"oh."

Li Ming nodded calmly, indicating that he understood, and then pointed to the sword in his hand:

"However, in the end, the Long Night Sword is the weapon of an emperor and has its own thoughts. Its willingness to follow me is naturally outside the rules. Or do you think that the so-called rules can restrict a dignified imperial weapon?"

Or are you saying you don't care at all about the Long Night Sword's thoughts?

After speaking, as if in response to Li Ming's words, the Long Night Sword also released a terrifying pressure, making these powerful martial artists in the Unity Realm feel somewhat suffocated.

The atmosphere on the field instantly became quiet, eerily quiet.

"Lord Imperial Weapon, please calm your anger... I have overstepped my bounds."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Sword Sect elder who had spoken earlier could not withstand the pressure and immediately knelt on the ground, begging for forgiveness from the Emperor Weapon Ancestor.

To outsiders, it might seem comical that a dignified martial god of the Unity Realm would kneel down and beg for mercy before a sword.

But soon everyone from the Taiyi Sword Sect also knelt down, claiming that they were wrong.

This scene made Li Ming feel somewhat guilty.

He himself was a "big villain" who took away someone else's ancestral weapon and then turned around and made them kneel down. This was really going too far.

However...

He couldn't possibly spit out the meat he had already eaten.

This imperial weapon will definitely not be returned.

Outside the Sword Tomb Secret Realm.

The numerous sword cultivators, listening to their juniors' descriptions and the conversation between Li Ming and the Taiyi Sword Sect members, gradually understood the whole story, which immediately stirred up a wave of discussion.

They've certainly broadened their horizons:

There really are people who can take away the Taiyi Sword Sect's most prized imperial weapon just by virtue of their personal charm!

Previously, everyone thought that the most they could do was take a quasi-emperor weapon out, but no one expected that someone could actually accomplish such a feat.

Imperial weapons are incredibly arrogant. They don't even bother with these genius sword cultivators at the Heaven and Earth Realm, let alone many quasi-emperors. They have seen far more amazing geniuses and are naturally not interested in these weaklings.

"alright!"

An old and deep voice suddenly rang out, and at the same time, a powerful aura immediately subdued the scene.

Along with the voice, the figure of an elderly man with white hair and a youthful face appeared.

"Li Ming, is that right..."

He looked at Li Ming, his eyes filled with a complex expression, and paused before saying, word by word:

"You...are amazing!"

“I have never seen a genius like you before.”

Li Ming smiled and glanced at the newcomer:

"You flatter me, senior."

"The Third Ancestor".

The Taiyi Sword Sect members' eyes lit up when they saw the old man arrive.

The newcomer was a peerless figure from the Taiyi Sword Sect ten thousand years ago. He had long since reached the Quasi-Emperor realm and was now the Third Supreme Elder, a top-tier combatant of the Sword Sect.

"Since the Long Night Emperor Sword is willing to follow young friend Li, then our Taiyi Sword Sect will naturally not stop it."

The third patriarch of the Sword Sect spoke resolutely, seemingly without a trace of regret, and then looked at the disciples of the Taiyi Sword Sect:

"If any of you disciples of the Sword Sect are truly dissatisfied, you may challenge Li Ming to a sword duel. The victor shall be king."

"yes……"

Many disciples subconsciously agreed, then looked at Li Ming, and seeing the imperial weapon in his hand, their faces immediately turned bitter, like wax.

Originally, the difference between them and Li Ming was like that between a stream and the ocean.

Now that the opponent possesses an imperial weapon, this is probably the difference between a stream and a galaxy, isn't it?

“Young Li…”

The Third Ancestor looked at Li Ming for a long time and then exhaled:

"The weapon of the Long Night Sword Emperor is yours... Treat it well."

Upon hearing this, Li Ming smiled.

"Senior, please rest assured, the Long Night Sword is in my hands and will certainly not be wasted."

After saying that, the Long Night Sword also emitted a melodious sword cry with great intelligence, and then a sword light burst forth, leaving a sword mark on the cliff not far away.

"This is……"

The Third Ancestor looked at the sword mark. With his keen eyesight, he could see the imperial aura contained within it—an immortal will.

In other words, this sword mark is somewhat helpful to these quasi-emperors, and it can exist for a very long time.

Maybe.

This was the last gift that the Long Night Sword Emperor left for them.

"Alas, the younger generation has failed to live up to the expectations of the ancestor."

Thinking of this, the Third Patriarch's heart, which had remained undisturbed for many years, couldn't help but feel an urge to shed tears.

Fortunately, his strong body control suppressed the impulse, preventing him from losing face in front of the younger generation.

"well……"

Seeing this, Li Ming felt a pang of sympathy.

Suddenly, he thought of something and said seriously:

“Senior, if the Taiyi Sword Sect doesn’t mind, I can join.”

"Hmm...what?"

The Third Patriarch originally thought that out of sight, out of mind, he would simply leave.

Unexpectedly, Li Ming gave him this surprise at the end.

Li Ming laughed:

“I have never joined a sect before. If the Taiyi Sword Sect does not mind, I can become a member of the Sword Sect.”

"really?"

The Third Patriarch's eyes lit up, and in his haste, he grabbed Li Ming's sleeve and said...

Li Ming nodded and said:

"really!"

He wasn't lying; he really had never joined any sect.

The Six Doors and the Primordial Divine Dynasty are not sects, but rather different entities. The former is a subordinate force of the imperial court, while the latter is a divine dynasty.

Many experts from the original divine dynasties came from all over the country, and some were not even born in the Xuanhuang Realm.

The princes and princesses of the Primordial Divine Dynasty will also join their favorite sects and holy lands...

If he could join the Taiyi Sword Sect and take away the sect's weapons, there wouldn't be anything wrong with that, right?

Even if they took away two imperial weapons, it could only be considered a local legend!

People would only envy the Taiyi Sword Sect for producing such a peerless figure, rather than gloat.

"Okay, okay!"

The Third Patriarch clapped his hands and readily agreed.

Is there really such a good thing?

He never expected that a prodigy of Li Ming's caliber would never have joined any sect.

That's truly a strange story.

"However, as a peerless genius unparalleled throughout the ages, I have no face to accept you as my disciple. Since that is the case, I can only accept you as my disciple on behalf of my master."

The Third Patriarch calmed down and thought it over.

If he were to shamelessly accept Li Ming as his disciple, the other elders would certainly be unhappy if they found out.

There will likely be endless arguments, and they might even come to blows.

He brought up his deceased master, and even the current Supreme Elder would have nothing to say about it, right?

Li Ming naturally had no objections.

I just find it a little funny that my status has suddenly become so high.

at the same time.

The elders of the Taiyi Sword Sect were completely baffled by the sight of their Third Ancestor so happy.

They never expected this.

These old folks are about to have a young ancestor on their heads.
