I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

Inside the main hall, you could hear a pin drop.

A moment later, an inner sect elder suddenly stood up and shouted angrily, "The Great Xia Divine Dynasty? What is that! I've been in the Heavenly Realm for tens of thousands of years and I've never even heard of that name! How dare some nobody attack my Taicang Holy Land?"

"That's not all." The intelligence elder's face was extremely grim. "Even the Beast Taming Sect Master Wan Tianxiong, along with the Beast Taming Sect Ancestor and the sect's treasure, the Demon Suppressing Tower, were all lost in the hands of that Great Xia Divine Dynasty."

"What?!"

The entire hall erupted in uproar.

Although the Beast Taming Sect cannot compare to their Taicang Holy Land, it is still a renowned first-class sect in the Heavenly Realm.

Wan Tianxiong is a powerful expert at the fifth level of the Heavenly Venerable Realm. He has an ancient beast, the Nine-Tailed Dragon Qilin, under his command, along with the Beast Taming Sect Ancestor and the Demon Suppression Tower...

Such a lineup, gone just like that?

Li Taixuan sat upright in the main seat, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest. His majestic face revealed no emotion, but those who knew him knew that the calmer the Holy Lord appeared, the stronger his killing intent was.

"The Great Xia Dynasty is no ordinary nation; it was capable of annihilating the Beast Taming Sect's expeditionary force."

He finally spoke, his voice not loud, yet it silenced all the noise in the hall.

"Don't rush into action. Order the Intelligence Bureau to mobilize all their hidden agents and thoroughly investigate the Great Xia Dynasty's secrets. I need to know everything: how many people they have, how many powerful figures they have, and whether they have deeper forces behind them."

"yes!"

"Furthermore—" Li Taixuan glanced around, "Qing Xuanzi and the others' matter must not be left like this. Our Taicang Holy Land has been established for hundreds of thousands of years, and no one has ever dared to slap us in the face like this."

"But don't act rashly before you've found out what's going on with them. I don't want to lose any more manpower for nothing."

The elders all accepted the order in unison.

……

The news that the Great Xia Divine Dynasty had annihilated the Beast Taming Sect's expeditionary force and used numerous high-grade and even supreme pills to subdue many rogue cultivators and sect forces swept across the entire Heavenly Realm at an astonishing speed over the next two days.

The four characters "Great Xia Dynasty" went from being unknown to being known by everyone overnight.

"Have you heard? A force called the Great Xia Divine Dynasty has emerged in the Nine Heavens Star Domain. The sect leader of the Beast Taming Sect personally led troops to suppress it, but the entire army was wiped out!"

"Not only that, the Great Xia Dynasty has also brought out a bunch of premium-grade pills and even supreme-grade pills, which can be obtained simply by joining them!"

"My God... just what is the background of this Great Xia Dynasty?"

Various factions secretly gathered intelligence.

Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Sword Palace.

Inside a magnificent palace of elders, a middle-aged man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes was flipping through an intelligence jade slip in his hand.

His name is Xu Cang, one of the nine elders of the Sword Palace. The Guixu Sword Sect is a vassal force that he personally cultivated.

"Elder, the Guixu Sword Sect... is gone."

At that moment, a disciple knelt on the ground, his voice trembling.

"The sect leader was killed instantly by a single sword strike, and the patriarch was cut in two, his body and soul annihilated. The entire Guixu Sword Sect has declared its submission to the Great Xia Divine Dynasty."

The jade slip in Xu Cang's hand shattered with a crack.

"How dare you." His voice was soft, but the temperature in the hall plummeted by dozens of degrees. "Do they think they can touch the vassal forces of my Sword Palace?"

If you destroy one Guixu Sword Sect today, will you dare to destroy a second or third one tomorrow?

Who would dare to pledge allegiance to the Sword Palace then?

"Pass down the order, I want—"

Before he could finish speaking, a communication jade slip flew into the hall, shattered, and transformed into a curtain of light.

The Palace Master's summons?

Xu Cang raised an eyebrow, got up and left.

When he arrived at the main hall of the Sword Palace, he found that all nine elders had already arrived.

This level of gathering has not been seen for many years.

At the head of the table stood a man dressed in a white sword robe, exuding an otherworldly aura, with his hands behind his back.

This person was none other than Liu Jianchen, the Palace Master of the Sword Palace.

"Everyone has arrived." Liu Jianchen glanced at everyone and went straight to the point, "You should all know about the birth of the Innate Sword Body in the lower realm a few months ago."

The nine elders nodded.

They vividly remembered the extraordinary phenomenon of ten thousand swords ringing out in unison.

"Breaking news—that person with the innate sword physique has appeared in the Celestial Realm."

The atmosphere inside the hall changed abruptly.

"Moreover—" Liu Jianchen paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, "she is very likely hiding a secret about the Heaven-Slaying Sword."

Dead silence.

A deathly silence that lasted for several breaths.

Immediately, the hall erupted in chaos.

"The Heaven-Slaying Sword?!"

"The Heavenly Emperor's natal imperial weapon?!"

A senior elder abruptly stood up, his voice cracking: "Palace Master, is this true? The Heaven-Slaying Sword has been sought for over ten thousand years, countless forces have exhausted all means to find it, how could it be related to a little girl from the lower realm?"

Liu Jianchen raised his hand, and the hall returned to silence.

"The source is reliable. There is a secret realm called the Heavenly Sword Sect in the lower realm, where the Heaven-Slaying Sword is sealed! And this person with the innate sword physique is the only direct descendant of the Heavenly Sword Sect. The key to opening the sword tomb is on her."

These words struck so hard that all nine elders gasped for breath.

Slay the Heavenly Emperor.

The top expert of the ancient sword path!

His natal imperial weapon, the Heaven-Slaying Sword, contains a complete imperial lineage.

If this thing falls into the hands of the Sword Palace, the Sword Palace's foundation will rise to a new level, directly approaching those ancient imperial clans!

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's find a way to locate this person with the innate sword physique!" An impatient elder slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

At this moment, an elder suddenly said, "Could that innate sword body be in Gu Santong's hands? After all, he appeared in the lower realm before!"

"Ancient Three Passes"

Upon hearing those three words, the atmosphere in the hall subtly froze for a moment.

Ancient Three Passes

This person comes from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, the greatest sword-wielding sect in ancient times.

However, in that great war between gods and demons, Mount Shu was almost destroyed, with only a few disciples barely surviving. Gu Santong was the only top expert left in Mount Shu after that great war!

"Although Gu Santong is strong, he is ultimately just one person." Liu Jianchen's voice was calm and decisive. "The remaining forces of Shu Mountain are nothing but a bunch of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, not worth fearing."

"For the sake of the Heaven-Slaying Sword, even offending Gu Santong is worthwhile."

He looked around at the elders, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.

"Pass down the order: mobilize all of Sword Palace's hidden agents and affiliated forces to search for the whereabouts of the Innate Sword Body. Once found, bring him back to Sword Palace at all costs!"

"yes!"

The nine elders responded in unison and dispersed.

At the same time, many other top forces in the Celestial Realm also learned about the Innate Sword Body and the Heaven-Slaying Sword.

All of this information was released by the Holy Heaven Sect.

The reason they did this was naturally to use the power of the entire Heavenly Realm to force out Chu Qingge, the innate sword body who had been rescued by the mysterious powerhouse!

In an instant, an undercurrent targeting the Innate Sword Body swept across the Heavenly Realm!
