Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

Chapter 162  The Heavenly Sword Secret Realm (IV)

===============¶¶===================

Old Man Whitebeard and Kira's Grandfather sat together in a secluded chamber, their expressions serious as they delved into deep discussion.

"It appears the Prophecy of the Mortal Emperor World is at hand?" Old Man Whitebeard asked.

Kira's Grandfather nodded solemnly. "Yes, it speaks of a great change coming to the world, with all continents fusing together. The balance of power will shift, and there is a possibility of war and conquest by the stronger powers of the Central Continent."

"The upcoming Grand Martial Arts Tournament will be a significant event before the opening of the Martial Emperor Secret Realm," Old Man Whitebeard continued. "Our talented disciples will face great challenges in the realm."

Meanwhile, the sect leaders and others waited on the mountain summit for their disciples to return from the Heavenly Sword Secret Realm.

They found places to meditate and pass the time, their years of cultivation allowing them to perceive time differently.

The scene shifted to another location, where a middle-aged man with short red hair and beard sat before someone in a blue cloak and hood.

The man with red hair, Julius' father, spoke, "My son has entered the secret realm as planned, Senior."

A muffled voice replied from beneath the hood, "Good, he must not fail this time. This is our only chance to acquire that object."

Julius' father nodded earnestly. "Don't worry, I have made all preparations."

The scene then changed to the Heavenly Sword Secret Realm.

As everyone appeared in the realm, they marveled at the quality and thickness of the essence energy surrounding them.

Some felt their cultivation bottlenecks loosening, indicating the profound impact of the realm on their progress.

Luke turned to Arthur and said, "Master, they said the lost valuable resource in this realm is the Sword Dao Gem. It contains insights into the Dao of the sword and can allow a person to master the sword intent level in one sitting."

Arthur nodded, recalling the legend surrounding the precious gem. "It's said that only the Heavenly Sword Sect possesses it, and it's one of the reasons many sword practitioners flock to our sect."

"The gem's power has made the Heavenly Sword Sect a force to be reckoned with, as sword users possess a high battle power due to the lethality of the sword."

As Arthur prepared to order his faction members to move, Kira walked towards him.

As Kira walked up to Arthur, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in surprise. "Don't tell me you want to team up again?" he asked with a playful smirk.

Kira shook her head, her expression calm and her tone didn't really sound like she cared. "No, I wanted to ask if I could go with you," she replied.

This unexpected request caught Arthur off guard. "Aren't you with them?" he asked, gesturing towards the Sword Alliance.

Kira shook her head again. "I'm not a part of their faction. I'm only friends with the sisters," she explained.

Arthur considered her words for a moment and then nodded. "Okay, let's go then."

'Good, I want to see what your true power is, Invincible.'

Kira wasn't here for the sword gems as she was not a sword practitioner. She was here to have fun and maybe find a treasure her grandfather asked her to look for.

'Uh, I just want to have fun.' These were her real thoughts but she was used to not revealing her emotions.

As they prepared to leave, Zordian, the leader of the Sword Alliance Faction, turned his back and said to his followers, "Let's move."

Maria called out to Kira, "Be safe!" before joining Zordian and the others.

Meanwhile, Thomas slipped away quietly, trying to remain unnoticed. However, Arthur caught sight of him and couldn't help but feel intrigued.

"Have you done it, Cora?" he asked mentally.

"Yes," Cora replied.

Arthur then added, "You forgot something, Cora."

Reluctantly, Cora replied, "Fine, yes, Master. Are you happy now?"

"Well, I would be happier if you said that seductively," Arthur teased.

With his faction gathered, Arthur and his members left the scene, and Julius brought out a formation plate and activated a small scale formation tha prevented outsiders from hearing their conversation.

as did the other disciples, except for the Blood Sword Faction and Julius with his team.

Crixus and Julius went aside to a distance no one could hear them and Julius brought out a formation plate and activated a small scale formation tha prevented outsiders from hearing their conversation.

"Do you have it?" Crixus asked.

"Yes,"Julius nodded with a smile and brought out a red or that was glowing a bit.

"This will guide us to that ancient cultivator?"

"Indeed, my father went through great lengths to acquire this from a mighty figure."

"I see. We must be discreet about it then." Crixus nodded.

Julius flicked the orb to him and said, "Anyway, to each his own. Remember our agreement."

Crixus smiled, "Sure."

"But before we leave there is something I am curious about?" Crixus asked with a contemplating expression.

"What is it?" Julius wondered out loud.

"The Emperor's adopted son, Arthur. Why have there been no words about him lately?"

Julius frowned with a hint of disdain, "Oh that trash? He is probably desperately looking for means to help him cultivate."

"Trash? Asides from being unable to absorb essence energy there is no one who matches his wisdom and intelligence in our generation, or so I have heard."

"Matchless wisdom? Isn't it just because he had brought the Empire a few benefits? In this world only true strength matters or else I would not have been able to have some 'fun' with him when we were younger and get away with it." Julius chuckled as he recalled some 'funny' memories.

Crixus understood that he might have bullied Arthur in past, and decided to change the conversation.

"Anyway, this object will benefit both our parties. We must not waste time on the off chance tha someone else might get to it before us."

Julius nodded before asking, "I also have a question of my own. Who is the Invincible that I keep hearing about in your sect?"
