NOVPUB"I said I wouldn’t help, so why are you still standing here?" Xu Zimei frowned and said.
"Have you ever heard of the legend of the True Divine Sword," the little girl fell silent for a while before finally lifting her head to ask.
"I have," Xu Zimei nodded and replied.
Legend has it that between heaven and earth, a Divine Sword was once born.
Someone wielded the Divine Sword to split the heavens and divide the earth, eventually pointing the sword at the firmament and cutting out a brand new era.
Since then, that Divine Sword shattered, breaking into five pieces scattered in various parts of the world. 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Although this legend is somewhat ancient, it also has its exaggerated parts.
But in recent eras, there indeed have been fragments of the Divine Sword that have appeared.
Causing a whirlwind of blood and carnage.
......
"Why are you telling me all this?" Xu Zimei asked with interest.
"The people of the Thousand Swords Sect are looking for me, all because of the matter of the Divine Sword fragments," the little girl replied.
"So what about it? I’m not interested in the affairs of the Divine Sword, and I don’t want to intervene in the matters of the Thousand Swords Sect," Xu Zimei replied.
Hearing Xu Zimei’s words, the little girl’s expression subtly changed.
She hadn’t expected Xu Zimei to refuse so decisively.
After another pause, the little girl finally sighed and said, "Actually, I am one of the fragments of the Divine Sword."
"I thought you were going to continue hiding it?" Xu Zimei laughed and said.
"Did you see through it all along?" the little girl asked in surprise.
"No, I just realized that you’re not a living being," Xu Zimei replied.
"Can you help me now?" the little girl tentatively asked.
"I’ve already said, the world hustles and bustles; everyone comes for benefit, and everyone scrambles for benefit," Xu Zimei replied.
"If you can give me compensation, I would naturally help you."
"I am one of the five fragments of the Divine Sword, and as long as I am within a certain range, I can sense the other fragments."
The little girl said, "I can help you assemble the True Divine Sword."
"Then why wouldn’t you help the people of the Thousand Swords Sect, and instead tell me this news," Xu Zimei asked.
"Because they don’t actually want to assemble the True Divine Sword," the little girl hurriedly said.
"They only want to capture me and melt me down, then condense me alone into a Divine Sword."
"Alright, then stay by my side," Xu Zimei nodded and said.
"Really?" the little girl asked with some surprise.
"Let’s set a deadline, within three years help me assemble the True Divine Sword, if you can’t assemble it by then, I’ll have no choice but to melt you down," Xu Zimei said.
"Okay," the little girl pondered for a moment and finally nodded.
......
The night outside the window grew deeper and deeper, the pale moonlight was almost hidden in the dark clouds.
Xu Zimei sat with closed eyes pondering, while the little girl seeing that Xu Zimei had no intention of sending her away,
sat by herself on the chair in the room, and laying on the table, fell asleep.
Inside his body, Xu Zimei was entering the River of Fate with the Chaos Pearl.
He wanted to see that part of the sealed history regarding the True Divine Sword.
After all, the current legends are not entirely trustworthy.
......
The Mythical Era was divided into several periods.
First, it was ended by the War God, putting an end to the Twilight of the Gods.
Since then, monsters ruled the land, and everything was under Suppression.
At the end of the Mythical Era.
It was rumored that a peculiar place called Flower Valley appeared on the continent.
In this peculiar place lived a person.
There were diverse rumors about this individual.
Some said they were a Monster Beast transformed, some said they were a reincarnation of a flower monster, and others said they were an Elf born from heaven and raised by earth.
But what’s undeniable is that this person left behind their own legend during the era of Wild Desolation.
As if the sun was vast, spanning the entire firmament.
Just like how the True Martial Great Emperor once created an entire golden age, bringing a dawn to the Era of Emperors.
There came a day when the flowers of Flower Valley withered.
A man walked out of Flower Valley, bearing the Divine Sword in his hand, and pierced a hole in the heavens.
No one understood how he came to possess such formidable strength.
It was but a floriculturist who suppressed that great era.
The monsters were driven into the Form Blood Space and were sealed away.
After that, the Mythical Era ended, the Monster Race flourished, and an unprecedented era of Wild Desolation descended.
The man established the Heavenly Palace and from then ruled over the entire era of Wild Desolation.
Until one day, he suddenly disappeared, and his weapon, the True Divine Sword, also shattered into several pieces, scattering across the continent.
As for the Heavenly Palace he built, it sealed itself off.
Ever since then, legends remained in the world.
He who could gather the fragments of the Divine Sword could open the Heavenly Palace and obtain the inheritance of the True God.
Thus becoming the leader of a new era.
......
Xu Zimei awoke from the River of Fate, slowly exhaling a breath.
He looked up to find the little girl fast asleep on the table.
He got out of bed, gently opening the door.
It was already dawn, with the pale light of dawn about to rise in the east.
The inn’s servant was wiping down the tables downstairs.
"Did anyone come by last night?" Xu Zimei inquired.
"Guest," the servant hastily responded, saying, "Last night, disciples from the Thousand Swords Sect came searching."
"They didn’t come to my room?" Xu Zimei asked.
"No, they asked me to take good care of you," replied the servant.
Xu Zimei nodded.
He had the servant prepare some breakfast, and by morning, the little girl had also awoken from her sleep.
......
"What’s your name?" Xu Zimei inquired.
"Qing Ling," the little girl replied, sipping her porridge.
At that moment, a large group of disciples from the Thousand Swords Sect burst in.
The one leading them was none other than Qian Renchi.
"Sect Master, it’s her," a disciple beside him hastily said.
Qian Renchi slightly furrowed his brow, and upon seeing Xu Zimei seated to the side, his expression changed.
"If it isn’t Young Master Qian, how come we meet again," Xu Zimei said with a smile.
"Have you eaten? Would you like some?"
"No need, no need," Qian Renchi hastily shook his head, hesitantly looking at Qing Ling, and said, "May I know who this lady is?"
"This is my sister. What’s the matter? Is there something you need?" Xu Zimei asked, frowning.
"Nothing, nothing, I was just checking in," Qian Renchi hastily said.
"Then I won’t disturb Young Master Xu from his meal."
With a wave of his hand, he led all the disciples of the Thousand Swords Sect out of the inn.
Seeing this scene, Qing Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you," she whispered to Xu Zimei.
"Remember, you only have three years. I must obtain the True Divine Sword," Xu Zimei said indifferently while eating.
......
Meanwhile, outside the inn, Qian Renchi walked out with all his disciples.
Someone asked, "Sect Leader, what should we do now?"
"How should I know what to do?" Qian Renchi replied indifferently.
"Shall we spread this news, stir the waters even muddier?" someone suggested.
"He’s leaving the Shenghua Domain in a few days; it’s useless," Qian Renchi shook his head, deep in thought.
"Better to leave a good impression than a net that can’t capture the fish."
Seven days flashed by, and after the Mo Family had set up the Teleportation Array, Xu Zimei formally began his journey, departing from Shenghua Domain.
