to search for their whereabouts, but dared not reassemble them. Instead, I silently noted down their current locations, so that master could retrieve them immediately upon your return."

Su Yang's eyes lit up: "Well done!"

With this level of efficiency, no wonder he was entrusted with such an important task before his Reincarnation!

However,

Sword Master frowned: "Master, don't be happy too soon."

"What do you mean?"

Su Yang's happy expression immediately vanished. There was still a problem?

Sword Master said, "Besides this weapon of mine, the Eternal Emperor Armor is divided into eleven components: one Emperor Sacred Spirit Helmet, two Emperor Dark River Bracers, two Emperor Forbidden Blast Gloves, one Emperor Profound Gold Armor, two Emperor Heavenly Abyss Leg Guards, two Emperor Rift Sky Boots, and one Emperor Starlight Cloak."

"Of these eleven, this old servant has located ten of them, but as for the Emperor Sacred Spirit Helmet, this old servant has searched for over three tens of thousands of years and still doesn't know its whereabouts."

Su Yang frowned: "So, you mean one piece is still missing?"

Sword Master nodded.

Su Yang grinned broadly and said, "Knowing the location of ten out of eleven pieces is already very good. Let's gather the ten pieces we know about first. As for the last piece, the Emperor Sacred Spirit Helmet, perhaps once the ten pieces are assembled, its location will naturally be revealed."

What do cultivators Cultivate?

It's strength!

And even more so, mindset!

How can one Cultivate if their mindset isn't good!

"Let's go! Since we have a goal, let's set off now to find these ten sets of Eternal Emperor Armor!"

"Wait, master..."

Sword Master said, "Since master has returned, I think it's necessary to hand over these 185 Tribulation Stage cultivators from Wangxian Hall to master..."
