Emperor’s Domination

The emperor slowly unsheathed a sword, not the same one used earlier. It wasnt emitting an imperial aura either.

During the unsheathing process, the clouds seemed to be blotting out the sky. Everything became a faint blue. Once the blade was out completely, it was as if the grand dao and laws were covered up entirely.

Despite the ethereal and blurry nature of everything else, one could still see this sword due to its brightness.

It seemed to be made from the accumulation of auspicious clouds. It glowed like the evening and was surrounded by red clouds.

“Buzz.” Strands of ancestral powers swept through the world once he had it firmly in his grasp. This force blew away all the clouds and blurriness earlier.

“An ancestral weapon!” People identified its origin right away.

“Purecloud sword!” One ancestor blurted out in astonishment: “The sword of Progenitor Mu Yun, it was always with him.” [1]

“The progenitor spent tremendous efforts to craft this invincible sword. It accompanied him through numerous battlefields and had put down several True Emperors.” One Eternal revealed.

Progenitor Mu Yun was the founder of the Mu Clan, a being at the immortal-progenitor level. Since the start of time, few progenitors used their actual names for their titles. They usually picked a dao title, unlike Progenitor Mu Yun.

He had plenty of titles in the past; experts of his era gave him more impressive titles. In the end, he kept his actual name and people stuck with it. His other titles became forgotten with time.

As for the particular sword, it wasnt only an ancestral weapon but also served as his personal weapon, never leaving his side.

This invincible sword was now in the hand of Puresword True Emperor.

1. Just a thing to note, sometimes progenitors became Ancestor for their title. Like the title of Insane Ancestor, it was just the word for [mad] + [ancestor], not the word for progenitor even though he is a progenitor. Well, hes also an ancestor too, in the general sense. Ive thought about changingInsane Ancestor toInsane Progenitor, but there are some lines that would kill this in a one-to-one literal translation. For example, during his first introduction back in chapter 2130, 狂庭的始祖狂祖, or Insane Courts progenitor – Insane Ancestor. If I were to change his title for consistency, that line would become Insane Courts progenitor – Insane Progenitor. This feels redundant, so I should change this line tothe courts progenitor – Insane. His title is just 祖 instead of 始祖 like other progenitors. I used Ancestor for some other progenitors afterward in order to keep it consistent in the translation, but I think that was a mistake. Ill use Progenitor when it is 始祖 from now on starting with this guy, Progenitor Mu Yun, and Ill go back and revise certain titles when I spot them. All in all, this actually doesnt matter in the grand scheme of things. Just a minor annoyance for both myself and the readers. Its almost the same thing with Empress Hong Tian versus the other female emperors. Do I keep Empress for them or keep the Immortal Emperor title like in the raws? Did the author intent on making Empress Hong Tian special by having a different title, maybe.
