Nine Realms Sword Emperor

The ancient sword sect, Upper Sword Sect, was the first sect to receive the Supreme Sword Energy.

At that time, the Mountain Protection Array of the Upper Sword Sect was composed of three thousand strands of Supreme Sword Qi, forming the Supreme Sword Formation. It's said that this formation is powerful enough to slay an Immortal Emperor.

Although Chu Fengmian wasn't sure if this legend was true, he had experienced the profoundness of Supreme Sword Energy himself and possessed eighteen hundred strands of it.

With each additional strand of Supreme Sword Qi, its power increased exponentially.

Even from such a distance, Chu Fengmian could sense the aura of Supreme Sword Energy from the depths of the palace, indicating that there were quite a few strands still present there.

However, Chu Fengmian wasn't worried. With his eighteen hundred strands of Supreme Sword Qi, he could suppress anyone even if they gained all the remaining twelve hundred strands.

"Let's go, the young master is waiting inside."

Protector Liu led him to a large door in the depths of the palace and then spoke.

Not far from this door was the deepest part of the palace, a void where nothing could be seen.

"Inside is the secluded cultivation area of our Hundred Absolute Star Domain Alliance's ancestors. Unless summoned by the ancestors, entry is forbidden and unauthorized intrusion is a capital offense."

Protector Liu glanced at Chu Fengmian, then reminded him as he looked into the void.

"Understood."

Chu Fengmian nodded.

His Spiritual Sense had already entered the depths of the void, where he sensed one powerful presence after another.

Chu Fengmian could clearly feel many formidable auras in the depths of the void, each not below his own strength, almost all possessing Heavenly Human Realm power.

Immortals, Immortal Scholars, Immortal Generals, and even those surpassing Immortal Generals, reaching the Xuantian Realm, were detectable by Chu Fengmian, though they were extremely rare, with only two discernible.

The total number of Heavenly Human Realm powerhouses was indeed over a hundred.

"So many?"

Chu Fengmian was somewhat shocked. The Hundred Absolute Star Domain Alliance, formed by third and fourth-grade star domains, should not have had many strong beings despite its numbers.

Yet unexpectedly, there were over a hundred Heavenly Human Realm experts.

Chu Fengmian quickly realized that the alliance comprised hundreds of star domains, each with few strong beings.

In some third-grade star domains, there might be one or two Heavenly Human Realm powerhouses.

Combining the star domains in the alliance, even if a few each possess a Heavenly Human Realm expert, it adds up to a staggering number.

"That Supreme Sword Qi is in the void, but which ancestor of the Hundred Absolute Star Domain Alliance controls it?"

Approaching the void, Chu Fengmian could clearly sense Supreme Sword Qi being controlled by one Heavenly Human Realm ancestor.

Exactly which ancestor it was, Chu Fengmian couldn't determine, nor did he dare brazenly probe the void, not wanting to stir up hundreds of Heavenly Human Realm powerhouses.

After briefly investigating, Chu Fengmian retracted his Spiritual Sense and followed Protector Liu into the palace.

Entering the palace, he immediately saw a towering throne upon which sat a young man, whose strength had reached the peak of the half-step Heavenly Human Realm. A confident nonchalance appeared on his face, as if he held everything in the world within his grasp.

The young man wore a noble Dragon Robe, clearly a person of extremely high status and noble identity.

"His strength is decent, but his realm is unstable, seemingly boosted by some treasure?"

Chu Fengmian's mind stirred as he observed, finding the young man's realm to be the peak of the half-step Heavenly Human Realm, but his strength only slightly stronger than an ordinary counterpart, not matching Protector Liu.

This realm was achieved due to a treasure, forcefully elevated, yet unstable, so his true strength didn't match his realm.

Someone like this deserved such respect from Protector Liu, being called young master; evidently, he was an heir of privilege.

"This is Young Master Xia, an elder of the Hundred Absolute Star Domain Alliance, whose father is a Heavenly Human Realm ancestor."

Protector Liu explained as they entered the chamber.

"Chu Fengmian, greet Young Master Xia."

"Greetings, Young Master Xia."

Chu Fengmian spoke.

"Oh? Protector Liu, is this the person you mentioned? Just a minor Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor, seeming unimpressive."

With a casual glance at Chu Fengmian, Young Master Xia spoke languidly.

"Chu Fengmian, you possess a large quantity of Divine Grade Spirit Stones?"

"As expected, it's about the Divine Grade Spirit Stones."

Young Master Xia was straightforward, and Chu Fengmian immediately realized why he was targeted.

Yet, he still sought to obtain those twelve hundred strands of Supreme Sword Qi, and now wasn't the time for a direct confrontation. Chu Fengmian calmly replied.

"I happened to acquire some by chance."

"Hand over those Divine Grade Spirit Stones. I'm refining elixir pills and need them. Since you have them, I won't bother seeking elsewhere."

Young Master Xia glanced at Chu Fengmian and directly demanded.

"This?"

Chu Fengmian was a bit stunned; he hadn't expected Young Master Xia to blatantly demand his Spirit Stones.

Normally, even if the alliance's strong beings targeted Chu Fengmian for his Divine Grade Spirit Stones, they'd employ methods to make him hand them over.

But Young Master Xia openly requested them without offering benefits.

Protector Liu, beside him, chuckled bitterly, aware of Young Master Xia's intention for the Spirit Stones but surprised at his brazen demand, akin to robbery.
