Xia Feng looked at the situation before him; this was a sect's forbidden area.
Why had the Xuanyuan Sword ended up in someone else's sect?
However, this didn't stop Xia Feng from retrieving the sword.
To Xia Feng, the Xuanyuan Sword within was his property.
Xia Feng landed with Bing Linger, and with a flick of his finger, the sect's protective barrier shattered.
The moment the barrier broke, several figures shot into the air from within the sect. They looked at Xia Feng and Bing Linger and shouted angrily, "Who dares trespass into our Sword Sect? We are an affiliated sect of the Can Ye Sect. Do you intend to challenge the authority of the Can Ye Sect?"
An elder in the early stage of Immortal Venerable, accompanied by three to five Immortal Emperors, sternly warned Xia Feng.
Xia Feng found it somewhat amusing upon hearing this. He truly had a strange connection with the Can Ye Sect.
"Move aside. Even if the Can Ye Immortal Emperor himself were here, he wouldn't dare speak to me like that. I've come to retrieve my own belongings," Xia Feng waved his hand at them.
"When did our Sword Sect ever have anything of yours?" the elder questioned, then continued to roar, "How dare you disrespect the Can Ye Immortal Emperor? State your name!"
"Xia Feng."
Xia Feng uttered the two words softly. With a casual wave, the elder and the others were sent crashing down into the ravine.
After they landed, they were quite curious why Xia Feng had shown them mercy. Perhaps it was because he was hesitant to go too far due to the Can Ye Sect.
"You immediately go and inform the Can Ye Sect that our sect has been attacked," the Immortal Venerable elder instructed a middle-aged man.
"Sect Master, but it takes eight days by the fastest flying beast to reach the Can Ye Sect," the man said with a grimace.
"Just go. Ten-plus days for the round trip. Do you think this person can break through our forbidden area in the back mountain within ten days?" the elder said, his eyes flashing with anger.
"Yes, I'll leave immediately." The man dared not speak further and quickly sped away, then mounted a flying beast and rapidly departed the sect.
As soon as the man left, the elder noticed that the forbidden area in their back mountain had been destroyed. A large bell appeared before the elder.
"Eastern Emperor Bell, tell the Xuanyuan Sword to come out," Xia Feng said, summoning the Eastern Emperor Bell.
"Master, I will try to communicate with it," the Eastern Emperor Bell replied, then its entire body vibrated with faint bell waves.
In the next moment, the forbidden area in the back mountain suddenly flashed with a brilliant white light. The entire mountain was cut in half, and a golden sword burst forth from the mountain, emitting a faint glow.
"Old friend, I've lost count of how many years it's been since I last saw you." This was the communication between the Xuanyuan Sword and the Eastern Emperor Bell.
"Yes, it's been too many years, so many that I can't remember. Have all the previous injuries you sustained fully healed?" the Eastern Emperor Bell asked.
"Coming to the Immortal Realm healed me. If you hadn't come to call me, I would have continued to slumber," the Xuanyuan Sword said softly.
"This is my master. Recognize him as your lord," the Eastern Emperor Bell instructed directly.
"You've pledged allegiance? " The Xuanyuan Sword's voice carried a hint of doubt and confusion.
"There's no need for further talk, lest my master personally take action and erase your mark," the Eastern Emperor Bell warned.
"Hmph... are you trying to intimidate me on our first meeting?" the Xuanyuan Sword sounded annoyed, bouncing in the air.
"Master, this fellow is arrogant. Please erase his mark. I will reforge the mark for Master, and it won't significantly affect the sword itself," the Eastern Emperor Bell, tired of wasting words with the Xuanyuan Sword, directly requested Xia Feng to act.
Xia Feng nodded, his intent locking onto the Xuanyuan Sword. Before Xia Feng could make a move, the Eastern Emperor Bell also helped to control the Xuanyuan Sword's core spirit.
"Eastern Emperor Bell, I recognize your master. I recognize your master."
Seeing Xia Feng and the Eastern Emperor Bell acting against it simultaneously, the Xuanyuan Sword was terrified and dared not delay.
After all, it was merely an ultimate weapon. Without being in someone's hands, it couldn't exert much of its strength. For Xia Feng to erase its mark would be a simple matter.
"Master, it has recognized you as its lord," the Eastern Emperor Bell transmitted to Xia Feng.
Xia Feng said nothing, merely pointed a finger, and immediately underwent the blood recognition with the Xuanyuan Sword.
After recognizing Xia Feng as its master, the Xuanyuan Sword's attitude completely changed, and it respectfully hailed, "Greetings, Master."
"Xuanyuan Sword, you will follow me from now on. Together, we shall break through this Heavenly Dao," Xia Feng said, holding the Xuanyuan Sword, a faint excitement on his face.
Xia Feng now possessed two of the Ten Great Ancient Artifacts, one for offense and one for defense, making him incredibly formidable.
As for the Kunlun Mirror, which the Eastern Emperor Bell had mentioned last time, he would retrieve it for Xia Lin when he had the chance.
"Big Brother Xia, is this sword very powerful?" Bing Linger asked, looking at Xia Feng.
"Yes, though I haven't tested it yet, I can tell from the feeling it gives me that it possesses immense explosive power," Xia Feng said, holding the Xuanyuan Sword.
"Congratulations, Big Brother Xia." Bing Linger finished speaking and then pounced forward, hugging Xia Feng and giggling. She even prepared to lick Xia Feng's cheek with her tongue.
Xia Feng quickly dodged, saying, "Didn't I tell you that now that you have a human body, you must maintain your image?"
"What is image?" Bing Linger asked, not understanding.
In any case, she just wanted to hug Xia Feng. She loved being in his embrace, and when she was excited, she wanted to lick him.
"Eastern Emperor Bell, can you summon people individually?" Xia Feng asked.
"Master, yes, we can," the Eastern Emperor Bell confirmed.
A thought struck Xia Feng, and he directly released Xia Lin. Afterward, feeling that Xia Lin alone would be difficult to educate, he thought of Qin Wen, who was more mannerly, and then released Qin Wen.
"Brother, is this the Immortal Realm?" Xia Lin asked after coming out, looking at the unfamiliar world before her with great interest.
The sky here seemed bluer and vaster.
"Wow... is this the Immortal Realm? Is this the Immortal Realm?" Qin Wen exclaimed in surprise upon emerging.
The air here was pure and refreshing, without tall buildings or the hustle and bustle of cities, only half a mountain.
"This is the Immortal Realm," Xia Feng nodded affirmatively.
"Why is it different from the television I watched as a child? Are there no celestial palaces here?" Xia Lin asked curiously.
As soon as Xia Lin finished speaking, Bing Linger pounced into Xia Lin's embrace, exclaiming, "Sister Lin'er."
What in the world?
Xia Lin, somewhat alarmed, pushed Bing Linger away.
"Brother, who is she?" Xia Lin quickly asked. Qin Wen also observed Bing Linger with curious eyes.
"She's Doudou," Xia Feng said with a smile.
"Doudou?" Xia Lin and Qin Wen exclaimed in unison.
Good heavens.
"Yes, she's transformed into a human form. I named her Bing Linger," Xia Lin nodded.
"Doudou, is that you?" Xia Lin asked, her voice filled with surprise.
She truly hadn't expected that little dog to transform into a little fairy one day.
"Sister Lin'er, it's me!" Bing Linger nodded, blinking her big eyes.
"Doudou... no, I should call you Bing Linger. You're so beautiful."
Xia Lin looked at Bing Linger, who was close by, and praised her while stroking her hair.
