In the Pilgrim Star Zone, the Sword Alliance’s headquarters had become extraordinarily busy.
Beautiful lights were lit on the streets of the entire planet. It had a very festive feel.
The Myriad Tribe Palace’s buildings had already been extravagant previously. After some renovations and adding a couple of Dao Weapon palaces, the buildings seemed even more luxurious now.
Apart from Kylie and the Bug Tribe, everyone under Lin Huang was present.
Bai, Grimace, Lancelot, Charcoal and the other imperial monsters were here. They shrunk their size and concealed their combat strength. They did not expose their lord-level auras at all.
After all, the number of the imperial monsters here was higher than all of the Lords added up in all of the organizations in the entire God Territory.
Lin Huang thought that it would be too high profile if they revealed their combat strength publicly.
After all, he had over 300 ninth-rank heavenly god-level Sword Servants under him.
The existence of his Sword Servant army was enough to prove the Sword Alliance’s strength.
“I’ll prepare a set of Sword Dao inheritances after we’re done with the celebration. You guys can take a look, though you’ll have to depend on yourselves to elevate to lord-level.”
Lin Huang and the rest had gone to their respective positions early in the morning.
Noticing that the guests had yet to arrive, Lin Huang had said those words to Sword 1 who was next to him through voice transmission.
“Thank you, Lord Swordmaster.” Sword 1 was secretly touched.
He watched Lin Huang grow almost throughout his journey in Sword Dao.
Lin Huang had consolidated Sword seals and achieved lord-level, yet Sword 1 had yet to consolidate even one Sword seal.
However, he knew that Lin Huang had exceeded him and the other Sword Servants in terms of Sword Dao. Moreover, the Sword Dao he cultivated included Great Heaven’s and many other Sword Servants’. Therefore, the Sword Dao inheritances he would prepare for them should be useful for most Sword Servants.
Sword 1 was excited to absorb enough from the inheritances in order for him to consolidate Sword seals and become a Lord.
“It’s best that you spare some time to focus your energy mainly on cultivation when you receive the inheritances. Let the rest handle other things. I think among the group, from you to Sword 12, the potential you guys possess is enough to elevate to lord-level. Not only that, you have the resources now. You’re only lacking the opportunity to break through.”
“Meanwhile, Sword 13 and the rest are rather lacking in innate attributes. However, it’s not completely hopeless for them to achieve a breakthrough. It’s just that they will have to depend on their luck…” Lin Huang chatted casually.
“Is it difficult to elevate to lord-level with rank-4 qualifications?” Sword 1 could not help but ask.
“The success rate is close to 50% if one is at rank-4.5. For rank-4, the success rate of achieving a breakthrough is less than 10%,” Lin Huang said bluntly, “Therefore, it’s rather difficult for Sword 38 and the rest to break through…”
Lin Huang knew about the qualifications of the Sword Servants under him from the beginning.
Sword 1 to Sword 12 were at rank-5.
Sword 13 to Sword 37 were at rank-4.5.
The rest from Sword 38 onward were at rank-4.
Sword 1 fell into a long period of silence before speaking again, “If they really fail to break through, they can stay in the great world and guard the Sword Alliance for you, Lord Swordmaster.”
He knew very well that it was impossible for Lin Huang to bring subordinates below lord-level to the universe.
The reason was that the difference in the abilities of Lords and non-Lords were as far apart as heaven and earth.
They would become a burden if they went along.
Therefore, the Sword Servants would definitely be separated into two teams.
One team would continue to follow Lin Huang, heading to the universe together.
The other team could only stay behind.
Sword1 did not really wish for those Sword Servants to be dismissed just like that. Therefore, he took the lead to fight for a position for them.
“I think so too. It’s true that we need people to stay and guard this place in the future.”
In reality, Lin Huang had another plan for those Sword Servants who failed to elevate to Lords. However, he was unsure whether it would work just yet, so he thought he would first agree to Sword 1’s idea. He knew very well what Sword 1 was trying to achieve.
The two of them chatted for a little bit, and soon it was time for the guests to enter.
Sword 1’s voice spread through the venue quickly.
“Death Sickle’s Blood Sickle members Buried Heaven, Gao Ming and Hu Xian’er are here for the celebration!”
“The Combat God Temple’s palace master Zhan Guang, vice palace master Zhan Tian and Peerless Overlord are here for the celebration!”
“Xeno’s federal president Link and vice president Beth are here for the celebration!”
“Divine Clapnet Heavenly Clapnet Lu Shu and Lu Yu are here for the celebration!”
“Precious Treasure Pavilion’s pavilion master Jin Dafu is here for the celebration!”
“God Capital’s God Emperor Shen Tu, God King Shen Jue and Shen Lu are here for the celebration!”
…
Everyone looked at the entrance when God Capital’s welcome address was announced.
They had always been arrogant, believing themselves to be the most powerful ones among the grade-7 organizations.
When Death Sickle was upgraded to grade-7 back then, they merely gave a symbolic gift and sent no one to the celebration.
However, when the Sword Alliance was upgraded to grade-7, even God Capital’s God Emperor, Shen Tu, had come. He even brought along two lord-level God Kings, Shen Jue and Shen Lu, with him.
Many of those present had knowing expressions on their faces.
They were from grade-7 organizations themselves, so they knew very well of God Capital’s style.
They clearly came with ill intentions.
Lin Huang had a light smile on his face, but Buried Heaven who was not far away had a slight change of expression.
He secretly spoke through voice transmission, “Watch out. These guys from God Capital might have come with ill intentions.”
The three Lords from God Capital glanced around.
They clearly paused for a moment when they saw the group of Sword Servants.
However, as they glanced around Lin Huang, Shen Tu revealed a smile.
“Chief Lin, we’ve finally met.”
“I’ve heard about you too, Lord God Emperor.” Lin Huang smiled lightly. No matter what their objective was, he had to abide by the formalities.
“Chief Lin, since you’ve heard of our Lord God Emperor, why did you arrange for our God Capital to enter after all of the other grade-7 organizations did?” It was Shen Jue who was trying to stir trouble.
He looked like a middle-aged man with a thick moustache above his lips. He had the charisma of a mature man, but his words were sharp.
Lin Huang said nothing, while Sword 1 who was standing on the side took over the topic.
“The celebration’s guest sequence for organizations of the same grade was decided by order of arrival. Those who arrived first would enter first. We explained this at the back of the invitation.”
“You’re not even a half-step Lord. What makes you think you have a right to talk to me?!” Naturally, Shen Jue would not listen to Sword 1’s explanation. He scoffed and tried to stir up trouble.
Odyl had been secretly fused into his soundwave as it charged at Sword 1 directly.
Shen Jue had a mocking smirk at the corner of his lips seeing that Lin Huang did nothing.
‘As expected, he’s just a fool who has just been elevated to lord-level. He didn’t even notice my secret attack.’
Just when that thought popped up, he suddenly sensed his sonic attack vanish quietly.
He was slightly stunned, but he had cold sweat dripping from his forehead the next moment.
A voice was transmitted to his ear instantly.
“Old man, you might die if you stir trouble up again…”
As the soft female voice sounded in his ears, Shen Jue could even clearly feel that the person had blown warm air into his ear.
He faintly sensed the warm air penetrate his eardrum and enter his brain.
The person secretly left behind some sort of technique in his head.
He scanned his head with Divine Telekinesis immediately, but found nothing at all…
