“Shocking: A Man Dares Ask in Public if He’s Handsome” – Heavenly Machine

LNevvs

Originally, the headline was: Shocking: A Man Dares Ask Sword Monarch in Public If He’s Handsome.

The owner of the Sky Mechanism Tower slapped his arm and leg, deeming he wouldn’t be able to withstand a single strike from the Sword Monarch, so he changed the headline.

Afterwards, a passerby surnamed Jiang stated that Xuan Beizi wasn’t handsome.

The revival of Sword Monarch and his return to the Sword Pavilion is a major event that shocked all nine provinces.

“Have you seen the newspaper? Sword Monarch is back! The Heavenly Machine News states that he meditated on the Heart Devil Tribulation for four thousand years, finally reaching a great enlightenment. His innumerable swords combined as one, unraveling the principle of one sword breaking thousands of laws. In the end, he executed the dazzling sword, severing the Heart Demon.”

Jiang Li intentionally had this written in the Heavenly Machine News. He wanted people to think that it was Sword Monarch who conquered his own Heart Demon, saving him some face.

It’s better sounding to say that the Human Emperor conquered Sword Monarch’s Heart Demon, but to Jiang Li, it’s not a big deal. He didn’t need to embellish his reputation with such a story.

On the contrary, Sword Monarch, who disappeared for four thousand years, needed such a story to highlight his strength.

“Would this mean that we now have one more mighty power at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage in the nine provinces?”

“It’s not as simple as just having one more might at the Transcendance

Tribulation Stage. That’s the Transcendance Tribulation Stage of the Sword Dao, unparalleled in the world in terms of killing power and creativity. Who among their peers can stop him?”

“I don’t agree. Who among those who have cultivated to the Transcendance

Tribulation Stage can be considered inferior to others? You dare to assert that Sword Monarch is invincible at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, but I believe Sect Master Bai Hongtu of Dao Sect is stronger than Sword Monarch!”

“Bai Hongtu? Everybody calls him the number one sword cultivator in the nine provinces. But that’s only because he’s the only one among all the Transcendance Tribulation Stage practitioners who uses a sword. Has anyone of you ever seen Sect Master Bai draw his sword? I didn’t think so.”

“That’s ridiculous, the few mighty powers at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage have a good relationship. Against whom would Sect Master Bai draw his sword?”

“Who do you think is the strongest among those at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage?”

“The old Buddha has passed. It should be Commander Liu of the Imperial Palace. This old fossil has been to war with the Heavenly Demons from outside the realm numerous times, yet he still lives. He has passed two Immortal Tribulations. If the ladder to become an immortal hadn’t disappeared, he would’ve become an Immortal by now.”

“No, no, Commander Liu’s strong vitality doesn’t mean he’s powerful. In my opinion, Li Er, the Sect Master of the Body-incorporating Sect, is the strongest among those at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. He has passed the Immortal Tribulation once and controls several legendary bodies. Who can beat him?”

Someone scoffed, “Just because he controls legendary bodies, he’s the strongest? Do you think that all emperors use golden rods? The wins and losses between those at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage can’t be measured by such things.”

“Even though Yu Yin, the female emperor, is a rising star, she once vied for the position of Human Emperor with Jiang Li himself. Even Sect Master Bai Hongtu wasn’t a match for her. Now, with the support of national fortune and her Wishful Gourd, the other Transcendance Tribulation Stage practitioners might not be her match in a real battle.” A female cultivator highly praised Yu Yin, after all, Yu Yin is the only female cultivator at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

“Why don’t those at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage just fight? It will put all our guessing to an end.”

“…Your idea is quite dangerous. If those at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage fight, what will happen to the nine provinces?”

“They can go to the universe, after all, the movements from a Transcendance Tribulation Stage fight would definitely be huge, the entire nine provinces could see clearly.”

“That seems sensible. I’ll write a letter suggesting this to the Imperial Palace right away.”

People were enthusiastically discussing the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, which had nothing to do with them, but they never thought about what the Great Sui Dynasty thought about suddenly having one more Transcendance Tribulation Stage practitioner.

The Great Sui Dynasty isn’t bothered by it. After all, they’re not the ones suppressing the Sword Pavilion. They rushed to present a congratulatory gift. The Sui Emperor even stated that the royal court and the Sword Pavilion were like one family. The court happened to have a young princess living in seclusion, and just by chance, Sword Monarch had just accepted a disciple, allowing both families to further strengthen their bond.

Sword Monarch flatly refused.

Upon hearing the news relayed by his subordinate, the Sui Emperor wasn’t angry. Instead, he was amused. The marriage proposal was just a casual suggestion. Whether it was accepted or not didn’t matter. What mattered was that the court showed their support for the Sword Pavilion.

The Sword Monarch had no interest in politics, so the Sui Emperor wasn’t worried about his position.

The Sui Emperor wasn’t in a hurry, but someone else was.

The cultivators of the Fearless Alliance were trembling, fearing that Sword

Monarch would dredge up old grievances. Although they had numerous Body Integration Realm fighters, they still wouldn’t be enough for one Sword Monarch.

They couldn’t all be like Jiang Li, who, even at the Body Integration Realm, could survive unscathed under a Transcendance Tribulation Stage practitioner.

Yu Xingchen of the Vast Sky Star Sect was the most distressed. He didn’t know what bad luck he’d stumbled upon. First, the Imperial Palace chose him as the first target. Then his disciples tried to blackmail Sword Monarch’s disciple.

Sword Monarch merely punished Xuan Beizi’s master and his followers a little, kindly suggesting that Yu Xingchen send these people to the White Marsh Emperor’s territory.

How could Yu Xingchen refuse? He immediately threw them into some remote ravine in the White Marsh Emperor’s territory. Whether they became hill leaders or got arrested by the mountain king was no longer his concern.

Ironically, Sword Monarch aligned with the Sword Pavilion’s opinion. He believed that he was being suppressed because he was weak. If he were as powerful as Jiang Li, who would dare to bully him?

To say he doesn’t hate the Fearless Alliance would be impossible. But Sword Monarch didn’t sweep the Fearless Alliance out of the Great Sui Dynasty and let the Sword Pavilion monopolize the dynasty. Instead, he went from house to house expressing that we are all cultivators who can’t defeat Jiang Li and should be at about the same level, so why not learn from each other?

After the exchange, the Fearless Alliance all agreed to behave honestly and work dutifully from now on.

The biggest beneficiary of Sword Monarch’s tour turned out to be the Sui Emperor.

In the Sui Emperor’s view, the Fearless Alliance was like a malignant tumor to the Great Sui Dynasty. They flouted the court’s authority because of their deep-rooted connections. Now, with Sword Monarch holding the line, the Fearless Alliance finally settled down.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the task. Would you like to claim the reward?]

As soon as Sword Monarch left the Sword Tomb, the system issued such a prompt. Jiang Li waited until he and Sword Monarch were apart before letting the system settle the reward.

A Soul Nourishing Ring appeared in Jiang Li’s hand. It was of no use to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li guessed that it was originally intended for Sword Monarch. According to the system’s description of the task, it should be that the bypass Heart

Demon function cannot completely erase the Heart Demon, but only weaken it. As Sword Monarch was unable to separate the Heart Demon from his physical body, after a difficult battle, Sword Monarch eliminated the Heart Demon, and also his physical body. Finally, he left the Sword Tomb in his soul form.

Fortunately, Jiang Li had a Soul Nourishing Ring. So Sword Monarch followed Jiang Li for a while, assisting him, and finding an opportunity to rebuild his physical body. With such a senior guide on the path of cultivation, it could save a lot of detours.

The script given by the system should be like this. But as he directly let Sword Monarch return to his physical body, bypassing the soul nourishing stage, the Soul Nourishing Ring became useless.

After the Soul Nourishing Ring, there was a damaged spiritual sword of Dao Artifact level.

Although it was deemed damaged, its power was terrifying. A Golden Core

Stage cultivator armed with this spiritual sword could challenge the Nascent Soul Stage.

Jiang Li took it up, and he could also challenge a higher stage. Jiang Li challenging the Transcendance Tribulation Stage at the Mahayana Stage wouldn’t be a problem!

So Jiang Li let it gather dust in his Storage Ring.

The final reward was a martial art technique named “Great Hand of Mountain Breaking”. One would harden their skin by pounding stones day and night, eventually growing a pair of iron hands capable of moving mountains and shattering the earth with ease.

This useful martial arts technique shouldn’t be kept to himself. Jiang Li planned to donate it to the vast number of miners in the nine provinces. They could cultivate it during their spare time at work, achieving both work and cultivation..
