After asking about the Emperor Road, Chu Kuangren inquired further about the Divine Erald Lamp.
Wu Clan Leader did not try to be secretive about it either as he started to explain to Chu Kuangren about the chronicles of the Divine Erald Lamp.
“It has been common knowledge since long ago that the Divine Erald Lamp is in the Wu Clan’s possession, so I don’t think it’s really a secret. However, the truth is that this Emperor Weapon is currently in an incomplete state. It can only be used with the Wu clan’s secret technique of using a cultivator’s blood essence to fuel it. Hence, the other clans were not too concerned about this Emperor Weapon. It’s just that, for so reason, they have recently decided to turn their attention to this Divine Erald Lamp. They even went as far as bribing our Wu Clan Senior Elder.”
Wu Clan Leader appeared a little perplexed as well when he ca to this part of the story.
Chu Kuangren, on the other hand, looked deep in thought.
An incomplete Emperor Weapon, one that required one’s own blood essence or even life as the cost to activate it. No wonder those people were not interested in it at first.
If it was a completed Emperor Weapon, that would be a whole different story.
“What if they are able to make the Divine Erald Lamp whole again?” A bright spark flashed past Chu Kuangren’s mind.
This could explain why the Zhang clan, the Qian clan, and the other clans had a sudden interest in the Divine Erald Lamp.
There could even be a mastermind pulling the strings behind all of them.
“Right. There’s also another rumor about this Divine Erald Lamp. Legend has it that this divine lamp is connected to Sword Emperor Qingxuan from a few centuries ago.”
Wu Clan Leader suddenly rembered a fable that had been passed down in the clan for generations.
“Oh, a connection to a Sword Emperor,” Chu Kuangren replied, with his interest now piqued.
“Exactly. The Divine Erald Lamp’s owner, Emperor Qingli was Sword Emperor Qingxuan’s Daoist companion. But after Sword Emperor Qinxuan went into closed-door ditation in the Emperor Road, there was no news of him. Rumor has it that he died in his closed-door ditation. It’s said that only Emperor Qingli knows the thod of looking for him and that this thod involves the Divine Erald Lamp.
“Nevertheless, these were re folklore during the ancient tis. Nobody has any solid evidence to prove either of that.” Wu Clan Leader shook his head and smiled.
“Whether it’s true or not, we’ll find out after we make the Divine Erald Lamp whole again.”
Chu Kuangren initially planned to return this Emperor Weapon to the Wu clan, but now, he scrapped that idea.
An incomplete Emperor Weapon was of no use for him, but he could not say the sa when it was complete again. Moreover, it involved the existence of a Sword Emperor.
The next day.
After a long night’s study, Chu Kuangren was almost done organizing all the information he had gotten about the Emperor Road.
The key information among all that was the Emperor Mountain at the end of the Emperor Road!
That was where the Emperor’s Throne resided.
Ever since the Emperor Road was closed off, Emperor Mountain had not produced an Emperor’s Throne for over a hundred and fifty thousand years.
Recently, an incredibly powerful Emperor’s Aura had surged out from Emperor Mountain. The whole mountain was enveloped by an unknown force, and nobody was allowed to go near it.
Such a strange phenonon was usually a sign that Emperor Mountain was about to produce an Emperor’s Throne.
This had made all the living beings on Emperor Road go crazy as they all prepared to fight for the Emperor’s Throne.
“The Emperor’s Throne on Emperor Mountain is a symbol of Emperorhood. This concerns not just the sky-prides from Nine Heavens and the Underworld, but also the native sky-prides of Emperor Road and all those others who hail from the archaic or past ancient orthodoxies. Hah, this Race to Emperorhood is already at its crucial mont. It’s getting increasingly more exciting now.”
Chu Kuangren gripped the Descendant Self Sword in one hand and continued, “I hope that my next few opponents will be sowhat interesting. Otherwise, walking all the way to the end of this Emperor Road by myself will be too lonely and boring.”
The Descendant Self Sword gently vibrated, as if it understood its owner’s sentints.
In that instant, all cultivators of the Wu clan felt themselves shudder, after which they checked their surroundings with curious glances.
“Wu Clan Leader, show yourself!”
Just then, a loud shriek echoed above the Wu clan.
Following that, a chilly Sword-based Daoist Rhy swept across the room with great speed, covering the entire Wu clan.
That was a Sage Ruler Poise!
One of the most elite Sage Rulers at that!
Chu Kuangren, who was still inside his room, looked outside the window. “Oh, that was fast.”
He was not surprised at all. The fact that several major clans were fighting for the Divine Erald Lamp surely ant there was so elaborate scheming going on and a mastermind behind all of this. Since the major clans failed, that mastermind would surely send more people to get it if he or she was unwilling to give up.
Above the Wu clan, besides Zhang Clan Leader, Qian Clan Leader, and a few other Sage Rulers from yesterday, there were also several extrely imposing swordsn.
One thing worth noting was that each one of these swordsn wore different colored clothing.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple.
Wu Clan Leader and the rest of them looked flabbergasted when they saw these few swordsn.
“It’s them!! Why are they here?!”
“No! Why would we be targeted by these guys?”
Looks of despair were seen on each Wu clan mber’s face.
These few swordsn in front of them now were not exactly the most elite swordsn of Emperor Road, but their presence represented the involvent of one of Emperor Road’s most feared forces!
“The Sword Tribe! What did we do to get the Sword Tribe on our trails?!”
One of the elders was shocked.
Neither one of them could answer him as they were all similarly dumbfounded.
Wu Clan Leader took a deep breath. He had long guessed that there was a mastermind instructing the Zhang clan and the other clans to do this. However, he did not expect it to be the Sword Tribe!
“The Seven-colored Swordsn. These are the highest-end swordsn that a Sword Tribe mber could get as their bodyguards. Within the Sword Tribe, only the Sword Tribe Daoist is eligible to receive such a high-end treatnt. I have never expected the person who is targeting us to be not just any Sword Tribe mber, but one of the top-ranked ones — that notorious outlawed sky-pride, Sword Daoist!”
Wu Clan Leader proclaid before he suppressed the fear in him and slowly walked out.
He had to face this no matter what.
“Greetings, fellow esteed mbers of the Sword Tribe. I’m the Wu Clan Leader. Is there anything that I can help you with?”
“Hand out the Divine Erald Lamp, or we’ll obliterate the Wu clan!”
That swordsman in red robes threatened him. When the word ‘obliterate’ was spoken, a brutal Sword-based Daoist Rhy gushed out. It felt as though it had transford into fine, invisible sword qis that swept across the entire Wu clan. This Daoist Rhy made the Wu clan cultivators’ scalps tingle, whereas the weaker ones trembled so much that they knelt on the floor.
“Divine Erald Lamp…”
“As I have thought. It wasn’t the Zhang clan or the Qian clan who wanted the Divine Erald Lamp. It was the Sword Tribe.”
“The only question is, why are they looking for this divine lamp? Is it because of that unproven rumor about Sword Emperor Qingxuan?”
Wu Clan Leader kept thinking, but he was helpless at that.
If he knew from the beginning that his opponent was soone as powerful as the Sword Tribe, he would have given up the Divine Erald Lamp long ago.
The Sword Tribe must have felt it was unnecessary to deal with the Wu clan themselves, so they sent the Zhang clan and the Qian clan to do their biddings. However, they did not expect that soone like Chu Kuangren would be here, so they had no choice but to send the Seven-colored Swordsn. However, the Divine Erald Lamp was not in the Wu Clan Leader’s hands either.
“Why? Do you plan to rebel against us?”
The Red Swordsman looked at Wu Clan Leader with hostility when he saw that he was silent.
“Master Swordsman, that Divine Erald Lamp is currently not with us,” Wu Clan Leader explained.
“Then, where is it?”
“It’s with .”
Before Wu Clan Leader could give an answer, a white-robed figure slowly walked out from the shadows.
It was a man donned in a peerless white robe, with an exquisite ancient sword strapped to his waist. He took leisurely steps amongst that piercing Sword-based Daoist Rhy from the Red Swordsman, not affected by it at all.
The Red Swordsman’s pupils narrowed at the sight of Chu Kuangren. His sixth sense told him that this Chu Kuangren guy in front of him was an undisputed elite!!
