Chapter 83: Sword Immortal Mansion

Emerging from the deep palace, Su Yang, led by Eunuch Li, received his rewards.

He received 10 Great Xia Treasury Tokens, a million Great Xia merits, 100,000 taels of gold, and a mansion. Following Eunuch Li, Su Yang went to choose his mansion. Inside the palace, there were maps with mansion locations and layouts. Su Yang had no specific preferences for the mansion, so he chose one at random, confident that such a rewarded mansion wouldn’t be lacking. Even if it had been unoccupied, there were plenty of servants cleaning, preventing any dust from accumulating. The 100,000 taels of gold were provided as ten 10 ,000 tael gold notes.

He decided to keep the merits and treasury tokens for now, as he currently didn’t have any particular needs. When he desired something, he could retrieve it directly from the Great Xia Treasury. Once the heavenly path fragments were repaired, he could exchange them for spiritual objects, create spiritual grounds, and practice the Heavenly Earth Cultivation Technique, though not for himself. He intended to use them to nurture strong subordinates.

He contemplated a question: With the Heavenly Earth Cultivation Technique, if the world and heavenly path were strong enough, could everyone condense spiritual roots and begin their cultivation paths? Originally, he wanted to cultivate the immortal path to extend his lifespan. However, once his Sword Intent reached level 100, he could create techniques to achieve that without following the path of immortality. His Sword Intent could encompass myriad laws, even extending to his own lifespan.

Su Yang followed a few eunuchs out of the imperial palace, arriving at the mansion he had chosen.

“Lord Sword Immortal, this is the mansion you’ve chosen. You can take a look, and if you’re unsatisfied, you can change it,” Eunuch Li used his flattering voice.

It had to be said that this voice was truly impactful for Su Yang.

“No need to look, this place is fine,” Su Yang scanned it briefly and confirmed his choice.

After Su Yang’s decision, Eunuch Li instructed the attendants to hang a plaque above the main gate.

[Sword Immortal Mansion]

“Lord Sword Immortal, this was inscribed by His Majesty the Literary Saint,’ Eunuch Li introduced.

Those three words carried profound meaning. They contained sharpness, directness, and the power to overcome all things. They also held an ethereal, carefree, and joyful sentiment. This sentiment could be understood by those with Sword Dao talent. It was truly well-done. Despite being called the Literary Saint, His Majesty’s strength was only at the Celestial Transforming Realm. Literary power wasn’t as powerful as martial power in this world.

“Then I’ll thank the Literary Saint on His Majesty’s behalf,” Su Yang said.

After Su Yang confirmed his choice, Eunuch Li instructed his entourage to hang a plaque above the mansion’s entrance.

Eunuch Li gave the order, and those who came along started hanging out a plaque above the entrance.

Su Yang then communicated with the steward, Sun Ping. Everything was to proceed as usual, and if he needed anything, he would mention it. Otherwise, Sun Ping shouldn’t disturb him.

After a brief tour, this enormous mansion became his residence.

Later, Su Yang returned to the inn and brought Gu Xiu and Yi Tianba over.

After the morning court session ended, the major families of the capital became busy.

They were all collecting information about Su Yang.

With these prominent families fully engaged and accurate location information available, they quickly gathered details about Su Yang’s identity and his actions.

But upon collecting the information, they all felt one thing.

It was fake.

After repeatedly confirming with their subordinates, they realized that this was indeed the truth.

The major families, civil and military officials, looked at the confidential reports in their hands in disbelief.

“Nineteen years old, Celestial Transforming Realm sword cultivator…”

“This child must be carrying rare treasures.”

“Why isn’t His Majesty taking action?”

“Could it be that His Majesty is nurturing a new generation of Martial Saints?”

“Or has the rare treasure already been handed over to His Majesty?”

Many people were concerned about Su Yang’s situation. Various royal residences, top figures, elite clans – on this day, they all focused their attention on Su Yang.

Some people saw through things more clearly, but others were blinded by greed due to Su Yang’s remarkable progress. How could they not be suspicious, and how could they not feel envious? His rapid increase in strength inevitably led to doubt and intrigue.

They wanted to witness the world beyond the Celestial Transforming Realm!

Just as Su Yang settled in the Sword Immortal Mansion and welcomed Gu Xiu and Yi Tianba, invitations arrived at his door.

It wasn’t Eunuch Li who leaked the news; after all, these top-tier families were no fools. They had their own sources of information.action

Regarding this, Su Yang instructed Sun Ping to decline all the invitations. He wasn’t interested in dealing with these people. He’d rather spend time honing his sword skills.

Thus, in the span of a day, all those who came with invitations were turned away.

This left the major families in the capital feeling quite displeased.

Prince Jing’s Mansion

“Refusing to meet, claiming to be too busy?”

“Hmph! Great Xia’s Sword Immortal thinks highly of himself!”

Such reactions weren’t exclusive to Prince Jing’s Mansion.

In the capital, the Ye, Li, Zhang, and Wang families, along with other influential clans, all experienced the same curt dismissals. They weren’t treated with the usual political courtesy or excuses.

This was akin to a slap to their faces, which naturally left them uncomfortable.

At this point, Su Yang decided to return home.

His main tasks in the capital were done.

Moreover, he had received considerable rewards, enhancing his status and eliminating the need for him to stay in the Heavenly Wind County Inspectorate.

After completing a few remaining tasks, he wouldn’t return to his mansion in the capital either.

Next, he would set his sights on the Spirit Devouring Sect, demonic cultivators, and demonic immortals!

And also… the Northern Wilderness demon tribes!

He intended to travel far and wide, saving the world and liberating the suppressed Great Xia power, uniting them.

As a result, the power of the Martial Division would significantly grow stronger.

This was one of the matters he discussed with Xia Xuan. Too much of Great Xia’s power had been invested in dealing with demonic entities, leading to internal weakness and arrogance among noble families and sects who ignored the law.

Once these powers were reclaimed, it would be time for Xia Xuan to govern with an iron fist, transforming the world..
