Chapter 832

Moreover, given that the other party had been acting very low-key over the past several months, gradually becoming more and more mysterious within the clan.

That was why he was deeply surprised by the news Jiang Shan had taken the initiative to reveal.

"This truly is one who, when not flying, soars straight to the heavens at the first leap; when silent, astonishes the world with a single cry..."

Jiang Daoxuan murmured.

In an instant, he already had a clue as to Jiang Shan's current predicament.

Although the Human Dao aura and the Kingly Dao aura needed to repair the Human King Seal were extremely difficult for others to obtain,

for him, it was only a trivial matter.

A thought stirred slightly.

The next moment.

Whoosh—

A longsword of interwoven black and red appeared out of thin air before his eyes!

This sword was the very first holy weapon he had obtained, named: Human King Sword!

Its grade reached the mid-grade of the Holy tier, containing the power of the Kingly Dao laws, and possessed an extremely dense Human Dao aura.

No matter how one looked at it, this sword was the best item for repairing the Human King Seal.

It was just that, after he had come to possess three imperial weapons, this sword was of little use to him — quite superfluous.

Looking across the clan, there were not many candidates suited to wield this sword, but it was instead extremely suitable to bestow upon Jiang Shan as a reward, not in vain for the other's wholehearted efforts in developing the trade association.

"Human King Seal, Human King Sword — it seems all of this was ordained by fate..."

Jiang Daoxuan shook his head, looking toward Jiang Chen not far away: "Chen'er."

Jiang Chen stopped cultivating, raised his head, and looked ahead.

Before he had even seen his uncle's figure, he first saw a longsword hovering before his eyes.

This is?

Jiang Chen's eyes flickered, a hint of confusion showing.

As the master of the Eight Wastes Sword, he naturally could keenly sense the extraordinariness of the Human King Sword.

With just a single glance, he was certain this sword must be a holy weapon!

Yet he still could not quite make sense of his uncle's actions.

But just at this moment, Jiang Daoxuan's voice suddenly rang out, echoing in his ear: "Go to Cangwu City and deliver the Human King Sword to Jiang Shan, the president of the Cangwu Trade Association..."

A look of understanding crossed Jiang Chen's face. He immediately stretched out both hands to receive the Human King Sword and replied, "Yes, my lord."

Jiang Daoxuan nodded: "Remember to tell Jiang Shan that if he encounters difficulties, he need not force himself to endure — he may seek my aid."

Jiang Chen rose and said in a deep voice, "Understood!"

Having said this, he immediately left Bai Yu Capital and set off toward Cangwu City!

Seeing Jiang Chen's figure vanish from sight, Jiang Daoxuan slowly drew back his gaze.

Daoist rhymes churned in his eyes, divine light flickered, as if he had glimpsed a corner of the future.

"His fate has changed, already bearing the numerology of the Nine-Five — the future truly is something to look forward to."

"Jiang Shan, I wonder what other surprises you can still bring me..."

As the thought fell, Jiang Daoxuan closed his eyes and plunged back into cultivation.

Cangwu City, headquarters of the Cangwu Trade Association.

Jiang Shan held the Cangwu Token in his hand, pacing back and forth within the room.

He was patiently waiting for news from the clan leader.

However, the news never arrived — but a person did.

Accompanied by a knock sounding from outside the door.

Jiang Shan stopped pacing: "Please come in."

Accompanied by the sound of the door being pushed open.

A clear male voice suddenly came through: "Jiang Chen, greetings to Grandfather Jiang Shan."

Jiang Chen?

Jiang Shan was taken aback.

He instinctively turned around.

What came into view was a tall, vigorous, resolute youth.

The youth had a smile at the corner of his lips, cradling in his arms an ancient, simple longsword of interwoven black and red.

Seeing this, Jiang Shan instantly had a guess in his heart: "Is it the Clan Leader, my lord?"

Jiang Chen walked up before him and, with both hands, presented the Human King Sword.

Under Jiang Shan's gaze, he said unhurriedly: "This treasure is called the Human King Sword. The Clan Leader, my lord, specially ordered me to bring it to you."

"As for the purpose, he has not yet explained in detail — he only asked me to pass on to you that if you encounter difficulties, you need not force yourself to endure, and may seek his aid..."

Jiang Shan likewise stretched out both hands and solemnly received the Human King Sword.

At the instant of contact with the Human King Sword.

The Human King Seal, originally hidden within the Purple Mansion space, suddenly underwent an anomaly — as if resonating with it, causing the body of the seal to tremble ceaselessly!

Sensing this astonishing scene, he instantly understood the sword's purpose.

Jiang Shan put away the Human King Sword and drew a deep breath: "Please convey to the Clan Leader, my lord, that in this life Jiang Shan shall surely take the strengthening of the clan as his own duty, and will never fail his great expectations!"

Jiang Chen nodded in deep agreement: "All our actions are for the rise of the clan. Your intentions, I will convey to the Clan Leader, my lord."

Jiang Shan's expression softened.

He looked toward Jiang Chen, about to open his mouth and ask the other to stay and rest for a moment.

But Jiang Chen saw through the intention and cut in first: "No need to trouble Grandfather Jiang Shan. You've already done so much for the clan—you need plenty of rest. I'll head back to Bai Yu Capital first, and we can meet again another day when you have the time."

Having said that, he gave the other no chance to refuse, and immediately slipped away, leaving the headquarters of the Cangwu Merchant Guild.

Seeing this, Jiang Shan could not help but laugh in spite of himself.

Then he withdrew his gaze and looked at the Human King Sword before him.

"To think it could provoke such a violent reaction from the Human King Seal—the Clan Chief is truly worthy of being the Clan Chief. It seems there's hope for repair after all…"

Steady as he was, even Jiang Shan could not help but feel a surge of excitement at this moment.

Especially when he thought of the wondrous aspects of the method for forging a Fate Dynasty—it was all the more so.

Immediately after, Jiang Shan swiftly took out the Human King Seal and the Divine Iron.

The instant the three met together—

A sudden change occurred!

Whoosh—

A dazzling golden light burst forth from the surface of the Human King Seal, enveloping the Human King Sword and the Divine Iron.

The three hovered in midair, drawing closer; the divine radiance they emitted flashed in every corner of the room—blazing gold!

Time slipped away bit by bit.

Under Jiang Shan's gaze—

The Saint-grade lower-quality Divine Iron, originally the size of a fist, visibly shrank at a rapid pace.

In no time it had completely melted away, vanishing without a trace!

Meanwhile, the surface of the Human King Seal shimmered with a faint purple-gold halo, revealing extraordinary extraordinariness.

At the same time, wave after wave of overwhelmingly majestic aura surged out from the Human King Sword, all of it absorbed by the Human King Seal.

Hum—

Accompanied by a crisp humming sound—

The spirituality that had lain dormant within the Human King Seal for many years was finally awakened!

Its might, too, returned to the level a Saint-grade mid-quality should possess!

As the light faded, the Human King Seal and the Human King Sword both dropped to the ground.

Jiang Shan walked forward, bent down, and picked them up.

In his left hand he held the Human King Seal; in his right he gripped the Human King Sword.

Feeling the tremendous power contained within the two Saint weapons, a grand ambition welled up in his heart as well!

"All conditions have been met. Now I only need a bit of timing, and I will be able to use the Human King Seal to bear the nation's fate and establish a unique Fate Dynasty belonging to our Jiang clan!"

"When that day comes—all beneath the heavens shall be the King's land; all within the shores shall be the King's subjects!"
