Chapter 496: 0323 Heavenly Origin Cauldron Sword (4k)

After Zhang Ancestor’s breakthrough to the Fifth Realm.

The Land Immortals of the Dadu Dynasty, such as the pinnacle powerhouses like the Elder Carefree, successively entered the Fifth Realm.

Thus, a new Chapter in the history of humankind was unveiled.

The illusion within the Dao Yun had not ended.

After slaying the demon, the ragged Daoist returned the Cauldron Sword to its rightful owner.

The Cauldron Sword was reluctant, the Cauldron Sword did not leave.

"I said, it was just a loan, you do not belong to me, nor do you belong to this era."

The Cauldron Sword mourned, the Cauldron Sword wept.

The stain of rusted tears emerged, this Cauldron Sword was full of spirit.

After breaking the shackles with Zhang Ancestor and recreating a new heaven, the Cauldron Sword felt that only Zhang Ancestor was its destined other half!

Only Zhang Ancestor had the hope to recreate the Desolate Heaven and expel the stars!

The ragged Daoist sighed helplessly, smiling:

"The Way is long and arduous, Martial Arts are endless, but I am human, I have an end... Yet human heritage, generation after generation, is everlasting."

The Cauldron Sword didn’t care, the Cauldron Sword was unwilling.

"Farewell... fellow Daoist."

The ragged Daoist rode the wind and departed, seeking to conquer new difficulties.

The Fifth Realm was far from enough to confront the Netherworld.

The Cauldron Sword raged, the Cauldron Sword trembled.

When needed, flattering words and sweet talk.

Once used, discarded without a second thought, leaving with ease.

Humans, wicked!

Daoists, wicked!

The Cauldron Sword sealed its heart, the Cauldron Sword locked away love.

At the end of the dynasty, a message spread from Wudang Mountain to the Four Seas and Eight Desolates.

"Zhang Ancestor failed to enter the Six Realms... rode a crane to the west, at the age of six hundred and sixty-six."

The lifespan of a Great Grandmaster is roughly nine Jiazi, Zhang Ancestor lived eleven Jiazi.

But, it was not enough!

The Path-Breaking Grandmaster passed away, and within the temples and the Jianghu, whether Buddha Dao or the Three Religions and Nine Streams, all wept bitterly.

Only the petty men in secret were secretly pleased.

West Lake, as it was in the past.

In Hidden Sword Manor, the sounds of forging iron were endless.

Within the Sword Tomb, the Cauldron Sword had been lonely for hundreds of years.

During this period, many people tried to pull out the Cauldron Sword.

The Cauldron Sword scoffed, the Cauldron Sword raged.

Pull me? You dream!

And that whimsical old man, still shouting "sword come"?!

Go back where you came from!

With Zhang Ancestor’s brilliance ahead, the Cauldron Sword looked down on others.

Unless you are extraordinary, surpassing Zhang Ancestor, otherwise do not come to disgrace yourself.

The Cauldron Sword sulked, continuing its deep sleep.

One day, it heard from the disciples of the Sword Tomb about Zhang Ancestor’s entry into the Dao.

Crimson tears of rust, splattered and dotted, the sword soul raged greatly, then fell deeply sorrowful!

A Daoist, how could he fail?

In its sorrow, the Cauldron Sword recalled the past.

It came from the Great Wilderness, where there were cultivators, calling themselves "Qi Refiners."

Although their Way differed from the Martial Arts, there were some similarities.

Among the Qi Refiners, there was a sect called the [Heavenly Sword Sect].

This was the foremost sword cultivator sect in the Great Wilderness, the sect master named [Emperor Xuan], the pinnacle expert in the Ninth Step of cultivation.

Emperor Xuan, already at the peak of mortal power, without an inch of progress... could rival the divine!

Even an ordinary Desolate God would call him friend upon meeting him.

At its peak, under Emperor Xuan, there were four Ninth Step practitioners, known as the [Yu][Zhou][Hong][Huang] Four Extremes.

There were said to be three hundred Sword Immortals above the Heavenly Realm!

As for the Mountain and Sea Realm, it was needless to say.

Imagine, in the morning and evening, three hundred Sword Immortals swallowing the sun and moon, condensing Sword Qi, how shocking it would be?

When a Sword Immortal patrolled, it was like a meteor streaking across the sky, illuminating the Great Wilderness.

There was once a fearsome demon in the Great Wilderness named [The Fierce Infant], born with nine heads, crying like a baby, controlling the Daoist Rules of Water and Fire.

The Fierce Infant ravaged the Great Wilderness, harming mortals, eventually provoking the wrath of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Emperor Xuan, enraged, ordered the Four Extremes, leading three hundred Sword Immortals, to launch an eastern expedition on the Fierce Infant’s lair, flattening the Water and Fire Divine Mansion, exterminating its Three Souls and Seven Spirits, shattering its Water and Fire Daoist Rules.

From then, the Great Wilderness had one less god!

The Great Wilderness Divine Court held part of the gods in fury!

The divine are high above; even if they accidentally kill, consuming a few humans, you cultivators, cannot overstep divine authority and act on behalf of the heavens!

It must be known, from ancient times to today, only the divine may judge the divine!

Initially, some Desolate Gods had already harbored fears of these humans reaching the Ninth Step.

Although they believed humans could not reach the Tenth Step, the strong ones among the Ninth Step were enough to threaten the divine... like Emperor Xuan!

This extermination of the Fierce Infant by the Sword Immortals was proof.

Thus, some Desolate God factions used this as a pretext, launching a so-called "safeguard heavenly principles, extinguish human Dao" war.

Desolate Gods were Innate beings of the Great Wilderness, they were the rulers of heaven and earth, the heavens.

Humans, such fragile postnatal beings, could co-exist with us, it was already our divine grace, a show of mercy.

Emperor Xuan defied the norms, disregarding heavenly principles, deserving heavenly and earthly destruction!

Within the Divine Court, there were two factions.

One believed the Fierce Infant deserved death, its evil nature made it universally hated by both humans and gods.

Another believed, regardless of facts, Emperor Xuan’s actions violated ancient principles, intolerable.

Furthermore, those not of our kind must harbor different hearts.

Ultimately, the Divine Court decreed, Emperor Xuan was to commit suicide, others were exempt from penalties.

The Heavenly Sword Sect were all sword cultivators, seeing life and death lightly, fighting if they disagree.

While other Great Wilderness sects hesitated, watching from afar, the Heavenly Sword Sect betrayed the Divine Court.

Though powerful, compared to the colossal Great Wilderness Divine Court, this was naturally a moth to flame act.

Impatient Desolate Gods mobilized, besieging the Heavenly Sword Sect, igniting war.

At the critical moment, the Star Lord of Fate, [Chi Ji], intervened, blocking the Divine Court.

Chi Ji pointed to the sky: "If this continues, the Great Wilderness will perish, cease your actions."

Three days later.

The stars of the Great Wilderness dimmed, as if devoured by some great terror.

Stars from distant unknown lands descended.
