He didn't go after Bing Wu. Although, if he wanted to, he could catch up to Bing Wu in an instant and stop her.

Even if he confirmed a romantic relationship with Bing Wu now, she still couldn't overcome the obstacle in her heart.

Let her strive on her own, let her work hard by herself.

He believed that someday Bing Wu would indeed appear before him again; he had that premonition.

"I don't want to say unnecessary words. Just this one thing: Bing Wu, in the future, will be my woman. I don't like her being in any danger or experiencing any grievance. Otherwise, when I return to the Bingzhen Clan, I will obliterate the entire Qiyuan Family."

Su Chen glanced indifferently at Bing Nan and the head of the Qiyuan Family kneeling on the ground, then disappeared as well.

Leaving the Bingzhen Clan.

Su Chen directly returned to War Ancient Sky.

"It's time to prepare for ascension." Su Chen murmured to himself. Unfortunately, no forces or strong individuals from Great Luo Heaven had sought him out yet: "I'll take it one step at a time. First, I need to visit the War God Palace."

War God Palace is a place he must visit.

Especially after obtaining the Xumang Sword.

War God Palace once had someone who reached the Nine Stages of Sword Rhyme, the legendary Sword Emperor.

For this reason alone, it's worth a visit for Su Chen.

Sword Emperor Palace.

Sword Emperor Palace consists of three major peaks.

First is Sword Dragon Peak.

Second is Sword Phoenix Peak.

Third is Sword Emperor Peak.

Among the three, Sword Emperor Peak is the most revered.

It is said that Sword Emperor Peak was the personal peak of the ruler who founded Sword Emperor Palace — the one with Nine Stages of Sword Rhyme.

Later, after the ruler left War Ancient Sky, Sword Emperor Peak became the sacred ground of Sword Emperor Palace.

On Sword Emperor Peak, there are the Sword Emperor Hall, Sword Emperor Pavilion, and Sword Emperor Stone.

Among these, Sword Emperor Hall is used for hosting distinguished guests and grand ceremonies, events so grand that it's not used even once in a hundred or even thousand years, because Sword Emperor Hall is exceedingly prestigious. Only true grand ceremonies and true distinguished guests qualify to use it. Given Sword Emperor Palace's status in War Ancient Sky, very few qualify as distinguished guests in their eyes, so its usage is rare.

As for the Sword Emperor Pavilion, it's where Sword Emperor Palace stores its Sect-Defending Martial Skills. It is a forbidden area and only accessible to the current sect leader.

The Sword Emperor Stone, however, is the Supreme Treasure of Sword Emperor Palace!!! Legend has it that the Sword Emperor Stone was left behind by the ruler of the Nine Stages of Sword Rhyme and contains the Sword Rhyme. Among each generation of disciples, at most, only nine have the qualification to comprehend the Sword Emperor Stone.

Besides Sword Emperor Peak, Sword Dragon Peak and Sword Phoenix Peak are where Sword Emperor Palace's disciples cultivate and live.

The Phoenix is for females, the Dragon for males.

On Sword Dragon Peak, there are only male disciples.

On Sword Phoenix Peak, there are only female disciples.

At this moment.

On Sword Phoenix Peak. One splendid attic after another. Numerous vast martial training fields.

The scorching sun hung in the sky, yet flocks of female disciples moved to and fro, each wielding a sword. Since they joined Sword Emperor Palace, naturally, regardless of gender, both male and female disciples used swords.

These bustling female disciples appeared to be very excited.

Many of their faces were flushed with excitement.

"Have you heard? Su Chen is coming."

"Tomorrow, the Sword Emperor Hall will open to welcome Young Master Su."

"Is it... the Young Master Su who, at less than twenty-seven, can instantly kill an envoy of Great Luo Heaven?"

"The number one person in War Ancient Sky, Young Master Su?"

"Oh my gosh! Is he really coming to our Sword Emperor Palace? Heard the news some time ago and have been waiting ever since."

"I really want to see what he looks like."

"Reportedly, he's very handsome, only twenty-seven years old, just think about how young he is!"

"I heard that Sword Emperor Palace plans to welcome Young Master Su with the highest standards this time."

"The Sword Emperor Hall!!! It seems it hasn't been opened for over thirteen hundred years. Not just anyone is qualified to have the Sword Emperor Hall opened for their welcome."

"Do we have a chance to see it?"

.........

These female disciples were chattering noisily with each other.

"The spots are decided."

"Tomorrow, aside from the sect leader, elders, and stewards who have the privilege to welcome Young Master Su, among other disciples in Sword Emperor Palace, Sword Dragon Peak has allocated a hundred and sixty slots. Sword Phoenix Peak has allocated seventy slots."

"Too few slots. Our Sword Phoenix Peak has a total of 130,000 disciples."

"If I could go to the Sword Emperor Hall tomorrow and catch a glimpse of Young Master Su, I could die without regrets."

"Let's not think about it. I heard all seventy slots for Sword Phoenix Peak have been handed over to the Saintess for distribution."

.........

Among these female disciples.

There was one girl who remained silent all along. Her looks were top-notch, but her strength didn't surpass others around her by much.

"Young Master Su, could it be him?" the girl murmured to herself, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of anticipation and curiosity.

If Su Chen were here, he would surely be surprised and say: Chen Yan, how did you end up in Sword Emperor Palace?

This girl was indeed Chen Yan.

Back when Su Chen first arrived in War Ancient Sky, he met Chen the Fatty, Chen Rang, and then also met Chen Yan.

Chen Yan is the most talented prodigy of the second-tier Top Power, Lingya Sect.

Originally, Su Chen planned to send Heyue Nishang and Shuilan to Lingya Sect, but due to Su Heng of Azure Underworld Sect courting death, a series of subsequent events occurred.

Speaking of which, Su Chen still owed Chen Yan a favor.

Just three months ago, Chen Yan passed the assessment of Sword Emperor Palace. Within the Lingya Sect, she had already become invincible!!!

Lingya Sect restricted her development.

To further advance, she could only join a larger sect.

Therefore, with the support of her master and everyone in Lingya Sect, Chen Yan came to Sword Emperor Palace alone and, fortunately, passed the assessment and became a disciple of Sword Emperor Palace.

In the past three months, she worked hard, her strength improving rapidly. Compared to the other disciples who joined Sword Emperor Palace at the same time, she was among the best. However, she hadn't extended her lead by much, because those who could join Sword Emperor Palace were almost all geniuses among geniuses.

Recently, she kept hearing the name Su Chen. She had a gut feeling that this Su Chen was the Su Chen she knew. After all, the age matched, and he could challenge surpassing levels, among other things.

But without seeing with her own eyes, she wasn't a hundred percent sure, as it seemed too fantastical. Everything felt like it was only yesterday, yet in just one or two years, Su Chen had already grown to the level of being invincible in War Ancient Sky and capable of killing an envoy of Great Luo Heaven?

She truly couldn't believe it.

Of course, it's precisely for this reason that she was very curious.

She wanted to see him in person — tomorrow would be a good opportunity.

Unfortunately, among 130,000 female disciples, there were only seventy slots; getting a spot wasn't easy.

"Chen Yan, what are you thinking?" As Chen Yan's thoughts scattered, a round-faced girl with a ponytail next to her asked. She was Chen Yan's friend. After joining Sword Emperor Palace, over these past three months, aside from training and more training, Chen Yan also made some friends.

"Chen Yan, you're definitely thinking about how to get a spot, right? Hehe... You want to see Young Master Su in person too?" The ponytail girl was a bit excited. Chen Yan had always been very composed, seemingly only interested in cultivation and nothing else. Unexpectedly, she had discovered one thing in common with Chen Yan, which was the desire to see Young Master Su in person.

"The slots are unattainable," Chen Yan didn't deny it but was a bit bitter. Has the gap widened to this extent? To see him, she needed to compete for a spot, and the chance of succeeding was slim.

"I definitely can't get one, but Chen Yan, you might. Among our new batch, you're ranked in the top fifty. Also, the Saintess highly appreciates you." The ponytail girl excitedly said: "Those seventy slots are arranged by the Saintess. You definitely have a chance."
