C523 The Sword Emperor's will
The Black Iron Fragment that had been entrenched in Lee Shaoyu's Qi-sea realm finally moved. It slowly left Lee Shaoyu's Qi-sea realm and floated quietly in front of Lee Shaoyu. After drifting forward for a distance, it stopped again, as if it was waiting for Lee Shaoyu to follow it.
Mo Lee, who was outside, became excited as if he had been injected with stimulants. He shouted at Lee Shaoyu, "Brother Shaoyu, hurry up and go. The opportunity is right in front of us. It seems like my speculation is correct. You are indeed the chosen one!"
Lee Shaoyu was instantly awakened. He slowly walked towards the Black Iron Fragment. After Lee Shaoyu started moving, the Black Iron Fragment started moving again and led Lee Shaoyu deeper into the Sword Tomb. Soon, Lee Shaoyu arrived in front of a black tombstone. The tombstone was engraved with ancient divine characters. Behind it was a huge tomb.
"Northern Tomb. ... "" Lee Shaoyu murmured to himself. The tomb of the Northern Ocean was carved on the tombstone. Could it be that Beiming Sword Emperor's body wasn't taken away? Or was it just a tomb of clothes and buried Beiming Sword Emperor's weapon?
The Black Iron Fragment stopped moving when it arrived in front of the tomb. It floated quietly in front of the tombstone, as if it was trying to entrust its grief to the grave. However, Lee Shaoyu was a little embarrassed. Could it be that he was going to rob the tomb the next step? But if he were to dig Beiming Sword Emperor's tomb in front of the Black Iron Fragment, would he be killed? For a moment, Lee Shaoyu didn't know what to do. However, since he was in front of this Immortal Emperor who once fought for the Human Clan, it wouldn't be wrong for him to pay his respects.
Lee Shaoyu straightened his posture and knelt in front of Beiming Sword Emperor's grave with a solemn expression. He said in a deep voice, "The Sword Emperor has a spirit. I came in a hurry today and couldn't offer incense to you. Please don't blame me."
After Lee Shaoyu paid his respects, the Black Iron Fragment finally reacted. A few Golden Talisman s gushed out from it and imprinted themselves on the tombstone. A passageway slowly opened up behind the tombstone, revealing a dark stone staircase that led straight to the tomb. The Black Iron Fragment circled around Lee Shaoyu twice, then floated into the tunnel. Lee Shaoyu understood what it meant and followed it.
The passage was not long. It was obvious that there was a secret seal covering it. The seawater could not enter. In less than five minutes, Lee Shaoyu followed the Black Iron Fragment to the main tomb. Inside the tomb was a translucent jade coffin. One could vaguely see the inside of the coffin. There were no corpses inside, only a green battle robe. It should be the battle robe that Beiming Sword Emperor had worn when he was alive.
The interior of the tomb was very simple. Apart from the jade coffin, there was a stone platform in front of the coffin. There was a black broken sword and some broken black fragments on the stone platform. The material was exactly the same as the Black Iron Fragment. It seemed that the Black Iron Fragment in Lee Shaoyu's body was a broken piece of Sovereign Weapon.
At this moment, the blood on the Black Iron Fragment became more and more vivid. It slowly gathered together and turned into a drop of sparkling and bright blood. It flew out of the Black Iron Fragment and shone brightly in the tomb. It released a dazzling immortal light, which made Lee Shaoyu unable to look straight at it.
Buzz!
The broken sword on the stone platform suddenly trembled. It seemed to have some kind of connection with the blood. A hazy light appeared on the hilt of the broken sword and slowly blended with the blood. Finally, the blood began to burn and emitted a dense multicolored light. It condensed into a faint figure. He was wearing a green Daoist robe, but his face could not be seen clearly. However, there was a bright light flickering in his eyes, as bright as the moon in the dark night.
Lee Shaoyu did not dare to speak, because that faint figure seemed to be recalling something. He did not have any intention of talking to him, so he could only wait quietly. After a long time, the faint human figure finally opened his mouth and said softly to Lee Shaoyu, "Young man, the reason why you are able to come here is because you have obtained the recognition of my remnant will. Do you want to obtain my inheritance?"
"Junior Lee Shaoyu greets Senior Beiming Sword Emperor. Junior came here purely by chance. As for the inheritance of Senior, I have no hope." Lee Shaoyu suddenly knelt on the ground. The figure in front of him was definitely Beiming Sword Emperor. It was worth his bow.
"Get up. I am merely a wisp of spiritual will left in this world. That's still the Sword Emperor. "All these years, this wisp of will has been sealed within my Sovereign Weapon. It is all for the sake of waiting for the arrival of the Human Clan's Proud Son of Heaven, who can accept my inheritance. And it's definitely not a coincidence that you are able to come here. Before my death, I separated dozens of drops of blood essence and attached them to the fragments of the Sovereign Weapon, landing in all four directions of the continent in search of a successor. And after so many years, only you have come. Clearly, your temperament and talent have obtained the recognition of my remnant will instinct. "Otherwise, even if you came here, this wisp of my spiritual will would not appear. You would only be killed." Beiming Sword Emperor said with a soft smile. It turned out that the blood on the Black Iron Fragment was the true blood left by an Immortal Emperor. Although it had been entrenched in his Qi Sea all these years, there hadn't been any movement. But he had tested himself in secret.
"Shaoyu, I don't know much about the outside world. How are the people of Human Clan on the continent now?" Beiming Sword Emperor asked in a deep voice.
"Well... I don't want to lie to the Immortal Emperor. The Human Clan isn't in a good situation right now." Lee Shaoyu sighed and told Beiming Sword Emperor everything that happened on the continent. Beiming Sword Emperor couldn't help but sigh.
After listening to Lee Shaoyu's story, Beiming Sword Emperor let out a long sigh and said, "I didn't expect the Divine Clan to win after so many years, but Yunshang Sovereign has been disappointed for a long time. Otherwise, the Human Clan wouldn't be able to do this. It's a pity that I can no longer contribute to the Human Clan. Fortunately, you have come. You can bring my inheritance to greater heights, allowing them to contribute to the Human Clan's revival. "
"Senior is righteous. Shaoyu really admires you." Lee Shaoyu said in a deep voice.
"Show me your sword skills. I will show you the next step." Beiming Sword Emperor sighed and said to Lee Shaoyu.
Lee Shaoyu nodded and started to practice his swordsmanship. He practiced all the Tao Principles he had learned to the extreme. However, Beiming Sword Emperor kept shaking his head. Clearly, he was not very satisfied. After Lee Shaoyu finished practicing all the profound mysteries of the Tao Principles, Beiming Sword Emperor could not help frowning slightly. He frowned and thought about something. Lee Shaoyu did not dare to disturb him. He stood quietly by the side and waited quietly.
After a long time, Beiming Sword Emperor looked at Lee Shaoyu and said in a deep voice, "Shaoyu, the Tao Principles you cultivate are indeed very strong, but because of this, you might be able to become the strongest True Immortal, or even the strongest Golden Immortal, but you can't become the strongest Immortal King, and you will never become an Immortal King!"
