Chapter 247 The Origin of the Emperor's Sword
Since ancient times, when people talk about the Emperor's Sword, countless magnificent stories will emerge in their minds.
It has witnessed the rise and fall of dynasties, the glory and disgrace of disputes, and is like a witness of history and the embodiment of legend.
Whether in Ning Jiasheng's past life or in the present, the legend of the Emperor's Sword has never ceased. These legends are often shrouded in strange mystery and seem absurd.
However, without exception, in various legends, those who can wield the Emperor's Sword must possess the outstanding qualities of an emperor.
The version that Ning Jiasheng had heard most in his previous life was the Emperor's Sword forged by the swordsmith Yu Gong during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
This sword draws six metals from the southern summer heat to represent the sky, and six metals from the northern extreme cold to represent the earth. Heaven and earth intertwine and cannot reconcile. This sword thrusts forward with unstoppable force. Raised high, nothing can reach it. Pressed downward, it breaks through everything. Swung with a vengeance, it can rend clouds above and sever the veins of the earth below. Once wielded, this sword can align the feudal lords, unrivaled in the world, bringing the world together. Hence the name "Sword of the Son of Heaven."
Interestingly, King Zhuang of Chu, Duke Mu of Qin and others who once held this sword eventually died by the sword for various reasons.
So, I don’t know when it started, but there has gradually been a saying that the Emperor’s Sword can not only help people dominate the world, but also warn those in high positions to follow the will of heaven, shoulder their due responsibilities, and take the world as their own responsibility. Only in this way can they be worthy of wielding the Emperor’s Sword. As the saying goes, the benevolent are invincible.
Most of the time, it is not just a simple weapon, but also an emphasis on an idea, a symbol of power, justice and glory.
There are also countless rumors about the Emperor's Sword on the Cangming Continent. The most widely known version is almost the same as the real situation that Ning Jiasheng received in his mind.
It is different from the previous sword. The Emperor's Sword on the Cangming Continent was not forged by human power, but was formed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and was nurtured by the supreme laws between heaven and earth.
According to legend, in ancient times when the floating world and the world of cultivation had not yet been separated, the four races of humans, immortals, demons and monsters were constantly fighting each other. As the weakest of the four races, humans were constantly defeated and almost reached the point of extinction.
At this moment, the stars in the sky above the continent suddenly moved, and a divine stone fell from the sky to the top of Kunlun Mountain.
After being baptized by thunder and lightning for forty-nine days, this divine stone finally condensed into the shape of a sword.
Its entire body is radiant, with faint star patterns on the sword body and ancient dragon patterns carved on the hilt, emitting an awe-inspiring aura.
The sword contains the power of heaven and earth, which can cause changes in the wind and clouds, summon thunder and lightning, and even control the flow of time and space.
After the sword was born, the three races of immortals, demons and monsters sensed the appearance of the divine weapon and immediately swarmed to the top of Kunlun Mountain and put all their efforts into snatching it away.
At that time, every inch of land on Kunlun Mountain was dyed red with the blood of the three tribes. However, after reaching the top of the mountain, no living creature could get close to the sword.
Especially the brutal and cunning demons, once they approached, they would be driven away by the vast sword energy. If those who reached the top were not the best among the demons, the demons who went out this time would probably be wiped out.
The situation was deadlocked for several months, and finally everyone had to accept their fate and retreat to their territory to continue fighting for the territory, leaving only the sword on the top of the mountain waiting for its destined person.
Several years passed like this, and countless people tried to find it, but none of them succeeded.
At the same time, the battle between the four tribes became more and more chaotic. The human race was killed and only scattered tribes remained, each following their leader in hiding.
One of the larger tribes was forced into the extremely dangerous area of Kunlun Mountain by coincidence, and temporarily got a chance to breathe.
At this point in the story, as everyone has guessed, the leader of this tribe was named Ji Yao.
After Ji Yao entered Kunlun Mountain and settled the old and young, he led several young and middle-aged men out to find food. He got separated from the others and accidentally entered a mysterious place.
There he encountered countless monsters and demonic beasts, his weapons were shattered, and he escaped after a narrow escape of death.
On the way back, Ji Yao still remembered the promise he made when he came out, and tried his best to find food, but found nothing.
At this time, he saw a lot of rare Jianmu trees around, so he changed his mind and decided to take them back to make some weapons for his tribe.
However, Jianmu is rare precisely because it is one of the hardiest tree species on the continent.
Ji Yao not only had nothing in his hands, but was also injured. Half a day passed and he had to use all his strength to finally break off a branch from the tree.
Just when he was feeling a little depressed, a bright light flashed in the distance. He pushed aside the branches and looked carefully, and saw a sword lying on the ground in the distance - a tattered and chipped broken sword.
Ji Yao's eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't dislike the sword at all. Suddenly, his whole body seemed to be injected with strength. He went down as nimbly as a monkey and picked up the sword.
He used the broken sword to chop down trees, and finally cut down a Jianmu tree at sunset. He followed the direction and returned to the place where his people were when it got dark.
Seeing him come back alive, everyone finally put their minds at ease.
After a simple rest for one night, Ji Yao immediately took his men to cut more Jianmu the next day.
Because although they have temporarily escaped the chaos of the outside world, there are still many dangerous monsters in Kunlun Mountain. They must make some preparations to allow more people to survive.
However, God did not give Ji Yao and his group much time to rest. They soon encountered a demon army that was several times larger than their own.
The demon army was also surprised. They didn't expect to encounter a group of humans here.
In particular, when they recognized that the leader was Ji Yao, who had caused a lot of trouble to the demons in various battles before, the demon leader did not start a war immediately, but ordered the demons to surround everyone and admire the despair on their faces.
The demon looked Ji Yao up and down, then waved his hand and ordered the demons below to start the massacre.
The demons around them surged towards the crowd like a tide, and in an instant, the already dim sky became even darker.
Ji Yao knew very well that everyone would die here today, so before that, they had no choice but to kill a few more demons to avoid suffering such a loss.
Everyone had the same idea, so when the demons rushed over, everyone miraculously calmed down, gripped their weapons tightly, and rushed forward with a desperate glint in their eyes.
Ji Yao took the lead with the sword in hand. At the moment when he and the demon leader came into contact with each other, the broken sword suddenly burst out with a brilliant light, and then the rust on the sword quickly faded away. The sword body was repaired in the blink of an eye. The terrifying power knocked the leader away, and the demons with the lowest cultivation level all disappeared in an instant.
Both sides were shocked by this sudden change. Ji Yao and the demon leader were the first to come to their senses. The demon roared and rushed over again.
But this demon failed to tear Ji Yao into pieces as he had imagined. The sword flashed again, and before he felt the pain, his head fell to the ground.
The surrounding demons finally came to their senses at this moment, and lost their minds, rushing towards Ji Yao like enraged beasts. However, they were still like moths to a flame and were destroyed in an instant.
When the battle subsided, people from the outside world also arrived one after another. Seeing Ji Yao in the center who looked like a Shura in the world, the representatives of the immortals and demons couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
Ji Yao refused to join the two tribes and led his people away. With the help of this sword, he successfully seized a territory of his own and protected his people.
This move undoubtedly made the struggle between the various forces more chaotic, and more and more human beings turned to Ji Yao for refuge.
Seeing that the weakest human race also came to get a piece of the pie and was gradually growing stronger, the other three races finally couldn't hold back and came up with a sinister and vicious plan at the same time.
That is - first wipe out the human race, then talk about other things.
As a result, the largest battle in history broke out on the continent - the Battle of Muye.
In the end, the conspiracy of the three tribes failed, Ji Yao became emperor, and established the status of the human race as one of the four major races on the continent.
After that, this sword was named "Son of Heaven's Sword" by Ji Yao. Emperors of all dynasties regarded it as a national treasure. As time passed, it gradually disappeared in the long river of history.
