It turns out, they were the main characters.

Mu Zhian also felt somewhat emotional.

Having seen so many of Mengrou's occasional shyness, only now did he realize that Wei Mengrou was more than just pretty.

Her abilities are no less than her looks.

Also, the name Qian Chen... could this person be the young master of Qianyuan Pavilion...? Mu Zhian glanced inadvertently at the young man who was clutching his chest and staring at him hatefully.

He then unfolded the Eight Desolations Dream Map and directly absorbed the two of them into it.

Of course, this was to separate them from Lin Keyu, who had just been injured.

Everything in the Eight Desolate Dream Map was orchestrated by Mu Zhi'an, so creating more small worlds wouldn't have been difficult for him.

After finishing all this, Mu Zhian looked up at the group and smiled, "Perfect, now that we're two people short, may we join us?"

The group exchanged glances and then nodded silently, displaying remarkable understanding.

It wasn't that they were cowards, but the woman next to Mu Zhi'an was just too strange.

Wei Mengrou's level of achievement has far surpassed that of her peers.

She had even suppressed two cultivators at the Refining Spirit Realm, so naturally, she couldn't oppose Mu Zhi'an's joining.

Mu Zhian didn't even glance at Ye Yu. He simply raised his head and looked at the ancient bronze gate in front of him, about to ask about it.

Suddenly, he heard a loud 'boom' and the ancient door, which had been tightly closed, slowly opened.

A look of surprise appeared in everyone's eyes, and they exchanged glances.

Why did the bronze door, which was just tightly closed, open on its own at this moment?

Despite their thoughts, the group's gazes turned toward the bronze gate, their eyes filled with anticipation.

After all, all the hardships they went through were for the treasures in the Sword Palace.

At this moment, the treasure may very well be right in front of them, which naturally excites people.

However, when the group looked over, they only saw an ancient hall behind the door, and at the end of the hall was a woman frozen in ice.

Her face was extremely beautiful. She wore a dress embroidered with dark patterns, her face was delicate, her beautiful eyes were slightly closed with thick eyelashes, and her lips were thin and pink. She seemed to have a mysterious aura about her. At this moment, she was curled up in an ice sculpture with her hands wrapped around her knees.

"Look at her... doesn't she look a lot like the Sword Palace Master in the mural?" someone suddenly whispered, recognizing the woman's identity.

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhian's eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances at her, before finally glancing at her chest.

D+, close to E... there's no mistake, this is the Sword Palace Master.

Did she seal her body in an array after death and then freeze herself?

The thought had just flashed through Mu Zhian's mind when he suddenly heard Wei Mengrou say softly, "Something's not right... the ice on her body is melting."

At this moment, steam slowly rose from the woman's body, and then the ice began to melt slowly.

This woman is still alive?!

As this thought flashed through everyone's minds, almost instantly, the woman who was originally frozen in ice slowly opened her beautiful eyes.

At this moment, the vast hall was completely silent.

Everyone subconsciously swallowed, looking at the beautiful woman who slowly opened her eyes with some surprise and uncertainty.

As the ice on her body melted, it created a slowly rising mist, and the ice crystals made her already snow-white skin look even more beautiful.

Sword Palace Master!

This is a woman whose life is full of legends. She started as the daughter of the headmaster of a small martial arts school. With an ordinary white sword, she went all the way to the end, finally resonated with the Great Dao, comprehended the true meaning of the sword, and founded the Sword Palace as an unparalleled empress!

Everyone's heart was racing uncontrollably as they stared at the rebirth of an empress with astonished and uncertain eyes.

Rumors circulated that the Sword Palace Master had mysteriously disappeared, and no one knew why she vanished. However, since then, the Sword Palace has slowly declined.

After that, the Sword Palace was gradually forgotten by history. People only remembered the unparalleled demeanor of the Sword Palace Master and had heard of the Sword Palace's prosperity, but had never actually seen it.

However, at this moment, they saw this palace master... and judging from the looks of it, she might not be dead yet?!

If that's the case, then she must have sealed herself within the Sword Palace.

However, a sword emperor who has existed since ancient times could live for several lifetimes without sealing herself, so why would she deliberately seal herself?

This question echoed in everyone's minds, and even Mu Zhian was filled with astonishment at this moment.

Because of the Azure Emperor's example, he had more or less made similar guesses about whether the Sword Palace Master was still alive.

It is extremely difficult for a Dao Integration Realm expert to die completely. Unless their last wisp of spiritual consciousness disappears, it is very difficult for them to completely vanish from the world.

Judging from this, before their arrival, the Sword Palace Master had frozen himself within the formation...

But the question is, why did the ice sculpture melt away on its own after they arrived?

coincidence?

Or is it that the Sword Palace Master is searching for his successor, and that's why he has only just awakened from the seal?

At this moment, no one dared to move. They stared at the beautiful woman at the end of the hall with suspicion and uncertainty, afraid that if they moved even slightly, they would attract her attention and cause some kind of accident.

While everyone was still in shock and uncertainty, the ice sculpture on the woman's body had completely melted away.

She wore a dress with layers of intricate, dark patterns, her full breasts straining against the fabric, revealing a glimpse of snow-white skin.

Even though the hall was somewhat dim, it could not conceal her beautiful, translucent, snow-white skin, and the delicate cloud-walking shoes beneath her skirt.

At this moment, someone suddenly raised their hand and clasped their fist, saying, "Young Master Yu Ziming of the Hidden Sword Pavilion greets Senior!"

The sudden sound was particularly noticeable in the hall, and it also caused the Sword Palace Master's gaze to inadvertently fall on the person who spoke.

Her gaze was cold and calm, and after a brief look, she said softly, "Not bad talent."

Her voice was full of texture, like the sound of jade being struck, with a kind of magic that could calm people's emotions.

A hint of joy flickered in Yu Ziming's eyes as he raised his hand in a gesture of respect: "Thank you, senior. In truth, I had no intention of offending the Sword Palace this time. It was only because the Sword Palace descended upon us on its own initiative that..."

As he said this, he secretly rejoiced that he was quick-witted and had spoken up at this moment, immediately attracting the attention of the Sword Palace Master.

Seeing this, the people nearby couldn't help but frown secretly, cursing Yu Ziming for being so clever, and regretting that they hadn't taken the opportunity to speak up and grab the attention of the Sword Palace Master.

Upon seeing this, Ye Yu also frowned slightly, about to speak.

At that moment, he seemed to hear something in his heart, paused for a moment, and then remained silent without making a sound.

Mu Zhian remained silent, standing aside and observing.

The old man inside Ye Yu's body has a mysterious origin. If he could attract the attention of the Sword Palace Master by speaking, he could obtain the Sword Palace's inheritance. That old man should have warned Ye Yu long ago.

But Ye Yu has remained completely silent until now. Does this mean that things are not so simple?

In short, let's wait and see.

Ultimately, he did want the treasure of the Sword Palace, but that didn't mean he was willing to take too much risk.

My main purpose in coming to the Sword Palace this time is to see Bai Ruoxi. As long as things go smoothly for her, my own situation... doesn't really matter.

Just as Mu Zhian thought of this, the Sword Palace Master spoke again: "You have all come here for the Sword Palace's legacy?"

Because Yu Ziming spoke first, others immediately followed suit, clasping their hands and saying, "It is said that the Sword Palace Master is unparalleled. This junior has come to the Sword Palace for two reasons: first, to see the Sword Palace that you founded in the past; and second, if you can continue to promote the Sword Palace's techniques, it would be an honor for this junior."

After saying all that, what I really want is the cultivation technique from the Sword Palace.

The Palace Master of the Sword Palace stood silently, only raising her fingertip to point to the high platform beside her.

Only now did everyone notice that on the high platform to the side, there was an ancient bronze sword bound by four chains, which came from the four directions of the main hall, making it quite a shocking sight.

"What you desire is right there. Whether you obtain it or not depends on your fate," the Sword Palace Master's clear and melodious voice rang out.

"Ancient bronze sword!"

Almost instantly, everyone present felt a surge of eagerness as they stared intently at the ancient bronze sword bound by four chains from four directions on the high platform in front of the main hall.

You must know, this ancient bronze sword is a Dao-merging ancestral artifact left behind by the Sword Palace Master. If you could obtain this sword, wouldn't winning first place in the Ascension Tournament be a piece of cake?!

Yu Ziming's eyes lit up with joy, and he immediately asked, "May I go up on stage and try now?"

"If we fail, the loser will be punished," said the Palace Master of the Sword Palace, his exquisite and flawless face remaining expressionless.

However, Yu Ziming's gaze was completely drawn to the ancient bronze sword. Upon hearing this, he did not hesitate at all. He immediately stomped his foot on the ground, reached out his hand towards the high platform, and grabbed the hilt of the sword.

Wei Mengrou's eyes flickered slightly, and she couldn't help but glance at Mu Zhian, as if she wanted to say something.

This ancient bronze sword is very likely the third bronze fragment that Bai Ruoxi was missing, and if it were taken by someone else here...

But seeing Mu Zhian's completely calm gaze, Wei Mengrou ultimately held back what she wanted to say.

A loud rumbling sound suddenly came from the high platform in the distance, drawing everyone's attention involuntarily.

Before the high platform, Yu Ziming's internal cauldron was running wildly, bursting out with spiritual energy. He grabbed the hilt of the sword that was bound by chains with one hand, and then used all his strength to try to break the chains.

However, it was to no avail.

Yu Ziming was clearly unwilling to give up. He gritted his teeth and gripped the sword hilt tightly, as if he were fighting against something, letting out a low growl like a wild beast.

However, the ancient bronze sword remained completely still.

Yu Ziming staggered and fell off the platform.

boom!

With a heavy thud as the body crashed to the ground, the Sword Palace Master's voice rang out emotionlessly: "Anyone else want to try?"

"Wait... I haven't given up yet!"

At this moment, Yu Zimo immediately raised his head and looked at the Sword Palace Master. Although he was in a sorry state, his eyes were full of resentment.

"You have no causal relationship with that sword, and you cannot pull it out," the Sword Palace Master replied coldly.

Yu Ziming stared intently at the stunning beauty, his eyes flickering slightly, and said, "You're not the real Palace Master of the Sword Palace, are you?"

These words moved the crowd below.

Is Yu Ziming out of his mind because he can't pull out the bronze sword? How dare he utter such a questioning remark to the Sword Palace Master?

"You are just a remnant soul, and not even the remnant soul of the Sword Palace Master!" Yu Zimo loudly revealed the truth.

His physique was very special. From the moment he approached the Sword Palace Master, he realized that this woman was not the real Sword Palace Master!

A ruthless glint flashed in Yu Ziming's eyes, and he threw a sharp, long needle from his sleeve at the woman in front of him.
