Chapter 509 - 450: The One Sword of Heaven and Earth

Situ Cheng froze on the spot, watching the middle-aged scholar slowly fly towards the sky, farther and farther away.

He was trapped inside the Sword Array, cursing incessantly, but all to no avail.

In the past, just a frown from him would terrify his senior brother.

And whatever he said, his senior brother would always obey.

But today, even if he exhausted his threats, the middle-aged scholar never looked back.

This made Situ Cheng exceptionally angry, though his anger gradually transformed into fear.

He gazed towards the direction his senior brother flew, slightly stunned.

"Is that... the direction of the Daoist Sect?"

As everyone knows, a tenth pillar of light has appeared near the Daoist Sect.

Within that tenth pillar stood six people, levitating with closed eyes.

They did nothing, just levitated with closed eyes.

Terrifyingly, nothing can approach the surroundings!

On the foreheads of these four men and two women, were embedded pieces of the Profound Yellow Origin Fragment.

Thus, giving an impression that they were Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

One of the women dressed in red clothes, spoke first with closed eyes:

"Earth Venerable, how long must we wait?"

An old man with a head full of black hair, also with closed eyes, replied: "Fire Venerable, Senior Brother said, wait until that person willingly comes."

A man dressed in a black robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, slightly frowned, saying: "Why is Celestial Venerable so sure that person will come to his death?"

Earth Venerable replied indifferently: "Spirit Venerable, because that’s how the Profound Yellow People are, isn’t it?"

After saying that, he sighed lightly, continuing: "Moreover, hasn’t he nurtured this sword all for today?"

The Spirit Venerable, whose clothes were embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, said no more.

They came today because last time Celestial Venerable Cang Wu "opened the heavens" and sensed the aura of "that sword" in the Profound Yellow Realm.

That was the sword that annihilated Snow Venerable over a thousand years ago.

From the First Generation Realm Lord, or rather the First Sword Venerable’s sword.

This shows that the Profound Yellow Realm still has his successors, with someone possessing the sharpest Sword Intent and Sword Domain, nurturing the Heaven and Earth Sword over time.

This has become Kunlun’s final concern.

These Immortal Venerables are each more afraid of death than the other.

Naturally, they dare not risk themselves.

Therefore, there is this scene with six Outer Body Incarnations.

Time moved forward about the time of one incense stick.

A woman dressed in a dark green long dress, with a gold bell tied to her wrist spoke: "Is there really someone coming to die willingly?"

From a distance, a middle-aged man in scholar’s robes was speeding through the air.

"It’s not him." Earth Venerable never opened his eyes, spoke indifferently.

"Indeed, although there is some aura similar to the First Generation Realm Lord, his sword is not sharp enough, calling it a gentleman’s sword is more fitting." Spirit Venerable spoke.

The middle-aged scholar stopped flying about a mile away from the huge pillar of light.

And before him to the right, stood the Daoist Sect’s mountain gate.

He glanced at the six people inside the pillar, his expression unchanged.

No panic, no fear.

Among these six, five had already opened their eyes, their gaze towards the middle-aged scholar was even more indifferent.

Sword Venerable slightly cupped his hands towards the direction of the Daoist Sect, then loudly said: "Elder Jiang, the junior has come as promised."

...

...

The area Beyond the Mountain in the Daoist Sect was enshrouded in mist.

In the Purple Bamboo Forest, Jiang Zhi took a last look at the thin Daoist Nun sitting high on a boulder, smiling and saying:

"Shen Man, that young fellow is calling me, Master is leaving first."

His feet parted from the ground, slowly rising into the air.

When he reached even with the boulder, he couldn’t help but say gently: "If you truly can’t comprehend this sword of the Dao Ancestor, then don’t force it, leave seclusion sooner."

"Don’t waste your prime years as a young lady on this."

Since she no longer needed to enter the Fourth Layer of the Origin Spirit Realm, Shen Man was no longer suppressing her cultivation forcefully.

Additionally, she had previously refined an Origin Fragment, and now her cultivation advanced rapidly, nearly exceeding Xiang Yan of the Eighth Realm.

Listening to her master’s words, she nodded slightly, softly responding.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhi finally embraced his long sword, comfortably levitating.

"Let that kid from the Sword Sect first force out their methods," this Junior Martial Uncle of the Daoist Sect spoke within the Mountain Protection Array.

The middle-aged scholar heard, a trace of awkwardness on his face, helplessly said: "The junior can only give it a try."

The next moment, he stepped forward, forming a sword formula with his hands.

His Lifebound Sword first ascended, then he exhibited the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root.

Within a radius of a hundred miles, one Spirit Sword after another burst through.

The Earth Venerable, who had kept his eyes closed, suddenly opened them wide.

"This is... the technique of the Second Generation Realm Lord!!!"

"No, far from it!"

"Barely learned the superficial marks." he quickly discerned.

Surrounded by thousands of Spirit Swords, the Sword Venerable spoke with slight embarrassment: "The junior indeed only grasped the superficial marks of the Dao Ancestor."

These words amused Jiang Zhi.

"Kid, you are chatting now huh!"

Countless Spirit Swords gathered, the Origin Power within the middle-aged scholar merged into his Lifebound Sword, becoming the focal point of the massive Sword Array.

It’s not injected in, but entirely extracted from within him!

"Not good!" Earth Venerable’s incarnation couldn’t help but shout.

"He’s using this form, forcibly causing this Technique to resonate with the heavens, containing the Power of the Heavenly Dao!"

The six, not daring to boast, promptly took action.

Each of them carried an Innate Supreme Treasure.

Respectively, a Gourd, Bell, Jade Leaf, Rope, Bracelet, Chessboard.

These six Innate Supreme Treasures at this moment emanated various divine lights!

The middle-aged scholar commanded all forces around him, to merge himself into the sword.

Starting with a sacrificial kill, without any reservation.

Because he knew well, he only had one chance to strike.

Any probing, before absolute power, is futile.

"Didn’t expect your gamble is even bigger than Li Chunsong’s." Jiang Zhi couldn’t help but say.

"You dare gamble on me being able to kill them?"

"Then I shall gamble along with you!"

The Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root fiercely attacked the huge pillar of light.

The six incarnations began to cast their spells.

Thousands of Spirit Swords were blown away, scattered beyond the pillar.

At this moment, Jiang Zhi walked out of the Mountain Protection Array of the Daoist Sect.

The sword named Yao Yao had been sealed countless years.

At this moment, the sword abruptly unsheathed!

With an energy pent up for countless years!

This strike, also integrated everything of Jiang Zhi.

Sword Nurturing Skill was gained by him coincidentally.

Jiang Zhi once thought given his temperament, he’d never have the chance to use it in this lifetime.

How could he nurture a sword for years?

Only pity, fate is hard to predict.

After Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root, a Sword Qi spanning a hundred miles, came soaring!

Everything happened somewhat hastily, everything happened somewhat hurriedly.

Yet perhaps things should indeed be "hasty", indeed be "hurried".

The terrifying Sword Qi seemed to possess an unsurpassable power.

Even that gigantic pillar was directly severed!

The six inside the pillar were instantly swallowed by the sword light.

The light of the six Supreme Treasures was also overshadowed.

The long sword named Yao Yao, shining a silvery-white light, shattered directly at this moment!

And the clouds in the entire sky seemed under this one sword, all disappeared without a trace.

Within the Daoist Sect, Xiang Yan with slightly red eyes, raised his head to the sky.

He couldn’t help but speak, reciting the Dao Ancestor’s critique when Junior Martial Uncle received the Dao Seal [Purifying Monarch].

——[Purifying Monarch wields pure snow, sweeping away the nine heavens’ dust.]

What is Heaven and Earth Sword?

It’s that when I strike, it covers all.

Between heaven and earth, only this one sword is visible!
