Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 233, Towering Ship

Upon hearing these three words, Zhu Qianqiu’s face turned deathly pale; this name was truly too shocking.

Sword Demon Ancient Sword Peak!

In the Celestial Realm, this name is considered a legend. Regardless of whether they are True Dao or Demon Dao powerhouses, all hold him in great respect and fear. Many dreaded demonic heads would immediately flee upon encountering him, fearing being slain!

Zhu Qianqiu never expected to accidentally encounter Sword Demon Ancient Sword Peak today. Ancient Sword Peak is the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Celestial Travel Sect. It’s said his strength has long reached the invincible Guiyuan Realm.

"Father, are you alright?"

At this moment, other Demon Dao experts saw Blood Ghost Lin Xiu being slain and instantly fled far away. Ancient Sword Peak did not pursue.

Zhu Hongxue ran to Zhu Qianqiu’s side, asking with concern.

"I’m fine, thanks to Elder Gu!"

Zhu Qianqiu patted Zhu Hongxue’s back and comforted her. In fact, the moment Ancient Sword Peak appeared, Zhu Hongxue already noticed but was too concerned for Zhu Qianqiu’s safety to pay attention.

Now seeing Ancient Sword Peak, her face became unnatural.

"Greetings, Elder!"

Zhu Hongxue is an Inner Sect Disciple of the Celestial Travel Sect and naturally heard of Ancient Sword Peak’s renown. Moreover, many legends about Ancient Sword Peak circulate within the Celestial Travel Sect.

The most widespread one is that he once killed over a dozen Inner Sect Elders within the Celestial Travel Sect, including a Direct Disciple of an ancestor, causing a great sensation throughout the sect. It’s said even the ancestor was alerted but ultimately did nothing.

Thus, if there’s anyone the disciples in the Celestial Travel Sect fear most, it might not be the Sect Leader but rather Ancient Sword Peak!

Ancient Sword Peak is truly a person born for the sword, killing at ten, comprehending Sword Intent at twelve, reaching True Dao at fifteen, achieving Guiyuan at twenty, and ascending to Guiyuan’s Ninth Layer by thirty. Now, at the mere age of forty, he’s already invincible in the Guiyuan Realm, earning the title "Sword Demon."

"Hmm!"

Ancient Sword Peak nodded slightly. The number of Inner Sect disciples of the Celestial Travel Sect is exceedingly large, and Zhu Hongxue’s reputation within is not notable, thus he had no impression.

"Are you heading to Celestial City?"

Ancient Sword Peak asked slightly, glancing around at the martial artists, noticing they were all young talents.

"Yes, we plan to go to Celestial City for the Celestial Travel Sect’s entrance examination. We didn’t expect to encounter such trouble, sigh!"

Zhu Qianqiu sighed. Huang Mian Ghost Eagle had quietly come to his side, his eyes full of fear looking at Ancient Sword Peak, covered in wounds.

"I happen to be returning to the Celestial Travel Sect. I can accompany you on the journey!"

Ancient Sword Peak said indifferently, his gaze suddenly sweeping over Chu Ming, a flash of surprise in his eyes. He wasn’t astonished by Chu Ming’s strength but by the pure Sword Dao aura emanating from Chu Ming, making him stand out.

Given Chu Ming’s age, his strength is impressive but there are many disciples in the Celestial Travel Sect even stronger. However, Chu Ming’s unique aura is rare in the entire Celestial Realm.

Sometimes, one’s fortune depends on one’s aura!

"Thank you, senior!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qianqiu was delighted. With Ancient Sword Peak accompanying them, their safety was assured. In the world of martial artists, the strong are revered. Despite Ancient Sword Peak being his peer in age, his strength far surpassed Zhu Qianqiu, thus calling him senior was appropriate.

Everyone rested at the spot for a moment. Zhu Qianqiu stood before Huang Mian Ghost Eagle, feeding it elixirs to gradually recover, while the others meditated to restore their strength and spiritual power.

Chu Ming was unharmed, having only expended three-tenths of his spiritual power. Thus, within half an hour, he opened his eyes while others remained in recovery.

Rising and walking slowly to Zhu Qianqiu’s back, Chu Ming bowed with gratitude, "Thank you, Senior Zhu, for the life-saving favor today!"

By now, Zhu Qianqiu’s complexion had regained some color. He tossed the remaining elixirs into Huang Mian Ghost Eagle’s mouth, turned around, and smiled.

"Since you’ve joined the Governor’s Mansion, I will naturally ensure your safety!"

Zhu Qianqiu’s white robe fluttered in the wind, and hearing these words, Chu Ming felt warmth in his heart. For some reason, it gave him a sense of home.

After two hours, Xu Yibai awakened, relieved to see everyone safe. Nearly half of White Dragon City’s geniuses were gathered here. If all were lost, he couldn’t bear the responsibility.

When informed of what happened after he fainted, Xu Yibai’s eyes flashed with shock.

"You mean Elder Gu is here?"

Knowing his younger brother Xu He was an Inner Sect Elder of the Celestial Travel Sect, he was privy to secrets others weren’t. Ancient Sword Peak’s power within the sect was immense, even the Sect Leader accords him respect.

"Yes, over there!"

A young talent from White Dragon City gestured for Xu Yibai, who followed his gaze to see Ancient Sword Peak sitting, meditating. Though he wanted to pay respects, he knew interrupting meditation was taboo.

After half a day, everyone was ready to depart. Just as Zhu Qianqiu was about to mount Huang Mian Ghost Eagle, Ancient Sword Peak stopped him.

"Take this; it’s faster!"

Ancient Sword Peak took out a miniature tower boat from his Storage Ring. The boat, palm-sized and emitting silver brilliance, expanded in an instant to a length and width of over two hundred zhang. Its majestic aura spread around.

"This..."

Among the youths, including Chu Ming, none had seen the tower boat before. Though they’d seen battleships, even Chu Ming had seen Cyan Yang Sect’s Cyan Yang Battleship.

But those battleships had fixed sizes, unlike this tower boat that could change at will, indicating it was a Magical Treasure.

"It’s called a tower boat. If you become Inner Sect Disciples of the Celestial Travel Sect, it’s not impossible to obtain one!"

Seeing their astonishment, Ancient Sword Peak said lightly, shooting upwards and landed on the tower boat. Hearing this, a fervent desire filled their eyes.

Zhu Hongxue’s mouth twitched slightly. Even in the Celestial Travel Sect, the tower boat is rare, mostly small models that hold ten individuals, owned by top True Disciples, each costing astronomical contribution points.

Ancient Sword Peak’s tower boat is a medium-sized vessel, with only three in the Celestial Travel Sect.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Figures shot up and landed solidly on the tower boat. The deck was spacious, and around were several rooms. Outside, a Fifth Level array blocked the fierce winds completely.
