"Please speak plainly, sage!"

The sage remained silent for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"China is now surrounded by powerful enemies from the outside and has hidden dangers within its borders."

He paused, then continued:

"The border area has never been peaceful."

Foreign powers are eyeing the area covetously, frequently harassing it, and small-scale conflicts are constant.

Luo Tian nodded without saying a word.

The sage glanced at him and continued:

"What's even more troublesome is the ancient martial arts world."

"The ancient martial arts world?"

Luo Tian frowned slightly.

The sage nodded:

"Although the ancient martial arts world is isolated from the world, its strength far surpasses that of ordinary people."

The six righteous sects and five heretical sects each possess profound foundations.

He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the sky outside:

"They appear to be law-abiding, but their ambitions have never been extinguished."

The dream of world domination has been passed down from generation to generation.

Luo Tian remained silent; the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is a matter of course.

"Over the years, the ancient martial arts world has been secretly infiltrating."

The sage turned around and looked at Luo Tian:

"Xu Wudi is one of their men."

Luo Tian's eyes narrowed.

Xu Wudi, the highest leader of the Dragon Group and the God of War of China, is actually from the ancient martial arts world?

"I've wanted to remove this thorn for a long time, but the right opportunity just hasn't come yet."

The sage sighed:

"The ancient martial arts world is too complex; taking action rashly could lead to uncontrollable consequences."

He looked at Luo Tian, ​​then at Xiao Jin, his eyes filled with anticipation:

"Luo Tian, ​​I invited you here today because I want to ask you for a favor."

"Please speak, sage."

"I hope you can lend a helping hand when China faces a crisis in the future."

The sage spoke earnestly:

"I know this request is a bit abrupt."

But besides you, I really can't think of anyone else.

He paused, his voice low:

"What's more, you have a dragon by your side."

The dragon is the totem of the Chinese nation and a symbol of good fortune.

The presence of a dragon signifies that Heaven favors China.

Luo Tian, ​​you are not only your own hope, but also the hope of China.

Luo Tian remained silent for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"I am Chinese."

The sage was slightly taken aback.

"My parents and my daughter all live on this land."

Luo Tian stood up, his gaze resolute:

"I will not stand idly by when China is in trouble."

Little Jin flew onto Luo Tian's shoulder and said in a childish voice:

"Don't worry, old man, with the master here, no one can act recklessly in China!"

The sage's eyes reddened slightly, and he patted Luo Tian's shoulder heavily:

"Good! Good! Good!"

He said "good" three times in a row, which showed how excited he was.

"I'm relieved to hear you say that."

The sage took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions.

He turned to look at Old Zhao, a resolute glint in his eyes:

"Go and bring the things here."

Old Zhao was taken aback, then realized what was happening, and his expression changed slightly:

"Sir, those two items..."

"Give it to me!"

The sage's words left no room for doubt.

Old Zhao said no more and turned to leave.

A moment later, he returned carrying a long sandalwood box.

The box is old and worn, carved with dragon and phoenix patterns, exuding the vicissitudes of time.

The sage took the wooden box, his hands trembling slightly.

He slowly opened the box, inside which lay two swords quietly.

It was a golden sword, its blade engraved with ancient runes, exuding an awe-inspiring righteousness.

One side is engraved with the sun, moon and stars, and the other side is engraved with mountains, rivers and plants.

It was entirely silver-white, with a slender blade that gleamed with an icy light.

"This is……"

Luo Tian's eyes narrowed.

His divine sense had already detected the extraordinary nature of these two swords.

"The Xuanyuan Sword!"

The sage took out the golden longsword, held it with both hands, and presented it to Luo Tian.

"The Xuanyuan Sword?"

Luo Tian took the sword, and the blade trembled slightly, emitting a clear hum.

As spiritual energy was infused, the sword shone with golden light, and runes flowed around it.

A surge of righteous energy burst forth from the sword.

"What a fine sword!"

A glint of light flashed in Luo Tian's eyes.

This Xuanyuan Sword is actually a high-grade spiritual weapon, and it's a flying sword!

It can be used from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage.

In this degenerate age of Earth, it can be described as a rare and divine weapon!

"This sword has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is said to be the divine weapon used by the Yellow Emperor."

The sage stroked his beard and said:

"For thousands of years, no one has been able to control it."

"Today I present this to you; it is a fitting gift for a hero."

Luo Tian stood holding his sword, the blade shimmering with golden light, making him appear like a god descended from heaven.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

He solemnly clasped his hands in return.

With this flying sword in hand, his combat power will increase by at least 30%.

The sage then took the silver longsword from the box and handed it to Xiao Nian Nian:

"Niannian, this is the Taiyi Sword, I'm giving it to you."

Xiao Niannian took the sword; the blade was longer than her whole body, and it was a bit difficult to hold it in her arms.

"What a beautiful sword! Niannian loves it, hee hee...!"

Her big eyes sparkled, and she couldn't put it down.

Luo Tian scanned the area with his divine sense and was startled once again.

The Taiyi Sword is actually a mid-grade spiritual weapon!

Although it's not as powerful as the Xuanyuan Sword, it's more than enough for Xiao Niannian's current cultivation level.

Moreover, the sword itself possesses an icy attribute, which complements Nian Nian's innate Daoist physique.

"Niannian, quickly thank Grandpa."

Luo Tian said softly.

Little Niannian, clutching the sword, said in her childish voice:

"Thank you, Grandpa! Niannian really likes this gift!"

The sage laughed heartily:

"If you like it, that's good. If you like it, that's good."

Little Gold flew to the Taiyi Sword and tapped the blade with its claw:

"Young master, this sword is fine; it's worthy of you!"

Little Niannian nodded happily.

Luo Tian looked at the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand and felt a surge of emotion.

With this flying sword, he was not afraid at all, even when facing the entire Imperial Sword Sect.

The Imperial Sword Sect? Let me show you what a true sword immortal is.

……

Little Niannian held the Taiyi Sword tightly, unable to put it down.

The little golden disc perched on her shoulder, curiously examining the sword blade and occasionally touching it with its paw.

The sage watched this scene with great satisfaction.

He turned around, picked up a brocade box from the table, and opened it.

Inside was a jade pendant, entirely emerald green, carved with an exquisite phoenix pattern.

"Niannian, come here."

The sage beckoned to Xiao Niannian.

Little Niannian walked over, carrying the sword, her little face tilted up:

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

The sage tied the jade pendant around her neck:

"From this day forward, you are Princess Pingnan of China."

Xiao Niannian was stunned:

"Princess Pingnan? What's that?"

The sage laughed and said:

"It's just a title. Grandpa hopes you will always keep a pure heart, work for the benefit of the people, and bring glory to the country in the future."

He glanced at the little goldfish on Xiao Niannian's shoulder, then at Luo Tian, ​​and said meaningfully:

"With a dragon by your side, a divine sword protecting you, and you being a princess, Niannian, you are truly China's lucky star!"

Little Niannian seemed to understand but not quite, yet she was still very happy:

"Thank you, Grandpa!"

She hugged the saint and kissed him on the cheek.

The sage laughed heartily, in high spirits.

Luo Tian felt a surge of warmth in his heart as he watched this scene.

This old man dedicated his entire life to the cause of China.

Now, they are planning ahead for the future, which is admirable.

They chatted until evening before Luo Tiancai took his leave.

The sage saw him to the door and shook his hand:

"Luo Tian, ​​take care!"

Even saints should take care!

Luo Tian carried Xiao Niannian and got into the car.

The little golden plate rested on Xiao Niannian's shoulder, and the dragon claws still gripped the hilt of the Taiyi Sword, as if afraid of losing it.

The car slowly drove away...

The sage stood at the door, watching the departing carriage, and remained silent for a long time.

"Sir, please go back inside; it's windy outside."

Old Zhao said softly.

The sage nodded and turned to walk back.

After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped:

"Elder Zhao, do you think... Luo Tian can deal with the ancient martial arts world?"

Old Zhao was silent for a moment:

"It should be possible!"

"I think so too."

The sage smiled and stepped into the courtyard.

He took a few steps, then stopped and muttered to himself:

"Dragon... Xuanyuan Sword... How many years has it been since China has witnessed such a spectacle?"

Old Zhao said softly:

"This is an auspicious omen, indicating that China's fortunes are flourishing."

The sage nodded, his eyes full of expectation:

"I hope so!"

……

In the car, Xiao Niannian touched the jade pendant around her neck and hugged the Taiyi Sword, unable to put it down:

"Daddy, Niannian is a little princess now! And she got a magic sword!"

Luo Tian smiled and ruffled her hair:

"Niannian will always be her father's little princess, and also the Princess of Pingnan of China!"

"Then Niannian must protect China and protect Daddy from now on!"

Little Niannian clenched her little fists, looking very serious.

Little Jin peeked out from over her shoulder:

"Young master, I will do my utmost to assist you!"

"Okay! Let's do our best together!"

The man and the dragon started chattering away.

Luo Tian looked out the window, his gaze deep and thoughtful.

Ancient martial arts world...

Xu Wudi...

A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.

If you behave yourselves, fine. But if you dare to cause trouble, I won't hesitate to make you disappear from this world!
