Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 338

Wu Tian's killing of the Sword Emperor stirred a great commotion in the Martial Arts World.

At the same time, some people had already given Wu Tian a nickname: the "Martial Emperor"!

Of course, when Wu Tian learned of this nickname, he just thought it was a terribly lame one!

His delicate features, the refined temperament of a scholar, and his unbelievably powerful martial skills... from that moment on, he became the hottest topic of discussion among martial practitioners, the Jianghu sects, and the members of the great families.

A week after the Sword Emperor's death, his reputation was completely overshadowed by Wu Tian. Such is the way of the Jianghu.

For everyone, however, the Sword Emperor still left traces that could be followed. Wu Tian, on the other hand, was a complete enigma.

Why was Wu Tian so strong?

This was a question that everyone, even the Head of State, the Lord of the Four Seas, wanted to know the answer to.

But everything about him was shrouded in mystery. Anyone could investigate Wu Tian's background, with the sole exception of the four years he had vanished.

Without a doubt, those four years were the key. The Jianghu sects, the great families, and even the Head of State mobilized all official resources to investigate, but they still came up with nothing.

The Head of State was the most shocked of all. He had deployed everything at his disposal, including satellites—every official power he could muster—and still found nothing.

Keep in mind that even the Underworld had clues that could be traced. Long ago, rumors circulated that Earth contained a rich subterranean kingdom where beings just like us, the so-called Inner-Earth people, lived beneath the surface.

The emissaries sent by Yao, Shun, and Yu to find Emperor Huang had disappeared so long ago their tracks were lost to time. Likewise, few clues remained from the departures of Xu Fu, Yuan Tiangang, and Dongfang Shuo. Yet, with the advancement of technology, the "Hollow Earth Theory" became a topic of heated debate among scientists worldwide.

Many believed the Earth's core was hollow. This reasoning was based on calculations of Earth's volume and mass. With a radius of over 6,400 kilometers and a weight of 5.976 x 10^24 kilograms, it was deduced that the Earth's core could not possibly be solid. If it was not solid, then what was at the center? Was it empty space or a substance like cotton?

After the United States of America's satellite, "Yecha-7," conducted an actual survey of the Arctic, it discovered a sizable opening in the region. Could this be an entrance to the Earth's interior?

Since then, every kingdom has held more secrets and connections with the Underworld.

The Underworld was mysterious, but it still had clues that could be traced. A determined person could still discover the location of its entrances if they searched hard enough.

But Wu Tian? No matter how they investigated, no one could figure out where he had gone.

The Head of State had intended to continue the investigation, but a piece of news forced him to suspend all action.

This same news also caused the uproar and clamor of discussion within the Dragon Country's Martial Arts World to reach a new height.

"Have you heard? The Sword Saint from Fusang has set out," people clamored within many of the Jianghu sects.

"The Sword Saint of Fusang is finally coming? Which region of Dragon Country will he arrive in?"

This was the question that truly concerned the people of the Jianghu sects and the great families.

Take the Shaolin Temple, for example. Outside, the ordinary monks continued to offer incense and worship Buddha. Visitors came and went, making offerings and donating money for lamp oil. It appeared no different from any other temple one might see in a modern city. Although some people practiced martial arts outside, their techniques were nothing more than simple farmer's exercises.

Within the Shaolin Inner Sect, a group of martial monks was gathered, discussing the impending arrival of the Fusang Sword Saint, when the Abbot of the Inner Sect, Yong Wu, walked out. Clasping his hands in a Buddhist gesture, he said solemnly, "What is all this commotion about? The Sword Saint is coming from the east. What is so surprising about that?"

As soon as Yong Wu finished speaking, the martial monks shook their heads. One of the younger ones spoke up hurriedly, "Master, Master, it used to be that everyone in the Martial Arts World spoke of the Sword Emperor, whose single sword stroke commanded the submission of all others. Now, everyone talks about this Wu Tian, calling him a godlike figure, the Martial Emperor of the Martial Arts World. But what about our Shaolin?"

"Yes, Master. Long, long ago, Shaolin was as revered as Mount Tai and the Big Dipper."

"In the past, when people spoke of martial arts, they would say that all martial skills originate from Shaolin. But now?"
