Within the Black Heaven Sect, the air was filled with the collective hum and whistling of countless blades.
From the courtyard where Chu Kuangren resided, a pillar of light suddenly erupted toward the heavens, surrounded by the rotation of innumerable massive Daoist runes. The phenomenon was accompanied by the echoing sounds of Daoist chants.
These runes wove together within the light beam, manifesting into the shape of a heart.
This heart possessed nine orifices, and with every rhythmic throb, sword qi surged back and forth. The sound of clashing metal and gold resonated alongside each heartbeat.
“W-what is happening?!”
“To trigger an anomaly of such magnitude, has some kind of Daoist physique been awakened?!”
“A heart born with nine orifices that houses sword qi... Could this be the legendary Supreme Daoist Physique... the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart?!!!”
“Tch, it has been nearly ten millennia since this Daoist physique last graced the world, hasn't it? How could it suddenly emerge, and right within the territory of the Black Heaven Sect!?”
“That location... it’s the outer sect courtyard.”
“Is it possible that an outer sect disciple has awakened this constitution?”
“How could that be possible?!”
From the paramount Elders down to the disciples of the outer sect, everyone in the Black Heaven Sect was shaken by this sudden disturbance.
As the bond between Chu Kuangren and the sword heart intensified, the power of the anomaly grew, radiating far beyond the borders of the Black Heaven Sect.
In an instant, the majority of the powerhouses across the Azure Dragon Domain sensed the change.
Within a massive city.
A man in white, sitting cross-legged atop a high tower, snapped his eyes open and gazed toward the Black Heaven Sect. “This aura signifies the birth of a Supreme Daoist Physique!”
Throughout recorded history, Supreme Daoist Physiques had appeared only a handful of times.
Any individual possessing a Supreme Daoist Physique held the potential to reach the Emperor Realm.
In the long history of the Firmament Star, very few almighty cultivators had ever successfully achieved the Emperor Realm.
“The Black Heaven Sect lies in that direction. Could a young Emperor be emerging from their ranks in this era? How interesting.”
The man in white let out a soft laugh before closing his eyes again, his expression returning to one of calm indifference.
.........
Inside a magnificent main hall.
A man with a domineering presence sat upon a throne, staring toward the Black Heaven Sect while muttering, “A Supreme Daoist Physique! To think another would appear in this age. Heh, it truly is an era of war!”
“But regardless of who it is, the imperial throne of this generation belongs to no one but me!”
“Anyone who dares to challenge me shall meet their end!”
.........
Atop a blood-colored lotus seat overlooking a turbulent sea of blood, an old man sat. Sensing the shift in the distance, his expression darkened instantly.
“The aura of a Supreme Daoist Physique!”
“Is it coming from the Black Heaven Sect? Humph, it seems I must accelerate the incubation of the Blood Spirit Daoist Fetus.”
“Only then can I claim the imperial throne in this lifetime.”
“The struggle is truly intensifying.”
.........
Back at the Black Heaven Sect.
The strength of the anomaly surged in tandem with the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart.
A multitude of swordsmen found they could no longer restrain the weapons in their grip. Countless blades escaped their masters' hands, transforming into streaks of light as they raced toward Chu Kuangren’s location.
In the distance stood a mountain peak bristling with embedded swords.
Suddenly, the entire mountain began to rumble and quake!
One after another, swords took flight, soaring toward the place where Chu Kuangren stood.
“F*ck! Those are the swords from Black Heaven Sword Mountain!”
“Look quickly! That is the sacred weapon, the Purple Firmament Sword!!!”
“No, it isn't just the Purple Firmament Sword; the Azure Vine, Crimson Drill, Dragon’s Cry, and Tai’e are there too... those are all saint weapons!!!”
“The Black Heaven Sect is renowned for its sword arts. Upon joining, disciples must go to Sword Mountain to select a blade to accompany them. Legend says there are Ten Great Sacred Swords, yet few disciples ever earn their recognition! In this generation, only Daoist Nan Gonghuang managed to gain the acknowledgment of a sacred weapon, the Deep Pool Rainbow.”
“But now, these sacred weapons are flying over of their own accord. It looks as if they are desperate to acknowledge a master. This is unbelievable! Who is causing this?!”
“Sacred weapons seeking out a master on their own? How terrifying!”
The sight was majestic beyond compare as thousands of swords circled above the courtyard.
One by one, figures began to arrive at the scene. Among them, an elder with white eyebrows called out loudly, “Disciple in the courtyard, please come forth!”
The door opened with a slow creak.
Dressed in the white robes of an outer sect disciple, Chu Kuangren stepped out. With legendary swords swirling around him, his handsome features and refined aura made him appear like a Daoist sword deity descended to earth.
Every person present was captivated by the sight of him.
“Who is this? He looks so dignified and handsome.”
“He is far too handsome. With an aura that refined, I would believe it if someone said he was an immortal's reincarnation. How is there such an extraordinary talent in the outer sect?”
“If this person were a woman, she would be as beautiful as jade; as a man, he is the picture of an elegant noble son.”
“It’s him, Chu Kuangren.”
“That can't be right, it really is Chu Kuangren? He was good-looking before, but not to this ridiculous degree, right? How could he change so much in just the two days we haven't seen him? Is he really the one who awakened a Supreme Daoist Physique?”
“I heard a True Elder Martial Sister wanted him for herself, but he refused. She severely injured him in her rage, so he was supposed to be bedridden. I never expected him to be the source of this commotion.”
“Damn, it’s no wonder that True Elder Martial Sister wanted to keep him. If I were her, I wouldn't be able to stop myself either.”
“Wake up, you’re a man.”
The disciples gossiped incessantly, their reactions ranging from amazement and shock to pure infatuation. It was clear that Chu Kuangren’s Banished Immortal Aura had stunned the crowd.
High in the air, a beautiful female Elder couldn't help but wear a strange expression upon seeing Chu Kuangren. Her mental state, usually as calm as an ancient well, felt a slight ripple. “Isn't it a violation of the rules for someone to have an aura and a face like that?”
By this time, Chu Kuangren had fully integrated with the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart. The anomaly above the courtyard faded away, yet the countless swords continued to hover over him, refusing to leave.
A few swords stood out among the rest, their blades shimmering with jeweled light and marked by prominent Daoist runes. Under the overwhelming pressure of these few, the other swords did not dare to approach too closely.
‘Do they wish for me to be their master???’
Sacred swords possessed spirits. Chu Kuangren could seemingly sense their intent, leaving him amazed. He hadn't realized the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart held such allure.
Or perhaps it was the combined effect of the Sword Heart and his Banished Immortal Aura?
Regardless, Chu Kuangren knew he couldn't simply do as he pleased. These sacred weapons were the crown jewels of the Black Heaven Sect. If he claimed them all, what would the other disciples and Elders think?
His Daoist physique had only just awakened; if he greedily snatched up the sacred weapons now, it would reflect poorly on his character.
Such a temperament would make it difficult to maintain a position of true power.
Ignoring the sacred weapons surrounding him, Chu Kuangren walked straight toward the white-browed elder. He bowed deeply in greeting.
“Outer sect disciple Chu Kuangren offers his respects to all the Elders.”
The white-browed elder nodded with a look of approval. ‘He can withstand the lure of sacred weapons. Excellent, this boy truly possesses a strong heart.’
Seeing the elder's expression, Chu Kuangren immediately guessed his thoughts. ‘Heh, all part of the plan.’
“Chu Kuangren, were you the cause of this anomaly?”
“It is likely so.”
Chu Kuangren adopted a look of uncertainty.
“What do you mean, 'likely'?”
“Elder, I was resting inside today when my body was suddenly racked with unbearable pain, as if I were being torn apart. Right after that, a beam of light erupted from me, and then this occurred,” Chu Kuangren explained.
Since he couldn't disclose the existence of the Fantasy Roulette, he had to pretend the Daoist physique had manifested spontaneously.
“I see.” In a flash, the white-browed elder appeared before Chu Kuangren. He took hold of the young man’s arm, sending a thread of spirit energy into him to perform an inspection.
Chu Kuangren remained perfectly still, allowing the elder to proceed.
Moments later, the white-browed elder’s face lit up with joy. He laughed heartily and shouted with excitement, “It truly is the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart! The heavens are truly shielding my Black Heaven Sect! We finally have a Supreme Daoist Physique in this generation!!!”
