Chapter 313: Identity
The Blue-Clad Elder appeared very suddenly. Among those present, apart from the Yuan Mansion Master, no one could clearly see how he arrived. Even Sun Zhe did not catch a glimpse, but no one dared to deny the old man's strength. Although he seemed quite ordinary, the overwhelming pressure contained within that ordinariness was evidently stronger than that of the Yuan Mansion Master.
"Disciple pays respects to Master, thank you for saving my life!"
The speaker was none other than Sun Zhe, who stood behind many Sword Corpse Guards and Nie Yuan. The person who suddenly appeared was none other than Sea Elder, who had once accepted Sun Zhe as his named disciple. This was the first time Sun Zhe truly recognized the real cultivation level of his master, which was at the peak of the late Divine Realm, just one step away from the Pinnacle of Divine Realm.
Among powerful beings of the same realm, there are distinctions in strength. For instance, both Yuan Mansion Master and Sea Elder are at the late Divine Realm, but there is no doubt that Yuan Mansion Master is absolutely no match for Sea Elder. At least Sea Elder's aura is stronger than that of Yuan Zun.
"The conditions I set back then have been fully met by you, so naturally you are my direct disciple. How could I neglect you?"
Sea Elder replied casually with a faint smile. He had initially proposed that if Sun Zhe could reach Thunder Emperor Realm within thirty years, he would take him as a disciple. He never expected that his disciple's growth would far exceed his expectations. Not only had Sun Zhe reached Thunder Emperor Realm, but he had even attained Saint Level Pinnacle, and Sea Elder could tell that his disciple's breakthrough to Divine Realm would not be too far off.
"Yuan, you may leave. For the sake of our past friendship, I can treat today's events as if they never happened!"
After finishing his words, Sea Elder suddenly turned to Yuan Mansion Master and spoke coldly. Although Sea Elder had been in seclusion at Qianyuan Lake since arriving at Thunder Continent and had not concerned himself with matters of Thunder Temple, this did not mean he was an easy-going person; he had a fearsome reputation in Ancient Times.
"Sea, you..." Yuan Mansion Master's voice faltered, and his expression immediately turned ugly as he glared at Sea Elder with anger in his eyes. If it weren't for Sea Elder's sudden intervention, the three Thunder God Swords would have already been in his possession. How could he not be furious? Yet unexpectedly, Sea Elder told him to leave.
"Yuan, have my thousand Reanimation Techniques been obtained?"
At that moment, a black flying ship suddenly flew over as if it had teleported. An old man cloaked in black robes appeared beside Yuan Mansion Master. Upon seeing this person's arrival, everyone present was taken aback again because the newcomer was also one of the three Masters of the Manor from Thunder Temple—Earth Spirit Palace Master!
He had long since made arrangements with Earth Spirit Palace Master to obtain Sun Zhe's thousand Reanimation Techniques while Yuan Mansion Master would take the three Thunder God Swords. That was why he had made such a grand show to attract Sea Elder's attention; they all knew that Sun Zhe was recently accepted as a disciple by Sea Elder.
This was originally an excellent plan, but Yuan Mansion Master had been somewhat overconfident and delayed by Sun Zhe repeatedly. They also underestimated Sea Elder's speed and never anticipated that he would arrive so quickly. Because of these reasons, Yuan Mansion Master not only failed to acquire his intended three Thunder God Swords but also missed out on Earth Spirit Palace Master's thousand Holy Rank Reanimation Techniques.
There was no need for Yuan Mansion Master to explain; upon seeing his expression and the tightly guarded Sun Zhe surrounded by numerous Sword Corpses, Earth Spirit Palace Master already understood the situation at hand. Especially when he noticed several Divine Realm Sword Corpses beside Sun Zhe, a terrifying light burst forth from his eyes. For someone like him who practiced the Law of Death, these Reanimation Techniques were more attractive than any divine artifact.
The two exchanged glances and nodded slightly. Even if Sea Elder were strong, he could not possibly be their match when they joined forces; after all, they were both masters of their respective domains and only slightly weaker than Sea Elder individually. Together they could naturally suppress him; as for anyone else present, they did not regard them at all.
"Sea, this should be my statement. For the sake of our past friendship, you may leave now and I can treat today's events as if they never happened!" With Earth Spirit Palace Master's assistance, Yuan Mansion Master's confidence surged instantly as he returned Sea Elder's words back to him.
"The sea is just a named disciple. If you want, you can choose from all the young talents of the Thunder Continent. Why must we ruin our years of harmony over this child?"
The Earth Spirit Palace Master stepped forward, his voice hoarse. The Great Yuan Sect was destroyed by Sun Zhe, and his disciple, the sect master Tu Hong, was also killed by Sun Zhe. What he wanted was not just the Reanimation Techniques in Sun Zhe's hands; he wanted Sun Zhe's life as well. This was not because Tu Hong had any particular fondness for it, but because he had to do something to show his other disciples.
"You two should first see what this is..."
Before the Sea Elder could get angry, Sun Zhe spoke up first.
In the midst of everyone's surprised gazes, Sun Zhe's right hand quickly began to form intricate hand seals. Mysterious techniques immediately flew out from his right hand. The Yuan Mansion Master and the Earth Spirit Palace Master became somewhat curious; they were not afraid of any secret techniques Sun Zhe might use. In front of them, they did not believe that Sun Zhe could escape.
In just a moment, Sun Zhe had formed hundreds of hand seal marks, each floating in the Void. With his right hand, he brought his index and middle fingers together and pointed at the Void. The countless symbols suspended in the half-Void instantly converged towards this center.
"Contract, seal!"
With a low shout, these mysterious symbols merged together in an instant, forming a large gray character. Upon closer inspection, it was an ancient character for "Jun," emanating a dense Sword Qi. A strange power radiated from it; although it did not have a shocking pressure, it carried a fierce intent.
"Sword Sovereign..."
The three of them, who had survived since Ancient Times, naturally recognized the unique Sword Sovereign seal of the Blade Domain. This seal had always been mastered only by the Sword Sovereigns throughout history. Thus, the implication was clear: Sun Zhe was the Sword Sovereign of the Blade Domain, which instantly clarified everything.
"Haha... good disciple, indeed remarkable!"
Seeing the formation of this seal, the Sea Elder burst into laughter. What kind of existence was the Blade Domain? Only old beings like them truly understood that even ten Thunder Temples combined could not match a Blade Domain. Faced with the overwhelmingly powerful Blade Domain, even Pinnacle of Divine Realm Super Strong Beings would tremble in fear; let alone Yuan Mansion Master and Earth Spirit Palace Master.
"Yuan and Earth Spirit, do you have anything else to say? If you are not afraid of that supreme existence from the Blade Domain, then go ahead and act now..."
The Calculation Technique of the Blade Domain's Old Domain Master could calculate all earthly matters and was renowned alongside Daoism's Nine Palaces Calculation Technique as one of the two great divine Calculation Techniques. If they wanted to investigate something, there were very few things on earth that could escape their notice. If Sun Zhe fell on Thunder Continent, it would not be long before countless powerful beings from Blade Domain descended upon it, leaving Yuan and Earth Spirit with no place to bury themselves.
However, Yuan Mansion Master and Earth Spirit Palace Master wore grim expressions; although they did not show it outwardly, their hearts were filled with regret. At their level of cultivation, they naturally understood that there were some existences on the continent that should not be provoked—such as Blade Domain—an existence that even hundreds like them could not contend with.
Meanwhile, members from the three major sects stood dumbfounded at what was unfolding before them. Especially with each successive twist in events; although they did not recognize Sun Zhe's final Sword Sovereign seal, they understood that this mark was definitely extraordinary. Otherwise, the Sea Elder would not laugh so boldly, nor would Yuan Mansion Master and Earth Spirit Palace Master look so grim.
Looking at the man standing proudly in mid-air without changing expression, Zhuang Ruoxuan's eyes became slightly dazed. She couldn't help but recall once again that resolute figure from years ago in Northern Mang Secret Realm. The two figures seemed to slowly merge together; however, she found that she no longer recognized this fused figure.
Some things, once changed, can never be recognized again...
"Sigh..."
At that moment, a long sigh echoed in the Void, followed by a hunched old man with a head full of white hair slowly emerging from the Void. He leaned on a cane, taking one painstaking step after another, as if each step was incredibly difficult. He coughed as he walked, giving off an impression of someone on the verge of decay.
"You people can't even let this old bone of mine have some peace..."
Looking at Yuan Mansion Master and Earth Spirit Palace Master before him, he scolded them without any politeness. However, in the face of this old man's reprimand, neither Yuan Mansion Master nor Earth Spirit Palace Master dared to say anything. Sun Zhe turned around and noticed that his master, Sea Elder, also wore a serious expression.
"This is the Master of the Manor of Shalor Mansion, the esteemed figure of the Three Houses—Withered Old Man. He is also a Super Strong Being who has reached the Pinnacle of Divine Realm!" Sea Elder's voice rang in Sun Zhe's ears, causing his heart to leap in shock. A Super Strong Being at the Pinnacle of Divine Realm could be compared to someone like Xing.
As if he had heard Sea Elder's transmission, Withered Old Man cast an intentional glance at Sea Elder before turning to Sun Zhe. A faint smile creased his withered face as he spoke,
"Thunder Continent welcomes the arrival of Sword Sovereign..."
(To be continued.)
