Sword Heart Tomb, Sword Pavilion.

The gray-haired old Tombmaster sat there as he smiled at the visitor from his family by marriage who had come unannounced. "Fortmaster Lei came visiting all of a sudden. Is there a reason?"

The bearing of the man below the hall was far from ordinary, and his right sleeve was empty where his arm should be. Indeed, he was Lei Yunhe who had just taken over as Fortmaster of Lei Clan Fort a while ago. Lei Yunhei smiled as he looked around at the paintings on the wall. "We can be said to be family by marriage. Why would I have a special reason to visit?"

"So many years have passed, so why are you visiting today?" Li Suwang shook his head and smiled.

Lei Yunhe's gaze was still locked on those paintings. Each painting was a drawing of an exquisite sword. "These are the legendary top ten famous swords."

"Yes." Li Suwang nodded.

"Ranked tenth on the Register of Swords, Untroubled. This sword is as white as jade, and its blade is slender and beautiful. Unlike a sword of the human world, it glides with the air of an immortal. Current successor, unknown.

"Ranked ninth on the Register of Swords, Frost Snow. Twin swords, one male and one female, with the frost of autumn and the snow of winter. By itself, each sword is ordinary, but when the twin swords are combined, they are extraordinary. Current successor, unknown.

"Ranked eighth on the Register of Swords, Celestial Palace. This sword was known to people as the number one sword of justice, presently sequestered in the Heavenly Sword Vault in Heavenly Revelations City and guarded by the sword bondservants. Sword of the Grand Protector of Beili. Current successor, unknown.

"Ranked seventh on the Register of Swords, Moving Mountains. This sword has an aura incomparable in its vastness. One sword could move a thousand mountains and ten thousand tides. The only sword among the top ten famous swords to have been forged by the swordsmith of its time. Current successor, unknown.

"Ranked sixth on the Register of Swords, Azure Empyrean. This sword is the treasure of the Qingcheng Mountain range, and the sword of the Sectmaster. It possesses the essence of Daoism and was previously held by Qingcheng Mountain Sectmaster Zhao Yuzhen. Current successor, unknown.

"Ranked fifth on the Register of Swords, Army Destroyer. This sword is blunt and heavy, and cannot be wielded by someone without a natural-born divine strength. Called the sword of a tyrant, presently the sword of Wrath Sword Immortal Yan Zhantian.

"Ranked fourth on the Register of Swords, Heart. The only sword whose name is a single word. The sword has a soul that aligns with the sword intent of its master. A sword intent that is pure can break ordinary sword intents. The sword of the successor of Sword Heart Tombmaster. Current successor, the young tombmaster Lei Wujie.

"Ranked third on the Register of Swords, Armoured Glacier. This sword is the coldest sword in the world and was originally sealed at the summit of Kunlun Mountain. It was once the sword of the consummate Kunlun Sword Immortal, and is now the sword of Snow Moon Sword Immortal Li Hanyi.

"Ranked second on the Register of Swords, Bright Vermilion Phoenix. This sword is the treasure of Unrivaled City and hidden inside the Unrivaled Sword Casket. Its sword intent is sharp and once drawn, it must draw blood before it returns. Currently held by Unrivaled Citymaster, Wushuang.

"Ranked first on the Register of Swords, Heaven Breached. The number one sword under Heaven, the sword of Heavenly Law. It can only be held by one with the mandate of Heaven. Currently held in possession by the Directorate of Astronomy, guarded by State Preceptor Qi Tianchen."

Lei Yunhe read the words under each of the sword paintings one by one until he saw the last painting. "But why is the painting of Heaven Breached blank?"

"The Heaven Breached sword is a divine sword left by the founding emperor. It hasn’t been seen in hundreds of years. Even as the Tombmaster of Sword Heart Tomb, I’ve never seen it." Li Suwang drank his tea. "Why? Isn’t Lei Clan Fort known to have sealed away the sword and blade? Since when did you become interested in swords?"

"You also know that I have a useless clan brother. He’s not interested in explosives and preferred to practice the sword. Now that his swordsmanship has entered the realm of a sword immortal, the Bai Xiao Hall people said he’s missing a good sword. This time, I’ve come to visit our family by marriage to ask for a good sword." Lei Yunhe finally laid bare the reason for his visit.

"Lei Hong? When it comes to you four heroes of Lei Clan, I only like Qianhu. The one I hate most is the one who became my son-in-law. The second most hated one is coveting after my granddaughter, and the third most hated one is here on behalf of the previous one to ask me for a sword." Li Suwang put down his teacup. "But after all, we are family by marriage, so I have no choice but to give. Talk then, what sword do you want."

"Among these top ten famous swords, there are a few without owners. I’m thinking that this Moving Mountains is not bad." Lei Yunhe came prepared, of course, and he knew that the Moving Mountains sword was forged by Li Suwang.

"I also think that Moving Mountains is not bad, but such a pity. The moment after I finished forging it, it had nothing to do with me anymore. I don’t even know where it is now." Li Suwang shook his head.

Lei Yunhe frowned and looked over the paintings again. "What about this Untroubled, then? It looks quite pretty."

"Untroubled? I actually know where it is, but this Untroubled sword is the most beautiful among the top ten swords. No, it’s the most beautiful of all swords under Heaven. With Lei Hong’s face, cannot. If it were you, you could barely qualify." Li Suwang waved his hand.

Lei Yunhe sighed. "I can’t possibly go to the Heavenly Sword Vault to steal the Celestial Palace?"

"Why must it be among these top ten famous swords? The ranking of a sword does not represent the ranking of the swordsman. Among the five great sword immortals, the Solitary Sword Immortal’s sword, Nine Songs, has never been drawn from its sheath and yet has defeated all swordsmen under Heaven. The Confucian Sword Immortal’s sword, Book of Knowledge, has a wonderful name but when he came to visit last time, he told me clearly that the sword was something he picked from a roadside blacksmith because he thought it was not too bad in quality. Although the Daoist Sword Immortal inherited the famous sword, Azure Empyrean, in practice, he actually used the wooden sword, Peach Blossom, that he carved himself. They are all swords that have no ranking on the Register of Swords. Only my useless granddaughter is armed with the famous sword, Armoured Glacier, and the man with the most tasteless sword, Yan Zhantian, would arm himself with a bastardised sword to scare other people." Li Suwang shook his head and said, "Swords must be chosen according to the character of the swordsman."

"Oh?"

"Like me, for instance." Li Suwang gently lifted his hand, and four long swords whizzed out of their sheaths from behind him. Each sword danced a sword flower before returning to its sheath. "This old master, I drink my tea every day, sing a few songs, so these Four Swords of Elegance are most suitable for me."

"Then what about my useless clan brother?" Lei Yunhe asked tentatively.

"I have a sword." Li Suwang suddenly stood up and shouted fiercely, "Sword forged by Heaven, rise!"

The bricks and tiles on the floor cracked instantly, and a long sword flew out of the ground before falling in front of Lei Yunhe. Lei Yunhe was startled, not by the sudden appearance of a sword, but by the sword itself.

Some swords had a sword aura that surged like ocean tides.

Some swords had a sword aura that raged like galeforce winds.

Some swords had a sword aura that burned like a blazing inferno.

As for this sword, it had a sword aura that was like a sudden thunderclap. Calm and unmoving, yet possessing a terrifying power.

"This sword is named Restrain Thunder. When I was forging it, I placed it on a mountain of swords and summoned nine claps of thunder in its final forging. It is not inferior to my Moving Mountains. It will serve Lei Hong well for a lifetime." Li Suwang smiled.

Lei Yunhe drew the sword with his left hand and exclaimed, "It’s really a good sword."

"It's forged from fallen meteorites, extremely rare in the world. Take it back and tell that brat, Lei Hong, to give up on my granddaughter!" Li Suwang said in warning.

"Old Tombmaster." Suddenly, someone pushed open the door to the Sword Pavilion and He Qu stood outside, looking like he had something to report.

"Didn't I say I have an important guest here?" Li Suwang looked displeased. "What is it? Does it have to be now?"

"Another distinguished guest has arrived," He Qu said.

"Distinguished guest?"

"I think it’s more accurate to say, our master?" He Qu corrected himself after thinking about it.

"Oh?"

"Miss Li Hanyi and Young Tombmaster Lei Wujie are waiting outside with respect." He Qu bowed his head.

Lei Yunhe laughed awkwardly. "Looks like the old Tombmaster’s nagging has brought them here."
