Back then, Jian Hongyi was just a young man in his early twenties with exceptional talent and innate ability. He reached the first rank at a young age and passed the test of the Sword Heart Pavilion, becoming the last disciple of the Sword Sect's leader.

Having received the sect leader's true teachings, Jian Hongyi's cultivation speed increased by leaps and bounds. In addition, his respect for his teachers and his unity with his fellow disciples made him a rising star among the younger generation.

Upon encountering such a promising disciple, the sect leader naturally intended to groom him as the next sect leader of the Sword Sect, and even betrothed his granddaughter Yan Wen'er to Jian Hongyi.

In January of the second year of the second century, alien races invaded. As the number one sect on the Spirit Pattern Continent, the Sword Sect naturally took the lead in protecting the continent and driving out the alien races!

However, the alien race was not only numerous but also powerful. In less than a month, most of the Spirit Pattern Continent was occupied by the alien race.

The entire continent was on the verge of collapse. Under the leadership of the Sword Sect Master, a million cultivators were gathered, ready to fight a final battle against the alien race.

That war was known as the greatest battle in the history of the Spirit Pattern Continent, a war that caused mountains to collapse, the earth to crack, and the sky to change color.

In the end, they still lost. The only good news was that the alien race was severely damaged, giving humanity a chance to catch its breath.

Of the million-strong army of cultivators, less than 20,000 remained. In that battle, Jian Hongyi's wife, Yan Wen'er, also perished, and her body was never found.

Jian Hongyi charged madly towards the alien army, wanting to avenge his beloved wife. The Sword Sect Master, who had just lost his granddaughter, could not allow his beloved disciple to die.

They knocked him unconscious and took him back to the Sword Sect. The Sword Sect Master knew that the Spirit Pattern Continent was in imminent danger, and in order to preserve the Sword Sect's legacy, he had no choice but to seal the Sword Sect in the dust.

The sect leader threw Jian Hongyi into the library and left a letter, admonishing Jian Hongyi that even for the sake of the Sword Sect's inheritance, he had to live well.

After doing all this, the sect leader, fearing that Jian Hongyi wouldn't live to see the day the ruins opened, also left him a celestial-grade pill, the "Ten Thousand Year Immortality Pill."

When Jian Hongyi woke up, he found that the Sword Sect had been sealed in this place. Overwhelmed with grief, Jian Hongyi was afraid that he would die before he could fulfill his master's wishes. After swallowing the Ten Thousand Year Immortality Pill, he sealed his memories. However, he suddenly thought that if there were any fellow disciples in the Sword Sect who had not died, he set a condition for the seal to be broken. As long as he saw sword energy, the seal would be automatically broken.

And so Jian Hongyi forgot everything, and because of the effects of the elixir of immortality, he lived a solitary life here for over ten thousand years.

Upon seeing the sword energy unleashed by Zhou Shu, long-forgotten memories flooded into Jian Hongyi's mind like a tidal wave.

Seeing Jian Hongyi crying so sadly, Zhou Shu also felt a little bad. He bowed to Jian Hongyi and prepared to turn around and leave.

"and many more……"

Upon seeing that Zhou Shu could actually use swordsmanship, Jian Hongyi also had the idea of ​​passing on his inheritance to Zhou Shu. He had lived long enough; ten thousand years was simply too long.

Upon hearing Jian Hongyi's voice, Zhou Shu stopped and became much more respectful towards him, as they were both heroes who had contributed to the Spirit Pattern Continent.

"Senior!" Zhou Shu bowed to Jian Hongyi again, "May I ask what guidance you have for me?"

Jian Hongyi waved his hand: "Take this sword manual and study it well, so as not to disgrace the Sword Sect!"

Zhou Shu's eyes widened. These were the most systematic methods for learning swordsmanship, exactly what Zhou Shu lacked.

"Then you?"

Jian Hongyi sighed deeply, "There's nothing left in this world for me to cherish. I'm going to see my master and Wen'er now!"

Seeing that Jian Hongyi was actually determined to die, Zhou Shu quickly tried to dissuade him, saying, "Senior, ten thousand years have passed now. Don't you want to see the changes on the continent?"

Upon hearing Zhou Shu's words, Jian Hongyi was taken aback: "Yes, I wonder what the continent is like now after the invasion of the alien races!"

Seeing that it was effective, Zhou Shu pressed on while the iron was hot, saying, "Senior, since your master wants you to restore the Sword Sect's prestige, if you die like this, you won't be able to explain it to your master when you go down to the underworld!"

Jian Hongyi frowned: "Then what do you suggest we do?"

Zhou Shu did not directly answer Jian Hongyi's question: "The situation on the mainland is currently turbulent, and I've heard that alien races have reappeared deep within the Lost Lands!"

Upon hearing "foreign race," Jian Hongyi immediately exuded an imposing aura without anger: "Another foreign race has appeared?"

“Hmm!” Zhou Shu nodded: “To be honest, senior, my master is currently defending the Lost Lands against the invasion of alien races.”

Seeing Zhou Shu nod, Jian Hongyi had no intention of staying any longer: "There are treasures left by the sect leaders of the past in the main hall. Since you are the successor of the Sword Sect that I have chosen, everything here is naturally for you. I will go to the Lost Land to take a look now!"

Before Zhou Shu could react, Jian Hongyi leaped into the air. Zhou Shu scratched the back of his head and chuckled to himself, "When the hell did I become a successor of the Sword Sect?"

After listening to Jian Hongyi's words, Zhou Shu put away the books here and hurriedly rushed towards the main hall. The treasures left by the sect leaders of the past generations must be very valuable!

When Zhou Shu arrived at the main hall, he was dumbfounded; it was already packed with people.

"We have to find a way!"

Zhou Shu's eyes darted around, and he took out a Heavenly Grade Marrow Cleansing Pill, crushed it in half, put it into a jade bottle, and summoned a shadow clone to immediately head to the library.

He then shouted, "Holy crap, the library actually has a top-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill!"

Wow~~~

At this moment, the main hall erupted into chaos because of Zhou Shu's words.

"What! A Heavenly Grade Marrow Cleansing Pill?"

"Go and have a look!"

The young men of the powerful families rushed toward the library like arrows. The Heavenly Grade Marrow Cleansing Pill was a strategic resource. Whoever managed to grab it might gain a first-grade expert for their family, and the status of the entire family would rise accordingly.

Compared to the disciples of the major families, these independent cultivators also flocked to the library. They weren't trying to snatch the Heavenly Grade Marrow Cleansing Pill; they were mainly there to watch the excitement.

"Where is the Heavenly Grade Marrow Cleansing Pill?!"

The library was found to be empty, clearly indicating that it had been ransacked.

"there!"

Murong Fang, who had only one arm, rushed out first. Although he had lost an arm, he was still very fast. He picked up the jade bottle, opened the stopper with one hand, and a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out.

"It really is a top-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill!"

At this moment, a figure jumped out and blocked Murong Fang's way: "Murong Fang, hand over the Heavenly Grade Marrow Cleansing Pill. I promise I won't kill you!"

"So it's Fang Hao from the Fang family!"

"I heard he's already a peak third-grade expert, and his physical body has been tempered to the level of a cauldron of power!"
