Dark at night.
Inside the room of Chu Yang, the seven brothers were all gathered together. It was the first time they were gathered together as a group since they last met a year or so ago. They could not help but feel a little emotional.
Everyone actually had a feeling as if they had not met for a lifetime. Under such an atmosphere, no one uttered a word. Each of them felt a warm feeling billowing in their heart. Even the most talkative Luo Kedi and Ji Mo kept their mouths shut. At times, their lips would quiver for a moment and then shut tightly immediately again.
Mo Tianji smiled reservedly and said, “It’s alright. It’s at least a level that would not disappoint Big Brother.”
“Oh? Tell me about it?” Chu Yang asked with an interested look.
Gu Duxing cleared his throat and said, “This seclusion, it was all thanks to Xieyun’s Treasure of the Divine Dragon. Inside, there was much unimaginable good stuff… It really helped us to improve so quickly… I am currently a First Grade Sword Supremacy.” Gu Duxing raised his eyebrows.
You could not blame him for being proud of himself. A year ago, he was still a Sword Emperor and now, a Sword Supremacy… This was at a speed never been achieved before in history. Therefore, even with Gu Duxing’s coldness, he could not help but feel proud of his own achievements.
He was only the first to speak and Chu Yang was already shocked!
How was it possible to have such a huge improvement? It was just a little bit over a year of time…
Could it be possible that the treasures which the brothers opened were actually different treasures made with the same skills of the Fairy race? If that was the case, then all would make sense.
“Supreme Martial Artist, First Grade!” Ji Mo was the second to speak, with a bit of arrogance in his face. The complacency in his face was almost attracting a kick to his face.
“Supreme Martial Artist, First Grade.” Ao Xieyun nodded his head slowly, with demeanor and elegance.
“Me too, Supreme Martial Artist, First Grade.” Luo Kedi touched the bruise on his face and his eyebrows were lifted high up as if they were dancing energetically. At this moment, when Chu Yang looked at Luo Kedi’s eyebrows, it was as if he had an illusion of seeing Tan Tan.
“So am I.” Xie Danqiong smiled reservedly,
Chu Yang let out a long sigh. “This is really great!”
In an instant, the few brothers felt that the dark days which they spent during this past one year or so… were worth it! Really worth it! To be able to receive this kind of positive response from Chu Yang, even if it was for an additional one year, they would willingly accept it…
Ao Xieyun hurriedly waved his hands and said, “Tianji, these words that you are saying are meaningless. I especially don’t like to hear them.”
He understood Mo Tianji’s intentions. On the surface, it was pure courtesy, but in reality, it was him pointing out Ao Xieyun’s merits, in order to let Chu Yang, this Big Brother, know what was going on.
After all, when they established the Nine Super Clans in the future, they would still need a ranking between the clans.
This ranking would be dependent on the contributions of each of these brothers. Furthermore, it needed to be the kind of ranking that everyone was convinced of.
Moreover, from the tone of Ao Xieyun’s reply, Chu Yang already knew that this group of brothers had truly bonded together. Chu Yang was really delighted in his heart.
The few brothers were chattering and they narrated their stories during their time in the secret chamber. Chu Yang listened on intently. Especially the few times when Luo Kedi and Ji Mo were fooling around, it made Chu Yang burst into laughter.
Mo Tianji was also full of smiles and his mood was exceptionally carefree. Seeing that Chu Yang had returned, this had relieved him of a huge burden on his shoulders. His entire body became much relaxed.
He knew that if Chu Yang did not return, then sooner or later, this group of brothers would go separate ways. By that time, regardless of what he did, he would be the most unforgivable person in the group!
This was because he had fabricated a lot of news.
In order to keep the group united together until now.
Now that Chu Yang had returned, be it fabricated news or truth, it was no longer important! The most important thing now was that the group had a core!
“Big Brother, what did you do during this period of time?” Ji Mo sat forward and said, “Don’t just let us talk, talk about yourself too.”
Chu Yang smiled warmly. “Indeed, there are a few things that I would like to tell everyone.”
The eyes of Gu Duxing gleamed and the few brothers became serious.
“That day… I was at the Lake of Despair… Thereafter, I went to Upper Three Heavens, after which…” Chu Yang talked tirelessly, in a well-organized manner.
Following Chu Yang’s narration, everyone’s expression changed as well. Sometimes they were cheering, sometimes they had a serious look and sometimes, they looked as though they were in deep imagination!
When Chu Yang talked about Dong Wushang and Rui Butong, the crowd was obviously in high spirits.
“How is Wushang doing now?” Ji Mo thrust his chest forward. “Is he a match for me now?”
“Wushang… if I did not estimate wrongly, he should have achieved the level of a Saber Supremacy, First Grade, by now.” Chu Yang looked at Ji Mo, as if he had a hidden meaning and said, “You can find him to swap some pointers.”
The crowd broke out into huge laughter!
Ji Mo’s face turned bitter and he said depressingly, “This a*shole actually improved so quickly, I’m greatly disappointed.”
“Then now, we really have the voice of a phoenix and the notes of a dragon?” Mo Tianji asked while in deep thoughts.
After talking about Chu Yang’s encounters in the Upper Three Heavens, the brothers sat down quietly without any movements.
“Now, I will tell you about the second matter.”
“Everyone may have found it strange that I was able to level up my strength so quickly! How did I come to possess so many mysterious and rare medicines? I…” Chu Yang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “My brothers, I’m so sorry to conceal this from you. I am the current Nine Tribulations Sword Master!”
Although Mo Tianji predicted this earlier on, this was the first time Chu Yang had publicly acknowledged his own identity! How could hearing the same prediction from other people’s mouth be compared to hearing it directly from Chu Yang himself?
Gu Duxing was considered calm. However, his throat suddenly gave out a light “Ga” sound. It seemed like he had accidentally bitten his own tongue.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chu Yang slowly extended his right hand and in it, there was nothing at all.
However, the next moment, the thing that caused everyone to be extremely shocked suddenly appeared.
In the empty palms of Chu Yang, a tiny sword, only the length of a little finger, suddenly appeared. It was shining brightly and crystal clear!
However, there was no sword hilt, no sword tassel, no…
It was this kind of half-completed sword.
Clang!
The long swords were paying their utmost respect to the almighty King of all swords!
Although it was merely a half-completed product, the aura which it was producing at this moment was insufferably arrogant! Proud of the past and present, supremacy over all.
Clang!
Everyone’s eyes were instantly focused on the sword.
Gu Duxing was staring intently at the sword, full of admiration and respect like during a pilgrimage. Although it was still incomplete, it was the widely acknowledged number one sword in the world!
Ninety thousand years of chaos were all caused by this sword! How many times of misery and suffering, all because of this sword! The fall of many influential and powerful characters, all because of this sword! Many legends were possible because of this sword! Many sins, also because of this sword!
In the past ninety thousand years, the people who died because of the sword were at least more than tens of billions!
Tens of billions of lives to cast the indisputably mighty reputation of the Nine Tribulations Sword! Tens of billions… what level of idea and scale was this?
….
