Xiao Chusheng carefully sensed it and indeed did not detect any master’s mark within the longsword.
A stream of Spiritual Power was injected into the longsword.
However, the Spiritual Power vanished without a trace, as if it were a stone sinking into the sea, with the Mystic Sword showing no reaction.
Not even a glimmer of light.
Shen Xing exclaimed in surprise, "What an unusual sword!"
He was not a Sword Dao Practitioner, but he could tell that this sword was not ordinary.
"Young Master Xiao, this sword is quite peculiar; it cannot be activated with Spiritual Power!"
Shen Xing said with a surprised face: "I remember, you can activate it, right?"
Now, Xiao Chusheng was completely certain.
He had not expected that the sword his adoptive father had been searching for would be in Ling Chen’s hands.
And that Ling Chen was actually capable of controlling it!
"This sword is indeed very peculiar. It seems not to be an Emperor Spiritual Weapon, but the material should be superior to that of an Emperor Spiritual Weapon. Ling Chen’s skills are truly remarkable; even such a sword can be controlled, Xiao admires you!"
Xiao Chusheng returned the Mystic Sword to Ling Chen.
Now, he had confirmed the whereabouts of the Mystic Sword.
He just needed to find an excuse to get it in the future.
At the moment, since they had just become acquainted, it was naturally inconvenient to ask.
Moreover, he still needed to find out the Magic Skill to control this sword from Ling Chen’s mouth.
Presumably, his adoptive father would value him even more.
Perhaps he could even let him join the colossal power behind his adoptive father.
And soar to great heights from then on!
Ling Chen put away the Mystic Sword and smiled, "I also found out about it by chance. Young Master Xiao, do you also practice Sword Dao?"
Xiao Chusheng nodded and said, "The sword is the king of weapons; I have been interested in swords since I was young, and I always like to take a look at particularly unique ones. Young Master Ling need not worry, I am not in the habit of coveting what others love."
Ling Chen said: "I am afraid Young Master Xiao wouldn’t fancy it, right?"
While the three of them were chatting and laughing, the battle between Liu Xiao and Ye Tianjun also came to an end.
The outcome was as expected.
Ye Tianjun was defeated and was thrown over by Liu Xiao like a dead dog.
"Ling Chen, his cultivation has been sealed by me, how to deal with him, I leave it to you!"
Liu Xiao said with a smile.
It was with the help of Ling Chen that he had won the position of Domain Lord and defeated Ye Tianjun.
Naturally, he wanted to leave the mastermind behind Ling Chen’s persecution to Ling Chen to deal with.
"Liu Xiao, kill or flay, it is all up to your honor. Handing me over to that cur Ling Chen, what do you mean by this?"
Ye Tianjun glared at Ling Chen.
Dying at the hands of Liu Xiao, he had no regrets.
Because he was not as skilled!
But, being humiliated by Ling Chen was too much. Original content can be found at novel~fire~net
His son Ye Fentian had died at the hands of Ling Chen.
Not only had he failed to avenge his son, but he was now also going to be disposed of by his enemy, and it was a great shame!
"Merely a defeated subordinate, you have no right to bargain!"
Liu Xiao said disdainfully.
Ye Tianjun spat towards Ling Chen.
A stream of Spiritual Power emerged and blocked the spit.
"I killed your son, are you dissatisfied?"
"So what if you are dissatisfied? You too shall die at my hands, I will send you to reunite with your son right away!"
Ling Chen said with a smile.
A burst of Green Lotus Sword Qi blasted out, piercing Ye Tianjun’s skull directly.
Sect Master of the Burning Flame Sect, former East Domain Lord, Ye Tianjun, dead!
"From today onward, there shall be no more Burning Flame Sect, those who dare proclaim themselves as such, will be killed without mercy!"
Liu Xiao declared loudly.
"Third Guardian, make a trip to the Burning Flame Sect. Tell those people to leave the Burning Flame Sect immediately. Those who dare to stay, will be killed without mercy!"
Liu Xiao looked towards a two-star Emperor.
"Yes, Pavilion Master!"
The two-star Emperor heeded the command and departed.
Now, nearly all Emperors of the Burning Flame Sect had been slaughtered.
A single Emperor was enough to walk horizontally throughout the Burning Flame Sect.
Although the Burning Flame Sect possessed the Sect Protection Array, it all depended on who was in charge of the array!
If the one commanding the array was an Emperor from the Palace Mansion Realm, they simply couldn’t withstand a single strike from a two-star Emperor!
"Young Master Xiao, now that the matter is resolved, shall we return to the Star Pavilion?" Liu Xiao looked to Xiao Chusheng and said.
"Good!" Xiao Chusheng nodded. "I want to see just what kind of remarkable place it is that could have nurtured someone as talented as Ling Chen."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiao smiled slightly.
His expectations were indeed not wrong.
Once Ling Chen revealed his strength, he was bound to gain Young Master Xiao’s regard.
Meanwhile, the news of Liu Xiao’s victory in the struggle for the role of Domain Lord quickly spread throughout the entire Eastern Domain.
This news wasn’t particularly shocking.
What was even more astonishing was that Liu Xiao led the Star Pavilion Cultivators to capture all the Emperors from the Burning Flame Sect in one fell swoop!
Only then did everyone realize that the Eastern Domain had truly changed.
Soon after, everyone returned to the Star Pavilion.
Xiao Chusheng personally presided over the award ceremony.
Thereafter, Liu Xiao started to handle the affairs of the Eastern Domain.
Now that the Burning Flame Sect had been decimated, there was still a big pile of issues waiting for him to address in the Eastern Domain!
Firstly, Liu Xiao dispatched six people to take over the positions of the six Commanders arranged by the former Burning Flame Sect.
The original Commanders were all Cultivators at the pinnacle of the nine layers of the Palace Mansion Realm.
However, those sent by Liu Xiao were six Emperors, who effortlessly took over the control of the six Commanders.
As for the former Commanders, Liu Xiao did not immediately exterminate them; instead, he had them assist with managing various affairs.
Secondly, Liu Xiao issued a notice calling for talented individuals.
At the same time, he reinstated the previously abandoned talent selection process.
He decided to hold a minor selection every three years and a major one every ten years.
Those who performed outstandingly would have the chance to directly enter the main pavilion of the Star Pavilion for Cultivation.
Now, the Star Pavilion had established branches in every province.
Each branch was led by a Pavilion Master who was also one of the Commanders.
The branches were responsible for the minor selections every three years.
The main pavilion managed the major selection every ten years.
One by one, orders were issued and carried out, and the Eastern Domain gradually stabilized.
To soothe the public’s heart, Liu Xiao decided to grant a general pardon to all disciples who previously belonged to the nine sects of the Burning Flame Sect.
Soon enough, Liu Xiao became the true Eastern Domain Master.
Different from the former Sect Master of the Burning Flame Sect, Ye Tianjun, Liu Xiao was a legitimate Domain Lord!
Moreover, Ye Tianjun was only a Domain Lord in name, while the Star Pavilion’s nine great sects and the Burning Flame Sect were equals in power.
Now, the entire Eastern Domain was dominated solely by the Star Pavilion.
It could be said to have unified the Eastern Domain.
Patrol Envoy Xiao Chusheng stayed in the Star Pavilion for some time before leaving.
Before his departure, he gave Ling Chen a Token.
The Token bore the two characters "Renjie" (Personage).
This was the Personage Commandment!
The talents of Qing Province were divided into four levels.
The fourth level, which is the lowest, is called Genius.
The third level is known as Personage!
The second level is referred to as Pride!
And the first level, is called Heavenly Pride!
As a Patrol Envoy like Xiao Chusheng, he was only qualified to issue the Personage Token.
As for the Pride Token and the Heavenly Pride Token, only more powerful figures held the qualification to issue them.
With the Personage Token in hand, Ling Chen was qualified to participate in the Qing Province Heavenly Pride Ranking that would take place in two years.
The Qing Province Heavenly Pride Ranking is a list that all geniuses from Qing Province proudly vie to ascend.
It is said that those ranked in the top hundred have the opportunity to obtain greater fortunes, and it may even be possible to enter the cultivation holy land of the Central Province to cultivate.
Shen Xing is not from Qing Province.
Therefore, he cannot participate in the competition for the Qing Province Heavenly Pride Ranking.
However, he does not care.
After all, he is a genius from Central Province!
As for other Cultivators, obtaining eligibility for the Heavenly Pride Ranking is not impossible.
Several months later, the State Governor Mansion will send representatives to work with the Domain Lords of each domain to confirm eligibility.
As long as the proper conditions are met, a Genius Token can be obtained.
Likewise, there will be a chance to be ranked among the Qing Province Heavenly Pride Ranking.
