And Tempering An Unsullied Body - Chapter 70

Very soon, the second match of the Dao Conference in the Capital also began. It was a competition on the Dao of artifact refinement. As the name implied, it was about forging weapons and refining Magic Treasures.

This time, the competition was extremely special. Unlike the pill refinement previously, this competition was held at the Sword Mountain on the western outskirts of the Capital.

A hundred years ago, when this continent was first created, chaos was about to erupt. The various sects and powers fought endlessly for territory and resources. Countless people were injured, and some even died. It could be said that the ground was scorched and the corpses piled up into mountains.

After that, a person appeared. He was independent of all time and things, and he used a strong stance to suppress all the heroes. He was called the Emperor and was unparalleled in the world. Countless people worshipped him as a supreme-ruler and even worshipped him with the Longevity Token.

From then on, the world was at peace and thousands of sects converged.

The Emperor also gathered all the supreme weapons in the world. The peerless experts all placed their weapons on the Sword Mountain. This represented the end of the war, and it also symbolized the unification of power.

As a result, the later generations were sheltered, and the dynasty was established. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. As time passed, the chaos rose again, and the power of the Imperial Court declined. This place gradually became a smelting ground.

Thousands of years had passed, and the old supreme weapons on the Sword Mountain all had souls. Thinking back to the past, their owners were all outstanding figures. Even now, any one of them could cause a stir in the world.

Back then, when they were at their peak, they were sealed. Even after so many years, even if their strength decreased, the supreme within could not be erased.

…

Soon, everyone arrived at the foot of the Sword Mountain.

Looking at the vast mountains in front of them, the mountains were verdant, and the trees were flourishing. It was as if they were embedded in jade. If one ignored the special area here, it would be a place with good scenery.

However, the seemingly peaceful appearance hid an undetectable danger. It was like the surface of an endless sea. No one knew how many undercurrents were surging in the deep seawater.

A light wind blew gently, carrying sword intent. It was as if even the air was made of Sword Qi. It was filled with an incomparably sharp feeling, as if one would be cut if they were careless for even a moment.

Not far away, there were a few unending mountain peaks. From afar, they looked like giant swords standing on the ground. A flying sword from outer space slashed down across the sky. Countless deep ravines were like powerful sword scars.

The steep mountain peaks were like extremely sharp sword blades. It was shocking to look at. Anyone with sensitive senses could sense that something was wrong.

…

“As expected of the Sword Mountain. Just this magnificent scenery is unique, something that other places don’t have.”

“If a new supreme weapon is forged, the weapons of this Sword Mountain will each emit a buzzing sound, which means that they acknowledge the supreme weapon. The louder the sound, the higher the strength of the blacksmith, the stronger the weapon forged.”

“Rumor has it that in the early days of the founding of the nation, Ou Yezi, the strongest blacksmith in history, once forged the Nine Great Divine Swords. As soon as the origin of the sword was forged, hundreds of swords resonated in unison. It was a magnificent sight.”

However, these were all records in ancient books. No one knew whether they were true or false. However, it could not be denied that the Sword Mountain had extremely powerful spirituality.

“I didn’t expect that this place would be chosen as the venue for the competition. It seems that another good show is about to begin.”

“I wonder if this competition will be as exciting as the alchemy competition last time. I’m looking forward to it.”

Just as everyone was discussing, the Luan Birds chirped and several rays of multicolored light drifted over from the sky. The azure and clear sky immediately became filled with multicolored light and a strange fragrance assailed everyone’s nostrils. Countless flower petals fell from the sky. There were all sorts of breathtaking scenes.

Everyone could not help but draw in a breath of cold air.

Amidst the rain of flowers, the multicolored Luan Birds flew over on a carriage. The carriage was extremely gorgeous, with top-grade Blood Jade and corals as decorations. Eastern Sea Pearls were strung into a pearl curtain, and all sorts of rare treasures and rare items were like little toys that could be seen everywhere, they were all decorated on the carriage.

However, any one of them was an existence that everyone would fight over.

These were all secondary. Who didn’t know that the five-colored Luan Bird was a high-level demonic beast? It even had the bloodline of the Divine Blue Luan. Just by looking at the powerful aura they emitted, one would be able to tell a thing or two. But now, they were being used to pull the carriage, and there were four of them.

One could not help but sigh. who exactly had such a huge amount of wealth and power?

The carriage was getting closer and closer. However, the white gauze was floating, and one could vaguely see their graceful posture. It made one’s imagination run wild. At the same time, a cold female voice sounded, like a clear spring flowing through a mountain stream.

“The rules of the second match are that at the foot of Sword Mountain, one must refine their own weapon. Whoever’s weapon receives the most recognition from Sword Mountain, the one with the loudest buzz… That would be the final winner. That person will be awarded by this Palace.”

Although one could not see her face clearly, one could guess who she was. She was to be able to use a five-colored Luan to pull her carriage, to be able to be a judge for the Dao Conference Competition, and to use the royal language. It was likely to be that person.

The most respected princess of the Capital, who was titled ‘Green Lotus’.

“This time, the one acting as the judge will actually be the respected Green Lotus Princess!”

“It is rumored that when this Green Lotus Princess was born, all the lotuses in the city bloomed, and she was born with a budding green lotus in her hand. There was the sound of the Great Dao in the sky, and the crane brought countless lotuses. It can be said that her supreme has reached its peak.”

The Green Lotus Princess was the most respected person in the Capital. Needless to say, many people doted on her.

She was born with a strange phenomenon. After that, her talent was even more outstanding, and she displayed exceptional strength. When she was a child, she was already at the peak of Spirit Condensation. She could be said to be a favored child of the Heavens, leaving all her peers far behind.

If one thought about it, to have such cultivation at such a young age, one’s prospects would be limitless. There were even experts skilled in divi-ation who had once given prophecies about the princess, asserting that she had the potential of ascending to Immortality in the future.
