Proofreader: Papatonks

Sword Heart walked towards the towering cliff, smiling at the setting sun and the cautious Sword Child.

Sword Heart spoke to himself, Hell soon get his wish and this world will be at peace.

Sword Child just stared.

Whats your name? Sword Heart asked.

Sword Child.

Did your master name you?

No, hes my father. Sword Childs eyes were hard.

Sword Heart shook his head, Just like humanity, to treat his sword as a son.

How does your master see you?

Isnt it obvious? His heart. Sword Heart sighed, Sword points where your heart is. I am his sword, moving at his hearts intent. We are one, he and I.

Does he see you as a brother then?

Not a brother, for they arent of one mind, while we are. Sword Heart smiled, What he wants to do, I want as well. Not like your masters fancy speech, calling you son. Isnt parenthood a form of slavery? You have to obey and you have to listen. Being humane is so fake, so shortsighted.

Humph, and?

Sword Child mocked, Your master made you like him, but in the end youre just a copy. Youre both working to improve, at best, while nothing more than a replica at worst. My father treats us like sons, but he never forces us to follow him. The same with the Luo Clan Head, the same with Qilin. I am but a sword. So who is the master and who is the servant?

Sword Heart looked at the sky, Heavenly Dao has no emotions, in eternal solitude, unmarred by human complexions. Thats why the ten ancient Sovereigns were in the end one heaven and nine people. The nine shared their paths, while the Heavenly Dao is only one. The same goes for us. Its not that he made a copy of himself, its that Heavenly Dao resembles itself. Im his sword and he shows me where Heavenly Dao is so we can create a pure world.

Whats that got to do with my dad? He never bothered you.

Of course its related. Hes crucial. Be it for Heavenly Dao, or humanity, the worlds direction rests on him. Everything is in the hands of one man

Sword Heart smiled, If all goes well, tonight we get to see the worlds direction, ha-ha-ha

Sword Child shuddered, unease creeping in.

Whoosh~

Two figures bowed before Sword Heart, Sir, its done!

They were two of the eight freaks.

Sword Heart waved them away, and said to Sword Child, Do you know what they are? Once the strongest in the mortal domain, men that sought the pinnacle. But the more they do, the more frustrated they feel when they reach a wall they cannot cross. Having never failed before, they become restless. It was then that I stepped in and promised to fulfill their wishes, so they bowed their heads. And once someone does, he can never raise it again. This is the debased humanity.

Theyre all cultivators from the mortal domain that learned from the sacred weapons?

Yes, the tougher the environment, the stronger the people. After the ancient period, Sacred Domain no longer had anyone impressive. Only the mortal domain would bring about someone adequate every million years or so.

Sword Heart nodded, then he showed utter disdain, And the result? Theyre stuck as half Sovereigns, their immense pride turned into cowardice from crushing doubt in their abilities as they begin seeking other ways and ultimately sealing their hope to ever reach Sovereignty. contemporary romance

Thats why they can never be Sovereigns. If the Sovereign is alive for that path, the seat is taken Sword Sovereign shouted.

Sword Heart shook his head, Wrong. The Ten Paths to Heaven hints at being only ten, but that doesnt mean they cant change. It may be hard, but if one found an alternative, another road, they too could become Sovereign in the sword. Sword Child, there was once Patriarch Blood Demon who lived a long time ago. He had the bravery to do it, coming the closest to realizing it. Later on, people heard of his attempt and always believed the ten paths are ever taken, losing their courage. Will you brave it, little one?

Sword Childs eyes grew with thirst for battle.

Ha-ha-ha, you may never get the chance, if your master fails.

Sword Heart laughed and patted the little head, Come, lets see your masters last act, and maybe for the last time

Sword Heart left and Sword Child followed.

The two arrived at Heavenly Sovereigns courtyard, to find him in his chair and looking at the chessboard with intense gaze.

Chu Qingcheng paced around, looking at the portal with worry now and then.

Sword Heart and Sword Child landed.

Sword Heart bowed, Its ready.

Marvelous.

Heavenly Sovereign gave Sword Child a look, while Chu Qingcheng gasped, What are you doing here? Its too dangerous?

Wheres father? Sword Child asked.

Chu Qingcheng looked at the portal and sighed, He went to find Emotion Sovereign. It feels like the two Sovereigns are mortal enemies. As Zhuo Fan represents Heavenly Sovereign, maybe

Chu Qingcheng shook her head. Sword Child looked worried as well.

Hum~

Zhuo Fan casually stepped out of the portal and the two welcomed him with smiles.

Heavenly Sovereign gave him a look and mocked, Just like I said, The woman gave it to you.

I have it, so what do you want from me now? Zhuo Fan sighed.

Heavenly Sovereign shrugged, popping another portal open, leading to the Sacred Mountains, where their disciples and the six Mountain Lords were. freewebno(v)el

Only they were all unconscious.

Zhuo Fan gave Heavenly Sovereign a quizzical look.

Heavenly Sovereign spoke, As Nine Serenities inheritor, you trained in the Demon Transformation Art to the early Saint Stage. Youre a ways away from reaching the peak. As for your heart and mind, the many Sovereign inheritances you have proved its broadness. To reach the Sovereign Stage, all that is needed is buildup.

What?

Zhuo Fan gapped, You want me to suck them dry?

Of course, why else would I stop slaughtering? As Sacred Mountains disciples practice the most upright methods and have a solid foundation. Using them will lead to best results.

Just whats your game, making me a Sovereign?

Think of it as me helping you out.

Heavenly Sovereign snickered, Not just me, but other Sovereigns wish for it as well. Thered be no point dumping so many paths on you to increase your own otherwise.

But your goals differ!

Why do you care? Did you forget your place, pawn? You have no power here. Heavenly Sovereign mocked as he glanced at Chu Qingcheng and Sword Child, Id have drowned you in materials by now, if not for haste makes waste. You think I wanted to wait for so long? Are you doing it or not?

Zhuo Fans face shook and looked around with a sigh. He made a sign and black energy leaked out of him. In a blink, a sea of black drowning the crowd.

They didnt even twitch as they disintegrated. The black energy returned to Zhuo Fan and filled him with endless strength.

Heavenly Sovereign smirked, Youre holding back, afraid that Demon Transformation Art will eat you alive like your disciple and everyone? Dont worry, the backlash happens only with a weak body, unable to handle all those energies, and with a weak mind that succumbs to the victims regrets. Youve passed them with flying colors. No, cultivate already!

[Screw you!]

Zhuo Fan shook, unleashing a violent wave of black energy that turned all the people to dust in a blink.

Chu Qingcheng shirked back in fear, with Heavenly Sovereign nodding, Lets take this brief moment to compound Heavenly Dao like old times, brother, the argument before the great war

Heavenly Sovereigns eyes shone
