Chapter 1503 - 1494: The Role of Sword Beasts

Chapter 1503: Chapter 1494: The Role of Sword Beasts

Boom!

Under the furious gaze of Xiao Qi, Qin Wudao drew the Xuanyuan Sword, unleashing a brilliant golden light.

Sun, moon, mountains, and rivers!

Exotic beasts!

Grass, woods, and lakes!

Starfield and universe...

After the Xuanyuan Sword was unsheathed, countless visions covered the entire universe, endless rays of splendid light, purple qi coming from the east, and numerous auspicious signs, almost filling the entire Sky Abyss Divine Cliff.

Xiao Qi widened her beautiful eyes in shock!

Millions of sword beasts halted their advance, prostrating and kneeling!

The entire Sky Abyss Divine Cliff, all sword beasts, were frozen in place, unable to move.

At this moment, many adventurers had already entered the Sky Abyss Divine Cliff. Seeing the sword beasts subdued by the Xuanyuan Sword, their faces were filled with wild joy as they began a frenzied slaughter.

A small number of martial artists followed the sword’s majesty, rushing in the direction of Qin Wudao.

In the eyes of many, a hint of greed flashed.

They understood the habits of the sword beasts!

They only submit to superior battle swords!

And sword beasts are born from the sword intent left by the Master of the Dao Book, gained intelligence, and became a special race.

Throughout the ages, the only battle sword that could make the sword beasts submit was— The Dao Sword!

One of the universe’s top ten treasures!

Ranked third!

The Dao Sword!

The sword of the Master of the Dao Book, supremely powerful!

But the Dao Sword is the treasure of the Dao Saint Temple, the likelihood of it appearing in the Sky Abyss Divine Cliff is zero.

In other words, there is currently an unparalleled divine sword in the Sky Abyss Divine Cliff that is not weaker than the Dao Sword, and obtaining it would be a great fortune.

Many had already decided that if the sword bearer was weak, they would kill to seize the sword.

If the bearer was strong, they would team up to enter deeper into the Sky Abyss Divine Cliff.

Rumors suggest that within the Sky Abyss Divine Cliff, there are treasures left by the Master of the Dao Book, and whoever could obtain them could defy destiny.

"Wow! Your sword is so pretty!"

Xiao Qi came running over, staring at the golden Xuanyuan Sword, swallowing her saliva.

Someone unaware might think she encountered something delicious.

"What use are these sword beasts?"

Qin Wudao ignored the startled Xiao Qi, his eyes flickering with emperor’s light, sensing a pure power within the sword beasts, more advanced than primordial qi.

"Of course!"

Speaking about serious matters, Xiao Qi regained her sternness and said gravely, "Killing sword beasts allows you to obtain the sword origin within them, used for cultivating, tempering the body, and comprehending sword intent!"

After speaking, she flicked her finger, unleashing a blue light that pierced through space and time, killing the nearest sword beast, whose flesh exploded, leaving a wisp of sword qi floating.

Xiao Qi waved her hand, grasping the sword qi.

Circulating the cultivation technique.

Within moments, this wisp of sword qi disappeared, and Xiao Qi’s aura faintly strengthened a bit.

"The strength contained in one wisp of sword qi is equivalent to my cultivating for a year!"

Xiao Qi exhaled a turbid breath, excited beyond measure.

Hearing this, Qin Wudao’s eyes glowed.

He roughly calculated that, just among the nearby sword beasts, there were tens of millions of them. If he absorbed them all, wouldn’t it be equivalent to cultivating for millions of years?

Thinking of this, Qin Wudao, holding the Xuanyuan Sword, charged toward the sword beasts.

Because of the Xuanyuan Sword’s influence.

These sword beasts could not move and could only stand in place, awaiting death.

Blood splattered!

Bodies scattered everywhere!

Before long, Qin Wudao killed ten thousand sword beasts, obtaining ten thousand wisps of sword origin, which he absorbed entirely, successfully breaking through to the mid-Molding Dao Realm.

The growth in cultivation should have been a joyous event.

But Qin Wudao couldn’t feel happy.

In the eyes of these sword beasts, he saw fear, pleading, despair, and endless anger!

Sword beasts have souls!

In the outside world, they would probably also be a mighty race!

He, Qin Wudao, relying on killing sword beasts to enhance his cultivation, how is that any different from the demonic path slaughtering life forms for cultivation?

Thinking of this.

Qin Wudao sighed and sheathed the Xuanyuan Sword.

"Roar!"

Without the suppression of the Xuanyuan Sword, the sword beasts returned to their nature, roaring angrily and biting at the creatures before them, yet no sword beast attacked Qin Wudao.

Qin Wudao stood in place, lost in thought.

"Why aren’t you using the pretty sword?"

At this time, Xiao Qi, panting heavily, ran over, staring at the Xuanyuan Sword and asked.

"Everything in the world has spirit!"

"Though killing sword beasts can enhance my cultivation, it is not what I desire!"

Qin Wudao shook his head and said.

As he walked along.

He discovered that many things in the world are inherently contradictory.

For instance, justice and invasion!

The growth of the Qin Dynasty to this day, occupying intermediate and lower cosmic groups, has invaded countless factions’ homelands, causing numerous families to lose their loved ones.

But if they didn’t do this, the Qin Dynasty would have long ceased to exist!

Similarly, in killing sword beasts, if he slaughtered all the sword beasts before him, his cultivation could at least reach the peak of the Molding Dao Realm, but what wrong have the sword beasts done?

From beginning to end, the sword beasts never provoked him!

If the expansion of the Qin Dynasty involves a struggle of interests, then his killing of sword beasts is purely for personal gain.

Moreover, regarding the expansion of the Qin Dynasty, the interests harmed are only of a minority, while most life forms have gained a new lease on life.

"Your mindset is very contradictory!"

Xiao Qi, too, stopped killing sword beasts, stood beside Qin Wudao, and said with furrowed brows.

"Exactly!"

Qin Wudao did not deny it and asked, "Do you have any good suggestions?"

"None!"

Xiao Qi shrugged, and with a carefree smile said, "Because I’ve never encountered any troubling matters in my life, the old man says I lack sense, but I think I just have an open mind!"

"Do whatever you want; if you don’t want to, then don’t do it!"

"Just like needing to eat when hungry!"

"Sleep when tired!"

"Why so many whys?"

Xiao Qi rolled her eyes, squatted on the ground, observing the chaotic Sky Abyss Divine Cliff.

"Sleep when tired! Eat when hungry! Everything at will!"

Qin Wudao muttered to himself, lost in thought, his deep eyes radiating brilliant light.

The great Dao is simple!

The more complex things are, the simpler the thought needed.

The Qin Dynasty’s expansion outward, because it’s what he desires, aligns with the interests of all Qin Dynasty citizens and cannot be considered selfish.

But for a bit of cultivation, recklessly slaughtering sword beasts and disregarding life is selfish, a self-centered act, even if it results in temporary cultivation advancement, it will create a heart demon.

If the heart is not clear, how can one seek the Dao?

The Dao is perceived with the heart, not seen with the eyes!

What is the heart?

Desire!

Or lack of desire!

Beyond these points, there is no third possibility!

Any weighing of pros and cons is an excuse for one’s actions.

Boom!

Thinking of this, a terrifying aura burst forth from Qin Wudao’s body, the Rule Power of the Emperial Dao soared, piercing through the Sky Abyss Divine Cliff, covering billions of light-years, overturning heaven and earth, shattering voidness.

The frightening imperial might caught the attention of all beings within the Sky Abyss Divine Cliff, many seekers of the divine sword noticed Qin Wudao, their eyes lighting up, and they all rushed over.

Because the aura released by Qin Wudao was exactly the same as the breath released by the divine sword just now!

Both are of the Empirical Dao power!
