541: Small in stature but big in mind

He was usually just a bit playful; he didn't expect to be caught red-handed by his father today.

However, he didn't quite understand; his father wouldn't get angry before, so what was wrong today? Why did he suddenly lose his temper?

Could it be that he encountered something unpleasant during this trip? It must be so; otherwise, with how much his father doted on him, how could he possibly get angry at him?

He just didn't know what exactly had happened to make him so furious.

Dao Baifeng already knew when Duan Zhengchun appeared. Upon hearing Duan Zhengchun tell them all to go to the Front Hall, they glanced at each other, both seeing the shock and suspicion in the other's eyes.

Such occurrences were rare and usually only happened because of a major event.

Soon, everyone gathered in the Great Hall. Fortunately, this was the Prince's Mansion, and the hall was large enough; otherwise, having twenty to thirty people enter at once would have been quite crowded.

Each woman had an Infant Boy by her side, and their strength had already reached the Grandmaster Realm.

"Prince, you've summoned us as soon as you returned. Has something happened?" Dao Baifeng looked at Duan Zhengchun with a serious expression.

"Yes, Prince, we've never seen you look so serious. Although Haoran is a bit mischievous, his usual performance is very good."

"You scolded him as soon as you came back; look at how aggrieved the little fellow looks." Qin Hongmian stroked Duan Haoran's head with a look of heartache.

Hearing Qin Hongmian's words, Duan Haoran hugged her thigh with an aggrieved face and made a face at Duan Zhengchun.

"I'm sorry, my emotions are a bit tense because of some matters."

"This is the slaughtering immortal sword; it's for you." As Duan Zhengchun spoke, a sword appeared in his hand. It was indeed one of the four swords of the immortal slaying sword set, the slaughtering immortal sword.

The moment the slaughtering immortal sword appeared, the entire hall was enveloped by a terrifying Sword Intent, and everyone felt as if they were shrouded in a life-and-death crisis.

The faces of everyone present changed, and they all looked nervously at the slaughtering immortal sword in Duan Zhengchun's hand.

Sensing the change, Duan Zhengchun raised his hand and flicked his finger against the slaughtering immortal sword.

"Buzz..."

Instantly, a hum echoed from the blade, and that terrifying Sword Intent vanished.

Only then did everyone feel the life-and-death crisis disappear. Those present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, only now realizing that their backs were drenched in cold sweat.

"Wow, Father, what kind of precious sword is this? It's actually so powerful!" Duan Haoran looked at the slaughtering immortal sword before him with glowing eyes.

"This sword is named Lu Xian... it's damaged for some reason. There are three others of equal fame, namely the immortal slaying sword, the Jue Xian Sword, and the Xian Xian Sword."

"The four swords can form a peerless killing Formation, the immortal slaying sword formation."

"What? The immortal slaying sword formation? Does that mean if the four swords are gathered to form the Formation, they can even kill Immortals?" Zhao Min spoke in surprise as she looked at the slaughtering immortal sword in Duan Zhengchun's hand.

"That's right. Once the Formation is set, it cannot be broken unless four Saints gather."

"The Kyushu Continent doesn't even have a Saint Realm, let alone Immortals. What do you think?" Duan Zhengchun nodded with a smile.

Everyone fell silent. In a world without even Immortals, a Formation was created that only a Saint could break, and it even required four Saints to gather to break it.

If this sword Formation were set up, wouldn't it be invincible?

"That's amazing! I want this sword..."

Duan Haoran exclaimed and excitedly rushed forward to take the slaughtering immortal sword, but he was blocked by Duan Zhengchun.

"Don't be in a hurry. This sword has a spirit. Although I've agreed to give it to you, you also need to gain its recognition," Duan Zhengchun said.

"It has a spirit? That's even better! Father, have you forgotten? I possess the Supreme Bone. It's just a sword; even if it's an immortal sword, I'm confident I can take it." Duan Haoran was full of confidence.

Duan Zhengchun didn't say anything in response to Duan Haoran's words. He also wanted to see if his son, who possessed the Supreme Bone, could make the slaughtering immortal sword submit.

Duan Haoran excitedly reached out and grabbed the slaughtering immortal sword. Instantly, the slaughtering immortal sword began to resist.

Duan Haoran's hand trembled incessantly. The slaughtering immortal sword was indeed resisting Duan Haoran, just like the situation when the immortal slaying sword resisted Li Hanyi before.

Feeling the resistance of the slaughtering immortal sword, Duan Haoran's expression changed, and he immediately circulated his full strength. The Supreme Bone inside his body emitted a bright light.

A terrifying aura erupted, giving people an urge to bow down and worship.

This was the Supreme Bone, the top-tier Aptitude of the cultivation world, like an emperor among men, a Supreme-level existence.

His cultivation speed and growth potential were also beyond what ordinary people could compare to.

After the aura of the Supreme Bone erupted, the slaughtering immortal sword's trembling and resistance grew weaker and weaker, finally returning to tranquility.

Everyone looked at this scene with surprise. They hadn't expected the Supreme Bone to be so domineering.

They had all clearly felt that immersive sense of life-and-death crisis just now.

One must know that among them, the weakest was now at the Grandmaster Peak, and the strongest had reached the Late Heaven-Man Realm, only one step away from the Earth Immortal Realm.

Even so, they had all felt the life-and-death crisis, yet now, it had actually submitted because of the Supreme Bone.

"Wow, so powerful! This sword is actually at the level of an Innate Spirit Treasure. It's just a pity that it's currently damaged." Duan Haoran toyed with the slaughtering immortal sword in pleasant surprise.

"I didn't expect your Supreme Bone to actually be able to make the slaughtering immortal sword submit. It's likely also because it's damaged."

"Otherwise, with your current strength, even with the Supreme Bone, it would be impossible to make it submit," Duan Zhengchun nodded.

He was still very satisfied with Duan Haoran's performance.

However, now was not the time to talk about these things; it was better to discuss more important matters first.

"Alright, I've asked you to come because I have something important to tell you."

"Prince, what exactly is it? Even you are so tense." Dao Baifeng looked at Duan Zhengchun with a heavy expression.

She always felt a bit uneasy, as if something truly major was about to happen.

She had never seen Duan Zhengchun look so serious before, not even when the four hundred thousand troops of the Jin State appeared.

This time, being so serious, something big must be happening.

"It's like this..."

Duan Zhengchun then told them about the Seal, and the hall fell into a period of silence.

They hadn't expected that such a thing existed on the Kyushu Continent.

That such a terrifying place was hidden, and moreover, those Yao Beasts were very likely to break through the Seal and appear soon.

"I didn't expect the Kyushu Continent to be so mysterious, with such a sealed land. Those Seniors sacrificed their own freedom and lives to guard the Seal and prevent those Yao Beasts from entering and harming the people."

"This spirit is truly admirable," Dao Baifeng nodded.

"Yes, I didn't expect that the so-called seclusion of those Seniors back then wasn't truly seclusion, but rather they were carrying a more important mission."

"Then, Prince, what should we do now?" Huang Rong looked at Duan Zhengchun with a solemn expression.

"Now, what you need to do is increase your strength as much as possible. I have a feeling that in six months at most, there will be a change in the Seal. At that time, you will also have the ability to protect yourselves." Duan Zhengchun looked at his confidantes with a serious face.
