All Heavenly destiny reduced to ashes
Chapter 610 - 211 Mountain Master of Heavenly Sword Mountain

Chapter 610: Chapter 211 Mountain Master of Heavenly Sword Mountain

"So, is the system of Da Chen also of a similar origin?"

Holding the ’Taiji Formation Plate’, An Jing pensively looked towards the south, where Shenjing was located.

He murmured softly, "Is it the Heaven and Earth Core? Or could it be, Da Chen’s initial ancestor was also bestowed with the Heavenly Mandate? It probably isn’t..."

The ability granted to An Jing by the Taiji Formation Plate wasn’t really what he paid much attention to; the area around the Broken Blade Mountain Range turning into a spirited and blessed land didn’t attract him much — one must know oneself, and for someone like him, a Martial Meridian, even one that could battle the Divine Repository, such a place was definitively out of his reach.

Thus, such matters are best kept secret; it is not crucial for him to utilize unless necessary, and on the surface, An Jing had to continue closely following the steps of the Virtuous King, whether it was the Virtuous King sending someone to oversee, or managing it himself, or still having it under his control, he wouldn’t overtly reveal his authority.

This was a card close to his chest, not to be revealed frivolously.

At this moment, the attention from various powers was converging around the Broken Blade Mountain.

The thoughts of most people were simple.

[Virtuous King... actually has such tact?]

It’s not that they weren’t aware of An Jing, nor that they didn’t know An Jing was the main force holding the Evil Fragment and fighting against the Heavenly Demons, but to the Huai Xu Martial Artists, that was just An Jing’s ’Moment of Destiny’, a divine intervention that lets An Jing wield the sword against Frost Calamity.

When the Moment of Destiny arrives, the Life Holder is nearly invincible, capable of performing incredible and inconceivable feats; as a Jiuli Commanding General holding a fragment of the Ancient Heavenly Sword Subdue Evil, it was divinely intended for him to confront the Heavenly Demon Tribulation Soldiers of the Frost Calamity. His prestige was celestial, and though he was extremely crucial, post the Moment of Destiny, he was just a normal Emperor with Divine Mandate.

While saying this might seem kind of silly—how is an Emperor with Divine Mandate ’normal’? To those truly powerful beings, they only care about the Divine Mandate during the Moment of Destiny when nothing can stop it; whoever opposes, be it gods or Buddha, would be slain in this surge of destiny.

In front of this surge of destiny, even powerful factions dare not stand in its way.

Just like earlier, An Jing’s ’Moment of Destiny’, Sword Spirit, even with multiple forces and divisions of Great Heavenly Demon arriving, could not stop his wielding of the Evil Fragment from vanquishing all, and now even the Frost Calamity has collapsed and sealed. This is too much even for a Divine Mandate to believe.

It can only be the Moment of Destiny. Only possibly the Moment of Destiny!

As for Heavenly Mandate? What a joke!

Especially on the side of Dachen, they are particularly certain of this.

It can’t possibly be the Lord of the World, It can’t be the Heaven and Earth Honor, nor could it naturally be Ex Nihilo, and a Nature Master doesn’t manage such Heavenly Mandate.

As for the Seven Fiend Tribulation?

Haha, all the forces know at least one of An Jing’s parents is still alive!

Seven Fiend Tribulation, haha, what nonsense! How could there be a Seven Fiend Tribulation with a parent still alive? Just thinking about it makes one want to laugh, and saying it out loud is even more laughable.

This has been the unchanged norm for hundreds of thousands of years, on the Dachen side, whether it is the Imperial Court, or the officials of Wenwu, or the calculating Town Prince, none have any doubts on this.

And what they can be certain of is that the ’Virtuous King’ indeed made an amazing calculation, he had already foreseen An Jing’s Divine Mandate’s essence, and had discovered the Evil Fragment long ago, confirming that An Jing came to confront the Frost Calamity!

This was a comment made by a certain Dachen Town Prince to his subordinates, he was indeed correct, because the Virtuous King had thought of this; however, what he mentioned next was completely off-track: [We’ve all been deceived... Hmm, silently using the Divine Mandate’s Moment of Destiny, Heavenly Sword Fragment, invoking Heaven’s Will, ending the Frost Calamity, and breaking the quandary of Hanhai’s vast realm after Guangyun’s death.]

[Our plans, including those of the Wenwu officials, all got thwarted, and he, through this move, became the true master of the Northern land. Although this vast Hanhai Northern Border is desolate and lacks populace, there are no longer many who can counterbalance him. A blank canvas is great for painting; a newly-endowed spirited land, sufficient to attract countless newcomers wanting to settle.]

[We all believed he was destined to be trapped here, but he turned out to be so formidable, truly worthy of being the Town Prince chosen by the Imperial Court!]

And in the central Imperial Court, the young Emperor Xuantian also squinted his eyes, shifting his gaze from the Geomancy Map to the north.

"Originally, it all depended on Uncle Wang’s words, merely mentioned in passing, I didn’t take it seriously, nor did I expect Uncle Wang could do much..."

The Emperor of the Imperial Court mused to himself: "But now it seems, it turned out to be a prophecy fulfilled—my Uncle Wang really does have destiny, virtue, and means of a true Town Prince, perhaps... in some aspects, I really could rely on him."

"As for An Jing, holding the Heavenly Sword Fragment, he truly is the deserving ’Soldier Master’. I thought the Jiuli Commanding General signified a great revival of the Jiuli native land, but I never thought he would eliminate the Frost Calamity for Da Chen. Although it benefits Dust Li too, the most advantageous is obviously us Da Chen... Indeed, is he a loyal subject?"

Subdue Evil.

As the master of Da Chen, although young, Emperor Xuantian knew plenty of ancient secrets. Among the many generations, many swords, many different Sword Masters of the ’Sword of Demon Suppression’, only a few could be called ’Heavenly Sword’, and clearly, the one An Jing held was a fragment of a Heavenly Sword.

Observing his actions and words, it was almost certain that this Jiuli Commanding General, An Jing, was without a doubt the ’Heavenly Sword Master’ of this generation.

Jiuli Commanding General, Heavenly Sword Master, couldn’t be more suitable.

Thinking this, he nodded slightly, his eyes glinting, and made up his mind: "This is indeed an opportunity of spending a lot for a grand return..."

As for the thoughts of various Sects, Heaven’s Will Cult, and True Demon Sect, they are indeed plentiful.

[Originally it was thought that the death of King Jing was a sign of the declining destiny of Great Chen, but who would have imagined there still are figures like Divine Mandate An and Virtuous King with such deep roots... Perhaps it is not the time]

[An Jing, this first Divine Mandate bearer, is indeed as renowned as said, truly born to confront calamities, ending the Frost Calamity in one fell swoop. Yet, the peach has been plucked by the Virtuous King, Great Chen truly still has its destiny intact.]

Everyone’s thoughts are simple, nothing but a sudden realization, lamenting that the Virtuous King is old and scheming, An Jing is destined by heaven.

And the Virtuous King has much more to consider.

"What a good place."

At this moment, as the Demon Disaster in the south is once again repelled, finally finding the time and energy, Virtuous King hurriedly returns to the Northern Border and suddenly brightens up upon arrival, "Heavenly Dao’s feedback, rejuvenating the Northern Border, I am indeed lucky!"

To say Virtuous King’s thinking is simple is impossible; he also indeed has considerable plans, quickly recognizing that An Jing is a person meant to confront calamities, and notice many extraordinary traits on An Jing. But now, all these traits can be explained by ’Heavenly Sword Fragment’, and the Virtuous King does not intend to delve deeper or understand the truth.

Regardless, as An Jing has direct connections with him, having directly spoken and promised authority as the ’local ruler’, who continually provides him with talent, Virtuous King definitely does not entertain any thoughts of treating An Jing unfairly.

Thus, after lingering in the vicinity for a while, Virtuous King directly descends beside An Jing, located at Broken Blade Peak—now perhaps it should be called Sky Sword Peak.

This is also the first time An Jing had a face-to-face conversation with Virtuous King.

This is a man with a fair appearance, stature that can be considered tall and strong, but devoid of any oppressive feel. He doesn’t have much beard, visibly lacking the habit of growing one, and like all those of Emperor Court Emperor Blood, possesses Mysterious Pupil Golden Eyes, but his golden eyes aren’t as piercing as the sun, rather a gentle amber gold.

Virtuous King is not a brutal Town King, nor a mild and weak Let Heaven Decide follower. Perhaps others misunderstand him, overestimate him, and absurdly credit him with many achievements, but Virtuous King is definitely not someone who cannot bear these ’overestimates’. He might indeed not be able to handle the Frost Calamity all by himself, but without his firm assistance and support, An Jing would not be able to face many overt and covert pressures from everywhere.

He is like a massive tree, perhaps unable to shelter from storms like mountains, but merely blocking some malicious gazes is immensely qualified, and in this world, who says a giant tree cannot grow to surpass mountains?

And Virtuous King is also observing the young man before him.

An Jing, currently dressed in ordinary attire from the Tianyuan Realm, doesn’t look like a Martial Artist, but his long hair splayed like fire fluttering in the wind and a robust figure with a perfect Martial Arts posture lets one know, he is a true Martial Artist.

And within the young Martial Artist’s eyes, flickering red amidst black, pulses an indomitable will and firm determination.

Anyone who sees these eyes would know, if he intends to do something, no matter what it is, be it revenge or battle, exploring some secret or standing at the pinnacle of Martial Arts, as long as he identifies it as his target, then he will spare no effort to fulfill it.

Like a torrential downpour, like a surging tsunami, like an approaching storm, like the rotation of heaven and earth.

Like...

Heaven’s Will.

Unstoppable, inviolable.

— Is this the Jiuli Commanding General who holds the Heavenly Sword?

The two only need one glance to obviate any need for further interaction.

"Your Highness Virtuous King," An Jing said, "Are you here representing the Imperial Court, or representing yourself?"

"I’m here for myself," replied Virtuous King with a smile. "How about you, An Jing, are you the True Transmission of the Bright Mirror Sect, or are you the City Lord of Dachen?"

"I’m here for myself," An Jing also smiled. "So, is it just us?"

"Just an old man and a young man."

"So, old man, what do you want the young man to do?"

"No, you’ve got it wrong. I don’t need you to do anything, I’m just here to personally witness a young hero, an exceptional Martial Artist."

"Thank you for the compliment. Then, are you here to make friends?"

"Friendship isn’t something I can declare unilaterally, not to mention, you have done so much, while I have reciprocated nothing."

Virtuous King said, "An Jing, I’m here to just make one announcement."

He stepped forward, grabbing An Jing’s hand, a vast golden wind surged from the ground, transforming into a magnificent Heavenly Ladder, lifting both Virtuous King and An Jing into mid-air, drawing the attention of all people and forces surrounding the Broken Blade Mountain Range.

At this moment, with the royal seal in hand, Virtuous King solemnly decreed to heaven and earth, "With heaven and earth as witnesses, fulfilling Heaven’s Will: Great Chen’s Hanhai Path, Dingzhou’s Broken Blade Mountain, Linjiang City’s Lord An Jing guards the rivers, expels demons, defends the Dao, eliminates disasters, repeatedly earning military merits, aligning with Heaven’s Will, protecting the populace, executing extraordinary deeds, achieving beyond worldly accomplishments."

"Therefore, by the name of Virtuous King Xuan Guang Ge of the Great Chen Imperial Court Northern, hereby decree across the Ten Directions and Waters, Heavenly Sea and Earth Veins, renaming Broken Blade Mountain to Heavenly Sword Mountain, Linjiang City to Subdue Evil City, specially appoint An Jing as Mountain Master of Heavenly Sword Mountain, governing the surrounding mountains, three cities, Seventeen Towns, establishing his own laws, a hereditary position without replacement!"
