Chapter 1210: with translation of chapter title

"Changhe Sword Sect, respectfully welcome the disciple of the Dao Master and Commander Zhang Liao!"

As this voice fell, the Star Sea of the Changhe Sword Sect directly boiled up.

"Hiss hiss hiss hiss!"

Above countless stars appeared dense sword qi; large numbers of sword cultivators stepped down from the void, beneath their feet appeared brilliant divine rainbows, like one Milky Way after another, illuminating heaven and earth.

Looking from afar, it was incredibly vast!

In everyone's eyes burned a blazing flame, as if they had seen hope.

"Respectfully welcome the disciple of the Dao Master and Commander Zhang Liao!"

"Respectfully welcome the disciple of the Dao Master and Commander Zhang Liao!"

"……"

One after another voices sounded in the void, turning into a torrent.

Soon, the sword-intent realms of many sword cultivators continuously gathered, eventually condensing into a terrifying sword momentum that tore heaven and earth, made the starry sky sway, and an boundless river of sword qi poured down from the depths of the void.

Heavenly and earthly portent!

The great river's waters came from the heavens, mighty and vast, stirring up endless waves.

Changhe Old Ancestor said, "Our sect has waited for this day far too long. Among our sect's sword cultivators, who does not wish to slay the enemy? The true enemies are the Deceitful Palace and the Gu Clan, not the stifled hiding in a corner of Yunlan Heaven!"

On his face appeared resentment and hatred.

In the past, when Weiyang Heaven was divided into three parts, he was in his prime; now, after endless ages have passed, in Yunlan Heaven he cannot slay enemies—how much time has he wasted?

Now his temples already have a hint of frost.

Zhang Liao seemed to see what Changhe Old Ancestor was thinking, and he spoke with lofty ambition, "Brother Changhe, a little frost on the temples—what of it? The best time to slay the enemy is now!"

Changhe Old Ancestor laughed heartily, "Good, good, good."

His gaze turned toward the firmament above; his entire aura rose like a sharp blade shooting into the clouds, he stared deep into the firmament and spoke coldly.

"Yunlan Emperor, I know you have always been spying on my Changhe Sword Sect. Now, we are done pretending, we lay our cards bare. From now on, my Changhe Sword Sect will no longer submit to you."

"The Spirit Martial Emperor is within the Phantasmal Realm; invading Yunlan Heaven is imminent. Yunlan Emperor, you had better think carefully about your own fate!"

Upon hearing this, within the Heavenly Palace, Yunlan Potián's face turned as if he had swallowed feces.

His veins bulged on his face; he directly punched the wooden table before him, shattering it to powder, and he raged, "How unreasonable! Truly unreasonable!"

All along, the Changhe Sword Sect has openly opposed him, making him feel like a bone stuck in his throat.

Now they aren't even bothering to pretend!

If it weren't for Xiao Nannan constantly pleading for the Changhe Sword Sect because of that broken sword, he could never tolerate their such arrogance!

Changhe Old Ancestor looked at Xiao Nannan, "Xiao Nannan, the Yunlan Emperor may act against us."

Xiao Nannan lay in Ji Fuyao's embrace, frightened, clinging tightly to Ji Fuyao, and quickly imitating Changhe Old Ancestor's manner, she said to the heavens, "Yunlan Senior, please do not hurt Big Sister!"

Upon these words, Yunlan Potián became even more furious!

Even Xiao Nannan has turned toward the Dao Master's disciple!

In the next instant, Xiao Nannan said to Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen, "Big Sister, the Yunlan Senior is a good person; he treats Xiao Nannan very well. Everyone, don't quarrel."

Yunlan Potián's tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little.

At least after so many years, his feelings for Xiao Nannan remain.

Moreover, even if the Spirit Martial Emperor and Lu Zunzhu led their troops to his doorstep, he believes Xiao Nannan would still plead for him.

Heaven and earth were silent.

The Yunlan Emperor could not possibly respond to Changhe Old Ancestor.

Shortly after, Ji Fuyao and the others followed Changhe Old Ancestor toward the Space Channel.

Ye Chen's gaze was deep and distant; he continually activated the World Tree Dao Patterns to probe the heavenly situation of Yunlan Heaven, his brows slightly furrowed, "Hmm? This heavenly situation has some indescribable connection with the Phantasmal Realm."

Changhe Old Ancestor halted, his eyes showing astonishment, "Little friend Ye Chen, have you discerned any clue?"

In Ye Chen's hand, the spiritual seal shifted, brilliant spiritual lines constantly flickering, intertwining into exceedingly obscure and ancient Dao diagrams; these diagrams rapidly transformed, continually vanishing and arising.

Not long after.

Ye Chen suddenly said, "I have understood."

Everyone looked toward Ye Chen.

Ye Chen said, "That Phantasmal Realm and Yunlan Heaven are interconnected. The Phantasmal Realm draws power from Yunlan Heaven, evolving into the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth. No wonder, when we refine heaven and earth in the Phantasmal Realm, we can also grasp a thread of true Yunlan Heaven."

Changhe Old Ancestor deeply furrowed his brows, "I, Changhe Old Ancestor, have had my lifeline controlled by the Yunlan Emperor—perhaps this is that very force! This chain has bound my sect for endless ages; it's time to undo it!"

Ye Chen nodded, "Senior, lead the way; let's go see that aura Xiao Nannan spoke of."

Soon.

Everyone arrived at the place where the Chasing Wave Sword is sealed.

The main body of the Chasing Wave Sword is planted on a mountain peak, yet its contained sword momentum is overly vast, and it constantly balances against external seals; large amounts of sword intent directly pierce the seal and pour down into the void.

A huge spectral sword shadow lies across the Star Sea, like an immovable monument.

Yet this shadow is also suppressed by numerous seals; those seal powers turn into countless heavenly chains that tightly bind the sword intent of the Chasing Wave Sword.

This is precisely the handiwork of Yunlan Potián.

Changhe Old Ancestor felt deeply, "This Chasing Wave Sword is a true portrait of our Changhe Sword Sect; we are no different from wearing shackles."

"Hum!"

Just as everyone was about to step onto the peak where the Chasing Wave Sword's main body stands, Xiao Yaoshi's body suddenly erupted with a terrifying sword momentum.

"Sizzle!"

A pallid sword qi shot straight into the clouds; beneath Xiao Yaoshi's feet, a vast white sword domain spontaneously evolved.

Xiao Yaoshi wore a green robe, his long hair fluttering, like a sword immortal, ethereal.

Xiao Yaoshi Sword Intent!

Long River Old Ancestor exclaimed in amazement, "I never expected that Xiaoyaozi's sword Dao would actually resonate with the Wave-Chasing Sword. I wonder where your sword Dao comes from?"

Xiaoyaozi said, "My Free-and-Easy Sword Dao was imparted to me by Lord Lu Zun."

Long River Old Ancestor shook his head, "No. You have another sword intent within you."

Xiaoyaozi then realized he still had the inheritance of the Swift Wind Sword Venerable, saying, "I once in Azure Void Heaven received the inheritance of Swift Wind Sword Venerable Gongyang Yuxiao."

He flicked his sleeve.

A bolt of Swift Wind Sword Qi slashed out directly.

"Come, follow the Swift Wind forward!"

Long River Old Ancestor burst into laughter, "Ah, so it is. Gongyang Yuxiao once had a brief encounter with me; I never expected he would actually comprehend the Swift Wind Sword Dao. What fate! Wave-Chasing, Swift Wind, Free-and-Easy."

"Xiaoyaozi, perhaps the Wave-Chasing Sword is fated with you. Since this sword was sealed, it has been ownerless. See if you can earn its recognition."

Xiaoyaozi looked toward Ji Fuyao and the others.

Ji Fuyao smiled charmingly, "We can give it a try."

Boom—boom—boom!

Everyone landed on Shan Dian, where the Wave-Chasing Sword was located.

Xiao Nannan pointed at the Wave-Chasing Sword and giggled, "I often come here, this spirit sword carries the aura of big brother!"

Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen examined the Wave-Chasing Sword, and after a moment they exchanged a smile, "It is undoubtedly our master."
