Chapter 150: Chapter 149: The Birth of Sword Lord

Translator: 549690339

Souls do not wear clothes, the clothes in the soul state of the Sword Lord are illusory and can be considered as not wearing clothes.

In other words, the Sword Lord’s soul ran naked for four thousand years, and now that he has returned to his flesh, he finally has clothes to wear.

The Sword Lord feels a bit unaccustomed, his soul yearning to leave his body and wander thousands of miles away.

He quickly suppresses this terrifying thought.

The Sword Lord, his body and spirit unified, sat on the throne, his eyes flashing like electricity. Just like the respected one among swords, only now could he be considered a true Transcendence Tribulation cultivator, who completely mastered the rules of the Sword Tomb and could control the Sword Tomb at will.

The two returned to the second floor and saw two familiar faces with Qin Luan, Zhang Long and Lu Bu Cong, who had invited Jiang Li to have tea and snacks at the tea stall.

“What, the elders outside the Sword Tomb who are waiting for you are only at the Nascent Soul Stage?” Zhang Long was surprised.

“Friend Qin Luan, even though we are grateful for your help, that group has a Divinity Transformation elder outside the Sword Tomb!” Lu Bu Cong worried for Qin Luan, “When they overpower us with their momentum, none of us will have a good end.”

He gritted his teeth and said, “This all started because of us two. After leaving the Sword Tomb, we two can draw their attention while you all escape in the chaos!”

“That won’t work either, they are eyeing the Seven Killer’s pair of swords, they will definitely keep an eye on you!”

“What should we do?” Lu Bu Cong and Zhang Long were in a panic.

“Both of you don’t need to worry, we entered the secret realm with the elder, and with his help, we will be safe and sound.” Song Ying comforted.

“Elder? Could it be that you are deeply rooted and backed by a major sect, and have a Transcendence Tribulation elder?” Zhang Long couldn’t believe it. Only a Transcendence Tribulation Stage could possibly ignore the rules of the Sword Tomb and enter.

It’s impossible that the Human Emperor of the Mahayana Realm came to the Sword Tomb, he’s too free.

If he’s so free, why doesn’t he go to the tea stall for tea? “Actually, we don’t have a Transcendence Tribulation elder…”

“What’s all the noise?”

Jiang Li and the Sword Lord appeared nearby.

Upon seeing the Human Emperor and the Sword Lord who had regained his body, Qin Luan and the others quickly paid their respects. “Qian Li?” Zhang Long and Lu Bu Cong recognized Jiang Li.

Jiang Li greeted them.

“This is how it is.” Qin Luan stepped forward to explain the situation, “These two are Daoist friends Zhang Long and Lu Bu Cong, they both got two intermediate grade Spirit Swords and attracted attention. The opponent was powerful and intimidating, wanting to sell at a low price, threatening to make it difficult for them to move anywhere in the Great Sui dynasty if they don’t

sell! ”

“The two friends are stubborn… very principled, directly refusing to sell. It angers the other party, who want to seize it by force.”

“I couldn’t bear to watch and stepped forward to help. Li Fugui also helped. Of course, they couldn’t beat me, but now they are eyeing Li Fugui’s pair of swords, threatening us before leaving, if we dare to come out of the secret realm, they will make us suffer.”

“Such people are also fit to be sword cultivators, truly a disgrace for sword cultivators.” The Sword Lord was slightly angry when he heard this, feeling shame towards the people Qin Luan mentioned.

Apart from Jiang Li, those who were capable of comprehending the three sword techniques and coming to the second layer were all sword cultivators, it’s just a matter of whether they took cultivating the sword as the main focus or not. The Sword Lord calls himself the Sword Lord because he believes that sword cultivators should conduct themselves like gentlemen. Those who rob and oppress others do not deserve to be sword cultivators.

All the swords on the second floor of the Sword Tomb were won by the Sword Lord and himself, none were stolen.

Of the threats they made, only Zhang Long and Lu Bu Cong took them to heart.

No one else cared, not even the little fox, who had already recognized this Mr. Jiang’s identity.

Anyone who could ignore the Sword Tomb rules and pull out swords like pulling radishes and had the surname Jiang, who else could he be but the current Human Emperor Jiang Li?

Qin Luan was truly a fortunate one, she had chosen the right person to follow. The little fox was secretly delighted.

“Congratulations on regaining your body! ” Among them, Song Ying was the cleverest, taking the lead in congratulating Sword Lord, who had a fond impression of her for being the first to congratulate him. Everyone likes clever and cute juniors.

The little fox bowed and whined, also congratulating him. No matter from age or cultivation level, she was considered a junior of Sword Lord.

“Congratulations on regaining your body.” The Seven Killer Taoist and Qin Luan followed suit in congratulating.

“Congratulations on regaining your body.” Though they didn’t know the reason, Zhang Long and Lu Bu Cong also echoed.

Unlike Jiang Li, the image of Sword Lord was widely spread. He was easily recognized when walking on the street. Needless to say, he was a

Transcendence Tribulation cultivator four thousand years ago, so of course Zhang Long and Lu Bu Cong had no chance of recognizing him.

However, they could roughly guess the identity of this big shot, their hearts pounding wildly.

“Good, good, good!” Sword Lord laughed heartily, dispelling some of his displeasure.

Indeed, today was the joyous day when he regained his body. How could his mood be spoiled by such trifles?

“Sword Lord, the juniors are congratulating, and the seniors should also make a gesture. ” Jiang Li laughed.

On hearing this, Sword Lord laughed heartily: “Indeed, I was confused.”

“You’re Song Ying, right.” Sword Lord liked Song Ying a lot as she was the first to congratulate him, “I see you are not devoted solely to the path of the sword, and the weapon you use is not a spirit sword, giving you a spirit sword would be useless.”

Sword Lord’s fingertip released a sword qi. He half-clenched his fist, with his fingers pointing inwards. When he opened his hand, five pitch-black pills lay in the palm of his hand.

“These are sword pills, each of which contains one of my five sword intents. If you break them and attack, a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator would die if hit, and a Body Integration Realm cultivator would be seriously injured and unable to recover.”

Sword Lord gave the five sword Dills to Song Ying. Song Ying carefullv out the

sword pills into her gourd. This was a good thing that could save her life.

Although Qin Luan had repeatedly survived crises, he was still like walking on a tightrope, which was ultimately not safe. With the sword pills, their journey would be much safer.

“This…little fox.” Sword Lord wanted to say nine-tailed celestial fox, but he saw the little fox desperately signaling to him, guessing that she did not want to reveal her identity in front of the younger generation.

He touched on the forehead of the little fox.

“I’m not familiar with the paths of transformation and fascination. However, I once accidentally entered a place where your fox clan’s old ancestors used to store things. The mark I just imprinted on your spiritual platform is the map of that place. If you have time, you can go and take a look.”

The little fox quickly raised her little paw to say thanks.

Sword Lord took out the spirit sword he had inhabited and imprinted several prohibition seals on it, causing the quality of the spirit sword to gradually decline until it became a superior quality spiritual artifact.

Sword Lord handed the spiritual sword to Qin Luan.

“This sword is the spirit sword I used before breaking through to the Transcendence Tribulation Stage. Its name is Cloud Wilderness, which can part the clouds and see the wilderness, changing day and night. If you forcibly activate it, it will be like a child swinging a big hammer, hurting yourself more than the enemy. I have placed seals on this sword to suppress its level, which is just right for your current usage. As your cultivation level increases, you can gradually unlock the seal, until you fully unleash the power of Cloud Wilderness.”

“Do not tarnish the name of Cloud Wilderness.” Sword Lord advised.

“Thank you, Sword Lord.”

“Li Fugui, you are the most passionate about the path of the sword among them. Good.” Sword Lord nodded in approval, “I see you have sword go techniques. Are you a disciple of my Sword Sect?”

“Sword expert, I, the Daoist of the Ruthless Sect, as recorded, our founding master came from the Sword Repository, and so we’re essentially a branch of it,”

“The Ruthless Sect? Does that mean that you follow the path of the Ruthless Sword Dao?” The sword expert asks in surprise, “But, I see joy on your face, unlike someone who pursues the Ruthless Sword Dao.”

Sword Dao consists of both Compassionate Dao and Ruthless Dao and the sword expert’s path is one of compassion.

Seven Kill Daoist grinds his teeth in response: “As the son of the Sect Master, I must cultivate the Ruthless Sword Dao, but I myself is not a ruthless person, how could I cultivate it? So, during the day, I pretend to cultivate Ruthless Sword Dao and secretly cultivate Compassionate Sword Dao at night. Because of this, everyone thinks I am the most ruthless, they elected me as their Daoist.”

“In my sect, I always maintain a poker face and pretend to be ruthless.”

“…You had it rough.” The Sword expert replied. This is the first time he met someone like this. “Since you are a branch of my Sword Repository family, then I will take you as my disciple. Receive my mantle.”

The Seven Kill Daoist was stunned by this sudden overwhelming surprise. How can he be worthy of being a disciple of the Sword expert?

He quickly kneels and pays respects: “Master, I, Li Fugui, pay my respects.”

“Hahaha, my disciple, rise.”

The sword expert took out two small wooden badges shaped like swords and handed them to Zhang Long and Lu Bu Cong: “These are my tokens, if you face difficulties in the future, you can come to Sword Repository and find me, I will help you once.”

Zhang Long and Lu Bu Cong were dumbstruck, they didn’t expect their wildest dreams to come true: the sword expert, who had been missing for four thousand years, appeared before them and gave them his legendary tokens.

Having a sword expert token is better than having any spiritual sword.

As for the threat outside of the Sword Chamber, that has been put to the back of their minds.

However, they were curious about the true identity of this Qian Li brother who could converse freely with the Sword expert, suggesting that he must be a Tribulation Crossing Cultivator. Unfortunately, they don’t recognize any Tribulation Crossing Cultivators and can’t figure it out.

“Congratulations on the acquisition of your physical body.” Jiang Li congratulated sincerely, stretching out his hand for his gift.

The sword expert sighs ruefully: “Please spare me, I don’t have anything that you would value here. Or do you want me to give up my body for you to refine it into a puppet?”

“Even a Tribulation Crossing puppet wouldn’t be good enough for me. But there really is something I need you to do.” Jiang Li chuckled, “Now, the Dao Sect Master, Bai Hongtu, claims to be the best sword cultivator in the nine provinces. I would like you to have a match with him.”

“If it’s him, he is indeed worthy of such a title.” The sword expert recalled Bai Hongtu, who was only at the Golden Core Stage, whose talent in the Sword Dao was the strongest he had ever seen, comparable to his own.

The Sword expert becomes interested, four thousand years ago, he was also known as the best sword cultivator in the nine provinces. Even if Jiang Li didn’t mention it, he would want to have a sword match with this Sword Dao junior after he has fully recovered his cultivation.

Having received Jiang Li’s guidance, realizing the source of his heart demon, the sword expert changed his previous style, with his mindset and cultivation both growing stronger than before, he was curious to see how much weight the current title of the best Sword cultivator in the nine provinces holds.

There will be a spectacle to watch at the Dao Sect, which will make the trip worthwhile, Jiang Li thought to himself and chuckled.

“Disciple, you say you got the male sword, but it was stolen by the wicked person who holds the female sword? Is this true?” Xuan Beizi’s eyes were burning as he spoke loudly, grabbing everyone’s attention.

“Absolutely true.” Wang Jue was resolute, “You are aware of my talent in Sword Dao, it’s normal for me to get the male sword. But the thief teamed up with others to catch me off guard and took away the sword! These people can testify!”

A group of Wang Jue’s followers chimed in, affirming that their big brother was right.

Xuan Beizi thought to himself, “How would I not know about your talent in Sword Dao. Even a lower tier magic artifact class spirit sword would be foolish to be withdrawn by you. It must be that you’re only after the valuable sword.”

However, Xuan Beizi was not bothered by his disciple’s lies. Instead, he was helping him out, as he too had his eyes on the prize and wanted to get his hands on those two swords.

These were swords once used by the Sword Expert during his Body Integration Realm stage. If he offered them to Elder Yu Xingchen, he was bound to win his favor.

The sect’s rule forbids strong-arming and looting, and given the circumstances, Xuan Beizi took advantage of the situation to gain support. Letting those outside the Sword Tomb first admit that his side was right. If the other party still didn’t oblige, he was entitled to use might to get the spirit sword.

“Did Wang Jue really get robbed?” A passerby was astonished.

A friend of the passerby scoffed, “You believe everything Wang Jue says. Is this your first day out here? Who doesn’t know that Wang Jue and his disciples are notorious bandits. They are limited in their exploits within the Greater Sui, but if they went to the White Marsh Dynasty, they’d surely become the local king there, and the eight great vassal kings would be lining up to pick their brains!”

“You’re criticizing others for being newbies, yet you aren’t any better. The eight great vassal kings have long become history, the Qiongqi King and Kylin King are dead, and the remaining six kings have admitted defeat and are worshipping the White Snow Spirit Empress. Dare they still call themselves kings?”

“Really?”

“Would I lie to you — I’m not Wang Jue.”

When Qin Luan and his people came out, it drew attention.

“Master, those are the ones who stole my sword!” Wang Jue exclaimed, causing a scene and demanding Xuan Beizi to fight for his cause.

Even though they were expecting a confrontation, Seven Kill Daoist still couldn’t come to terms with their audacity and shear neglect for the truth, even going as far as to accuse them.

“You are making a scandal of yourselves.” Qin Luan frowned, the joy he had gotten from obtaining the Cloud Wilderness Sword was now vanishing.

“Clearly, you planned to steal the swords of Zhang Long and Lu Bu Cong and tried to lay your hands on Seven Kill Daoist’s sword!” Song Ying shouted indignantly.

Wang Jue chuckled coldly, “Don’t play the victim here. Just to let you know, my master is a Divinity Transformation cultivator. Your lies here are pointless. My father would know with a glance who is telling the truth!”

The crowd stayed silent. Indeed, irrespective of the truth, Xuan Beizi was undisputedly the most advanced cultivator there. It didn’t matter whether the words were true or false, what mattered was Xuan Beizi’s opinion.

This wasn’t the Greater Zhou, they weren’t able to file a complaint to the authorities. The Greater Sui officials would not want to deal with someone like Xuan Beizi who has the backing of Vast Sky Star Sect. No matter what the result was, it would cause trouble and might even upset a Body Integration Realm cultivator.

Everybody could tell that Wang Jue was lying, but what of it? Here, might makes right.

“Father, please stand up for me.” Seeing that Qin Luan and his people were not willingly handing over the swords, which was a perfect excuse for him to take action, Wang Jue was ecstatic, “I said before, I’ll make my father show you!”

Confused by the lack of action from his master, Wang Jue turned his head and questioned, “Master?”

Xuan Beizi was dripping cold sweat, he was visibly shaking, internally experiencing a storm. Others may not recognize the sword expert, but could he not?

Being an important member of the Fearless Alliance, he had studied the history of its founding and had seen the portrait of the sword expert.

It was definitely him, the sword expert!

The sword expert was alive again!

The feared sword expert that terrified the Fearless Alliance is back!

Xuan Beizi was considering if he should kill his disciple, who managed to blackmail the sword expert. You may not value your life but please don’t drag him into it!

“Your disciple said you’re going to show us something.” said the sword expert in a relaxed tone, “May I know what that might be?” Xuan Beizi squeezed out an uglier-than-crying smile.

“Do you think I look good?”
