Maximum Comprehension: Taking Care of Swords In A Sword Pavilion Chapter 2264: 1020, do you think Commander Han can become a marquis by winning a single battle?

Chapter 2264: 1020, do you think Commander Han can become a marquis by winning a single battle?

The Heaven-Stabilizing Seal consists of three pieces, each a golden seal held by the leader of the Heaven Suppressing Guard.

Sighting this seal signifies the command of the Heaven Suppressing Guard.

In the Great Pantheon Plane nowadays, only the royal family controls one of the golden Heaven-Stabilizing Seals, which they use to manipulate the Heaven Suppressing Guard.

The seal in Han Muye’s hand not only allows him to command the Heaven Suppressing Guard but also represents the ident.i.ty of the Heaven-Stabilizing Sword Sect.

Years ago, the Heaven-Stabilizing Sword Sect fragmented into the Thirty-Six Sword Sects, leaderless and slowly declining.

“Boom——”

Between heaven and earth, the sword light that spanned the sky and earth incited the origin power of the entire Great Pantheon Plane to surge wildly, beneath the three-foot-long sword, figures knelt down, not daring to lift their heads.

Those sword cultivators felt the sword power within their bodies churn uncontrollably.

This moment of Sword Dao comprehension surpa.s.sed thousands of years of the past!

By just lifting their heads, they could witness the strongest sword in the world!

The sword light in the sky persisted for a Hundred Breaths before slowly dissipating.

This sword demonstrated that the Heaven-Stabilizing Sword Sect was about to regather, and the number one sword of the Wuling Continent was on the verge of return, signaling the resurrection of the strongest Sword Dao general trend from the days of the Immortal Dynasty.

At this moment, across the entire Great Pantheon Plane, those cultivators above the Dominion Realm all sensed the change and couldn’t help but look up.

In a boundless large city millions of miles away, an elderly man dressed in a brocade robe looked up with profoundly shining eyes.

In front of him, a golden seal floated, gently rotating.

“The Heaven-Stabilizing Seal?”

“Yu Shaotang died beyond the reaches of the Great Pantheon Plane back then. Has the Heaven-Stabilizing Seal returned?”

With a wave of his hand, the golden seal fell into his palm, and the elder bellowed, “Zhao Qun, come to me.”

In less than half an hour, a large Han clad in a green martial arts robe and wearing a Purple Gold Crown hurried in.

“Zhao Qun pays respects to the elder ancestor.”

The large Han bowed.

“The Heaven-Stabilizing Seal has reappeared in Wuling Continent. Go, bring that seal back.”

“The Heaven Suppressing Guard can only be controlled by our royal family.”

The elder at the head of the room spoke indifferently, an aura of lethal intent emanating from him.

These words made the large Han bowing below hesitate momentarily.

“Elder ancestor, the Heaven Suppressing Guard was originally under the joint control of the three parties. Isn’t it good that the Heaven-Stabilizing Sword Sect’s seal has returned?”

“Moreover, before His Majesty went into seclusion, he stated that the Heaven Suppressing Guard must not be disturbed lightly, and that the royal family’s offerings can only govern, without the right to dispose——”

Before he could finish, the brocade-robed elder already waved his hand, wrapping the large Han in a golden light and tossing him out of the great hall.

“Does this elder need you to tell me what to do?”

“If you won’t go, let Zhao Jing do it.”

The large Han, tossed outside the hall, wore a complex expression, and with a bow said, “I am incompetent, let Zhao Jing go.”

After speaking, he turned and left.

Walking out of the s.p.a.cious courtyard, his previously taut expression relaxed, revealing a slight smirk.

“His Majesty will soon emerge from seclusion, and the great army that went to the outer realm is about to return. Who would be so foolish as to leave the Imperial City at this time?”

“Moreover, there is someone who, with the Heaven-Stabilizing Seal, can proclaim to the world without fear of the royal family searching for him. Does he truly believe that there are no strong beings in the world who can contend with the royal family? The Great Pantheon Plane is teeming with beings of the G.o.d Realm.”

…

In Wuling Continent, Shenhe Prefecture.

The prefecture-level city spans three hundred miles in length and width and is a large city inhabited by millions of cultivators.

The talk of the town is about the reconstruction of the Heaven-Stabilizing Sword Sect.

Additionally, the campaign to conquer the heavens has ended, and although the losses are not less than before, two million soldiers are returning, all of whom will exchange their merits.

It is said that two younger members of the city have already returned, exchanging fifty thousand merit tokens at the prefecture office.

What does fifty thousand merit tokens mean?

A hundred military exploits allow entry into the Heaven Suppressing Guard, a thousand can be exchanged for the military rank of Patrol Guard Colonel.

Ten thousand military exploits can be exchanged for the position of a deputy general through merits.

If exchanged for materials, fifty thousand merits can make a Core Formation cultivator above the Life and Death Realm.

However, those two city elites no longer need to exchange for materials.

The materials they brought back themselves, even by selling just a fraction of it, have caused a commotion throughout half the city.

Especially a few Void Shattering Pearls, which have sparked a bidding war among the major trading companies.

What’s most unbelievable is that these two, who originally lacked potential and whose families had meager resources, have now both reached the Life and Death Realm!

Their family elders were just at Half-step Universe.

Upon returning to their families, they immediately took on the status of the family elders.

This is just the beginning.

As more people come to the Prefectural City to exchange resources, everyone realizes that this campaign to conquer the heavens is fundamentally different from the past.

Every soldier who came to exchange for a merit token had at least ten thousand military merits!

How was that possible?

Among those returning soldiers, each of them was at least at the peak of the Prime Origin Realm or a Half-Step Universe.

Not a single cultivator below the Prime Origin Realm!

What happened during the battle for the heavens?

When that three-foot-long sword appeared in the sky, combined with the events of the battle for the heavens, rumors about this century’s war finally began to circulate in Shenhe Prefecture.

Han Muye.

The leader of the All-Encompa.s.sing Sword Sect, Han Muye, claimed the Heaven-Stabilizing Seal lost in the Outer Realm during the battle and inherited the legacy of the Heaven-Stabilizing Sword Sect.

With the legacy, he led his army to sweep through half of the Plane, gaining an immense amount of military merits.

Generals came to exchange for military merits, among them were those with a million military exploits, directly invited by the County Governor’s mansion as Karma Realm overhauls.

Gradually, the entire city began to antic.i.p.ate, waiting for the disciples of the All-Encompa.s.sing Sword Sect to exchange their military merits, waiting for the great commander who held control over the army to exchange his merits.

Besides the antic.i.p.ating cultivators in the city, sword cultivators from billions of miles around were rushing towards the Prefectural City of Shenhe Prefecture.

With the legacy of the Heaven-Stabilizing Sword Sect available, who wouldn’t want to come?

Reuniting the Heaven-Stabilizing Sword Sect was a significant event, how could they not come?

In half a month’s time, the city saw an increase of several million sword cultivators.

This filled the city with swirling sword lights, resembling a Sword Cultivator’s City.

“Boom——”

In the distance, one flying vessel after another arrived across the sky.

“That’s the people from the All-Encompa.s.sing Sword Sect!”

“Goodness, such a display of might, are there so many experts above the Life and Death Realm?”

“It’s said that among them, there are even Half-Step Dominion Core Formation cultivators.”

All the cultivators in the city were waiting.

One by one, the flying vessels landed, and Zhang Mingyuan walked out of the cabin first.

“I have seen Marshal Zhang!”

“Greetings Marshal Zhang!”

Voices rose in front of the Prefectural City.

Zhang Mingyuan, representing Han Muye in command of the army, was called “Marshal Zhang.”

Zhang Mingyuan cupped his fists towards everyone around and quickly stepped into the city.

“Heh, General Zhang, everything has been arranged on the County Governor’s side, just waiting for the brave warriors of the All-Encompa.s.sing Sword Sect to come and exchange their military exploits,” a green-robed elder laughed lightly at the city gate.

Zhang Mingyuan nodded and followed the elder to the grand hall where military merits were exchanged.

Outside the grand hall, countless people looked up in awe.

Zhang Mingyuan handed over his ident.i.ty token, and a civil official took it, wrapping it in golden light for verification.

“Boom——”

On a summer afternoon, Liu Sisi was leaning against the tree roots by the back wall, staring blankly at the sky above her head, still unable to recover from the current situation.

A few married women pa.s.sing by the Di Family’s courtyard looked at her from a distance and whispered to each other.

“Do you think the Di family’s new bride is not right? Her gaze is so straight, and she looks so foolish. Could it be because a high fever turned her into an idiot?”

“Don’t you know, this new wife of Di Yelei isn’t like any ordinary person. I heard that she had something going on with Businessman Zhang from the city… Anyway, she failed to escape marriage and jumped into the river on her wedding night. She ended up like this because of the cold she caught while having a high fever.”

“If you ask me, what’s the use of keeping such a shameless daughter-in-law? Better just tie her up and sell her to the brothel to save on medical expenses.”

“Di Yelei is pretty good actually. If it weren’t for his two children, he wouldn’t have married this disaster of a woman back home…”

The chirping in her ears made Liu Sisi gently close her eyes.

She had heard similar gossip over the past few days, but she simply did not pay attention to them!

Others thought she had caught a cold from escaping marriage and falling into the water, staying sick for several days. However, only she knew that she had changed her core by now, and she was no longer the same person.

The original her was just an orphan whose parents had died, grew up with her grandpa in their rural hometown. When she got her first month’s salary after graduating from college, she bought a bottle of red wine to celebrate, but after getting drunk, she woke up as this Liu Sisi, who had attempted to escape her wedding and drowned in an accident.

The gossip from a few married women suddenly woke up her idle thoughts, and she realized that she had forgotten about the big problem waiting for her!

A hurried footsteps were heard, and soon, a big man appeared before her eyes.

Di Yelei had just come back from the old house, and with a belly full of idle anger, he felt suffocated and irritable when he thought about his sickly wife lying in bed.

His biological mother pa.s.sed away as soon as he was born, and tragedy struck his betrothed wife before their marriage. Years later, he finally found a new wife. Just when their lives were starting to improve, she had a fall and died, leaving him with two children and a mountain of debt.

Initially, Aunt Zhang had persuaded him, thinking about his young children, and hearing the matchmaker talking up the bride’s beauty and abilities. He gritted his teeth and agreed to the marriage, but in the end, it turned out like this.

Although he no longer longed for a harmonious and loving married life, the bride’s suicide attempt on their wedding night made him both angry and annoyed!

Fortunately, there was no loss of life. That was the silver lining within this misfortune.

Being a man with a doomed and unfaithful destiny, it might have been fatal if he were to “taint” the bride to death on their wedding night. In that case, his already tarnished reputation would continue to plummet, and there would be no possibility of marrying again.

He and his two children might even be driven out of the village and forced to live in isolation.

Thinking like this, he could not help but hasten his pace.

Just as he approached the courtyard, he saw Liu Sisi sitting dumbfounded under the big tree roots, looking up at the sky overhead.

As daylight sprinkled over her head, creating a dappled halo that cast her pretty face in an extraordinary beauty, such otherworldly beauty was definitely not something an ordinary villager like him could match.

With this thought, Di Yelei felt an inexplicable irritation as he met her big eyes.

Their lost and helpless, teary, resentful eyes seemed like a frightened and pitiful deer, instantly striking the softest part deep in his heart. He could not help but sigh heavily.

“Are you awake? Why don’t you sleep a little longer? It’s hot outside, let’s go inside and talk.”

As his deep, m.u.f.fled voice rang out, a pair of large, bronze-colored hands reached out, reflecting a shiny radiance under the sunlight.

Liu Sisi blinked, her disheveled mind not able to process the situation.

She pushed away his support, trying to get up with her weak legs, almost coming into intimate contact with the ground again, but was immediately caught by Di Yelei.

“Be careful! When you’re still weak, just lie down in bed, don’t come outside and try to act tough. You’re really driving me crazy!”

Finally, there was a hint of warm anger in Liu Sisi’s eyes, reminding her of everyone’s gossip and losing her temper.

Although the incident was caused by the original host, she didn’t inherit the information left by the original host. However, the man in front of her didn’t let her live or die on her own. He had taken care of her, sought medical treatment, and hadn’t sold her directly to the brothel. He had done more than enough for her!

Just as she was considering what to do, Di Yelei casually pulled her into the main entrance, and with a bang, the door was heavily closed behind them.

“Let go of me, you’re hurting my hand!” Liu Sisi struggled.

Not far off, on a pavilion, dozens of officials from the Immortal Dynasty wearing robes of various colors wore expressions of antic.i.p.ation, their gazes firmly fixed on the direction of the grand hall.

“If Commander Han can ama.s.s over one billion in military exploits by himself, and become a marquis with a single battle, he will be Shenhe Prefecture’s first Heaven-Conquering Military Marquis.”
