Chapter 204: Chapter 201: Storm Approaching, Returning Home

Fang Jie gritted his teeth and grabbed Pei Min.

“Pei Min, you leave, this life is my repayment to you.”

Pei Min did not speak, but reached out with one hand, in his eyes the flowing light of five colors intertwined, a five-colored lotus blossomed.

Five flying swords flew out continuously from Pei Min’s waist, the swords radiating five-colored light, some light and graceful, some heavy and sturdy, some wrapped in flames, some enveloped in mist, some arrogant and fierce, and some cold and threatening.

“Ting—”

The sound of swords resounded, and the five flying swords transformed into a stage of sword array in mid-air.

At this moment, the Great Demon had also reached Pei Min’s front.

The demon wind howled, like sharp knives scraping against Pei Min’s Protective Sword Gang, even before the two met, a sound of metal colliding was already heard.

Pei Min’s face remained calm, as he clenched his outstretched hand.

On his body, five strands of Sword Intent erupted, vaguely condensing into a Five-Colored Divine Lotus, while the sword array quickly started spinning.

“Boom—”

Spiritual Qi was extremely violent, the fierce Spiritual Qi drew the air, forming a hurricane blowing in all directions.

Standing behind Pei Min, Fang Jie was swept by the Spiritual Qi Storm and hurricane, covering his face with his arms.

When he uncovered his face again, all he saw was a rain of flesh and blood falling from the sky.

Pei Min’s aura contracted, his outstretched hand lowered, and the five flying swords obediently flew back to hover around Pei Min.

Pei Min’s demeanor was cold, completely different from the gentleness when conversing with Fang Jie.

“Pei…”

Fang Jie seemed to want to say something, only to see Pei Min’s slender fingers grip a flying sword emitting golden light.

The White Tiger Fierce Evil Sword, the Gold Dao is the most aligned with the Sword Dao within the Path of the Five Elements.

“Shoo—”

The sound of piercing through the air echoed, Pei Min vanished instantly, and when Fang Jie reacted, a lizard-like Demon Cultivator was pinned to the rock wall, the flying sword nailed into the Demon Pill, erasing its life in an instant, judging by the aura, this Demon Cultivator already had a Late-Stage Demon Pill cultivation equivalent to Late-Stage Foundation Establishment.

“Ah…”

Compared to the Cultivators of the Broken Cocoon Alliance, the Sword Cultivators of Sword Mountain River often defied the high cultivation of Broken Cocoon Alliance Cultivators with their lesser cultivation, although the higher the cultivation, the greater the gap between each other, making the possibility of defiance lesser.

However… to effortlessly kill a Demon Cultivator equivalent to Late-Stage Foundation Establishment with Early-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation…

Fang Jie was somewhat stunned.

“Fang Jie, I came to rescue you!” From afar, a bright female voice sounded, as a charming young woman in tight-fitting green clothing swiftly arrived here.

She saw the scene and was momentarily stunned.

“Junior Sister…” Fang Jie instinctively called out.

Pei Min smiled and departed.

“Wait, Pei Min!”

[You effortlessly destroyed two Great Demons, and now have a clear understanding of your current combat strength. Having stepped into Foundation Establishment for over two decades, you feel it’s about time for a breakthrough.]

[Fang Jie held you back, as a gratitude, he gave you a half-written Sword Scripture that piqued your interest. You glimpsed something related to the Path of the Five Elements, having arduously practiced the Five Elements Sword for over a decade, you are keenly sensitive to anything connected to the Five Elements.]

[You thanked Fang Jie and left.]

[In the ninety-seven thousand nine hundred sixty-five year of the Celestial Sword Calendar, Yijian Dynasty rebelled, several Golden Core Masters of the Broken Cocoon Alliance emerged, causing chaos in one region, drawing significant attention from Sword Mountain River.]

[You suspect that the Broken Cocoon Alliance is preparing for an event related to the Overseas Immortal Mountain.]

[You suddenly felt tense, not because of the impending turmoil, rather the anticipation excites you. What makes you tense is the presence of a Mortal Dynasty named the Jinn Dynasty near the Yijian Dynasty, with its predecessor being the Hongg Dynasty.]

[You actively took on the mission, your mentors are quite pleased with your insight.]

[Only you know why, having practiced sword techniques for fifty years, yet rarely returned home, you now feel a sense of guilt…]

Pei Min transformed into a sword light streaking across the horizon.

This is the essential Skill that every Sword Cultivator must practice, Sword Control Skill.

In the Gathering Yuan Realm, one can only rely on the Flying Heaven Sword Talisman to fly, but in the Foundation Establishment Realm, one can perform Sword Control Skill, freely soaring across the blue sky.

The Sword Control Skill is divided into two states.

One is stepping on the sword to fly, seen by Pei Min in past life films, this way is the primary stage and used when carrying passengers; it consumes less but rarely do Sword Cultivators use such sword control.

The other is the human-sword unity, breaking through the sky and soaring between heaven and earth, which also consumes more.

Despite not returning home for decades, Pei Min’s homesickness was suddenly triggered, making him rather impatient.

Both his parents had grown old, but with Pei Min constantly sending various life-extending heavenly materials and earthly treasures back, although not impossibly long, using Pei Min’s merit points, it’s enough to sustain the elderly couple to the maximum mortal life span of two Jiazi. This is indeed the limit for mortals.

“Yijian Dynasty? Humph…”

White light streaked across the sky.

……………

The Jinn Dynasty, a Mortal Dynasty that reached the peak of its strength.

Thirty-nine years ago, the previous dynasty collapsed overnight, rebel armies emerged everywhere, and Jianghu was in turmoil.

A large number of Martial Arts Grandmasters and Sword Saints went into seclusion, assisting various lords in competing across the Central Plains.

The whole Jianghu flourished to an unprecedented peak overnight.

The rule of the previous Hongg Dynasty was overturned in an instant.

At that time, everyone hoped to go to the Capital City, to ascend the supreme throne that overlooks the myriad people.

Yet, only one man remained loyal to the Imperial Court.

At this time, Ange County Captain gathered a troop alone, incorporated several rebel armies, and subdued several Martial Arts Grandmasters.

Starting from Ange County, accumulating grain while delaying the claim to the throne, building an empire.

However, Ange County Captain did not proclaim himself king. Instead, after the Imperial Court collapsed and the Royal Family was slaughtered, he supported a descendant of the Royal Family.

He established him as King Wanli.

Ultimately, Ange County Captain defeated the lords and recaptured the Capital City.

He supported King Wanli as the new Emperor.

People regarded him as Zhonghong, which means the Second Hongg Dynasty.

That Ange County Captain Pei Xiu became a generation’s legend, yet some mocked him for his outstanding abilities but a stubborn mind, unwilling to sit on the throne despite having the chance. Many scholars revered Pei Xiu as a sage, not for himself but for the common people, worrying before the world worries, joyous after the world is joyous, admired by numerous scholars.

With the Jinn Dynasty established, the newly crowned Emperor appointed the Ange County Captain as the National Guardian General, granted him the Immunity Token, and made him the Prime Minister.

Bestowed the title of Marquis, with the promise that as long as the Jinn Dynasty exists, so shall the Pei Family, with the Pei Family sharing the same fate as the nation.

Time flew by, and the legendary Prime Minister Pei Xiu, who once controlled the government and was second only to the Emperor, also retreated behind the scenes.

“Prime Minister Pei, the Yijian Dynasty has sent threats.”

“What… what should be done?”

The little emperor adorned in imperial robes, yet somewhat clumsy and adorable, was filled with anxiety.
