The Unparalleled Sword Emperor

When Brother Lin and others sat down, warriors coming to celebrate the birthday began to continuously enter the Heaven and Earth Lotus. They each found a seat and sat down, waiting for the celebration to begin.

It wasn’t until noon that warriors almost filled the Heaven and Earth Lotus.

At this time, in the sky, a purple cloud flew in from the East and shot into the lotus.

All the warriors stood up one after another, looking at the sky.

Shangguan Cun laughed: "Purple Qi from the East, the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures has arrived!"

Shangguan Cun and Brother Lin, along with others, also stood up to greet him.

Brother Lin looked up and saw on the purple cloud an old man with white hair and beard, looking youthful with a crane-like gaze, a slight smile on his lips, hands clasped behind his back, walking slowly!

He seemed like an immortal, stepping down from the Nine Heavens, descending onto the lotus.

"Greetings, Senior!"

"Greetings, Senior!"

"Greetings to the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures!"

"Greetings, Sir!"

Within the lotus, countless warriors clasped their fists and shouted.

The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures walked into the lotus amid the warriors’ tide of greetings, stood in mid-air, and with a smile bowed to the warriors and said: "It’s merely my humble birthday, yet to have so many heroes from the Southern Continent come to celebrate, I’m truly unworthy!"

"Fire Lotus Mountain is small, if there is any lack of courtesy, please forgive us!"

The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures said with a smile.

"Hahaha, you’re too kind, Venerable Lord!"

"The Venerable Lord is joking, Fire Lotus Mountain is so beautiful, I don’t want to leave!"

"Is that the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures? The pinnacle strong one on the Barbaric Ancient Continent, also the number one artifact refiner on the continent!"

"That’s the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures, I’ve heard about him for so long, now I finally get to see him alive!"

The warriors inside the lotus became excited.

The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures clasped his fists and said: "This old man is now five hundred and twenty years old, heartfelt thanks to everyone for coming to celebrate my birthday. I’ve prepared some delicious dishes and wine for you, hope you all like!"

"Of course, we must thank the dozens of tribes around Fire Lotus Mountain, these treats were all prepared by them!"

"..."

The Venerable Lord stood in mid-air, smiling as he spoke.

While speaking, numerous servants came to each petal, waved their hands, and countless delicious dishes flew out, landing on each table.

For the birthday celebration of the Venerable Lord on Fire Lotus Mountain, the dozens of large tribes around had been preparing for half a year, selecting various delicious dishes from across the Southern Continent.

They truly are the best of the best.

Shangguan Cun looked at the delicious dishes flying onto the table and immediately said: "Where’s the wine, where’s the wine? What’s good about these dishes, where’s the Blaze Wine? Why isn’t it here?"

Brother Lin smiled: "Brother Shangguan, don’t worry, fine food is not to be rushed!"

Shangguan Cun helplessly said: "Brother Lin, you don’t know, after drinking just one cup of Blaze Wine, you’ll understand that feeling, its lingering taste!"

At this time.

After exchanging pleasantries, the Venerable Lord sat in the void, smiling down at the warriors.

At this moment, Yan Long from the Emperor Tribe stood up, smiled and clasped his fists saying: "Venerable Lord, I represent the Emperor Tribe in congratulating you on your birthday!"

"Our clan leader couldn’t come in person, please forgive us!"

"Our Emperor Tribe has prepared some gifts for you, already sent to your Fire Lotus Mountain, please accept them!"

The Venerable Lord laughed: "The Emperor Tribe is so courteous every year, well, this old man will not be shy!"

Yan Long responded with a light smile: "It’s as it should be!"

Su Wusi from the Sword Pavilion Clan also stood up simultaneously: "The Sword Pavilion Clan has prepared nine hundred and fifty types of Divine Iron totaling one hundred and fifty-eight thousand pounds, already sent to Fire Lotus Mountain!"

The Venerable Lord laughed: "Thank you, Sword Pavilion Clan!"

Li Hai from the Jiuli Tribe followed and said: "Jiuli Tribe has prepared..."

Feng Chun from the Wind and Snow Tribe: "Wind and Snow Tribe has prepared..."

Representatives from the seventy-two great tribes of the Southern Continent stood up one after another, presenting their tributes.

Even the smaller tribes offered some tributes, although none as precious as those from the seventy-two great tribes.

The Venerable Lord did not refuse, directly accepting them, which also gave the seventy-two great tribes and Southern tribes a bit of face.

Brother Lin smiled and said: "Brother Shangguan, aren’t you going to offer a tribute?"

Shangguan Cun was still wondering why the wine hadn’t come, hearing Brother Lin’s words, he immediately said: "I snuck out, the tribe elders didn’t come, what tribute am I to offer!"

"Besides, does the Venerable Lord really lack Divine Iron and treasures?"

"The gifts from the seventy-two great tribes of the Southern Continent, the Venerable Lord merely accepts them to give them some face!"

"Do you really think the Venerable Lord lacks that Divine Iron and treasures!"

"Not to mention, the Heaven and Earth Lotus itself is better than all the tributes given today by any tribe."

Shangguan Cun shook his head and said.

Brother Lin smiled silently.

Afterwards, Shangguan Cun looked at the Venerable Lord and mildly said: "But to speak truthfully, I do have some gifts to give, but not now, I’ll wait until after the birthday celebration!"

The gifts offered by tribes of the Southern Continent lasted for half a day, which finally completed the delivery of all the tributes.

And when the Southern tribes finished offering their tributes.

Immediately, other warriors flew up, coming before the Venerable Lord to present gifts.

"Li Jiuge, Lan Yuxin from the East Continent Academy, representing the Academy to present a tribute, wishing the Venerable Lord an eternal reign!" At this time, a man and woman came before the Venerable Lord, clasped their fists and said.

Hearing this, Brother Lin looked up and saw the two.

Surprisingly, it was Li Jiuge and Lan Yuxin.

The Venerable Lord laughed: "I thank you, for my humble birthday, you crossed the distance all the way from the East Continent!"

Li Jiuge and Lan Yuxin smiled lightly, exchanged a few pleasantries, then withdrew.

"Even the East Continent Academy has come." Brother Lin said absentmindedly.

Shangguan Cun said: "The East Continent Academy sends people every year, but this year it seems the Quasi-Saint from the Academy has come, looks great, wonder if they’ll participate in the martial arts competition later!"

Li Jiuge and Lan Yuxin had just stepped down.

Meanwhile, other warriors also rose: "Dugu Yitian and Dugu Hao from the Sword God Family on the Northern Continent represent the family to present a tribute, wishing the Venerable Lord immortal blessing forever!"

The Venerable Lord smiled lightly: "Haha, this old man has refined countless artifacts in his life, but I love refining swords most, so perhaps there’s fate with your Sword God Family. Your tribute, this old man will accept!"

Brother Lin then looked up again and saw the two — Dugu Yitian and Dugu Hao whom Brother Lin had met at the Sword God Family!

Shangguan Cun said: "The East Continent Academy and Sword God Family have given their tributes, next up should be the Central Holy Nation..."

When Shangguan Cun said this, Brother Lin became tense.

"Central Holy Nation..." Brother Lin’s eyes flickered.

At that moment, an old man and a young man rose into the air.

The young man, around twenty years old, had brows like swords and eyes like stars, looking extraordinary.

While the middle-aged man wore a black robe, his face cold.

"Seventeenth Prince Zhao Yushan of the Central Holy Nation..."

"Mo Wenshen of the Central Holy Nation..."

"Congratulations to the Venerable Lord on your birthday..."

The two came before the Venerable Lord, smiling and clasping their fists.
