"Little Mule, now that I have a Dao Body, I won't need to reside in your Spiritual Ocean anymore."
"I plan to walk the world with this body, travel across the Ten Thousand Realms, and beco soone like the Lord of the Divine Fla!"
"Hmm... you should give a na. Make sure it sounds nice."
Luo Xiu looked at the sowhat proud little loli in front of him, and for a mont his heart nearly lted with affection. But she's still not as cute as Lin Shanshan was in her childhood. Compared to Dou Dou and Yaya, though, she's more than a match for them.
Luo Xiu pondered, "Shanshan, Dou Dou, Yaya... how about we call you Huo Huo from now on?"
At those words, the Indestructible Divine Fla angrily stomped her smooth, white little foot. "No way, no way! That sounds awful! It doesn't match my domineering presence! I want sothing more imposing!"
Luo Xiu thought for a mont, then said, "Then let's just call you Immortal. Is that imposing enough?"
"Hmm..." Biting her tender white little finger, the Indestructible Divine Fla thought carefully for a long while before saying, "That doesn't seem too bad. Let's go with that."
From then on, she was known as "Immortal."
The future Emperor Immortal!
At that very mont, the Mysterious Central Sword was still rampaging through the crowd. It was like a fierce beast that had been starved for centuries, frantically drinking blood and devouring souls.
Master Ping frowned as he looked upon that earthly Hell and said in a serious tone, "If this sword isn't suppressed by you, it will undoubtedly beco a demon that brings chaos to the world. Besides, its current spiritual intelligence is at most that of a three-or four-year-old child—just like Master Ping was when he was little. It has no concept of right or wrong, only instinct."
Immortal retorted, "You fatso, I bet you were no better when you were little."
Master Ping shot her a glare but dared not voice his anger. As a "vessel," what he feared most was undoubtedly the Indestructible Divine Fla.
Master Ping said to Luo Xiu, "If you don't discipline it properly, it will turn against its master once its intelligence matures and it experiences more of the world."
Luo Xiu nodded lightly. "Actually, I've been thinking about this as well. Without the Indestructible Divine Fla, it would indeed be difficult for to suppress this sword."
Immortal brandished her tiny fists. "Don't worry, Little Mule. With looking out for you, it won't be able to stir up any trouble. I'll protect you for Mom."
Luo Xiu knew the "Mom" she referred to was Ai Hongye.
Then, Master Ping said, "Now that the Indestructible Divine Fla has left your Spiritual Ocean and can't stay by your side all the ti, you'll need to find it a proper sword sheath."
Luo Xiu replied, "It's said that the Mysterious Central Realm itself is its sheath."
Master Ping cursed, "Damn it, with a world as its sword sheath, this sword has so serious class, huh?"
Luo Xiu patted him on the shoulder and chuckled. "Don't worry, Master Ping. I've played Dream and Asura before. In the end, it's just a sword. Can it really do anything to ?"
During their conversation, Luo Xiu's Divine Sense located the figure of Huo Hangku. At that mont, Huo Hangku sat slumped on the ground, watching the hellish scene on the field, broken and in utter despair. Luo Xiu suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Does this hellish scene look familiar?"
In truth, Luo Xiu had learned about so of the deeds committed by the Swordfire Divine Sect. To monopolize the cultivation resources of the Swordfire State, they had annihilated dozens of sects and clans, large and small. The n were slaughtered and the won were kept for endless abuse. Back then, Huo Hangku was just like Luo Xiu was now: high and mighty, looking down on everyone. The life and death of others were decided by his single word as he indifferently admired his own personal Hell...
Hearing this, Huo Hangku snapped back to reality. He lifted his head to look at Luo Xiu with a complex expression, but the words caught in his throat. Having already resigned himself to despair, he was surprisingly calm at this mont and showed no trace of fear.
Luo Xiu said, "Take to your sect's storehouse."
「Two days later.」
Luo Xiu's group finally left the Swordfire Divine Sect. The sect's resources were so incredibly abundant that it took Luo Xiu, Master Ping, Xia Chan, and Immortal working day and night to collect everything. Though it was tiring and boring, Luo Xiu felt it was well worth it. The resources from the Swordfire Divine Sect alone were enough to sustain Yan Huang Star and would also make Lin Shanshan's role as Empress much more comfortable.
「Outside the sect.」
Luo Xiu had barely stepped out when he saw that the spacious, luxurious street was packed shoulder to shoulder with a sea of people. So tossed flowers and scattered petals, while others lit firecrackers. It was even livelier than the Swordfire State's triennial "Dance of Fire Festival."
As Luo Xiu approached, many in the crowd suddenly knelt, weeping as they expressed their gratitude. These were the ordinary citizens who had been oppressed by the heavy taxes imposed by the Swordfire Divine Sect, the descendants of sects and clans who had been obliterated in the dark corners of history, and the Loose Cultivators who had suffered constant bullying.
"Thank you, benefactor, for eradicating the treacherous sect and bringing peace back to our Swordfire State!"
"My two daughters were ruined by those beasts!"
"This gang of villains has finally gotten what they deserve! A good kill, benefactor, a truly good kill!"
"Hahahaha... Dad, Mom, you can finally rest in peace!"
"Wife, did you see? Those villains are dead! They're dead! They got what was coming to them!"
"May I ask your na, benefactor?" an elderly man with white hair asked as he approached Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiu looked at the old man, amused and surprised. How did this guy follow here? Wasn't he supposed to go directly to Yan Huang Star? He instantly understood the old man's gaze, slowly flew into the sky, and unleashed a god-like might that shrouded the heavens and the earth. At that mont, he was like a Heavenly God descending upon the mortal world.
Suddenly, his figure flickered and vanished, transforming into a bolt of lightning. Above Tianjian City, only sky-rending thunder remained. At the sa ti, an ethereal voice echoed between heaven and earth.
"I am... Emperor Shura!"
