"The important task of reviving the Crane Sect has been handed to you, so this thing, is also the time to hand it over to you."
No one was able to associate this simple and unadorned sword with a gold star treasure.
"My senses are very vague, and I am unable to pinpoint the area. In the vast sea of people, the chances are slim, maybe in 10 years, maybe in my entire life, I will not get anything. Leaving the quiet and peaceful Heavenly Crane Constellation, entering the dangerous Heaven's Road, I can lose my life at any time. This task is dangerous, arduous, uncertain, and unknown, who is willing to go? "
Elder Crane's face surfaced a look of pride, his tone was as firm as steel.
A ray of flowing light, it entered Crane's palm.
"Yes." Crane bowed slightly.
"I know, it is not easy for everyone. Our Crane Sect has been passed down to this day, honestly speaking, not to mention the glory when it was first established, even continuing on is not easy. Everyone is under a lot of pressure, if not for our internal unity, Heavenly Crane Constellation would have long changed hands. We have a long history, with a glorious past, but now that we are in such a decline, talking about the past will only invite ridicule. If this goes on, no one knows how long the Crane Sect can last. "
In the silent Crane Hall, the Great Clan Elder sighed, directly striking at everyone's heart.
The highest grade saint treasures, could be counted with one's fingers, Leo Constellation's Raging Lionheart Sword, Sagittarius Constellation's Heavenly Bow, were all saint treasures. Only the biggest constellations could produce saint treasures.
As though sensing Crane's thoughts, suddenly, the "Crane" word on the sword sheath lit up with a dazzling light aura. The word flowed like molten iron, and under Crane's shocked gaze, it slowly floated up from the sword sheath.
※ ※ ※
Elder Crane could not help but reveal a smile, Crane was perfect in all aspects, the only thing that made Elder Crane uncomfortable was that he was too mature. Crane's maturity far exceeded his age, as though no matter what happened, nothing could surprise him.
His white robes were as white as snow, without a speck of dust, his silver hair cascading down his shoulders.
Crane immediately opened up his palm, revealing a crane-shaped imprint on his palm.
Upon thinking about searching for an unknown target, and obtaining the inheritance from the other party, such a matter sounded like a joke, an impossible joke.
"But, I can see the light of our Crane Sect's revival." Elder Crane's turbid eyes shone with an indescribable light aura.
If others knew that the Heavenly Crane Constellation had a Gold Treasure …
"When you were born, your father named you Crane, hoping that you could revitalize the Crane Sect. I never thought that the heavy responsibility of the Crane Sect would fall on your shoulders today." Old Crane sighed.
Furthermore, Father …
Crane bowed slightly, and calmly replied: "Mother has already agreed."
A hint of gratification flashed through Old Crane's eyes.
Crane's heart shivered.
Suddenly, a calm and steady voice resounded in the hall.
Without thinking, Crane knew that to the Crane Sect, it would be a calamity.
Crane was slightly embarrassed, but quickly regained his composure.
A tall man stepped out of the ranks. His body was as straight as a spear, and he was exceptionally eye-catching in the main hall. His face was as gentle as jade, and his expression was calm. His bright black eyes were as deep as the night sky.
He opened the wooden box, and a plain ancient sword appeared in front of him.
My name is "Crane", this sword is also called "Crane", are we destined to meet?
Crane looked at Elder Crane in a daze. He never thought that his sect would have such a secret.
"From today onwards, it and the future of the Crane Sect will be in your hands, Crane."
Everyone looked at each other. They initially thought that Elder Crane's senses would at least have a rough range, but who knew that he did not even have a range.
"Many people think that the Heavenly Crane Constellation's peak Star Treasure is the silver-ranked Heavenly Crane Armor." Old Crane's gaze became deep.
Crane was stunned when he heard that. This was the first time his expression changed since he entered the house.
"That's good." Elder Crane nodded. Looking at the similar face of the crane in front of him, another figure appeared in his mind. "When I look at you, I think of your father. I watched him grow up. You are even more outstanding than your father. Your father's spirit in heaven will definitely be gratified. "
There was not a single pattern on the sword's body, and it was dim. On the scabbard, there was only an ancient seal — Crane.
No one spoke.
"Is there anyone else who is willing?" Elder Crane looked around.
Disappointment flashed in Elder Crane's eyes.
Crane opened the wooden box in a daze. Many of Elder Crane's words had impacted him greatly. The shocking secret of the Crane Sect stunned him. He did not expect that the Crane Sect that he grew up in would have such a huge secret.
A gold-ranked Star Treasure!
Crane's face was calm: "Mother loved father deeply. She is very happy that I can inherit father's dying wish."
Was he going to search the entire world for it?
Crane's mountain-like body trembled, and his face was filled with disbelief.
"Haha, even Crane is shocked. That's rare." Elder Crane laughed.
Crane bowed slightly: "Don't worry."
Elder Crane's face was solemn. He stood up and walked to a corner. He picked up a dusty wooden box and returned to his seat.
If this news were to spread, it would immediately cause a bloodbath. The experts would not even bother to touch the silver-ranked [Heavenly Crane Armor]. But the gold-ranked Star Treasure was something that even the legendary figures would not be able to maintain their composure.
Iron, bronze, silver, gold, saint treasures.
Elder Crane gently placed the wooden box in front of Crane.
The reason why the Crane Sect was able to maintain the rule of the Heavenly Crane Constellation was because the big powerhouses looked down on the Heavenly Crane Constellation. They thought that the Heavenly Crane Constellation was just a barren place. If they only knew that the Heavenly Crane Constellation had a gold-ranked treasure, then …
Many people's eyes were filled with fear. The Heavenly Crane Constellation was peaceful and quiet. There were no disputes. It was like a paradise. Although there was no wealth, there was no danger. Although everyone longed for the glory of the past, they were already used to the comfort of the present.
Every constellation did not only have one star treasure. All these star treasures were nurtured by the constellation for billions of years. Star treasures that were born from the same constellation would be seen as a series. These star treasures would usually have some common characteristics. But different star treasures would have a huge difference in power. Thus, people classified these star treasures into different grades.
The Great Clan Elder's expression was solemn. His gaze suddenly became sharp. He slowly swept his gaze across everyone and said.
Elder Crane's low and hoarse voice resonated in the hall.
Elder Crane's turbid eyes did not show any joy or anger. He nodded his head: "Then let's do it."
Crane's slender fingers caressed the "Crane" word on the sword sheath.
Tang Tian's Aquarius Martial Cabinet was only a black iron treasure, a beginner grade treasure.
"This sword was the first star treasure that Crane Spiritual Master subdued when he entered the Heavenly Crane Constellation. It was also Crane Spiritual Master's sword. Crane Spiritual Master's strength was extraordinary. This sword had only been unsheathed three times in his life. Almost no one knew about it. Even the disciples around him knew about it. Crane Spiritual Master seemed to have foreseen the decline of the Crane Sect. To prevent people from coveting it, this sword had never appeared after Crane Spiritual Master passed away. Every generation, there would be a disciple who would be chosen to be the guardian of the sword. I am this generation's guardian disciple. "
"The Crane Body was the most important part of the true inheritance that our Crane Sect had lost. But now, it has appeared again. To us, this is an opportunity. This might be our last chance. If we are unable to let the true inheritance return to the Crane Sect, our Crane Sect will be annihilated in another 10 years. "
"So, I need someone to bring back the Crane Sect's true inheritance that has been lost for 900 years."
In the dark room, the oil lamp that was as big as a bean would occasionally crackle.
"Actually, in my heart, you are the best choice. But I did not expect … sigh …" Elder Crane sighed. His gaze once again focused on the young man: "You are the most outstanding disciple in the third generation. With your talent, staying in the Crane Sect, honestly speaking, would be a waste. If you had … your achievements today would not stop there. The Crane Sect has dragged you down. Your mother is very disappointed in the Crane Sect. Actually, I am very disappointed too. "
"You are overpraising me." Crane's expression did not change. He sat upright as usual.
In other words, the highest grade of star treasures signified the potential value of the constellation.
"Disciple Crane is willing to go."
Gold rank treasures were powerful treasures that were second only to saint treasures. Every single one of them was a powerful existence that martial artists yearned for. Every single gold rank treasure could not be circulated in the market. Only the top grade constellations could produce gold rank treasures.
"This sword, I was originally prepared to give it to your father. He was the most passionate and hopeful young man I have ever met. I always thought that the future of the Crane Sect was in his hands. I did not expect that fate would make a fool out of you. After he passed away, you inherited his wishes. Maybe, this is fate. "
Elder Crane looked at the young man sitting upright. Crane's expression was so calm that it did not match his age. Elder Crane sighed and broke the silence: "Is there no problem with your mother?"
Elder Crane stopped laughing. His expression became solemn again: "The silver rank Heavenly Crane Clothing has always been seen as the inheritance of the Crane Sect. It is the highest grade treasure of the Heavenly Crane Constellation. The Heavenly Crane Constellation is seen as a small constellation. This is also an important reason. But very few people know that the strongest star treasure of the Heavenly Crane Constellation is not the silver rank [Heavenly Crane Clothing], but the gold rank [Crane Sword]! "
"Yes, it was not easy for them in the past. Your mother is worthy of respect." Elder Crane thought about the past. He quickly regained his senses and laughed at himself: "When one is old, it is easy to recall the past. Your strength, compared to all the elders, is more outstanding. I am not worried. But you are still young, and do not have the experience to travel far. That is my only worry. I have roamed outside in the past. The dangers of Heaven's Road are everywhere. You must remember, sometimes, wisdom is more useful than fists. "
No one spoke. All of the elders lowered their heads. Some of them shrunk back into the crowd, afraid of being called out by Elder Crane.
Elder Crane's gaze was fixated on Crane's young face.
