After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

Close-quarters combat: A slender sword wrapped around the finger, combining softness with strength.

Unbreakable: Never wears out or loses sharpness when facing weapons of a lower grade than itself.

Man and sword as one: mind and intention are in perfect harmony, as easy as using one's own arm and fingers.

Substitute Death: If the master suffers a fatal injury, the substitute can die once.

The strongest skill of the Shengwu Sword is the Gouchen Sword Qi, which I have seen stored within the Gouchen Emperor's sword dance.

That was the Heavenly Emperor's sword energy.

How miraculous will it be to use?

Zhou Yan took a deep breath, gripped the hilt of his sword, and then swung his martial arts sword.

The moment he swung it, Zhou Yan felt a massive amount of energy pour into the Life Martial Sword. The mottled marks on the sword shone brightly, giving it a rather cool look.

Zhou Yan always felt that his equipment was too poor. Lin Lei's weapon was a celestial sword of a heavenly soldier, which looked very majestic. Wu Shanfu's sword was the sword of a wandering immortal, which looked very ethereal. What was his own?

A sword made of bamboo looks very different from a true immortal sword. Now that the blade of the Shengwu Sword is glowing, it barely has the feeling of being an extraordinary object.

That's great. That's exactly what I wanted—constant particle effects during fights, the kind where the sword light is so bright it can blind people.

Zhou Yan said with a hint of pride.

"A hall full of flowers intoxicates three thousand guests; a single sword's light chills nineteen provinces."

With this sword strike, he feared he might be able to divide the Eastern Xia Federation in two. Future history books would record that in a certain year, a peerless swordsman raised and lowered his sword, dividing the world in two and shocking all the heroes.

Ideally, you should choose a picture of yourself flying on a sword, and wear the same moon-white scholar's robe as the Wuqu Star character; that would give you a more sophisticated look.

So what's the background?

Is it towering mountains, a bright moon in the sky, or a vast expanse of blue waves?

It's such a difficult choice!

Which one is more handsome?

Just as Zhou Yan was lost in thought, a milky white sword aura, the same size as the blade of the Shengwu Sword, flew out from the Shengwu Sword that Zhou Yan had swung.

Zhou Yan waited with a mixture of fear and anticipation for the sword energy to fly out, tearing the earth apart, severing mountain ranges, and causing chaos and destruction.

However, the sword energy flew slower and slower as it came out, and after flying five meters away, it hovered in mid-air and stopped moving.

Zhou Yan stared at the sword energy for a moment.

Gouchen Sword Qi: Don't even think about it. This sword qi is alive. Do you understand that magic has a primordial spirit?

Zhou Yan stared at the entry about the existence of a primordial spirit.

The Dharma possesses a primordial spirit: supreme divine power, which means giving you a spell, sword energy, and AI.

Any magical artifact, once it can give birth to a true spirit, can be transformed from a magical artifact into a magical treasure or a divine weapon. These true spirits, when cultivated to an extremely profound level, can also transform into humans or become gods.

The law possesses a primordial spirit, which is to add a thinking true spirit to things like magic and sword energy. This is already considered to be the level of creating life, only slightly inferior to Nuwa creating humans. Therefore, it is an unparalleled divine power.

Zhou Yan stared at the explanation of the Dharma having a primordial spirit, muttering to himself.

"It looks impressive, but it's not the impressive thing I imagined."

Zhou Yan felt like he was Jolyne Jolyne in prison, with a supposedly very powerful defense lawyer coming to defend him. When he got there, he found out that the lawyer was a certain blond human evil vampire.

Although they are both lawyers and are indeed very capable, isn't this development a bit off?

God Gouchen, shouldn't your sword energy be invincible and unstoppable?

What's the point of having a primordial spirit in a magic system?

Zhou Yan tried shouting at the sword energy.

"Hey……"

The milky-white sword energy flickered and flew back to the Shengwu Sword in Zhou Yan's hand with a whoosh.

Zhou Yan waved the Shengwu Sword in his hand again. As the owner of the Shengwu Sword, Zhou Yan could clearly feel the milky white Gouchen Sword Qi hiding inside the Shengwu Sword, but it refused to come out no matter what.

Zhou Yan tried to exchange a few words with the Gouchen sword energy, but the thing completely ignored him.

After a period of stalemate, Zhou Yan gave up.

Oh well, anyway, my awakening level has increased, and the Great Evolution's abilities are incredibly powerful. If this Gouchen Sword Qi isn't that useful, then so be it.

Ultimately, you have to rely on yourself for everything.

Also, I've been in Luomen City for a week now, and a quarter of what Qinglong promised has already passed.

Zhou Yan ascended into the void.

Yesterday, his bloodline awakening level reached 50%, and with Professor Wang and his group coming over today, Zhou Yan considered whether he should skip going back to the Luomen City Government today.

After testing my new abilities and the Life Sword, I'll head straight to Mount Renwang. Maybe a walk around will lead me to clues about the Azure Dragon.

Once in mid-air, Zhou Yan took out a map, looked at it, and then sped off in one direction.

The so-called Mount Renwang, where Qinglong said He could find His primordial personhood, was two states away from Luomen City, where Zhou Yan was located, with the closest straight-line distance being 1500 kilometers.

However, Zhou Yan's speed has now exceeded 10,000, and his full-speed running speed can reach five times the speed of sound.

That is, 1.7 kilometers per second.

The distance between the two states was only fifteen minutes for Zhou Yan to reach the border of Dayi State, where Renwang Mountain is located, and then it took him another two minutes to reach a peak of Renwang Mountain.

Renwang Mountain is called a mountain, but it is actually a mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles, almost spanning the entire Dayi Prefecture. There are dozens of peaks and countless plants and animals along the way.

Looking around, Zhou Yan could only see rolling mountains and lush forests.

Is the Azure Dragon's status as a creator god located here?

"You're Representative Zhou Yanzhou?"

Three kilometers away on a hilltop, a man in a black suit with rough, sun-tanned skin shouted at Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan walked over and stood in front of the man. The man smiled at Zhou Yan and bowed.

“Councilor Zhou, I am Lord Qinglong’s subordinate. You can call me Ah Le. I am in charge of this area.”

Qinglong has owned Renwang Mountain for over fifteen years. During those fifteen years, numerous geologists and detectives have entered Renwang Mountain to search for Qinglong's primordial identity, but they have not found it.

However, the resources and connections invested were not without merit. Over the past fifteen years, all sorts of information about Renwang Mountain have piled up on Qinglong's desk.

Of course, the local Qinglong subordinates also have countless information. In order to save time, Zhou Yan had informed Qinglong's subordinates at Renwang Mountain in advance, and the two sides have now met on time and at the right place.

Zhou Yan took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, gave one to Ah Le in front of him, and then lit it for him.

Ah Le took a sip, his face showing a dazed expression.

"To be honest, I've been on this mountain for eleven years. I've been to all sorts of places and walked all over the place, but I really can't find what Lord Qinglong asked us to find."

Ah Le looked at Zhou Yan helplessly.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense, Councilor Zhou. I'll take you to my residence, where you'll find all the local information about Wang Shan."

Zhou Yan nodded.

"It's troublesome."

"Of course."

Ah Le walked towards another hilltop, where a road led to a distant city. At the end of the road was a flat area on the hillside, where a cluster of reinforced concrete buildings stood.

Ah Le said as he walked.

“Councilor Zhou, let me tell you, this Renwang Mountain wasn’t originally called Renwang Mountain. According to the archaeologists who came here ten years ago, the mountain’s name was Renhuang Mountain. It was one of the settlements of the tribe of the Yellow Emperor in the past, and the Yellow Emperor once performed sacrifices here.”

Zhou Yan paused, then asked Ah Le in astonishment.

"You did it, a sacrifice? This place is the Yellow Emperor's sacred site?"

Zhou Yan remembered that the Yellow Emperor and he, Bai Ze, had a good relationship, and that he had given the "Bai Ze Picture" to the Yellow Emperor.

Ah Le shook his head.

“There are many mountains with traces of the Yellow Emperor, this is just one of them, and one of the least known ones.”

Zhou Yan stroked his chin, somewhat puzzled, wondering if this place was the one where he had given the Yellow Emperor the "Bai Ze Tu" in the past.

Ah Le continued.

"However, the Yellow Emperor was a famous figure after all. Lord Qinglong brought the most outstanding historians and archaeologists to this place to conduct archaeological research, but in the end they found nothing. They only found some clues in the legends in the local chronicles."

Zhou Yan asked.

"What are these clues?"

Ah Le said jokingly.

"It is said that the Yellow Emperor and Chi You once fought here. At that time, Chi You was incredibly powerful and threatened the ancestors of the local villagers to set a trap to kill the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor was young at the time and could not defeat him, so he ran away. Chi You chased after him, saying that he wanted to have children with the Yellow Emperor."

Ah Le laughed.

"There is a legend in this area that the Yellow Emperor was actually a girl."

Zhou Yan: "..."

No, actually, Chi You was a big dick, capable of making any man he met give birth.

Ah Le touched his chin.

"And then there's Emperor Yan. I heard a historian say that the saying 'descendants of Yan and Huang' might actually mean that Emperor Yan was a girl and Emperor Huang was a man."

Zhou Yan rolled his eyes.

"This saying is similar to the story of Yu the Great passing his home three times without entering because he had a mistress outside."

Ah Le laughed heartily.

Amidst laughter, the two arrived at Ah Le's usual hideout. Ah Le led Zhou Yan to his house, then to his study, and then took out a stack of documents that was as tall as Zhou Yan.

"These are all the topographical and historical data we have found for Renwang Mountain so far."

Ah Le patted the documents and looked at Zhou Yan with a pitiful expression.

“Councilor Zhou, take your time looking at it. If you get hungry, just let me know and I’ll prepare a meal for you.”

"It's troublesome."

"Councilor Zhou, you're too kind. This is all I should do."

Ah Le left the study.

Zhou Yan got up and began to look through the documents.

This data originally consisted of topographical information and geological studies of Renwang Mountain. Zhou Yan read it through, but because it contained too many technical terms, he put it aside.

Next came the study of folk customs materials and local chronicles and county chronicles.

The claim that the Yellow Emperor once offered sacrifices at this place is not unfounded. According to the materials Zhou Yan reviewed, the villages in this area protected the totems and ancient artifacts of the ancient Youxiong tribe.

This is similar to Zhou Yan's guess. Just now, A Le said that Chi You wanted to capture the Yellow Emperor to have children. This sounds like a strange tale, but according to Zhou Yan's understanding of Chi You, Chi You really is capable of doing such a thing.

Following the research on these local chronicles and county records, Zhou Yan quickly found the story that A-Le had mentioned before: Chi You capturing the Yellow Emperor.

In the story, Chi You did indeed capture the ancestors of this village. He used the ancestors of the local villagers to set a trap and directly captured the Yellow Emperor who came to offer sacrifices. However, it was not as A Le said that the Yellow Emperor ran away on his own. According to the local chronicle that Zhou Yan saw, a god descended from the sky, suppressed Chi You, and rescued the Yellow Emperor.

This is an interesting topic.

Zhou Yan searched for the location where this myth took place, and it seemed to be on the twentieth peak of the Renwang Mountain range—the nameless peak.

Here comes the clue!

Zhou Yan opened the study window and flew out of the study.

The nameless peak was 30 kilometers away from where Zhou Yan was, and it took Zhou Yan less than a minute to reach the top of the nameless peak.

This unnamed peak is not high, only about 100 meters high. One side is connected to the mountains, and the other side is a sizable basin with a lake. The lake is connected to the surrounding woodland, making it look like an extremely primitive landform.

But when Zhou Yan's gaze shifted from the nameless peak to the basin lake below it, his omniscient ability abruptly passed through the lake water and vegetation, allowing him to see the basin after removing the lake water, vegetation, and other obstructions to his view.
