Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 130, Deeds of the Emperor of Destruction

The Great Yan Kingdom is indeed quite small, a mere drop in the vast ocean that is the Celestial Realm. Here, spiritual power is sparse, cultivation techniques and martial skills are low-level, high-tier martial artists are rare. Many young martial artists who were once ambitious, after staying here for a long time, will gradually have their edges worn down!

But within the Secret Realm Palace, a middle-aged man in white could easily annihilate a world with a simple, unremarkable strike. Such power is what Chu Ming aspires to!

Following behind the Grand Elder, Chu Ming continued for another hundred meters until he reached a bookshelf.

The bookshelf was in disrepair, to the point where even the type of wood was unrecognizable, and the legs were crooked, causing it to lean slightly. There were not many books on it, but each one was quite ancient, with yellowed and curled pages!

Apart from the bookshelf, opposite it was a three-foot desk, on which there was a pen and a stack of paper, simple and clean.

The Grand Elder walked to the shelf, pulled out a blue-covered book, dusted it off, and handed it to Chu Ming. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

He said, "This is a top-tier Profound Level swordsmanship manual, ’Shadowless Sword.’ You don’t have to use contribution points to exchange for it; consider it an extra reward for your journey to the Celestial Flame Secret Realm!"

Chu Ming gently received the ’Shadowless Sword’ secret manual, did not look at it directly, but rather directed his gaze towards the dilapidated bookshelf.

However, he was not focused on the books but rather, using his peripheral vision, he subtly stared at the cold wall of the palace near the bookshelf!

With his extraordinary soul power, he felt an aura as vast as the ocean, sometimes like a great sun, sometimes like the deep sea, flowing gently along the wall. Chu Ming had sensed this aura once before, in the Treasure Pavilion of the Cyan Yang Sect!

If he was not mistaken, there should be a powerful Guiyuan Realm expert silently guarding the Cyan Yang Hall!

Not daring to look further, Chu Ming shifted his gaze, but it did not escape the notice of the Grand Elder Zhao Quanxuan. Naturally, he would not know nor even imagine that Chu Ming had detected the aura of the Guiyuan Realm ancestor, assuming only that Chu Ming was curious about the books on the shelf.

With a gentle smile that made people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze, the Grand Elder softly said, "You may stay here for three days, and in the meantime, study the ’Shadowless Sword’ manual, but remember, you may not take anything from here after three days!"

Chu Ming was startled but quickly understood the Grand Elder’s misunderstanding. Nonetheless, he could not reject the Grand Elder’s goodwill, so he respectfully replied, "Yes, sir!"

The Grand Elder nodded, his steps flickering, and he had already left the Cyan Yang Hall. In fact, this place could be considered a restricted area of the Cyan Yang Hall, and even the Grand Elder was not allowed to come here without permission!

The reason he had the privilege to let Chu Ming stay for three days this time was by the instruction of the Guiyuan Realm ancestor; he was merely executing the order.

After seeing the Grand Elder depart, Chu Ming gently walked to the desk, using a cloth to wipe off the dust, and slowly sat down, not daring to make any unusual movements!

He had a feeling that someone in the shadows was watching him. This sensation had been present since he entered the main hall, only now it was stronger!

Without a need to think, he understood that it must be the ancestor of the Cyan Yang Sect hiding in the dark!

At the top of the Cyan Yang Hall, in a loft.

To call it a loft would be more accurate to call it a room. The furnishings were simple: a meditation mat for cultivation and a small incense burner emitting white smoke that had a calming effect, with nothing else.

At this moment, an energetic elder sat on the mat, eyes closed and lowered. The speed of spiritual power flow around him quietly changed. His clothes were clean and white, his hair was graying, yet his face lacked any wrinkles.

At this moment, his gaze seemed to penetrate layers of walls, directly falling upon Chu Ming.

A flash of doubt appeared in the elder’s eyes as he muttered to himself, "Could he have discovered me?"

As soon as this thought arose, he immediately suppressed it because the idea was too ludicrous. A Transcendence Realm martial artist discovering the presence of a Guiyuan Realm expert had never been heard of on the continent!

The elder withdrew his gaze, no longer paying attention to Chu Ming, instead silently pondering his thoughts!

...

Whew!

Feeling the gaze resting on him fade away, only then did Chu Ming gently breathe a sigh of relief, feeling a sudden sense of a burden lifted from his shoulders!

Without immediately looking at the ’Shadowless Sword’ manual, he instead walked lightly to the dilapidated bookshelf. There were only a dozen or so books, but they recorded the distribution of powers and local customs across the continent!

Among them, there was a book that recorded the majestic history of the continent. In it, Chu Ming saw the introduction of the Emperor of Destruction!

After reading it, even with Chu Ming’s mental realm, he couldn’t help but take a breath, leaving only four words in his mind: "Unparalleled in history."

According to the records, the Emperor of Destruction, originally named Ye Changfeng, was not initially a martial artist. He was a scholar traveling to the capital for exams. By chance, he met a martial artist, and through their words, the mysterious world of martial artists slowly revealed itself to him.

Eventually, he apprenticed under the martial artist and began his cultivation journey. With extraordinary talent, his brilliance shone across the continent, making his contemporaries feel desolate. In just fifty years, he became the youngest Life and Death Realm King on the continent.

And within ten years, he ascended to emperorship, shaking the entire continent. His achievements could only be described as legendary, and the phrase "a late bloomer" suited him most appropriately!

In general, the best time for martial artists to cultivate is between the ages of fifteen to eighteen. During this period, the plasticity of martial artists is the strongest, capable of revealing their innate talent!

It’s not that martial artists can’t cultivate beyond the age of eighteen, but the obstacles they face will be more formidable, limiting their future achievements.

However, there are no absolutes in life. Among Heaven and Earth, there are some whose progress in early cultivation is extremely slow, showing little effect, but in the later stages, advancing in cultivation becomes as easy as eating or drinking. Such individuals often become late bloomers.

The Emperor of Destruction was likely one of those people!

Moreover, he utilized his talents to their fullest extent!

Slightly raising his head, looking at the dozen ancient yellowed books on the shelf, Chu Ming formulated a plan. He estimated that the Grand Elder saw through his intention to venture out for training and deliberately let him read here to gain some knowledge, preventing him from being clueless outside!

Like a whale drinking water, within a single day, Chu Ming had read every book on the shelf. A martial artist’s memory is incredibly powerful, not to mention Chu Ming’s soul power being extraordinary. This knowledge was imprinted in his mind, unable to be erased!

Through a day of reading, Chu Ming gained a simple understanding of the entire continent. For instance, next to the Great Yan Kingdom is the Celestial River Kingdom, and south of the Celestial River Kingdom lies an intermediate nation, the Qingyue Kingdom, which is the most powerful force within the span of ten thousand miles!
