Liusheng Yijian's words carried a three-part regret and a seven-part fervor.
Regret, because he had secluded himself for fifty years, thinking he finally had the chance to break Empress Xuan's seal, but unexpectedly, someone else got there first, rendering his fifty years of arduous cultivation nearly in vain.
Fervor because he had seen an individual more talented in the Sword Dao than Empress Xuan herself—a true swordsmanship prodigy.
While Empress Xuan's seal was indeed mysterious and powerful, it was, after all, just a seal, not the person herself. And Xiao Chen was not only capable of breaking Empress Xuan's seal, he was also very much alive and in front of him.
Was there a more suitable opponent than Xiao Chen to validate his own Sword Dao?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen's gaze met Liusheng Yijian's as he asked, "So the reason you've come to find me today is…"
"To validate the sword!" Liusheng Yijian stared at Xiao Chen, a fierce fire of extreme fervor burning in his eyes.
