Chapter 641: Chapter 636: The Myriad Swords Sect’s Relocation

The black Jade Cocoon stood taller than a man. A rosy light swirled across its surface, interwoven with flickering runes that gave it an air of profound mystery.

Yue Lianxi’s origins were anything but ordinary. She shared no blood ties with Yue Wenfu; according to him, he had found her in the Ancient Forbidden Land many years ago.

After raising her for so many years, however, Yue Wenfu had long come to see Yue Lianxi as his own flesh and blood, treating her as his own granddaughter.

And so, at this moment, he was extremely tense.

Ning Jiang remained silent, placing his palm on the Jade Cocoon. Woven from Jade Silk, it felt smooth and cool to the touch. From within, he could clearly feel the fluctuations of life.

With his vast knowledge, Ning Jiang naturally had some idea of Yue Lianxi’s origins. For her, this was a transformation of the utmost importance.

"Hm? What’s happening?"

Yue Wenfu suddenly let out a soft cry of alarm. The Jade Cocoon, which had been emitting steady waves of life force, suddenly began to weaken.

The sensation was like watching a vibrant person suddenly begin to waste away.

Instantly, his heart leaped into his throat.

"She needs something crucial to complete this transformation," Ning Jiang said, his words holding a deeper meaning.

"What is it?"

Yue Wenfu said in a rush, "I’ll go find it at once."

Ning Jiang shook his head. "You won’t be able to find it. Even if I were to plunder the treasuries of the Seven Great Super Sects, I still wouldn’t find this item."

It’s not just rare in the Six Eastern Provinces; it’s practically unheard of in the entire Great Thousand Realms.

"Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it."

Ning Jiang didn’t elaborate.

But he wouldn’t stand idly by where Yue Lianxi was concerned. She had once gone to the Star Sword Sect to beg for a Longevity Fruit on his behalf. He owed her a debt of gratitude for that, a debt he would never forget.

With a wave of his sleeve, Ning Jiang stored the Jade Cocoon directly in his Storage Ring.

"Go and gather the others. Tell them we leave for the East Sea tonight." Ning Jiang was decisive.

"Yes."

Yue Wenfu’s heart tightened. He knew that when Ning Jiang spoke those words, he was giving a command as the Sect Leader.

「An incense stick’s time later.」

Inside the main hall, everyone had assembled.

Lin Zhan, Fang Xue, Li Kuangba, Liu Bingxue, and even the former Sword King Chu Bai and Sword King Duan Wuya were all present.

Sword King Chu Bai, Sword King Duan Wuya, and Vajra King Meng Bubai had all been brought into the Myriad Swords Sect by Ning Jiang. In the year since, the cultivation of all three had advanced by leaps and bounds, and they had long since stepped into the Earth Martial Realm.

This was especially true for Sword King Chu Bai. If Ning Jiang had never appeared, Chu Bai would have been the number one Sword Cultivator in the Cyan Cloud Country. He was obsessed with the Sword Dao—a true sword fanatic. Now, he had already comprehended Sword Intent, and his power was great enough to rank him among the top five experts in the current Myriad Swords Sect.

"Little Brother, we’re going to the East Sea?"

Ning Yu’an asked, surprised.

"Sister An, let’s talk about it on the way."

...

A short while later, a colossal sword took flight, soaring into the clouds and heading for the East Sea. This sword was a treasure from the Celestial Sword Sect known as the Sword Cloud Pavilion, which had now fallen into Ning Jiang’s possession.

It was named the Sword Cloud Pavilion because the colossal sword was adorned with numerous pavilions and grand halls. Currently, within these structures, were Ning Jiang and about a hundred of the Myriad Swords Sect’s most talented members.

He planned to bring all these talents from the Myriad Swords Sect with him to the East Sea to further their development.

For one, the Myriad Treasures Exquisite Tower in the East Sea would serve as a powerful asset. For another, the region was now his main base of operations, home to numerous Kings who could provide the best possible guidance for these outstanding talents.

More importantly, Ning Jiang couldn’t stay in the Six Eastern Provinces forever. He would have to leave eventually. Once he was gone, the Myriad Swords Sect would lose its greatest protector. If Little Celestial King Luo Wushuang came seeking revenge at that time, the consequences would be unthinkable.

As for the other disciples of the Myriad Swords Sect, they were temporarily left behind in the Six Eastern Provinces.

Ning Jiang planned to ask a few Kings to transport the remaining disciples to the East Sea once he was established there.

"Sect Leader, what is the current political landscape in the East Sea? I heard it’s the Undying Celestial King’s territory. Won’t we run into problems by entering so rashly?"

Yue Wenfu asked, concerned.

Ning Jiang planned to move everyone from the Myriad Swords Sect to the East Sea. This would inevitably lead to competition for resources. Would the major powers of the East Sea tolerate such a move?

It was a given that established powers would resist the entry of a new one. After all, no one wanted a newcomer suddenly appearing on their turf to compete for their resources.

"The East Sea is currently in a three-way standoff. Since we have some time now, I’ll tell you all about it," Ning Jiang said.

As he explained the situation in the East Sea, shock gradually spread across everyone’s faces.

The Chaos Alliance, the Other Shore, the Dragon God Celestial Palace...

As it turned out, Ning Jiang was now the representative of the Dragon God Celestial Palace, a faction that boasted nearly thirty Celestial Martial Realm Kings.

The number stunned them all into disbelief.

The Six Eastern Provinces, after all, had only seven Kings, and those seven had ruled the region for hundreds, even thousands, of years. Yet Ning Jiang’s Dragon God Celestial Palace had around thirty Kings. A force of that magnitude could annihilate the Six Eastern Provinces ten times over!

"Brother Lin Zhan, do you now understand how short-sighted it would be to remain in the Six Eastern Provinces?" Yue Wenfu lamented, turning to Lin Zhan beside him.

Lin Zhan had been the Sect Leader of the War Elephant Sect before joining Ning Jiang’s Myriad Swords Sect and becoming a Vice Sect Leader, just like Yue Wenfu.

Lin Zhan gave a wry smile. "You’re right. My perspective was far too narrow."

When Ning Jiang first proposed moving the Myriad Swords Sect to the East Sea, Lin Zhan had been against it. He believed that with the fall of the Seven Great Super Sects, the Myriad Swords Sect had the perfect opportunity to become the sole hegemon, controlling all the countless resources and territories of the Six Eastern Provinces.

In a single stroke, the Myriad Swords Sect could become the number one sect in the Six Eastern Provinces.

But now, hearing how powerful the Dragon God Celestial Palace in the East Sea was, he realized his previous thinking had been utterly provincial—like a frog in a well.

Compared to the East Sea, the Six Eastern Provinces were just a small, backward backwater. The East Sea, on the other hand, was a stage a hundred times grander!

"The Myriad Treasures Exquisite Tower... the number one supreme treasure of the East Sea. Can we also attempt the Linglong Tower’s trial?"

A beautiful woman standing nearby asked. It was Lan Nongyu.

"That’s right."

Ning Jiang nodded. "The Linglong Tower’s trial originally opened only once every ten years, but I’ve reached an agreement with the Myriad Treasures Exquisite Tower. The trial can now be open at all times."

"I want to try it, too."

Ning Yu’an was also curious and eager to give it a try.

"With your strength, Sister An, passing the eighth floor won’t be a problem," Ning Jiang said with a faint smile.

Watching their close interaction, a flicker of barely perceptible envy crossed Lan Nongyu’s beautiful eyes.

"We’re here."

The Sword Cloud Pavilion was incredibly fast, arriving at the Myriad Treasures Exquisite Tower just one day later.
