Perhaps feeling embarrassed, the Ji family's patriarch, who was also the rotating patriarch for the past 100 years, said solemnly, "Xianyu, your husband's recognition by the World-Defeating Sword and the Holy Spirit Turing really shows that he has amazing potential and will have the opportunity to become an unrivaled powerhouse in the future.
It's not that our Thirteen Clans are narrow-minded, nor is it that our Thirteen Clans are short-sighted, but he is an outsider after all. If he takes the World-Slaying Sword and the Atlas of the Holy Spirit, how can we guarantee his loyalty to the Thirteen Clans in the future
If he is from the Thirteen Clans, even if he is just a collateral clan member, we will not hesitate to use all the Thirteen Clans’ cultivation resources to make him a peerless powerhouse.”
Everyone from the thirteen clans raised their objections.
"He is not of our race. If we give him the Sword of World Destruction and the Atlas of Living Beings, how can our Thirteen Clans feel at ease?"
"What if he turns against us after his cultivation becomes great? How will our Thirteen Clans deal with it? Although this possibility is not high, we can still rule it out, right?"
Jiang Xianyu pondered for a moment, turned around, and hugged Xu Lian, "Husband, can you promise me one thing?"
Xu Lian looked at her and said, "You said, if it is within my ability, of course I will agree."
Jiang Xianyu blushed and said, "Can our child take my last name Jiang from now on?"
Xu Lian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, of course I can."
Jiang Xianyu turned to look at the people from the Thirteen Clans, "Did you hear that? The child will take my surname, so he is the direct descendant of the Jiang family. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. My husband would never hurt his own child no matter what. Do you have any objections?"
The people from the thirteen clans looked at each other and hesitated.
Suddenly, the sound of breaking water came from the outlet of the Demon Sealing Cave, which was also the location of the spring. A white-haired old man floated to the surface of the water, sitting cross-legged. He opened his eyes and glanced at Xu Lian, and uttered an old voice, "Give it to him."
All the people from the thirteen clans were stunned for a moment, then their faces lit up with joy, and with tears in their eyes they bowed to the old man.
“Meet the old patriarch!”
"The old patriarch is still alive!"...
Xu Lian was surprised. It seemed that this was an elder of the clan who was in seclusion in the spring. The heritage of the big clan was truly unfathomable. Who knew if there were other elders in the spring
The white-haired old man said, "The Weapon Storage Pavilion and the Collection Pavilion are extremely spiritual. They were able to give out the World-Slaying Sword and the Holy Spirit Atlas. This not only shows that his talent and potential are immeasurable, but also shows that he has no ill will towards the Thirteen Clans. Otherwise, the World-Slaying Sword and the Holy Spirit Atlas would not have recognized him.
Since the passing of the ancestors, the thirteen clans have been short of talent, and there has not been such a top genius till now. The weapons and secret manuals of cultivation techniques left by the ancestors have all been covered in dust and have become dull, which is such a pity.
Since he is the husband of the daughter of the Jiang family, according to the clan rules of the Thirteen Clans, he is not considered an outsider. Just give him the title and see how he can grow in the future."
Jiang Xianyu gestured to Xu Lian.
Xu Lian immediately bowed to the white-haired old man and said, "Thank you for your trust and cultivation, old clan leader. I can't promise anything, but the only thing I can guarantee is that the Sword of World Conqueror and the Atlas of the Holy Spirit will never be stained with the blood of the Thirteen Clans."
The white-haired old man said, "Good."
After getting permission, Xu Lian picked up the Sword of Destruction and the Atlas of the Holy Spirit at his feet.
The old man said nothing more, closed his eyes, and slowly sank into the water of the spring...
All the people from the thirteen clans looked at the World-Destroying Sword and the Holy Spirit Atlas in Xu Lian's hands with complicated eyes. These were the treasures left by their ancestors that they had long dreamed of, but the emperor did not recognize them and chose this outsider instead.
As if feeling that the previous scene had hurt the harmony a bit, Old Man Jiang said, "In fact, the children Xianyu gave birth to for you don't all have to have the surname Jiang. Just leave two or three with the surname Jiang, and the others can still take your surname."
From what he said, there must be at least five... Xu Lian thought about it and felt that it was possible and worthwhile.
Jiang Xianyu blushed and lowered her eyes without saying anything. The aggressive look she had just had on her to protect her husband was completely gone.
The rotating clan leader also wanted to ease the relationship, and talked to Xu Lian about the World-Slaying Sword and the Holy Spirit Atlas, "Do you know the origins of these two treasures?"
Xu Lian said, "I haven't asked yet."
The rotating clan leader said solemnly, "The Sword of Destroying the World is the life weapon of the first ancestor of the Jiang family. It is a peerless sword forged from dark-patterned divine iron. In the battle to suppress the Demon King, it was stained with demon blood and became even more powerful. It is definitely the best sword in the entire Taizhou Prefecture. Even in the entire You Dynasty, there are not many swords that can be compared with it.
As for the Holy Spirit Turing, it is even more amazing. It is a fragment of the immortal law obtained by the first ancestor of the thirteen clans during his peak period of battle in the sky. In the later years of the first ancestor of the thirteen clans, he combined his lifelong practice experience and continued to write the fragment of the immortal law, deducing and completing it step by step. It is actually a complete immortal law.
Unfortunately, it was too late for the first ancestor of the thirteen clans to complete the immortal law. He was already in his twilight years and had no time to practice this immortal law to perfection. Otherwise, the first ancestor of the thirteen clans would not have died of old age.
This is the greatest regret of the first generation of the Thirteen Clans, and it is also the regret of the descendants of the Thirteen Clans. I feel sorry for the ancestors."
Immortal technique? Xu Lian was shocked. It was hard to say whether there were immortals in this world, but there was such an immortal technique passed down.
The head of the Ying family highly praised this immortal technique, "If you can master the Holy Spirit Diagram by 30%, no one in the entire Taizhou Prefecture will be your opponent.
If you can master 50% of it, you will be among the top powerful people in the entire You Dynasty.
If you can master 80% of it, you will be the best in the world.
If you can master it to the fullest, you will surpass your ancestors. If you can’t be number one in the world, at least you will be invincible.”
"..." Xu Lian knew that there must be some exaggeration in this, but it also indirectly illustrates the power of this magic. Otherwise, the head of the winner's family would not dare to brag like this.
After taking a last reluctant look at the World-Slaying Sword and the Atlas of the Holy Spirit, the people from the twelve clans had no choice but to leave.
Only the Jiang family members were left behind and they returned to the Jiang family's warship together.
Mother Jiang told Xu Lian, "If you go out in the future, you must be careful. The World-Slaying Sword is nothing special. It is a peerless weapon that cannot be robbed by others. But the Holy Spirit Atlas is just a scroll of scriptures engraved on a tortoise shell after all. Its protective power is definitely not as high as the World-Slaying Sword. It is best to leave it here at the Jiang family and do not take it out easily. If you lose it, it will be a great sin. Then Xianyu and the entire Jiang family will not be able to protect you."
Xu Lian nodded, "I understand."
Immediately following.
Xu Lian said, "I want to retreat for a while and practice the Holy Spirit Atlas."
The entire Jiang family attached great importance to his retreat to practice the Holy Spirit Atlas. Old Master Jiang sent a pair of guards to guard outside the door of his retreat room.
Xu Lian sat on the cushion, slowly opened the tortoise shell scripture with both hands, and scanned it like a scanner... reading all the densely packed tiny characters.
Collecting...
Name: Xu Lian
Level: First level of Huajin period
Skills: Holy Spirit Atlas (Complete Edition), Wind-Breaking Sword Technique (Volumes 123), Seven Styles of Xian Gang (Complete Edition), Short Fighting - Chasing Shadows
Props: World-Defeating Sword (Nine-star Heavenly Grade, made of dark-patterned divine iron, extremely tough and sharp. Once unsheathed, it can trigger the sword domain of dark night blood and electricity. Within the sword domain, the sword holder will receive a huge amplification bonus)
Suddenly, the Holy Spirit Atlas was imprinted in his mind, and he mastered all the unique skills and secrets of the Holy Spirit Atlas.
Looking at these unique skills, his pupils contracted violently. He felt the magic of these unique skills, which were truly extraordinary.
"The Holy Spirit Atlas is indeed an immortal technique. Compared to the Holy Spirit Turing, the Wind-Breaking Sword Technique, the Seven Styles of the First Gang, and the Short Fight - Chasing Shadows are simply the moves of a child..."
With his current cultivation level of the first level of the Hua Jin Stage, he was unable to display all of the Holy Spirit Turing's unique skills, but being able to display a small part of it was enough for him to benefit greatly, and his combat power was increased by several small levels.
With the Holy Spirit Atlas, he seemed to be invincible among his peers, and it was not difficult for him to even defeat his opponents by leaping several small levels.
"Walk."
Xu Lian had an idea.
With a "whoosh", he left a shadow on the mat and appeared in the corner.
Another "whoosh" left a shadow in the corner, and he appeared in another corner.
As fast as teleportation, who can stand this
It's not only a body movement, but also a strange assassination method!
Xu Lian's mind moved again, and two afterimages smiled eerily, suddenly pounced over and grabbed his neck... It was so unexpected.
"Disperse."
He waved his hand.
The two afterimages disappeared.
"now."
He started reading.
Two afterimages suddenly appeared with a strange smile... It was really like a ghost.
"Try another secret method."
Xu Lian raised his palm, and the golden energy burned like a flame.
He casually struck out, and the golden energy instantly turned into a sharp golden sword, circling in the quiet room.
He sent out another golden energy which transformed into a golden flying knife that flew around him.
Don't underestimate it. It just changes the form of the golden energy. In essence, it is more condensed and its power is increased by several levels.
He tried some more forms.
In the shape of a tiger.
Eagle-shaped.
There are spiritual tree forms in Pingyang County.
There is also a seven-tailed fox form... which looks exactly like the white fox mine patroller.
He can type out anyone and anything he has seen.
"The Holy Spirit Atlas has greatly improved my immediate combat capability, but in the long run, the level of cultivation is the foundation."
Xu Lian did not become complacent. He was very clear-headed and knew he had to work hard to gain advancement points. Only when his rank was high enough could he unleash the true power of the World-Destroying Sword and the Atlas of the Holy Spirit.
"The Holy Spirit Atlas has been included in the skills. The retreat is over... But I retreated too quickly last time and scared Xianyu a little. I'll stay here a little longer this time."
Xu Lian did not come out immediately. He only came out at night.
