Remould the Glory of Sword Art
Chapter 59 - 59 59 The Destroyer of the Marauders

59: Chapter 59: The Destroyer of the Marauders 59: Chapter 59: The Destroyer of the Marauders Ancient hermitages left behind by saints of bygone eras, remnants of sects that vanished a millennium ago, often concealed within the human realm due to resonances between array patterns and the energies of Heaven and Earth, isolated from the world.

Daoist sects that have preserved their legacy for over a thousand years refer to such sites as the “Heavenly Origin Secret Realm”.

Over time, all the major sects adopted this term.

For major sects and noble families, Secret Realms weren’t exactly “rare” entities; many major sects had more than one Secret Realm within their domain, such as the Da Sui Sword Palace where numerous disciples could cultivate within the blessed lands…

For Cultivators, reaching a certain level in their cultivation meant resonating with a particular Dao, which allowed them to alter the characteristics of a small part of the world.

Great Practitioners who reached this state had the qualifications to create their own “Secret Realms”!

In other words,

the so-called “Secret Realm” is just a small world refined by a Great Practitioner.

However, the power of the refiner varies.

So does the strength of the rules within this small world!

The annals of Da Chu record that two thousand years ago, there was a golden age at its pinnacle, where Primordial Energy was extraordinarily abundant, giving rise to countless geniuses.

This golden age lasted for a very long time and birthed many supreme powerhouses.

It may have been for this reason that the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi began to decline.

What reaches a peak must decline; what is pushed to the extreme must rebound.

Most of the “ancient saints” in the eyes of today’s Cultivators came from that bygone golden age.

Those who emerged from that era were powerful and possessed strong lineages.

The Secret Realms they created often concealed numerous treasures!

To obtain even one could possibly mean an ascent to the skies with a single bound!

“If the Bai Ze Grotto Heaven doesn’t contain the ‘Dao Pen’…

then what’s the deal with my ‘Chen Ke’?”

Xie Xuanyi stared at that cluster of shadows in the middle of the river, feeling increasingly that something was off.

Without the “Dao Pen” inside Bai Ze the Great’s Grotto Heaven, why would it attract so many treasures?

“Rumble, rumble, rumble!”

Suddenly, a roaring sound rose in the distance, and with the fog shattering, a massive iron boat emerged majestically from the mists!

Engraved on the bow of the boat was the sacred and dignified head of a qilin, lifelike in every detail.

The Primordial Power array patterns followed the lines of the mane, converging at the eyes, causing two intense, white beams to shoot forth from the boat, piercing the fog and landing on the small boat where Jiang Qihu drifted!

The rumbling and the bright lights brought Xie Xuanyi’s thoughts back to reality.

He squinted as he looked back and saw several figures in large robes standing aloft on the massive boat, silhouetted against the intense light, their features indistinct.

This great ship had come from the direction of the North Sea.

With such terrifying momentum, it was evidently You Hai King Chu Lin’s “vehicle,” the renowned Pohuai Hao.

It was said that this King of Qing State, fond of pleasure, spent more than half of his days overseas.

Thus, for the most part, the Pohuai Hao was anchored in the North Sea.

However, with the Bai Ze Secret Realm located by the Carp Tide River, the great boat could conveniently sail down the river mouth back to Qing State…

“A difficult character has arrived.”

Jiang Qihu said expressionlessly, “Don’t give us away later.”

Xie Xuanyi silently pulled his hat lower.

Chu Lin, this titular King, appeared to be alone and carefree, not interfering in politics or cultivating factions.

However, some things are not as they seem on the surface.

For the Chu Family to transform from a destitute noble house into one of Qing State’s two great families over thirty years, Chu Lin must have been working behind the scenes…

Xie Xuanyi was quite familiar with such matters.

The Jiangning Xie Family had a similar skill.

However, the Chu Family of Qing State had thinner roots and a shallower foundation.

The great ship from the North Sea gradually came to a stop, with the river tide surging against its iron hull, like waves crashing against a rocky shore.

The Pohuai Hao, like an unyielding rock, stood still in the heart of the river, immovable regardless of the tide’s battering.

“Gentlemen, you have worked hard these recent days.”

You Hai King climbed atop the high, rising head of the qilin at the ship’s bow.

Holding a wine glass in one hand, he lightly raised it through the air and, with a smile, said, “With the external array of the ‘Secret Realm’ gradually breaking down, strange phenomena may occur at any time…

If you fear missing out on opportunities, feel free to board the Pohuai Hao to rest; this King always welcomes you.”

His voice echoed over Carp Tide River.

Those strands of rainbow light suspended in the air exchanged glances.

Two women accompanied the You Hai King.

One was Chu Man from the night banquet.

The other was Ye Qinglian of Baihua Valley.

Upon seeing their King, the Cultivators of the Chu Family no longer hesitated, with streaks of rainbow light descending into the Pohuai Hao.

As for the Baihua Valley side, it was the same.

For them, there was nothing more important than entering the Secret Realm at the earliest opportunity to compete for fortune—the You Hai King’s great ship was right above the Bai Ze Secret Realm, and being able to cultivate in tranquility here was naturally the best choice!

“Qihu, brother—”

You Hai King cast his gaze onto the boat below: “Last night’s banquet ended too hastily with your abrupt departure, which was truly unsatisfying.

Why not board the ship and continue to drink to your heart’s content?”

Even though it was just a casual glance.

Yet Xie Xuanyi felt the hair on the back of his neck stand on end—

His cultivation of the Divine Soul was exceptionally sensitive, and that casual glance from You Hai King was as electrifying!

You Hai King was known for being a pleasure-seeker throughout the year, seldom having conflicts or struggles with anyone.

Back in the day, Xie Xuanyi had encountered him several times without detecting anything out of the ordinary…but now it seemed that this prince’s realm within the Divine Soul was quite profound!

“Continue drinking?

Is His Highness truly not afraid of neglecting important matters?”

The previous night’s drinking had left Jiang Qihu feeling a bit sick.

Helplessly, he said: “The Bai Ze Secret Realm has just shown signs of unusual activity; it might open at any moment.”

“That’s why I have anchored the ‘Conqueror’ right here.”

You Hai King smiled and said: “Brother Qihu, you must be exhausted from handling cases at the Imperial City all the time.

Life is to be enjoyed when one can, and even Fairy Ye has graced us with her presence, why keep up the pretense?

Why not bring your aides aboard, and let us drink merrily with this king?”

These words made it very hard to refuse.

Jiang Qihu felt a headache coming on.

“Since His Highness has spoken…”

Jiang Qihu sighed lightly and said: “Then Qihu shall respectfully comply.”

The small boat approached the Conqueror.

“That’s more like it.”

You Hai King beamed with a smile, walked away from the bow, and carelessly tossed his wine cup into the river.

“…”

Though he had accepted You Hai King’s invitation and boarded the ship to continue drinking, Jiang Qihu made it a priority to take out a Ruyi Order, issuing the Jiang Family’s first command upon arrival at Lichao City.

“No cultivator of the Jiang Family is allowed to board!”

The Chu Family and the disciples of Baihua Valley all headed towards the Conqueror.

But those young disciples of the Jiang Family, upon receiving the order, dispersed right away and once again descended towards the vast river outside.

“Heh.”

You Hai King moved through the crowd on the deck of the great ship.

He caught a glimpse of the Jiang Family cultivators dispersing outside and shook his head with a smile.

This time, the Carp Tide River Secret Realm presented a fortune that was rarely seen in a hundred years.

The order to seal off the Qing State was jointly issued by the Little National Master and You Hai King—

The three major powers sent people to Lichao City at the first notice!

It could be said that those currently aboard the Conqueror represented the absolute core strength of the Chu Family and Baihua Valley!

Chu Lin ascended to the second-floor pavilion of the Conqueror, pushed open the large window, surveyed the surroundings, and said in a deep voice: “Man, go and fetch all of my fine wine; I want to properly entertain all the heroes aboard!”
