Chapter 21: Yellow Emperor’s Divine Sword!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

[This is the personal weapon of the Yellow Emperor, a human expert from 20,000 years ago. It was called the ‘Emperor’s Heart’. It once followed the Yellow Emperor in battles everywhere, making a name for itself. After the Yellow Emperor died, this weapon felt that no one in the world was worthy to be its master, so it sealed itself and became rusty.]

I actually found the personal weapon of the ancient powerhouse, the Yellow Emperor, here?

Shen Ran was stunned.

Who was the Yellow Emperor?

He was one of the powerhouses who had quickly risen after the Azure Supreme disappeared from the mortal world.

20,000 years ago, the Yellow Emperor and the Flame Emperor each ruled half of the territory of the Fantasy World.

At that time, other than the Flame Emperor, no one was his match!

In the legends, this “Emperor’s Heart” was the best material in the entire fantasy world that the Yellow Emperor had obtained. Coupled with half of the luck of living beings, the Heaven Splitting Divine Sword was cast!

Unmatched!

It was one of the top five legendary divine artifacts in human history!

The Yellow Emperor had once created a shocking record of killing 300 True Emperors with a single sword strike!

Shen Ran looked up at the narrative of the entire pile of weapons.

[It’s a pile of scrap weapons. The weapons inside are considered useless scrap metal.]

Perhaps no one in the entire fantasy world would have thought that the famous divine artifact “Emperor’s Heart” in the 20,000 years of human history was hidden in such an inconspicuous pile of abandoned weapons in the Empyrean Sword Sect!

Heaven’s will! Heaven’s will!

Shen Ran wanted to raise his head and laugh.

This time, he did not obtain opportunities by observing other people’s narratives.

With his own luck, he had made it to this place and stood facing the ‘Emperor’s Heart’. If that wasn’t providence, what was?

I, Shen Ran, am indeed the son of destiny! I was born to cultivate the Dao and deal with calamities!

In a good mood, Shen Ran pulled out the Emperor’s Heart buried in the pile of old weapons.

He held it in his hand and studied it carefully.

At this moment, this Emperor’s Heart was wrapped in mottled heavy rust. If it were anyone else standing here, they would not believe that it was actually a supreme divine sword, the Emperor’s Heart.

Shen Ran’s slender fingers kept rubbing the rust spots on the Emperor’s Heart, as if he was looking at the woman he loved the most.

“Emperor’s Heart, oh Emperor’s Heart, you will regain your former glory in my hands!”

Looking at the Divine Sword, Emperor’s Heart, that was as cold and silent as ordinary scrap metal, Shen Ran said softly.

Then he had a thought.

A line of small words appeared under the narrative of the Emperor’s Heart.

[Do you want to modify the narrative?]

[Note: Currently, the host can modify the narrative 3X.]

Phew…

Shen Ran took a deep breath, and the divine light in his eyes began to flicker violently!

“System, modify the narrative!”

Instantly, all the narratives about the Emperor’s Heart were cleared and displayed as pending input.

Without any hesitation, Shen Ran began to type the narrative.

[This is an ancient divine artifact, the ‘Emperor’s Heart’. After the fall of the Yellow Emperor, this weapon felt that no one in the world was worthy of being its master. Therefore, it sealed itself and turned into its current rusty appearance. It was waiting for a young man who was born for cultivation and was born to face calamity, a young man with Supreme Bones, to deal with it. The moment it touched the young man’s palm, the Emperor’s Heart that had been silent for 10,000 years would wake up from its slumber and acknowledge the young man as its master. It would regain its dignity from 10,000 years ago!]

With excitement, Shen Ran finished modifying the narrative of the Emperor’s Heart.

Is that reasonable? It’s … a little unreasonable.

Just as he was about to confirm the modification, Shen Ran suddenly thought of something and continued to modify the narrative.

[… After 10,000 years, the awakened Emperor’s Heart, which possessed wisdom and intelligence, would be able to perfectly adapt to and display the lethality of the young man’s strength as his strength increased!]

After writing this, Shen Ran took a deep breath and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

That was close. Fortunately, I was quick witted. Otherwise, when the Emperor’s Heart woke up, it would probably suck me dry on the spot.

Admittedly, the higher the quality of the weapon, the better. However, the prerequisite was that the person using the weapon had the ability to control it.

For example, if you wanted to use a sword as your own weapon, you had to be strong enough to hold it.

It was just like if you wanted to pick a powerful giant gun for a weapon.

First, you needed to have the strength to handle the gun smoothly and aim it at the enemy.

At the same time, you also needed to be able to withstand the recoil that could be produced when a bullet was fired.

Otherwise, if you could not even lift your gun steadily, then you would not be able to aim accurately and hit the enemy.

When you fired, the recoil would shatter the bones in your arm. It was clearly not worth it.

Shen Ran had to add the subsequent description to the Emperor’s Heart’s narrative.

Otherwise, the consequence would be dire. The Emperor’s Heart, which was the weapon of the True Emperor, would awaken and acknowledge Shen Ran as its master. Then it would instantly suck dry all of his cultivation.

Shen Ran would immediately turn into a dried corpse which lost all its vital force.

Meanwhile, the Emperor’s Heart would continue to seal itself away and remain silent in the midst of this pile of discarded weapons.

As the weapon of a True Emperor, the Emperor’s Heart naturally needed the user to have a matching True Emperor realm to perfectly control it.

Hence, Shen Ran quickly introduced the Emperor’s Heart narrative and added a blurb.

[As his strength increased, he would awaken the corresponding power at the same time.]

There’s no problem now! This Emperor’s Heart is able to mature after I changed the narrative. It’s completely fitting for me to use until I reach the True Emperor Realm!

Shen Ran said excitedly, “System, generate a new narrative!”

[Ding! Narrative in progress…]

[Ding! Narrative completed!!!]

“Boom!!!”

In Shen Ran’s hand, the Emperor’s Heart wrapped in rust began to tremble violently.

It seemed to be jumping for joy that after ten thousand years, it had finally found a compatible new owner.

The mottled rust on it began to peel off, and endless dazzling golden light dissipated from the Emperor’s Heart.

All the weapons in the treasure vault trembled as the Emperor’s Heart’s aura spread.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

The tens of thousands of weapons placed on the weapons rack automatically broke away and flew over.

Spiraling above Shen Ran’s head, they kept spinning and making continuous sounds.

Seeming to be paying respects to Emperor’s Heart, this divine artifact that had awakened after 10,000 years of silence!

“Huh? Why did my weapon suddenly come off me and fly toward the treasure vault?”

“Mine too. Is this an experiment within the sect?”

At the same time, on the nine peaks of the Empyrean Sword Sect, the weapons of both the disciples and the higher-ups involuntarily left their masters and flew towards the sky above the Treasure Pavilion.

Tens of thousands of swords of various colors circled above the Treasure Pavilion. The scene was spectacular.

All kinds of glorious rays emitted from those weapons.

In an instant, colorful rays lit up the whole sky!

These weapons were all celebrating the return of the Emperor!

“Do you want to go too?”

In the depths of the First Summit, the founder of the Empyrean Sword Sect smiled at the horsetail whisk that was trembling in his hand.

This horsetail whisk had followed him for thousands of years and had long developed intelligence.

Hearing the Great Ancestor’s question, the horsetail whisk calmed down a little.

“Go on.”

The Great Ancestor laughed softly and let go.

The horsetail whisk immediately circled around the ancestor like a human before flying towards the Treasure Pavilion.

The Great Ancestor of the Empyrean Sword Sect looked in the direction of the Treasure Pavilion.

His gaze was ancient and profound, as if it could pass through the obstructions of alpine and buildings, cross space and time, and directly see Shen Ran holding the Emperor’s Heart.

“How many surprises and thrills are you going to give me, young prodigy?”
