Chapter 61: Sword Dao Genius (11)
Ten days later.
Su Chen buried the mother of this life. The passing of kin, the departure of old friends. For him, these had long become the ordinary rhythm of lifetime after lifetime. It was difficult to stir the same heartache he had felt in his first three lives. Petals fall, flowing water drifts east—how many grand ambitions dissolve into idle conversation?
Even so, Su Chen rebuilt Imperial Sword Manor from the ashes. He reformed the Sword Guards. To avoid squandering the advantages he had gained in this life and to accumulate even more Reverse Fate Points, he needed to leave a deeper mark on this world.
In less than ten years, news of Imperial Sword Manor's resurgence spread across the surrounding hundred kingdoms. The three royal families that had betrayed the manor were exterminated in bloodbaths. From then on, no royal bloodlines remained; all territories were placed under direct administration by Imperial Sword Manor envoys.
But Su Chen did not stop there. After seizing the three kingdoms, he turned to relentless militarism. He launched large-scale invasions against neighboring dynasties, harvesting their resources to cultivate more Sword Guards.
Heavenly Sword Sacred Land.
Su Chen once again met Cao Tianming. A hundred years had passed without contact, and the Sword Son's strength had grown far more terrifying than Su Chen had imagined.
When Cao Tianming learned that Su Chen had successfully broken through to Void Refining, his regard for him deepened.
"Sixty years without a word from you—even Imperial Sword Manor declined to nothing. I truly thought you had died. Shen Chen, you really know how to deliver a surprise."
