Chapter 926 The Ancient Sword Immortal's Legacy (Part 1)
Lingzhen Daoist hesitated for a moment.

Yes.

What are you doing here in these mountains for no reason?
They say they're visiting relatives and friends, but which princess has such monster relatives and demon friends?

Should I tell the truth? But if I do, the devil in front of me might change even more.

"Since you are a master swordsman, have you ever heard of Huai Taisu?"

Huai Taisu?

Su Che naturally knew that among the pile of Sword Palace classics that Kong Kong'er had sent before, there were famous works such as "A Brief Discussion on the Mysteries of the Seventy-Two Swords by Huai Taisu".

This Huai Taisu is an ancient sword immortal, one of the founders of the East Sea Sword Palace. Legend has it that he is the reincarnation of the ancient White Emperor, and his three ultimate techniques of cutting the heavens and earth dominate this world, making him invincible.

He even created the so-called "Great Yin Yang Sword Intent," making him a highly respected and timeless figure among sword immortals.

If that were all, then so be it.

Others may not know, but Su Che knows it very well.

The "Tai Xuan Liang Yi Wei Chen Sword" that Huai Tai Su once used to dominate this world is on Princess Ning An's person. This is a legacy that is enough to make the hearts of the world tremble.

"Legend has it that before the senior Huai Taisu established the East Sea Sword Palace, he and several friends lived in seclusion in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, leaving behind a cave dwelling..."

Princess Ning'an looked at Su Che with neither arrogance nor servility.

"We disciples have made some progress..."

"Hahahahaha..."

Jin Yunu burst into laughter, leaning close to Su Che, her laughter radiant.

"Such news is only believed by people from the Central Plains. Such immortal cave dwellings, the relics of our ancestors, have been lost for thousands of years. How many people have been willing to leave behind only broken bricks and tiles?"

Jin Yunu's words are an irrefutable truth in the cultivation world: the so-called legacy of predecessors rarely lasts more than three hundred years. This is because within three hundred years, there will inevitably be great supernatural beings who will seek out the legacy. Since these people are not far removed from the era of the great supernatural beings who left the legacy, they have both clues and means, and it is also easy for them to obtain it.

Centuries later, the past has become unverifiable legends, and the traditions of the past have vanished without a trace.

Just like the East Sea Sword Palace today, although it can be said to have inherited the mantle of Huai Taisu and has successors in every generation, it is unclear which sword technique is the direct descendant of Huai Taisu, and what kind of legacy this reincarnation of the White Emperor left behind...

These have long since become a murky mess that is difficult to unravel.

"To be honest, I possess a sword technique here that was personally taught to me by the senior Huai Taisu..."

"Oh?"

Jin Yunu raised an eyebrow.

"By chance, I learned a remnant of the Tai Xuan Liang Yi Wei Chen Sword from the secret techniques of the palace."

"The Two Elements Dust Sword?"

Upon hearing of such sword techniques, even Jin Yunu hesitated for a moment.

The reason is simply that this sword technique is too famous. Back then, Huai Taisu used this sword to roam the world, and there were at least ten Earth Immortals and Dharma Lords who died under its blade. It was truly awe-inspiring and earned the title of the Three Perfections of Heaven.

"About a few months ago, I sensed that a secret weapon that matched the sword intent had appeared in the Hundred Thousand Mountains."

"A sword mind that is clear and in harmony with heaven and earth?"

Su Che asked.

Among the various schools and sects, sword cultivators don't elaborate much on the method of deduction, but they do have their own secret skills, one of which is the so-called "sword heart clarity".

With a clear and discerning sword mind, constantly reflecting inward, sword cultivators can sense people or events that may be related to them in the future.

Those with deeper cultivation can even actively communicate with heaven and earth to seek infinite possibilities in the future.

"Exactly."

Princess Ning'an said quietly.

"I wonder if you, senior, are interested in the legacy of this previous sword immortal?"

Huai Taisu.

Su Che thought for a moment.

This sword immortal's reputation is too great, and he is also known as the reincarnation of the White Emperor.

Strangely enough, among the Five Emperors of the Five Directions, the "reincarnations" or "shadows" of the Azure Emperor Lingwei Yang are numerous, while the remaining four are not well-known. Only Huai Taisu is truly recognized by the world and there are indeed traceable records of his existence.

"If it really is related to the previous generation of sword immortals..."

Su Che's eyes flashed between the two people beside Princess Ning'an.

"Your helpers are not enough. I've heard that your Great Liang also has a few decent Bu Xu cultivators. If you bring one or two out to take charge, perhaps there will be a chance."

Xie Luzhen and Lingzhen Daogu were both at the Core Formation stage. Such a level might be passable in the Central Plains, but in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, where the grand scheme of the previous generation of sword immortals was involved, they wouldn't even make a ripple.

"Senior, you may not know this, but our Great Liang is now in dire straits, with powerful ministers holding the reins of power. Although I am a noblewoman from the imperial family, I have no other help." Princess Ning'an did not finish her sentence.

"Ning An dares to request that you, sir, make a move..."

"Ha, little girl, you're really spouting nonsense. Do you even know what kind of people we are?"

Jin Yunu let out a cold laugh.

"Our Longevity Sect is based in the southern part of the world and is a descendant of the ancient Heavenly Court. Now it is a branch of the Northern Yuan Palace. This Yang Sui Yang Sect Master is favored by the Lord of the End of Dharma. Why should we risk the wrath of the Xuandu Palace to help you, a mere Central Plains dynasty?"

What Jin Yunu said was the truth.

The resources of the Central Plains cannot be said to be dispensable to cultivators throughout the world.

Putting aside everything else, the population alone has immense significance for all parties. The Wanling Sect would not try to plunder so many people from the Central Plains, nor would there be so many powerful families in the Central Plains engaging in the buying and selling of people.

However, the benefits of the Central Plains are a hot potato for the truly powerful dragons crossing the river.

The Xuandu Palace is high above, and it does not allow magic power above the second rank to appear. There is also the inexplicable fate in the dark.

Throughout history, countless powerful figures have perished in China, and among them were undoubtedly many exceptionally talented individuals.

The Central Plains are both a land of nameless heroes and a graveyard for heroes.

"You all should take care of yourselves."

Su Che smiled coldly.

"I have long admired the Shadow Sword. If I have the time in the future, I hope to explore the mysteries of the sword. I have also met the sword immortal of Jade Sun Mountain a few times."

As he spoke, Su Che took out three boxes from his sleeve, gave them a gentle shake, and they fell into the arms of the three people in front of him.

"Here are a few pills called the Nether Lock Five Dragons Pill. They are somewhat beneficial to those who have reached the Rejuvenation Pill stage. If you don't need them, you can exchange them for some fruit. It would be a token of my respect as an elder."

Su Che then waved his hand and said.

"We met by chance on the roadside, and our acquaintance is only half-formed. Take good care of yourselves."

After saying this, Su Che had already ridden the wind away, and Jin Yunu laughed for a moment before also turning into the wind and following him.

"This Senior Yang doesn't seem to be a member of the demonic path."

After the two had walked away, Xie Luzhen gently opened the box. Inside was a dark pill, seemingly covered with a layer of fine golden scales. As soon as the box was opened, a medicinal fragrance wafted out, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort.

"The heroes of the demonic path are naturally not people who are hated by men and ghosts. They all have extraordinary appearances. The fact that the Longevity Sect was able to rise in Tiannan after the great chaos was mostly due to this person."

Lingzhen Daoist sighed deeply. Compared to the demonic sects suppressed by such outstanding figures, life on Yuyang Mountain was not easy. Intrigues and backstabbing were constant within the sect, and all sorts of rumors were rampant.

"Unwavering perseverance and rigorous training—this is the true path to mastering the sword."

Princess Ning'an smiled gently.

"Gentlemen, let's continue forward."

The three of them moved forward one by one, slowly making their way into the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

However, not far behind them, a long sword resembling an insect suddenly appeared. It gently shook its four wings and quickly disappeared again.

"You really have the heart to part with the treasures left behind by Huai Taisu."

Jin Yunu hugged Su Che's arm tightly.

"My Lord, why don't you just seduce that Princess Ning'an and take away her opportunity?"

"Didn't you say that most of the so-called treasures left over from previous generations are just fictitious things?"

"I was just teasing her. If that princess really believed there was a treasure, would she share any of the benefits with others? But I don't know if this girl is really stupid or just pretending. She dared to release such important information."

"Those people have never seen the dangers of the martial world; they only know that the martial world is about magnanimity."

Su Che smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I've already made arrangements. We'll know if she makes any unusual moves. We'll deal with Nongyue first, and then we can deal with her slowly later."

"My brother, you are such a bad person."

Jin Yunu was overjoyed upon hearing this, while Su Che remained noncommittal.

The Huai Taisu ruins that have sprung up out of the ground look exactly like the work of Zhongyuan and Zhongshan Society.

There's probably some huge pit buried inside.

The two rode the wind, and not far ahead they saw a demonic aura soaring into the sky, transforming into a blue rainbow in the air, shifting erratically, like a divine dragon whose head and tail could not be seen.

"This is the residence of the Ironback Dragon King. I wonder what the Sect Leader's intentions are?"

"Watch my moves."

Su Che reached out and gently patted Jin Yunu's buttocks, then took out a gourd from his sleeve.
