Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 935 Sword Cultivators Are All Monsters
A thousand mountains cover the sky, a giant sword supports the heavens.

As the flying boat of the Netherworld Gate trembled violently, as the illusory mountain peaks in the air became increasingly solid, as the first mountain peak began to fall.

The colossal sword that seemed to reach the sky suddenly shot into the air.

Boom~~
The earth trembled, space shook, and the sky shuddered.

It was as if everything in the world was shaking.

The hundred-foot-long giant sword cleaved through the air, instantly shattering thousands of mountains like bubbles, and terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations formed a chaotic storm that swept across the heavens and earth.

Huhuhu~~
The strong wind tugged at Yang Zhengshan's robes, making them flutter loudly, but Yang Zhengshan paid no attention, his eyes gleaming with golden light as he gazed at the giant sword in the sky.

The mountains conjured by the Thousand Mountains Covering the Sky Formation have collapsed, clearly demonstrating that the Heavenly Sword Formation's attack power far surpasses that of the Thousand Mountains Covering the Sky Formation.

When the suspended mountains completely disappeared, the giant sword that supported the sky was still there, only its spiritual light had dimmed a bit.

Just when Yang Zhengshan thought the Heavenly Sword Formation should dissipate, a chilling voice suddenly came from the sky.

"The heavens are clear and bright, the earth is resplendent. The seven stars form the handle, the Taiji the pivot. The sword points to the eight extremes, its energy permeates yin and yang. Slaying evil and shattering falsehood, all laws are utterly destroyed!"

Amidst the violent fluctuations of spiritual energy, a figure hovered beneath the giant sword.

His robes billowed, his hair and beard flew wildly, making him appear extremely wild, yet also giving off immense pressure.

"That's Senior Gu Yun!" Yang Zhengshan squinted at the figure under the giant sword.

"Pointing at the Milky Way, opening a path with the sword!"

Jian Guyun's face flushed red, his eyes bulged slightly, and he roared.

A colossal sword, seemingly reaching the heavens, emerged from the sky, pointing directly at the distant flying boat.

On the flying boat, Sheng Youhuang's face was extremely ugly. She did not expect that the Thousand Mountains Covering the Sky Formation would be so easily defeated by the Heavenly Sword Formation of Hidden Sword Mountain.

Another drawback of using flying boats to carry large formations is that the preparation time before activation is very long.

They spent half an hour activating the Thousand Mountains Covering the Sky Formation, and now it would take them at least a quarter of an hour to activate it again.

The giant sword was right in front of them, and they no longer had time to activate the Thousand Mountains Sky-Covering Formation again.

“Li Xuanxiao!” Sheng Youhuang said in a low voice.

A chilling smile appeared on Li Xuanxiao's face. "Leave it to me!"

The next moment, he appeared in front of the giant sword, his hand emerging from his black robe, a dark aura emanating from his body.

A hand over three zhang long suddenly blocked the giant sword.

Compared to the hundred-zhang giant sword, a palm that was only three zhang in size seemed extremely small, yet this palm easily blocked the hundred-zhang giant sword.

"You have such a small skill, but you dare to do the same thing!"

"Shattering Void Palm!"

Li Xuanxiao snorted coldly and slapped his palms out repeatedly in the air.

The three-zhang-sized phantom palms crossed out, and the thousand-zhang-long giant sword shattered like ice crystals, large chunks of the sword body composed of spiritual energy breaking apart and scattering.

Yang Zhengshan narrowed his eyes slightly upon seeing this scene.

Shattering Void Palm!
This is shattering the void!
A martial artist at the Divine Soul Realm can actually achieve such a feat!

Golden Core cultivators can roam freely in the void, while Divine Soul Realm warriors cannot. However, they can break through the void and bring the void into the world.

It wasn't the sword that shattered, but the void itself.

Yang Zhengshan released his spiritual sense, sensing the shattered void, his expression growing increasingly solemn.

The shattered void could actually sever his connection with the Spirit Source Land, meaning that he would lose his most important means of survival in front of Li Xuanxiao.

"We really shouldn't underestimate martial artists at the Divine Soul Realm!"

He sighed inwardly.

The giant sword shattered, but Jian Guyun did not back down; instead, he confronted Li Xuanxiao.

With the cultivation level of late Foundation Establishment, one would definitely be at a disadvantage when facing a martial artist in the Divine Soul Realm.

However, just as Jian Guyun was meeting Li Xuanxiao, two more figures flew out from inside the city.

It is Jian Canghai and Jian Suxin.

The three surrounded Li Xuanxiao, with countless flying swords swirling around them.

"You ignorant rat, how dare you despise the Heavenly Sword Formation of Hidden Sword Mountain?"

"You wretch, have you forgotten that this Heavenly Sword Formation was created by the Heavenly Sword True Monarch!"

Sword light flashed around Jian Guyun, his hands forming a sword incantation, his gaze fixed on Li Xuanxiao with a chilling intensity.

This Li Xuanxiao actually said that the Heavenly Sword Formation was a trivial skill; he was simply arrogant and ignorant!
Although this is not Hidden Sword Mountain, and although the Heavenly Sword Formation here is only temporarily set up, and although the three of them can only unleash a small portion of the Heavenly Sword Formation's power, it is still the Heavenly Sword Formation.

"Sword rises!"

Whoosh~~
Three hundred and sixty flying swords soared into the air, their blades pointing directly at Li Xuanxiao.

Li Xuanxiao's expression changed slightly, "You are no match for Heavenly Sword True Monarch!"

"Hmph, Ten Thousand Swords Return to Nothingness!"

Countless transparent flying swords condensed from the void, and all the spiritual energy within a radius of a hundred miles was transformed into sword intent.

In the blink of an eye, the 360 ​​flying swords transformed into thousands and tens of thousands of swords, rushing towards Li Xuanxiao like a torrent.

Li Xuanxiao's palms flew, his body transforming into a long rainbow, crashing into the torrent of sword energy.

The pale sword energy formed a white torrent, while the dark true essence was like a black river. The black and white collided, and the world was instantly plunged into a terrifying tremor.

The bursts of spiritual energy raged and bombarded the heavens and earth, with booming explosions echoing everywhere. Wuxiang City was as if it had been bombarded by artillery fire, suffering a devastating blow.

The battlefield outside the city was in complete chaos, and many buildings inside the city were destroyed.

The aftershocks of the battle carried a devastating power.

Just as Yang Zhengshan was about to take action to protect Wuxiang City, a white mist suddenly rose up again within the city.

No, that's not mist, but ice crystals formed from condensed cold air.

Ice crystals formed a shield, blocking the sky above Wuxiang City and protecting it.

Yang Zhengshan's expression shifted slightly, and he withdrew his hand that was forming a magic seal.

This is the Taiyin Cold Spring Formation; it must have been set up by Ma Qiuyan and Ning Yun.

However, the Taiyin Cold Spring Formation before us is different from the one before.

Previously, the Taiyin Cold Spring Formation was only a trapping formation, but now it has become a protective formation.

It seems that Ma Qiuyan and Ning Yun have made great progress in formations.

"I'm going back to Sheng Youhuang; I'll leave this place to you!"

Suddenly, Jian Changhe spoke.

Before Yang Zhengshan could answer, Jian Changhe transformed into a streak of light and rushed toward the departing flying boat.

The next moment, another giant sword slammed into the flying boat.

The sword strike came suddenly, landing on the flying boat and shattering its protective array.

"You dare!"

A shout echoed in the air, followed by a long, dark blue rainbow colliding with the sword energy.

"Sheng Youhuang, stop hiding and come out to experience the sharpness of the swords from Hidden Sword Mountain!"

Jian Changhe's voice echoed in the air.

The flying boat seemed to have been injured by that sword strike and was tilting as it fell from the sky.

It fell very slowly, and the levitation formation had not yet completely failed.

Yang Zhengshan glanced at the falling flying boat, then at the sword energy and rainbow in the sky.

True Essence Transformation into Rainbow is a manifestation of power for martial artists at the Divine Soul Realm.

The true essence was about to condense into a long band of light. Of course, it was not a band of light, but pure true essence.

The giant palm that Li Xuanxiao just unleashed was not an illusion, but a pure transformation of true essence.

The battle had now entered its most frenzied and chaotic phase.

On the ground, thousands of innate martial artists were still fighting.

In mid-air, a Golden Body Realm martial artist and a second-tier alien beast were fighting.

High in the sky, the two battlefields grew increasingly fierce and chaotic, as if all order had been lost.

The blazing sun became blurred, and the sunlight became colorful in its distortion.

The battlefield is expanding, and the battle is becoming increasingly chaotic.

A sword aura suddenly shot out into the air, and black chains emerged from the void, firmly locking the sword aura in place.

Ming Shuzi's eyes burned with dark gray spiritual flames, and he was surrounded by pitch-black chains.

"I never imagined that your swordsmanship had reached such a level!"

He stared at the clouds ahead, his expression extremely solemn.

Yunxiao chuckled, "I've long admired your Soul-Suppressing Lock. Today, this old man would like to try and see if I can break it!"

"One more sword!"

The mountains and rivers stretch for thousands of miles, and the world is vast.

A long sword reaching to the sky, its light suppressing all spiritual energy fluctuations.

The sword light was heavy and imposing, almost too magnificent to look directly at.

This sword strike was no less powerful than the hundred-zhang strike that Jian Guyun had just condensed with the Heavenly Sword Formation, and was even a notch stronger.

"Evil is locked away in the Nine Netherworld Prison, and the soul is forged in the silent fire!"

Chains crisscrossed, and dark flames spread, forming a dim net that blocked the terrifying longsword.

The sound of swords clashing rang out, seemingly right next to my ear, yet also as if it were thousands of miles away.

The sword shattered, and the net broke.

The two were evenly matched, and neither gained the upper hand.

"Come again!"

Yunxiao shouted loudly.

Yang Zhengshan watched this scene silently. Yunxiao's swordsmanship was even stronger than expected. Although his cultivation was not as good as Jian Guyun, Jian Canghai and Jian Suxin, his swordsmanship was definitely above these three.

If Yunxiao's swordsmanship is so terrifying, how terrifying must Jian Changhe's swordsmanship be!

One sword falls, another rises.

High in the distant sky, a powerful sword intent suddenly descended.

The dazzling sword light overwhelmed all the light in the world, even the blazing sun appeared dim, with only a long, dark blue rainbow still gathering in the air.

"Sword cultivators are all monsters!"

Yang Zhengshan sighed inwardly.

"But it's time for me to make my move!"

He looked up at the sky, where a streak of light was flying towards him.

Uncle Jiang!
Yang Zhengshan moved swiftly, arriving at the edge of the chaotic battlefield in the blink of an eye, blocking Jiang Taishu's path.

"You are!"

Jiang Taishu looked at Yang Zhengshan, a gloomy glint flashing in his eyes.

This battle was completely unexpected for him.

They had anticipated that Jian Changhe could fight against Sheng Youhuang.

They weren't surprised that Jian Guyun and the other two were able to stop Li Xuanxiao.

They were surprised, but also able to accept, that Yunxiao was able to fight Ming Shuzi to a standstill.

What truly shocked them was that tens of thousands of troops failed to breach Wuxiang City, and the Yang family, single-handedly, held off more than ten elders of the Youyu Sect and tens of thousands of troops.

Although they fought at Hidden Sword Mountain and the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty, what was the actual situation?

Only a few high-level combatants came from Hidden Sword Mountain, and only a few people came from the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty to help. In fact, the entire Wuxiang City was defended by the Yang family of Spiritual Beauty.

Without the help of Hidden Sword Mountain and other forces in the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty, the Yang family would definitely not have been able to defend Wuxiang City.

However, under these circumstances, the fact that the Yang family was able to hold Wuxiang City was far beyond their expectations and made them feel incredulous.

"Yang Zhengshan of the Yang family!"

The fist-sized divine wooden cauldron spun around Yang Zhengshan, with blue arcs of electricity crackling around his body, and lush green vines growing and spreading beneath him.

"It's you!"

Jiang Taishu's face turned sinister.

He clasped his hands together, and a black figure suddenly appeared behind him.

The figure was three zhang tall, holding a chain in one hand and a large fan in the other. Without saying a word, the phantom behind him raised the fan and fanned Yang Zhengshan.

The fan is golden yellow and square, but the wind it blows out is blackish-gray, like a black mist.

Yang Zhengshan's eyes narrowed, and he formed a hand seal, causing countless vines to gather in front of him, weaving into a huge wall.

However, the black mist passed through the vine-covered wall without any hindrance.

Yang Zhengshan's expression shifted slightly, but he did not dodge, letting the black mist wash over him.

As he expected, the black mist attacked the soul.

Soul attack!

He is least afraid of soul attacks.

He felt nothing from the attack; only the Seven Treasures Soul-Suppressing Pagoda in his sea of ​​consciousness trembled slightly.

Jiang Taishu was slightly taken aback, "You!"

He was somewhat puzzled as to why Yang Zhengshan was completely unaffected by the Soul-Severing Fan.

The Soul-Severing Fan is a magical artifact used for attacking the soul. 'Ten thousand years of cultivation turn to dust, a thousand years of grudges become ashes. Where the spiritual wind sweeps, the soul dissipates, and the soul is annihilated and consumed by hatred.'

The Soul-Severing Fan's greatest power is to draw out the enemy's hatred, causing them to sink into resentment and slowly dissipate their souls in that resentment.

Such magical artifacts that attack the soul are extremely insidious. Once hit, one will either die or be crippled, and what is crippled is not the body, but the soul.

Unfortunately, Uncle Jiang did not know that Yang Zhengshan's greatest strength lay in his divine soul. Not only was Yang Zhengshan's divine soul powerful, but he also had the Seven Treasures Soul-Suppressing Pagoda protecting it.

Yang Zhengshan's eyes darted around, and the hand seals in his hands changed rapidly.

The vines transformed into waves and swept towards Jiang Taishu.

Green waves rolled in the air, and countless roots rolled on the ground as well.

Compared to the terrifying sword energy, Yang Zhengshan's methods seemed rather childish.

But there are no useless spells in this world, only unskilled cultivators.

Jiang Taishu dodged repeatedly in the air, while simultaneously spitting out a cloud of black flames.

The black flames were extremely strange; once they stuck to the vines, they couldn't be extinguished. Even when Yang Zhengshan threw the burning vines on the ground, they continued to burn.

"Netherworld Inferno!"

Suddenly, Jiang Taishu opened his mouth and spat out a large amount of black flames, while the phantom behind him simultaneously flung out black chains.

The chains shot out, instantly enveloping Yang Zhengshan, and black flames poured down on him.

The cultivation techniques practiced by the Netherworld Sect are not evil techniques, but rather techniques primarily based on the Netherworld.

Don't be fooled by the eerie aura of their spells and magical artifacts; it's the unique energy of the underworld, not malevolent energy.

There is a difference between the two.

The aura of the netherworld is a fusion of yin energy and death energy.

Yin Sha Qi is a combination of Yin Qi and Sha Qi.

Yin energy is not evil energy; malevolent energy is.

Why is malevolent energy called evil energy?
Because malevolent energy can be artificially created, various insidious methods can be used to create malevolent energy and blood-related malevolent energy.

Therefore, Yin Sha Qi and Blood Sha Qi are considered to be exclusive to evil cultivators.

Yin energy, death energy, and nether energy are not exclusive to evil cultivators; they have nothing to do with evil cultivators.

However, these spiritual energies are more likely to combine with malevolent energy, making them suitable for using insidious methods. Therefore, most evil cultivators practice techniques related to these spiritual energies.
