Sword Emperor

The Black Tortoise was one of the four spirits of the heavens and earth in the Shen State, and was considered the most precious Divine Beast. It was the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, and the Vermillion Bird that guarded the entire Shen State. The Northern Domain was the place where the Black Tortoise guarded.    

    

However, countless years ago, when the Humans was still weak, it was attacked by Ancient Clans. In the end, it fell completely. It was because of Ancient Clans's help that the Humans was able to develop to its current level.    

    

The legendary Black Tortoise was the amalgamation of the Black Tortoise and the Spirit Snake. However, it was a terrifying Divine Beast that was born from the luck of the world. Even Ancient Clans's single ancestor was slightly inferior to it. It could be considered as a top expert.    

    

However, at this moment, he discovered the unusual phenomenon of the Black Tortoise in the Northern Domain. This news could definitely be said to be earth-shattering, but it had already fallen countless years ago. Sun Bing suspected that this time, it might be a secret realm or the Xuanwu nest.    

    

Faced with such earth-shattering news, Sun Bing had no doubt that if all the Sacred Grounds in the Shen State knew about it, they would definitely send countless cultivators to fight for the opportunity. Even a tiny bit of the harvest would be enough to make their eyes turn red.    

    

However, although the unusual phenomenon was earth-shattering, it was because the Northern Domain was too vast. Furthermore, Ancient Clans had invaded the domain, so many rogue cultivators didn't dare to roam freely in the wilderness. Therefore, no one knew about this news.    

    

At the same time, after learning about this news, Sun Bing finally understood. Why did Ancient Clans shift his gaze to the Northern Domain?    

    

If the thing that appeared here was really related to the Black Tortoise, then it would be even more beneficial to them. One must know that the Black Tortoise was a Divine Beast on the same level as the Genuine Dragon. For example, if a tribe under the Tyrant Tribe was able to obtain the bloodline of the other party, they might even undergo another transformation.    

    

"Since the Black Tortoise has appeared, then why didn't they search for the opportunity within it? Why did they come to such a village? There must be a reason behind it."    

    

Immediately, Sun Bing asked the villager about the residence of the village chief and gifted him some daily necessities before leaving.    

    

In the blink of an eye, Sun Bing came to the village. The residence of the village chief was completely different from the rest. The things inside were scattered all over the ground. Apparently, someone had searched carefully. In a secret room, Sun Bing finally found the information he wanted to know.    

    

This was because the village chief had actually set up a plaque for the Black Tortoise, as if he was worshipping the Black Tortoise every day. Although the things that had been placed here were no longer there, he could still faintly feel the majestic divine might of the heaven and earth.    

    

Instantly, Sun Bing's brows knitted tightly. "Looks like that group of Ancient Clans has already made their move. Although they have already taken the initiative, we can't let them succeed."    

    

According to the information he had obtained from the villager, Sun Bing knew about it. Ten thousand miles to the west of the village, there was a city called Northern Underworld City. It was a famous city in the surrounding hundred thousand miles. Where did Sun Bing get the information that satisfied him?    

    

A mere ten thousand miles was naturally nothing to Sun Bing. Therefore, without any hesitation, he immediately found the direction and sped away.    

    

In just a short half an hour, Sun Bing could finally feel that there were more people in the vicinity. Occasionally, he could even see a few figures. This had undoubtedly proved that. What the villager said earlier was not false.    

    

Sun Bing couldn't help but feel more excited in his heart. Not long after, he finally saw Northern Underworld City. Even the city walls seemed to be made of ten thousand year old ice. However, there were inscription symbols engraved on the walls, making them look especially dazzling.    

    

After all, the ten thousand year old ice was much sturdier than ordinary turning stones. Unless one found a Genuine Fire that could restrain it, ordinary attacks wouldn't be able to leave any marks on it.    

    

In the Northern Domain, let alone in the Northern Domain, one would not be able to leave any marks on it. On the contrary, it was very difficult to see bricks. It was much easier to use such a method.    

    

Northern Underworld City was considered as the deepest part of Northern Domain. It was surrounded by cold. Not to mention ordinary cultivators, even an ordinary Life and Death Stage Cultivator couldn't withstand the cold from the outside world.    

    

This was because they saw that Sun Bing was merely wearing a green robe. His facial expression was still the same as before. The eyes of the cultivators guarding the entrance of the city were filled with respect. One should know that a cultivator who could do this was undoubtedly very powerful. No one would dare to investigate him.    

    

It seemed like the weather was too cold. There weren't many pedestrians on the streets of Northern Underworld City. After searching for a while, Sun Bing walked straight to the inn in the center of the city.    

    

As soon as he entered the inn, he could feel that the temperature inside was much higher than the outside world. It made him feel very comfortable. Initially, Sun Bing wanted to sit in the main hall and find out more information about the outside world, just like in the past.    

    

However, after Sun Bing entered the inn, everyone could see that there was no change in his clothes. For a moment, the volume of his voice became many times smaller, and he even kept his mouth shut. He was extremely cautious.    

    

Such a situation really made Sun Bing feel helpless. He had never expected such a thing to happen. If he had known about it earlier, he would definitely have made some preparations.    

    

At this point, Sun Bing could only listen to the innkeeper's suggestion and go to the private room on the second floor.    

    

Sure enough, after seeing Sun Bing disappear, the silent hall became much livelier. Everyone was talking to each other in a low voice.    

    

"So many people have come to Northern Domain during this period of time. I have never heard of that swordsman before. I think he must be from the Shen State. "    

    

"This swordsman is truly terrifying. I only took a glance at him just now, and it felt like his entire body was like a sharp sword. The sword shadow in his eyes seemed to be able to kill me. He is truly terrifying."    

    

"Everything was caused by the rumors of the Black Tortoise. It would be fine if the swordsman of my Humans came. It was even a good thing. After all, you have heard about what those people had done in such a long time."    

    

The lively atmosphere became somewhat silent at this moment. However, it could be seen that almost everyone's eyes were filled with hatred, and their mouths were filled with anger.    

    

"Those damn rebels of the Humans and Ancient Clans. I never thought that they would discover the signs of the birth of the Xuanwu nest. They even came here to seize the fortune of my Humans, and even burned and pillaged my Northern Domain. They have done all kinds of evil deeds."    

    

"I only hate that our strength is too weak. If not, we will definitely tear those people into pieces. This is also good because the Frosty Ice Holy Land will be the one to lead the resistance. Otherwise, the entire Northern Domain will become their paradise."    

    

“...”    

    

While the people below were talking to each other, Sun Bing, who was in the private room upstairs, had a faint smile on his face. Of course, the private room upstairs was even more luxurious. There was even a formation surrounding it that could block all sound.    

    

However, none of this bothered Sun Bing at all. With his current attainments in formations, the formation that could isolate sound was not worth mentioning at all. It was easily broken.    

    

After hearing the conversation, Sun Bing finally showed an understanding expression on his face. He murmured, "So it's really the sign of the Xuanwu nest opening? Then it should not be too far away from the time of the Xuanwu nest opening.    

    

There is also the Frosty Ice Holy Land. Is this a holy land hidden in the Northern Domain? It seems like the history of the Humans has been recorded, but it has been completely destroyed countless years ago. I never thought that it would be hidden in the depths of the Northern Domain. It is indeed unexpected."    

    

Each and every piece of information was more than a few times more detailed than what he had obtained from the villagers. At the same time, Sun Bing finally knew why Ancient Clans was slaughtering the villagers. It was because he wanted to collect the divine sense of the Black Tortoise that was hidden in the heaven and earth.    

    

What he had obtained from the village chief was a plaque. Because the entire village had been mourning for countless years, the remaining Qi in the plaque was incomparably dense.    

    

If he were to use the Qi in the plaque as a sacrifice, he would be able to open the Xuanwu nest faster and obtain a better harvest.    

    

After all, when the Black Tortoise fell, its body had completely collapsed and scattered across the entire Northern Domain. The plaque that had remained for countless years was the place where the remaining Divine Sense had survived.
