The birth of the Celestial Punishment Sword absorbed Ye Qingzhou's Sword Intent and devoured the remnant soul of Xing Tian, making it essentially the "child" of both Ye Qingzhou and Xing Tian.

Although there is always a sense of unease about it, ultimately, a new unparalleled Divine Weapon has emerged, which is a good thing.

And by naming it "Celestial Punishment," enacting punishment on behalf of the heavens, it demonstrates Ye Qingzhou's aspirations for the future of the Celestial Punishment Sword.

Just as Ye Qingzhou was about to leave, a "ding" suddenly echoed in his mind.

He thought that after so long, he had finally activated a system, but unexpectedly, a deep and mellow male voice sounded: "I am Xing Tian. After ten thousand years, have you obtained the inheritance of the Emperor Venerable?"

"Xing Tian? Again?"

Ye Qingzhou was speechless. The so-called Xing Tian now had been forged into a Sword Spirit.

"Do not worry, this is merely the last trace of my Divine Thought left in the world, it can at most answer some of your questions, nothing more."

The words of this Xing Tian were truthful, not like the previous charlatan who made grandiose claims.

Therefore, Ye Qingzhou's attitude eased considerably, but he still remained cautious, intentionally asking a question: "Is the Flame Emperor dead?"

"The Emperor Venerable has already passed away."

"Can he be resurrected?"

"Yes."

Xing Tian's words immediately made Ye Qingzhou's spirit exceedingly alert.

How did the White Flood Dragon Fengqi get possessed by Kang Jinlong back then?

Ye Qingzhou vividly remembers this and it remains fresh in his memory.

Getting the inheritance of the Flame Emperor would be great, but if it requires risking one's life, that's unnecessary.

Xing Tian seemed to have guessed Ye Qingzhou's thoughts, giving a slight sneer: "A strong person who has entered the Divine Realm can reincarnate countless times if they wish. The Emperor Venerable, being one of the Five Emperors, naturally can as well. However, the spiritual charm required for an Emperor to live another life is immense. Each time, it requires triggering a great calamity on living beings, slaughtering until nine out of ten houses in the world are empty, to gather enough..."

"Thus, the Emperor Venerable is not unable to return, but unwilling."

When Xing Tian spoke this, he was exceedingly proud.

Because the one he followed was an unparalleled strong person worthy of his loyalty unto death: "The Emperor Venerable once said, the path of the Human Race is a path of civilization that passes on the flame, so since the Emperor Venerable has left, he will not forcibly return as an eternal tyrant. Leaving the inheritance is merely in the hope that those with fate can inherit the legacy of the Shennong Clan."

The choice of the Flame Emperor earned Ye Qingzhou's solemn respect.

This was an Emperor Monarch of the Ancient Human Race with both pride and responsibility, who would not incite a great calamity on living beings for a selfish desire, to live another life.

"One last question, who is our enemy?"

Ye Qingzhou's expression was solemn; he increasingly felt that the so-called Grotto Heaven Secret Realm seemed very much like a series of sanctuaries.

And for it to bring about the fall of the Sword Emperor, for a mythical being as powerful as Kang Jinlong to be confined within the Grotto Heaven, not daring to take a single step outside, shows how terrifying the adversary is.

"The enemy comes from beyond the heavens. Right now, you are far too weak. When you reach the Heaven-Ascending Ninth Layer, you will naturally know the enemy's origins. Then, whether to die standing or live kneeling will be your choice."

"Oh, and two more things."

"The Flame Sun Treasure Seal is engraved on the Flame Emperor Sword, and the Shennong's Materia Medica is stored in the Red Whip; both of these items have been taken. Find a way to retrieve them, and then you can absorb the Six Ding Divine Flame from the Shennong Cauldron."

Finally, Xing Tian left Ye Qingzhou with two sentences, and his Divine Thought completely dispersed.

"Hey, hey?"

Ye Qingzhou called out a few more times, confirmed the disappearance of Xing Tian's Divine Thought, and only then gave up.

Meanwhile, he also fell into thought: "The enemies of Blue Star come from beyond the heavens? So does the source of Primordial Qi also come from beyond the heavens? Where have all the Ancient Emperors of the Human Race gone to now? Could it be that they are all as noble and virtuous as the Flame Emperor, preferring death rather than plundering the spiritual charm of all beings for resources to live another life?"

At this moment, Ye Qingzhou had too many questions in his heart.

However, the current priority is still to become stronger.

So Ye Qingzhou could not be bothered to think too much. For now, what significance is there in knowing who the enemy is, when he can't even fly out of Earth, hasn't even reached the first cosmic speed?

"The Flame Emperor Sword and the Red Whip, these two treasures should be with Qin Haoyu. It's a pity, if I had known earlier, I would have seized them first and then eliminated him."

Ye Qingzhou got up, returned the way he came, and soon encountered Xu Yuebing.

She seemed to have picked up some treasure, in an excellent mood, her fair face blushing, her eyes sparkling: "Ye Qingzhou, look what I found?"

She took out a piece of specially textured parchment, proudly showing off to Ye Qingzhou: "Hehe, I found a High-Tier Casting Technique called 'Thousand Hammers and Hundred Refinements,' which can forge Upper Grade Exotic Treasures into famous sharp weapons."

With this, the Linjiang Xu Clan might break Mingjian Group's monopoly in the future, becoming the second Martial Arts Family in Xiang Province capable of crafting rare famous swords.

"Oh."

Ye Qingzhou responded quite indifferently.

Seeing this, Xu Yuebing was a bit unhappy: "You're actually very envious, right?"

"Why would I be envious?"

"This is a High-Tier Casting Technique."

"High-Tier? How high?"

Ye Qingzhou was unconcerned: "Why would I go around boasting if I had a Celestial Human Casting Technique personally passed down by the Flame Emperor?"

"Hmph, Celestial Human Casting Technique? I've never even heard of it!"

Xu Yuebing, in a huff, thinking Ye Qingzhou was bragging again, didn't take it seriously.
