Many people say that the Heavenly Emperor is old.
Nine Tribulations Sword was in high spirits at this moment. She believed that she could definitely break the karmic bond that destined her as a celestial sword and obtain the position of Emperor!
She's very ambitious, even planning ahead for the future.
She used the nine spots reserved for her younger brothers to cultivate relationships with the cultivators who were waiting for the emergence of the Dao Child Ranking.
Although they were all top geniuses, they were only at the first level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm and couldn't help her much.
The Nine Tribulations Sword is more about leaving a good connection, hoping that this relationship can be used in the Upper Realm tens or hundreds of thousands of years later.
The intention is not in the present moment!
Therefore, Nine Tribulations Sword would be very disappointed every time it discovered internal strife and personnel losses.
Although this is somewhat unavoidable, who would believe that geniuses of the same generation wouldn't fight each other?
The two who died were cultivators she had high hopes for.
The Nine Tribulations Sword's heart is bleeding.
The enormous phantom turned its head and glared at us angrily: "I shouldn't have trusted a demonic cultivator!"
"Wu Xiangjun, how could you eat them both!"
Wu Xiangjun said, "Senior, that's not the case..."
"It was those eight who tried to ambush and kill me...and this fellow Daoist Qi!" (Lu|≡san□＊siˉ″④〃＾2%)
Immediately, the Martial Emperor subtly employed his linguistic skills, recounting to the Nine Tribulations Sword a modified version of what had just happened.
The Nine Tribulations Sword remained silent.
It wasn't until she heard that Lin Ye was also a successor of demonic arts that a hint of surprise appeared on her face, breaking the silence.
"Young friend, are you the second cultivator in history to achieve mastery of demonic arts?"
The Martial Emperor shook his head: "Senior, Fellow Daoist Lin has not yet reached the Tribulation Transcending stage. He is only at the Nascent Soul stage... just a child!"
The Nine Tribulations Sword blinked in surprise, and the two planets trembled violently.
"He actually managed to kill Gold!"
Wu Xiangjun said, "Not only is he a genius, but I am also the prophesied successor of the demonic arts, who will be separated from me by three generations, while he is not."
"If he successfully overcomes the tribulation, it will truly prove that the prophecy on the inheritor of demonic arts is not unbreakable!"
Nine Tribulations Sword's face showed a hint of joy, and he nodded to Lin Ye with satisfaction: "Take it!"
"Man, don't let me down."
Upon seeing the Nine Tribulations Sword from ten thousand years ago, and hearing it speak in a tone reminiscent of a domineering CEO, Lin Ye almost lost his composure.
So this is what she was like during this period; she was so full of vigor and spirit!
In matriarchal societies, are the personalities of powerful figures also reversed...?
Lin Ye's eyes flickered as he remembered that the Nine Tribulations Sword was not a cultivator from the matriarchal era at all. It was born 40,000 years ago, at the beginning of the end of the matriarchal era.
He's just a history enthusiast at heart.
Alright, so the domineering CEO aura was just a facade!
Unlike the Martial Emperor, who was a true powerhouse born in a matriarchal era.
It's no wonder that the Nine Tribulations Sword, belonging to a history enthusiast, was manipulated.
In fact, the appearance of Lin Ye was indeed a good omen in the eyes of the Nine Tribulations Sword.
This foreshadows her successful ascension to the throne!
This phenomenon put her in a good mood.
As for the loss of two people, let's just let it go.
The illusory image of the Nine Tribulations Sword, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, retrieved the conceptual sword body that originally belonged to gold, saying, "Young friend Lin, it originally belonged to gold, but now..."
At this moment, the Martial Emperor smiled and raised his hand, saying, "Senior, how about our agreement...?"
"Huh? What agreement?"
"As the senior once said, when the organization is full, the remaining blade should be replaced with the tip."
Nine Tribulations Sword was somewhat annoyed.
I won't give it to you, so you can't ask for it yourself!
Moreover, with two people lost, there weren't even nine people left.
The Martial Emperor used his pre-prepared explanation, which only made the Nine Tribulations Swordsman frown even more deeply.
After a long silence, she only let out a cold snort: "Since you say he's the ninth person..."
"Let him have this sword tip!"
"The task of helping young friend Lin achieve enlightenment is now entrusted to you. As for the sword tip... if you want it, you can ask him for it yourself."
"This!?" The Martial Emperor was as if struck by lightning.
Seeing her distress, the Nine Tribulations Sword chuckled.
Lin Ye thanked the Nine Tribulations Sword and silently watched the Martial Emperor's performance from the side.
'She saw right through the Nine Tribulations Sword's nature, and actually gave me the tip of the sword.'
As soon as the Nine Tribulations Sword was raised, the power of the Quasi-Emperor manifested, causing ripples to rise from the sea of boundaries, and the tip of the sword appeared from the sea of boundaries.
Its sharpness was extremely dazzling, as if it could even cut through the void.
The sword tip flashed and disappeared into Lin Ye's body.
As if struck by a sudden inspiration, Lin Ye felt a surge of ideas about swordsmanship welling up within him.
He clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, senior."
"You owe me a debt of karma."
Nine Tribulations Sword casually uttered a sentence, thinking to himself, "In this way, there are only two people left guarding the Boundary Sea, and we still need to awaken one more person."
"Let's draw one randomly from the three people in the next round, in that order."
"...Will I be able to get along well with the two inheritors of demonic arts?"
Within the Boundary Sea, sensing the call, a piece of Eternal Ice suddenly shattered, and a chilling wave of spiritual energy blew towards them, extremely sharp, even affecting the Boundary Sea's gale, causing it to become chaotic and unclear.
A flash of silver light appeared, and a tall, slender figure appeared before the phantom of the Nine Tribulations Sword, bowing to her.
"Azure Silver Sword Immortal, a sword cultivator," the Martial Emperor explained to Lin Ye.
The Martial Emperor transmitted his voice softly, "It seems he'll be our teammate for the next few hundred years... Sword cultivators aren't exactly a good option..."
"As expected of a fellow martial arts enthusiast, you've already decided to eat your teammate. Share half with me."
At this moment, the silver dagger that Lin Ye had stored in his storage ring seemed to sense something and suddenly began to tremble violently.
Lin Ye scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered that the silver dagger was shouting, "That aura...it's me! It's me!"
Lin Ye was surprised: "This is you, kid? You used to be pretty strong."
"That is!"
"I'll teach you swordsmanship, okay? Spare my life..."
Lin Ye's eyes flickered.
Since obtaining this silver dagger in the Tianbao World, Lin Ye has been thinking about refining it again because of its good materials.
Unexpectedly, it had some tricks up its sleeve during its lifetime.
They were actually able to enter the Gate of the Boundary Sea.
"How did you die?"
The silver knife said quietly, "Of course it's because of internal strife."
"However, although I was defeated, it was because I fought two against one! I used to be very strong!"
At this moment, the Azure Silver Sword Immortal had already heard the reason why he had been awakened ahead of time from the Nine Tribulations Sword, and he trembled all over.
Then, he looked at Lin Ye and Wu Xiangjun with surprise and doubt.
Two fully mastered demonic arts?
They just killed a master of spatial laws, a being who had been transformed from a celestial corpse...
To be their teammate? Me?
Sword cultivators are fragile...
Even at the level of top genius, Cangyin Sword Saint is already more physically robust than ordinary body cultivators, but he is still far less physically robust than monsters like those who have mastered the Martial Emperor's Treasure Mirror or those who have cultivated the Eternal Scripture.
Faced with two fully-developed demonic arts that even killed the immortal skeletons, they probably wouldn't leave any trace!
Thinking of this, the Azure Silver Sword Immortal trembled, and cried out to the Nine Tribulations Sword with grief, "Senior! You can't do this to me!"
"No, I don't want to be teammates with them... They definitely want to kill me!"
"What are you saying!" the Empress roared.
Lin Ye thought to herself, 'You used to be quite principled.'
'This is... an emergency evacuation...' The silver knife awkwardly tried to find a crack to crawl into.
......
"Nobody wants to be in a group with the two of you."
Nine Tribulations Sword sighed: "You two were born to live a life of two!"
"Okay, you two will team up with Xiao Tun! You can't possibly finish all that food, can you?"
"Still the same as before, just call her if you need anything."
The Empress understood: "I understand."
Lin Ye transmitted his voice, asking, "Who is Xiao Tun?"
'She is a humanoid Devouring Titan, and the other Devouring Titans all obey her.'
Lin Ye blinked: "Is she a princess among the Devouring Giants?"
"Hehe, who knows... Xiao Tun has communication skills, and she's also an unofficial member of our organization," Emperor Wu replied.
'She's lazy and sleeping right now. You'll see her later.'
After the Nine Tribulations Sword had assigned tasks, the enormous phantom gradually dissipated.
Xiao Tun, an unofficial member, is now officially a member, and with her, the organization has returned to eight people.
The group consisted of three people. When the Gate to the Boundary Sea was first built, Nine Tribulations Sword also had two companions.
'The trio...'
Nine Tribulations Sword suddenly felt a little melancholy, and some images floated into his mind.
'Zudan...will we ever make up...?'
......
"With infinite time and infinite space, we happen to be together here and now. This is an incredible destiny."
The Empress raised her cup, her gaze filled with a tenderness akin to that of someone looking at a priceless treasure: "Cheers~"
"cheers!"
Lin Ye smiled and clinked glasses with her, then drank the wine in his glass.
Yet, I inexplicably sensed a chilling sense of unease.
......
Star Alliance.
Lin Ye made contact with the Nine Tribulations Sword from ten thousand years in the future through the hyperdimensional plane.
Ask her about events from ten thousand years ago.
Nine Tribulations Sword reeked of alcohol. Hearing this, he became excited and talked more than usual: "It was too dangerous back then. The Heavenly Emperor was too treacherous... If it weren't for those two coming to save me, I wouldn't be alive today!"
