Borrowing a sword

Chapter 332 The Reincarnation of the Ancestral Emperor and the Second Dao Ancestor

The contest between the leaders of the East and West continents will have three days for rest and reorganization.

Chu Huaixu was almost always in seclusion, but no one knew what he was busy with.

In fact, he didn't practice much at all.

Most of the time, he was actually thinking.

After all, he had witnessed the battle between the Ancestral Emperor and the Evil Sword.

Chu Huaixu witnessed many of the Ancestral Emperor's methods, as well as some of the trump cards he could currently use.

"In fact, no matter how powerful the Ancestral Emperor is, he is still limited by this mere third-realm physical body."

"Even a max-level expert can't help this 'alt account' because it's too weak; many of its techniques are simply unusable."

Overall, the most pressing issue right now is actually the fate of the Moon Kingdom.

It draws power continuously, as if it never runs out of mana.

Chu Huaixu still has several million [cultivation skill experience points], but unfortunately he can't regain mana by leveling up.

He had a bold plan in mind.

"Unfortunately, my plan cannot be tested."

"I just hope that the Dao Ancestor won't trick me. Everything I experienced in the Dao Ancestor's Secret Realm does indeed match the actual situation."

Otherwise, I would have no choice but to use the Elixir in public!

Just last night, Chu Huaixu called Xiao Xu to his side and asked him to take out the bronze sword.

The dead fox's goal was simple: he wanted to see if the evil pill could absorb evil energy and thus enhance its effects.
The ability of evil energy to absorb evil spirits has an upper limit, and so does the evil pill.

However, the latter has a higher rank than the former, so it might be able to absorb it directly!

If all else fails, then let [Dao Sheng Yi] absorb it and refine a few more Demon Pills for fun.

However, there is a problem here.

If Xu Ziqing holds the sword in his left hand, the sword will not emit any evil aura.

If you hold the sword in your right hand, the sword spirit won't be sealed again unless you beat him half to death.

Fortunately, after discussing it, the two discovered that they could use the [Sword Nurturing Technique]!
When performing the sword-nurturing technique, it is equivalent to nurturing the evil sword, which will briefly awaken and allow it to enjoy itself.

As a result, when the sword spirit woke up, it "saw" Chu Huaixu, who disliked each other.

Moreover, the other person had an extremely sarcastic expression on their face.

The sword in his mind suddenly trembled and began to provoke him in various ways.

This caused the bronze sword to immediately emit a terrifying aura of malevolence and evil!
Chu Huaixu took out the elixir containing the [Four Symbols Spiritual Root] and attempted to absorb it.

He wouldn't be foolish enough to take out the other elixir.

The Emperor's divine will is contained inside! This is someone else's territory; it's not safe here.

Surprisingly, it actually worked!

The power of the evil pill was indeed strengthened, as it absorbed wisps of evil energy.

However, this process seemed to have an upper limit, and not many strands were absorbed.

By the time the sword spirit realized what was happening, the [Sword Nourishment Technique] had already ended.

Is this some kind of nurturing or care for me?!
This is a robbery!
Unfortunately, it was immediately resealed by the Dao Ancestor's restrictions in its rage and fell into a deep sleep.

"How intelligent do you expect a sword to be?" Chu Huaixu said with a hint of smugness.

He immediately activated [Dao Sheng Yi] to absorb the elixir back and placed it inside the black bead to prevent any mishaps.

Unfortunately, he couldn't even use his divine sense to examine the interior of the [Spirit Pill] to see how much its absorption limit had increased, because his divine sense would also be absorbed into it.
"The system's [Information Detection] function works, but my permission level seems to need to be raised further; all I get are question marks." Chu Huaixu was somewhat speechless.

He let out a long breath and, in front of Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing, said with a smile, "Now everything is ready."

He knew that the two of them must have been worried after he made the decision to kill the crown prince.

But as usual, they will unconditionally support every decision Chu Huaixu makes.

Therefore, he would deliberately say a few words to alleviate some of their worries.

"I just wonder what the Moon Kingdom's resentment towards me is now, and what the Moon Kingdom's people think about the competition for the leadership?" the dead fox thought to himself.

The situation unfolded exactly as Chu Huaixu had hoped.

The Xuanhuang Realm is not an information explosion world after all. Although there are cultivators who can travel thousands of miles a day, it still takes time for many major events to unfold.

Chu Huaixu's "bad behavior" has now spread throughout the entire Moon Kingdom.

"This is outrageous! Do they really think that our Moon Kingdom has no one to rely on?!"

"In such a competition, they would even think of killing someone. Is this the code of conduct of the Daoist sect?!"

"And he calls himself the leader of Xuanhuang? He has absolutely no bearing or style!"

In particular, his muttered, sweeping statement about whether the Yue people were sore losers completely ignited the anger of the entire nation.

This wouldn't be a big deal on Earth.

That level of mockery is nothing.

But this is the Xuanhuang Realm.

People from the Xuanhuang Realm have never heard such words before!
Verbal and written criticisms are rampant!
Qin Xuanxiao's victory in the semi-finals undoubtedly sparked a huge reaction.

Although, in reality, the Crown Prince of Rui won by a narrow margin.

He only lasted a few breaths longer than Xu Ziqing.

According to onlookers, that battle was truly earth-shattering and awe-inspiring!

Neither of them knew why, but they suddenly took to the air.

The supernatural power he unleashed was approaching that of a great cultivator at the fifth realm!
Among the onlookers, there would certainly be many cultivators at the fifth or sixth realm.

After all, this is the capital of the Moon Kingdom, and it's bound to be a place where hidden talents abound. Even these people, when discussing this battle with outsiders, felt that the scene was extremely outrageous.

It's unimaginable that this would happen in the grand competition of the Third Realm.

As for Xu Ziqing, it's quite obvious that her biggest reliance is that sword.

Furthermore, that sword looked very sinister.

But our Crown Prince is different.

Some even say that the Crown Prince may have already learned the Heavenly-level magic left behind by the Ancestral Emperor!
In addition, the continuous flow of national fortune that day caused a great deal of discussion among the people, with many saying, "His Highness the Crown Prince is simply the reincarnation of the ancestral emperor!"

Qin Xuanxiao never dreamed that he would one day have such a nickname.

This isn't some reincarnation of the ancestral emperor; this is the ancestral emperor fighting on his behalf!
But all of this undoubtedly boosted public confidence.

Due to numerous historical issues, the people of the Moon Kingdom and the Mirror Kingdom have never gotten along well.

For ordinary people, this East-West continental competition is a battle for face between the two countries, and even somewhat resembles a battle for national power!

However, the Moon Kingdom performed terribly this time, with only the Crown Prince making it into the top four.

"Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince has overcome all obstacles and made it into the final competition!"

"As long as he gets the position of leader of Xuanhuang, nothing else matters!"

Besides, Chu Huaixu's performance in the previous rounds was far inferior to that of the time when the Ancestral Emperor fought on his behalf.

This has led to high expectations for Qin Xuanxiao from everyone.

Moreover, the vast majority of people have very clear stances.

Many people in this world don't consider the actual situation at all; they only consider their own personal perspective.

This made countless people in the Moon Kingdom believe that His Highness the Crown Prince would win!
Everyone was waiting for him to teach this arrogant Chu Huaixu a lesson in the ring.

Make him pay the price for his arrogant words!
Against this backdrop, the finals of the East-West Continental Championship finally began.

The contest for the East and West continental leadership was scheduled for the afternoon.

The entire Taoist team will be mobilized and head to the competition venue to cheer on Chu Huaixu.

In the open space, a group of Taoist practitioners began to gather.

Jiang Zhi and other high-ranking officials did not appear; they will fly directly to the high platform later.

Deacon Mo stood at the front, organizing the team.

After the Taoist disciples gathered at this moment, everyone cheered for Chu Huaixu.

Today, his prestige among his peers in the Taoist sect is at its zenith!
No matter how strong Prince Rui performed in the last round, the Daoist disciples will stubbornly believe that Chu Zhenchuan will win!
"So what if you are the reincarnation of the ancestral emperor?"

"My Chu Zhenchuan is even hailed as the second Dao Ancestor!"

Even if your ancestor is stronger, he is no match for my Dao Ancestor.

Mo Qingmei stood at the front and counted the number of people.

Once everyone had gathered, he said, "Let's go."

However, Chu Huaixu suddenly called out to her: "Deacon Mo."

"Huh?" Mo Qingmei was taken aback.

Chu Huaixu took a step forward and looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him.

You could tell she looked a little tired.

After Niu Yuanshan committed suicide, she had to take charge of many of the team's affairs on her own.

Moreover, how could she sleep well and eat well when the person she had loved for so many years had died?
On the contrary, she has been constantly busy.

If she has nothing to do, she seems to find something to do.

In short, Mo Qingmei never allowed herself to stop.

She has a gentle and pleasing appearance, and women who are pleasing to the eye tend to age slowly.

As they get older, their advantages will become more and more prominent.

However, Mo Qingmei now looked a few years older than before.

I don't know if it's because she looks too haggard, or for some other reason.

Since Lao Niu died, she has not gone to see Chu Huaixu, nor has she spoken to him much.

Because she always regarded this boy as a junior, and herself as his close elder.

Mo Qingmei was very scared.

She was afraid that she might accidentally lose control of her emotions and affect Chu Huaixu.

She believed that the child must be very sad that the old ox had died.

Deacon Mo didn't want to cause him any negative emotions because of himself.

At this moment, she had no idea why Chu Huaixu had suddenly called out to her.

Little did he know, he had something to say to Mo Qingmei. But the reason he chose to say it here was because he felt that his disciples could listen, and should listen as well.

“Deacon Mo, I know you went to see Master Nangong and the others because of Deacon Niu’s matter.”

"Master Nangong asked you to wait."

"Deacon Mo, I really shouldn't have kept you waiting for so long."

"But I had no other choice."

Chu Huaixu said in a deep voice:

"Today, I will give you an answer and be the first to give you an explanation!"
