Chapter 2617. Sword Given to the Luckiest Person
Sky Palace Leader nodded to the Tenth Elder. “If I’m correct, then it is what you’re thinking. I cannot believe it was in Sky Palace all along. It was right under my nose.”
“This… is it possible?” Yun Changkong’s voice trembled. He stared at Han Yan’s jade box.
The jade box gleamed in the light. There weren’t many adornments or engravings on it; it was a simple box, with no markings or patterns to identify it. Many Sky Palace elites wouldn’t have been able to tell what it was.
“Old Yun, you should explain what is inside that jade box,” the Sixth Elder couldn’t help but ask.
Yun Changkong looked at Sky Palace Leader, who nodded. Yun Changkong’s expression was difficult to read as he said, “You guys know about the Eleventh Leader, right?”
“Yes. The Eleventh Leader was a Sky Palace genius. Everyone knows about him. He was the strongest elite in Sky Palace that entered the geno hall.” Sixth Elder rolled his eyes, but then his eyes widened and his face lost its color. “Is this jade box related to the Eleventh Leader?”
Yun Changkong nodded and said, “You guys should remember the records that were created before the Eleventh Leader went into the geno hall. He left behind words.”
“The sword that will go to the luckiest person!” many elders shouted at the same moment. Everyone’s eyes opened wide. They stared at the jade box Han Yan was holding.
Yun Changkong nodded solemnly. “The Eleventh Leader’s sword skills were so fierce. He was like a god. He was a swordmaster from a family of swordsmen, and his talents brought him great strength. The Eleventh Leader’s sword skills were remarkable, even from a young age. He practiced with swords at the age of three years old. His swordmind reached the level of deified before he was twenty years old. He became the leader of Sky Palace before he was deified. When our race was in crisis, he destroyed traitors and battled enemies. Back then, even all the deified elders listened to him so they could make Sky Palace the best it could be. We have been stable for a billion years because of him. Referring to his lifetime as the Sky’s ‘Golden Age’ isn’t even enough to describe him. He was the one who left the inscription near Sky Pond that reads ‘Outer Sky.””
