Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1111: Chapter 894: The Sword Emperor’s Gift

"Wait a moment!"

The three of Su Yuan were about to set off when a figure swiftly flew over from the mountain—it was Nie Wu!

"As expected, he still came." Su Yuan’s eyes flickered slightly as he looked up.

Nie Wu flew to the front of the three, first bowing to Fu Chaosheng, "Congratulations to Brother Fu...Fu Sword Venerable, for stepping into the King Level realm."

Fu Chaosheng nodded slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Nie, what brings you here?"

"I’m here to find Junior Sister Mu." Nie Wu turned his head to look at Mu Kexian and stepped forward, "Junior Sister, thanks to Fu Sword Venerable, you managed to break through Chongyang, but it’s been a while. Isn’t it time you returned to the sect with me?"

Mu Kexian calmly said, "Senior Brother Nie, whether I return to the sect or wherever I go is none of your concern. Please step aside and don’t block our way."

Nie Wu grew anxious and tried to persuade her, "Junior Sister..."

"Move aside!" Mu Kexian’s voice turned icy as she suddenly raised the longsword in her hand.

Nie Wu hurriedly stepped back two paces, his face filled with astonishment and disbelief.

"Junior Sister, I am your Senior Brother Nie!"

A trace of murderous intent rose in Mu Kexian’s eyes, "I told you to move aside, or you will no longer be my senior brother."

Ordinarily, it wouldn’t matter, but at this moment, in Mu Kexian’s eyes, Nie Wu was merely obstructing her from being with Su Yuan.

Especially since Su Yuan had only just agreed with great difficulty!

Nie Wu sensed the killing intent in Mu Kexian’s eyes, his complexion turned pale, and his heart like being cut with a knife!

Afterwards, Nie Wu’s expression suddenly turned gloomy as he turned to look at Su Yuan beside him, "Is it because of him, Junior Sister? Have you fallen in love with this kid!?"

Su Yuan raised an eyebrow, now being dragged into it?

But the next moment, Mu Kexian spoke calmly and firmly, "Yes!"

Nie Wu was stunned. He never expected Mu Kexian would actually speak up, and without a moment’s hesitation.

Su Yuan, upon hearing Mu Kexian’s straightforward and resolute words, couldn’t help but feel a slight tremor in his heart too.

The scene fell into a brief silence.

Soon after, Nie Wu glared intensely at Su Yuan, his eyes visibly bloodshot.

The Junior Sister Mu he pursued so earnestly, who always kept her distance and never smiled, had actually fallen in love with this stranger in front of her?

Nie Wu felt as if he had been struck hard, the pain in his heart beyond words, envy, anger, resentment... various emotions uncontrollably surfaced in his eyes!

"Enough!"

Then, Fu Chaosheng gave a low shout, and the pressure of a King Level immediately pulled Nie Wu back from his lapse, though his eyes still betrayed a bit of lostness.

Fu Chaosheng frowned and said, "Nie Wu, if you have nothing else, we need to be on our way."

Nie Wu looked somewhat dazed at Fu Chaosheng, then finally fixed his gaze on Mu Kexian.

"Junior Sister..."

However, with a shift, Mu Kexian had already flown out first, not sparing a glance at him.

Seeing this, Su Yuan and Fu Chaosheng immediately followed suit.

Glancing back at Nie Wu, sensing his hostility, a hint of danger flashed in Su Yuan’s eyes.

But at the moment, in front of Fu Chaosheng and Mu Kexian, it wasn’t appropriate to act.

After a brief ponder, Su Yuan shook his head and withdrew his gaze...

Many days later, at the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect.

Fu Chaosheng returned as a king, and the sect had long received the news, naturally having many affairs to handle.

But this did not concern Su Yuan.

In a secluded hall on Moyun Peak.

Sword lights flickered as Su Yuan and Mu Kexian were practicing swordsmanship against each other.

Since he brought Mu Kexian along, Su Yuan didn’t intentionally neglect her.

Just as well, both had recently advanced, providing an opportunity for great exchange in cultivation.

"Clang!"

Another sound of longswords clashing, as Mu Kexian defended against the Demon Saber Su Yuan cleaved out of thin air with Infinite Power, causing her to stagger back several steps.

"Therefore, when facing an opponent with keen senses, it’s not difficult to defend when prepared in advance." Su Yuan contemplated aloud.

Of course, the Infinite Sword Slash’s suddenness was just an added effect, it primarily aimed to strike any place at a thought’s command!

Seeing Mu Kexian once again engage with One Qi to Three Pure Ones sword in hand, Su Yuan drew out the Glazed Tianqing with his left hand.

Simply standing in place and swinging both swords, sword lights continuously rained in front of Mu Kexian and the Three Pure Ones’ Avatar, preventing them from approaching!

After a fierce exchange, Su Yuan broke through the Three Pure Ones’ Avatar, then crossed his swords and directly sent Mu Kexian flying back!

Su Yuan, with his Three Suns Realm, Perfect Breathing, and A-grade Talent... was naturally much stronger than Mu Kexian.

"Ugh!"

Mu Kexian let out a muffled groan, blood and breath surging in her chest.

"Are you alright?" Su Yuan halted his attack and asked.

"I’m fine."

Mu Kexian reached to her chest to calm the surging blood and breath quickly.

Just then, a Spirit Light flew in from outside the door, revealing a Radiant Moon Level elder with a lean face arriving at the entrance.

The lean-faced elder looked at Su Yuan and said, "Senior Su, please come with me to the main peak, Fu Sword Venerable invites you."

In the Southern Continent’s cultivation world, seniority is determined by cultivation.

Even though Su Yuan appeared very young, the lean-faced elder still addressed him as Senior.

Su Yuan nodded slightly, "It seems Brother Fu has finished handling his affairs."

Su Yuan turned to Mu Kexian beside him, "Fellow Daoist Mu, please stay here for now."

"Mm." Mu Kexian sheathed her longsword, crossing her hands in front of her, "I will wait for you here."

Su Yuan nodded, then said to the lean-faced elder, "Please lead the way."

Thus, the lean-faced elder led Su Yuan as they flew towards the main peak.

Meanwhile, Mu Kexian stood gracefully in place, watching until the silhouette in the sky disappeared, then finally withdrew her gaze.

...

Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect Main Peak, in front of a great hall.

"Senior Su, I will lead you here, Fu Sword Venerable is inside." The thin-faced elder said respectfully.

"Good, thank you for your trouble."

Su Yuan responded and then stepped into the great hall.

Inside the hall, there were three people, besides Fu Chaosheng, there was also Linghu Sword Venerable, whom Su Yuan had met when he first arrived at the Ten Thousand Sword Heavenly Sect, and...

"Emperor Ye!"

Seeing Ye Feihong seated in the main seat, Su Yuan’s eyes focused, and he immediately stepped forward to salute: "Greetings to Emperor Ye!"

He never expected that Emperor Ye would personally come.

Being Emperor Level was already the pinnacle on the Blue Sea Star, and such experts typically would not easily appear in front of people.

To know, Su Yuan had been in the Sky Patrol Department for so long, and only because of the Hongmeng Realm did he meet the Spirit Emperor once.

Whether it was the number of times seen or words spoken, it was still not as many as Emperor Ye.

Ye Feihong smiled and said, "Little guy, long time no see. I didn’t expect you to bring such a big gift to my Divine Sect upon your arrival!"

Su Yuan respectfully said, "Emperor Ye overpraises, I only did it to be able to advance to Three Suns."

Linghu Yao, standing to the side, sized up Su Yuan and exclaimed, "The last time I saw you, you were still at Shining Star Level, and in just ten years, you have already broken through to Three Suns. This cultivation speed is truly astonishing!"

When it came to this, Fu Chaosheng was also amazed: "Brother Su, I didn’t expect you to cultivate so quickly! When Emperor Ye just mentioned it to me, I couldn’t believe it!"

It was only just before Su Yuan arrived, during the chat among the three, that Fu Chaosheng learned about Su Yuan’s past joining of the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect and... Su Yuan’s terrifyingly fast cultivation speed!

"Seniors overpraise." Su Yuan said politely.

Ye Feihong got straight to the point: "I won’t say much nonsense. Su Yuan, you were also a Guest Elder of my Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect.

Now that you have assisted Chaosheng in refining the first dragon vein of Earth Tribulation, reaching King Level, and have made such a great contribution, naturally there must be rewards.

I already have a reward prepared for you here."

Su Yuan’s eyes lit up, silently thinking it had arrived.

Then Ye Feihong flipped his hand, and a purple box appeared on the table.

"Come, the items for you are all inside."

All?

Su Yuan felt a slight movement in his heart; it seemed there was more than one treasure.

He stepped forward and took the box with both hands. As soon as he opened it, a Purple Gold Token was in view, alongside a golden Star Card, and at the bottom... there was an ancient array map.

"Hmm?" Su Yuan was quite surprised.

The first two items were expected, but the final array map was somewhat unexpected for Su Yuan.

Su Yuan picked up the token, which was similar to the Golden Sword Token but appeared more prestigious.

Without needing Ye Feihong to speak, Fu Chaosheng glanced at the token in surprise and explained to Su Yuan:

"This is the Purple Gold Sword Order, the highest status below King Level in my Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect, also a King Level candidate sequence.

Holding this token, you can command the disciples of the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect like a Sword Master and enjoy treatment, privileges, etc., second only to a Sword Master.

Currently, only Junior Brother Dugu holds this token..."

King Level candidate sequence.

It means that if there is a vacancy for a King Level in the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect, there will be a priority for an opportunity to promote to King Level.

Of course, ordinarily, the King Level candidate does not have much effect because King Level individuals can live for three to four thousand years, far beyond the lifespan of a Burning Sun.

But now, in the midst of a disaster, with dragon veins occurring frequently... it is quite useful.

Although Su Yuan is about to return to the East Continent, this token could be a safeguard for Su Yuan as well.

The status and honor it represents need no further mention, after all, even Fu Chaosheng did not obtain the Purple Gold Sword Order!

Emperor Ye said, "No need to extract essence blood, just use the original Golden Sword Token to touch it."

Su Yuan responded and took out the Golden Sword Token to touch it, seeing the purple-gold light flow and completely activate it.

Su Yuan put away the Purple Gold Sword Order, set down the dimmed Golden Sword Token, and then picked up the Legendary Star Card to examine it.

But upon seeing it, Su Yuan was quite surprised.

"Upper Pure Sword Control True Technique?"

This Star Card was named [Upper Pure Sword Control True Technique], and its sword control was divine, capable of controlling multiple swords, each significantly enhancing power.

Upon a brief examination, Su Yuan realized this was the complete version of the Upper Pure Sword Technique, one of the five core cultivation techniques of the Taishang Sect!

Previously, Hao Lingyun of the Taishang Sect had used this sword technique to charge and fight among the experts of the Three Great Demon Sects.

Yet, Hao Lingyun had not cultivated this technique to a profound level, falling short by a few degrees.

This technique, as one of the five core cultivation techniques of the Taishang Sect, is undeniably powerful and strong.

However, Su Yuan was quite puzzled, for the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect had Independent Sword, Will Sword, and Sword Transformation three branches.

Unexpectedly, they eventually gave him the core cultivation technique of the Taishang Sect?

Seemingly sensing Su Yuan’s confusion, Ye Feihong slowly explained, "Actually, my Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect and the Taishang Sect have quite a connection.

[Upper Pure Sword Control True Technique] was originally the cultivation technique of our founding ancestor, but later, due to some reasons, it was entrusted to the Taishang Sect to manage.

Our founding ancestor established the three branches of Independent Sword, Will Sword, and Sword Transformation to explore more possibilities and limits in the Sword Dao.

[Upper Pure Sword Control True Technique] is easy to learn but difficult to master, and the available copies in our sect have become few; today, I entrust it to you."

After briefly thinking, Su Yuan suppressed his thoughts; such matters involving the ancient founding ancestors are far too distant from him, and overthinking would be futile.

However, [Upper Pure Sword Control True Technique] allows control of up to four swords. Originally, he had two Pseudo Saint Artifacts, and he had just obtained the Yin Yang Flowing Light, making it quite suitable.

Even without the Yin Yang Flowing Light, with the continued entanglement, he could manifest the Black and Red Dual Swords, equally enabling use.

"Thank you, Emperor Ye, for clarifying."

Su Yuan responded respectfully and finally picked up the array map to examine it.

As Su Yuan picked up the array map, Linghu Yao beside him slightly widened his eyes.

"Emperor Ye actually gave him this map!" Linghu Yao’s heart tightened.

And Su Yuan picked up the ancient array map and explored it with his spirit...
