Mortal: The Heavenly Spiritual Root that Begins from the Demonic Path

Yi Jue waved his hand, and the gold-eating insects dispersed and then turned into a swarm of insects.

Then, the Seven-Star Sword in his hand flew out.

"It seems that I have to show some real skills."

"I walked the path of the sword before, blindly following the routine, taking Tian Jianzi's path as my own, and comprehending the Seven Wonders of the Heavenly Sword one after another. When I had completed the cultivation of the Seven Wonders of the Heavenly Sword, and nurtured the sword soul into shape, and reached the end point reached by Senior Tian Jianzi, I found that there was no way forward."

"Then, I will seek other means to strengthen myself. However, thinking back to the past, I have practiced swordsmanship for more than a hundred years, and the way of swordsmanship has long become my way of self-defense."

"There is no road ahead. As a sword cultivator, I should open up a path."

“So, I borrowed from the ancient sword cultivation methods and sword realms, and re-cultivated and practiced swordsmanship step by step. Now, I have summarized a path to heaven.”

"This sword has been hidden for ten years. Please give it a try, senior."

As he spoke, he activated the invisible and intangible Heavenly Sword Soul in his body, and green sword lights emerged. Then, under Yi Jue's control, the sword lights directly turned into a small dark green sword.

"The fifth realm of swordsmanship, sword light takes shape, please appreciate it, fellow Taoist."

As he spoke, one green sword after another flew forward. The ferocious fire beast had been continuously burning the gold-eating bug. The two were entangled with each other, but after being separated by countless green swords, countless gaps began to appear.

Yi Jue comprehended the description of the ancient swordsmanship again, and only then did he understand that there were ways to further strengthen this sword energy. By constantly condensing it with spiritual consciousness, he could eventually transform the sword energy into a real object. However, this step required not only spiritual consciousness, but also sword intent.

This small green sword is exactly the sword intent of wind that he has comprehended. When integrated into it, the power of each sword is comparable to that of a divine wind technique.

The countless divine wind techniques naturally brought about a shocking effect. The means that Old Monster Fen had kept hidden for thirty years were finally destroyed under the transformation of this sword light.

However, Yi Jue knew that he had not yet reached perfection in this realm. He vaguely felt that the sword light was not in the most perfect state. It was just that he used his extremely powerful spiritual sense and years of sword practice to forcibly raise the upper limit of the sword light and allow it to take shape.

Thinking of this, Yi Jue suddenly had an idea.
"The spiritual creatures of heaven and earth, the sword evil forms a formation!"

"Yes, the next level is not about sword energy becoming evil, but sword evil becoming formation. Where does the sword evil come from?"

"Could it be that the sword energy is taking shape, and what needs to be formed is the sword evil?"

Watching Old Monster Fen constantly dodging the sword energy, just trying to maintain his undefeated state, but his clothes had been cut, and it was obvious that he had reached his limit. Yi Jue now understood the way forward and couldn't wait to try it.

Suddenly, I felt that the old face of the old monster Fen in front of me was not so hateful anymore.

He directly controlled the small green sword and merged it into a huge green sword dragon. Yi Jue had done this before, but that was just a sword move. This time, Yi Jue only had a thought, and the sword dragon turned into a green phoenix, spreading its wings and roaring.

Yi Jue's feet flashed with blood, and he appeared above the blue phoenix, looking down at Monster Fen, and then said,

"I'm in a good mood today. I won't kill you. Just admit defeat. You still have a chance."

The incomparably powerful spiritual force pressed down with a bang, and the gold-eating insects turned into five large nets that condensed in the air. Yi Jue stepped on the extremely majestic green phoenix, like a god or demon.

Old Monster Fen looked like he was struggling, but finally, after a few breaths, he admitted defeat.

Afterwards, Yi Jue put away the gold-eating bug, and the green phoenix under his feet suddenly dissipated. Then the sword energy returned to Yi Jue's body. These sword energies were different from the previous ones. They were condensed from sword intent, spiritual consciousness, and magic power.

Therefore, Yi Jue worked hard for ten years, but he could only condense three strands of sword energy. One strand of sword energy can be divided into 129,600 sword energies, and the green phoenix just now was formed by the division of one strand of sword energy.

Afterwards, Yi Jue did not leave directly, but said to Monster Fen,
"Your fire magic is very profound. Are you interested in discussing it?"

Old Monster Fen was slightly startled, then nodded, and the two left together, apparently having some private transaction.

Among the crowd watching the battle, the young master of Qianhuan Sect, who had looked calm and composed before, now looked a little serious. At this moment, a voice was heard.

"The third group, Qianhuan Sect's Mo Yin, is fighting against Guiling Gatekeeper Buyi. Both parties are invited to enter."

The young master floated down, and a roar broke out from the audience.
"So he is Mo Yin. I didn't expect that he is so handsome in person."

This is a female cultivator who has reached the Jindan stage.

"Looking at his expression just now, it seems that he took the previous battle very seriously?"

"Of course, that old monster Fen is a well-known cultivator in the Thousand Illusions Sect who has reached the Jindan stage. If it weren't for that old monster Fen, Mo Yin would have won the title of the first cultivator in the Thousand Illusions Sect who has reached the Jindan stage long ago."

"From this perspective, I'm afraid that the person named Yi Jue is also very unusual?"

"The last move was a bit strange. I didn't understand it. It was clearly just an ordinary sword light. How could it directly cut the fire beast?"

At this time, an old man spoke up.

"That is the method used by the ancient sword cultivators. They used sword light to condense a shape. Even for sword cultivators, there are many who find it difficult to accomplish this at the Jindan stage. I didn't expect that I could reproduce some of the grace of the ancient sword cultivators today."

An old lady with an indecent appearance nearby refuted,

"Your mind is filled with the flash of swords. Didn't you see that golden little bug? If I'm right, this bug is probably the gold-eating bug that ranks 12th on the list of strange bugs."

"Even our Yuling Sect has never heard of such a treasure. This young man named Yi Jue is really blessed."

After everyone's analysis, they found out the origin of Yi Jue's methods in great detail. However, Yi Jue didn't care. It didn't matter if his methods were known by others. In a big battle, it is always the person who is powerful, not the methods.

Not to mention, he still has a lot of trump cards, whether it is the Human Emperor Banner that barely entered the Four Forbidden Zones, or the newly-trained Invisible Sword, neither has been shown yet.

And what Yi Jue is doing now is to improve his own trump card.

"Fellow Daoist, the last move of your flame transformation is similar to my sword transformation. However, I see that you don't have the spiritual fire of heaven and earth to protect you, so I don't know why you can transform yourself into flames."

Old Monster Fen laughed and said,
"You are a ruthless fighter, but you are good at flattering others when you need help. If my fire magic can match your sword light transformation, how can I admit defeat?"

"This comes from a secret technique of controlling fire. If you want this secret technique, it is not impossible, but it is my only secret technique. Do you understand?"

Yi Jue naturally understood.

"I don't know what price I will have to pay." (End of this chapter)
