Chapter 185 Sword Token
With the initial gasp, everyone's expression changed drastically.
"My God, it truly is the aura of the Supreme Ruler!"
"The legendary image of the supreme ruler, I never imagined I would see it in my lifetime. My life has been worthwhile!"
"Your Majesty, it seems the position of Crown Prince is none other than His Highness Longyuan!"
……
The ministers below gasped in astonishment. Why were they so surprised? Because this image of the emperor, the supreme ruler, had only appeared once before in the long history of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
If one possesses five or more strands of the Emperor's Dragon Aura, one can wield the Xuanyuan Sword. Furthermore, the more the Dragon Aura splits, the deeper one's fortune and the more limitless one's future prospects.
However, the splitting of the Emperor's Dragon Qi also has an upper limit, which is nine. Nine Heavenly Dragon Qi represent the upper limit of the Emperor's Dragon Qi's splitting.
These nine dragon energies of the emperor are also known as the supreme ruler.
The supreme ruler, who reigns supreme, is invincible and unbreakable; all under heaven submit to him. This symbolizes the establishment of unparalleled achievements.
In the history of the Southern Tang Dynasty, only one person split off nine imperial dragon energies and achieved the supreme status of the emperor – that was the founding emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
The man who, with only one sword, laid the foundation for the Southern Tang Kingdom's millennia-long rule and was revered as its ancestor by its subjects.
Apart from the founding emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, no other monarch in history has ever been able to generate nine dragon auras, achieving the supreme status of the emperor. Those who achieved eight dragon auras were all renowned and celebrated great monarchs in the history of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
At this moment, everyone witnessed the birth of the supreme dragon aura, how could the ministers not be surprised?
Even Su Lie, the Marquis of Shenwei, who had always been very optimistic about Lin Fei, was so excited that his body trembled slightly: "The image of the supreme ruler! It is actually the image of the supreme ruler! Daughter, do you see it? Your son is a born king, destined to leave a strong mark on the history of my Southern Tang Kingdom, and even the history of the entire land of China!"
"It's actually the aura of the Supreme Emperor!" Emperor Li Yu of Tang sighed upon seeing this. "It seems I made a mistake back then. I shouldn't have sent Yuan'er to the Jade Emperor Sect. Oh well, this throne should have belonged to him anyway. With his talent, there will be no one else as the crown prince."
Upon seeing the aura of the supreme emperor, Li Yu also believed that the position of crown prince belonged to Lin Fei alone. After all, the aura of the supreme emperor was extremely rare, and historically, only the founding emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty had ever possessed it.
Just as Li Yu raised his hand to retrieve the Xuanyuan Sword, the sword, which had transformed into a dragon, suddenly roared.
A powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted from the golden dragon, its immense power seemingly capable of destroying the entire imperial city.
Su Lie frowned, let out a soft snort, and transformed his true energy into a protective barrier, completely blocking the spiritual power unleashed by the Xuanyuan Golden Dragon.
If it weren't for a master like Su Lie present, the golden dragon's terrifying spiritual power, once unleashed, would likely have completely destroyed the area around the ancestral temple, and even the entire imperial palace. And among the ministers present, only those at the Dharma Aspect realm or higher would probably have survived.
"What happened? What's wrong with the Xuanyuan Divine Sword?"
"Disaster! Disaster! The Xuanyuan Divine Sword has actually become enraged! This is an absolute disaster!"
"What exactly happened? Why is the Xuanyuan Divine Sword so enraged?"
……
Upon seeing this, the ministers below also became tense.
You must understand, this Xuanyuan Sword is a divine weapon passed down through generations of the Southern Tang royal family, and can be said to be the foundation of the entire Southern Tang kingdom. As the saying goes, a divine sword possesses a spirit, and the sudden outburst of violence from this Xuanyuan Sword would be seen by anyone as an ominous sign.
But the rage of the Xuanyuan Sword was far from over. A faint red light flickered in the golden dragon's eyes, and with a roar, it pounced towards Lin Fei.
Lin Fei was shocked: "What's going on? Why is the Xuanyuan Sword suddenly attacking me?"
He never expected that the Xuanyuan Sword would attack him. He had previously condensed nine Heavenly Dragon energies, meaning he had gained the Xuanyuan Sword's complete approval. Why would the Xuanyuan Sword suddenly attack him?
Lin Fei was puzzled, and at the same time, he had no way to resist the attack of this divine weapon.
Even his indestructible Vajra Divine Skill was like paper before the Xuanyuan Divine Sword. This was the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, hailed as the most powerful weapon among the Ten Ancient Divine Weapons. Let alone those at the Acupoint Realm, even those at the first level of the Dharma Aspect Realm would be instantly killed facing this divine weapon's attack. The powerful sword energy it unleashed earlier was enough to instantly kill ordinary people at the fourth or fifth level of the Acupoint Realm.
Lin Fei hurriedly retreated, while simultaneously channeling his Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill—although the Xuanyuan Divine Sword was incredibly powerful, Lin Fei was absolutely not going to sit idly by and wait to die.
Just when the situation was extremely critical, a golden light suddenly shone from Lin Fei's body.
A beam of light shot out from Lin Fei's body and rushed towards the berserk golden dragon.
Lin Fei was slightly taken aback, but then he recognized the object in the golden light—it was the sword token he had obtained from the Heavenly Hidden Sword Sect.
That sword token also emitted an incomparably powerful sword aura, rushing directly towards the Xuanyuan Sword, one of the Ten Ancient Divine Weapons, without any fear.
The two collided, and the resulting fluctuations in spiritual energy formed a visible shockwave that cracked the ground beneath their feet. The shockwave subsided only after it collided with the protective barrier formed by Su Lie's true energy.
The golden dragon let out a mournful cry, its form shifting back to that of the Xuanyuan Sword, seemingly preparing to launch a second attack on the sword token. But then, Emperor Li Yu of Tang waved his hand: "Xuanyuan Sword, return!"
As if summoned, the Xuanyuan Sword flew back into Li Yu's hand with great reluctance.
Only one sword token remained, floating in mid-air, radiating an extremely strong sword intent.
"What is that thing? How could it possibly be able to withstand the divine weapon, the Xuanyuan Sword?"
"That token looks familiar. Is there something engraved on it?"
"It's a sword token, a sword token from the Heavenly Hidden Sword Sect! I never imagined that His Highness Longyuan would possess such a thing!"
……
The ministers below were discussing among themselves, and some with sharp eyes recognized the token as the sword token of the Heavenly Hidden Sword Sect.
Those who obtain the Heavenly Hidden Sword Sect's sword token are qualified to compete for the swordsmanship inheritance of the world's number one expert—the Hidden Sword Elder. Lin Fei's token, however, was clearly engraved with the number fourteen.
This means that he is ranked fourteenth in the sequence and is qualified to inherit the swordsmanship of the strongest person in the world.
