The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 622: Chapter 572: Xuanyuan Sword!

As expected, Wu Shijiu took the initiative to bring up the Witch Deity Teaching, he certainly had his own agenda.

He did not care about their strange color and actively said: “You must have known the origins of Witch Deity Teaching by now. At the very beginning, Witch Deity Teaching was a lineage of human tribe’s sacrificial rituals. They were worshipped by the Ancient Clan Tribe as sacrificial ministers, and presided over ceremonies communicating with the spirits of Heaven and Earth. Even when there were many rulers in the human tribe, the lineage of Witch Deity Teaching held an extraordinary status, receiving the courtesy and respect of the rulers…”

Wu Shijiu talked about the origin and history of the Witch Deity Teaching. The Witch Deity Teaching was constituted by those ritualistic shamans from the tribal era of the human race. At that time, human society had not developed a complete civilization, and they were still in a barbaric era. Every tribe had shamans who communicated with the Ghost God of Heaven and Earth, seeking direction for the clans and tribes.

Later, as numerous rulers of the human tribe emerged, the status of these ritualistic shamans got elevated again. They were worshipped as ceremonial officers who controlled the rites, and they were trusted confidants of the rulers, who held many secrets and key aspects of the human tribe.

The great affairs of a country lay in rituals and military matters.

And the ritual mentioned in this statement refers to the sacrifice, that is, the people who mastered the way of communicating with the Ghost God of Heaven and Earth.

“Later, Confucianism emerged, replacing the shamans and rituals, which led them to gradually leave the stage. But this Witch Deity Teaching is not completely useless, at least I, Wu, know that there is something in the Witch Deity Teaching that could be useful to you.” Here, Wu Shijiu finally revealed his true purpose.

Pei Xuanjing and Zhu Houji looked at each other and smiled, knowing what each other meant.

Wu Shijiu did not disguise his own thoughts, he looked at the two and said: “In the hands of Witch Deity Teaching, there is something passed down from the ancient rulers. If it can be obtained, it would be highly beneficial to the Great Ming Divine Dynasty.”

“Oh? What exactly is it?” Pei Xuanjing asked with a faint smile on his face.

Zhu Houji on the side was also very calm, seeming to have seen through Wu Shijiu’s provocation without being deceived.

However, in the next moment, when he heard the name of the particular thing Wu Shijiu was referring to, his face immediately changed.

“Human Path Treasures, Xuanyuan Divine Sword!” Wu Shijiu uttered a few solemn words.

These few words alone promptly made the originally indifferent Pei Xuanjing and Zhu Houji change their face, their expressions immediately turned grave.

“Is this true?” Zhu Houji blurted out, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

The Xuanyuan Divine Sword, one of the top divine weapons in legends, was said to be the divine weapon used by Xuanyuan, the ruler of the human tribe in ancient times. Legend has it that the divine weapon was made by the Xuanyuan Clan from the bronze collected by many tribes. One side of the sword body was engraved with sun, moon, stars, and celestial bodies, and the other side with mountains, rivers, grass, and trees. One side of the sword hilt was inscribed with the art of farming and animal husbandry, and the other side with the strategy of uniting the four seas. It contains boundless power and is the divine sword for slaying demons and removing evil spirits.

But beyond its unparalleled power, more importantly, it symbolizes great significance. It can be said that in ancient times, it was one of the treasures that the human tribe took pride in, worshipped by countless members of the human tribe, and was a symbol of the ruler of the human tribe.

However, since this divine sword fell into the hands of King Yu of the Da Xia Divine Dynasty, it disappeared completely and was difficult to trace. Now hearing the news about this sword, even the usually calm and composed Zhu Houji was somewhat emotional for a moment.

After all, for the human tribe, if they could obtain this divine sword, it would be of great significance. His Great Ming Divine Dynasty would undoubtedly become the righteous spear of the human tribes in the world, and no one would be able to doubt it.

“Could it be that the Xuanyuan sword is in the hands of the Witch Deity Teaching?” Pei Xuanjing couldn’t help but say.

He was also well known for his reputation as a divine weapon. When he learned about some ancient secrets, he knew that this sword had disappeared.

Originally, he thought that what Wu Shijiu claimed that Witch Deity Teaching possessed was not meaningful or important to him.

But if it’s this thing, then for the current Great Ming Divine Dynasty, it might be something that can quickly enhance strength.

In the Sky Wasteland world, Pei Xuanjing, as the Human Emperor, had also refined the Human Emperor’s Gold Seal and the Nine Cauldrons, these extraordinary treasures. He knew that if such a thing could be controlled, it would surely bring great power.

“But even if it’s true, it’s probably not easy to get it, right?” Pei Xuanjing also quickly reacted.

The Witch Deity Teaching has been handed down for thousands of years. The news of their possession of the Xuanyuan Divine Sword is so secretive that many divine dynasties have not discovered it and can still retain it to this day. This shows how important the Xuanyuan Divine Sword is to the Witch Deity Teaching. Therefore, obtaining it is as difficult as reaching the sky.

“Yes, it is extremely difficult to obtain the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, which is strictly guarded by the Witch Deity Teaching,” Wu Shijiu did not deny.

Such a precious thing would naturally be strictly protected. If he had not been part of the high echelons of the Witch Deity Teaching, he might not have even had the right to know about it.

He looked at the two and said, “My point is not to plan for this thing now, but to warn both of you. The Witch Deity Teaching has kept the Xuanyuan Divine Sword hidden for so many years, which shows its sinister intentions, and we need to be cautious.”

Despite its status as a Human Path Treasure, the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, although within the power of the human tribal force of the Witch Deity Teaching and can be activated with respect to the former human tribal status, the power it can unleash is not significant.

In fact, given the resources of the Witch Deity Teaching, then after its many years of inheritance, the top divine weapons it has obtained are likely as many as the numerical digits, and the power it can exert may not be weaker than the Xuanyuan Divine Sword.

After all, such divine weapons like the Xuanyuan Divine Sword should have been wielded by the ruler of the human tribe or the lord of the divine dynasty in order to unleash their greatest power. For the Witch Deity Teaching, it is completely strenuous and thankless, and it’s seen as a mundane object.

But even so, the Witch Deity Teaching has still spent a huge price to preserve it, showing how important it is to them.

The scheming of the other side may well be a threat to the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, and this is the point that Wu Shijiu wants to make clear.

“Xuanyuan Divine Sword, what a pity!” Zhu Houji sighed, with a look of regret in his eyes.

As a monarch, how could he remain indifferent after hearing about the Xuanyuan Divine Sword? That’s why he had that expression just now.

But he is not a fool, but in a moment, he understood that the Xuanyuan Divine Sword is simply inaccessible for him at present.

The Witch Deity Teaching is a top-tier force in the Sky Wasteland, a force with the most powerful presence in Nine Realms of Spirit. The Xuanyuan Divine Sword is controlled by them unless they are willing otherwise, it’s simply impossible for him to get it based on his current situation.

“How did the Witch Deity Teaching get the Xuanyuan Divine Sword in the first place?” Pei Xuanjing asked with a glint of curiosity in his eyes.
