Deep in the Imperial Palace of the Empire.
Before a massive Sword Stele.
An elderly figure sat cross-legged, still as deadwood.
"Buzz!"
A fluctuation transmitted.
Following that, a figure appeared not far behind the elderly man.
This was a middle-aged man, his presence filled with a thick imperial majesty.
Indeed, he was the current Emperor Tianhen of the Imperial Family.
"Child pays respects to the great ancestor."
Emperor Tianhen approached behind the elderly man, speaking respectfully to himself.
"How are things?"
The elderly man did not open his eyes but spoke softly.
"Reporting to the great ancestor, it... it failed; the Life Soul Jade Pendant of Xingchenzi has shattered," Emperor Tianhen responded.
Upon hearing this, the elderly man suddenly opened his eyes.
A terrifying Sword Intent burst forth from his eyes.
The elderly man slowly stood up, turning his head to look at Emperor Tianhen.
