But this is of such great significance that it's a game-changer, not just in the world of martial arts, but even in the world of fantasy.
But now is not the time to think about these things.
Su Chen quickly calmed himself down, scanned the entire room, and slowly said:
"The Ancient Heavenly Emperor Sword broke into four pieces during its forging."
"After being passed down for thousands of years, these four fragments were forged into four swords for the emperor."
"One of them, named the Heaven-Slaying Sword, was obtained by Xiao Yi, who was just a general. He used it to fight in all directions and established the Beili Dynasty."
"It is currently stored on the fourth floor of the No. 1 Building in Tianqi City, Beili."
"The second sword is called the Heavenly Questioning Sword. When Ying Zheng was a hostage in the State of Zhao, he obtained it by chance when he returned to the country. He wore it on his body and eventually achieved a great hegemony."
"Now, in the Qin Dynasty, it is ruled by Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng."
"The third one is called the Longquan Sword, also known as the Seven Star Longyuan Sword. It was acquired by Emperor Taizong of Tang three hundred years ago. He used it to quell a rebellion and restore the country. Later, it became famous and all nations paid tribute to it."
"Now, in the Tang Dynasty, it belongs to Li Xingyun, a descendant of the Tang Dynasty."
"This fourth sword is called the Crimson Sky Sword, and it is the only one of the four Emperor's Swords that has never shown its power."
"Because this sword was accidentally mixed with ten-thousand-year-old frost during its forging, its sword energy is contained and it looks quite ordinary."
"Only by using the blood of a thousand-year-old white snake to sharpen it can the chilling aura be removed, allowing it to once again display the might of the Emperor's Sword."
"Now, in the Qin Dynasty, it belongs to Liu Bang, the head of the Sishui Pavilion in Pei County."
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, the hall erupted in another uproar.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh at this moment:
What a terrifying Emperor's Sword!
Apart from the Crimson Sky Sword, which has been largely overlooked, the other three Emperor Swords have all shone brightly.
Xiao Yi started from the very bottom and founded an empire with the Heaven-Slaying Sword.
As a hostage, Ying Zheng seized the throne with the Tianwen Sword, eventually conquering the six kingdoms and achieving great power.
Emperor Taizong of Tang, as a prince, took up the Longquan sword to restore the country, sent troops to all directions, made the surrounding countries bow down and pay tribute to him, and welcomed the worship of all nations.
They came from different backgrounds, but once they obtained the Emperor's Sword, they all soared to great heights and achieved remarkable success.
Xiao Yi built a dynasty from scratch.
Ying Zheng, on the other hand, transformed the originally weak Qin state into one of the strongest dynasties today, starting from a weak state.
Emperor Taizong of Tang single-handedly restored the shattered Tang Dynasty to an unprecedented golden age, causing all the countries under heaven to submit, pay tribute, and rule the nine provinces for more than three hundred years.
It wasn't until the great chaos of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods that the Tang Dynasty began to show signs of collapse.
Contrary to popular belief, it did not swiftly subdue the surrounding countries and become a truly powerful and influential nation.
On the contrary, because there were always people within the organization plotting against them, they were almost wiped out.
Although Empress Wu Zetian later stepped forward and suppressed the rebellion, stabilizing the situation.
But the glorious days of the Tang Dynasty are gone forever.
Chapter 39 is absolutely not to be missed.
During the chaotic Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the three states of Qin, Beimang, and Liyang emerged rapidly, occupying territory everywhere, and their influence was no less than that of the Tang Dynasty.
Among these excited people, the most thrilled were the martial arts masters from the Tang and Qin dynasties.
Back in the chaotic Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, all the powerful states took the opportunity to attack other countries in order to expand their own territories.
The Tang Dynasty was so weak that it couldn't even handle internal rebellions.
Once Wu Zetian became empress and quelled all the rebellions, the great chaos of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods was over.
From a certain perspective, the Tang Dynasty was quite lucky.
Because at the beginning of the chaotic Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, those powerful states were busy occupying territory and had no time to pay attention to the Tang Dynasty, giving Wu Zetian enough time to quell the rebellion.
But looking at the results, the Tang Dynasty was in a terrible state.
Not only did they miss a great opportunity to become a powerful and influential figure, but more seriously, in that chaotic rebellion, almost all members of the Li Tang royal family were killed. In the end, only Empress Wu Zetian could become emperor in order to stabilize the people's hearts.
Now Su Chen jumps out and says that the Li Tang royal family actually did not die out, and there is still an orphan wandering among the people named Li Xingyun.
Moreover, this guy is holding the Longquan sword that Emperor Taizong of Tang used to rebuild the country!
If this news were to reach the Tang Dynasty, the commotion would be nothing short of earth-shattering.
Over the years, many factions in the Tang Dynasty had become accustomed to the emperor's surname being Wu.
However, many people still keep thinking about the Li Tang imperial family.
Originally, the Li Tang dynasty had no descendants, so the conflict wasn't very obvious.
Li Xingyun's sudden appearance was like throwing a bomb, capable of igniting all the internal conflicts within the Tang Dynasty.
As everyone can imagine, the martial arts world of the Tang Dynasty is about to descend into chaos again, and Li Xingyun will undoubtedly become the center of all the storms.
As for the martial arts masters of the Qin Dynasty, they were also extremely shocked.
The domineering nature of Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, has long been deeply ingrained in people's minds, and he is even called by many people the strongest and most powerful figure in thousands of years.
Even knowing that the Heavenly Question Sword was in his possession, no one dared to covet it.
But at the same time, the last Emperor's Sword—the Crimson Sky Sword, which had never shown its edge—also fell into the hands of the Great Qin.
This is quite interesting.
The principle that there can be no two suns in the sky and no two rulers in a country is something even a three-year-old child knows.
Although the Crimson Sky Sword has been buried in the dust for a thousand years, and may continue to be buried, who dares to bet on that?
Perhaps Liu Bang was chosen by God, and he was able to find the blood of the thousand-year-old white snake to sharpen it.
By then, the Qin Dynasty will have two Emperor's Swords.
This means that the Qin Dynasty, which Ying Zheng had conquered, could collapse at any time.
After a brief silence, the hall erupted in chatter as countless martial arts heroes began to discuss the matter.
"My God! I never thought there really was such a thing as the Emperor's Sword. As long as you get your hands on it, you can establish a country."
"So, fate is a real thing. The Emperor's Sword contains the fate of the emperor. Whoever gets it can become emperor."
"Hahaha, Ying Zheng is going to be in a panic this time. Besides his Heavenly Question Sword, a second Emperor's Sword has appeared in the Qin Imperial Palace."
"This Crimson Sky Sword has been buried in the dust for a long time. It won't be easy to sharpen it again. Where can we find a thousand-year-old white snake?"
"I don't know about the others, but Liu Bang, the head of the Sishui Pavilion in Pei County, is definitely not going to live. Regardless of whether the Chixiao Sword can be sharpened, Ying Zheng will definitely not let him go."
“That’s right. If I were Ying Zheng, I would definitely kill Liu Bang immediately and then take the Chixiao Sword. Only then would I feel at ease.”
"Let alone Ying Zheng, I think Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty should also be nervous. The Li Tang dynasty still has descendants, and her position as emperor may be shaken."
"Wu Zetian was empress for so many years, and the court was full of her confidants. It won't be so easy to make her abdicate."
"That's right! Although Li Xingyun is a descendant of the Li Tang dynasty, it is still unknown whether he can return to Chang'an alive."
"The Celestial Immortal is truly a Celestial Immortal; with just a few words, he has thrown the two strongest nations into chaos."
It's in the fourth private room on the south side of the fourteenth floor.
An elderly man with white hair stared wide-eyed, his voice trembling as he said, "He's gone mad! He's gone mad! The Emperor's Sword contains the destiny of the Emperor. How dare he reveal such a heavenly secret? Isn't this Heavenly Secret Immortal afraid of being struck by lightning?"
This person is none other than the venerable old man, Sun Baifa, who came from the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty.
At this moment, the way he looked at Su Chen was as if he were looking at a dead man.
In his opinion, Su Chen had revealed so many heavenly secrets that he should have been punished by the heavens a hundred times over long ago.
Sun Xiaohong, standing beside him, glanced at him disdainfully and snorted, "Grandpa, are you convinced now? The title 'Immortal' for the Celestial Mystery Immortal isn't for nothing; he's far superior to you, this old man Celestial Mystery."
This time, Sun Baifa did not refute.
Su Chen's deductive abilities completely shocked him.
"Chaos has broken out! Chaos has broken out! This Celestial Immortal is so carelessly revealing heavenly secrets; it's going to cause chaos throughout the world."
After a long silence, Sun Baifa finally spoke those words.
"Sitting within a curtained chamber, yet capable of stirring up storms across the land, this is the true celestial being of divine wisdom!"
"I really like the Celestial Immortal. This trip to Snow Moon City was definitely worth it."
Sun Xiaohong said with a fangirl expression.
Sun Baifa shook his head, too lazy to explain the horrors of the situation to Sun Xiaohong.
The most precious thing about the Emperor's Sword is that it contains the destiny of the emperor.
Although fate is invisible and intangible, it does exist and influences everything in the unseen world.
The Emperor's Sword, possessing the destiny of an emperor, is like a bright pearl in the night for all emperors, who wish they could seize it immediately.
Xiao Yi was able to establish the state of Beili because the Heaven-Slaying Sword gave him the destiny of an emperor.
Ying Zheng was able to unify the world because the Tianwen Sword strengthened his imperial destiny.
Although a sword cannot determine everything, it at least played a crucial role.
Who in the world could resist such a divine weapon?
The Tianwen Sword was worn by Ying Zheng.
The Heaven-Slaying Sword is placed in the Number One Pavilion Under Heaven, guarded by Xie Zhize, a terrestrial immortal.
These two are relatively safe; most people wouldn't dare to mess with them.
But the Crimson Cloud Sword and the Dragon Spring Sword are different; they have long been lost to the world, and their owners can no longer protect them.
Especially the Longquan Sword, which grants the emperor's favor upon possession, is irresistible to everyone, and the martial world of the Tang Dynasty has stabilized.
As for the Crimson Sky Sword, even though it's still buried in the dust, it's still a highly sought-after item.
If Ying Zheng could seize it in time, things would be fine; otherwise, a bloody storm was inevitable.
This is no ordinary country.
