Chapter 801

"All of you fellow martial artists should be very familiar with its owner; it is none other than the founding Emperor of the Great Song, Zhao Kuangyin."

"Back then, Zhao Kuangyin was merely a minor frontier general who chanced upon a fragment of the Heavenly Sword and spent immense effort to forge it into a divine weapon."

"When the sword was completed, the sound of a dragon's roar shook the heavens, so he named it the True Dragon Heavenly Sword and obtained the incomplete 'Heavenly Sword Divine Art' attached to it."

"He is also the only person since the ancient Heavenly Emperor and King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa, to have comprehended the 'Heavenly Sword Divine Art' to the seventh form or beyond."

"Relying on his unfathomable cultivation, Zhao Kuangyin rose to fame across the world, gradually gained importance, and finally had the yellow robe draped over him, becoming the founding monarch of the Great Song."

"But it is a pity that Zhao Kuangyin only obtained one fragment of the Heavenly Sword in his entire life, so he could not cultivate the 'Heavenly Sword Divine Art' to the perfect realm."

"With his martial talent, if he could have collected all six fragments of the Heavenly Sword, he would surely have been able to cultivate the 'Heavenly Sword Divine Art' to the Great Completion realm; it is a pity, and a sigh-worthy matter."

"After Zhao Kuangyin passed away, the True Dragon Heavenly Sword did not find its true master, so its brilliance dimmed; it is now stored in the deepest part of the Great Song imperial armory, quietly waiting for its sword master to emerge."

"Therefore, this Heavenly Sword fragment currently has no owner."

As Su Chen's voice fell, the hall was once again filled with a sudden uproar.

The True Dragon Heavenly Sword!

No one expected that the founding Emperor of the Great Song, Zhao Kuangyin, was also a successor of the Heavenly Sword.

Just like Liu Xiu, Zhao Kuangyin's path to becoming Emperor was extremely legendary, starting entirely from the very bottom.

Now, the truth has finally come to light.

It turns out Zhao Kuangyin had the aura of an Emperor early on, and having the Heavenly Sword fragment recognize him as its master made his ascension to the throne a matter of course.

And his martial arts, which surpassed all in the world, can now be explained.

It was precisely because he cultivated the Wu Di's supreme art, the 'Heavenly Sword Divine Art'.

Hearing what followed, everyone could not help but sigh.

Who would have thought that Zhao Kuangyin actually had the martial talent to cultivate the 'Heavenly Sword Divine Art' to the Great Completion realm.

If Zhao Kuangyin had truly been allowed to collect all six Heavenly Sword fragments, I fear the mountains and rivers of these Nine Provinces would already have a master.

For a time, everyone in the hall began to discuss it one after another:

"Good heavens, I never expected Zhao Kuangyin to be a Heavenly Sword successor; no wonder he was so fierce."

"There have long been rumors in the Jianghu that Zhao Kuangyin's martial arts were god-like, and no one could stop him on the battlefield, which is why he was invincible; it turns out he cultivated the Wu Di's supreme art, the 'Heavenly Sword Divine Art'."

"Who would have thought Zhao Kuangyin had the bearing of a supreme ruler of the world; he cultivated the 'Heavenly Sword Divine Art' to such a level with just one fragment. If he had obtained a few more, couldn't he have achieved feats comparable to the First Emperor?"

"It's a pity Zhao Kuangyin and Liu Xiu were born in the wrong era; they died without knowing they had only obtained one fragment of the Heavenly Emperor's sword, let alone the whereabouts of the others."

"Zhao Kuangyin had it even worse than Liu Xiu; Liu Xiu at least had a descendant, Liu Bei, while Zhao Kuangyin's True Dragon Heavenly Sword is still gathering dust."

"The Great Song Dynasty is actually riddled with crises; the surrounding Mongol Yuan, Khitan, and Tubo nations are all eyeing it covetously, and it is in urgent need of a supreme ruler."

"Looking at it now, the older generation of Heavenly Sword successors, whether Liu Xiu or Zhao Kuangyin, all had brilliant achievements and successfully became Emperors. I'm starting to favor Liu Bang to defeat Ying Zheng."

The seventh private room in the West District.

"The True Dragon Heavenly Sword has no master?"

Fu Cailin's eyes lit up, and he could not help but feel tempted.

He gathered ninety percent of Goguryeo's martial destiny in himself, and every day he thought only of how to be loyal to Goguryeo.

This True Dragon Heavenly Sword is a fragment of the Heavenly Emperor's sword, carrying the incomplete destiny of the Eternal Heavenly Emperor.

If it could be obtained by Goguryeo, wouldn't it be possible to create a peerless supreme ruler?

This might be an opportunity for Goguryeo's rise.

But after thinking about it, he shook his head and gave up.

In the Great Song palace, there are old monsters like the Sunflower Ancestor guarding it.

With his cultivation, he might not necessarily be a match for the Sunflower Ancestor.

If he offended the Great Song imperial court because of this, it would instead become a disaster for Goguryeo.

"I wonder if the other two Heavenly Sword fragments are also ownerless?"

Fu Cailin muttered, unable to help but cast his gaze toward the white jade platform.

If there were ownerless Heavenly Sword fragments drifting in the Jianghu, he would have to fight for one no matter what.

On the white jade platform.

Su Chen lightly shook his folding fan, and facing the expectant gazes of the crowd, he did not drag things out and said directly:

"Next, let us comment on the fifth Heavenly Sword fragment."

"This Heavenly Sword fragment fell into the Yanyun region of the Great Ming Dynasty."

"Later, the Mongol Yuan Dynasty launched a massive invasion and occupied it, and this Heavenly Sword fragment was also obtained by the Mongol Yuan Dynasty."

"But at that time, the Mongol Yuan Dynasty had no one with the aura of a Son of Heaven, causing the Heavenly Sword fragment to remain sealed for a hundred years, until Genghis Khan emerged."

"Regarding Genghis Khan, all of you fellow martial artists should be no strangers to him."

"He is hailed as the most outstanding Emperor in Mongol Yuan history, and even the most outstanding Emperor in the history of all foreign dynasties."

"Genghis Khan's name was Temujin; because he lost his father at an early age and was expelled by hostile tribes, he defected to the Kereit tribe and accidentally obtained the Heavenly Sword fragment."

"He specialized in blade techniques, so he reforged this Heavenly Sword fragment into a peerless divine blade, naming it the Pale Wolf Blade."

"Thereafter, Temujin obtained the blessing of the incomplete Heavenly Emperor's destiny, his aura grew stronger, and he rose all the way, conquering the tribes of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty one by one."

"Before Temujin, the Mongol Yuan was always a scattered mess, with major tribes fighting each other; although they had strong power, it was difficult for them to be ranked among the empires."

"It was Temujin who carried on the past and opened up the future, unifying and integrating all the Mongol Yuan tribes, creating an unprecedentedly powerful Mongol Yuan Empire."

"Temujin was also honored by the various Mongol Yuan tribes as 'Genghis Khan', which signifies supreme status."

"Up to now, counting all the dynasties of the Nine Provinces, the Mongol Yuan Dynasty can at least be ranked in the top three, and the elite Mongol cavalry can even rival the Great Qin's Golden Fire Cavalry."

"These are all Genghis Khan's unprecedented achievements; the title of the number one Emperor among foreign races is well-deserved."

As Su Chen's voice fell, a clamor suddenly erupted in the hall.

Genghis Khan of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty!

The name of this person is known to everyone in the world.

If one speaks of the most famous foreign Emperors of the current era, there are only three.

Genghis Khan of the Mongol Yuan, Jieli Khan of the Turks, and Modu Chanyu of the Xiongnu.

All three nations are empires among foreign races, with great momentum, and it is hard to distinguish who is superior.

But when it comes to the Emperor's personal martial prowess, Genghis Khan is absolutely the number one.

Even counting the entire history of foreign races, it is difficult to find an Emperor with such heroic talent and strategy as Genghis Khan.

Everyone never expected this.

Genghis Khan, this foreign overlord, had actually joined the battle for the Heavenly Sword successor.

For Heavenly Sword successors who have not yet grown up, such as Liu Bang, Liu Bei, and Li Shimin, this is simply a dimensional strike.
