Nine Realms Sword Emperor

Chapter 1979: Chapter 1982: Infiltrating the Sacrificial Lake

Time and again, teetering between life and death, one misstep, and there would be no chance of redemption.

Reborn after disaster, breaking before establishing anew.

This Heavenly Human calamity, although fraught with danger, ultimately provided Chu Fengmian the opportunity to ascend his Life Sword Origin, truly breaking through the realm.

It could be said that misfortune led to fortune.

Chu Fengmian has experienced countless battles of life and death, each breakthrough in realm perilous beyond measure, yet this time, the danger surpassed every previous instance.

Truly, within the nine deaths and one life, he found that last glimmer of life.

"Young Master, even when facing a Heavenly Human realm expert, you are now no less formidable. Such strength is truly a myth throughout the ages."

The Mad Dragon Emperor just reacted, expressing admiration.

Chu Fengmian’s achievements now are akin to legendary geniuses and Demons, enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with figures like Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable.

Especially now, Chu Fengmian’s most terrifying aspect isn’t his current strength but his future.

Chu Fengmian’s mastery in Sword Dao is sublime, almost comprehending the Sword Dao Origin; he also survived an extraordinary calamity, merging his body with Tai Chu’s aura, becoming a celestial anomaly.

It can be said that Chu Fengmian’s future achievements might surpass Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable.

"Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable achieved immortal venerablehood and was thus termed a myth, yet if he had perished midway, he would remain obscure."

Chu Fengmian couldn’t help but sigh.

In history, geniuses and Demons rivaling Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable surely existed, but if they fell midway, no records would remain.

Any Demon prodigy, if fallen midway, would be forgotten within ten thousand years.

Only by becoming a peerless mighty figure can one’s name be eternally remembered.

Chu Fengmian’s master, the Sword Dao Master, was an Immortal Emperor of his generation, yet still fell.

Compared to the Sword Dao Master, Chu Fengmian’s strength is but a slightly larger ant; Chu Fengmian understands that the vastness of the world is far beyond imagination.

Arriving in the Canghai Star Domain has opened Chu Fengmian’s eyes; the Daluo Heavenly Star Domain, compared to the Canghai Star Domain, is just a small place.

Above the Canghai Star Domain are three great sacred domains, which are vastly superior to the Canghai Star Domain by hundreds, even thousands of times. Chu Fengmian, if not witnessing it firsthand, cannot imagine their prowess.

But now, Chu Fengmian has stepped into the half-step Heavenly Human Realm, his strength barreling towards Heavenly Human Realm, even venturing into the three great sacred domains would mean having some measure of strength.

Even in the three great sacred domains, Heavenly Human realm experts are extraordinarily rare.

"Lan Ming is dead, what are your plans?"

Chu Fengmian suddenly looked at the Sea Princess, speaking.

This time, the Sea Princess came to the Canghai Star Domain to bring Chu Fengmian over to kill Lan Ming; now that Lan Ming is dead, the Sea Princess has no necessity to stay in the Canghai Star Domain.

The Sea Princess’s entire Xuan Whale bloodline is too conspicuous in the Canghai Star Domain; especially now, the Sea Princess’s Xuan Whale bloodline is awakening fully, already difficult to suppress.

Staying in the Canghai Star Domain would pose immense danger.

"We plan to leave the Canghai Star Domain and return to the Daluo Heavenly Star Domain."

The Sea Princess considered for a moment, then replied.

The once-blue family has already perished; the present Canghai Star Domain holds little to keep her.

As for Master Qiyang, he will follow the Sea Princess, serving her.

"Returning to the Daluo Heavenly Star Domain is feasible, but it’s too dangerous for you two to act rashly. Dragon Emperor, will you help escort them back?"

Chu Fengmian addressed the Mad Dragon Emperor.

"Rest assured, Young Master, I will escort them both back to the Daluo Heavenly Star Domain."

The Mad Dragon Emperor readily agreed, for him, this was a task requiring little effort.

"Young Master, are you not planning to leave?"

The Sea Princess glanced at Chu Fengmian, hesitated, then asked.

She also knew that Chu Fengmian had established his Sword Dao Sect power in the Daluo Heavenly Star Domain, and it wasn’t possible for Chu Fengmian to stay long in the Canghai Star Domain.

"I’m staying in the Canghai Star Domain, there are still some matters to tend to. This time, I came to the Canghai Star Domain; although my realm has broken through, the tasks remain incomplete."

Chu Fengmian spoke.

He came to the Canghai Star Domain with the first aim of collecting Immortal Stones to break through to half-step Heavenly Human Realm.

This goal Chu Fengmian has now achieved.

The second aim was to fulfill a promise to the Sea Princess by slaying Lan Ming, which has also been accomplished.

But the third aim, acquiring large amounts of Glazed Pure Water, Chu Fengmian hasn’t completed yet.

To dissolve the demonic intent of the Taichu Sword Body and Blood Evil Demon Emperor’s heart, large amounts of Glazed Pure Water are necessary; Chu Fengmian must infiltrate the Sacrificial Lake within the Sea Sacrifice Sect to have a chance to obtain vast quantities of Glazed Pure Water.

Chu Fengmian’s design to kill Lan Ming was firstly to assist the Sea Princess with her promise and secondly to leverage Lan Ming’s identity to infiltrate the Sacrificial Lake.

Lan Ming, being a Sacrificial Pavilion elder, was one of the few qualified to enter the Sacrificial Lake.

With Lan Ming dead, Chu Fengmian can now disguise himself as Lan Ming to enter the Sacrificial Lake and capture the Glazed Pure Water.

This is a perfect opportunity to obtain Glazed Pure Water, and Chu Fengmian certainly won’t miss it.

"We shall part ways here."

Chu Fengmian glanced at the group, his figure flashing, then headed towards the Sea Sacrifice Sect, simultaneously transforming into Lan Ming’s appearance.

All of Lan Ming’s power and cultivated techniques are primarily based on the Xuan Whale bloodline; for outsiders to impersonate Lan Ming is nearly impossible.

After all, obtaining a full Xuan Whale bloodline is practically unattainable; Lan Ming nearly eradicated the Lan family disciples to seize such a bloodline.

However, Chu Fengmian devoured Lan Ming’s essence blood, integrating the Xuan Whale bloodline into his own, making no difference in power with the real Lan Ming.

Chu Fengmian concealed all remaining strength in his body, revealing only the Xuan Whale bloodline, coupled with his breakthrough in realm and altered appearance, even a Heavenly Human realm expert might find it hard to notice.

Not even the Heavenly Human realm ancestor of the Sea Sacrifice Sect could discern the difference between Chu Fengmian and Lan Ming.

Chu Fengmian’s figure flickered repeatedly, and within half a day, he returned to the Sea Sacrifice Sect.

Assuming the identity of Lan Ming, an elder of the Sea Sacrifice Sect, returning to the sect left nearly no one daring to inquire or scrutinize his identity.

Upon returning to the Sea Sacrifice Sect, Chu Fengmian bypassed the Sacrificial Pavilion and flew directly to the Divine Temple at the heart of the lake.

Although the Sacrificial Pavilion contains treasures, its items of value have long been taken by Lan Ming. With Lan Ming’s Space Ring acquired by Chu Fengmian, the treasure of the Sacrificial Pavilion was at best expendable.

The Glazed Pure Water within the Sacrificial Lake is what Chu Fengmian most requires now.
