1 Lin Hai

"Master." Lin Hai voice was heard in front of the Sect Master's palace gate.

"Enter." A solemn voice uttered from within.

Lin Hai hurriedly entered, joy evident on his face.

Inside was an old man who was wearing a plain robe without any frills. His sturdy build made him look like a mountain, his beard was long enough to reach his chest. It was none other than the Imperial Sword Sect Master and Master Lin Hai.

"Oh brat, you finally broke through. Congratulations," said the master

"Yes, sir, I got through all this thanks to you and your compassion for me. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be around right now," Lin Hai said with emotion.

"Hahahaha good boy good boy, at that time I was just a little boy without any home.

Now see that young boy has grown into a strong young man, you are close to the level of this old man, it seems that I should leave the sect headship to you and enjoy the rest of my life, and also not to mention this topic again, this makes me emotional and emotion is not a good thing for an old man like me hahaha The master said proudly.

"Haha, you are joking, sir. You are still young and much stronger than me. I am sure that you will lead the sect to a more prosperous era than me.

Also, I really can't forget your favor to me, as you know, my family was killed by bandits, and I survived among all of them until I met you, who gave me my sect's number one disciple status and everything else I now have thanks to you, sir," Lin Hai said hastily.

"Well let's get this off now. I have a mission for you," said the master.

"What is this mission, sir? asked Hai Lin.

"It's an expedition near the Bone Abyss region."

"The Bone Abyss is one of the seven forbidden areas?" said Lin Hai.

"Yes, we have noticed cases of disappearance of some disciples near the area. Since you are their elder brother, you must take responsibility for investigating this matter. Also, you must be careful and do not approach the borders of the area. If you fall, no one can save you, not even the Founding Emperors." The sect master said with an expression. Grand.

"Not even Founding Emperors?? Haha, you're exaggerating sir, isn't a Founding Emperor the pinnacle of cultivation? I doubt there is something that can kill one," said Lin Hai with a smile.

"Yes, you're right. Founding Emperor is the pinnacle of the cultivation realm." His master said with a solemn expression, then continued, "But the seven regions are something else."

"Why????? asked Lin Hai.

His master looked at him and said, "Because our founding ancestor..." Then he fell silent after that and did not want to continue the conversation.

"Our Ancestor, you mean the Founding Emperor, Sword Emperor!!!!!! Lin Hai gasped.

"Yes, and who else," said the master

"Tell me, sir, what happened to our founding ancestor?? Lin Hai asked, eager to know more about his indomitable ancestor.

"You don't need to know that now," Sect Master said with a gloomy expression.

"Okay, as you wish, sir, I will go to complete the task now," Lin Hai said disappointedly.

"Wait, take this sword with you." His master then took out a majestic sword full of imperial aura. Only the sword aura emanating from it could split heaven and earth into two halves.

"Weapon of Legacy: Eternal Sword!!!!! Lin Hai shouted in astonishment, then said, sir, I can't accept it, it only belongs to Sect Masters," said Lin Hai.

"Yes, I know. I will lend it to you. Use it if something unexpected happens," said his master.

"No..but sir"

"Don't say more, go now and be careful."

"Okay, thank you, sir. I will make sure that I live up to your expectations," Lin Hai said seriously, as if he was sure of finishing the job.

"Mm." His master replied with a slight smile.

Then, Lin Hai quickly headed toward the location of the mission, not realizing that his brilliant life as a number one disciple of the Imperial Sword Sect would come to an end, and from now on, he would become a completely different person.
