Eternal God Emperor: My Simulated Path to God Emperor

Chapter 25 Heavenly Venerable Sword Embryo

According to Yuan Lie, the Kunwu Realm will soon be a gathering place for countless top saints from the Heavenly Court, the myriad realms, and the ten races of Hell.

Divine sons and holy sons, divine daughters and holy maidens... Perfected physiques are everywhere, and it is not a fantasy that supreme perfected physiques will appear in large numbers.

Even the controllers of the Eternal Way, the chosen successors of the ancient tradition... may very well make an appearance.

For some reason, Yuan Qianmo felt no fear whatsoever; instead, she felt a sense of longing.

Originally, Ji Ze asked, "What kind of treasure is it that could attract the attention of the ten races of Hell and various realms of Heaven? Could it be a divine artifact?"

"It's not a divine artifact, but it's almost on par with one, and for some beings, its value even surpasses that of a divine artifact." Yuan Lie's tone was filled with longing. "Legend has it that in the ancient Kunwu Realm, there was an abundance of red copper and gold, all of which were supreme divine materials. Once, a Celestial Venerable-level figure used red copper and gold as materials, sacrificed a white ox and a white horse, and forged twelve sword blanks. After enduring four tribulations of heaven and earth, wind and thunder, he finally obtained four of them."

"These four sword embryos all have the potential to transform into supreme divine artifacts. That ancient celestial venerable only took one of them and forged it into a personal sword. In the millions of years that followed, two other ancient gods of the celestial realm each took one sword embryo and forged it into a battle sword."

"That last sword embryo was sealed away by the gods of the Kunwu Realm as a foundation to protect the realm. They intended to wait for a supreme swordsman to be born in the Kunwu Realm to refine it, but even after it became a battlefield of merit, that sword embryo still did not find its master."

"The Way of the Sword is one of the Seventy-Two Supreme Sacred Paths. Countless sword cultivators in Heaven and Hell possess it. Tell me, which sword cultivator in the world wouldn't desire such a divine sword embryo to forge into a weapon?"

The sword blank forged by the ancient celestial venerable sounds like an extraordinary treasure, perhaps even more precious than some supreme holy artifacts. But after all, it is just a sword blank, not a real divine sword. Does it really have such a strong attraction?

Seeing what Yuan Qianmo was thinking, Yuan Lie continued, "Do you know what level those three sword blanks that were taken away are at now?"

Yuan Qianmo said, "Since it is a sword embryo forged by the ancient Heavenly Venerable, even if it cannot be transformed into a divine weapon, it should at least be a supreme holy weapon."

Yuan Lie smiled and shook his head slightly: "The ancient celestial venerable who forged the sword embryo was the Pure Yang Celestial Venerable of the Wind Clan in the Pangu Realm. The sword embryo he took away is now the Wind Clan's clan-protecting artifact, the Pure Yang Divine Sword."

"The other two sword blanks, one was taken by the gods of the Sword God Realm and transformed into the divine artifact 'Mingjun Sword', and the other was taken by the ancient world lord of the Sword King Realm and named 'Thirteen Coin Sword'. It is now in the hands of Zhao Gongming, one of the War Gods of the Heavenly Palace, and is also a divine artifact."

"There are four sword embryos. The other three will transform into divine weapons. In other words, whoever obtains the last sword embryo will wield a future divine sword. Moreover, this divine sword will grow with the user and become the most suitable weapon for them in the world."

"Even among the world's greatest swordsmen, few can wield divine weapons. Do you think they wouldn't be interested?"

Divine artifacts are beings that surpass even sacred artifacts. Each divine artifact represents the most important foundation of a race. Even a super-powerful force like the Death Clan would not possess more than thirty divine artifacts.

If one has the chance to obtain a divine artifact, even god-kings and deities might intervene.

If a deity like Yuan Dingchu, who specializes in swordsmanship, were to obtain a Celestial Sword Embryo, his strength would undoubtedly increase dramatically.

Almost every one of the ten races of Hell has a Sword God, so it's not surprising that the Kunwu Realm's Merit Battlefield has attracted the participation of all ten races.

Yuan Lie observed the changes in Yuan Qianmo's expression and continued, "Junior Brother Qianmo, if you just want to enter the Merit Battlefield for training, you have many other options. Don't get involved in this mess in Kunwu Realm."

"A mess?" Yuan Qianmo shook his head. "After listening to what my senior brother said, I'm even more eager to go to the Kunwu Realm's Merit Battlefield. How can I miss such a grand occasion where geniuses from Heaven and Hell gather?"

Yuan Lie's eyes held a hint of amusement. After a brief silence, he suddenly burst into laughter.

"Before coming here, I made a bet with Senior Brother Dongyin. He was convinced that you would choose to go there once you knew about the situation in Kunwu Realm. Now it seems that Senior Brother Dongyin understands you better. I underestimated you, Junior Brother."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Qianmo understood and smiled helplessly: "So, Senior Brother came here specifically to test me?"

"You had Yuan Ji inquire about the Merit Battlefield everywhere, so Master and Senior Brother Dong Yin naturally already knew. It just so happens that the Kunwu Realm Battlefield is about to enter its second phase, so they sent me here." Yuan Lie told the truth.

Yuan Qianmo understood the implied meaning and asked, "Does Father God also want me to go to the Kunwu Realm?"

Yuan Lie nodded, his expression somewhat complicated.

"Xiangyi Sword God is one of the top five strongest members of the Yuan Clan. He is very interested in the sword embryo in the Kunwu Realm and has ordered all branches of the Yuan Clan to send Saint Realm geniuses to the Kunwu Realm Merit Battlefield to compete for the sword embryo at any cost."

"Master... after all, he is from the Yuan clan. The Sword God Xiangyi has issued a divine decree, so he still has to give you some face. However, if you don't want to go, no one can force you."

Yuan Qianmo's expression changed. The Yuan Clan was a major force among the Dead Clan, with a history of tens of millions of years and numerous lineages that could be said to be spread throughout the Dead Clan's territory, with powerful figures everywhere.

The clan has powerful figures like Yuan Ruhai, a "half-saint," and the Lord of the Divine City, one of the five giants of the Dead Clan, also surnamed Yuan.

Xiangyi Sword God is among the top five in the entire Yuan clan, so he must be an extraordinary deity that the Yuan God Temple and Yuan Dingchu cannot afford to offend.

"How could I miss such a grand event? Even without the divine decree of the Sword God Xiangyi, I would still make a trip to the Kunwu Realm," Yuan Qianmo said calmly.

Seeing this, Yuan Lie's eyes showed satisfaction, and he felt a greater sense of approval for this junior brother.

"If my brother is going, I can't be absent either. Senior Brother Yuan Lie, I, Benji, am also willing to go." Yuan Ji volunteered from the side.

"Alright." Yuan Lie laughed heartily. "There's still some time before the Kunwu Realm Battlefield enters its second phase. At that time, the Temple of Destiny will send the saints of the ten races into the battlefield. Since you two have decided to go, I'll take you to the Forest of No Return in a few days."

……

In the heart of the original God Temple, Yuan Dingchu and the Great Sage of Dongyin stood before a spatial mirror, which showed the scene of Yuan Qianmo and the other two talking.

"Does Master really intend to send Qianmo and Benji to Kunwu Realm?" asked the Great Sage of Dongyin.

"You think we shouldn't let them go?"

"The decree of the Sword God Xiangyi is not to be disobeyed, but it would be better to send a few Saintly geniuses instead. Sending just two would be too risky. It's a thankless task, and even if we do manage to help the Sword God Xiangyi obtain the Heavenly Venerable Sword Embryo, we won't gain any substantial benefits," said the Great Sage Dongyin.

Although the Primordial God Temple is a force under the Primordial Clan, it doesn't seem worth it to risk one's life for the Xiangyi Sword God, who represents the direct lineage.

"Benji has the potential to become a god, and Qianmo has even greater potential. But no matter how high their talent is, they still need to be tempered and refined to achieve anything. I sent them to the Kunwu Realm not to curry favor with Xiangyi Sword God, but because I didn't want them to miss this opportunity to train." Yuan Dingchu said calmly. "As for the Heavenly Venerable Sword Embryo, if they can really obtain it, its ownership at that time is not necessarily up to anyone to decide."

Upon hearing this, the Great Sage of Dongyin seemed to ponder. Since Yuan Dingchu had already made his plans, he no longer needed to think about it further.
