“Could it be something about the Devil Sword Conference?” Yun Che asked directly.
“You really already know.” Ji Qianrou moved forward and flipped his right hand. A palm-sized regular hexagonal gem that emitted a dreamy blue light was pushed towards Yun Che. “This is the invitation to the Devil Sword Conference. After a hundred days, you can use it to enter my Supreme Ocean Palace and participate in the Devil Sword Conference.”
Yun Che reached out and took the blue gem in his hand. A cool and refreshing breath immediately came from his palm. He glanced at the words engraved on the gem, and then put it away: "Thank you, Senior Ji, for coming in person. I will definitely visit the Supreme Ocean Palace in a hundred days. In addition... Regarding the Devil Sword Conference, Senior Ji, please help me solve my doubts. What is the purpose of this conference? What does the 'Devil Sword' refer to?"
“Oh?” Ji Qianrou looked at Yun Che in surprise, and gently gathered her flawless white jade fingers together: “It turns out that little Cheche didn’t know. The Devil Sword Conference has been publicized in the upper Xuan Realm of Tianxuan Continent for such a long time, but little Cheche doesn’t even know what a Devil Sword is. It seems that little Cheche is not interested in the Devil Sword Conference.”
“To be honest with you, Senior Ji, I really don’t have much interest in the Devil Sword Conference.” Yun Che said without reservation: “But I can use this Devil Sword Conference to visit the Supreme Ocean Palace that I have longed for.”
“Hehehe…” Ji Qianrou laughed, her smile was more charming than a woman’s, and Yun Che’s stomach twisted violently. If he hadn’t controlled himself well enough, his face would have twisted. Ji Qianrou smiled and said, “Although this Devil Sword Conference has a lot of fanfare and gimmicks, in my opinion, it’s actually really boring. In comparison, I’m more interested in Xiao Cheche’s mysterious master. If Xiao Cheche’s master could condescend to come to the Supreme Ocean Palace, it would definitely cause a bigger sensation than the Devil Sword Conference.”
Yun Che smiled but said nothing.
"Since Xiao Cheche asked about the Demon Sword Conference, I must of course give a good answer. Speaking of the Demon Sword Conference... Xiao Cheche, have you heard of the Eternal Night Royal Family?" Ji Qianrou narrowed her peach blossom eyes, which were seven points more charming than a woman's, and spoke softly.
“The Eternal Night Royal Family?” Yun Che was startled, and then his brows moved: “Could it be that the ‘devil sword’ of the Devil Sword Conference refers to the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword?”
The name of the Eternal Night Royal Family was mentioned to Yun Che by Grand Palace Master Feng Qianhui on the first day Yun Che joined Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. According to Feng Qianhui's story, the Eternal Night Royal Family originally belonged to the Holy Land, one of the five major Holy Lands at the time, and was the only family power in the Holy Land. However, a thousand years ago, it was destroyed by the other four Holy Lands.
Later, the other three holy places gradually realized that they were being used by the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, but due to the reputation of the holy places, they had no choice but to continue to make the best of the situation and continue to establish the notoriety of the Eternal Night Royal Family, and quickly eliminate all traces of the Eternal Night Royal Family's existence. To this day, only a few people in the Profound Sky Continent know the name of the Eternal Night Royal Family, and as for the grievances of the past, outside of the four holy places, basically no one knows about it.
The reason why Bingyun Immortal Palace knew this was because Bingyun's ancestor Mu Bingyun had once received favors from the Eternal Night Royal Family. He could not get over the tragic demise of the Eternal Night Royal Family, so he sealed this memory in the Palace Master's inheritance.
"Ah! Although Xiao Cheche has never asked about the Devil Sword Conference, he still knows about the Eternal Night Royal Family and the Heavenly Sin Sword. No wonder, Xiao Cheche has such a powerful master. How could there be something in this world that Xiao Cheche doesn't know?"
Outside of the Four Holy Lands, very few people know the name of the Eternal Night Royal Family, and those who know about the "Heavenly Sin Sword" should be almost extinct.
Yun Che shook his head slightly: “I just heard about it by chance. But I don’t know the details. I hope Senior Ji can enlighten me on the reason.”
Ji Qianrou half-closed her eyes and said softly and slowly: "Speaking of the Heavenly Sin Sword, a thousand years ago, although few people knew its name, but in our holy land, everyone knows it. It is the only emperor's sword in Tianxuan Continent, the only emperor among swords. No one knows its origin. We only know that it is a sword guarded by the Eternal Night Royal Family for generations. As for the reason for guarding it, no one knows it either. I'm afraid that these secrets, even in the Eternal Night Royal Family, few people know them."
"In addition, since the world knew about the existence of the Heavenly Sin Sword, no one has ever used it. Perhaps it is too high-level and no one in the world can control it. Thousands of years ago, after the Eternal Night Royal Family committed an unforgivable crime and was destroyed by our four holy places, the Heavenly Sin Sword disappeared. There was no trace of it for a whole thousand years. However, not long ago, the Tianwei Sword Region claimed that they accidentally discovered a strange sword in a desolate place and confirmed that it was the Heavenly Sin Sword that had disappeared for a thousand years."
Yun Che: “…”
Three years ago, Feng Qianhui told him that the Bingyun Ancestor confirmed that the crime of the Eternal Night Royal Family was a deliberate and malicious frame-up by the Mighty Heavenly Sword Domain in order to obtain the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword. After the Eternal Night Royal Family was destroyed, the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword also disappeared, and it was very likely that it fell into the hands of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Domain.
However, this kind of holy land level matter, which was covered up by the Four Holy Lands… especially the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, was known so thoroughly by Bingyun Ancestor Mu Bingyun back then… Thinking about it carefully, it was quite incredible.
“And this Demon Sword Conference is because the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region does not want to monopolize the only Emperor’s weapon in the Profound Sky Continent, so it invites all the heroes in the world to gather in our Supreme Ocean Palace to learn the secrets of the magic sword.”
“Oh… I see.” Yun Che nodded slowly, and said with a faint smile: “I have heard for a long time that the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region regards the sword as the way, and they regard the sword as more than their life. They have spent their whole lives pursuing a stronger sword and a more extreme sword way. I didn’t expect that the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region would not keep the strongest sword in the world, the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword, for themselves, but instead made it public to the world, inviting all the heroes in the world to appreciate it. In order to show their sincerity, they even specially set the venue in the Supreme Ocean Palace instead of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. It is worthy of being the holy land of swords. Such a broad mind of generosity and selflessness really makes us young people admire it.”
Ji Qianrou could tell that Yun Che's words were clearly questioning Mighty Heavenly Sword Region's purpose, and there was also a hint of sarcasm. She narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, "Then little Cheche, don't let Mighty Heavenly Sword Region down. You must come when the time comes. If little Cheche really has no interest in the Devil Sword Conference, it would be great to let someone who is equally uninterested take you to enjoy the wonders of the sea."
“Then I would like to thank Senior Ji for his kindness.” Yun Che said with a smile. He was somewhat curious about the Devil Sword Conference, but he was not very interested. Especially after listening to Ji Qianrou’s description of the Devil Sword Conference, he immediately smelled the scent of some kind of conspiracy, so it would be better for him not to participate.
His main purpose of going to the Supreme Ocean Palace was the Netherworld Udumbara Flower!
As for the Devil Sword Conference… it was not certain whether he would go to the scene to take a look. After all, it was better for him to have as little contact with the Holy Land as possible. Because of the existence of his fictitious "master", even though Ye Xinghan hated him very much, and an elder and several guardians were buried in Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, Sun Moon Divine Palace did not dare to attack him… But the more contact he had with him, the easier it would be to reveal his flaws.
Once the so-called "master" is found out to be fake, the consequences will be disastrous.
And... the last two sentences Zi Ji said when he left the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce for the last time made him unable to help but be alert.
“Senior Ji, I am a little curious, which forces are eligible to be invited to participate in the Devil Sword Conference?” Yun Che asked.
"All forces and individuals with Xuanists at the Tyrant Xuan realm have sent invitations." Ji Qianrou said slowly: "Most of these forces or Xuanists are concentrated in the Divine Phoenix Empire, and there are very few in the other six countries."
“So, Divine Phoenix Sect will also participate?” Yun Che pondered for a moment.
"Haha, of course." Ji Qianrou laughed again, "Now the whole world knows that the Phoenix Sect gave Princess Snow to Xiao Cheche in order to calm her anger. If Xiao Cheche can bring Princess Snow with him, it would be great. With the invitation I just gave you, you can bring ninety-nine people with you."
“Oh, by the way, there is another person who also received a special invitation.” Ji Qianrou looked at Yun Che’s expression: “That person is also in Cangfeng Country. As for his name, you must be very familiar with it…”
"Fen Juechen."
“Him?” Yun Che’s brows twitched fiercely: “Why would you invite him?”
"Because he is more powerful than the current little Cheche." Ji Qianrou's eyes lit up with a strange light: "Ever since he appeared, the four holy places have always been very interested in him. He is almost as old as little Cheche."
"He was just a weakling in the Lingxuan realm, but after disappearing for two years, he possessed the power of the Junxuan realm. He is simply a freak that is even more frightening than Xiao Cheche. People are also very curious about him. Moreover, he accepted the invitation... So, Xiao Cheche must be careful when the time comes. Anyone who has investigated Fen Juechen knows that what he wants to do most is to kill you."
“Thank you, Senior Ji, for the reminder.” Yun Che smiled calmly, but doubts welled up in his heart… It was no surprise that the Four Sacred Grounds were interested in Fen Juechen, but with Fen Juechen’s personality, why would he be willing to participate in an inexplicable Devil Sword Conference?
"Okay, my mission is completed and I can go back now. But remember to come back after a hundred days." Ji Qianrou said, and she turned around and was about to leave with a flick of her long sleeves.
Yun Che stopped him and said, “Senior Ji, this should be your first time to come to Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. At least let me show some courtesy to you.”
"No need. I heard that Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace is full of women. Women are the most annoying thing. I am not interested in them at all. I am already very satisfied to be able to see Xiao Cheche."
With a wave of his hand, flower petals fluttered down from the sky, carrying Ji Qianrou's figure away, and soon disappeared in the vast snow.
After Ji Qianrou left, Yun Che did not return to Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace immediately, but stayed where he was, lost in deep thought for a long time.
The Demonic Sword Conference…The Eternal Night Royal Family…The Heavenly Sin Sword…The Heavenly Mighty Sword Domain!
"What are you thinking about?" Jasmine asked.
Yun Che raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully, “It is obvious that what Feng Qianhui said back then was correct. The Heavenly Sin Divine Sword that disappeared for a thousand years has been in the hands of Mighty Heavenly Sword Region for the past thousand years. If Mighty Heavenly Sword Region really just got the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword, it would never have been exposed.”
“And the reason why they took the initiative to expose the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword and held a Demon Sword Conference is most likely because the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region has spent more than a thousand years without finding a way to control the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword, and has also worn out its patience during this thousand years, so they invited the world’s strongest to gather together to explore its secrets.”
"There is another possibility." Jasmine said calmly: "That is that Tianwei Sword Region has found a way to unlock the secret of the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword, but it is beyond their ability to do so, so they gather more power in the name of the 'Devil Sword Conference'."
“That’s also possible.”
The death of Grandpa Yun Canghai and the Demon King, the tragedy of the Xiao family, the hatred of his parents, the hatred of the little Demon Queen... all have a great connection with the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. The demise of the Eternal Night Royal Family was also designed by the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region for its own selfish desires. Yun Che exhaled heavily and whispered, "I thought this Devil Sword Conference was convened by the Supreme Ocean Palace, so I didn't take it seriously. But since it originated from the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region... I have to be more careful."
Yun Che had only come into contact with Ling Kun from Mighty Heavenly Sword Region so far. And with all his experiences, the impression he had of Mighty Heavenly Sword Region was that they were dangerous, vicious, mean, ambitious, and unscrupulous.
“Hmph, we’ll know when we go and see. As for possible conspiracies or dangers…” Jasmine’s voice was full of contempt: “You don’t have to worry too much. Because by that time, the devil poison in my soul will have been completely purified! Not to mention a mere Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, even if it’s the so-called Four Sacred Grounds combined… I want them all to die in a snap!”
Yun Che: “…”
"It's the same if I want you to die!" Jasmine added this sentence very deliberately.
