On your wedding night, stay with your godbrother; the Empress is practically throwing herself at you

The moment that jet-black longsword appeared out of thin air.

An extremely chilling cold instantly swept across the entire square.

The surrounding temperature seemed to drop by tens of degrees in an instant, and even the air was filled with a large number of tiny ice crystals.

"hiss--"

"It's so cold!"

Sun Miaoyin couldn't help but shudder.

The next moment, his eyes widened instantly.

and many more.

What is that?

How come a sword suddenly appeared on the senior's leg?

And that sword.

As the eldest daughter of a family specializing in weapons, Sun Miaoyin possesses exceptionally sharp judgment.

This sword...

It was jet black, with a long blade and faint dark red patterns flowing across it, giving it an eerie and dangerous beauty.

There are no unnecessary decorations.

But it's just that kind of naturally radiant sharpness.

It makes one feel a burning pain on the skin, as if nothing can withstand its damage.

"This...this is..."

Sun Miaoyin's voice was trembling.

"Creation out of thin air?"

"Spatial laws?"

"This is a sixth-grade... no, even a seventh-grade magic sword?!"

She could hardly believe her eyes.

That senior clearly had nothing in his hand.

This sword seems to have appeared out of thin air!

Is this the method of a royal-level powerhouse?

Or……

This is what is known as the law.

That senior is truly amazing!

That's so enchanting!

Although Liu Fuyao didn't understand weapon crafting, she could still sense the extraordinary nature of that sword.

Looking at his master sitting cross-legged under the broken halberd.

The admiration in his eyes was practically overflowing.

This is my master!

They can casually pull out divine weapons of this caliber!

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man in the blue robe was maintaining his superior image while inwardly drooling.

[Heavenly Evil Sword (Rank 6): Forged from Netherworld Cold Iron, fused with ten-thousand-year-old ice essence, and tempered by earth fire for forty-nine days. Its blade is wicked, exuding a chilling aura, and possesses the innate skill "Evil Shadow Instant Kill!"]

Awesome!

That's absolutely amazing!

And it even comes with its own special skills!

If this were combined with his own "Two Green Snakes," the destructive power would be unimaginable!

I couldn't help but gently stroke the cool blade.

Feeling the terrifying power contained within, Lu Chuan was overjoyed.

This is incredibly lucrative!

With this sword...

Even if he were to face a true Martial Emperor, he would dare to go head-to-head with him!

Suppress your excitement.

Then they turned their attention to another reward—"The Hundred Crafts Manual".

A thought crossed my mind.

Accept the reward.

A massive flow of information flooded my mind once again.

Countless complex and profound runes, blueprints, material recipes, and crafting techniques...

Like a movie playing, it flashed rapidly through his mind.

"Exceptional comprehension, activate!"

Lu Chuan activated his extraordinary comprehension without hesitation.

In an instant.

Those originally obscure and difficult-to-understand pieces of knowledge instantly became clear and easy to understand.

It's like a primary school student suddenly understanding calculus; that feeling of sudden enlightenment is absolutely exhilarating.

So this is what weapon crafting is all about...

Who knew ingredients could be combined like this...

So there are so many intricacies involved in inscribing formations...

Lu Chuan was so immersed in the ocean of knowledge that he couldn't extricate himself.

……

Outside, seeing that her master had already entered meditation, Liu Fuyao dared not disturb him any further.

Instead, he took a deep breath.

Walk to one side of the square.

He drew his alloy longsword and began practicing the "Two Sleeves Green Snake" technique, following the instructions Lu Chuan had just given him.

Swish!

Swish!

Liu Fuyao truly deserves to be called the future empress.

Although his movements were still quite clumsy at the beginning of his practice, and his sword energy was not as refined as Lu Chuan's.

But each sword strike carried an unstoppable momentum.

Sun Miaoyin could only sigh helplessly when she realized that the big shot had no intention of paying attention to her.

Then, looking at Lu Chuan, her eyes lit up again.

"Brother Lu Chuan~"

"that……"

"The senior is in seclusion. Could you tell me about weapon crafting?"

Lu Chuan was currently receiving insights from his main body, his mind filled with various knowledge about weapon crafting.

Upon hearing Sun Miaoyin's words, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Did this silly woman really take it seriously?

but……

Since the main body has already learned the "Hundred Crafts Manual", then this clone of himself will naturally learn it as well.

Showing off is a piece of cake, isn't it?

"Cough cough."

Lu Chuan gave her a knowing glance.

"The art of weapon crafting is vast and profound; how can it be explained in just a few words?"

"But since you're so eager to learn, I'll test you first."

Do you know what artifact patterns are?

Sun Miaoyin's eyes lit up.

"I know, I know! Weapon patterns are the array patterns engraved on weapons, which can guide spiritual energy..."

One of them dared to teach, and the other dared to learn.

Wukong, who was standing nearby, followed suit.

He picked up a twig from the ground and waved it around, imitating Liu Fuyao.

"Squeak! Drink!"

You know what?

This monkey is naturally very intelligent.

When she wielded a sword, she was surprisingly skilled, even more agile than Liu Fuyao.

……

Lu Chuan and the others were unaware of this.

While they were peacefully cultivating deep within the ruins, the outside world had truly been turned upside down.

The southern part of the city was bombed.

The cause, of course, was Hu Mei's phenomenal live stream.

At first, most viewers thought it was some kind of movie special effects, or some script created by an internet celebrity to attract attention.

But when the video clip of "the senior in green robes appearing out of nowhere, petrifying everyone with a single glance and filling the sky with murderous aura" was posted on a martial arts forum by a busybody, the entire online public opinion shifted instantly.

#Holy crap, this isn't special effects. I analyzed it frame by frame with professional software, and there's no trace of post-processing!

#Petrifying evil energy... What kind of method is this? I've never heard of it before.

#Could it be some kind of legendary supernatural power?

#Supernatural powers? Dude upstairs, are you kidding me? Isn't that something that only exists in ancient records?

#Absolutely a royal-level powerhouse!

Only a royal-level powerhouse could accomplish such a world-changing feat!

Below the post, countless comments flooded in like a tidal wave.

In just one hour.

Tens of thousands of buildings have been erected.

The entry for "Mysterious Martial Emperor of the Southern City".

Once again, it has overwhelmingly topped the trending search lists on major platforms.

The hype even surpassed the "Battle of the Two Saints" from a while ago.

After all, although the battle was terrifying, it was still separated by a screen and a great distance.

This time, however, it was a living, breathing Emperor-level expert who appeared in the public eye in a way that was almost miraculous.

The impact it brought was far greater than the former.

For a time, the wind was surging.

The local martial artists of Nancheng were the first to become restless.

One by one, people immediately drove, rode motorcycles, and even rode shared bicycles, frantically rushing towards the Twin Saints ruins in the suburbs.

That's the Martial Emperor!

A living legend!

The news then spread.

Martial arts forces in other cities within Jiangnan Province, and even in several surrounding provinces, also sprang into action upon receiving the news.
