(Thank you all for supporting me. Can I get into the top hundred with more monthly votes?)
Everything was under Chu Mu's control.
Although the current True Sword Sect had several Sword Saints and displayed great strength and shocking potential, it was far from enough. Within the Canglan Empire, the strength of the True Sword Sect's experts could enter the top hundred. If the entire True Sword Sect was included, it would be difficult for them to enter the top thousand, let alone the entire Deep Blue World.
The future was very far away. There was still a lot of room for development. It would take a long time, at least a hundred years.
Before they could develop, the True Sword Sect needed a powerful backer. Otherwise, it would be difficult to intimidate those who had bad intentions.
Chu Mu believed that there must be many people who had their eyes on the True Sword Sect and his powerful sword technique.
The Heavenly Sword Saint Venerable, a Saint King expert. This backer was powerful enough.
Chu Mu wanted the people of the various sects to know. He also needed them to spread the news and let more people know. This would further increase the reputation of the True Sword Sect.
Was Chu Mu lying?
Some rational people wouldn't think so. Once such words were spoken, many people would definitely know about it. It might even reach the ears of the Heavenly Sword Saint Venerable. If it was fake, the Heavenly Sword Saint Venerable would never allow someone to use his name.
The True Sword Sect already possessed the potential to become a super sect. All they lacked was the accumulation of disciples. There were several Sword Saints in the sect, and one of them was a Seven Star Sword Saint. They also had the backing of a Saint King like the Heavenly Sword Saint, so the True Sword Sect already possessed the potential to become a super sect.
This banquet lasted for three days and three nights before it ended. All the guests left to their heart's content. Every one of them had a great harvest.
… …
In the Canglan Imperial City, the Canglan Emperor sat straight in the Centermost Hall of the Canglan Imperial Palace. He looked solemn and motionless, as if he was listening to something. The strange thing was that there was no one around, nor was there any sound.
Moments later, the Canglan Emperor Huyan Zhan muttered to himself, "The sect master of the True Sword Sect indeed possesses extraordinary strength. Being able to kill a one star and two star Saint at the Eighth Heavenly Layer, it looks like he did not rely on any treasure, but his own strength. Such talent is indeed unparalleled throughout the ages. No one can compare to him."
"The number one Sword Saint in the Firmament Territory, Light Sword Saint Xia Zhenkong, is an elder of the Real Sword Sect."
"Sky Sword Saint Venerable, one of the five Saint Venerables of the Blue Ocean Human Clan, is actually the Patriarch of the Real Sword Sect …"
Huyan Zhan was unable to remain calm as he read the news. He was extremely shocked, especially the first and third news. As for Xia Zhenkong, although he was very strong, Huyan Zhan still didn't put him in his eyes.
The founder of the Canglan Dynasty, the first emperor, was a Saint Emperor. He was also known as the Saint Sovereign overseas.
The Holy Emperor of the Canglan Dynasty hadn't appeared for many years. For the previous emperors of the Canglan Dynasty, as long as they reached the peak of the Nine Heavenly Layers of the Immemorial Heavenly Layer, they would definitely step down and cultivate in seclusion. They would strive to break through and become a Holy Emperor, but until now, there hadn't been a second Holy Emperor.
Therefore, a Holy Emperor expert was enough to attract Huyan Zhan's attention.
"It seems that we have to change our attitude towards the Real Sword Sect," Huyan Zhan said indifferently as he looked up at the sky outside.
The news that the Real Sword Sect had a Holy Emperor Ancestor spread like a storm. In a short time, it had spread throughout the Canglan Dynasty and to the Outer Regions. It was going to spread throughout the Inner Regions and then to the Outer Regions.
A Holy Emperor was a supreme existence with absolute strength.
"They actually have a Holy Emperor Ancestor as their backer." The Eighth Prince was shocked. Then, he smiled and said, "Xiao Si, get ready. I'm going to the Real Sword Sect to become a disciple."
"Your Highness …" The person called Xiao Si trembled and turned pale with fright.
"Go and get ready," the Eighth Prince said with a wave of his sleeve.
More and more people rushed to the Real Sword Sect from all directions. Many of them came from the Outer Regions, such as the Firmament Territory, the Leaning Mountain Territory, and other large territories adjacent to the Canglan Dynasty.
At this moment, the Real Sword Sect, which had just quieted down, welcomed a new and distinguished guest.
A dragon's roar could be heard in the sky outside the Real Sword Sect. It attracted the attention of the disciples of the Real Sword Sect. They all looked up and were shocked.
Seven hundred-meter-long silver flood dragons were pulling a huge chariot. The chariot was covered in dragon patterns. Gold and silver colors intertwined. It looked simple and dignified, but also magnificent.
Powerful auras emanated from the seven flood dragons and spread out in all directions. Each flood dragon was at least comparable to a mid-level Holy Emperor expert.
There was also a powerful aura condensed on the huge gold and silver chariot. It was a powerful aura that surpassed the mid-level Holy Emperor level.
On both sides of the huge chariot, there were nine cultivators riding on giant silver eagles. Each of them had a sword on their back and wore silver star-patterned armor. They looked very mighty, and each of them exuded the aura of a Holy Emperor expert.
The giant silver eagle's head was similar to a flood dragon's, and it had a single horn. It was a variant of the eagle species, the Dragon Eagle.
The flag on the chariot fluttered. It was the image of a giant Dragon Eagle.
Chu Mu did not recognize the image on the flag. No one in the entire Real Sword Sect could recognize it. However, some people deduced that this group of people came from the imperial family.
Why would the imperial family come to the Real Sword Sect?
As he guessed, Chu Mu appeared in the sky outside the Real Sword Sect with the elders of the Real Sword Sect, waiting for the other party to approach.
The seven flood dragons stopped several hundred meters away from Chu Mu and the others. They roared and bared their fangs and claws. Their powerful auras surged into the storm and wreaked havoc.
The door of the huge chariot opened, and a tall figure appeared. He wore exquisite armor intertwined with gold and silver, a scarlet cape, and a Dragon Eagle Helmet on his head.
"I am the Dragon Eagle King of the Canglan imperial family," said the person. This person spoke. His voice was loud and clear, and there was a hint of sharpness in it. His eyes were extremely sharp, and his aura was majestic. He was clearly an Eight-Star Martial Saint.
"Chu Mu, the master of the Real Sword Sect, greets the Dragon Eagle King." Chu Mu bowed slightly, and the elders followed suit. They were neither servile nor overbearing.
"Greetings, master and elders," said the Dragon Eagle King. "This king has come on the orders of the emperor to reward the Real Sword Sect."
His words expressed his goodwill, and it was reassuring.
No matter what, the Canglan imperial family was the largest force in the Canglan Empire. They had a Saint Emperor and countless experts. They had a deep foundation. Even the Primordial Sect, which could be called the number one sect in the empire, was unwilling to become enemies with the imperial family.
"Please come in, Dragon Eagle King." Chu Mu gestured with his hand.
The Dragon Eagle King nodded and entered the Real Sword Sect with his guards. As for the seven flood dragons and the huge chariot, they were placed outside the main hall of the Real Sword Sect.
In the imperial family, those who were given the title of king were at least seven-star Holy Emperors. They either had the direct bloodline of the imperial family, which meant that they were brothers with the Canglan emperor, or they were commoner princes who had made great contributions to the Canglan Empire.
The Dragon Eagle King was not a commoner prince.
Within the main hall of the sect, Chu Mu personally received the Dragon Eagle King. The seven-star Sword Saint Xia Zhenkong was naturally present as well.
"Sect Master Chu, I've come this time to convey my royal brother's goodwill." The Dragonhawk King was very direct when he spoke. He did not beat around the bush. Before coming, the Canglan Emperor Huyan Zhan had already told him his attitude towards the True Sword Sect. He wanted to rope them in, not suppress them by force. Therefore, the Dragonhawk King's attitude was very amiable.
If someone familiar with him saw this scene, they would definitely be very surprised. The Dragon Eagle King was infamous for his ruthlessness. He was not easy to get along with.
Although the Dragon Eagle King was ruthless and decisive, he was not stupid. He knew the Canglan emperor's attitude. He also knew that the Real Sword Sect did not seem that powerful. He alone could sweep them all away. However, the Real Sword Sect had the Heavenly Sword Saint as their backer.
He had come here to convey his goodwill. If he pretended to be arrogant and caused conflict, it would not do him or the royal family any good.
"The Real Sword Sect already has experts now. It even has a rare genius like Sect Master Chu leading it. Its rise is inevitable. The Real Sword Sect is a sect of our dynasty. If it becomes stronger, it will be beneficial for the dynasty as well. As a result, the royal family will support the development of the Real Sword Sect," the Dragon Eagle King said. "The Ancient Beast Mountain and everything within a thousand miles will belong to the Real Sword Sect. From now on, it will belong to the Real Sword Sect. The Real Sword Sect can name itself. The royal family will announce it to the world."
As soon as the Dragon Eagle King said that, Chu Mu and the others were pleasantly surprised.
All the land under the heavens belonged to the royal family. All the land under the heavens belonged to the royal family.
Every inch of land in the Canglan Dynasty belonged to the royal family.
For example, the mountains where the various sects were currently located were under the jurisdiction of those sects. However, once the royal family became serious, they could easily take back the land and mountains because the entire Canglan Dynasty belonged to the royal family.
However, now that the royal family's emperor had personally announced to the world that the Ancient Beast Mountain and everything within a thousand miles would belong to the Real Sword Sect, it meant that the land and Ancient Beast Mountain truly belonged to the Real Sword Sect. There was no need to worry about it being taken back in the future, unless the Canglan royal family was criticized by others.
Of course, everything still had to do with strength. If one was not strong enough, their things would eventually belong to someone else.
No matter what, the Ancient Beast Mountain and everything within a thousand miles would belong to the Real Sword Sect. The Real Sword Sect had the right to name it. They could also modify it according to their wishes and so on, turning it into a cultivation ground that was truly suitable for the Real Sword Sect.
If the Real Sword Sect wanted to develop, they needed experts, disciples, resources, and an environment.
"Dragon Eagle King, please convey my gratitude to His Majesty," Chu Mu said sincerely.
"Haha, I hope that you can grow up quickly. When the time comes, fight me to your heart's content." The Dragon Eagle King laughed. He was a battle-hungry person.
"Then you'll have to wait a little longer, Dragon Eagle King," Chu Mu said with a smile.
"No rush, no rush. Do you have good wine?" After finishing the business, the Dragon Eagle King wanted to drink with Chu Mu because he found Chu Mu very pleasing to the eye.
