Capítulo 5070: News Spread
Only when the last cultivator fell to the ground, eyes wide with terror, did the surrounding area finally grow quiet. No one spoke; all that could be heard was the sound of waves crashing.
The three seasoned veterans swiftly cleared the battlefield, collecting all the spoils before returning to their master.
The Azure Emperor cast a glance at the corpses on the ground and said to the three beside him, “Let’s go!” With that, he led them away.
Watching them vanish into streaks of light, the remaining cultivators finally relaxed their tightly clenched hearts. Cold sweat poured down their backs as a wave of dread washed over them.
The Azure Emperor… That was the Azure Emperor…
The Azure Emperor departed with his three disciples. From that day onward, rumors began to spread: celestial ons appeared, the ancient divine sword Dragon Abyss erged to recognize its master—the Azure Emperor’s second disciple, Yun Yuan…
A month later, another rumor spread: the ancient divine sword, the Crimson Sky Sword, had been obtained by the Azure Emperor’s eldest disciple, Yun Chen. Instantly, sects, noble families, and factions across the Upper Immortal Realm were thrown into an uproar.
No one could have imagined that the long-reclusive Azure Emperor, upon erging from Yunxiao Mountain, would first secure the Divine Whip for his youngest disciple as a protective weapon. Imdiately after, he procured the ancient divine swords Crimson Sky and Dragon Abyss for his eldest and second disciples respectively. Such grand gestures left all who heard them utterly astonished.
It was common knowledge that ancient divine swords were not easily obtained. Moreover, the whereabouts of these two swords had long been unknown. Yet, unexpectedly, the Azure Emperor knew precisely where they lay.
Amidst the collective astonishnt, many began discreetly investigating the backgrounds of the Azure Emperor’s three disciples. For it was widely understood that those chosen by such ancient divine blades were destined for extraordinary achievents. Thus, they sought to uncover the disciples’ origins early, hoping to cultivate ties with their families.
On the Immortal Island, Feng Jiu, erging from seclusion, also heard the news—first relayed by Tie Song and Mi’er. Though one spent most days forging weapons in the rear mountains and the other often stayed in the kitchen perfecting new dishes, both remained remarkably well-inford about the outside world.
Feng Jiu ate her al in the courtyard while listening to Mi’er’s chatter.
“Word’s spread far and wide now—the Azure Emperor’s top disciple and second disciple both received ancient divine swords. Uncle Tie told they’re truly the finest treasures imaginable.”
Feng Jiu finished her bowl of soup, set it down, and wiped her lips. “The Azure Emperor treats them exceptionally well, securing such rare swords for them.”
Seeing she was full, Mi’er approached to clear the table, asking, “Master, will you still be in seclusion?”
Feng Jiu smiled, rising to her feet. “No, I have matters to attend to. While I’m away, please take extra care of things here.”
“Understood,” Mi’er replied without inquiring further. After tidying up, she prepared to withdraw.
Over the past year, her cultivation had steadily advanced, and she sensed a breakthrough approaching. Once her master departed, she could likely enter seclusion to advance her cultivation.
Moreover, with the Master off the island, no one else would co here. Even if soone did, she could simply ask them to return later. This period was thus the perfect ti for her advancent.
“This dicinal pill is for you.” Feng Jiu handed over a pill. Seeing her staring at it in slight surprise, she smiled and added, “Aren’t you preparing for advancent? Taking this dicinal pill then will be beneficial for you.”
