The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Looking at Hei Yuan before him, Zheng Tuo showed no mercy. In his view, this senior Mo Yuan must be an unparalleled expert.

as predicted.

In this encounter, Mo Yuan displayed a power that Zheng Tuo could hardly believe.

Despite his young age, he seemed like a seasoned veteran who had experienced countless battles, employing a variety of tactics and engaging Zheng Tuo in a fierce and evenly matched fight.

What surprised Zheng Tuo even more was Mo Yuan's Demonic Sword Path. This Demonic Sword Path was completely different from the normal sword path; it belonged to a completely different path of sword immortals. In this collision, he could clearly perceive the extraordinary nature of this Demonic Sword Path.

As people might expect, the word "powerful" immediately comes to mind when they come across the term "demonic cultivator."

The same is true of Mo Yuan, who cultivates the Demonic Sword Path; the strength he is currently displaying is truly unbelievably powerful.

interesting.

Zheng Tuo did not rush to kill the black abyss phantom in front of him. He tried to communicate with it with his sword intent to see what was different about this demonic sword path and what was worthwhile about it.

In the process of constantly exploring through battle, he discovered that the Path of the Demonic Sword was truly unfathomable. At the same time, he also sensed a wisp of righteous energy within the Path of the Demonic Sword.

correct.

He sensed a righteous spirit from the cultivation of the Demon Sword Path. Although Mo Yuan did not cultivate righteous spirit, but the Demon Sword Path, there was indeed righteous spirit in his sword intent.

This means that Hei Yuan is not an evil person. On the contrary, the righteous energy in his sword intent is stronger than that of 99% of the Sword Sect disciples.

The righteous spirit and the demonic sword path coexist within one person. No one would understand why such a thing would happen, but for him, who controls the supreme Dao patterns, it was not a big deal.

The Primordial Immortal Realm is vast and boundless, and beneath it lie numerous great worlds, within which countless smaller worlds exist. And within the Primordial Immortal Realm, these great and small worlds are countless living beings.

now.

It's just that one person controls two completely opposite powers; it's nothing serious.

However, he was still very curious about this senior Mo Yuan who cultivated the Demon Sword Path. What kind of person was he that he could have cultivated such an extraordinary sword path?

With these thoughts in mind, he continued to try to fight Mo Yuan and further comprehend the demonic sword path he cultivated.

In the end, Zheng Tuo made his move and killed Mo Yuan.

Although Mo Yuan's Demon Sword Dao is very profound, it is still only a prototype. It is believed that Mo Yuan has only recently comprehended the Demon Sword Dao, so it is easy to understand and there is not much essence.

After killing Mo Yuan, Zheng Tuo continued to move forward.

Along the way, he encountered one powerful figure after another. Facing this group of powerful individuals, he remained calm and composed. After killing them all one by one, Zheng Tuo did not stop and looked at the people ahead.

The person he least wanted to meet appeared before him: Ye'er, Ye Xian.

He wasn't surprised to see Ye Xian here, after all, Ye Xian was known as the strongest genius in the history of the Sword Sect.

In fact, some powerful figures in the Sword Sect even believed that Ye Xian possessed the same talent as the Sword Ancestor and was capable of leading the Sword Sect back to its highest position.

So, the fact that I encountered Ye Xian here means I'm almost at the end of the Sword Sect Ancient Road.

The Ye Xian in front of me was exactly the same as the Ye Xian outside. Her appearance, temperament, and clothing seemed to be no different from the Ye Xian outside.

But Ye Xian at this moment is ultimately fake, because her demeanor is completely different.

Ye Xian looked at him with affection, but at that moment, Ye Xian's eyes were empty and devoid of spirit.

Although he desperately didn't want to fight Ye'er, he knew he had to get past this hurdle.

With that thought in mind, he stepped forward.

Like the previous sword cultivator phantom, Ye Xian immediately attacked.

Sonorous!

The Immortal-Slaying Sword and the Righteous Sword collided, immediately emitting a clear, resounding cry.

Seeing this, Zheng Tuo attacked without saying a word, trying to finish the battle quickly. On the other hand, Ye Xian displayed what it means to be a genius in combat.

The Immortal-Slaying Sword emitted powerful fluctuations, and several beams of immortal light descended, heading straight for Zheng Tuo.

The sword energy that Ye Xian cultivates is called Sword Immortal Energy, which originates from the Immortal Slaying Sword. The Immortal Slaying Sword is the Sword Ancestor's natal magic weapon, so the Sword Immortal Energy that Ye Xian cultivates is the Sword Ancestor's original power.

This is why many members of the Sword Sect believe that Ye Xian possesses talent at the same level as the Sword Ancestor, because he not only gained the recognition of the Immortal Slaying Sword, but also cultivated the Sword Ancestor's Sword Immortal Qi.

now.

Zheng Tuo clashed his righteous sword energy with the sword immortal's energy and immediately suffered a great loss.

Sword Immortal Qi is the original power of the Sword Ancestor, which can suppress all sword qi in the world. Although his Vast Sword Qi is also extraordinary, he has not cultivated it to perfection. Now, he is directly suppressed by Sword Immortal Qi and is very uncomfortable.

Good guy.

We've really run into trouble!
Now, on this ancient path of the Sword Sect, he cannot use any other means or power, because he would be instantly kicked out of the ancient path of the Sword Sect.

Having come this far, he didn't want to be kicked out so easily.

Thinking of this, he continued to unleash his mighty sword energy to fight against Ye Xian's sword immortal energy. The two clashed and went back and forth, and Zheng Tuo was suppressed so tightly that he could not turn the tables.

Zheng Tuo was not in a hurry despite the situation.

He came here to cultivate and become stronger, not to venture onto this ancient path of the Sword Sect. Now that he has encountered Ye Xian and his sword immortal energy, it is truly a wonderful thing.

Without pressure or motivation, he simply remained highly focused, constantly attacking and battling Ye Xian.

Sword Immortal Qi is the original power of the Sword Ancestor, the ancestor of all sword qi. It is true that it can restrain all sword qi in the world, but there is one thing: Ye Xian's Sword Immortal Qi has not yet been fully cultivated.

Ye Xian gained the recognition of the Immortal Slaying Sword and thus acquired the power of Sword Immortal Qi after venturing onto this ancient path of the Sword Sect.

This gave Zheng Tuo an opportunity.

His mighty sword energy is very special, as it comes from the fusion of sword energy and saber energy, containing not only sword energy but also saber energy.

The sword immortal energy can suppress all sword energy in the world, but it cannot suppress all saber energy. Therefore, the so-called suppression of the righteous sword energy is only half suppressed, and the remaining half still has the ability to resist.

As the battle continued and he continued to cultivate the Righteous Sword Qi, the suppression of the Sword Immortal Qi on him gradually diminished.

Ye Xian was not the real body; it was merely a phantom.

The phantom's strength is fixed and will not increase due to the battle between the two sides. However, it is a living person, and it will cultivate the Righteous Sword Qi because of the battle between the two sides, thus making the Righteous Sword Qi continuously improve. With the rise and fall of the two sides, Zheng Tuo is frantically displaying his talent.

In such a frenzied battle, Zheng Tuo's progress was nothing short of miraculous. His righteous sword energy displayed a powerful and extraordinary combat strength, but such rapid growth made Zheng Tuo frown.

In his view, no matter how fast his righteous sword energy improved, it still wouldn't satisfy him.

even.

As his righteous sword energy grew stronger and as he continued to cultivate his righteous sword intent, he began to feel an unprecedented pressure. The righteous sword energy he was cultivating seemed to be as vast as the ocean, with no end in sight.

At this moment, his cultivation speed is like a small stream flowing into the ocean. If he wanted to fill the ocean in front of him completely, it would probably take him hundreds or thousands of years.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Most cultivators need over a thousand years to reach the peak of the Breakthrough Realm, and then spend thousands more years cultivating and becoming stronger until they can finally break through and become a Breakthrough Realm cultivator.

His intuition was correct, and his path was not wrong. Everything was simply because his cultivation had been too smooth, and now he had encountered something beyond the scope of his cultivation. From initially being unable to understand, he gradually began to understand, and finally, he began to calm down and cultivate again.

Not only that, he began to use other methods to accelerate his cultivation.

You should know that he had once practiced dual cultivation with Ye Xian, and their sword intents could merge with each other. Under such circumstances, he tried to fight with Ye Xian in the form of dual cultivation. Immediately, Zheng Tuo felt a wave that made him happy.

Even though Ye Xian is now a sword cultivator's phantom, he still remembers the state of their dual cultivation.

Under these circumstances, Ye Xian's illusory figure actually began to cooperate with his cultivation, while simultaneously releasing all the sword immortal energy under her control, attempting to communicate with Zheng Tuo.

Zheng Tuo was naturally happy to see this situation.

He immediately released his mighty sword energy, and the two forces began to merge, collide, and fuse, reaching an inconceivable state of cultivation.

"what?"

suddenly!

A sound came at that moment, startling Zheng Tuo!

There are actually living beings on this ancient path of the Sword Sect!
He immediately looked around and finally saw a door on the main road behind Ye Xian. The sound just now came from the door.

Despite his doubts, he remained calm and continued to practice and learn from Ye Xian.

finally.

After realizing that Ye Xian was no match for him, he flashed past Ye Xian and flipped into the portal.

Even though it was just a phantom of Ye Xian, Zheng Tuo couldn't bring himself to kill it. In his view, since the phantom of Ye Xian remembered the experience of cultivating with him and even helped him with his cultivation, it must be the real Ye Xian.

brush!
After he entered the portal, Ye Xian did not chase after him. Instead, he transformed into a stream of light and disappeared from the spot.

In contrast, Zheng Tuo...

He passed through the portal and entered a lush, verdant little world.

This little world contains all kinds of flowers, plants, and even mountains and rivers, creating a harmonious scene.

There is such a small world at the end of the ancient road of the Sword Sect?

Zheng Tuo remained highly vigilant, scrutinizing the entire small world with a critical eye, trying to discern any potential dangers within.

This small world is inhabited by all kinds of living beings.

In the mountains, there are elk, rabbits, goats, and even tigers; in the rivers, there are large fish, small shrimp, and even crabs.

Such a lush and vibrant world clearly puzzled him.

suddenly!

He saw an old man fishing by a large river.

This old man was the only human being in this world.

brush!
He descended to the riverbank and looked at the old man at that moment.

He hadn't felt anything at first, but suddenly, the Haoran Sword in his hand began to tremble. The next moment, he sensed a variety of emotions from the fluctuations of the Haoran Sword.

There was excitement, thrill, fear, shyness, and surprise...

A variety of emotions appeared on Hao Ranjian's body, which made him curious about the old man in front of him.

The old man was dressed in coarse linen clothes, with dry, withered skin and a thin frame. His beard was sparse, clearly indicating that he hadn't groomed it in a long time.

This old man looked very ordinary, like a farmer leisurely fishing in the mountains, with nothing particularly special about him.

of course.

Zheng Tuo clearly understood that the old man in front of him must be someone extraordinary, otherwise, he wouldn't be here.

To know.

This place is the end of the ancient road of the Sword Sect. Few people have been able to reach this place since ancient times. The fact that this old man can fish here must mean that he is no ordinary person.

He didn't dare to disturb the old man, but instead sat down not far away and quietly watched him fish.

The old man remained silent, his gaze calmly fixed on the position of the fishing float.

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere became very quiet and peaceful.

In such an environment, Zheng Tuo felt drowsy.

困！
Zheng Tuo suddenly realized that he hadn't slept in a long time.

Since he started to be full of energy without needing to sleep, he seems to have completely broken free from the concept of sleep.

After all, a cultivator's time is extremely precious, and if one were to waste time sleeping, it would truly be a waste of one's talent.

however.

For some reason, he felt drowsy in this place, so sleepy that he couldn't even lift his eyelids.

wrong!

has a problem!
He bit his tongue hard, and the sharp pain instantly brought him back to his senses.

He immediately looked around with extreme vigilance.

As far as the eye could see, the mountains and rivers remained the same, the old man fishing remained the same, and everything around remained the same; nothing dangerous had happened.

Faced with this situation, he frowned slightly, sensing an ominous undercurrent.

There's absolutely no mistake about what just happened. In that environment, he was indeed affected by something, which is why he fell into a drowsy state.

He tried to investigate, but to no avail. It seemed that everything was because of the old man in front of him.

He still didn't disturb the old man in front of him. His intuition told him to stay calm and not to make any rash moves.

After doing this, he sat quietly not far away, watching the old man fish.

I do not know how long it has been.

Zheng Tuo experienced several more bouts of drowsiness, but he managed to pull through each time.

suddenly!

The fishing float in the river trembled, as if a fish had taken the bait.

Seeing this, Zheng Tuo wanted to remind the old man fishing, but the old man flicked his wrist and immediately pulled the fishing rod. Then Zheng Tuo saw something emerge from the river.

Upon seeing exactly what had been fished out, he immediately opened his mouth wide, looking utterly incredulous.

This!
This!
This!
What's going on here?! (End of Chapter)
