Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1278: Chapter 1277: The Will of the Blade

Six months passed quickly.

During this half-year, numerous forces did not continue to open up new regions; instead, they stayed within the Barren Land, merely dispatching some disciples to patrol the area of a billion miles that had been opened up previously.

Compared to the Barren Land, this expansive billion-mile region is significantly larger. The oppressive feeling from standing in the Barren Land and looking out is no longer present, and everyone’s mood improves day by day.

Various major forces have dispatched a considerable number of disciples, using the Teleportation Formation to travel to the places where Su Han laid other formations on the Dragon Martial Continent. ℯℯ𝘭.

Such as the Holy Spirit Palace’s former Sect Residence, the One Slash Palace, and... the Phoenix Sect Residence.

Finally, news arrived.

Almost all the places they traveled to were occupied by Extraterritorial Demons; the former Sect Residences have been completely destroyed, be it that of the Phoenix Sect or the Holy Spirit Palace.

As for places like the One Slash Palace, the outside is also filled with Extraterritorial Demons, overwhelming in numbers, much like the Barren Land was initially, but certainly not to the extent of the Barren Land here.

No single force wishes to make a move at this moment; they all have withdrawn, hoping for the Extraterritorial Demons to disperse.

But these Extraterritorial Demons... can they really disperse on their own?

Wishful thinking!

...

On this day, Su Han sat outside his palace, looking towards the two figures in front of him.

These two figures, a boy and a girl, were about twelve or thirteen years old. The girl was very beautiful, and although young, she already revealed the makings of a beauty.

As for the boy, he was tall, with his hair falling loosely, and had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. Holding a long knife, his presence was imposing when he waved it.

They were exactly Su Qing and Su Yao!

With the passing of years, they had grown up.

Su Yao had always been very obedient, while Su Qing, though somewhat unruly in his childhood, had undergone so many experiences that his focus had completely returned to cultivation.

Su Han often said, ”In this world, there are many people and complex relationships, but ultimately, the only one you can rely on is yourself.”

This saying had deeply imprinted itself in their hearts, and in those prior years, they had indeed experienced it firsthand.

Considering the many crises Su Han encountered, although many helped, why did he survive in the end?

It was because of himself!

Thus, they cultivated day and night.

The two of them were indeed highly talented, coupled with Su Han’s dedicated nurturing and the accumulation of resources, so now their Flesh Cultivation had reached the Peak of the Dragon God Realm.

As for their Martial Path Cultivation, it was also at the Peak of the Dragon God Realm!

A twelve- or thirteen-year-old at the Peak of the Dragon God Realm, such talent was unparalleled on the Dragon Martial Continent, even when considering the starry sky, it was exceptional.

After all, Phantom Spirit and others were nearly thirty years old, and their Martial Path Cultivation on arrival was at the Dragon Emperor Realm.

When Su Qing and Su Yao reached the Dragon Emperor Realm, their age was certainly much younger.

”Father.”

While Su Han was contemplating, Su Qing’s voice came, ”I have always been puzzled about what sword technique relies on—whether it’s one’s own cultivation, overall strength, or perhaps... the secret technique of the sword technique?”

Su Han pursed his lips and said, ”The sword, king of all weapons, akin to each Grand Power’s Sect Master Level figures. What do you think these Sect Master Level figures rely on?”

”Of course it’s...”

Su Qing almost blurted out, thinking these Sect Masters relied on their own talent and formidable strength; otherwise, how could they lead a Sect?

But he suddenly recalled Su Han, thought of his own father.

Father was also a Sect Master, and there were stronger individuals in the Phoenix Sect than Su Han—like Shen Li, who first reached the Dragon Emperor Realm, or Ling Xiao with their terrifying physique.

These two had once effortlessly overshadowed Su Han. But why do they still hold Su Han in such respect?

Did Su Han help them?

Perhaps it was because they were grateful, showing respect for Su Han.

But gratitude is something that fades when strength becomes utterly imbalanced between parties.

No gratitude can last forever; even parents ultimately part, not to mention those unfilial children emerging.

”If not for these reasons, what is it for?” Su Qing furrowed his smooth forehead.

Su Han didn’t answer; he merely smiled quietly at him.

One’s own enlightenment leads to a deeper impression.

...

Then, three days passed.

Throughout these three days, Su Qing stood before the palace, continuously pondering.

No one disturbed him; Su Han would wait for him here every morning, and seeing that he still hadn’t figured it out, he would shake his head and leave.

On the fourth day, when Su Han approached, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

”Father, I’ve figured it out!”

Su Qing’s face was filled with excitement. ”Strength is one aspect, talent is intangible, unseen by others, and what you rely on... is your Soul Power, your wisdom!”

Upon hearing this, Su Han’s mouth finally curled into a smile. ”Go on.”

”Each Sect Master, aiming to advance their power and strengthen their faction, must be fearless and daring. This is Soul Power!”

”Along with being daring, they must also consider: how strong their Sect’s power is, who and which forces can they afford to offend; this is wisdom!”

Su Qing laughed heartily, ”A sword is just like these Sect Masters.”

”The sword is the king of all weapons. When drawn, it must charge forward, without hesitation. Once unleashed, there must be no regret!”

”This is... the sword’s Will, and also the sword wielder’s Will!”

”The sword’s Will belongs to those Sect Masters’ Soul Power, and the sword wielder’s Will belongs to the Sect Masters’ wisdom!”

As he listened to Su Qing, Su Han’s smile grew wider.

Indeed, his child’s comprehension was ultimately strong.

He hadn’t voiced it, but Su Qing still grasped it.

Just like in the One Slash Palace; they don’t draw their swords easily, but when they do, they go all out.

Of course, gaining insight is one thing, but actually doing it is not so easy.

...

Excitedly, Su Qing went off to practice his sword techniques, and Su Han was about to leave, but at that moment, a stunning figure stood outside the palace.

Su Han turned to look, and with a light smile, asked, ”What are you doing here?”

”From today, I’m your neighbor!”

Phantom Spirit waved her hand, sending a Storage Ring floating towards Su Han.

”Inside it are a billion Blood Crystals; I’ve bought the palace next to yours!”
