Chapter 61: The Most Powerful Legendary Sword
“That’s true. Sword God will surely win this Sword Conference.”
Zhang Ruyu nodded as he spoke, looking at Zhou Xuanji with admiration.
After he heard that Zhou Xuanji woke up earlier than all of them that day when they were drunk, he admired Zhou Xuanji all the more.
They couldn’t even beat Sword God Zhou at drinking.
He was surely better than everyone else in every way.
“When will the Sword Conference start? What are the rules?” Zhou Xuanji asked.
Zhou Chengxin looked at him and replied with a smile, “Once every five years, the Swordsman City’s Sword Conference is the focus of much attention in Great Zhou. These were all high officials and wealthy people, as well as cultivators from every specialization. The time for preparation takes a long while, it will take at least three months.”
“About the rules, only Xie Wuyou knows.”
Three months?
Zhou Xuanji frowned slightly because the wait was too long.
Great Zhou’s Heaven Selection was drawing near after all. It would begin in less than a year.
He hesitated suddenly. Should he wait for another decade?
But if he were to wait for another decade, the people would forget about Lady Zhao Xuan, and Zhou Yalong would have taken over the throne.
Once Zhou Yalong became the emperor and if he were to assassinate the Empress of Great Zhou, it would make him an enemy of the entire Great Zhou.
But now…
Emperor Yan of Zhou was on the throne, and Zhou Yalong was merely the Prince that he cared most about. If Zhou Xuanji were to reveal his talents, the Emperor might even cover up for him.
The reason why Emperor Yan of Zhou would hand over his throne was only because he had reached the highest stage of cultivation and was going to ascend and become an immortal.
Great Zhou could not function without someone at the lead.
Seeing Zhou Xuanji’s frown, Zhou Chengxin asked, “Could it be that you have something important to do?”
“Nothing. I can wait,” Zhou Xuanji shook his head and said.
Zhou Chengxin heard and smiled. “I’m planning to build up popularity for you. What do you think?” He suggested.
Fame could not be built up just by relying on word of mouth, some times it required some tricks.
As a member of the royal family, he knew what to do.
The benevolence and righteousness of the royal clan were all manufactured with strategy.
“Is there really a need for this? ” Zhou Xuanji replied.
But in his heart, he was delighted. Little older brother, you are really thoughtful.
Zhou Chengxin nodded and said admirably, “I cannot compare with the uprightness of the Sword God. ”
Hello!
* I’m just being polite to you!*
Although Zhou Xuanji was smiling, he cursed and swore at Zhou Chengxin in his heart. Where is your EQ now?
How can you compete for the throne if you are like this?
Zhou Chengxin continued the conversation for a while longer but did not mention anything about creating popularity for Zhou Xuanji again and Zhou Xuanji lost his interest in the conversation.
Having noticed this, Zhou Chengxin did not bother them further and soon left.
Zhou Xuanji brought Little Jiang Xue back to their room.
“Is this guy dumb or what! ”
Little Jiang Xue covered her mouth and chuckled. “Who asked you to pretend to be upright?” She said.
Zhou Xuanji shrugged his shoulders helplessly and began cultivating on the bed.
In the next three months, Zhou Xuanji made good use of the time to train. He had numerous extraordinary supplements in his Supreme Storage, together with the Sword Qi Golden Body Incantation, his cultivation progressed tremendously.
Every 10 days he would bring Little Jiang Xue out to play. The girl was only 15, after all, and was full of curiosity about the world.
At the same time, details about Sword God Zhou’s Sword Conference evaluation spread openly somehow.
He learned an Advanced Tier sword technique of Black Grade in a short time!
All kinds of rumors that were extremely exaggerated were spread widely.
Within a month, Sword God Zhou became famous within Great Zhou’s border. Many said that he would be a formidable competitor of Zhaocong Sword and North Zhou Gale Sword.
After Zhou Xuanji heard about this, he sighed in exclamation. Zhou Chengxin was thoughtful after all.
Little older brother, you have a bright future!
Zhang Tianjian and his sons were thrilled when they heard about the rumors spreading fiercely outside.
They heard that the gambling stores had already opened for betting on who would win.
Zhou Xuanji took a handful of Spirit Stones for Northern Valiant Sword to bet, at the same time, he asked Zhou Chengxin to find a reliable gambling store.
And bet everything on him winning!
It’s okay if he was not sure that he would win. One would only win if one was willing to take the risk!
3 months passed quickly.
Zhou Xuanji broke through to Enlightening Level 3 with the help of the supplements.
The small black snake often exclaimed that he was not a human!
He must have been some old monster’s reincarnation.
This day…
The Sword Spirit’s voice sounded off in Zhou Xuanji’s mind.
“Bloodbath Sword upgrade complete, from Silver to Gold! ”
Gold?
Zhou Xuanji was somewhat disappointed. Why could it not be upgraded to Amethyst?
Information of Bloodbath Sword appeared before his eyes:
Sword Name: Bloodbath Sword
Grade: Gold
Description: A sword that drinks blood. The more blood it takes in, the stronger its bale aura. At the same time, it will enhance the sword owner’s killing aura. Its power also increases as the battle goes on.
…
Hmm?
* Its power increases as the battle go on?*
Zhou Xuanji noticed this piece of valuable information and asked in his mind.
“Bloodbath Sword has been upgraded to the top level of Gold Grade. During the battle, as it absorbs more blood, it will boost the sword owner’s power. But when the battle is over, the sword owner’s power will once again resume its original state. If the sword owner is not hurt, then there will be no side effects.”
The Sword Spirit’s answer made Zhou Xuanji’s eyes glisten.
If so, then the Bloodbath Sword was like a killing machine on the battlefield!
With this, the Bloodbath Sword would become his most powerful legendary sword!
He immediately took out the Bloodbath Sword. The length of its blood-colored blade had increased significantly, with lines of patterns at the center that looked like black snakes. It looked terrifying.
With the Bloodbath Sword out, the entire room was filled with killing aura. Even Little Jiang Xue, who was training, was in shock.
She looked at the Bloodbath Sword in his hand and asked, “This is… Bloodbath Sword?”
She could not help but remember the curved blade that Zhou Xuanji took from the Blood-Drinking Blade.
Zhou Xuanji nodded as he stroked the Bloodbath Sword. “This will be the sword I use for revenge,” he said.
Little Jiang Xue walked up to him and asked worrisomely, “Is it dangerous?”
The feeling that the Bloodbath Sword gave her was like the blood-colored blade.
It was too evil!
She was worried that Zhou Xuanji would lose his mind to evil because of the sword.
Just like those who lusted after power and lost their mind, which she heard from the legends.
“Don’t worry. This sword does not pose any danger to me. My physique is different, I’m specialized in suppressing evil aura!” He said with a smile.
He began boasting shamelessly.
“Really?”
Little Jiang Xue was half convinced.
At this moment, the Three-Eyed Drought Rodent dragged the small black snake over.
The snake looked at the Bloodbath Sword with its eyes wide open and said, “What an awesome killing sword! How did this sword come about? If the evil sects knew about it, it would surely bring carnage. ”
Zhou Xuanji glanced at him and said, “Sword God’s sword. What do you think?”
The small snake cursed in his heart. Do you think I don’t know?
You are just an ignorant kid!
* Are you really acting like you’ve convinced yourself?*
* Do you really think that you are a Sword God?*
* Wait until my awakening, I will surely…*
* Escape!*
Zhou Xuanji stored the Bloodbath Sword into the Supreme Storage and said to Little Jiang Xue, “How was that spell we bought last time? Do you want to buy another one?”
Little Jiang Xue was talented in spells of the Five Elements. Zhou Xuanji would buy some spellbooks for her each time he went outside.
Right now, she had already mastered the basic Elemental Spells of Fire, Wind, and Water.
Together with the healing spell, she had always been practicing and she was already well on the path to becoming a Spell Caster and Healer.
Little Jiang Xue nodded and raised her chin. “I think I’m already pretty strong. During sparring, sister Lianxin has a hard time trying to close in on me,” she said proudly.
