Chapter 56: Xuanyuan Sword
Tianzhou.
Great Sui Dynasty.
Imperial Palace.
Emperor Yang Guang of Sui dismissed his attendants, leaving only two people in the imperial study.
One was a middle-aged man with a powerful aura and a natural majesty between his brows. He was none other than Yang Lin, the Reliable Mountain King of the Great Sui.
The other was a young man, clad in golden armor, holding a golden divine sword, with a sharp aura and extraordinary bearing.
He was none other than Yuwen Tuo, the Protecting-Nation Teacher of the Great Sui.
The sword in his hand was the ancient divine sword—Xuanyuan Sword.
These two were the two pillars of the Great Sui.
The Reliable Mountain King Yang Lin commanded the army, and his Prison Dragon Staff was invincible wherever it went.
Yuwen Tuo wielded the Xuanyuan Sword, his cultivation reaching the pinnacle, suppressing both the martial world and the imperial court.
However, even so.
Emperor Yang Guang of Sui still felt powerless; the world was simply too chaotic.
Beacon fires rose everywhere, and the lords were carving out their own territories.
In the martial world, the Cihang Jingzhai, under the guise of supporting the world, was backing the lords, choosing the next emperor on behalf of Heaven.
The two sects and six paths of the Demonic Sect were also supporting their own people, vying for supremacy.
In the imperial court, Tang King Li Yuan had carved out his own territory, his eldest son Li Jiancheng commanding the Buliangren, who were omnipresent.
His second son, Li Shimin, commanded the Black Armored Army, and was skilled in both civil and military affairs, with a large number of strategists and generals gathered under his command, his momentum limitless.
His fourth son, Li Yuanba, possessed natural divine strength, wielding a Thunder Drum Golden Hammer, easily splitting through thousands of troops. Even the Reliable Mountain King Yang Lin was no match for him; only the Protecting-Nation Teacher Yuwen Tuo, with his Xuanyuan Sword, could fight him.
And there were several lords like Li Yuan in his Great Sui.
Liang King Zhu Wen, with an army of 300,000, his eldest son Zhu Yougui cultivated the Jiuyou Xuantian Art, establishing the Xuanming Sect, calling himself the Netherworld Emperor; his second son Zhu Youwen was known as the Ghost King, shaking the martial world.
Jin King Li Keyong, with an army of 200,000, had thirteen adopted sons under his command, their names resounding throughout the land. Except for the second son, Li Cunxu, all the other twelve were adopted sons.
He organized the Tongwen Hall with twelve of his adopted sons from the thirteen Taibao.
Besides Li Siyuan, known as the Holy Lord, and Li Sizhao, known as the Sub-Sage, the Tongwen Hall had ten gates, ‘Benevolence, Righteousness, Propriety, Wisdom, Faith, Loyalty, Filial Piety, Grace, Courage, and Endurance,’ each headed by one of the adopted sons.
Qi King Li Maozhen, with an army of 200,000, secretly calling himself the Empress, established the Illusory Sound Sect, with the Nine Heavens Holy Ji under his command…
Besides these, there was also the Heavenly Blade Song Que, who had carved out his own territory in Lingnan, the Yuwen Clan, which was increasingly slipping out of control, and rebels like Li Mi of Wagang Fortress, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, and Liu Wuzhou…
Yang Guang felt a headache just thinking about it, his heart and mind exhausted.
He raised his head, staring at the sky, his gaze distant:
“The appearance of the Great Dao Golden List has already made the world chaotic enough, and now the unification of the Nine Continents will surely lead to a great change in the world’s structure. This Great Sui… the only people I can trust are my Royal Uncle and the National Teacher; the rest are all wolves with wild ambitions…”
“Your Majesty, please rest assured, this old subject will pledge this old body to wipe out the rebels, sweep away the universe for Your Majesty, and will not hesitate to die ten thousand times.”
The Reliable Mountain King Yang Lin said in a deep voice.
When it came to loyalty to the Great Sui, he would not accept second place to anyone.
“Royal Uncle is the pillar of the Great Sui, the pillar of the sky. The rebels can be left unpunished, but Royal Uncle must take care of your body and must not have any accidents.”
Yang Guang helped Yang Lin up, moved.
“This subject will use the sword in my hand to slay all those who are disloyal to Your Majesty.”
Yuwen Tuo followed suit.
“I trust the National Teacher.”
Yang Guang looked at Yang Lin and Yuwen Tuo: “Now that the Nine Continents are about to unify, the Great Dao Golden List will display the national lists of each continent. I believe there will definitely be a general list of the Nine Continents.”
“With the National Teacher’s abilities and the sharpness of the Xuanyuan Sword, you will surely occupy the top of the Nine Continents list, obtain the Great Dao rewards, and reach a higher level of cultivation.”
On the Great Sui Divine Weapon List, the Xuanyuan Sword was ranked first.
Even if the Nine Continents were to unify, Yang Guang had confidence.
Yuwen Tuo was the same, he said, “If the reward is beneficial to Your Majesty, this subject is willing to offer it.”
Yang Guang waved his hand, saying, “The National Teacher has already given me the Three Revolutions Fortune Pill as a reward, allowing me to live a hundred years longer and advance my cultivation to the Heaven-Human Realm. How can I take your rewards again?”
“Besides the Divine Weapon List, there is also the Military Unit List, and there will be more lists in the future. There is still a long way to go.”
Yang Guang had gained a hundred years of life and made great progress in his cultivation, so he was no longer eager for rewards.
Moreover, snatching the rewards of his subjects, even if they were loyal, would cause problems.
He had that much insight and magnanimity.
Yang Guang looked at the Golden List in the sky again: “Let us see what divine weapons and military units the other continents have!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Great Dao Golden List in the sky bloomed with endless rosy clouds, and a new list appeared next to the Great Sui Divine Weapon List.
As this list appeared, endless sword intent filled the sky, and the swords of the world rang out.

“Middle Continent Great Qin? It’s actually a Divine Sword List, not a Divine Weapon List. Could it be that Great Qin mainly uses swords?”
Yang Guang thought to himself.
Because this was a list that had already been announced, it was now displayed simultaneously, revealing all the rankings at once.
Unlike the appearance of a new list, which was revealed one by one from the bottom up.
And when looking at the list, they naturally looked from the top down.
“King’s Power Sword, a sword of Heaven and Earth, King’s Power dominates the world, what an imposing name!”
Yang Guang praised, seeing the divine sword at the top of the list.
This work is organized and uploaded by 69 Book Bar~~
“Your Majesty, this Martial God is likely a master of martial arts, and he also holds the second-ranked Netherworld Sword.”
The Reliable Mountain King Yang Lin said.
“Indeed! He actually calls himself the Martial God, I wonder if he is truly worthy of the name…”
Yang Guang nodded slightly, his gaze continuing downwards.
The next moment.
Both he and the Reliable Mountain King Yang Lin were stunned.
“How is this possible? The Chi You Sword is actually ranked third?”
Yang Guang’s eyes were filled with surprise, disbelief.
The Chi You Sword was an ancient divine sword, capable of rivaling the Xuanyuan Sword.
Such a divine sword was only ranked third.
In his opinion, without the Xuanyuan Sword, the Chi You Sword was enough to occupy the top spot.
“The Chi You Sword is ranked third. If there was a Nine Continents Divine Weapon List, the Xuanyuan Sword might not be able to take the top spot.”
Yang Guang thought to himself.
The rewards for the top spot on the Nine Continents General List would surely be abundant.
Although he had said he did not want Yuwen Tuo’s rewards, Yuwen Tuo becoming stronger would also increase the strength of his Great Sui Dynasty.
“Martial God… could it be him?”
While Yang Guang and Yang Lin were shocked by the ranking of the Chi You Sword, Yuwen Tuo was staring at the name of the Martial God, his eyes filled with sword intent, exclaiming in surprise.
“Oh? National Teacher knows the Martial God?”
Yang Guang and Yang Lin were surprised and looked at Yuwen Tuo.
They knew that the Martial God was from the Middle Continent Great Qin.
And Yuwen Tuo was in Tianzhou.
Logically, they should not know each other.
“Your Majesty, many years ago, this subject encountered a mysterious person. That person had an extraordinary temperament, unparalleled handsomeness, like a perfect god, making others feel ashamed of themselves.”
“This subject has never seen anyone like him in my life.”
Yuwen Tuo bowed, and continued, “Of course, the most surprising thing was not his unparalleled beauty and temperament, but his age and strength.”
“Although he was tall and had a lazy temperament, like a charming young master, this subject could feel that his life force was extremely young, definitely not exceeding eighteen years old.”
“But even so…”
“I drew the Xuanyuan Sword and struck with all my might, but I was still defeated by him in one move.”
“The other party did not even draw his sword; he merely used his fingers as a sword, and a sword qi defeated me!”
“What? A sword qi defeated the National Teacher?”
“Could the other party be an old monster who has returned to his youth?”
Yang Guang and Yang Lin were shocked.
They knew Yuwen Tuo’s talent and strength better than anyone.
They did not expect that there would be such a person in the world.
He was simply not human.
Yuwen Tuo said, “Even now that I have stepped into the Divine Void Realm, which is said to be the Earthly Immortal Realm, I feel that I am still no match for him at that time!”
“At that time, I asked him his name and what that move was called.”
“He only left eight words, and then left gracefully.”
“What words?”
Yang Guang and Yang Lin’s curiosity was piqued. There was actually such a powerful person in the world?
He was already so terrifying then, what realm would he be in now?
Yuwen Tuo’s eyes were filled with reminiscence.
He spoke each word clearly, his voice deep:
“Martial Arts Reaching the Divine Realm!”
“Heaven’s Mandate Sword Way.”
