Yuan Zhexian then said to Yuan Yan'er, "Yan'er, prepare a room for Wangchuan. Wangchuan and I are going to the ancestral land now."
Yuan Ruochu was instantly shocked. She had only been to the ancestral land once since birth. Xiao Wangchuan was able to enter the ancestral land so soon after arriving in the Yuan clan. What an incredible blessing!
After Yuan Zhexian finished speaking, he waved a golden light at Xiaowangchuan and then disappeared from the spot.
The ancestral home of the Yuan dynasty.
At this moment, the Eighth Ancestor, the Ninth Ancestor, Yuan Xun, and Yuan Changsheng of the Yuan Clan were already waiting for Yuan Zhexian. Then, a golden light flashed in front of the four of them, and the figures of Yuan Zhexian and Xiao Wangchuan appeared before them.
Xiao Wangchuan was quite curious about the ancestral land of the forbidden family, which was his first time visiting. Looking at the extremely rich spiritual energy, the neatly arranged ice coffins emanating a terrifying aura from the depths, and the rare and precious materials everywhere, he was so shocked that he was speechless.
"Greetings, Eighth Ancestor, Ninth Ancestor. Grandfather, Father." Yuan Zhexian bowed slightly and said.
Seeing this, Xiao Wangchuan also bowed at a ninety-degree angle and said, "Greetings, Eighth Ancestor, Ninth Ancestor, Supreme Elder, Clan Head."
Upon seeing this, the Eighth Ancestor exclaimed in admiration, "What a promising sword cultivator! His talent is already comparable to that of an innate sword physique. Immortal, your follower is quite remarkable."
"Not only that, this child is also a descendant of Sword Casting Mountain. Back then, Sword Casting Mountain and our clan had a good relationship, but it's a pity," Ninth Ancestor said regretfully.
Yuan Changsheng asked, puzzled, "What exactly is the banished immortal doing?"
"Father, do you still remember the ancient sword you gave me?" Yuan Zhexian asked.
“I remember. It’s just a Great Sacred Weapon.” Yuan Changsheng said immediately.
"Yes, it's this ancient sword. It's the culprit that caused Sword Forging Mountain to become what it is today," Yuan Zhexian explained.
"What?" Eighth Ancestor, Ninth Ancestor, Yuan Xun and Yuan Changsheng all exclaimed in disbelief.
Immortal Yuan then took out the ancient sword, and the Eighth Ancestor grabbed at the air, and the ancient sword immediately appeared in the Eighth Ancestor's hand.
He then said, "This sword is somewhat strange; it contains a seal. Over countless years, the seal has loosened, which is why this sword has reached the level of a Great Saint Weapon."
"Oh! I'll give it a try," Jiuzu casually picked up the ancient sword. He then poured all his spiritual power into the sword, but no matter how much he poured in, it was as if the stone had sunk into the sea, with no reaction whatsoever.
"Huh! This is really strange. With my cultivation at the ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, I can't break this seal. Even the seal of an Emperor can be broken by me. This is really strange." Ninth Ancestor said in confusion.
"Ninth Ancestor, this ancient sword isn't an Emperor Weapon, but a quasi-Immortal Artifact. If it had withstood the Heavenly Punishment that descended from Heaven back then, this ancient sword should have been the first Immortal Artifact forged after the sealing of the Flying Immortal Platform." As soon as Yuan Zhexian uttered these words, apart from Xiao Wangchuan, the Eighth Ancestor, the Ninth Ancestor, Yuan Xun, and Yuan Changsheng all gaped open, staring at the ancient sword in disbelief.
"Immortal, you're saying this ancient sword is actually a quasi-immortal artifact?" Yuan Changsheng asked, still incredulous. He had brought this ancient sword back because he liked it, and eventually bestowed it upon his son. He never imagined that such an unremarkable ancient sword would actually be a quasi-immortal artifact.
Then Yuan Zhexian had Xiaowangchuan tell the four of their history of Zhujian Mountain again.
After listening, the Ninth Ancestor said, "I think that cave should be the place where the two mythical emperors sealed this ancient sword. As time passed, the seal slowly loosened, and the sealed place collapsed, which is why Changsheng found the ancient sword later."
"So what should we do with this ancient sword now?" Yuan Xun asked immediately.
At this moment, Xiao Wangchuan stepped forward, bowed to the four people, and said, "Seniors, I would like to try and see if I can break this seal."
The Ninth Ancestor asked curiously, "Little guy, how do you plan to break this seal?"
Xiao Wangchuan replied, "Although there are only two of us left in Sword Casting Mountain, countless cultivation techniques left behind by Sword Casting Mountain have been preserved. Among them are two inherited techniques of Sword Casting Mountain, Creation Soul Infusion Scripture and Feathered Sword Scripture. Since our ancestors left a seal, I would like to see if we can use the power of these two cultivation techniques to break the seal."
Seeing that Xiao Wangchuan said so, the group decided to give it a try and handed the ancient sword to him.
Holding the ancient sword, Xiao Wangchuan's aura surged as he activated the Creation and Soul-Giving Power of the Creation and Soul-Giving Scripture. Suddenly, golden light emanated from his body, and he continuously poured all his spiritual power into the ancient sword.
Then the ancient sword slowly began to transform, and the originally rusty blade slowly returned to its golden appearance, emitting bursts of golden light.
Everyone was astonished by what they saw. Xiao Wangchuan was covered in sweat, having poured all his spiritual energy into the ancient sword. The blade had now been restored to its previous state, but the hilt was still covered in rust.
Seeing this, the Ninth Ancestor waved his hand, and the rich spiritual energy of the ancestral land surged wildly into Xiao Wangchuan's body. Xiao Wangchuan's originally exhausted spiritual energy was instantly restored to its original state, and his cultivation level also advanced to the ninth level of the Dao Body Realm.
Seeing this, Xiao Wangchuan didn't waste any words and once again activated the sword power of the Feathered Sword Manual, causing his body to emit a white light. Then, the white light slowly entered the ancient sword from his body. Gradually, the originally rusty hilt transformed into an exquisitely crafted silver-white hilt.
"boom".
As the ancient sword suddenly unsealed, slowly releasing its terrifying power, the Ninth Ancestor immediately rushed to Xiao Wangchuan's side. He then placed a palm behind Xiao Wangchuan, who promptly threw the ancient sword into the void. His entire body emitted a powerful light that blocked the terrifying power emanating from the ancient sword. Then, the Ninth Ancestor waved his hand and pushed Xiao Wangchuan to the Eighth Ancestor's side.
At this moment, the Eighth Patriarch unleashed a terrifying power that instantly enveloped Yuan Zhexian and Xiao Wangchuan.
"Boom, boom."
The ancient sword flew straight to the void of the ancestral land, emitting a golden light, and then a world-destroying power erupted from its blade. Upon seeing this, the Eight Ancestors also unleashed an equally world-destroying power to meet it.
Two world-destroying forces collided in the ancestral land, the resulting powerful impact instantly forcing Yuan Xun and Yuan Changsheng to retreat. Yuan Xun was desperately struggling to hold on, unleashing all his spiritual power, while Yuan Changsheng fared even worse; a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Yuan Xun tried his best to move towards Yuan Changsheng's location, but the terrifying impact force hindered his progress.
Because the Ninth Ancestor was currently protecting Yuan Changsheng and the other two, he hadn't had time to observe the surrounding situation. Upon seeing that Yuan Changsheng was injured, his spiritual power surged, and he grabbed at Yuan Changsheng in mid-air. Yuan Changsheng quickly flew to the Ninth Ancestor's side, and the Ninth Ancestor then strengthened his energy shield to protect the three of them.
After the terrifying power unleashed by the Eight Ancestors and the ancient sword collided, the ancient sword remained motionless in the void, its terrifying power continuing to increase. The Eight Ancestors, too, were blasted back several hundred meters by the impact of the two forces.
Seeing this, the Ninth Ancestor was also very surprised and exclaimed repeatedly, "Impossible! How could Eighth Brother be at a disadvantage with his strength? Just how terrifying is the power of this ancient sword?"
