After returning to the Aeon Tower, the Nine Suns Heavenly Monarch left Lin Xuan behind and left on his flying shuttle alone.
Lin Xuan, on the other hand, entered a cultivation room. As he swallowed pills, he frantically absorbed Yuan Qi to recover.
This time, using the Sword of the Human Emperor had drained all of his energy again without exception. He was almost unable to suppress the dragon egg in his stomach.
However, as the large number of pills evaporated and Yuan Qi surged into him, Lin Xuan's strength and Yuan Qi were rapidly replenished, allowing him to gradually recover to his peak.
Three days later, Lin Xuan opened his eyes and let out a long sigh.
His eyes were as calm as water, filled with endless depth and determination.
"The greatest gain from this trip to the Asura Ancient Sky was not the conditions promised by the Nine Suns Heavenly Monarch, but the true difference between myself and a Divine Transformation Realm powerhouse.
"With my current strength, even if I can use the Human Sovereign Sword, I won't be able to pose any threat to a Divine Transformation Realm powerhouse.
"Perhaps I'm close to the peak of the human race in the True Martial World. However, in the forest of powerhouses, I'm still just an insignificant character, a tiny chess piece.
"The master of the Human Sovereign Sword, haha. Perhaps it's more appropriate to call me the Human Sovereign Sword Slave …"
Lin Xuan laughed self-deprecatingly.
He recalled the moment he had swung the Human Sovereign Sword. The Nine Suns Heavenly Monarch had actually distorted space and sent his sword Qi to the giant coffin thousands of miles away.
This made him understand that it was very difficult for him to pose a threat to a Divine Transformation Realm powerhouse.
At the same time, what made him even more vigilant was that he had clearly felt the will of the Human Sovereign Sword when he had swung the sword.
The Human Sovereign Sword seemed to have hesitated for a moment. Although it had been very brief, Lin Xuan understood that if the Human Sovereign Sword didn't cooperate, he wouldn't be able to do anything.
This also made him decide that he would reduce his reliance on the Human Sovereign Sword from now on. He would even gradually reduce his reliance on other external forces.
As his cultivation increased and his understanding of the Heavenly Dao deepened, he could more clearly feel the existence of fate, karma, reincarnation, and other laws of heaven and earth.
Every treasure had its own origin. The more powerful a treasure was, the greater the karma it would be tainted with.
Sometimes, a person may feel that he has walked for a very long time and walked very far, but in reality, he may have just walked a circle and finally returned to the starting point.
Lin Xuan didn't want to go back to square one after working hard for decades, so he chose to stay away from things that he couldn't control as much as possible.
He took the sheathed longsword from his back, opened the space in his ring, and threw it in …
Hum —
The space shook, and a middle-aged man in a plain robe with long hair draped over his shoulders appeared in the cultivation room out of thin air.
Dignified, stern, and disdainful of all living things. The aura of an expert made others feel oppressed and in awe.
Dao of Humanity, Qing Emperor.
Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly. He was not surprised by the arrival of the Qing Emperor, but he still felt a little cautious. This was an instinctive respect for the strong.
He stood up and clasped his hands in greeting. "Senior Qing Emperor."
The Qing Emperor nodded slightly. "Lin Xuan, you were able to wield the Emperor's Sword so quickly. This greatly exceeded my expectations. The facts have also proven that we did not choose the wrong person."
"Senior, you flatter me. I was just lucky," Lin Xuan said calmly.
The Qing Emperor shook his head and smiled. "Whether it was luck or not, I know better than you. Alright, let's not talk about this. I heard from Jiuyang that you want me to help you subdue the Holy Ground Scabbard? "
"Yes." Lin Xuan nodded.
The Holy Ground Scabbard was said to have a great background. It was related to the foreign Sword Saint and the Sword Maste. If he couldn't control it, he couldn't be at ease.
The Qing Emperor said, "The Holy Ground Scabbard originally belonged to the Realm of True Force's Sword Maste. Logically speaking, with the strength of the Sword Maste, it was not qualified to occupy the Holy Ground. However, the Holy Ground Scabbard has been preserved in the Sword Maste for thousands of years without a change of owner. Do you know why? "
Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows and shook his head. "I don't know. Please enlighten me."
The Qing Emperor looked at Lin Xuan with deep eyes and said, "In fact, the Holy Ground Scabbard has another owner. The Sword Maste is only safekeeping it for someone else.
The owner of the Holy Ground took a fancy to the Sword Maste's thousands of sword souls. That's why he placed the Holy Ground in the Sword Maste, hoping to promote the evolution of the Holy Ground. "
"Oh? Who is the owner of the Holy Ground? "Lin Xuan asked curiously.
"It's better that you don't know who he is. All you need to know is that I can help you conquer the Holy Ground, but you will have to bear a lot of karma. One day in the future, you may have to pay a huge price for this, "the Qing Emperor said.
Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows and hesitated.
However, in just a moment, he smiled faintly and said, "This karma has already been formed. I have no other choice. Senior, please make your move."
With that, he decisively waved his hand and released the Holy Ground Scabbard. He threw the Sword of the Mortal Sovereign into the hands of the Qing Emperor.
The Qing Emperor looked at Lin Xuan in surprise. He seemed to be surprised by Lin Xuan's decision.
Before he showed up, Lin Xuan clearly did not want to rely on external objects, nor did he want to be involved in karma. Why did he change his mind now?
The Qing Emperor took the long sword in its scabbard. He was slightly dazed. After pausing for three breaths, he let out a complicated sigh.
"Alright, since you insist, I'll fulfill your wish."
The Qing Emperor's face suddenly became serious. He immediately held the scabbard with his left hand and made a gesture with his right hand. He made a series of purple seals on the scabbard. The seals were colorful and mysterious.
In the next moment, Lin Xuan watched in surprise as a golden octopus soul shadow was gradually pulled out of the Holy Ground Scabbard. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws, struggling with all its might.
Lin Xuan's eyes gradually widened. He looked at the octopus in disbelief.
At first glance, the octopus did not seem to be special.
However, if one looked closely, they would find that the octopus was shining with golden light. It was made of sword talismans.
Each Sword Talisman contained a profound Sword Dao Profundity.
The octopus condensed from hundreds and thousands of sword talismans undoubtedly condensed thousands of Sword Principle True Meanings. How amazing was that?!
If one could become the master of this octopus, the benefits would be unimaginable.
This made Lin Xuan even more determined.
The Qing Emperor did not hesitate. He used his Divine Power to control the octopus's will and remove the mark of its original master. Then, he had Lin Xuan force out his blood essence and release the Soul Seal to force the Holy Ground Scabbard to recognize him as its master.
From this moment on, Lin Xuan and the Holy Ground Scabbard established a close connection. All the secrets of the Holy Ground Scabbard were completely open to him.
Lin Xuan closed his eyes and investigated the secrets of the Holy Ground Scabbard. He was surprised and delighted. The benefits of making the Holy Ground Scabbard recognize him as its master were far beyond his imagination.
"Sword Maste! So this is the real Sword Maste! I've really hit the jackpot this time! "
After a long time, Lin Xuan opened his eyes. The joy in his eyes disappeared in a flash.
The Qing Emperor had already left.
Lin Xuan glanced around. The corners of his mouth gradually curved into a playful smile.
Just a moment ago, the reason he'd changed his mind was very simple. It wasn't because of his own intentions, and it was because there was a mysterious force guiding his thoughts and actions.
As for the source of that force, he did not want to delve into it. It was meaningless.
"It's time to go back. The situation in the Realm of True Force is not stable now. I'm afraid the Imperial Dao Clone will not be able to control the situation. "
"However, before I go back, I need to enter the Human Emperor Secret Realm again and bring Lin San and Li Ya Gu An out …"
