Chapter 1475

After all, this isn't the Yang family; otherwise, the Yang family's four generations would all be heaven-defying beings—how could they have declined so much?

Translation: "This ultimately isn't that Yang family; otherwise, the Yang family's four generations would all be heaven-defying people—how could they have declined like this?" Need to keep tone. Let's produce: "This ultimately isn't that Yang family; otherwise, the Yang family's four generations would all be heaven-defying people—how could they have declined like this?" Ensure no extra.

The voice fell!

The voice fell!

Lu Xuan and his four companions landed on the Yang family's former grounds.

Translation: "Lu Xuan and the others landed on the Yang family's former grounds."

Yang family!

Translation: "Yang family!"

A broken plaque lay beneath the crumbling high wall, already eroded by eerie power.

Translation: "A shattered sign lay beneath the crumbling high wall, already corroded by eerie power."

The Yang family's domain of a hundred thousand li had completely turned to soil.

Translation: "The Yang family's territory of a hundred thousand li had all turned to soil."

Lu Xuan probed with his divine sense and sensed a fragment of a small tower, its aura matching that of the small tower fragments from Ying Zhao Star.

Translation: "Lu Xuan extended his divine sense, sensing a fragment of a small pagoda whose aura matched those of the small pagoda fragments from Yingzhao Star."

From Xiao Yue, Lu Xuan learned that Yang Tianming had received a martial arts inheritance called the "Po Yue Old Ancestor," whose fist technique could split mountains and overturn the heavens.

Translation: "From Xiao Yue's mouth, Lu Xuan already knew that what Yang Tianming obtained was a martial arts inheritance called 'Breaking Mountain Old Ancestor'; his fist technique could split mountains and shake the heavens."

That small tower is named the Swallow‑Mountain Tower; it can devour heaven‑defying experts and is also an artifact of the Po Yue Old Ancestor, though it is now damaged.

Translation: "That small pagoda is named the Swallow Mountain Pagoda; it can devour heaven-defying powerhouses and is also an object of the Breaking Mountain Old Ancestor, though it is now damaged."

Lu Xuan reached out and seized the fragment of the small tower.

Translation: "Lu Xuan reached out and seized that fragment of the small pagoda."

The Yang family's former grounds still retain the aura of Yang Tianming's fist technique.

Translation: "The Yang family's former grounds still retain the aura of Yang Tianming's fist technique!"

Tens of thousands of years have passed; this aura has weakened somewhat, yet it still exudes an overbearing and fierce vigor.

Translation: "Tens of thousands of years have passed; this aura has weakened somewhat, but it still exudes an overbearing and fierce vigor."

It is said that when Yang Tianming fell, he had not even entered the Dao Fruit realm; yet by frantically seizing the power of the Mandate Origin, he could match a Dao Fruit expert in battle.

Translation: "It is said that when Yang Tianming fell, he had not even stepped into the Dao Fruit Realm; however, he frantically seized the power of the Heaven's Mandate Origin, giving him the strength to contend with a Dao Fruit Realm expert!"

Lu Xuan activated his spatial power, seized this trace of fist technique aura, and sealed it within the system space.

Translation: "Lu Xuan activated his space power, seized this thread of fist technique aura, and sealed it within the system space."

The Three Earth Sword Dukes sighed, "To wear a crown, one must bear its weight. The Mandate Origin is the ultimate power of the Butterfly Moon Old Ancestor; its karmic force is too great—even someone as monstrous as Yang Tianming cannot withstand it and suffers backlash."

Translation: "The Three Earth Sword Marquises sighed, 'To wear a crown, one must bear its weight. The Heaven's Mandate Origin is the ultimate power of the Butterfly Moon Old Ancestor; its karmic force is too great—even someone like Yang Tianming, a monstrous genius, cannot withstand it and suffered backlash.'"

They heard the story of Yang Tianming from Lu Xuan.

Translation: "They heard Yang Tianming's story from Lu Xuan."

Yang Tianming had also once obtained the Mandate Origin in the Azure Cloud Star Sea, but was immediately targeted by the Gu, Shou, Gui clans, and even human powerhouses; although protected by the former Yaochi Dynasty, he ultimately could not endure and fell.

Translation: "Yang Tianming had once obtained the Heaven's Mandate Origin in the Azure Cloud Star Sea, but was immediately targeted by the Gu Clan, Longevity Clan, Deceitful Clan, and even human powerhouses; although he had the protection of the former Jade Pool Imperial Dynasty, he ultimately could not endure and fell!"

Lu Xuan also thought of this.

Translation: "Lu Xuan also thought of this."

He only learned these from Xiao Yue's mouth; later he will consult the classics to examine some details of that time, so that when he returns to the Left Wing World he can plan for that Mandate Origin.

Translation: "He merely learned these from Xiao Yue's mouth; later, he will consult the classics to examine some details from back then, so that when he returns to the Left Wing World, he can plot that Heaven's Mandate Origin."

Lu Xuan continued his investigation and also discovered the ruins of a branch of the Yun Cliff Academy.

Translation: "Lu Xuan continued his investigation and also discovered the ruins of a branch of the Cloud Cliff Academy."

These ruins originally belonged not to Guan Xuan Star, but had drifted here; the branch's architecture is extremely mottled, filled with battle traces, making its structure hard to discern.

Translation: "These ruins are not originally from Observing Mystery Star, but have drifted here; the branch's architecture is extremely mottled, filled with battle traces, making its structure hard to discern."

Collapsed palaces, broken trial towers, destroyed secret realms, and a fractured training ground……

Translation: "Collapsed palaces, broken trial towers, plus destroyed secret realms, and a fractured training ground……"

Lu Xuan speculated that during the Guan Xuan Star battle, the Yun Cliff Academy branch also came to assist, but ultimately met its demise here.

Translation: "Lu Xuan surmised that in the past battle of Observing Mystery Star, the Cloud Cliff Academy branch also came to assist, but ultimately met its demise here."

However, within the branch's ruins lies an immensely rich righteous aura.

Translation: "However, within the branch ruins lies an immensely rich Grand Righteous Qi."

This is precisely the aura of those great scholars of the Yun Cliff Academy; although they have perished, the righteous aura endures.

Translation: "This is precisely the aura of those great scholars of the Cloud Cliff Academy; though they have perished, the Grand Righteous Qi endures."

Lu Xuan seized it all, thinking to himself, "When I return to the Left Wing World, I can give this to Qi Chun Jing for contemplation."

Translation: "Lu Xuan seized it all, thinking to himself, 'When I return to the Left Wing World, I can give this to Qi Chun Jing for comprehension.'"

Not long after.

Translation: "Not long after."

Lu Xuan brought Yang Xuan and his four companions away from Guan Xuan Star.

Translation: "Lu Xuan brought Yang Xuan and the others away from Observing Mystery Star."

At this moment, the heavens and earth of the Sword Dynasty had reached the brink of collapse; the firmament hung low, the earth was torn apart, and a destructive aura swept across the Three Provinces.

Translation: "At this moment, the heavens and earth of the Sword Dynasty had reached the brink of collapse; the firmament hung low, the earth was torn apart, and a destructive aura swept across the Three Provinces."

Boom!

Translation: "Boom!"

Crack!

Translation: "Crack!"

Vast lands of a hundred million li, mountains and rivers began to collapse; the subterranean world twisted directly, and the collapsing force, like a surging sea, struck in all directions.

Translation: "Vast expanses of land began to collapse, mountains and rivers started to topple, the subterranean world twisted directly, and the collapsing force, like a surging sea, struck in all directions."

Like a huge wooden ship, first there was a leak, then two, three, and finally over a hundred leaks.

Translation: "Like a huge wooden boat, first there was a leak, then two, three, and then over a hundred."

Numerous leaks appeared!

Translation: "Countless leaks appeared!"

The heavens and earth grew dim, with a looming sense of apocalyptic catastrophe; everywhere were spatial gales, like bone‑scraping steel blades, ravaging all.

Translation: "The heavens and earth grew dim, with a terrifying sense of an impending apocalyptic catastrophe; everywhere were spatial gales, rampaging like bone-scraping steel blades."

With a thought, the Xuanji Holy Sovereign extended her slender jade hand; the Ghost Soul Banner immediately swept across the void, continually shrinking until it landed in her hand, taking the form of a small flag.

Translation: "Xuanji Holy Lord moved her thought, extending her slender jade hand; the Guile Soul Banner immediately swept through the void, continually shrinking, finally landing in her hand, taking the form of a small flag."

Meanwhile, above the void, that boundless star‑space ancient mine was stored by her into her spatial ring.

Translation: "And above the void, that boundless starry ancient mine was taken by her into her spatial ring."

The star‑space ancient mine contains a rich Daoist power, enough for him to cultivate for a long time!

Translation: "The starry ancient mine contains a rich Dao power, enough for him to cultivate for a long time!"

Lu Xuan said to the Xuanji Holy Sovereign, "After leaving this Sword Dynasty, anyone from the Longevity Sect who dares to utter a word against you will be killed outright."

Translation: "Lu Xuan said to Xuanji Holy Lord, 'After leaving the Sword Dynasty, anyone from the Eternal Life Sect who dares to utter a word against you will be killed outright.'"

Good.

Translation: "Xuanji Holy Lord nodded, 'Good.'"

Within the Ghost Soul Banner, Elder Heiyuan exclaimed excitedly, "Exactly, exactly, directly attack these Gu clans. The world of the Longevity Sect was conquered by our Gui clan; otherwise, if the Harmony Sect suppressed the four seas and eight wildernesses, when would the Longevity Sect ever rise? Now they actually dare to defecate and urinate on the heads of our Abyss lineage—utterly outrageous!"

Translation: "Within the Guile Soul Banner, Elder Heiyuan was beside himself with excitement, 'Exactly, exactly, directly take on these Gu Clan. The world of the Eternal Life Sect was won by our Deceitful Clan for them; otherwise, if the Hehuan Sect suppressed the four seas and eight wildernesses, when would the Eternal Life Sect ever rise? Now they actually dare to defecate and urinate on the heads of our Abyss lineage—utterly outrageous!'"

He has now become the primary spirit within the Ghost Soul Banner, his heart filled with endless resentment.

Translation: "He has now become the primary spirit within the Guile Soul Banner, his heart filled with endless resentment."

That resentment is almost enough to revive an evil sword immortal!

Translation: "That resentment is almost enough to revive an evil sword immortal!"

He wants to kill, to pour his murderous intent upon the Longevity Sect!

Translation: "He wants to kill, to pour his murderous intent onto the Eternal Life Sect!"

Anyway, with this senior guarding the formation, what's there to fear about a mere bird?

Translation: "Anyway, with this senior covering the rear, what's there to fear about a mere bird?"

Elder Heiyuan's mind flashed with an idea; he quickly said, "Senior, I have an idea, I don't know whether I should speak it or not."

Translation: "Elder Heiyuan's mind flashed with an idea; he hurriedly said, 'Senior, I have an idea, I don't know whether I should speak it or not.'"

Speak.

Translation: "Lu Xuan calmly said, 'Speak.'"

Elder Heiyuan said, "Ming's talent is so heaven‑defying—not only the Abyss Dao, but also the Yin meridian, the Soul meridian, and the Corrosion meridian… Ming's talent is one aspect, but this is entirely thanks to the senior's excellent teaching!"

Translation: "Elder Heiyuan said, 'Ming's talent is so heaven-defying—not only the Abyss Dao, but also the Yin Pulse, Soul Pulse, and Corruption Pulse… Ming's talent is one aspect, but this is entirely thanks to your teaching, senior!'"

Invisibly, Elder Heiyuan began to flatter Lu Xuan.

Translation: "Inwardly, Elder Heiyuan began to flatter Lu Xuan."

Lu Xuan rubbed his nose.

Translation: "Lu Xuan rubbed his nose."

Did he teach?

Translation: "Did he teach?"

For the vast majority of the time, he just let things take their course.

Translation: "Most of the time, he just lets them roam free."

Lu Xuan felt pleased inside, but outwardly he gave a cold snort, "Get to the point."

Translation: "Lu Xuan felt pleased inside, but outwardly he gave a cold snort, 'Get to the point.'"

Elder Heiyuan quickly said, "We can completely let the other meridians invest in Ming; those meridians that have declined can unite because of Ming's existence—this is also their chance to rise."

Translation: "Elder Heiyuan hurriedly said, 'We can completely let the other meridians invest in Ming; those meridians that have declined can unite because of Ming's existence—this is also their chance to rise.'"

Not bad.

Translation: "Lu Xuan gave a faint nod, 'Not bad.'"

Elder Heiyuan's idea coincided with his own.

Translation: "Elder Heiyuan's idea coincided with his."

"This matter is entrusted to you," Lu Xuan said lightly, then his figure vanished on the spot.

Translation: "'This matter is entrusted to you,' Lu Xuan said lightly, then his figure vanished from the spot."

Elder Heiyuan: "……"

Translation: "Elder Heiyuan: '……'"

Within the terrifying spatial gales filled with destructive force, Lu Xuan's spatial power rose above the storm, tightly protecting the Xuanji Holy Sovereign and Yang Xuan.

Translation: "Within the terrifying spatial gales, destructive power raged, but Lu Xuan's spatial power rose above the storm, tightly protecting Xuanji Holy Lord and Yang Xuan."

And yet the three Earth Sword Marquis strode into the world-destroying storm, their faces showing relief.

Lord Lu, thank you!

Yang Xuan, you will surely be able to step onto the pinnacle of the Sword Dao!

The three bowed respectfully to Lu Xuan, and their illusory bodies began to dissipate.

They handed the Flame Light Divine Sword to Yang Xuan, having no lingering attachments, and will be annihilated together with the Sword Dynasty in the long river of time.

Lu Xuan greatly respected their wishes and did not insist.

Yang Xuan was somewhat moved: "The human race has paid too much, too much in order to oppose the Gui Clan and the Gu Clan! One day, the Gui Clan must be exterminated!"

Soon.

The auras of the three Earth Sword Candidates vanished from heaven and earth, completely ceasing to exist.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Outside the Sword Dynasty, the elders of the Deep Abyss Lineage and the Longevity Sect who had attained the Dao-Actuality Realm were all paying attention to the Starry Sky Ancient Mine.

Both sides were already tense, as if a great war could erupt at any moment!

Simply because they all discovered that the monsters who had entered this time were all dead.

The Longevity Sect claimed to have suffered heavy losses, and the Deep Abyss Lineage also claimed to have suffered heavy losses.

What exactly happened inside the Starry Sky Ancient Mine?

Could it be that both sides suffered mutual losses, with the entire army wiped out?

The Deep Abyss Lineage does not have the Xuanji Holy Lord's life token, so they do not know Ming's situation.

Mogu Elder of the Longevity Sect frowned slightly, "Huh? In less than a month, the world of this ancient Dao lineage has collapsed?"

According to their estimates, at least several years are needed.

The Deep Abyss Lineage's base, Blackrock Elder and others also shot up into the sky, arriving near the Starry Sky Ancient Mine.

Shortly after.

Void Rending, space twisted.

The Xuanji Holy Lord wore a purple robe, her jade-like feet moving gracefully, her long skirt swaying, faint Divine Light shimmering on her crystalline skin; her peerless elegance, with white hair three thousand zhang tall, she stepped forth step by step from the shattered void of the Sword Dynasty.

Lu Xuan and Yang Xuan also stepped out of that space, but they concealed their figures.

"Ming's cultivation has broken through to the Dao Lord Realm! Excellent, excellent!" Blackrock Elder and the others' faces showed excitement.

You must know it's been less than a month!

The Longevity Sect's members showed a faint sinister smile: "Only Ming survived? Not bad, not bad."

But after dozens of breaths, no second person emerged from behind the Xuanji Holy Lord.

Whether it be the Gui Clan, the Gu Clan, or the forces under the Longevity Sect's command!

Mogu Elder's face darkened as he stared fixedly at the Xuanji Holy Lord, "Ming, where are the people of my Longevity Sect?"

The Xuanji Holy Lord said lightly, "All dead."

"What?" Mogu's features twisted.

From the Longevity Sect's side, a High Star Dao Lord Realm elder unleashed a great palm, directly grabbing toward the Xuanji Holy Lord, "Let me see what exactly happened inside the Starry Sky Ancient Mine!"
