Liuli looked around in surprise, only to see wisps of sharp, seven-colored sword energy floating around her. For some reason, she had already entered the seven-colored light.
Liuli slowly rotated the lotus platform beneath her feet, carefully observing the scene inside. Only when she saw the faint outline of a huge ancient sword through wisps of colorful sword energy did she stop rotating the lotus platform and slowly move towards that direction.
As the Lotus Platform of the Night moved forward, the surrounding seven-colored sword energy gently swirled around the platform and then quietly dissipated, just like walking in a mist. The further she went, the clearer the ancient sword became. Finally, she saw the ancient sword clearly and also saw a huge golden phantom sitting in mid-air, its right hand gripping the hilt of the ancient sword.
The illusory figure was a man, whose hair was casually tied back with a hairband. He was tall and burly, with strong features, thin lips, and his eyes were slowly opening above his straight nose.
Just as the glass stopped in front of him, the man opened his eyes, the light radiating from them arrogant and unrestrained.
Liuli looked the man up and down. She saw that he had his left leg bent and his right leg crossed. His left hand was casually placed on his knee, while his right hand was raised high and tightly gripped the hilt of the ancient sword. The tip of the ancient sword was pointing downwards and pierced into the light that seemed to be tangible, causing the tip of the sword to be hidden.
The man was already four or five zhang tall just sitting cross-legged, while Liuli stood on a lotus platform, floating in the air, about ten zhang away from him, watching his eyes that radiated a faint golden light warily.
As Liuli sized up the man, he was also sizing her up. After a moment of silence, the man chuckled softly. Perhaps because he hadn't spoken in a long time, his voice was a little hoarse as he whispered, "Little girl, did you obtain the divine stone?"
Liuli nodded and replied calmly, "Yes."
The man chuckled and continued, "Everyone knows that I have crafted the divine stone into the Imperial Seal of the State. Those who cultivate will inevitably face divine punishment for seizing the Emperor's treasure. Why are you not afraid?"
Upon hearing this, Liuli was convinced that the man was the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, and that the sword in his hand was undoubtedly the Xuanyuan Sword.
Before she could answer, the Yellow Emperor continued, "Do you believe that divine punishment will not come? Are you arrogantly unafraid of divine punishment? Or is it something else?"
Liuli lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment before replying, "For the sake of the blood feud of the entire clan, I need to make myself stronger. Therefore, I am not afraid of the possible divine punishment. After obtaining the divine stone, I wanted to refine it into a divine artifact, but I did not expect to obtain such a bead after refining the divine stone."
As she spoke, she opened her right hand and showed the man the colorful beads in her palm.
The Yellow Emperor looked at the bead and asked with a smile, "Have you avenged the death of your entire clan?"
Liuli shook her head and replied, "Not yet, but I don't want to report it now."
The Yellow Emperor continued, "If you don't want revenge, why have you come here?"
Liuli turned her gaze to the ancient sword in the man's hand and said calmly, "I need the Xuanyuan Sword in your hand to kill the person who wants to kill me."
"Is it Chi You?" the Yellow Emperor said softly. "I sensed his presence."
Liuli nodded and said, "That's right. You don't want Chi You to harm the world anymore, do you? Please give me the Xuanyuan Sword so I can kill him."
The Yellow Emperor shook his head and chuckled, “Only I can wield the Xuanyuan Sword. Others cannot withstand the malevolent energy emanating from it. If they use this sword for a short time, they might only suffer minor injuries. However, if this sword is used to completely kill Chi You, the malevolent energy will permeate the user's entire body, causing them to lose their mind, become possessed by demons, and become mad, knowing only how to kill. In order to prevent future trouble, I will use a wisp of my remnant soul attached to the sword to kill the user the moment Chi You is completely killed.”
The Yellow Emperor stared intently at the glass and asked deeply, "Even so, do you still intend to use this sword?"
Liuli's face changed. Whether she went mad from demonic possession or was killed by the Yellow Emperor, it was not what she wanted.
