Eternal Reverence

"Apologies, not interested."

Li Fuchen immediately rejected the Crimson Snow Saint Lordess' invitation.

He didn't wish to have any relationship with the 19th Battalion and he didn't need them either.

"Will the Primary Extreme Sword Saint Lord please give some consideration. You might not know about the Crimson Snow Saint Lordess' status. Lordess Crimson Snow's father is one of the upper echelons of the Undying Legion. His status is even higher than the Blood Ax Imperial Lord."

The Crimson Snow Saint Lordess sent a female subordinate to invite Li Fuchen. She wasn't just a saint lordess, she was also absolutely beautiful and had an extraordinary aura.

"I already said that I am not interested. Please return." Li Fuchen waved his hand.

"You…"

Sophia was rather angry. If Lordess Crimson Snow had not given special instructions to be polite, she would be berating Li Fuchen.

"Does he think he can ignore anyone just because he is a swordsman of the Swordsmen Guild? Even the 19th Battalion Commander, the Blood Ax Imperial Lord is very respectful to Lordess Crimson Snow." Sophia thought to herself.

"Primary Extreme Sword Saint Lord, I hope you can reconsider. Lordess Crimson Snow's invitation is something others would beg for." Sophia took a deep breath and persuaded.

"I shall not see you out." Li Fuchen gave the eviction notice.

After standing still for a moment, Sophia finally stomped her feet and left.

…

"Lordess Crimson Snow, this Primary Extreme Sword Saint Lord is disrespecting you. Shall we call for a few of the captains to threaten him?" The captains mentioned by Sophia were the heaven lords.

The 19th Battalion had over 100 heaven lords while the entire Divine Leaf City only had a small number. As for the Swordsmen Guild, there were only two heaven lords.

"Doing so would make it meaningless." The Crimson Snow Saint Lordess shook her head.

Her objective was to be acquainted with Li Fuchen, if she ordered for heaven lords to threaten him, it would be impossible to be acquainted.

After thinking for a moment, the Crimson Snow Saint Lordess said, "No need to hurry. Let's put this matter aside for now. There will be opportunities in the future."

…

"I have already comprehended all ten pieces of sword bones and I have gained plenty of inspiration. I can try to push the Primary Extreme Sword Technique to the top rate apex state."

To anyone else, a top rate apex cultivation technique was rarer than any supreme rate martial arts.

Among the heaven lords that cultivated martial daos in the universe, 999 out of 1000 didn't comprehend top rate apex cultivation techniques. This was also why the sword bones were so precious. After all, there were too little sword dao heaven lords that possessed top rate apex cultivation techniques.

But to Li Fuchen, the situation was completely opposite.

It was actually easier to break through in the Primary Extreme Sword Technique than to break through in the Splendid Sword Art and Primary Extreme Sword Art.

This was mainly due to the fact that the Splendid Sword Art and the Primary Extreme Sword Art were overly flawless in foundation. The former had connected with 900 streaks of source power, while the latter had connected with 1080 streaks of source power.

On this day, Li Fuchen entered his seclusion.

…

A star domain teleportation array was one of the supreme rate arrays and it was of a rather high grade.

After spending two years, countless manpower, and wealth from the 19th Battalion, they finally created a star domain teleportation array.

This star domain teleportation array's greatest teleportation distance could reach over 100 million light years. It was far enough to cover across multiple star domains.

Buzz!

A few days after the star domain teleportation array was constructed, someone teleported over.

As the radiance scattered, figures of four individuals appeared.

"Not bad, not bad. Our Undying Legion has yet another universe city." The man with long hair and had a third eye on his forehead was speaking.

"This city should be the famous Divine Leaf City right?" A cold and pale woman looked around with curiosity.

"Come, let's look for the Crimson Snow Saint Lordess."

They were here to look for the Crimson Snow Saint Lordess.

…

Icy Snow Manor.

"You are here!" The Crimson Snow Saint Lordess looked at the quartet.

"Crimson Snow Saint Lordess, don't you feel anxious? The inheritance ceremony will happen in less than five years. We are hoping you will become the 9th Child of Undying." The cold woman said.

The Children of Undying held the most prestigious status in the Undying Legion, apart from the Undying Lord King.

As of now, there were 8 Children of Undying in the Undying Legion, the Guards Battalion Commander, 1st Battalion Commander, 2nd Battalion Commander…

In order to become a Child of Undying, there were three conditions. Firstly, one must be a candidate to become a Child of Undying. Secondly, defeat all the other candidates. Thirdly, to complete the inheritance ceremony and if it was a failure, it meant that the candidate wasn't qualified to become a Child of Undying.

Becoming a Child of Undying would be the same as to take a step into heaven. It was impossible for heaven lords to be candidates as all the candidates were saint lords. But once a candidate became a Child of Undying, their strength would rise rapidly to become a star domain-level heaven lord and would gradually possess the undying power, making them stronger. It wouldn't be difficult to surpass veteran star domain-level heaven lords.

Right now, the difficulty for the Crimson Snow Saint Lordess was how to defeat the other candidates.

"There is no use in hurrying. With my current strength, it is nearly impossible to defeat the other candidates." The Crimson Snow Saint Lordess replied.

"Indeed." The three-eyed man nodded. "The Sky Prop Saint Lord is the strongest right now. All of the people around him are competent individuals. Second would be the Venal Wolf Demon Liege, his strength isn't much inferior to the Sky Prop Saint Lord. Only his subordinates are inferior…"

The contest for inheritance wasn't just individual strength, it would also be dependent on group strength. All of the candidates were strong but as compared to the Sky Prop Saint Lord and the Venal Wolf Demon Liege, the rest were lacking quite a bit.

"It would be good if we have a formidable expert. The Red Lotus Saint Lord's strength is originally mediocre and far inferior to us. Just because he recruited a formidable expert, he is now able to contest with the Sky Prop Saint Lord and Venal Wolf Demon Liege." A tanned man lamented.

"How can formidable experts be so easy to recruit? Saint lords that can contest with heaven lords are basically from elite factions. It is too difficult to recruit them." A 3-meter tall man with a golden horn shook his head.

The Crimson Snow Saint Lordess said, "Actually, the Divine Leaf City has a formidable expert."

"What level?" The quartet looked over.

If it was just a regular expert, it would be useless. The formidable expert must be able to contest with the Venal Wolf Demon Liege.

The Crimson Snow Saint Lordess said, "I don't know his exact strength either. I only know that the combined strength of the 19th Battalion's no.2 and no.3 saint lords couldn't even resist one move from him."

"It seems like he has some strength. But just to be safe, we need to test his true strength." The quartet's eyes lit up.

To be able to defeat the 19th Battalion's no.2 and no.3 saint lords together would mean absolute strength.

"Crimson Snow Saint Lordess. Give us his information, we will test him for you." The three-eyed man said.

The Crimson Snow Saint Lordess nodded, "He is from the Swordsmen Guild, all of you better know your limits."

"From the Swordsmen Guild? These swordsmen are all innately prideful and it isn't easy to recruit them. We need to think of superior recruitment conditions to attract him."

"We can offer him a piece of undying gemstone."

"Undying gemstone? This is a priceless treasure. One can only obtain a few undying gemstones after becoming a Child of Undying."

"Don't be reluctant and give up the prize. Without the help of formidable experts, the Crimson Snow Saint Lordess cannot even become a Child of Undying."

After thinking of the recruitment conditions, the quartet went to Li Fuchen's manor but he was in seclusion. The quartet didn't want to barge in and could only wait patiently.

One year… Two years…

The quartet and the Crimson Snow Saint Lordess were rather anxious from the wait.

The inheritance ceremony was getting closer and they didn't have much time left.
