“What did you just say?” Li Qingshan doubted his ears and thought he misheard.

“I’ll take you to kill an Emperor!” The giant sword repeated.

Li Qingshan took a deep breath. His heart was in turmoil as he said in a low voice, “Do you know what you’re talking about?”

He had just broken through to the Immortal King Realm, and his 3,000 Great Paths were not yet completed, yet he wanted to kill an Emperor. Wasn’t he daydreaming?

“I know. Are you afraid?” The giant sword asked.

“I’m not afraid. I just think it’s unrealistic,” Li Qingshan said truthfully.

“How do you know it’s unrealistic if you haven’t tried it?” The giant sword asked.

At this moment, the giant sword’s demeanor changed from its previous aloofness, and it began conversing with Li Qingshan.

“Where exactly are you from?” At this moment, Li Qingshan was very curious about the origin of the giant sword, given its bold statement of wanting to kill an Emperor.

“I’m Qingqing’s sword. She gave me to you, so now I’m your sword,” The giant sword replied.

It still refused to tell Li Qingshan its true origins.

“Why do we need to kill an Emperor?”

“Can we even kill him?”

“Where is the Emperor?”

Li Qingshan asked three consecutive questions.

“The Emperor is in this Forbidden Land. As long as you’re willing, you can kill him. As for why we should kill him, it’s for Qingqing’s vengeance,” The giant sword said to Li Qingshan.

“For Qingqing’s vengeance?” Li Qingshan frowned. How did this involve Qingqing?

“There are some things that you will naturally understand when your cultivation level is high enough. No matter how much you ask now, you won’t be able to do anything. This time, it was a rare opportunity for you to come to this Forbidden Land. I just remembered that there is a sleeping Emperor here. As long as you handle it properly, you can kill him,” The giant sword said to Li Qingshan.

Li Qingshan fell silent.

After careful consideration, he said to the giant sword, “What should we do to kill the Emperor?”

“In this Forbidden Land, there are several Emperor. They are all sleeping. One of them is directly relation to Qingqing’s demise. Our target this time is him,” The giant sword said.

“No problem. Where is he?” Li Qingshan asked.

“There’s a black mountain up ahead. I can sense his aura. I can’t be wrong. He was the one who gave Qingqing a sword attack back then,” The giant sword said softly.

“What’s Qingqing’s background?” Li Qingshan asked in confusion.

“I’ll tell you Qingqing’s story after we kill this Emperor,” The giant sword promised Li Qingshan.

“Alright,” Li Qingshan agreed immediately.

“Although I’ve already broken through to the Immortal King Realm, the gap between me and an Emperor is still too great. What should I do to kill an Emperor?” Li Qingshan asked in confusion.

“You need to borrow power,” The giant sword said to Li Qingshan.

“Borrow power?”

“Whose power do I borrow?”

Li Qingshan asked in confusion.

“Go and borrow the power of Qingqing’s grandfather, ” The giant sword said softly.

“Is Qingqing’s grandfather also buried here?” Li Qingshan asked in disbelief.

Wasn’t this place a Forbidden Land?

How did it become the burial ground of Qingqing’s ancestors?

The giant sword fell silent.

Li Qingshan didn’t press it either. He waited quietly for its answer.

After a while, the giant sword spoke, “This Forbidden Land is just a name given by the world. Originally, this place was just a cemetery.”

Li Qingshan took a deep breath but remained silent. He continued to listen to the giant sword.

“I didn’t intend to tell you this at first. Your cultivation is still too weak, but since we’re already here, I might as well tell you,” The giant sword sighed.

“I’m all ears,” Li Qingshan said calmly.

“This world is different from what you think. This Forbidden Land in the eyes of the world is just the graveyard of a certain family,” The giant sword said.

“Is it the Qingqing family’s graveyard?” Li Qingshan asked.

“Yes,” The giant sword replied.

“Wait, since this is the Qingqing family’s graveyard, then the people buried here are all Qing Qing’s ancestors…” Li Qingshan said in surprise. He stopped himself from uttering the terrifying truth.

“You guessed right. Qingqing was slain by someone from her own family. It was her uncle. After killing Qingqing, he was also seriously injured, so he buried himself here to recover,” The giant sword said with a complicated tone.

“Why?” Li Qingshan asked in confusion.

“Don’t the other members of the family care?” Li Qingshan frowned.

“There are only a few people left in Qingqing’s family. No one dares to interfere,” The giant sword sighed. If someone from the elder generation had stood up back then, Qingqing wouldn’t have died.

“What kind of family is this? So brutal?” Li Qingshan said angrily.

“Qingqing’s family is a reclusive family that has given birth to many experts. Some people call them the Heaven-Defying Clan, while others refer to them as the family that steals celestial secrets.”

“If their family wanted to come out and fight for hegemony in the Immortal Plane, it shouldn’t be a problem for them to overthrow the Celestial Court with their foundation.

“But Qingqing’s family didn’t do that. Instead, they chose to live in seclusion.”

“But everything came to an abrupt end twenty thousand years ago.”

“At that time, Qingqing was born. She was beautiful and had a powerful bloodline. She was like a human elf and was very perfect.”

“But then some things happened. Qingqing’s parents left, and she was raised by an old servant of the family. She displayed immense talent and wisdom. Her parents even entrusted her with the Giant Sword, forged by the efforts of several generations of the family, for self-defense.”

“Qingqing was wise from a young age, capable of independent thinking. Later, as her parents didn’t return, she gradually grew up and learned more about the world. Her thoughts changed, and she clashed with her uncle, who was a genius of the previous generation in this Heaven-defying family..”
