[Emperor Yuanwu has three great magical treasures, two immortal family divine swords and one divine power Dharma flag.]

[One of the two divine swords is the Dark Heaven Demon-Subduing Sword, which is Emperor Yuanwu’s personal sword. It is incomparably sharp and filled with awe-inspiring sword intent, an excellent weapon and divine sword.]

[The second divine sword is even more remarkable, named Northern Black Galloping Scaled-Horn Demon-Severing Male Sword. Only when Emperor Yuanwu faced powerful enemies would He use this divine sword.]

[Once this divine sword is unsheathed, all evil submits and the masses of demons retreat. No one dares test its edge.]

[That divine power Dharma flag is also extraordinary, named Yuanwu Black Eagle Flag. It possesses the divine power to cover the heavens and obscure the sun, making heaven and earth hazy. Once the Dharma flag is unfurled, it can conceal the sun, moon, and stars, trapping enemies within the turn of a palm.]

[All three magical treasures are extremely powerful. No matter which one you obtained, this trip was not in vain!]

[Now quickly tell Him, which treasure did you obtain?]

[Lu Wu’s expression is slightly excited, as if the preciousness of those three magical treasures makes even Him somewhat envious.]

“This… why is what Lu Wu said completely different from what I analyzed with Analysis Authority?”

The Dharma sword held by the Emperor Yuanwu divine image should be that Northern Black Galloping Scaled-Horn Demon-Severing Male Sword. Its function was more or less the same as the answer analyzed by Analysis Authority.

But that Dharma flag, Yuanwu Black Eagle Flag, was completely different from what Analysis Authority had analyzed.

Of Emperor Yuanwu’s three great magical treasures, he only saw two. The other Dark Heaven Demon-Subduing Sword seemed to have no fate with him, so it did not appear.

Moreover, Lu Wu did not mention anything like the wooden ritual clapper at all, making Lin Xun’s heart gradually sink.

[You take out Received Decree Divine Edge Suppression Altar Wood, present it to Lu Wu for appraisal, and tell Him this is what you chose from the three treasures…]

[Lu Wu sees you take out an ordinary and unremarkable suppression altar wood, exactly the same as the wooden ritual clapper used by ordinary Daoist priests during rituals.]

[He holds the suppression altar wood and fiddles with it back and forth, but does not discover anything strange, nor does He recall Emperor Yuanwu having a similar magical treasure or immortal item.]

[He immediately looks speechless, His eyes as if saying, Are you joking with me?]

[Lu Wu says with both regret and frustration at your failure, ah, you clearly had fate with two great magical treasures, the Demon-Severing Male Sword and the Black Eagle Flag. Why did you have to choose this wooden ritual clapper?]

[This wooden ritual clapper is only an ordinary ritual implement, no different from the incense burner you saw.]

[Looking at Lu Wu’s expression, He seems to have almost said, You don’t want divine grade artifacts, you just like picking up trash, right?]

[The White Elephant Demon beside you also shakes its head regretfully and says, junior brother, there was once a tremendous opportunity placed before you, but you did not cherish it. Only after losing it do you regret it too late. Among human suffering, nothing is greater than this…]

Lin Xun did not know what expression he should put on. Perhaps at this kind of time, simply smiling would be best.

A gambling dog was a gambling dog. Gamble until the very end, and nothing remained.

[Seeing your forced smile, Lu Wu knows you are somewhat disappointed. He pats your shoulder and comforts you, do not lose heart. There are still two treasure mountains afterward.]

[With the depth of your fortune and fate, as long as you brighten your eyes and stop choosing things that do not look like magical treasures at first glance, there should not be any more mistakes.]

[Go…]

[Lu Wu waves His hand and is just about to send you to the next treasure mountain, but suddenly stops.]

[He frowns and thinks for a long time. Seeing your puzzled face, He says that He seems to remember some rumored events.]

[Wait here for a moment first. After He goes to browse the classics and confirm, He will return and explain it to you.]

[As He speaks, Lu Wu hurries toward the temporary palace, leaving you and the White Elephant Demon looking at each other…]

[The White Elephant Demon scratches its head and says, junior brother, why can you still go to the next treasure mountain? Isn’t there only one chance per person?]

[You roll your eyes and reply, there was once a tremendous opportunity placed before me, but I did not cherish it. Yet afterward, I can still encounter two more tremendous opportunities.]

[Among human suffering, nothing is greater than seeing someone else crash into opportunities while you can only wear a dudou…]

[Hearing this, the White Elephant Demon’s face turns red. It grits its teeth and says, what it is wearing is a kasaya! A kasaya! It is not some dudou…]

[…]

[After you and Senior Brother White Elephant bicker for a while, you see Lu Wu hurry back again.]

[He says to you that He searched the classics and finally found definite records.]

[Before Emperor Yuanwu attained the Dao and became an immortal, His birth was very extraordinary. He was the crown prince of a small mortal kingdom.]

[When the Great Emperor was fifteen years old, He gained insight in His heart and was unwilling to inherit the throne. Instead, His will aligned with learning the Dao. He wished to serve the Supreme Emperor and bring universal blessing to the common people. Later, He headed to remote mountains and secluded valleys to seek cultivation methods.]

[The Great Emperor built a Three Pure Ones Temple deep in the mountains and cultivated in the temple every day, carving statues of the Dao Ancestor with a sword. This was both to deeply study sword arts and to show His sincere heart.]

[The Great Emperor’s cultivation moved Yu Qing Holy Ancestor Purple Void Primordial Lady, who was also an incarnation of the Dao Ancestor, and She taught Him supreme sword arts and Dao techniques…]

[Emperor Yuanwu cultivated for forty-two years. Auspicious clouds descended from the heavens, and He ascended in broad daylight, achieving the Dao as a Golden Immortal.]

[According to the records in the classics, before ascending in broad daylight, the Great Emperor carved His own pinnacle sword seal cultivation method onto an object within the temple, leaving it for a fated one of later generations to cultivate and carry forward.]

[However, at that time, there were too many Three Pure Ones Temples in the world to count. Later people also had no way to search for it, so they treated the records in the classics as an illusory legend and gradually forgot it…]

[At this point, Lu Wu looks at you with bright eyes.]

[You immediately react and take out Received Decree Divine Edge Suppression Altar Wood again, examining with Lu Wu whether this suppression altar wood is carved with the sword seal cultivation method.]

[On top of the suppression altar wood, the prophecy-bone characters Ten Thousand Gods All Listen are carved. On the front and back ends, the four trigrams qian, kun, kan, and li are carved. The carving strokes are like dragons swimming and snakes moving, their sharpness fully revealed. If carefully observed, one can feel an aura of sharp sword intent.]

[However, although one can sense that the person who carved this item was a great sword immortal, neither you nor Lu Wu finds any sword seal cultivation method.]

[Lu Wu ponders for a moment and says, if the records in the classics are correct, Emperor Yuanwu wanted to find a fated one to pass down His own supreme sword Dao.]

[He, Lu Wu, is not proficient in sword Dao, so He definitely cannot count as a fated one. And since you can enter Yuanwu Temple, that means you have fate with Emperor Yuanwu.]

[If even you cannot see a cultivation method hidden on this item, then it means this wooden ritual clapper is not the inheritance object of the Great Emperor’s sword Dao…]

Hearing this, Lin Xun immediately awakened. He decisively switched the Shell he possessed.

[You possess the Shell of Desire-Bearing Greedy Wolf Star Lord!]

[You instantly transform into a sword immortal in fluttering white robes, holding a Seven-Star Sword.]

[When you look again at the Received Decree Divine Edge Suppression Altar Wood in your hand, the four prophecy-bone characters Ten Thousand Gods All Listen drift uncertainly and turn into countless tiny words…]

[Lu Wu and the White Elephant Demon around you both disappear. The entire Kunlun Mountain also undergoes an earth-shaking change, transforming into the clouds of the nine heavens.]

[In a daze, countless evil demons surge mightily up into the nine heavens’ heavenly realm, demonic qi rushing to the skies, and the heavens filled with filthy black blood light!]

[You are also one of those countless evil demons, following the army of evil demons as they roar ferociously and kill their way into the heavenly realm.]

[Suddenly, a black-clothed person with loose hair and bare feet comes forth with a sword.]

[He holds the divine sword carved with the two words Sever Demon, overlooking the countless evil beings and masses of demons beneath His feet. Then He releases a breath with a shout and slashes out with one sword…]

[The sharp sword radiance comes from far to near, changing from sharp and tiny sword light into vast, majestic sword light that soars into the heavens!]

[Before the surging sword light even reaches them, countless evil demons are annihilated into ash and smoke under the endless sword intent, crushed into powder!]

[The nine heavens are completely occupied by this heaven-opening sword light. Wherever your eyes reach, you can no longer see any evil demons in your field of vision, only that sword light that cuts down all things attacking toward you!]

[You too, like the countless evil demons, are helplessly cut until your soul flies apart and scatters.]

[The black-clothed person’s single sword ends the calamity and sweeps away all evil and demons!]

[You abruptly come back to your senses, only to see the White Elephant Demon’s large face close at hand, its palm waving continuously before your eyes.]

[When you look again at the suppression altar wood in your hand, the small wooden ritual clapper has already turned into fine powder, slipping and scattering from between your fingers like sand…]

[You have comprehended the Shell Skill North Pole Dark Heaven Final Kalpa Demon-Sweeping Sword Technique (Special Skill)!]
