They are the women standing behind me.

"It has never been stained with blood, and it has never taken anyone's life. It must be the Hidden Sword. The former owner of this sword must have never encountered a Hidden Sword worthy of his own use."

The Sword Emperor continued, "But it's definitely not the hidden sword of Sword Saints or Sword Ancestors."

"Huh? Why?"

Qin Xingyuan was surprised that the 'Sword Emperor' could be so sure about this?

"I once saw an ancient painting that gave me the same feeling as this sword."

The Sword Emperor said, "So its momentum isn't actually sword momentum, but... contaminated momentum. Just like the saying goes, 'If you keep company with vermilion, you'll become red. If you keep company with ink, you'll become black.' If I put it this way, I think you'll understand better."

Qin Xingyuan was shocked. "In other words, the power it possesses is tainted with the power of the great figures it followed?"

"Ah."

The Sword Emperor nodded slightly. "That ancient map is quite impressive, too. It depicts mountains, rivers, sun, and moon. It feels as if they are suppressed by them. This aura of this sword must share a common origin. This heavy sword is likely a mere weapon of its former owner, just like the ancient map I once saw."

Chapter 96: A Sword That Cuts Through Heaven and Earth

Qin Xingyuan was lost in thought when he heard the Sword Emperor continue, "I once tried to investigate the origins of that ancient map... but couldn't find a single clue... In short, the former owner of this heavy sword must have been a very important figure."

"I wonder where you, Senior Sword Emperor, have seen that ancient map?" Qin Xingyuan asked curiously.

"Guangling Territory."

The Sword Emperor said, "If you go to Guangling Territory, you can let this sword of mine take you there. Although it can't communicate with you, it can understand everything you say. Of course, after so many years, it might have been taken away by someone else. After all, no treasure is likely waiting for you."

When Qin Xingyuan nodded slightly, the Sword Emperor took the initiative to ask, "What do you want to ask?"

Qin Xingyuan hesitated for a moment and asked, "I want to know, have you ever resented this world before?"

"No, it's my weapon spirit. Please stand up for me."

The Sword Emperor informed with a smile.

"Why are you..."

"If I resent this world, wouldn't I also resent the parents who brought me to this world? Even if I'm here, I'm still alive. Feeling resentful is also living, and being happy is also living... Instead of resentment, why not strive to improve yourself and try to change this world... The truly strong ones strive to change the status quo, rather than just complaining about this and that..."

The Sword Emperor sat cross-legged. "Even if no one likes me, what's the harm? No matter how many people like me, how many of them can reach the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Realm, survive the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, and ascend to become immortals? Whether they hate me, despise me, or something else, ninety-nine percent of them will eventually disappear in the long river of time."

Hearing this, Qin Xingyuan looked at the 'Sword Emperor' with admiration.

"In fact, I just learned a lot of things from the weapon spirit. The kingdom I created no longer exists."

The Sword Emperor sighed somewhat sadly.

"I will definitely find your lineage in the future..."

Qin Xingyuan said seriously.

"No need."

The Sword Emperor shook his head and said, "I've already left. There's no need for you, the younger generation, to do anything for me. You have your own path, so why should I ask you to shoulder more burdens that shouldn't be yours while you're on your own? I can't help you on your journey, but I can spare you from carrying more burdens. Perhaps this, in itself, is the best way I can help you."

Qin Xingyuan looked at him with complicated eyes.

"And no matter what, I have my spirit accompanying me. I have a trustworthy partner I can talk to at any time, a confidant, faith, courage, and strength..."

The Sword Emperor smiled and said, "I have a lot of things... I'm not completely broke. I never look at what I don't have, I only look at what I have..."

"Senior's words..."

"No need to say more."

The Sword Emperor interrupted him, "Remember, if possible, don't live for the sake of becoming an immortal. Many cultivators and demon cultivators live until the day they die, simply striving to become immortals, never truly living for themselves."

"So Senior Sword Emperor didn't give up on becoming an immortal, but rather you don't live for the purpose of becoming an immortal. Then becoming an immortal is not your goal, and the immortal realm is not a place you must go to. There is nothing to regret if you don't become an immortal."

Qin Xingyuan seemed to have some feeling and said, "It would be great if I could be born in the same era as Senior Sword Emperor. We should be able to chat very well."

He is not a person who regards becoming an immortal as very important.

"Yeah, I'm sorry."

The Sword Emperor laughed and said, "My remaining soul cannot survive for long, and we cannot continue this conversation. I will only teach you one move, so please don't think it's too little."

"Thank you, Senior Sword Emperor." Qin Xingyuan was not polite.

The Sword Emperor spoke slowly, "This technique, piercing heaven and earth with one sword strike, was created after a realization I gained when I was in imminent danger. With the sword in my hand, I can carve a path for survival. I consider it a formidable technique. When used, its power is enough to pierce heaven and earth, but it only requires one strike. This is a life-or-death technique. Once used, you cannot kill others, and you will only be killed."

Qin Xingyuan looked serious.

"It stimulates your own potential, stimulates everything, and forcibly increases your combat power. As for how much power you can unleash, it depends on your aptitude, talent, potential, and so on. However, you will be weak for a period of time after using it, and you need to recuperate before you can recover."

The Sword Emperor warned: "Don't use it unless it's a life-or-death situation."

"Yes! I will remember what Senior Sword Emperor said!"

"I hope you won't have to use this trick again."

The Sword Emperor finished speaking, raised his hand, and lightly tapped his finger. A beam of light pierced into Qin Xingyuan's brow. "I will teach you this technique. Don't teach it to others. It's not that I'm stingy, but this technique isn't for everyone. If I hadn't seen you possess the Heavy Sword Seeking Defeat spirit, I wouldn't have taught you. Otherwise, if you used it, I'm afraid your golden core would shatter. Remember, if you don't want to harm others, don't teach it to others. Otherwise, if someone dies from this technique, even if you didn't kill them, they'll die because of you."

Qin Xingyuan looked solemn.

"I'll leave now. I still need to chat with the spirit of the weapon for a while. This sudden and brief encounter between you and me will eventually end. But in a person's life, encounters with many people are indeed sudden and brief, and they won't wait for you to be ready."

The three-meter-tall Sword Emperor stood up and looked down at Qin Xingyuan. "Of course, I will tell the weapon spirit to let you use it in the future. It will follow you and take another good look at this world. I believe this time, it may become a famous sword."

"Senior Sword Emperor, what is your name?!"

Qin Xingyuan asked hurriedly.

"I don't have a name. I've never seen my parents. I was raised by a monkey mother. Luckily, I was able to obtain a cultivation method and embark on the path of immortality. So, Sword Emperor... is actually the name I gave myself."

The Sword Emperor turned around and walked along, seemingly singing a song, "From heaven and earth, back to heaven and earth..."

As Qin Xingyuan watched his back, he suddenly felt that there was a reason why the Sword Emperor could reach such a height, and even why Xu Chengdao could become invincible, and it was all accumulated bit by bit...

Anyway, he was certain that one could not become invincible just by relying on his extraordinary talent in cultivating immortals!

There are so many things involved behind this!

He might already know some of them.

Dao heart, vision, bearing, aspirations, ambitions...

But there is something that he probably doesn't know yet. Maybe if he wants to be invincible, he must first be truly fearless and invincible in his heart?

……

Chapter 97: I have never seen such a big conscience

……

Qin Xingyuan practiced the sword technique that could slash through heaven and earth, then he thought of something and set off for Sun and Moon City.

After all, Senior Sister Ye’s meaning was very clear.

She had to make the important decision of whether to stay with the clan or go with them.

So this question is very simple.

Does he want Senior Sister Ye?

If you want, ask her to go with you.

To be honest, Senior Sister Ye is truly an extremely attractive and stunning beauty.

It is easy for a man to have a very deep interest in her and want to have an in-depth communication with her to get to know her inside and out.

Qin Xingyuan is not a indecisive person.

After paying the spirit stones and entering Sun Moon City, Qin Xingyuan came to the courtyard where Senior Sister Ye lived, looking like a thief. "Senior Sister Ye, it's me, your junior brother!"

"Junior Brother Qin, why are you here so late at night?"

When Ye Yunmei's soft and charming voice came, Qin Xingyuan saw her walking out with black stockings on her legs and high heels. Her watery, enchanting peach blossom eyes, her smiling face full of all kinds of charm, and her surging and terrifying waves were really...

Qin Xingyuan admitted that out of a man's desire, he actually wanted Senior Sister Ye.

"Junior Brother, I'm here to make the decision for Senior Sister Ye."

Qin Xingyuan laughed, walked over and entered the room.

Ye Yunmei turned around and followed, but said in a delicate voice, "Hey, Junior Brother Qin, I heard that you did something incredible again."

"Speaking of which, I'm going to have a life-and-death battle with Lu Yaozu from the Lu family," Qin Xingyuan said.

"Oh?"

"And a lot of things happened. I also got two powerful flying swords, one is called Duansheng and the other is called Zongheng."

Qin Xingyuan did not hide it either.

Ye Yunmei sat down, holding her chin with both hands, and looked at him, "Junior Brother Qin, since you are going to fight a life-and-death battle, you are not nervous at all?"

"Junior brother, I aspire to be invincible. How can I fall here?"

Qin Xingyuan said with a wink and a smile.

"You're quite conceited, but it's good that you have such an ambition. If you don't even have the desire to become invincible, how can you become invincible?"

Ye Yunmei snorted with a half-smile, "But if you keep doing this, if you really suffer a crushing defeat in the future, I'm afraid it will be too much of a blow and you'll never be able to recover."

Qin Xingyuan said calmly, "Then I'll ask Senior Sister Ye not to abandon me, my junior brother. Please comfort me and do everything you can to help me cheer up as soon as possible."

"Yo~"

Ye Yunmei narrowed her eyes, curled her bright red lips, and seemed to be biting her tongue on purpose. Her voice was so coquettish that it was unbearable and gave people goose bumps. "Junior Brother Qin, it turns out you are really a playboy? What about your Senior Sister Gu? What are you going to do? Didn't she say that she couldn't know?"

"Too."

Qin Xingyuan sighed in annoyance, "Although it's indeed exciting to be sneaky, this will make Senior Sister Ye shameful. Senior Sister Ye, don't worry, and let me find a way to deal with Senior Sister Gu. Then we can all be together..."

Just as he said this, Ye Yunmei kicked him lightly and glared at him fiercely, "Junior Brother Qin, you're so bold! Do you believe that Senior Sister will peel off your skin?!"

"Senior Sister Ye, there's no need to be so cruel, right?!"

"But do you really have a solution?"

"Senior Sister Ye, do you still look down on me, your junior brother?"

"Well……"

Ye Yunmei nodded slightly. "Then Senior Sister will also return to the sect for retreat. By then, she will also enter the Spiritual Transformation Realm, which will be even better. But don't expect anything good. Senior Sister is not your Senior Sister Gu. There are some things that I can give you. However, Senior Sister also has my conditions. If your Senior Sister Gu can accept this... Then the next time Senior Sister sees Junior Brother Qin, he should be in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm."

"Then Senior Sister Ye, why don't you give me another kiss?"

After Qin Xingyuan asked, he saw that her face was slightly red. He sighed inwardly, it turns out that she can blush too?

"Senior Sister knows that Junior Brother Qin, you came to me this night with no intention of doing good, but rather of doing harm. You are... in fact, a very bad person."

Ye Yunmei chuckled, "After that, Senior Sister will leave."

……

Twenty minutes later.

Qin Xingyuan separated from Ye Yunmei. Her voice was unusually soft and charming, with a hint of intoxicating tenderness, "Junior Brother Qin, Senior Sister is leaving, please don't see her off."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the door.

"Senior Sister Ye, please stay."

Qin Xingyuan stopped her and said, "Junior brother, I have something to discuss with Senior Sister Ye."

Ye Yunmei, with a rosy complexion, stopped and turned to look at him. She frowned and asked, "Junior Brother Qin, what do you want to discuss with me?"

"Junior brother, I'm a little embarrassed to speak up."

"Then Junior Brother Qin, please don't say anything."

Ye Yunmei crossed her arms and said, "This will save you from any trouble."

“But I still have to say it.”

Qin Xingyuan raised his right hand and pointed at her chest with a serious face, "Senior Sister Ye, to be honest, I have never seen such a big conscience. I really want to feel the weight of this big conscience."

Ye Yunmei bit her red lips with her silver teeth, glaring at Qin Xingyuan fiercely with a mixture of shame and anger, as if she was angry at his lack of fighting spirit and felt very disappointed with him. But she said in a soft and charming voice, "Senior Sister, I know that you, Junior Brother Qin, are up to no good! You are full of evil thoughts and evil ideas! I am not saying that you may have a peerless appearance, but how can you be so obsessed with such things? Is this all you have now?"

"Senior Sister Ye, only occasionally."
