Chapter 24 The Empress’s Shock, The Ruins Of The Heavenly Thunder Emperor’s Mansion

On top of the firmament pavilion, Sword Ancestor Lin, who was reading a book, sensed something. He raised his hand, and a beam of golden light gently landed on his hand.

He narrowed his eyes and received the information. After he took it in, he laughed heartily, “Hahaha! I’ve already said that Su Ze’s innate sword body will never allow itself to be submerged for long. This competition can only be considered the first step for Su Ze to set off. Su Ze, that brat, will only become stronger and stronger until he surpasses Drunk Sword Immortal himself! Hahaha”

Elder Lin had a satisfied smile on his face as he took out an interspatial ring. “Su Ze has done so well. I’ll to think of a proper reward!”

“Got it, this is it!” Elder Lin smiled as he took out a long sword from his interspatial ring. “My old friend!”

He looked at the green sword in his hand with nostalgia. This was the Emperor-level Qianling Sword. It was also the weapon that had accompanied him all the way here.

There were some small cracks on the sword. These were the scars from his battle.

“It’s about time I found you a good partner.” He caressed the sword and said with emotion.

Inside Guanghan Palace, the empress learned out that Su Ze had won first place.

She was sitting on the throne with a complicated look in her eyes. She had originally opposed Su Ze’s learning of the sword, but now that Su Ze had won first place, she had nothing more to say.

“Truly unexpected! Su Ze actually crushed the years of bitter cultivation of the disciples of other sects in a week.” The empress, Mu Wanqing, thought to herself.

“Well, since he has an innate sword body, it would be bad for him if I let him focus all his attention on alchemy. I might as well follow Sword Ancestor Lin.”

The empress laughed to herself. To be honest, she had thought that Su Ze was only going to gain a hard knock from the real world and realize where he stood among the genius disciples of other sects.

However, she had never expected that Su Ze would give her such a big surprise. It was his first time going out to participate in the grand competition and he had actually obtained first place!

Even though the empress was experienced and knowledgeable, it was also her first time experiencing such a situation. She simply couldn’t wrap her mind around it!

“Since he already has the strength, then he can also participate in the trip to the Heavenly Thunder Emperor’s mansion world. The empress thought for a moment and made a decision in her heart.

Lin Ye brought Su Ze all the way back to the Pillheart Sect.

Once they entered the sect, all the disciples looked at Su Ze as if they had seen a ghost. At the same time, they exclaimed in surprise.

“Su Ze actually won the championship! This is too unbelievable!”

“He’s a monster! He’s a monster! He has only cultivated for a week! Yet, he directly cut his way through and won the championship!”

“That’s too terrifying. Su Ze’s one week of cultivation surpassed my five years of hard work! There’s really no comparison!”

Ever since the news of Su Ze winning first place spread back to the sect, these disciples’ views of Su Ze had also undergone a drastic change.

They originally thought that Su Ze was only going to get beaten up this time. After realizing his own shortcomings, he would return to the empress and focus on studying alchemy. However, Su Ze ended up slapping everyone’s faces. He had not gone there to take a beating. Instead, he gave everyone else a beating.

The most unbelievable thing was that Su Ze actually took first place.

This was a record that set a precedent! Moreover, this record reached a height that no one could surpass.

This was also the reason why the disciples were so shocked.

Not long after Su Ze returned to the sect, Sword Ancestor Lin received the news and immediately rushed over.

“Su Ze, you brat, you’ve truly surprised to me,” Sword Ancestor Lin said with a smile as soon as he landed.

“Haha, it’s all thanks to your teachings,” Su Ze cupped his hands and replied politely.

“Don’t be modest. I heard from Lin Ye that you still had a hidden move!” Sword Ancestor Lin patted Su Ze’s shoulder and his hearty laughter resounded throughout the square.

“This is for you! You deserve this sword.” He smiled and threw the Qianling sword to Su Ze.

The moment Su Ze received it, he immediately knew that this sword was different. His innate sword body actually faintly resonated with it.

“This is…”

Su Ze asked with a puzzled face.

“My old friend, the Qianling Sword, is an Emperor-level weapon. From now on, let it continue to shine with you! Haha!” Sword Ancestor Lin said with a smile.

“Thank you, ancestor.” Su Ze smiled and bowed slightly.

“Alright, work hard. I hope my old friend can see a brighter life.”

Sword Ancestor Lin patted Su Ze’s shoulder and left on his sword.

Su Ze looked at the quivering Qianling sword in his hand and suddenly felt that it was seeing its old master off.

“Su Ze, come to Guanghan Palace to meet me!” The empress’s voice echoed.

After hearing this, Su Ze put away the Qianling Sword and rushed to Guanghan Palace.

In Guanghan Palace, Su Ze sat on the throne while the empress reclined on the throne in the middle and looked down at Su Ze.

“You surprised me this time,” the empress said slowly with a hint of surprise mixed in her tone.

“It’s just the first place,” Su Ze replied with a smile and cupped his hands. “Alright, I’ll admit that you have the strength now. Do you know about the mansion world of the Heavenly Thunder Emperor?” The Empress asked lazily.

“I know a little about it. Elder Lin mentioned it to me before.”

“I originally didn’t want you to participate in it. After all, it was too dangerous! However, since it’s still a mansion world, treasures will coexist with the danger!” The empress said slowly. She patiently explained about the mansion world of the Heavenly Thunder Emperor to Su Ze.

“Moreover, this mansion world is still intact. This is the first time it has ever been opened. Do you understand?” The empress propped her chin on her hand and narrowed her eyes as she looked at Su Ze.

“I understand. However, since there is a fortuitous encounter, why don’t I give it a try?” Su Ze stood up and said seriously, “It is impossible for an expert to appear in a gentle village. The true experts would spread their wings and soar in the countless storms!”

“Good! I really admire your determination!” The empress stood up and clapped. She looked at Su Ze with a gentle gaze. “Then I’ll explain the origin of this mansion world to you so that you can avoid some risks!”

“Okay.” Su Ze nodded.

“This mansion world was created by the Heavenly Thunder Emperor. If you want to know its history, you can go back to 2,000 years ago…”

The empress spoke openly and carefully as she explained the information of this mansion world to Su Ze.
