Chapter 67
Jiang Chulong was taken aback.
She hadn’t introduced herself at all, had she?
How did the Tianzun (Heavenly Sovereign) know?
“Born with a sword embryo, possessing the bones of the Tianzun’s imperial sword, yet taken away by your own kin.”
“Now, you are being hunted by the Xun Tian Wei (Sky Patrol).”
Jiang Chulong: “!”
Her mouth fell slightly open.
Why did the Tianzun know everything?
In fact, she didn’t even know what to call the extra bone in her chest.
“To receive the Ancient Intent Ring and stand before me, how could that not be considered great fortune?”
“But... but that bone... I no longer have it.”
Jiang Chulong bit her lip until it turned pale.
The Tianzun’s imperial sword bone.
This elder was also known as the Yuanshi Tianzun (Primordial Heavenly Sovereign).
It must be for this reason that he summoned her.
“This is a good thing.”
The Yuanshi Tianzun said lightly.
“Ah?”
Jiang Chulong’s eyes widened, filled with confusion.
“The sword bone can make a person, but it can also bind a person.”
“You’ve lost the sword bone, yet you can forge your own path. How is that not a good thing?”
“There is a child in the Wilderness Realm whose Supreme Bone was taken, yet he later grew a second and a third.”
“One day, when you stand higher and look back, those will merely be fleeting clouds.”
His calm tone instilled an inexplicable sense of trust.
As if the so-called sword bone was nothing but an ordinary object.
“Stand higher?”
Jiang Chulong was bewildered.
Wilderness Realm?
Supreme Bone?
She didn’t quite understand, but it sounded impressive.
But she had stood at a decent height before... If the sword bone wasn’t important, why would her brother the Crown Prince have fought for it?
“You are still young and ignorant; that’s only natural.”
The Yuanshi Tianzun chuckled, seemingly resigned to the girl’s naivety.
“The history of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is vast; the Dayu Dynasty is but a ripple in the river of time.”
“In ancient times, the Heavenly Court ruled over the thirty-three heavens, controlling the stars of the Zhou Tian and creating all things in the world.”
“The ruler of the Heavenly Court back then was known as Haotian Shangdi, who endured tribulations for one hundred thousand and thirty thousand times, each tribulation lasting one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred years, ultimately mastering the Great Dao.”
He didn’t just speak.
There was even a visual display.
The white clouds in the sky began to gather and disperse, illustrating countless scenes as the Yuanshi Tianzun narrated.
Golden light shone in myriad ways, and auspicious colors danced in the air.
Among them, through the massive Southern Heavenly Gate, thirty-three treasure palaces were arrayed, and the seventy-two palaces sparkled like stars, with various true dragons and phoenixes soaring and dancing.
Little master, there’s more in this chapter, please click the next page to continue reading; it gets even more exciting!
A glazed plate held the Zixia Dan furnace, and the vast expanse of the Jade Tree in the Guanghan Palace stretched endlessly.
It was an immersive experience.
Jiang Chulong was somewhat entranced by the heavenly scenes.
This was merely a manifestation in the clouds.
If it were the real Heavenly Court, wouldn’t it be even more astonishing?
She could already glimpse the glory of ancient times from this faint afterglow.
The Tianzun truly wasn’t exaggerating.
Compared to this, the Dayu Dynasty really didn’t amount to much.
Moreover...
One hundred thousand and thirty thousand tribulations, each lasting one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred years?
Jiang Chulong didn’t even try to count on her fingers this time.
It definitely wouldn’t be enough.
Buzz—
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, dispersing the clouds and mist.
The Yuanshi Tianzun’s melancholic voice echoed:
“All things have an end; if one cannot become immortal, they will ultimately fade away in time.”
“I am now but a remnant soul.”
“Remnant soul?!”
Jiang Chulong’s heart tightened.
If just a remnant soul was so mysterious, how powerful was the Tianzun in his prime?
“Hahaha... the world is unpredictable.”
“I never expected that a ring I casually tossed away countless ages ago would take root and flourish today.”
“Indeed!”
“I wish to take you as my disciple and impart all I know.”
“My request is simple: when your strength is sufficient, help me revive!”
“Girl, do you want to become stronger?”
The Yuanshi Tianzun’s words carried an undeniable authority, filled with boundless confidence.
Do you want to become stronger?
Do you want to become stronger?
Jiang Chulong clutched her chest, as if removing her hand would cause her heart to leap out at the sound of those words.
She?
Helping the Tianzun? That would surely be incredibly difficult...
In that moment, images flashed before her eyes: her mother’s gravestone, her father’s cold face, her brother the Crown Prince’s bloodied dagger, and Aunt Mei’s resolute expression as she led the Sky Patrol away...
She thought.
And she didn’t know how to refuse.
“Um... I... I’m willing.”
“Speak up, I can’t hear you.”
“I’m willing!”
“Good! That’s the spirit!”

Chapter 63: Little Princess Jiang’s Extraordinary Sword Talent
“Master... if I practice with you... one day... can I bring the dead back to life?”
Jiang Chulong’s eyes sparkled with hope.
Her father had always resented her because of her mother.
What if... what if she could bring her mother back?
Upon hearing this, the Yuanshi Tianzun... also known as Little Li, fell into deep thought.
Is it possible?
At least, he had never heard of any method that could bring someone back to life.
After gaining his small world, he understood that life is truly a creation of heaven and earth; even as the master of the world, he could not create life out of nothing.
Didn’t the emperors of the Dayu Dynasty desire immortality?
If such a method existed, why not resurrect the founding Emperor Wu?
But he had a system.
The system was an existence beyond reason...
Whether it was this thought or the unwillingness to shatter her hopes, Li Mo ultimately nodded:
“There is.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chulong stood frozen in place, as if struck by lightning, the flame of hope in her eyes growing brighter.
She wanted to become stronger!
“I’m really amazing.”
Looking at the girl across from him, she clenched her small fist, cheering herself on.
Little Li let out a long sigh of relief.
It wasn’t easy to astonish a princess like this.
Fortunately, as a seasoned bookworm, he had a wealth of knowledge!
When it came to boasting, no one could compare to those who wrote novels.
Little Princess Jiang must have been thoroughly dazzled.
“Master... Master is great...”
“Thank you... you...
The girl suddenly stood up and bowed deeply, her frail shoulders trembling with excitement.
Like a little white flower in the ruins, it would strive to grow towards the light at the slightest glimmer...
Sigh.
How touching.
Little Li felt a twinge of guilt in his heart.
To deceive such a girl, his conscience ached.
But.
Little Princess Jiang truly needed some confidence.
It was all a kind-hearted lie...
“Alright, I won’t tell you any more secrets. Sometimes knowing too much isn’t beneficial.”
“From today onward, just follow me diligently in your training. Given time, even the Dayu Dynasty will have to crawl at your feet.”
“Mm!”
Jiang Chulong nodded earnestly.
If anyone overheard this bizarre conversation, they would surely think both of them had lost their minds.
But Little Princess Jiang, having learned of her master’s background, was already fully convinced.
“So... Master... what do you plan to teach me first?”
“Hmm, since you’ve never practiced martial arts before, let’s start with the basics of Qi and Blood.”
Li Mo lowered his deep voice.
“A tall building rises from the ground; you need to take it step by step.”
“Though your sword bone is gone, it’s precisely because of this that the potential of your innate sword embryo has been stimulated, making your foundation even more solid.”
Hearing the praise, Jiang Chulong shyly lowered her head.
She hadn’t expected that losing the sword bone would turn out to be a good thing?
“Master... can I... create my own path?”
Huh?
Li Mo was momentarily taken aback.
He had been pondering for a long time about what Qi and Blood martial arts to prepare for Jiang Chulong.
“Hmm... you said before... to forge your own path...”
Jiang Chulong stammered.
Little Li understood.
What Little Princess Jiang meant was that although she hadn’t practiced martial arts, during her time at the Tianshan Sword Manor, she had observed many swords and weapons, even if they were all broken.
