Supreme Emperor of Swords

Ding Hao felt himself an ignoramus from Snow Province. Before this evening, he had never heard of “Miaoyu Bordello” before. Now it seemed that since one could find a goddess with such a physique here, “Miaoyu Bordello” was definitely no ordinary power, probably another major force in the Divine Central Continent.

No wonder so many young talents had turned up in Heaven Pavilion this evening. Now it made sense.

Otherwise, if it were just for a woman, even one peerlessly divine or the most beautiful woman in the world, it was still impossible that so many eccentric Martial Emperor geniuses would gather here.

While they were talking, the Golden Boat of the Nine Heavens Mystic Fairies suddenly levitated out of the water, soaring up into the air like a warship for immortals, slowly floating in the void above Chu River.

The hull of the golden boat shimmered with light, with inscription patterns faintly discernible. They released a strange buoyancy force, lifting the colossal vessel upwards. Pairs of paddles were swaying in the air, propelling the boat as if pushing water currents, carrying the airborne golden boat steadily in its midst.

The dome on top of Heaven Pavilion silently opened, as infinite starlight sprinkled down.

Sitting in Heaven Pavilion, he looked up and saw a vast starry sky. A crescent moon was hanging in the azure sky like a silver sickle. The scene was very beautiful, as if one were roaming in a boundless galaxy—a feast for the eyes especially seated on the airborne golden boat like this.

At this moment, someone finally appeared on the golden stage in the distance.

It was a beautiful woman in a black tight skirt, her cascading long hair like clouds, her skin as fair as snow, and her eyes and teeth gleaming bright. She had an excellent comportment. She was the first woman not wearing a sexy, alluring uniform tonight, her temperament ethereal like a fairy from the moon palace.

Although Ding Hao had seen his share of beautiful women, he could not help but sigh in admiration.

“Sister Fangfei, you’re really getting more and more beautiful.” Muying noticed Ding Hao’s gaze and said with a teasing smile, “With your strength and character, Young Master, if you’re interested, you only need to pay a small price to become Sister Fangfei’s bed guest when the festival’s over. She also has a blood-and-meridian body.”

On the other hand, Miaoyu next to Ding Hao was like a shy, timid little white rabbit, not daring to say a word, only gently and attentively preparing delicious food for him.

Ding Hao did not speak.

He looked back, and saw Golden Cicada sitting diagonally behind him, rolling up his cassock sleeves and grasping a huge roasted beast leg in his hands, gnawing hard. The monk looked up and smiled at Ding Hao.

The corners of Ding Hao’s mouth immediately twitched. He turned back at once, pretending not to know him.

After that woman called Fangfei appeared in Heaven Pavilion, the hall immediately became noisy.

Someone was shouting loudly, and the atmosphere was ablaze with excitement.

After that, many exceptionally pretty girls were brought up the stage one by one, awaiting comments and auctions.

These girls were from the other brothel boats and bordellos on Chu Riverbank. They were all exceptional beauties who looked piteously frail, making men feel sorry for them. However, when compared with women like Li Lan, Li Yiruo, and Xie Jieyu, they were still a little inferior. After looking at them for a while, Ding Hao felt bored, so he simply shut his eyes and ignored the procession, starting to cultivate his Qi gently.

Muying and Miaoyu were not surprised.

Although there were many men in the hall who were shouting and commenting loudly, there were also others who were shutting their eyes disdainfully.

Many peerless geniuses here thought highly of themselves and had high standards. They came from every corner of the Land of the Divine just for that “Xuanyuan Divine Body”, so why would they pay any attention to these common girls?

After a long time which he did not keep track of, Ding Hao was awakened by a thunderous commotion.

He saw the rest of the women were gone on the golden stage in the distance, leaving only that beautiful girl Fangfei.

By her side was the real protagonist of the evening.

Her slim figure was shrouded in silvery chaotic mists, only faintly discernible now and then, as if she were a translucent presence, standing quietly there.

Most of the young geniuses in Heaven Pavilion had already stood up and were crowding forward around the golden stage.

Ding Hao’s eyes fell on the translucent figure, and he was greatly startled as well.

The silver mists around the figure actually contained traces of Chaotic Aura. It was truly astounding. The Chaotic Aura was a supreme power that was comparable to the Power of Rules, yet it was actually lingering around this translucent figure. Was she a supreme War Goddess?

“That’s Miss Moonlight.” Muying’s eyes were filled with envy.

If she had such a constitution and talent, she would be able to control her own destiny now, wouldn’t she?

Ding Hao’s pupils shrank slightly, and he focused his eyesight to observe the woman carefully.

He quietly released his Divine Senses, and his sixth sense of Mind Essential also expanded without reservation, radiating silently toward the chaotic figure on that distant golden stage.

Ding Hao’s current Divine Senses cultivation was difficult even for an expert at the Martial Emperor Realm to detect.

Yet very soon, he found to his surprise that his Divine Senses could not get within one meter of that translucent figure, as if blocked by some mysterious force.

“She has the Chaotic Aura. Her ‘Xuanyuan Divine Body’ is a little strange.”

Ding Hao sighed quietly to himself.

“This girl is unusual.” The voice of the Saber Master resounded in his mind.

Ding Hao’s heart skipped a beat. “Senior, have you made out anything?”

“Although she has the Form of the Chaos, she doesn’t have the True Consciousness of the Chaos. But it’s amazing enough. In the future, her cultivation potential will be limitless. If some man were to cultivate together with her, he might receive the divine power latent in her body, so his progress will be very fast. However, the benefits she will receive are far more than the man’s… Why? Little Chap Ding, are you tempted?” The Saber Master teased.

Ding Hao shook his head.

He did not have any unrealistic fancies in his heart.

So many girls were in love with him and he had romantic relationships with a few of them. He did not want any more entanglements with girls.

“Very good. It’s great that you have such willpower. You’re already a Saintly Being of Saber and Sword, so you have a promising future ahead. So why would you need to rely on others? What’s more, this so-called dual cultivation of man and woman is ultimately an exchange of Yin and Yang between the sexes, which is heretical. What you want to cultivate is the path of the Divine Emperor, so you shouldn’t rely on these tricks,” the Sword Master also said.

The Saber Master continued, “Although this woman only has the Form of the Chaos and not the Consciousness of the Chaos, her provenance is not ordinary. I think the force behind her is also very powerful. You must be careful of her. She’s very likely one of your opponents who will later compete with you for the Opportunity of the Heaven and the Earth.”

Ding Hao nodded and said no more.

But at this moment, on the golden stage in the distance, that translucent figure shrouded in Chaotic Aura whispered something in Fangfei’s ear, then she turned around and left.

“Young valiants, the Moonlight Fairy has already seen all of you. Next, she will prepare a feast in the back hall, awaiting her destined one to appear. However, the back hall is small and can only accommodate five men. Please choose among yourselves the five most distinguished representatives to gather in the back hall.” That gorgeous beauty announced on the golden stage with a smile.

“Hey, what do you mean by that? We haven’t seen Miss Moonlight’s face, and she’s leaving?”

“We’ve come all the way here, yet the Moonlight Fairy is so rude. So many people, and only five allowed to see her face? Isn’t she a little too conceited?”

“Miaoyu Bordello is really getting more and more senseless. How dare they slight us!”

“Hehe, I think you people had better make Fairy Moonlight come back.”

For a brief moment, many in Heaven Pavilion were shouting and expressing their unhappiness.

Fangfei’s words might sound pleasant, but in fact, she was telling everyone that out of the entire company, only five would qualify to see the “the Moonlight Fairy” up close. The strength of the others was too low, and these men should really go elsewhere and not obstruct the others.

As for the so-called five candidates, she simply meant that everyone present should start fighting as quickly as possible. Only the most powerful practitioners would qualify.

Ding Hao suddenly felt that Miaoyu Bordello was coldly direct when it came to doing things. Their intention was very obvious.

He did not like their style of doing things.

The commotion in Heaven Pavilion grew louder.

Right at this moment—

“Humph, a group of shallow fellows, noisy like vulgar commoners. Do they even deserve to see the Moonlight Fairy’s face? All of you, scram!” Finally, someone could not bear to watch this anymore.

A swordsman in snowy-white robes stood up in fury. He slapped the table and pulled out a long sword from the scabbard at his waist. A cold Sword Qi gushed out like a flood. With a wave of his hand, a sword gale slashed in assault. More than a dozen men who had been yelling most loudly, were sent flying by the sword. They flew out of the windows by the sides of Heaven Pavilion and fell hundreds of meters down into the river.

The young talents who were qualified to sit in Heaven Pavilion were all at least at the Martial Emperor Realm, from prominent families and of noble status. Yet they were sent flying by this white-robed swordsman. Such strength and courage were really unparalleled.

What great sword technique!

Ding Hao’s eyes lit up.

The man’s skills in drawing out his sword and his sword moves were indeed very interesting.

That slash was so poetic and graceful that he was like the proverbial divine antelope hanging on its horns. His technique embodied the qualities of the Tao—most extraordinary.

Ding Hao had only glanced at the swordplay once through, and found it incomparably profound. He closed his eyes and let it replay in his mind, gradually capturing that trace of spiritual light.

He was the Saintly Being of Saber and Sword, most sensitive to saber techniques and sword moves. With one glance, he could distinguish its strengths and shortcomings.

Moreover, he had entered the Heaven Saber – Peerless Sword Tower on Sage Battlefield, and seen all the most fundamental saber and sword techniques of antiquity. Ding Hao’s insight and knowledge were far beyond those of his peers, and he could be regarded as a master. He could even deduce profound fundamentals from extremely advanced sword and saber techniques.

“Hahaha, bravo, the White-Robed King is indeed dauntless. The slashing art of your Swift Gale Sword Technique has reached new heights again.” Not far away, another young man had begun to laugh.

The man, dressed all in black, was a stark contrast with the swordsman in white.

He sat cross-legged in front of the short gold table, a black cloth bag on his knees. He gently untied the cloth bag and took out a black, three-section weapon that was one meter long. After putting the sections together, they turned into a long black spear. Snake motifs adorned its body, and the weapon looked most unique. There was actually a spearhead on both ends of the spear.

“Everyone below the Four-apertured Martial Emperor Realm, get out! You will lose face if you stay and suffer.” After combining the sections into an exceptionally effective weapon, the young man in black with a scrawny face said in an extremely imperious voice.
