Nine Regions Sword Emperor

The power of the original way.

The power of a martial artist who cultivates the true source of power.

They are completely different.

Therefore, even though Emperor Taiyuan was somewhat unsure of Chu Fengmian's identity, the power of the Origin Dao that he sensed from Chu Fengmian was genuine.

Moreover, it was precisely with the power of that Origin Dao that Chu Fengmian was able to unleash the Heaven-Opening Sword and defeat the Green Serpent Prince with a single strike.

"The power that Juejian unleashed was indeed the power of the primordial path. It is true that the martial arts he cultivates are the primordial path."

Master Taiyuan spoke calmly once again.

"But he did not have the imperial seal on him."

"Imperial Seal?"

Upon hearing Taiyuan Daoist's words, Emperor Taiyuan was first taken aback, and then his expression changed drastically.

"How is that possible? No Emperor's Seal? Could it be that Juejian is just a transcendent being at the King-level? But how could a transcendent being at the King-level be so strong?"

"Moreover, his fundamental Dao should have already reached its peak, so how come he doesn't have the Emperor's Seal?"

Emperor Taiyuan spoke in disbelief.

Imperial Seal.

In fact, it was the source of power of a great emperor, the mark left by the mastery of martial arts.

Those who cultivate the Way of True Origin to its highest level and refine and upgrade all their own power are called King-level Transcendents.

Like the Green Snake Prince who fought Chu Fengmian before.

Even though his strength was extremely powerful, comparable to that of a great emperor.

However, because the martial arts created by the Green Snake Prince have not yet been truly completed, he is unable to condense the Emperor Seal and is still only a transcendent being at the level of a King or Marquis.

Once the Imperial Seal is formed, the martial artist's strength will also be greatly enhanced.

This is why the Green Serpent Prince holds such a high position in this Other Shore Era. He is even treated as an honored guest by various forces, and his status is even above that of many Great Emperors.

Even now, before he has even condensed the Emperor Seal, the Green Snake Prince already possesses strength comparable to that of a Great Emperor. Once he truly completes his martial arts and condenses the Emperor Seal, his strength will advance by leaps and bounds to a new level.

Once the Green Snake Prince condenses the Emperor Seal and enters the Great Emperor realm, his strength will surpass that of most Great Emperors. This is why the Green Snake Prince's status is so high.

For example, Emperor Taiyuan's current strength is at most on par with that of Young Master Qing She. Once Young Master Qing She condenses the Emperor Seal and enters the Emperor realm, defeating him will only take a few moves.

Now, Taiyuan Daoist is actually saying that Chu Fengmian does not have the Emperor's Seal.

Emperor Taiyuan was so shocked that he was speechless. Without the imperial seal, didn't that mean that Chu Fengmian was just like the Green Snake Prince, merely a transcendent being at the level of a king or marquis?
Because of the strength Chu Fengmian displayed, Emperor Taiyuan had no doubt about Chu Fengmian's identity.

Now, upon hearing Taiyuan Daoist's words, Emperor Taiyuan suddenly realized why Chu Fengmian wasn't the Origin Emperor: because Chu Fengmian hadn't even condensed his Emperor Seal yet. "The Origin Dao that Juejian displayed was indeed enough to condense an Emperor Seal, but the most likely reason he hasn't condensed it is that he has mastered more than one Origin Dao."

Master Taiyuan spoke calmly.

Taiyuan Daoist, as the creator of the Taiyuan Ancient Kingdom and one of the first ascended martial artists, is practically a living fossil in this Other Shore Era, possessing vast knowledge and experience.

Therefore, in an instant, he guessed some secrets about Chu Fengmian's identity.

"Mastered more than one fundamental path? How is that possible?"

Upon hearing what the Taoist Taiyuan said, the Great Emperor Taiyuan was shocked.

Although Emperor Taiyuan had never practiced the Way of Origin himself, he had heard about the difficulty of cultivating it from many ancient books and from the mouths of many people.

Cultivating the Path of Origin is an extremely difficult, even nearly impossible, path of martial arts, yet Chu Fengmian has mastered more than one Path of Origin.
If these words had not come from Daoist Taiyuan, Emperor Taiyuan would never have believed them. However, as one of the first ascended warriors to enter the Other Shore Era, Emperor Taiyuan would never doubt Daoist Taiyuan's words.

"If this Absolute Sword is truly not yet a Great Emperor, then once he condenses the Emperor Seal and steps into the Great Emperor realm, how powerful will he be?"

Even Emperor Taiyuan couldn't help but speak up.

The power of Chu Fengmian's Heaven-Opening Sword was such that even ordinary emperors could not withstand it.

Even Emperor Taiyuan wasn't confident he could block that sword strike. A single sword strike could defeat an emperor. In Emperor Taiyuan's eyes, even if Chu Fengmian wasn't a supreme expert, he was already close to it.

But now it has been discovered that Chu Fengmian has not even condensed the Emperor Seal yet, and is not a Great Emperor. So how terrifying would his strength be once Chu Fengmian condenses the Emperor Seal?
It's likely that once he condenses the Emperor's Seal, becoming a supreme powerhouse will be a foregone conclusion. Such a person is unheard of and unseen even in the history of the Other Shore Era.

"Who exactly is this Juejian? It's impossible for such a powerful figure to appear in this world. Moreover, his martial arts don't belong to any martial arts style in this world. In addition, he looks old and decrepit. Could he also be an ascended martial artist?"

Emperor Taiyuan turned his gaze to Daoist Taiyuan and asked him a question.

Not only is Chu Fengmian incredibly strong, but his identity is also shrouded in mystery, unknown to anyone.

Originally, Emperor Taiyuan also wanted to observe the battle between Chu Fengmian and the Green Snake Prince to see which faction Chu Fengmian's martial arts belonged to, so as to deduce Chu Fengmian's identity.

However, the swordsmanship that Chu Fengmian displayed was completely different from the swordsmanship that circulated in the Other Shore Era. The strongest swordsman in the Other Shore Era was Yan Di Suitian.

Although Chu Fengmian's swordsmanship was extremely powerful, almost on par with Suitian's, the two swordsmanships were completely different and belonged to martial artists from neither faction.

Therefore, Emperor Taiyuan had only one guess: Chu Fengmian was very likely an ascended martial artist, which could explain why Chu Fengmian was so powerful.

"Ascension Warrior..."

Upon hearing Emperor Taiyuan's words, Daoist Taiyuan frowned deeply.

"I have never seen this person before. When I arrived in the Other Shore Era, there were only about a hundred ascended warriors who entered the Other Shore Era, but I don't remember such a person?"

This is also the point that puzzles Taiyuan Daoren the most.

As one of the oldest ascended martial artists, if Chu Fengmian were indeed an ascended martial artist, he would have absolutely no recollection of him. (End of Chapter)
