Nine Realms Sword Emperor-Chapter 1666 - 1667: Inheritor of the First Sword Emperor’s Inheritance
"Thank you, Elder Fan, for saving me."
Chu Fengmian looked at the elder before him and bowed.
Saying a word of thanks.
Facing such a powerful figure, especially one who had just helped Chu Fengmian once, Chu Fengmian had to show respect.
"No problem, as the heir of the First Sword Emperor, it’s only right for me to save you. After all, it’s hard to find a promising talent, wouldn’t want you to die prematurely on this journey."
Elder Fan looked at Chu Fengmian with a smile and said.
"The heir of the First Sword Emperor?"
Upon hearing Elder Fan’s words, Chu Fengmian showed some doubt in his eyes, but quickly figured it out.
It seems Elder Fan had deliberately sold those ancient texts, sword hilts, and jade talismans in Gui Xu City.
All to select an heir for the First Sword Emperor.
The mystery of these treasures is difficult for ordinary people to fathom, unless they have reached Chu Fengmian’s level of sword dao comprehension to see their uniqueness.
Elder Fan priced them astronomically, and those who couldn’t grasp their mysteries were unwilling to pay a fortune for something worthless.
Chu Fengmian willing to buy these three treasures definitely shows he saw their intricacies.
Elder Fan saw Chu Fengmian use the Triple Sun Intense Flame Sword just now and understood that Chu Fengmian must have figured out the mysteries early on, meeting his expectations.
"Unexpectedly, at this crucial moment, someone who meets the criteria arrives. It seems the inheritance of His Excellency, the Sword Emperor, will not end with me."
Elder Fan gazed at Chu Fengmian with unparalleled joy, reflecting.
The difficulty of the First Sword Emperor’s legacy, Elder Fan, as the sword spirit of Tai Chu Sword, knew all too well.
The requirement for a martial artist’s sword dao comprehension was almost impossibly high.
Elder Fan once thought no one qualified to inherit the First Sword Emperor’s legacy until meeting Chu Fengmian brought him immense delight.
"Young lad, you’ve practiced the Triple Sun Intense Flame Sword, so you are now considered an heir to the First Sword Emperor. However, the Triple Sun Intense Flame Sword is just the shallowest technique among his many swordsmanships."
"The legacy of the First Sword Emperor, transmitted by me, has only two moves: the first is the Triple Sun Intense Flame Sword, and the second is the Four Winds Hurricane Sword. If you wish to become the heir of the First Sword Emperor, this move, I shall teach you."
Elder Fan looked at Chu Fengmian, his eyes showing some concentration.
"But you must consider carefully; the First Sword Emperor died at the hands of his enemies, and should you obtain his inheritance, those enemies will not spare you." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
"I am willing."
Chu Fengmian replied directly, without hesitation.
The enemies of the First Sword Emperor?
Chu Fengmian already had many foes and did not mind having more.
The First Sword Emperor was a formidable figure at the peak of sword dao, and the mere power of the Triple Sun Intense Flame Sword was terrifying.
If he could obtain the full inheritance, it would be a great opportunity for Chu Fengmian.
As for the enemies Elder Fan mentioned.
Chu Fengmian, as the sole survivor from the Sword Dao Sect, even among the Nine Domains’ strongest, had his foes.
Adding a few more, what harm could it cause?
"Good."
Elder Fan laughed as he saw Chu Fengmian agree readily.
"Seems I didn’t misjudge you; you possess the heart of a warrior who fears no powerful adversary. Your future achievements might not be beneath the First Sword Emperor."
"Now, I’ll impart to you the Four Winds Hurricane Sword!"
Elder Fan waved his hand, suddenly forming a jade talisman before Chu Fengmian, who grasped it, only to have a vision appear in his mind.
A starry sky.
Chu Fengmian had seen this scene before; it was the First Sword Emperor facing countless desolate beasts.
It seemed to be the continuation of Chu Fengmian’s observation of the Triple Sun Intense Flame Sword.
Now Chu Fengmian understood that this mysterious invincible figure was the First Sword Emperor; taking the name ’First’ showed his boundless confidence, never believing anyone could surpass him.
The Triple Sun Intense Flame Sword is pure fire spiritual power.
But this Four Winds Hurricane Sword is pure wind spiritual power, with the First Sword Emperor’s one move causing stormy winds to gather. These winds are not mere wind but Sword Qi.
Thousands of Sword Qi coalescing as a gale sweeping all.
In this vision, as the Four Winds Hurricane Sword struck, numerous powerful desolate beasts were swept by this Sword Qi hurricane.
In Chu Fengmian’s mind, the vision abruptly halted.
But this battle evidently was not over; other visions likely recorded the other moves of the First Sword Technique.
Xing Xuan once said, the First Sword Technique belonged to the top ten ancient supreme immortal techniques.
Consisted of five forms.
Triple Sun, Four Winds, Six Harmonies, Eight Desolations, Nine Transitions.
Triple Sun is the Triple Sun Intense Flame Sword.
Four Winds is the Four Winds Hurricane Sword.
As for the remaining Six Harmonies, Eight Desolations, Nine Transitions.
Chu Fengmian did not know their names, nor did Xing Xuan, who only heard of them; the exact names were unknown.
The records stated the five forms of the First Sword Technique grew stronger with each successive one.
Chu Fengmian felt that even a slight comprehension of the Four Winds Hurricane Sword vaguely showed its power surpassed the Triple Sun Intense Flame Sword.
Yet, comparatively, the difficulty of mastering the Four Winds Hurricane Sword was far greater than the Triple Sun Intense Flame Sword.
The Triple Sun Intense Flame Sword, immediately upon observing, felt its essence.
But the Four Winds Hurricane Sword took Chu Fengmian at least a day to ponder its intricacies for personal use.
"How is this Four Winds Hurricane Sword?"
Elder Fan had been watching Chu Fengmian and smiled as Chu Fengmian awoke and inquired.
"Stronger than the Triple Sun Intense Flame Sword, but more difficult to comprehend."
Chu Fengmian spoke candidly.
Chu Fengmian’s understanding of sword dao had reached a terrifying level, surpassing many Heavenly Human Realm sword cultivators.
Yet, upon seeing the Four Winds Hurricane Sword, Chu Fengmian realized mastering it was not a matter of mere moments.
"Of course, this Four Winds Hurricane Sword, even true Heavenly Human Realm sword cultivators may not grasp. If it hadn’t been for your profound mastery of the Triple Sun Intense Flame Sword, I might not have imparted this move to you."
Elder Fan smiled at Chu Fengmian.
Unsurprised by Chu Fengmian’s answer and rather satisfied.
Chu Fengmian only glanced at the Four Winds Hurricane Sword and had already stepped into its threshold.
Such comprehension ability, surpassed his peers in sword cultivation; even among half-step Heavenly Human Realm and some Heavenly Human Realm sword cultivators, few could achieve this.
