The Undefeated God of War
Chapter 38's

Elder Crane's low and hoarse voice echoed throughout the hall.

“I know, everyone is having trouble. To be honest, for us, for the Stork Sect to be taken down to this day was not easy, even though we had an impressive start. You are all under intense pressure. If not for our inner teamwork, the Heavenly Stork Constellation would already have a new master. Our history goes back a long way, and we have a glorious past, but now we are at this stage. If we talk about our past, it will only invite ridicule. If we continue like this, no one will know how long the Stork Sect can last.”

“However, I can see the revival of the glorious days of the Stork Sect!” Elder Crane's eyes flickered with an indescribable radiance.

“The Body of the Stork is one of the legacies that have been lost from the Stork Sect. But now, it had come to the world once again. For us, this is an opportunity. This might be the last chance we have. If we don't let the inheritance return to the Stork Sect, we, the Stork Sect, might be gone within ten years.”

The Stork Hall was filled with nothing but silence. The Elder Crane sighed as he said, drawing on everyone's heartstrings.

“So, I need one person to restore the lost legacy of the Stork Sect nine hundred years ago.”

The Elder Crane looked solemn, his eyes became sharp and observed everyone below him and said.

“My perception is very blurry and I cannot find the specific area where the Stork Body appeared. There are so many people, the chances are small. It may take ten years, or even a lifetime, and we will reap nothing. To leave the peaceful Heavenly Stork Constellation and go to the dangerous Heavenly Road, you can lose your life at any time. This mission is dangerous, difficult, and lean. Who wants to go forward?”

The audience looked at each other, as they thought Elder Crane's perception could at least find a large area. Who knew he couldn't really find an area.

Unless we have to look blindly at the rest of the world?

Many eyes revealed fear. The Heavenly Stork Constellation was always peaceful and did not have much conflict. It was like an earthly paradise. Although not rich, it also does not contain any danger. Although everyone wanted such glorious days in the past, they were already used to this peaceful way of life.

The thought of searching for an unknown target in this world, and to get a tradition from an opponent sounds like a joke, an impossible joke.

No one said anything, and every elder lowered his head and some retreated back into the crowd, afraid the Elder Stork would show them.

Disappointment flashed in Elder Crane's eyes.

Suddenly, a steady and calm voice sounded within the hall.

“Murid Crane is ready to go this mission.”

[Robin: Yes, ‘Crane’ is actually his name.]

A tall man walked. His statue is solid, like a rifle. He was very eye-catching in the hall. His face was soft as jade, with a calm calmness. His eyes were dark, bright, and deep, like the night sky.

His clothes were as white as snow, without a speck of dust. Her hair was silver in color, and it flowed down like a waterfall, covering her shoulders.

A tinge of comfort flashed in Elder Crane's eyes.

“Is there anyone else willing to go forward?” The Elder Crane wondered.

No one opened their mouths.

It was impossible to see if Elder Crane was angry or happy. He nodded: “Then it is settled.”

can

The dim room was illuminated by a speck of light as big as a pea. From time to time, there was a clattering sound.

The Elder Stork noticed the teenager sitting with his legs bent right in front of him. From his appearance, his calmness was not in keeping with his age. Stork Elder sighed lightly and broke the silence: “Your mother, does she have a problem with this?”

Crane bowed and answered gracefully: “My book has agreed to it.”

“Big.” The Elder Crane nodded and looked at the familiar face standing in front of him as another silhouette appeared in his head, “I remember your father when I saw you. I saw him grow up and you're much more prominent than your father. Your father's soul will be satisfied.”

“You flattered me too much.” There was not an ounce of change in Crane's expression. It's the same as before.

“When you were born, your father named you Crane in the hope that you could bring honor to the Crane Sect. Who knew the great mission of the Stork Sect would bear its burden on your shoulders today. ” Stork Elder sighed.

Crane bent a little more: “Please don't worry.”

“In my heart, you are actually the best choice, but I never thought...” The Elder Crane sighed again while staring at the teenager: “You are the most outstanding student in the third generation. To keep you in the Stork Sect with your talent would be futile. If you ... have made something for yourself today, you don't have to do this. The Stork Sect has pulled you down. Your mother was very disappointed with the Stork Sect. Actually I do too.”

Crane's face remains calm, “My mother loves my father very much. He is very happy that I can fulfill my father's wish.”

“Yes, that year was not easy for them. Your mother is very respected.” Stork Elder thought of the past before quickly returning to reality and laughed, “As you get older, it is easier for you to bring up the past. Your strength is more outstanding than some of the other elders. I'm not worried, but since you were young, you don't have much experience in traveling far. That's my main concern. I roamed the Heavenly Road when I was young, and it was dangerous. You should remember that sometimes knowledge is more useful than your fist.”

“Ya.” Crane bowed in response.

“The Mission of the Stork Sect is now in your hands. It's also about the time I hand the item over to you. ”

The Elder Crane had a stern look. He stood up, walked to a corner and took out a dust-covered wooden box and returned to his seat.

Derek heard and gasped. This was the first change in expression since he entered the hut.

The Stork Elder laughed. Crane was perfect and flawless in all aspects and the only thing that made Elder Crane feel uncomfortable was that he was too mature. Crane's maturity far surpassed his own age. It was as if nothing could surprise him.

“Haha, even Crane was surprised. This is rare.” The Elder Stork laughed.

Crane is a little embarrassed, but very quickly returns to his usual self.

The Stork Elder also stopped laughing, and his expression was once again solemn, “The Silver-ranked Heavenly Stork Cloth has always been seen as an heirloom of the Stork Sect. It was considered one of the highest ranked treasures in the Heavenly Stork Constellation. The constellation of the Heavenly Stork is seen as a small constellation, which always has an important reason. Yet not many people knew that the strongest Star Treasure was not the Silver Ranking [Heavenly Stork Clothes], but the Golden Ranking [Coron Sword]!”

Crane's body shot up suddenly, and his face was painted in disbelief.

Elder Stork looked proud, but maintained his tone as firm as metal.

“This sword was subdued as the first Star Treasure when the Stork Spiritual Master first entered the Heavenly Stork Constellation, and it was that sword that accompanied it. His strength was incredible, to the point that he became a saint, and this sword only came out of its scabbard three times. Therefore, almost no one knew about it, and even the surrounding disciples did not know about it. The Stork Spiritual Master seemed to foresee that the Stork Sect would decline, and in order not to attract those who craved swords, the sword had not appeared since he died. Every generation, there will be disciples chosen to protect this sword, and I am my generation Sword Protective Disciple.

Crane looked at Elder Crane in a daze. He had never thought that his sect actually possessed a secret known only to sect members.

Treasure Gold Ranked Star!

If this news came out, it would immediately trigger terror. Those experts might not risk the difficulty to obtain the Silver Ranking [Heavenly Stork Cloth] but if we were to talk about the Gold Ranked Star Treasures, then, those legendary people might not be able to remain calm and composed.

Each constellation may have more than one Star Secret. This Star Treasure was the descendant of millions of years of experience. Star Treasures produced in the same constellation will be categorized as a series. These star treasures usually had some similarities, but different star treasures would have a huge difference in strength. Hence, one would classify star treasures into different ranks.

Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Sacred Treasures.

The highest ranking was Saint Treasure, and there were only a few of them. For example Leo Constellation's Raging Lionheart, and Sagittarius Constellation's Heavenly Bow. Only the largest constellations could produce Saint Treasures.

The Gold Treasure was second only to the Sacred Treasure. Every martial artist yearned for this treasure day and night. Every Gold Treasure would never circulate in the market. Only qualified constellations could produce Gold Ranked Star Treasures.

Tang Tian Aquarius Martial Cabinet was only an Iron treasure, an entry-level treasure.

From another perspective, the highest-ranking Star Treasure of a constellation would show the value of the constellation.

If others knew about the fact that the Heavenly Stork Constellation had produced a Gold Ranked Treasure …

Crane's heart is shaking.

The Stork Sect was able to maintain the governance of their Heavenly Stork Constellation just because those powerful figures did not bother to even glance at the Heavenly Stork Constellation. They assumed that the Heavenly Stork Constellation was a place for the poor. If they knew that the Heavenly Stork Constellation produced a Gold Ranked Star Treasure, then …

Needless to say, Crane knew what it meant to the Stork Sect: The sect would sink into disaster.

“At first, I planned to give this sword to your father. He was the most passionate and hopeful young man I had ever met. I always thought that the future of the Stork Sect was in his hands. But who knows, heaven likes to make jokes. Your father died and you took over his last wish. Maybe this is already fated.”

Elder Crane placed the wooden box in front of Crane.

“From today onwards, this fate and the Stork Sect will be handed over to you, Stork.”

Elder Crane's eyes were fixed on Crane's face.

Crane opened the wooden box in a daze. Elder Crane had spoken a lot, and it affected him greatly. The secret of worrying the Stork Sect had frustrated him. He never thought that he would keep such a big secret when he grew up in the Stork Sect.

Besides, Dad…

He opened the wooden box and found a simple ancient sword that was presented right in front of him.

There was not the slightest pattern on the body of the sword, or anything glittering on it. Above the sword sheath inscribed ancient seal – Stork.

No one would link this simple and unadorned sword with the Golden Treasure.

Crane fingers stroking word ‘Crane’.

Its own name is ‘Crane,’ and this sword is also called ‘Crane’. Are they destined to meet each other?

As if the sword knew the mind of the Stork, immediately said ‘Burung Bangau’ in the sheath of the sword glittered with a shining light. The word ‘Crane’ moved like a metallic liquid, and it floated slowly from the sword sheath before Crane's eyes.

With a ray of light, it penetrated into Crane's hand.

The stork opened his hand to look at the Stork Body mark on his palm.
