Chapter 987: The Young Marquis Is an Earth Immortal (1)
Editor: Henyee Translations

Sword intent triggered the astronomical phenomenon. Only those at the seventh realm like the Earth Immortal could do it. Moreover, they had to be experts at the seventh realm and their sword intent had reached the Large Success realm.

The eldest son of the third branch looked at Shen Ping blankly. Looking at the heir of the marquis who had long been judged to have no talent, his mind completely went blank and he could not think straight.

The most monstrous genius in the entire Yuhua Shen Dynasty had only stepped into the seventh realm and become an Earth Immortal after 30 years old, while his cousin was only 17 years old this year!

A seventeen-year-old Earth Immortal?!

What was even more terrifying was the sword technique just now. It was clearly the Snowflake Sword Technique, and that sword intent had completely grasped the essence. It even surpassed the master. If he went to ask the Sword Tower, he could easily become a sword seed and be nurtured by the Sword Whisper Tower with all their might.

When he came back to his senses, the figure that left an indestructible impression in his heart had already disappeared. The surrounding astronomical phenomenon also slowly dissipated.

Several air-piercing sounds rang out and landed within the library’s courtyard.

“Who triggered the astronomical phenomenon with the sword intent?!”

“Is there a hidden seventh-realm expert in the House of Zhenbei?!”

“Other than that Madame Yu, the strongest person in the entire mansion is only in the sixth realm. Now, another seventh realm has been born?”

These voices were extremely shocked. Then, their gazes landed on the eldest son of the third branch. There were experts guarding the library. However, through their senses, the other party was only at the sixth realm and had never cultivated sword techniques. Moreover, the sword intent just now was clearly the Snowflake Sword Intent. It was a unique sword technique of the Sword Whisper Tower.

It was impossible for ordinary people to cultivate it. So only the direct descendants were left.

“Young fella, did you just trigger the astronomical phenomenon?” an old man walked up to the eldest son of the third branch and said amiably.

The other Sixth Realm cultivators also looked over. They knew that the person in front of them was from the third branch. He was not even thirty years old. If it was really him, it would indeed be impressive. Although they could sense that he had not stepped into the Fourth Realm, they really could not find anyone else.

“I heard that this young master has been cultivating the Snowflake Sword Technique and has even received guidance from Madam Yu. I think he must have used his sword intent just now. That kind of sword intent is already close to the Dao. I didn’t expect such a peerless genius to appear in the House of Zhenbei!”

“This kind of talent is not inferior to the seeds of the five great forces at all. It can even reach the top three of the Cosmos Gang!”

“The top three of the Qian Ranking are all extraordinary. It’s still a little difficult to enter the top three, but he’s still young. He’ll definitely have a place in the top three in the future!”

Listen to the compliments, the eldest son of the third branch wanted to say that it was him, but he knew that this kind of thing could not be faked. “No, it’s not me. It’s, it’s my cousin, the Young Marquis!”

…

In the backyard where Shen Ping was, Yue Zhu and Deputy General Chen also looked in the direction of the library in shock. That shocking snowflake sword intent made them feel that even the wife of the seventh realm could not do this.

“Who is it?”

“Could it be that person from the third branch? If that’s the case, I’m afraid that the Young Marquis’s status will be lost!”

The two of them were worried. Although with Madame Yu backing him up and the influence of the Sword Whisper Tower, the emperor would not agree to depose and revoke the title of Young Marquis, if a genius of the seventh realm was born, things would be different.

“Young Marquis.”

Seeing Shen Ping walk over, the two of them greeted him.

“What is it?”

“No, nothing. By the way, did the Young Marquis go to the library just now?”

“Yeah.”

“Who else is in the library besides you?”

“The straight arrow from the third house.” With that, Shen Ping stretched. “Alright, I’m going to sleep.”

Yue Zhu and Deputy General Chen’s hearts sank. It was really the third branch.

“Madame must be informed.”

“I’m afraid her ladyship won’t take any notice of such things, alas.”

The two of them did not know what to do.

The marquis’s title was very important. The young marquis was still young. Once he passed the age of 20, he could gradually accept the connections and other resources left behind by the marquis, especially the personal guards of the north and the four demon suppression legions.

Although the King of Dongchang had been in charge of the Northern Region for the past few years, the four legions were personally nurtured by the marquis. They listened to the emperor’s orders and were temporarily under the King of Dongchang. Once a new Marquis of Zhenbei grew up, they would listen to him again and become the Young Marquis’ right-hand man.

Of course, the prerequisite was that the young marquis’ strength had to increase. He had to at least reach the fifth realm. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to convince the masses.

The news of the Marquis of Zhenbei’s shocking sword intent and the activation of the astronomical phenomenon spread throughout the world at an extremely fast speed. For a time, the dynasty was shocked. The five major factions even sent envoys to the House of Zhenbei.

Back then, when the Marquis of Zhenbei died, many people lamented the death of a military god, and the heavens were jealous of geniuses. However, now that a seventh realm expert had appeared in the House of Zhenbei, it immediately attracted the hearts of the world.

Emperor Yu looked in the direction of the Marquis of Zhenbei’s Residence in the north, “Who could it be? Sword Son Yu has been running around the world all these years. I’m afraid her sword intent has declined. Interesting. Could it be that another peerless genius will appear in the House of Zhenbei?”

“The North…”

The Sword Master was also looking in the direction of the House of Zhenbei. “Although the Snowflake Sword Technique is not an ultimate technique that our Sword Whisper Tower doesn’t teach to outsiders, the essence of it can only be comprehended in the Sword Whisper Tower. Who is it that can use sword intent to trigger the astronomical phenomenon without coming to the Sword Whisper Tower? This talent must enter our Sword Whisper Tower!”
