“You are Jiang Chen, aren’t you? Can you please co with ? I have a matter to discuss with you,” the Ancient Sword Sect’s Mistress said.
“Senior, you can just speak bluntly.”
Jiang Chen followed after her.
It was only when Jiang Chen disappeared from Yi Chen’s line of sight did she calm down, and when she looked toward Wen Xin, she found out that her close sister was now looking there in rupture.
She bore bursting out in laughter, extended out her hand, and waved it in front of Wen Xin’s eyes.
It was only then did Wen Xin ca back to her senses, and it seed like she noticed sothing, and her face beca flushed.
After the Ancient Sword Sect’s Mistress went into a secluded place, she turned over and wore a solemn look, and it seed like she was hesitating over sothing.
“Jiang Chen, please don’t bla for forcing you to do sothing you wouldn’t want, but can you please still inherit my Ancient Sword Sect,” the Ancient Sword Sect’s Mistress said.
She was really like she said forcing him, as even the sect mistress’s cultivation wasn’t as high as his, yet she wanted him to join it.
Jiang Chen believed that the Ancient Sword Sect’s Mistress was well aware of this matter, and he didn’t speak, and just waited for her continue on.
His reaction let the Ancient Sword Sect’s Mistress beca even more resolute about carrying what she planned.
“Although the Ancient Sword Sect is a small faction in the desolate land, but it still had a glorious past, and left a prestigious na in the Nine Territories and Ten Prefectures.
“However, it was a pity that the second past sect master had great ambition, and wanted to make a great achievent quickly. He brought with him all of the Ancient Sword Sect’s factions, and rushed our in full power, and wanted to look for a famous ruin, yet they ended up suffering grave casualties in the Desolate Forbidden Area.”
“At that ti, I was just a young girl, and witnessed with my own eyes how the Ancient Sword Sect declined gradually, and ended up stranded in the desolate land.”
The Ancient Sword Sect’s Mistress spoke slowly, “I don’t want you to assu responsibility for my Ancient Sword Sect’s rise, and I just hope that the sect could achieve a teoric rise along with you.”
Jiang Chen still didn’t reply, and revealed a pensive look.
“You will beco the next master of the Ancient Sword Sect, so I will hand over this ancient sword too to you.”
A sword appeared in the Ancient Sword Sect’s Mistress hands.
When he listened up to here, Jiang Chen beca aware that he must quickly open his mouth, and refused her before it was too late.
It wasn’t like he disliked the Ancient Sword Sect, but this matter went against his wishes.
He ca to the Three Middle Realms just for three matters. Finding a way for treating his father, becoming a Great Venerable, as well as going to the Spirit Zone to et his senior sister.
Those three matters could be in fact counted just a single one, or a single goal, and it was becoming a Great Venerable, as it was only then could he accomplish everything he wanted.
As for shouldering the Ancient Sword Sect’s fate burden, it would still be better to avoid it.
If the Ancient Sword Sect’s Mistress didn’t ntion the fact that she was truly forcing him to sothing he wouldn’t want, and still spoke in an apologetic tone, then he would have already rejected her early on.
“Senior...”
Jiang Chen already started speaking, but when he had a clear look of the ancient sword taken by her, he was startled, and he even found it unbelievable.
This sword wasn’t one of his swords of five hundred years ago.
Such sudden reunion let his heart thump crazily.
On a day five hundred years ago, he ca to the Three Middle Realms to have fun, and go sightseeing. He already forgot about the concrete date, but he still knew that it was in springti, and on a cloudless day.
He gifted his sword as a present to soone.
“Young master! You wasted great efforts to make this sword, and it was just slightly short from becoming a Doctrine Artifact, so how can you just gift it to a stranger?”
“Young master, please consider it carefully.”
He could still rember clearly the words of his followers, which grew up with him since childhood.
“This sword won’t display its worth in my hands, but in his hands, it would shine with splendid radiance.”
At that ti, Jiang Chen saw the delight on the face of the startled youth before him, which couldn’t believe what was happening, when he gifted the sword to him.
He really didn’t expect that the sword would co back to his hands after five hundred years in such a way.
“Can you please inform about the first sect master?” After Jiang Chen received the ancient sword, and determined that he wasn’t mistaken, he found himself quite touched and moved.
“The founder was during that ti one of the Three Middle Realms’ influential figures, and he almost managed to topple the eight great Spirit Zones with just his power alone, but it was a pity that he was slightly short of it.”
“He founded the Ancient Sword Sect afterward in the Nine Territories, and he depended just upon this ancient sword to deter anyone from daring to encroach on it.”
When the Ancient Sword Sect’s Mistress spoke up to here, she sighed, and said, “It’s a pity that the Ancient Sword Sect turned into its current state in my hands.”
“It seems like I didn’t misjudge him in the past,” Jiang Chen said inwardly, before he unsheathed the ancient sword.
The sword’s blade patterns, which he hamred on it by his own hands, seed quite familiar to him.
He used Extre Cold Iron found in the deepest part of mysterious ice, as well as the Heavenly God Descent Iron to make the sword’s blade, and it was only after it was tempered in a worldly alien fla for a hundred days did it turn into a complete sword.
Five hundred years already passed, yet the sword was still as sharp as before, and it could be seen from it how brilliant was his workmanship.
When Jiang Chen was making the sword in the past, he was challenging a difficult problem, and it was making a Doctrine Artifact.
“Father, all artifacts of Doctrine grade or above were passed from ancient tis, or an even more archaic ti. We inherited the ancestors’ knowledge and talent, so why can’t we make a Doctrine Artifact, Immortal Artifact, or even a Divine Artifact, and let our current era beca a legend for several hundred thousand years?”
He still rembered clearly his bold words at that ti.
“Hahaha, Chen’er, Chen’er, if you really managed to make a Doctrine Artifact, then you will throw the Sacred Zone’s power structure into disorder.”
At that ti, his father, the Over Cloud Palace’s master, didn’t believe it, but he still supported him.
“However, you can still set your mind at ease and work at it, and if you needed any materials, then you can just ntion it to , and they would be delivered to you in less than a day, and it didn’t matter even if you failed.”
“Father, be at ease, I won’t fail,” Jiang Chen struck his chest, and assured him.
However, it was a pity that he still failed in the end. Even though this was the fruit of all of his efforts and thorough preparations, it was still just a failed product in the end.
The problem didn’t lay in his technique, or in so other segnts, but just because he lacked sothing.
None of the divine, and sharp weapons were made by mortals, and the Doctrine Artifact’s na wasn’t just a re title, and the ‘Doctrine’ word in it had a great and broad aning.
If Jiang Chen wanted to make a Doctrine Artifact sword, then he must possess a powerful Sword Doctrine’s power, and he should imbue it into the sword through hamring it.
It was only through being refined by Sword Doctrine’s power would it sublimate, and beca a Doctrine Artifact.
It was only afterward did Jiang Chen learn that Doctrine Artifacts weren’t just re weapons, they were also a sort of unique inheritance.
It was impossible then for soone like him, who had exhausted pulse, to cross such a chasm. Moreover, soone as weak and powerless as him couldn’t even use a ten thousand pounds hamr to hamr it.
At that ti, besides dical techniques, he depended upon other people’s assistance in everything else like setting formation, making elixirs, and weapons.
Those people were his right and left arms, and they were also the two loyal people, which grew up with him since childhood.
“Jiang Chen?”
The Ancient Sword Sect’s Mistress’ voice suddenly rang near his ears.
The Ancient Sword Sect’s Mistress, who lived for a long ti, couldn’t believe that Jiang Chen’s current expression was genuine. It was impossible for soone, who didn’t live at the very least for several dozen years, to sigh with feeling like he had done.
“Senior, I ridiculed myself in front of you.”
The sword let him recall many of the past matters, and Jiang Chen didn’t detect that he was beside himself at such a mont.
He unsheathed the sword wholly. It was a long sword, which was one ter and third long, but its blade wasn’t wider than a half a finger.
It didn’t have any gorgeous patterns on it because this sword’s itself was already extraordinary enough, and people would be more willing to believe that this was a piece of art rather than a murder tool.
Even though it didn’t beco a Doctrine Artifact in the past, but it still caused a sensation in the Sacred Zone, and it was praised as the Magical Artifact closest to Doctrine Artifact.
It could be imagined well how great of a shock to the Sacred Zone’s people was the fact that he gifted it to soone for nothing in return.
“It’s still a ninth-grade Magical Artifact,” Jiang Chen thought inwardly.
The ancient sword’s grade didn’t beco lower along with the elapsing of ti, and it was still as sharp as in the past.
