The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 355 - 315: Ancestor Emperor Awakens

In Chu Huaixu’s heart, he had already made his decision.

He would choose—to return the favor in kind.

For now, just participate in the East and West Continent Competition as usual.

He wanted their blood to spill on the bloodstained land of Niu Yuanshan!

The next day, Jiang Zhi summoned Chu Huaixu.

He didn’t need to participate in the competition anyway, so temporarily he was quite free.

And this would be Chu Huaixu’s first contact with the Sword Sect Sword Venerable and Luotian Valley’s Tianluo.

The Sword Venerable was dressed like a middle-aged scholar, while the Tianluo from Luotian Valley looked like an old academic, somewhat like an elderly schoolteacher.

But strictly speaking, it’s reasonable for "Luotian" to look like this. After all, Luotian Valley is called the sect of myriad techniques, and people from this place love to research cultivation techniques and techniques.

On the contrary, the Sword Venerable looked like a middle-aged scholar, gentle and elegant, quite different from most aggressive and arrogant sword cultivators.

Since the one from Spring and Autumn Mountain hadn’t come, Mei Chuxue could only represent Spring and Autumn Mountain in this meeting.

These people wanted Chu Huaixu to detail the specific situation inside the Emperor’s Pool.

Chu Huaixu only concealed some of his own secrets and even spoke of the Female State Preceptor cultivating the "Wedding Dress."

Moreover, he didn’t intentionally play any tricks.

When it came to his own secrets, he glossed over them.

It was equivalent to indirectly telling them that this part he didn’t want to speak about, rather than making things up.

After speaking, he looked at the Sword Venerable and others, and the three people from the three major sects were all lost in thought, saying nothing.

Finally, Tianluo spoke first: "Young Friend Chu, rest assured, during your time in the Moon Country, we will ensure your safety."

He was the oldest person present and the highest in cultivation, so it fell on him to say this.

The Sword Sect Sword Venerable was indeed strong, but his personality was different from most sword cultivators, not competing or chasing fame and profit, appearing indifferent, and rarely speaking.

After hearing this, Jiang Zhi thus let Chu Huaixu leave first.

Clearly, what followed was a small meeting amongst the four of them.

Bringing Chu Huaixu here today was purely to have him recount personally and offer him some assurance.

After all, he’s just a Third Realm junior, now in the Moon Country capital, inexplicably caught in the center of a whirlpool.

The Old State Preceptor wanted to set things right, while the current Moon Emperor and Ancestor Emperor together schemed for possession...

It’s normal for a junior to be nervous, isn’t it?

It’s estimated that he would be scared to death, with his nerves constantly on edge.

Once the four finished discussing, they would represent East Continent Mirror Country to demand an explanation from the Western Continent Moon Country.

But clearly, this process was not something Chu Huaixu could partake in at this stage.

Fortunately, he had his own plans.

Everyone proceeded with their tasks separately, without interfering with each other.

...

...

Time passed as the East and West Continent Competition had already gone through several rounds.

The Third Realm contests would surely be more exciting than the First Realm.

After all, cultivators in their First Realm have very singular methods, and their spiritual power is very thin.

However, the progress of this competition was much less of a hot topic compared to last year.

No helping it, that person who gathered all eyes, the Profound Yellow Leader, had reached the top sixteen.

This guy first made his appearance as a body cultivator, then others couldn’t draw their swords, then he pursued sword and body dual cultivation, and mastered the "Dao Scripture," even incited Sword Intent...

Who could be more provocative than him?

And this time, he hadn’t even personally entered the field, yet the topic of discussion remained him.

The Heir of Prince Rui publicly accused Chu Huaixu of being a spy from the Moon Country.

Although the steward surnamed Niu cleared him of suspicion before taking his life.

But the controversy was so big, stirring the entire city, becoming widely known.

In every tavern, in every teahouse in the capital, people were discussing this.

Those who came to participate in the competition were even more engaged.

Some found the incident perplexing.

Some believed there’s no smoke without fire.

Some thought Qin Xuexiao’s words were laughable.

But anyway, everyone was looking forward to Chu Huaixu making a public appearance.

Since leaving the Emperor’s Pool, he hadn’t ventured outside much.

He hadn’t gone to watch Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing’s matches as he did before.

Causing curiosity seekers to feel increasingly itching with anticipation.

As for Chu Huaixu’s appearance, anticipation was high.

Following Niu Yuanshan’s death, within the Daoist Sect disciples’ ranks, many found it hard to accept.

Additionally, since it happened in public view, it was like a slap in the face to the Daoist Sect.

As a result, these Daoist talents were very angered.

Whenever they encountered Moon Country people, especially Moon Country Cultivation Hall disciples, they would be harsher in their actions.

Chu Huaixu hadn’t gone to the Martial Arts Arena to watch, but he had asked Big Ice Cube and Xiaoxu: "Recently, how’s Steward Mo?"

Their answer was, Steward Mo was busy handling various matters and leading teams in the Martial Arts Arena, refusing to rest.

Moreover, ever since Niu Yuanshan took his life, there hadn’t been a smile seen on Mo Qingmei’s face.

"Lately, whenever it snows, Steward Mo seems a bit distracted." Han Shuangjiang observed meticulously.

Since Mo Qingmei treated them as juniors, Han Shuangjiang was somewhat worried for this elder.

Chu Huaixu nodded slightly at their words, saying no more.

After pondering, he asked: "Has Qin Xuexiao used the Emperor’s Divine Thought in recent matches?"

Big Ice Cube and Xiaoxu shook their heads in response.

This led the Dead Fox to speculate: "Perhaps there’s some issue with the Emperor’s Divine Thought."

Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been those titillating scenes by the Emperor’s Pool with the Female State Preceptor who possessed the Emperor’s Divine Thought.

....

....

As time moved forward.

Just as Chu Huaixu predicted, until the East and West Continent Competition’s top thirty-two match, the four strands of Emperor’s Divine Thought within Qin Xuexiao finally awoke.

Ten strands of Divine Thought lost four, leaving Ancestor Emperor gravely weakened.

It was akin to half a soul being absorbed by Chu Huaixu using the Evil Pill.

At that moment, within the "Dao Generating One," two Evil Pills existed, one containing Ye Kongxuan’s Four Symbols Spirit Root, the other containing four strands of Ancestor Emperor’s Divine Thought, all related to the number four.

Additionally, within this Evil Pill, there was power from the Emperor’s Pool, the Array’s power for possession, and the abundant national fortune.

Currently, Chu Huaixu didn’t know if these things could be extracted.

Now, the Evil Pill was like a Pixiu, absorbing but not releasing.

However, if they could ever be extracted, it would be a treasure trove!

At night, Qin Xuexiao was sitting cross-legged, cultivating.

Upon sensing the revival of the four strands of Divine Thought within him, he immediately opened his eyes, a hint of excitement flashed across them.

In recent days, he had gone to watch Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing’s matches.

To his surprise, the cold-faced girl had reached Sword Intent Great Perfection!

Moreover, she had mastered so many sword techniques, in each match, she could use attribute-restrained swordsmanship to suppress her opponent.

This made him, without the Emperor’s Divine Thought, lack absolute confidence in victory.

"How could she grow to such a level in such a short period?" Qin Xuexiao found it astounding.

As for Xu Ziqing, he had only used the Bronze Sword once, and that was left-handed.

Regarding his true combat power, Qin Xuexiao had no certainty.

No helping it, the four main world protagonists each had their own golden fingers and fortunes.

Qin Xuexiao’s golden finger was temporarily disrupted by Chu Huaixu.

Thus, upon sensing the awakening of the Divine Thought, he immediately exclaimed with joy: "Ancestor! You’re finally awake!"

In his mind, the Ancestor Emperor’s voice soon resonated.

His tone revealed hints of fatigue and weakness.

"Tell me, where are Chu Huaixu’s corpse and that pearl!"

Listening to the Ancestor’s words, Qin Xuexiao was bewildered and couldn’t help but utter:

"Hm?"
