My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Cheng Guang’s body radiated a sacred light from the inside out.

The sacred sheen gave both Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha a sense of familiarity.

"This is Xuanzang’s..."

"It must be, could the master really resolve such dense Evil Aura by himself?"

Both Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha, looking at Cheng Guang who was emitting streaks of Buddha’s light, were a bit uncertain and hesitant, unsure whether they should approach and help Cheng Guang.

Under the gaze of Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha, they saw the Evil Aura threads on Cheng Guang’s body disappearing at a visibly rapid rate.

In just a short moment,

Cheng Guang returned to normal.

At least from the outside, Cheng Guang looked perfectly normal.

However, if one could see through Cheng Guang’s exterior into his body, they would discover his organs and meridians were tainted in black.

Cheng Guang stepped back, withdrawing his fingertips from the Supreme Old Monarch’s chest where the sword blade was embedded.

Cheng Guang slowly opened his eyes, breathing heavily, not knowing when a layer of fine sweat had formed on his forehead.

"This sword..."

"What in the world is this cursed thing?"

Cheng Guang fixated his gaze on the sword blade embedded in the Supreme Old Monarch’s chest, unable to believe that such potent Evil Aura was covering this unassuming sword.

If not for Cheng Guang.

If it were anyone else, they would likely have completely succumbed to such dense Evil Aura.

They would have lost all their rationality.

Moreover, what shocked Cheng Guang was not the Evil Aura on the sword.

Instead,

It was the sword itself.

Before Cheng Guang touched the sword embedded in the Supreme Old Monarch’s chest, he hadn’t felt a trace of Evil Aura.

Cheng Guang considered himself to have fairly sharp senses; even so, he detected nothing unusual.

This wasn’t a problem with Cheng Guang himself.

It was the sword.

There was a significant issue with it.

Evil Aura cannot naturally hide its presence.

The deceased Supreme Old Monarch also couldn’t help the Evil Aura conceal itself.

Eliminating that possibility, there was only one conclusion.

There was something wrong with the sword.

Cheng Guang thought about this, his eyes involuntarily trembling.

"What the hell is this sword, and why can it shield all Evil Aura?"

"Has it completely merged with the Evil Aura?"

"No, even if it has completely merged with the Evil Aura, it shouldn’t prevent the aura from leaking out."

Cheng Guang muttered to himself.

"Master, are you alright?"

"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha hurriedly stepped forward, coming to Cheng Guang’s side and asked with concern.

Upon hearing the voices of Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha, Cheng Guang shifted his gaze, resting it on them.

"I’m fine."

Cheng Guang said, unable to resist taking a few more glances at Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha.

Cheng Guang knew that although Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha were initially doubtful, they were ready to save him later on.

Before this incident, Cheng Guang hadn’t fully trusted Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha.

After all,

Although Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha’s loyalty was enforced by the power of Different Treasures, they still had their own Spiritual Wisdom and their thoughts.

Whether they might betray him later was still very uncertain.

However,

From the immediate actions of Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha, regardless of what they thought inside, Cheng Guang couldn’t find a single fault in their behavior.

While Cheng Guang observed Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha, they didn’t feel anything amiss.

They simply breathed a sigh of relief.

"It’s good that Master is fine."

Guangyin Buddha breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the sword embedded in the Supreme Old Monarch’s chest, and couldn’t help but ask, "Master, what is this sword?"

Cheng Guang shook his head, helplessly responded, "I was about to ask you the same question."

"I don’t know."

Guangyin Buddha awkwardly smiled, involuntarily shrinking his head, daring not to speak again.

Cleansing Thought Buddha was also looking at the sword embedded in Supreme Old Monarch’s chest.

After looking at the sword for a while,

Cleansing Thought Buddha suddenly touched his head, exclaimed, "Right, this sword, I seem to have seen it before."

"It appears to be the Jade Emperor’s personal sword..."

When Cleansing Thought Buddha spoke these words, Cheng Guang’s eyes involuntarily widened somewhat.

His gaze, sharp as lightning, swept towards Cleansing Thought Buddha.

"The Jade Emperor’s personal sword?"

"Are you sure?"

Seeing the stern look on Cheng Guang’s face, Cleansing Thought Buddha couldn’t help but shrink his head again, saying somewhat unconfidently, "I just think it looks similar, but whether it really is or not, I don’t know."

"My memory is very fuzzy; the Jade Emperor seldom uses a sword."

Hearing this from Cleansing Thought Buddha, Cheng Guang still hatched some thoughts.

Although what Cleansing Thought Buddha said had no basis and no one could confirm that what Cleansing Thought Buddha said was true,

Cheng Guang could at least catch some clues from his statement.

If the sword embedded in Supreme Old Monarch’s chest really was the Jade Emperor’s sword,

Does that imply that there was a conflict between Supreme Old Monarch and the Jade Emperor?

It’s improbable for a conflict to occur between Supreme Old Monarch and the Jade Emperor.

Yet, if a conflict did occur, it would be difficult to resolve, touching on the fundamental interests between them.

If it was the Jade Emperor who killed Supreme Old Monarch…

Could it be that Supreme Old Monarch did something intolerable to the Jade Emperor?

Cheng Guang’s brows slightly furrowed, his gaze drifting towards Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang.

"Do you know what this sword is?"

"Is it the Jade Emperor’s or someone else’s?"

At this moment, all of Cheng Guang’s attention was fixated on the sword embedded in Supreme Old Monarch’s chest.

This sword was able to shield some of the Evil Aura, which was already quite strange.

Cleansing Thought Buddha even said it seemed like the Jade Emperor’s sword.

Various doubts lingered in Cheng Guang’s mind, making him feel as though he were in a vast fog, completely unable to see the direction.

For now, only Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang was somewhat familiar with the Jade Emperor.

Cheng Guang’s gaze locked onto Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang, prepared to see if he recognized the sword.

Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang, upon hearing Cheng Guang’s words, initially stunned, then came to his senses and hurriedly shook his head, "No, I don’t…"

Just as Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang was about to shake his head in denial, saying he didn’t know and didn’t think it was the Jade Emperor’s sword, he suddenly thought of something.

The restraint in his body suddenly vanished, and he hurriedly stepped forward, approaching Supreme Old Monarch to closely examine the sword.

"Hiss…"

Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang suddenly inhaled a breath of cold air.

"This…"

"This…"

"This sword, it seems like the sacred sword of the Jade Emperor, but then again, it’s not…"

Cheng Guang’s brows furrowed again, "What are you trying to confuse me with, saying it seems like it is, but it’s not?"

Cheng Guang looked menacingly at Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang.

Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang quickly wiped the nonexistent sweat beads on his forehead, then spoke.

"Sir, this sword seems like His Majesty’s because I’ve seen His Majesty wearing it."

"But, I haven’t seen His Majesty wearing it many times; later on, it seemed to often appear on the Queen Mother, so I said it wasn’t."

Just looking at Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang’s words, Cheng Guang felt slightly headachy and pinched his brow.

What is all this nonsense??

It’s both the Jade Emperor.

And the Queen Mother.

Supreme Old Monarch’s and the Jade Emperor’s matters haven’t been resolved yet.

Now a Queen Mother has popped up.

Cheng Guang glared at Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang and spoke again: "Tell me everything at once, when did this sword first appear with the Jade Emperor, and what was the time?"

"And how did it later end up with the Queen Mother?"
