#500 - It's all routine

At the peak of the central tower in the capital city.

"The three days aren't up yet. Instead of trying to solve the problem of those corpses tainted by the power of darkness, what are you doing here?" The Sword Spirit of the God-Slaying Sword said with feigned surprise, "You wouldn't have regretted it and come to nullify our agreement, would you? Hmm, although your cultivation realm is low, your ambition is high. You shouldn't be doing something so shameful."

Jun Wuxie's lips twitched slightly upon hearing this.

Good heavens, it's even resorting to reverse psychology.

This Sword Spirit is quite interesting.

He remembered that he could command it to act three times unconditionally, which the Sword Spirit proposed.

The Sword Spirit naturally knew how tempting such a condition was for him.

Clearly, this fellow also wanted to trick him.

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but be curious about the Sword Spirit's intentions.

With existences like the War God Sword Spirit, what could possibly be something they couldn't accomplish themselves, yet wanted him to do?

"That's hard to say. It depends on what it is. What if I can't do it? If I lose, you can make me do whatever you want, but only if I have the ability..."

Jun Wuxie's tone was somewhat helpless, sounding unconfident, even a little impatient.

"What, are you giving up already? Isn't there still more than a day left?"

The Sword Spirit teased. Jun Wuxie's tone and expression revealed that he had completely despaired of this bet.

The Sword Spirit was convinced of this.

Back then, even the Great Emperor couldn't do it!

Although, over the long years, the power of darkness was no longer comparable to what it once was. It had even been purified by the Little World Tree into a strange energy that was barely at the level of the power of darkness anymore.

But its dark origin had never completely dissipated.

Even if the young man before him disregarded the consequences and tried to forcibly resolve it, the Little World Tree would absolutely not agree. That way, the young man would have no way to touch those corpses.

"What's the difference between one or two days and three days? If it can be done, it can be done. If it can't, it can't..." Jun Wuxie shook his head and sighed, "You're right. The pride in my bones doesn't allow me to go back on my word. If I lose and still go back on my word, wouldn't that be worse than a pig or a dog?"

The Sword Spirit very much agreed with his words: "Boy, you've spoken well. A bet is a bet. If you forcibly go back on your word, that is indeed worse than a pig or a dog! Likewise, if I lose, I will definitely fulfill my promise."

"Of course, I believe you won't go back on your word. You are Emperor Xuanyuan's imperial weapon. Now that the Great Emperor is gone, your existence can be said to represent the Great Emperor. If even you go back on your word, wouldn't that be slapping Emperor Xuanyuan in the face?"

"You're right. As the Great Emperor's weapon, my actions, in a sense, represent the Great Emperor. I will never tarnish the Great Emperor's reputation at any time!"

The Sword Spirit's tone was full of pride, and also with deep remembrance, as if recalling those glorious years by Emperor Xuanyuan's side.

"Tell me, why did you make a bet with me, offering a condition that I couldn't refuse? What exactly do you want me to do for you?"

"Actually, I didn't have any ideas at first. I just suddenly thought of something." The Sword Spirit said meaningfully, "The Great Emperor left me behind that year and departed without a trace. His clan continues to this day. Although they can be considered prosperous in this world, they will eventually face even more powerful enemies..."

"Get to the point..."

Jun Wuxie was getting a little impatient.

The Sword Spirit was somewhat dissatisfied with being interrupted and said, "In my opinion, although the pure bloodline of the Xuanyuan clan is very strong, it is not advantageous to have a single ancient bloodline when facing powerful enemies that may be encountered in the future. Therefore, an equally powerful bloodline should be added for interbreeding. What I mean is, you should marry into the Xuanyuan clan, marry their Holy Maiden, and produce offspring with a stronger bloodline."

"What the f*ck!"

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but want to spit in its face.

Marry in? Marry the Xuanyuan clan's Holy Maiden? Marry?

He really wanted to take off his shoe and slap the Sword Spirit's face!

"Boy, you seem unwilling?" The Sword Spirit said in a deep voice, "The Xuanyuan clan is an imperial clan. Their Holy Maiden is a direct descendant of the Great Emperor! Being able to marry in, how many lifetimes of good fortune and merit would you have to burn incense for? You don't thank me, and you still look aggrieved?"

"Give me a break. How could a dignified man like me marry in? Using the word 'marry' is truly the ultimate humiliation for a man!" Jun Wuxie glanced at it and said, "I have to say, your idea is really wicked, but unfortunately, your wish can't be fulfilled, hahaha!"

"What do you mean? You brat, are you trying to go back on your word? Do you think you can go back on your word in front of me? I can suppress you at any time until you marry into the Xuanyuan clan! And no one in the Xuanyuan clan would dare to disobey my will. Boy, face reality. Don't struggle in vain, hehe."

The Sword Spirit had a smug tone, especially the last laugh, which sounded very despicable no matter how you listened to it.

"You still want to suppress me?" Jun Wuxie was immediately amused and said, "I cultivate the Mortal World Sword Art and have gained the approval of Emperor Xuanyuan. Do you want to disobey the Great Emperor?"

"A bet is a bet. That's what you said yourself."

The Sword Spirit was as steady as Mount Tai, speaking unhurriedly.

"Yes, a bet is a bet, and that's what you said too."

Jun Wuxie's lips curled into a smile. He opened the Eternal Life Divine Palace, and a large tree instantly appeared in the air, its crown full of crystal-clear green leaves, bearing some fruit, and filled with the aura of origin.

"The Little World Tree... Where are the corpses? How did the corpses disappear?!"

The Sword Spirit was incomparably shocked, and its sword body trembled slightly.

Its voice revealed an unbelievable tone.

"Of course, they were perfectly dealt with by me. So, a bet is a bet. What else do you have to say?"

Jun Wuxie looked at it playfully.

"Impossible, this is impossible!" The Sword Spirit muttered repeatedly in a very agitated manner, "Impossible, absolutely impossible..."

"The facts are right in front of you. What's impossible?"

Jun Wuxie looked at its trembling sword body. This fellow wouldn't really want to go back on his word, would he?

"The Great Emperor couldn't do it. How did you do it?"

"Heavenly and martial, I have my own clever plans, which cannot be told to others."

Jun Wuxie had a profound and unpredictable expression.

Sword Spirit: ...

It felt a little like slapping the young man in front of him. Looking at his smug appearance, it was really too deserving of a beating!

It was more shocked in its heart!

A young man in the Sovereign Realm, how did he do it?

Could it be that he had an item above the Heavenly Emperor level that could isolate the Ancestor of Darkness's perception?

Perhaps, that was the only explanation!

It had to re-examine this young man. He actually had a Heavenly Emperor weapon?

What was his background? Could it be that a certain Heavenly Emperor was reborn with the weapon of his previous life?

"So, you lost. You promised me a condition. You won't go back on your word, will you?"

Jun Wuxie didn't feel like staying here and shocking it.

"Don't worry, three chances, I will satisfy you. What do you want me to do? Do you want me to level a certain sect? Just say the word, and I'll destroy it immediately."

The Sword Spirit was actually very unwilling in its heart. Who was it? A dignified imperial weapon Sword Spirit, actually losing to a young man, and even being controlled by a young man in the Sovereign Realm. This made it very difficult to accept.

However, it couldn't say words that would break the promise. It still remembered what the young man had said before, that going back on one's word was worse than a pig or a dog...

Damn brat, he was tricking it the whole time!

Jun Wuxie was speechless after hearing this.

This fellow was too fierce. He wanted to level people's sects at every turn. How was he even more ruthless than him?

He thought for a while and said, "If I asked you to level a forbidden zone, could you do it?"

The Sword Spirit didn't speak.

"What, weren't you very confident just now? A forbidden zone in a low-level world, has it scared you, the imperial weapon Sword Spirit? You're too cowardly, aren't you?"

"Brat, you don't know anything!" The Sword Spirit said in a deep voice, "Low-level world? Although this world is low-level, in the endless years, it has produced many figures who amazed the long river of time. They all became Emperors later! This universe is filled with Emperor-level order. The level of cultivation civilization is very low, but the universe is very strong and difficult to destroy!"

Jun Wuxie was shocked in his heart upon hearing this.

This universe was so powerful? It had produced more than just Emperor Xuanyuan?

But he was very puzzled: "What does this have to do with the forbidden zone?"

"Do you know why only this ancient star of life has forbidden zones in this world? Because this is the Emperor's Beginning Star, it is the most special! Those forbidden zones seem to be in this world, but they actually belong to a special time and space. The existences dormant inside are stronger than you can imagine!"

"How strong?"

Jun Wuxie's heart skipped a beat.

"It's hard to say how strong they are, but what is certain is that even if a Great Emperor were to enter the forbidden zone, he would have to lose half his life! You want me to level the forbidden zone, I'm afraid the forbidden zone won't be leveled, and I'll end up with a sword remnant spirit disappearing..."

"So strong?"

Jun Wuxie was completely stunned. He had a direct sense of how strong a Great Emperor was.

On that ship, at the end of the long river, the scene he saw clearly reappeared in his mind.

Great Emperor powerhouses, they could stroll leisurely in the endless sea of universes. With a flip of their hand, they could destroy thousands upon thousands of multi-dimensional universes!

Jun Wuxie didn't have a clear concept of how big a multi-dimensional universe was.

But he knew that the universe he currently lived in was already boundless, and the diameter of an ancient star of life was measured in units of billions of miles.

And a multi-dimensional universe was a existence composed of a number of universes like the sands of the Ganges!

"Otherwise, what did you think?" The Sword Spirit said, "Those two major forbidden zones should be races that survived the flood of that great extinction countless years ago and ran here to take refuge. Being able to preserve the race's bloodline under such circumstances, there must be more than one Great Emperor in their clan! Therefore, entering the forbidden zone is courting death!"

"Could it be that they have special reasons for not being able to come out, so they have been dormant all this time?"

Jun Wuxie understood the horror of the restricted area and felt a suffocating pressure in his heart.

Now, what needs to be understood is whether the people in the restricted area cannot come to the outside world. Otherwise, if the Ancient Phoenix Sect or the Golden Ancient City really invite the people inside out, who can resist them except Ye Qingxue?

Moreover, even if Ye Qingxue can resist the existence of the restricted area, this universe will face a terrible disaster.

Emperor-level order can only protect the universe and some ancient life stars from destruction, but it cannot protect the living beings living here.

At that time, all of them would perish!

"This universe has restrictions. It is the order laid down by those powerful individuals who walked out of the long river of time and returned to this world after becoming emperors, making it so that this world only allows the release of power at the Half-Saint realm at most. If it is higher than this realm, it will be devoured by the order, and the realm will directly fall to Half-Saint. If the Great Emperor descends and releases Great Emperor-level power, it will be violently attacked by all Emperor-level orders!"

"So that's how it is..."

Jun Wuxie secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really chilled to the bone just now.

"Boy, you have to be careful. In the past long years, the restricted areas were dormant, and almost no one walked out of them. This life is different. They are very likely to be born, and people below the Saint Realm will walk out. If it is the younger generation, then they must be extremely dazzling geniuses, your formidable enemies!"

"Work hard, and take advantage of the time before they come out to improve your strength. Otherwise, with your current skills, even in a battle of the same rank, you will mostly die!"

"Then I would like to meet the geniuses in the restricted area!"

Although Jun Wuxie felt a huge pressure, his invincible belief would not waver.

In a battle of the same realm, he is confident that he is not weaker than others!

Of course, that excludes people with very high realms who deliberately suppress themselves to the same realm as him.

Because such people have walked very far on the path of cultivation, and the intensity of their talent growth has naturally increased. Even if the realm is suppressed, the intensity of growth will not decrease.

But there are exceptions, such as Ling Fei.

Her situation is relatively special. In order to suppress the Dark煞, she even sealed her own origin, which led to a decrease in the intensity of her talent.

"Boy, go do your thing." A wisp of sword intent flew out from the Xuanyuan Slashing God Sword and entered Jun Wuxie's brow. The sword spirit's voice came out: "You only need to communicate with this mark, and I will appear by your side. Remember, there are only three chances, I hope you cherish them."

Jun Wuxie nodded and stepped into the air.

He overlooked the city and quickly locked onto an area.

It was relatively close to the tower where the Xuanyuan Slashing God Sword was located, in the central area of the city, and there was an open space.

He decided to plant the Little World Tree here.

Now that the Little World Tree is free from the trouble of the ancient corpse, it can restrain its origin and change its size at will.

In the past, because it continued to purify the power of darkness, it had been releasing the aura of its origin, making it impossible to reduce its size.
