The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

"That's right, Palace Master Gai created a sword technique called the Nine Heavens Opening Swords using his sword."

He is known as the Sword Saint.

"This Nine Heavens Opening Blade Technique is still being perfected. Perhaps one day, it will truly be able to open the heavens with a single strike!"

Qi Tianchen nodded slightly and said with a serious expression, "And the last Palace Master Murong is..."

Seeing Qi Tianchen stop, Chu Xiu stared at him intently, his ears perked up, his heart filled with curiosity.

"Sword Emperor!"

"The Emperor of Swords!"

Qi Tianchen smiled slightly and said.

"The Emperor of Swords?"

Chu Xiu said with a look of surprise on his face.

"Indeed, the Emperor of Swords."

"Aren't you wondering why this is a title that just anyone can use?"

"Within the royal family of our Great Zhou Dynasty, there are two world-class martial arts manuals."

"A record of the world's most astonishing imperial power!"

"One of them is the Zhou Tian Yu Ji Sword Manual!"

"These two world-shaking martial arts techniques, if one can master just one of them, will make one a true supreme expert!"

"Both of these are true imperial martial arts."

"Only the emperors of our Great Zhou Dynasty have been allowed to cultivate this technique; even members of the royal family are not qualified to do so."

"The Imperial Supreme Record of World-Shaking Power has another name: The Thirty-Three Heavens Mandate of Heaven World-Suppressing Profound Technique!"

"These two martial arts manuals are led by the Imperial Supreme Record of World-Shaking Techniques, while the other manual, the Zhou Tian Imperial Sword Manual, is a pure sword technique, the true sword of the emperor, following the path of the emperor's sword!"

"Palace Master Murong has cultivated the Zhou Tian Yu Ji Sword Manual and served as the emperor of our Great Zhou Dynasty two hundred years ago."

"However, he was so sincere in his love for the sword that when he became emperor, he became the one who debated swordsmanship throughout the land."

"He became the true Sword Emperor."

Qi Tianchen pondered for a moment, then said with a solemn expression, "Because of his utmost sincerity towards the sword, Palace Master Murong only served as emperor for ten years before abdicating and entering the Imperial Palace."

Originally, because of Murong Palace Master's status, Nangong Palace Master was supposed to give up the position of Palace Master of the Royal Palace to Murong Palace Master.

However, since Lord Murong doesn't even want the throne, why would he want the position of Lord of the Royal Palace?

He entered the Royal Palace because he didn't want to get involved in affairs, so he could focus on cultivating his swordsmanship.

Therefore, the Palace Master of Nangong could only appoint Palace Master Murong as a nominal, uninvolved deputy palace master in the Imperial Palace.

"Palace Master Murong is quite an extraordinary person!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu's face showed admiration as he spoke.

He was willing to give up the throne, wanting only to devote himself to cultivating the way of the sword; wasn't he truly an extraordinary person?

No wonder he is called the Sword Emperor; he actually follows the Emperor's Sword Path.

"Now you should be able to believe that there won't be any problems, right?"

Qi Tianchen smiled gently and said to Chu Xiu.

"With the Imperial Advisor's guidance, I am no longer worried."

Chu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a look of relief.

"Do you know who the second person in our Great Zhou Dynasty, besides our founding Martial Emperor, was to cultivate the Imperial Extreme Record and the Zhou Tian Imperial Sword Manual?"

Qi Tianchen suddenly asked Chu Xiu.

"Is the Imperial Advisor referring to His Majesty?"

Chu Xiu's eyes narrowed, and he asked Qi Tianchen.

After all, Murong Si was the first female emperor since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Although Murong Si was exceptionally talented, there must have been other reasons why the late emperor chose her as the first female emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty instead of selecting one from among the princes.

In addition, Qi Tianchen suddenly asked him this question.

Even the Sword Emperor Murong Nantian only cultivated the Zhou Tian Yu Ji Sword Manual, which means that he definitely did not learn the Huang Ji Jing Shi Lu, or was unable to cultivate the Huang Ji Jing Shi Lu.

"That's right, it's His Majesty."

"Your Majesty's talent and intelligence are the best in the world."

"Even I am ashamed of my own inferiority."

Qi Tianchen said with an amazed expression, "However, now, in our Great Zhou Dynasty, there is a second person whose talent and ability are no less than His Majesty's."

"Is the Imperial Advisor referring to me?"

Chu Xiu touched his nose and said.

"Otherwise, who do you think I'm talking about, my lord?"

"When you became the Commander of the Northern Garrison, you hadn't even set foot in the martial arts world, had you?"

"When I first met you, my lord, you had not even stepped into the Celestial Realm."

"As a result, from not cultivating martial arts to reaching the Celestial Realm, and now, Lord Marquis should have already stepped into the Earthly Immortal Realm, right?"

"How much time has it been?"

"His Majesty possesses the accumulated resources of our Great Zhou Dynasty's royal family and has cultivated the most supreme martial arts in the world."

"Your talent and aptitude are unparalleled, but Your Majesty should only have just stepped into the Earth Immortal Realm."

"And how long did it take for the Marquis to catch up with His Majesty?"

"If His Majesty's talent can be described as unparalleled in the world, then the Marquis's talent is probably unmatched in the entire world!"

Qi Tianchen glanced at Chu Xiu and said quietly.

"Cough cough..."

Chu Xiu coughed, looking at Qi Tianchen with curiosity, and changed the subject, saying, "Grand Preceptor, you said His Majesty is at the Earth Immortal Realm?"

Even though he possesses the ability to observe qi, no one can hide anything from his eyes.

Regardless of one's cultivation level or whether one has mastered the art of concealing one's breath.

He can see right through them.

but!

The only one he could never see through was Murong Si.

He guessed that it was because Murong Si was protected by the dragon aura of the Great Zhou Dynasty that he was able to see through Murong Si's cultivation level.

Now that he knew Murong Si's cultivation level, he was naturally extremely curious.

In fact, Chu Xiu had long suspected that Murong Si's cultivation level might have already reached the Earth Immortal realm.

After all, the two female officials beside Murong Si, Pei Guanyin and Jiang Wan'er, had already reached the Human Immortal Realm in terms of cultivation.

Pei Guanyin is at the peak of the first level of the Human Immortal Realm.

Jiang Wan'er is at the Lesser Completion of the Second Stage of the Human Immortal Realm.

In terms of cultivation level alone, Pei Guanyin is inferior to Jiang Wan'er.

However, the two of them were chosen by the late emperor to be Murong Si's two maids and were trained with the best resources.

This alone is enough to show that their talents and aptitudes must have reached the highest level in the world.

"Indeed, His Majesty should have reached the realm of immortals."

"Although I cannot see through His Majesty's cultivation level, I guess that His Majesty has at least reached the seventh level of the Earth Immortal Realm."

"It's even possible that they've reached the peak of the ninth level of the Earth Immortal Realm, and might even take this opportunity to step into the Heavenly Immortal Realm."

Qi Tianchen nodded slightly and said.

"..."

Chu Xiu stared blankly at Qi Tianchen.

He knew that Murong Si had extraordinary talent and aptitude.

However, he did not expect that Murong Si's cultivation level had reached such a terrifying level.

Are you a human?

Could it be that Murong Si has also cheated?

Otherwise, it wouldn't be scientific!

Even if she started cultivating from the womb, Murong Si's cultivation level couldn't possibly have increased so quickly!

"Does Your Excellency find this very abnormal?"

"My lord, you are mistaken. Can you guess why powerful families, even holy sects, are all making moves?"

"Why do they all want to rebel and seize the throne?"

"If it were just powerful families, that would be normal, but why would a holy land-level sect get involved?"

Qi Tianchen gave Chu Xiu a deep look and said meaningfully.

"Please enlighten me, Imperial Advisor!"

Chu Xiu stood up abruptly, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Qi Tianchen, and said with a sincere expression.
