Chapter 1030 -62: Obtaining a Rare Treasure! The Great Emperor is Furious and Nearly Collapses (Seeking Monthly Votes)_3
“Hello, young friends,” the sword introduced itself before Old Yao could, its blade quivering with enthusiasm, “I am called Ever-Victorious, a powerful Divine Magical Sword. I see that Thousand Autumn has had the chance to find an owner, so why not choose me, choose me? I assure you, I will lead my master to victory in every battle.”
“Hehe~” Old Yao said with a smile, “Ever-Victorious is indeed a formidable Divine Magical Sword and indeed has a tendency to lead its master to victory. However, there have been concerns regarding this sword. It has had seven recorded owners, and not one of them met a good end. His Majesty has started to suspect whether it might actually be a Demonic Artifact masquerading as a Divine Ability Spirit Sword.”
“Old Yao, don’t slander me,” Ever-Victorious said indignantly, “It’s precisely because of such nonsense from people like you that I have not been chosen yet. Let me tell you, they just had bad luck, each time missing out on a smidgen of fortune at the critical moment, and that has nothing to do with me.”
Wang Anye and Wu Xue Ning exchanged glances and, as if by unspoken agreement, kept their distance from Ever-Victorious.
The fact that all seven previous owners of the sword met untimely ends was indeed spine-chilling. Even if they had no other options, and even if they had no Divine Spiritual Treasures to use, they would absolutely not choose Ever-Victorious.
As for that Divine Magical Sword with a Blank Artifact Spirit, it wasn’t much to look at. Although it also had notable power, without an Artifact Spirit to assist in controlling it, it was still somewhat inferior.
Moreover, another critical point was that without the aid of an Artifact Spirit, even a Great Heavenly Proud would find it nigh impossible to use a Divine Spiritual Treasure in the Heavenly Human Realm. At the very least, one would need to reach the Purple Abode Realm to barely manage it.
Then, there was only one Divine Spiritual Treasure left.
It was a blade.
A blade as white as snow, pure and bright as if carved from fresh snowfall.
Its form was slender and elegant, radiating beauty, with every curve seemingly sculpted by a master artist, irresistibly drawing the gaze of onlookers.
Emblazoned on the blade’s back were intricate golden inscriptions that looked as if they were meticulously embellished. They merged perfectly with the temperament of the blade, creating an impression of icy brilliance and crystal-clear purity.
The stand that held the blade was situated far from the other Divine Spiritual Treasures, as if standing alone in its own world. Even separated by a small seal, one could feel the cold aloofness and rejection emanating from it.
“This one is Zhanxue,” Old Yao said, his words taking on a more solemn tone, “It was the personal weapon of Princess Qingluo, a shame… ah~~ If only you knew, Princess Qingluo had unmatched talent and could have potentially set foot in the Void Realm as one of the world’s best.”
So it was Princess Qingluo’s legacy weapon.
Since his fiancee Wu Yiluo was a descendant of Princess Qingluo and her consort, Wang Anye couldn’t help but take a few more glances at it.
Unexpectedly, these few glances seemed provocative to the blade. The snowy blade shimmered as if offended, and a surge of piercing coldness burst through the small seal, charging straight toward Wang Anye.
It made him shiver, and he stumbled back several steps.
“Zhanxue, calm your anger. Young Master Anye is still young, and he didn’t know you dislike being stared at by men,” Old Yao hurriedly stepped forward, shielding Wang Anye. “Besides, he is Little Princess Yiluo’s betrothed. Please don’t hold it against him.”
The coldness “observed” Wang Anye for a moment, as if accepting Old Yao’s explanation, and gradually receded, falling silent once again.
“What a beautiful blade. Once I score full marks, I must ask great-grandfather to let me have Zhanxue,” Wu Xue Ning’s eyes shimmered with longing, “Zhanxue, Zhanxue, our names both contain ‘Xue’; we’re truly fated.”
Wang Anye cast her an odd look, bluntly commented, “They call it Zhanxue, and the emphasis is on the ‘Zhan’ part.”
Wu Xue Ning’s face suddenly fell, and she glared at Wang Anye with a pout, “You’re just trying to annoy me so that you can keep Zhanxue for Wu Yiluo, aren’t you?” 𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
“Little Princess Xue Ning, you may not be aware,” Old Yao spoke up, “Zhanxue’s temperament is rather… peculiar, and it will only accept female descendants of Princess Qingluo as its masters. His Majesty has already decided to bestow Zhanxue upon Little Princess Yiluo for her protection when she grows a little older.”
“Then what about me?” Wu Xue Ning suddenly felt bewildered, “Of the remaining four Divine Spiritual Treasures, three are maniacs, and one is a fool. Do I choose the maniac or the fool?”
“Choose me, choose me, choose me,” Ever-Victorious’s blade quivered from afar, calling out, “Little Princess, don’t listen to those rumors outside. Choose me, and I guarantee I’ll take you to new heights.”
Wu Xue Ning turned a deaf ear to its pleas, sighing, “If it comes to it, I’ll just take that Divine Magical Sword with the Blank Artifact Spirit, and I can cultivate the Artifact Spirit over time.”
As for the other three Divine Spiritual Treasures, she had no interest in them whatsoever.
After this tour, Wang Anye had indeed learned quite a bit, but still felt a slight disappointment, and couldn’t help but look around and inquire, “Eunuch Yao, senior, I’ve heard that the Imperial Household has an ‘Azure Dragon Sword’, a Dao-level Item from the legends. Why is it not here?”
“You silly boy, the Azure Dragon Sword is a National-Treasure Talisman, how could it be in the Divine Soldier Hall?” Old Yao chuckled, “It is personally managed by His Majesty himself and is not showcased lightly due to its importance. If you truly wish to see it, you’ll have to wait until An Commandery Prince ascends to the role, accepts the Azure Dragon Sword’s legacy, then you can ask him. After all, he is your future father-in-law; he might be more amenable.”
