Therefore, the thirty divine weapons that Aotian proposed were no small number.
As for the question he asked, no one was surprised.
Especially those in the martial arts world of the Han Dynasty, all know about the feud between Baijian Villa and Hero Sword.
the reason is simple.
The Hero Sword was forged by the Grand Sword Master, the founder of the Sword Sect, and has been stuck in the Cold Mountain Sword Peak for seven hundred years without anyone being able to move it.
In the martial arts world of the Han Dynasty, the Great Swordsman is a legendary figure, much like Lu Zu of Liyang. He pioneered the way of the sword and was invincible in his time, which is why the Sword Sect has been passed down for seven hundred years.
Therefore, the Hero Sword he forged has been praised throughout the martial arts world and is even regarded by many swordsmen as the number one divine weapon of the Han Dynasty.
Especially after Nameless wielded the Hero Sword and roamed the world, the Hero Sword's fame spread even further.
This is clearly a problem for the Sword Worship Manor, whose business is sword forging.
As long as the legend of the Hero's Sword remains, the famous swords of Baijian Manor will never be able to surpass it.
As the master of Baijian Manor, Aotian naturally wouldn't sit idly by.
Many people believe that Aotian raised this question in public in order to use the words of the Celestial Immortal to reveal the legend of the Hero Sword.
At the same time, this is also the answer that countless heroes of the martial arts world have always wanted to know.
Seven hundred years ago, the great swordsman was renowned throughout the world, but before his death, he devoted all his efforts to forging two hero swords.
What the secret is, no one knows to this day.
Maybe we'll find out today.
Thinking of this, everyone's gaze toward Bai Yutai became even more fervent.
Su Chen naturally accepted any business that came his way, and immediately brought up the system, looking at Ao Tian.
A short while later, the system responded:
"The fortune telling for Aotian was successful."
"Congratulations, host, on obtaining the peerless divine weapon, the Xuanzhong Ruler."
Could it be that weapon?
Su Chen's heart stirred, and he couldn't wait to take out the [Mysterious Heavy Ruler] and take a look.
If it really is the treasure from his memory, no matter how powerful it is, its significance is extraordinary.
But now was not the time to investigate, so Su Chen suppressed his curiosity, unfolded his folding fan, and said loudly:
"As everyone knows, the Hero Sword was forged by the Great Swordsman, the founder of the Sword Sect."
"If we were to say that the god of swordsmanship in the martial arts world of the Han Dynasty in the last five hundred years is the first generation sword saint, Huangfu Jian."
"But if we look at a thousand years of history, even Huangfu Jian's reputation cannot compare to that of a Grand Swordsman."
"In the eyes of many Han swordsmen, the Grand Sword Master is not only the founder of the Sword Sect, but also the founder of the entire Han sword way, and has almost become a myth."
"In fact, the Grand Swordsman truly deserves such a title."
"He and Lu Dongxuan, the Lu Ancestor of Liyang, were from the same era, and his cultivation had long since reached the legendary Celestial Longevity Realm."
"It's not like Huangfu Jian who briefly gained the power of longevity, but a true Celestial Longevity Realm, and he even reached the perfect state."
"As I said before, the Celestial Longevity Realm is very magical. It can sense the Haotian Divine Kingdom in the Celestial Realm and even feel the existence of Haotian."
"But the wonders of the Celestial Longevity Realm don't stop there."
"Upon reaching this level of cultivation, even without practicing any esoteric arts, one can sense the mysteries of the heavens."
"Especially those at the level of a Grand Swordsman, who can even see through the past and the future at a glance."
"When the Great Swordsman founded the Sword Sect, he wanted to know how far the Sword Sect would develop in the future, so he used this supernatural power to see the scene eight hundred years later."
"However, what he saw was an earth-shattering catastrophe."
"Under this calamity, the land of China fell, all things withered, and everywhere was filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Black flames of calamity burned the earth, and even the immortals of the land could not escape it."
"This is not a temporary disaster, nor is it a disaster in a certain place. Rather, it is a great calamity that covers the entire land of China and lasts for thousands of years. It is a catastrophe that the human race has never encountered before."
"The great swordsman deeply felt the horror of this disaster, but could not find a solution."
"Even though the experts at the Celestial Longevity Realm possess extraordinary abilities, they are helpless in the face of this unprecedented calamity."
"With no other choice, the great swordsman could only place his hopes on future generations, dividing his powerful fortune in two and merging it into two hero swords."
"That's why no one has been able to shake the Hero's Sword for the past seven hundred years."
"They were born to combat this great calamity of a thousand years, and are destined to appear only seven hundred years from now."
"Besides containing powerful sword energy, the Hero Sword also hides a set of astonishing sword techniques called the Mysterious Sword Technique."
"Everyone believes that the Sword Sect's ultimate technique, 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin,' can only be practiced by the sect leader."
“That’s not the case.”
"The true secret technique of the Sword Sect is not in the Sword Sect, but is hidden in the Hero Sword, the Mysterious Sword Technique."
"This set of 'Mysterious Sword Techniques' is the sword philosophy of a great swordsman's life, and it can also be said to be the general outline of all sword techniques in the world, pointing directly to the essence of swordsmanship."
"Once I master the Mysterious Sword Technique, I can use any sword technique in the world."
"When fighting an enemy, no matter how exquisite the opponent's moves are, you can completely master them in one or two moves, find their weaknesses, and even take them to a higher level."
"For example, when Wuming fought Dugu Jiansheng, he saw through the essence of the Holy Spirit Sword Technique after only a few rounds and deduced the even more powerful sword technique, the Supreme Sword Path, based on it."
This sword technique combines the essence of the Holy Spirit Sword Technique, reaching the highest realm of controlling the sword with the mind. It includes various wondrous transformations such as the Way of the Formless, the Way of the Ruthless, the Way of the Nameless, and the Way of the Selfless, making it even more profound than the Holy Spirit Sword Technique.
This is the power of the "Mysterious Sword Technique": it can not only immediately imitate the opponent's moves, but also deduce them to a higher level, making the user invincible forever.
Wuming and Mu Yingxiong both possessed exceptional swordsmanship talent, and at the age of nineteen, they respectively comprehended the realms of "Heavenly Sword" and "Absolute Sword," largely thanks to the assistance of this sword technique.
Their most prized sword techniques, such as the nameless "Mysterious Sword Technique" and Mu Yingxiong's "Heaven-less Absolute Sword," were actually evolved from the great swordsman's "Mysterious Sword Manual."
This was also the great swordsman's good intention; he chose his successors in the hope that they could grow up quickly to cope with the impending great calamity of a thousand years.
However, the Greatsword Master only selected one hero, and can only have one Hero Sword.
Therefore, Mu Yingxiong and Wuming, the two who obtained the Hero's Sword, are destined to have a life-or-death struggle in the future.
The defeated, their hero's sword broken.
Chapter 69 Legend
The victor is the true successor of the Hero Sword, inheriting all the sword-wielding fortune of the Great Swordsman, and their strength will instantly soar.
This is the hidden secret of the Hero's Sword.
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, the hall immediately erupted in excitement.
Everyone stared in astonishment, never expecting that the Hero's Sword would conceal such a terrifying secret.
The great swordsman from seven hundred years ago had already reached the perfect realm of the Celestial Longevity Realm.
Those at this level can not only sense the Haotian Divine Kingdom and Haotian, but also see through the past and the future.
But that's not the scariest thing.
What truly chilled everyone to the bone was that the Great Swordsman, with this supernatural power, actually foresaw the great calamity that would occur eight hundred years later.
Under this great calamity, the land of China will be destroyed, all things will wither, and even the immortals on earth will die. Just thinking about it is terrifying.
Now that seven hundred years have passed, this means that this catastrophe will come within the next hundred years.
But until now, no one knows anything about it!
The great calamity that was foreseen seven hundred years ago is about to come, but the world is completely unprepared.
At that moment, everyone realized how ignorant they had been.
At the same time, the true secret of the Hero Sword is also revealed.
As it turns out, the heroic sword that the martial arts world of the Han Dynasty has always championed has not only not been mythologized, but has actually been greatly underestimated.
It is not an ordinary divine artifact, but a calamity-suppressing object specially crafted by a great swordsman to cope with a great calamity that will last for a thousand years.
Whoever obtains the Hero's Sword will receive the highest inheritance of the Great Swordsman and his supreme swordsmanship fortune.
The astonishing growth rates of Wuming and Mu Yingxiong demonstrate that the benefits of the Hero Sword far exceed what ordinary people imagine.
Even disregarding the swordsmanship and fortune of a great swordsman, the "Mysterious Sword Manual" alone is enough to make someone an invincible swordsman.
For a moment, there was a lot of discussion in the hall:
"As expected, the Great Swordsman, as the number one swordsman in the Han Dynasty for a thousand years, has already reached the Great Longevity Realm of the Celestial Beings."
“Huangfu Jiandu has reached the Great Longevity Realm of Celestial Beings. It’s not surprising that a Great Swordsman can reach this level, but what shocks me more is the Great Calamity of a Thousand Years.”
"This Celestial Longevity Realm is truly the pinnacle of martial arts in the human world. It can actually see through the past and the future. It's amazing."
"If a great swordsman can foresee the future eight hundred years from now, does that mean that this great calamity is less than a hundred years away?"
"I'm not old yet, will I witness this terrible calamity that has never occurred in human history?"
"What a terrifying calamity that has occurred over a thousand years! Even a powerful expert like a Great Swordsman at the peak of the Celestial Longevity Realm couldn't resolve it. Who else could possibly stop it?"
"This is an unprecedented calamity in human history. Even terrestrial immortals couldn't withstand it. Let's not worry about it and just lie down."
"The Great Swordsman's 'Mysterious Sword Technique' is too overpowered! Not only can it copy other people's sword techniques, but it can also deduce even stronger moves. How can anyone fight against that?"
"In other words, during the battle between Dugu Jian and Wuming, not only did Wuming learn the Holy Spirit Sword Technique, but he also created an even more powerful ultimate skill based on it?"
"No wonder Mu Yingxiong and Wuming's cultivation speed is so fast. Dugu Jian only obtained half of Huangfu Jian's luck, but they obtained the complete inheritance of a great sword master."
"It seems that Li Chungang, the sword god of Liyang, is still more powerful. He broke through to the terrestrial celestial realm entirely on his own."
That's right. If Li Chungang were still at his peak, his strength would probably be no less than that of Mu Yingxiong and Wuming.
Terrifying! Even masters like Mu Yingxiong and Wuming can only rank fourth and fifth on the Sword Immortal Ranking. How powerful must the top three Sword Immortals be?
Beside the railing on the fourteenth floor.
After listening to these comments, Ao Tian was speechless.
His original intention was to use the reputation of the Celestial Immortal to completely denigrate the Hero Sword. In this way, the famous sword of the Sword Worship Manor could rightfully become the strongest divine weapon in the martial arts world of the Han Dynasty.
But what he didn't expect was that the origin of the Hero Sword was so profound.
