　　“This old servant greets Lord Sword Chief.”
　　Inside the arsenal of the True Martial Emperor.
　　As soon as Xu Taiping’s primordial spirit left his body and his vision was restored, he saw a short old man with a hunched back standing in front of him, smiling and saluting him.
　　Although Xu Taiping stepped back vigilantly, he still returned the salute to the old man and said：
　　“I am Xu Taiping from the Qingxuan Sect. I got the Sword Chief Order bestowed by the Great Emperor and came to this treasure house. May I ask what is the senior’s name？”
　　Upon hearing this, the old man waved his hands repeatedly with a look of fear on his face. “Lord Sword Chief is too kind to this old man.”
　　Then he began to explain to Xu Taiping：
　　”This old man was originally an old turtle in the Jiuqu River. Fortunately, he was enlightened by the Great Emperor and only then did he give birth to a little spiritual wisdom.”
　　When he said this, the old man turned around and revealed his half-demon and half-human body, showing the tortoise shell on his body.
　　Then he continued to explain：
　　”Later, after the war was pacified, in order to return the military fortune to the people of the world, the Great Emperor ordered the five armies of the True Martial Army to take off their armor together, and all these armored soldiers and the magic weapons and weapons collected from the war were all sealed here.”
　　”Only the True Martial Sword Chief of each session is allowed to enter and select weapons.”
And this old man was named Changqing by the Great Emperor and was as the keeper of this arsenal.
　　When he said this sentence, the old man’s face obviously showed a trace of pride.
　　After figuring out the origin of this old man, Xu Taiping immediately saluted the old man again very respectfully and said：
　　”Qingxuan Xu Taiping, greets Senior Changqing！”
　　The old man smiled and said：
　　”This old turtle really can’t afford this salute from Lord Sword Chief, but the name Changqing was bestowed by the Great Emperor, so this old turtle has the cheek to accept it.”
　　Xu Taiping smiled faintly and said：
　　”Senior Changqing, you are joking.”
　　The old man then beckoned to Xu Taiping and said：
　　”Lord Sword Champion, you come, follow this old slave.”
　　However, before taking a few steps forward, the old man turned his head again and said：
　　”Lord Sword Champion, just like the Great Emperor, you can call this old slave Old Chang, otherwise this old slave really can’t bear it.”
　　Xu Taiping followed the old man’s footsteps while opening his mouth and saying：
　　”Then I’ll still call you Old Chang.”
　　Upon hearing this, Old Chang hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said：
　　”Forget it, forget it, since Lord Sword Champion likes to call it this way, then call it this way.”
　　Although Old Chang said this, there was a look of joy in his eyebrows and eyes.
　　Seeing that Old Chang was walking forward with one hand, Xu Taiping asked curiously：
　　”Old Chang, where are you planning to take me？”
　　Old Chang turned his head and smiled at Xu Taiping and said：
　　”Naturally, it is to take Lord Sword Champion to choose the magic weapon you like.”
　　Xu　Taiping　nodded.
　　And while talking, Old Chang brought Xu Taiping to a door that was as tall as three zhang.
This door was not only cast from black iron, but also had pasted densely on it.
Judging from the talisman scattered all over the ground at the foot of the door the charm paper pasted on this door had been replaced many times.
　　”Hua　la　la…”
　　Old Chang then raised his hand and swept the ground from a distance, clearing the talisman papers all over the ground, and then turned his head to look at Xu Taiping with some embarrassment and said：
“I made Sword Chief Taiping laugh. No one has come here for tens of thousands of years, and the old slave didn’t sweep these abandoned talisman papers.
　　Xu Taiping shook his head, indicating that he didn’t mind.
　　While waiting for Old Chang to sweep away the talisman papers piled up like a mountain on the ground, Xu Taiping suddenly became a little curious and said：
　　“Old Chang, how did the other sword cultivators in the Sword Chief Association receive their rewards this time？”
　　Old Chang answered while working：
　　“Although this Sword Chief Association was disrupted by that Demon Mother, the rewards that should be given out were still given out by the old man.”
　　Old Chang turned his head to look at Xu Taiping and continued：
　　“For example, the reward that originally belonged to your second senior brother, Dugu Qingxiao, has been received on behalf of him by the Qingxuan Sect. As for whether Dugu Qingxiao can use it in the end, the old man doesn’t know.”
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately became interested and immediately asked again：
　　“So, you know everything that happened at the Sword Chief Association that day, Old Chang？”
　　Old Chang, who continued to clean the talisman papers on the ground, nodded with his back to Xu Taiping and said：
　　“Naturally.”
　　As if guessing what Xu Taiping would ask next, Old Chang then said：
　　“But the old man can only watch.”
　　As he said this, the smile that had originally been on Old Chang’s face suddenly carried a hint of desolation in his tone.
　　Xu Taiping immediately understood in his heart.
　　“Alright.”
　　At this time, Old Chang finally cleared an open space in front of the door, and then turned sideways and raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation to Xu Taiping, his eyes full of excitement as he said：
　　“Sword Exalt Taiping, you are the first cultivator in tens of thousands of years to open this door again. Please come in！”
　　As Xu Taiping walked towards the door, he asked curiously：
　　“Can’t even you, Old Chang, open this door？”
　　Old Chang smiled and said：
　　“Besides the Great Emperor, only the successive True Martial Sword Exalts can open this door！”
　　Besides feeling Surprised in his heart, Xu Taiping also became increasingly curious about the scene behind the door.
　　And when Xu Taiping stood at the door, Old Chang pointed to the door knockers of the two large doors and reminded Xu Taiping：
　　“Sword Exalt Taiping, knock on the door three times, report your name, and the door will open by itself！”
　　Xu Taiping nodded, reached out and grabbed the thick door knocker and knocked it three times with force.
　　Then, a extremely majestic and ethereal voice came from behind the door——
　　“Who is in front of the door？”
　　And then he cupped his hands and said loudly：
　　”This humble one is Zhenwu Tian, from Qingxuan Sect, Xu Taiping！”
　　As soon as the voice fell, the two large doors “boomed” and slowly opened from the inside.
　　At the same time, the majestic and ethereal voice behind the door rang out again：
　　”I am the spirit of the Sword Ranking List. Qingxuan Sect’s Xu Taiping, because you have won the Zhenwu Sword Ranking this time, you have the right to retrieve a treasure from this armory.”
　　Xu Taiping immediately thanked：
“Thank you, Lord Ranking List Spirit!”
　　He then realized that the voice behind the door was very similar to the voice of the Sword Ranking List that day.
　　”Boom！”
　　At this time, the two large doors were finally completely opened, and the scene inside was completely revealed in front of Xu Taiping.
　　Contrary to what Xu Taiping had imagined, behind the door was not a room, but a bright starry sky with countless stars shining.
　　Walking in it is like strolling in the starry sky.
However, when Xu Taiping used his eyesight to look carefully, he found that those bright stars were actually treasures.
　　”Bang！”
　　As soon as Xu Taiping walked in, the two large doors behind him suddenly closed.
　　At the same time, the voice of Old Chang rang out again：
Lord Sword Ranking, Old Chang will wait outside the door. After you have chosen the treasure Old Chang will send you out.”
　　Xu Taiping immediately thanked：
　　”Thank you for your trouble, Elder.”
　　As he spoke, he looked up at the sky and saw a huge black flag falling from above the starry sky.
Looking closely, the names of all previous Sword Champions were written on the black flag.
However, immediately, the words on the black flag suddenly changed. becoming the names and introductions of various treasures.
　　Immediately, the voice of the Sword Champion List rang out again——
　　“Xu Taiping, these are all the treasures in this Arsenal. You can choose any one of them.”
　　“However, even if you choose one, if the treasure doesn’t recognize you, you won’t be able to take it away and can only choose again.”
　　“Until a treasure recognizes you.”
Xu Taiping carefully scanned the list of treasures on the Sword Champion List and the introduction of each treasure. The more he looked, the more frightened he became.
He only felt that if any one of the treasures in this treasure house flowed out, it would surely cause the whole world to fight.
　　And just as Xu Taiping was carefully looking at this list of treasures, the voice of the Sword Champion List rang out again and said：
　　“In addition to you being able to select a treasure once, the treasures in this Arsenal can also have a chance to select you once.”
“Of course, from the past experience, among the hundred Sword Champions, one will be selected by a treasure.”
When the voice of the Sword Champion List fell, Xu Taiping’s gaze that was sweeping the list of treasures also suddenly stopped and then he stared at the Sword Champion List without blinking and said:
　　“Sir, I have chosen.”
　　The Sword Champion List immediately asked：
　　”Which one？”
　　Xu Taiping answered without hesitation：
　　”The Thunder Sound Banner！”
　　Although there are far more powerful treasures than the Thunder Sound Banner in this list, Xu Taiping still wants the Thunder Sound Banner. Not for anything else, just for the sentence in the introduction of the Thunder Sound Banner on the black flag – “When the chaos in the Nine Abysses rises again, please ask all the warriors in the world to carry the flag again！”
