Chapter 731: Chapter 681: Only the Non-Human King can Obtain it
“Witch God Sect Leader, you owe us an explanation,” Blood Fiend Ancestor’s face turned cold, he said sternly.
At this moment, the smile on his face had completely faded, replaced by a cold glint in his eyes. His expression was somber, totally devoid of any humor.
Clearly, the appearance of this Divine Weapon, especially its falling into Zhu Houji’s hands, left him feeling quite displeased.
The Human Path Treasure, Xuanyuan Divine Sword!
Legend has it to be one of the top Divine Weapons, a weapon wielded by the Xuan Yuan Clan’s leader of the human race during ancient times. This Divine Weapon is said to have been forged from the copper collected by various tribes. One side of the blade depicts the sun, moon, and stars, while the other displays mountains and rivers. One side of the hilt bears the art of cultivation and farming, while the other inscribes strategies for unification. Kur contains infinite power within it and is known as a divine sword for vanquishing demons.
Such a superior Divine Weapon has always commanded the attention of all parties who, since the Da Xia Divine Dynasty, assumed it to vanished completely. However, numerous powerhouses of the human race could still sense that this divine sword was under the control of humans given that their Qi Luck was not affected much.
The Witch God Sect was initially created to perform sacrificial rites for the human race, and its members were esteemed for overseeing these ceremonies, thereby facilitating communication with the gods of Heaven and Earth. Even when sovereigns of the human race were present, the Witch God Sect enjoyed a remarkable status and was highly respected by the human sovereigns.
Therefore, when the Xuanyuan Divine Sword initially disappeared, many powerful entities and factions speculated that it was likely in the hands of the Witch God Sect.
After all, the Witch Sect was revered as a rites-master who governed religious ceremonies, a close confidant highly trusted by the human sovereigns, and who kept many secret human clan functions. It was not far-fetched that the Da Xia Divine Dynasty entrusted the Witch God Sect with the safeguarding of the Divine Weapon.
However, in the knowledge that only a human king could wield this divine weapon, it was assumed to remain under the control of the Witch God Sect. Therefore, many powerful entities and top factions chose to accept this arrangement temporarily.
In particular, even though subsequent divine dynasties emerged, the Witch God Sect never mentioned this matter, seemingly not intending to reveal the Human Path Treasure, a top-tier divine weapon. This made the various powerful entities and top factions even more satisfied, eventually leading to a tacit agreement to help them conceal this matter.
Otherwise, later, when numerous divine dynasties tried to suppress Heaven and Earth, there were lords who wanted to seek this divine weapon, the Human Path Treasure. However, despite their good chances of finding the Xuanyuan Divine Sword in the hands of the Witch God Sect, they were unable to obtain it in the face of a coalition of top entities and powerhouses.
After all, a divine dynasty standing at the peak would, at most, only gain an exceptional individual from obtaining the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, meaning the enhancement was not significant. Thus, it was not worth falling out with the many top entities and powerhouses over it.
From then on, this top-tier Human Path Treasure, the Divine Weapon, was silently harnessed by the Witch God Sect to suppress the Qi Luck of the human race, with no one becoming the master of the divine weapon.
It can be said that even though the Human Path Treasure, the Xuanyuan Sword, was held in the Witch God Sect, the powerhouses and top factions collectively contributed to it. Otherwise, facing the exploration of numerous divine dynasties, the Witch God Sect alone could hardly protect the Divine Weapon.
“It’s just a mere top-tier Divine Weapon!” The Witch God Sect Leader chuckled lightly.
At Blood Fiend Ancestor’s stern questioning, he seemed entirely unbothered, speaking nonchalantly.
“Is this about a top-tier Divine Weapon?” The Blood Fiend Ancestor’s face darkened, barely holding back his anger, he said in a low voice.
It was more than that. Not only Blood Fiend Ancestor, but other strongest beings of the Demonic Way did not have to speak to share the same sentiment. They all demanded an explanation from Witch God Sect Leader.
Even the remaining powerhouses of the Righteous Path had their expressions unchanged at that moment, their eyes looking at the Witch God Sect Leader rather unfriendly.
The Xuanyuan Divine Sword, a top-tier divine weapon.
But is it really that simple?
If it were merely a top-tier divine weapon, however powerful, it would be utterly insignificant to these supreme beings.
However, the Xuanyuan Divine Sword is way more than that. Besides its unparalleled power, it-the symbol of immense significance-represents one of the human race’s ancestral treasures during ancient times. Worshiped by countless humans, it is the symbol of the human sovereign.
The Xuanyuan Divine Sword may only be used by human kings.
Although the current Great Ming Divine Dynasty is remarkable, due to Pei Xuanjing’s protection, they temporarily accepted the existence of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty. However, this does not mean that they will truly allow the Great Ming Divine Dynasty to continue growing in power.
The previous peak divine dynasty was so powerful, suppressing Heaven and Earth, making many powerful individuals evade its presence. Even top factions needed to abide by the laws of the divine dynasty. This was a great restriction for those standing at the peak of Heaven and Earth, and for those factions, it was like living in perpetual darkness.
No one wanted to see another divine dynasty emerge and rise, stepping on their heads. Therefore, none of the ancient countries of the Sky Wasteland dared to ascend, nor were they allowed by the many mightiest beings for thousands of years.
However, now, this Human Path Treasure has been given to the Great Ming Divine Dynasty by the Witch God Sect Leader, seized by Emperor Zhu Houji of Great Ming, which in the eyes of many mightiest beings, it is undoubtedly backing the trend, aiding a tyrant in his mischief.
No matter what purpose the Witch God Sect Leader has in mind and what deals were made, it is intolerable, and they must get an explanation.
“What else?” The Witch God Sect Leader countered.
“This divine weapon must not fall into the hands of a human king again. This is the will of many supreme beings. Are you planning to defy it?” The Blood Fiend Ancestor roared angrily.
“Hehe.” Hearing the words of the Blood Fiend Ancestor, the Witch God Sect Leader’s face turned serious, and he laughed, “You all seem a bit self-righteous. The Xuanyuan Sword is in the hands of my Witch God Sect, and I can give it to whoever I wish. When did my Witch God Sect ever agree to the will of the many supreme beings?”
Others may fear the Blood Fiend Ancestor, but he did not fear this old demon at all. The Xuanyuan Sword was always under the protection of the Witch God Sect, it was not up to them. Their agreement was made by them, and it had nothing to do with the Witch God Sect. The Witch God Sect never promised them anything in the first place.
The words of the Witch God Sect made the Blood Fiend Ancestor’s face pale momentarily.
Seeing the atmosphere getting tense, Pei Xuanjing, as the host of the event, had no choice but to intervene to smooth things over: “Fellow experts, let’s discuss this matter later, we’re still waiting for the end of the competition, agree?”
Although Pei Xuanjing did not know about this matter, he was acutely aware of the timing and therefore gave a signal that neither the current time nor setting was appropriate, hoping that these supreme beings could suppress their emotions temporarily.
“Since the opponent has already used the Xuanyuan Sword, do we need to wait to see the result of the competition?” An supreme entity of the Sword Sect disdainfully said.
