Grandpa, times have changed.

Chapter 660 I'll Assemble the Head
sky.

Holding his long sword, Chi Jiuyu looked at the shaky Xuanling Tower, which seemed to be on the verge of collapse at any moment, with an extremely serious expression.

After those few moves, she realized that the mastermind behind this was no ordinary person.

Her foundation lies in the "Slaying Sword Manual," and the destructive power of her slaying magic is unparalleled in the world.

She had just unleashed the Four Symbols Annihilation Sword Wheel with her Annihilation Magic. Although she hadn't used her full strength to mislead the mastermind, she still managed to break through the tower's external defenses after twenty-seven strikes.

Moreover, that idiot remained unmoved even after witnessing the Four Symbols Annihilation Sword Wheel.

Clearly, he himself also possesses extremely powerful offensive and magical abilities.

At the very least, that guy was confident he could block the Four Symbols Annihilation Sword Wheel she unleashed.

"Fellow Daoist, your sword technique embodies the four elements of birth and death, capturing that essence of utter emptiness and stillness—truly profound and unparalleled! Amazing! Amazing!"

The sound came from inside the tower.

As the runes engraved on the tower glowed faintly, Gu Xingyun emerged from the spreading ripples.

He wore a blood-red robe, carried a long sword, and had a smile on his lips, appearing extremely composed.

A mysterious, ethereal, and seemingly real sword intent, encompassing ancient and modern sword techniques and connecting the sword styles of all schools, lingered around him.

"My name is Gu Xingyun, and I have incorporated the swordsmanship of ancient and modern times, and combined the swords of all schools into one."

Swordsmanship - Valley Clouds.

It is an avatar created by Gu Xingyun himself by extracting his life's insights into swordsmanship and combining them with the bloodlines of the world's most talented swordsmen, possessing the perfect qualities of 'swordsmanship'.

"Fellow Daoist should be a swordsman, therefore..."

He slowly rose to a high place and looked at Chi Jiuyu. His crystal-clear, seven-colored eyes no longer held the same aloofness as the original self.

Instead, there was excitement and fighting spirit upon encountering a master swordsman.

Buzz~!

The overwhelming sword intent soared into the sky, gathering clouds from all directions, causing lightning to rage and wind and rain to follow.

In an instant, dark clouds covered Tongyun Prefecture for thousands of miles, and the world was shrouded in darkness. Sword Dao Gu Xingyun stood proudly in the sky, his sword pointing at Chi Jiuyu.

"Fellow Daoist, prepare to die!"

Chi Jiuyu: "..."

Damn it, this guy is such a show-off!
She had encountered cultivators stronger than herself before, but none of them had ever made her hate them as much as this guy in front of her.

Boom!

The ferocious thunder roared and tore through the air, while lightning snakes roamed through the dark clouds.

"So much nonsense!"

Chi Jiuyu coldly raised her sword and slashed!
chap!
Amidst a barely perceptible soft sound, a straight line of white sword light, imbued with a chilling and pure killing intent, swept forward.

Contained within a single line, yet illuminating all directions, its chilling and murderous aura seems to freeze everything in the world.

In the darkness, a blessing from heaven and earth quietly descended, making the sword light even sharper!
At the same time, a suppressive and repulsive force also appeared and descended upon Sword Dao Gu Xingyun.

'The world favors' and 'Heaven and Earth reject'.

If Chi Jiuyu liberated a portion of spiritual energy, nourishing the world and thus gaining its goodwill.

Gu Xingyun, who was once the 'Child of the World' but later harvested the world's essence through a ritual, destroying the entire extraordinary civilization and plunging the world into weakness, is the most despised existence in this world.

none of them.

Even the first patriarch of the Xuanling Sect, who left behind the ritual, was not as detestable as Gu Xingyun in the eyes of the world's will!
However, Sword Dao Gu Xingyun didn't care at all!

As he watched the sword light slashing towards him and felt the murderous intent that made his sword spirit tremble, his excitement grew stronger and stronger.

"What a sword!"

Swordsman Gu Xingyun neither dodged nor avoided, but raised his sword to meet the attack.

He held the longsword forward levelly!
It was an ordinary action, yet it seemed to reveal the essence of all the sword traditions in this world, from the past to the present.

Ding!
Amidst the crisp sound of metal clashing, a line of pure white, violent sword light vanished instantly!
call out!
First one.

call out!call out!
Two!

Sword Dao Gu Xingyun was taken aback. Countless white rays of light had already lit up in his perception, resembling tens of thousands of sharp swords the size of needles.

Ding!Ding!Ding!
The longsword in his hand developed countless cracks under the impact of the sharp light, and was eventually completely shattered!

The white rays continued their relentless advance, tearing through his blood-red robes, ripping open his skin and flesh, and mercilessly extinguishing his life force.

how come? !

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Sword Dao Gu Xingyun.

This sword strike was clearly not as profound as the Four Symbols Sword strike just now, so why couldn't I block it?
Before he could react, a flash of cyan-gold light bloomed before his eyes, and a surging sword light pierced through, causing Sword Dao Gu Xingyun's entire head to explode.

boom!
Hundreds of sword lights appeared and intertwined on the body of Sword Dao Gu Xingyun.

The blood mist dissipated, and the remaining body vanished completely!
High above, Chi Jiuyu sheathed his sword and stood watching the blood mist drifting in all directions below, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

Ah!
Serves you right for pretending!
Our ancestor Jiu Yu, the number one genius of all the heavens and myriad realms, is not someone who has earned his title for nothing!
Why did he have to play with a sword in front of her of all things?
This is not, it's not...

What was it again?

I don't care anymore, I'm just asking for death!

Thinking it over, she continued to look down, her inner power surging, and she did not let her guard down after killing Sword Dao Gu Xingyun.

"Excellent! Fellow Daoist's swordsmanship is indeed unparalleled in the world; it would not be an exaggeration to call him the greatest swordsman of all time!"

Another cloud emerged from the Xuanling Tower, dressed in a long blue robe, its eyes as bright as stars—

Eyes · Valley Clouds!

He looked at Chi Jiuyu, who stood high above with his sword sheathed, and felt no resentment at the fall of Sword Dao Gu Xingyun. Instead, he was even more satisfied.

He so easily defeated the clone who possessed 'sword skills'.

Using this fellow Daoist as material, we will surely be able to cultivate a truly 'perfect' sword avatar.

"Trash!" Chi Jiuyu sneered, "Come up here and die."

She had an air of arrogance about her and looked down on everyone.

In reality, they had already secretly deployed thirteen portable miniature arrays to surround the entire Xuanling Tower.

"Fellow Daoist, do not be anxious. I alone am indeed no match for you."

Gu Xingyun smiled slightly.

Subsequently, more Gu Xingyun emerged from the Xuanling Tower, some with pure bodies and divine markings on their ears.

Or perhaps the mind radiates wisdom, its wisdom flowing in a circular pattern.

Or perhaps their palms are like lustrous jade, containing divine essence within.

Even more remarkably, mysterious runes flow beneath the skin, resembling divine writings.

The first to emerge, Gu Xingyun, was the first to undergo a change. The rest of his body began to twist and deform, his skin became wrinkled, and the flesh under his skin began to disappear little by little.

The person kept shrinking.

In the end, everything else was completely absorbed by those eyes that were as bright as stars.

The same applies to other parts of Gu Xingyun; the excess parts shrink and disappear, and are absorbed and contained by the parts with 'perfect qualities'.

In the end, of the dozens of Gu Xingyun figures that emerged from the Xuanling Tower, only one person remained, with various parts and organs floating quietly around the tower.

They seemed to resonate with each other, as if there was some kind of mysterious connection between them, and the various parts and organs of the human body began to move closer to each other!

The bizarre scene sent chills down Chi Jiuyu's spine.

If it were just one of them, the level of danger she would face would be similar to that of Kendo Gu Xingyun.

But these strange things combined together...

Who knows what kind of monster they'll create!

Chi Jiuyu made a decisive decision!
"Four Symbols Annihilation Sword Wheel! Slash!" This time, he held back!
The terrifying intent of the Four Symbols returning to nothingness and annihilation rotated unpredictably, with a killing sword intent at its core, rotating and expanding outwards, covering a radius of one hundred miles around the Xuanling Tower.

"Cough cough!"

A coughing sound rang out, and another figure, Gu Xingyun, with a pale face and extremely weak physique, emerged from the Xuanling Tower.

Its cultivation level is also at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, but it is much stronger than the previous single clone.

"Please, fellow Daoist... do not be hasty."

As soon as he finished speaking, a solid and powerful magical domain expanded outwards, flowing back and forth, causing the heavens and earth to turn upside down and all things to lose their balance.

It met head-on with the devastating Four Symbols Annihilation Sword Wheel that crashed down!
They may appear weak, but when they start fighting, they become incredibly formidable!
In terms of destructive power, he might not be as effective as Chi Jiuyu's own magical power.

However, in terms of its profoundness and vastness, it far surpasses that of Chi Jiuyu. Even in the Immortal Sect Grand Competition, no cultivator's total magical power could match it.

The Ultimate Law - Valley Flowing Clouds!

boom!
Rumble!
The massive shockwaves exploded, and everything around the Xuanling Tower became bizarre and surreal in the face of this terrifying power.

The world has lost its color, and all things have fallen silent!
A seven-colored heart, with a texture like crystal, rises up, drawing together the skin, flesh, torso, and numerous organs, bringing them together.

A moment later.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, the earth-shattering aftershocks caused by the collision between the sword wheel and the magic domain instantly dissipated.

The ultimate law - beside Gu Xingyun.

A valiant man, resembling a god-king, slowly withdrew his fist. He was dressed in a black, close-fitting outfit, his black hair dancing wildly, and his eyes were filled with coldness.

The ultimate body - Valley Clouds!

Chi Jiuyu was secretly alarmed.

Damn it, that guy just now gave her the feeling of the sixth elder of the Supreme Dao Sect, and now this guy gives her the feeling of a brute from the Dragon Elephant Sky-Supporting Sect.

What the hell!
This small world at the Nascent Soul level is a bit too much!
"I'll give you one last chance. Give up resistance, and I'll let you die a quick death," Gu Xingyun, the ultimate body expert, said coldly.

His perfect body, born from the best qualities of all extraordinary beings in this world, coupled with the absence of the 'God's Ultimate' as his master, destined him to be arrogant and disdainful of everyone.

If he hadn't been thinking about Chi Jiuyu's connection to the grand plan of 'Sword Mastery', he would have already punched him.

"Plow and Beer!"

Oh shit!

It's been installed here again.

He, the Nine Fishermen Ancestor, has defeated all the geniuses of the seven great immortal sects. Why would he be afraid of a mere imposter like you?
Hundreds of sword energies burst forth from the ground surrounding the Xuanling Tower, and the thirteen miniature portable arrays she had thrown out unfolded, with densely packed runes flowing around, enveloping the entire Xuanling Tower.

……

……

Meanwhile, in the city of Tongyun Prefecture.

Many people have already knelt down and kowtowed, worshipping the miracle.

At the highest point of the city wall, a tall, thin middle-aged man with a beard and some gray hair at his temples was gazing solemnly in the direction of what was once Lingyun Mountain, now Xuanling Tower, his expression extremely grim.

"The Great Demon has appeared, and the Ruins of Return are imminent..."

This middle-aged man was the lord of Qianli Tongyun Prefecture.

They are also descendants of the last group of cultivators from ancient times.

His ancestors had helped the great demon who destroyed the 'Age of Immortals' to study ritual secrets, and before their death they foresaw the coming of the end times, so they left behind many scriptures on cultivation and secrets about the ancient times.

The Lord of Tongyun Prefecture only learned about the 'immortal' era, which existed only in legends and was considered fictional by many, through family records.

It was an extremely cruel era. Mortals were like consumables, and cultivators were like weeds. Except for the top-level Nascent Soul Immortals, all living beings lived in misery and had no control over their own lives.

It was in such a cruel era.

A peerless demon has appeared, attempting to sacrifice the entire world to activate the ritual and become even more powerful!
But for some reason, it ended in failure.

'To gather the extraordinary talents of the past and present, to shepherd all living beings and elevate them—why not? Why not?!'

These were the last words of our ancestor before he passed away.

He also seemed puzzled by the great villain's defeat...

Boom!
distance.

It was as if a sun had fallen, unleashing a power that could annihilate everything.

The violent, blazing white light surged and swept outwards like a tidal wave.

Such immense power...

The earth shook violently, and the entire Tongyun Prefecture was on the verge of collapse. Seeing this scene, the prefectural lord couldn't help but feel a sense of longing.

Carrying mountains and driving seas, plucking stars and seizing the moon...

Perhaps this is why the ancient people, knowing that the path to cultivation was fraught with peril, still followed one after another, risking their lives.

"Ah~"

He sighed.

It's hard to say who will win between the great demon and the immortal master...

……

……

Taixuan Realm.

The Hehuan Sect, the Ancestral Master's Grotto.

After learning about the anomalies in the Chaos Sea and chatting for a while about the Cang Clan, Xu Xing and Bie Xuening prepared to return to the Sword Sect.

Inside, Yue Ling stood in front of the table, holding a jar of Xuanzhu Fruit Wine.

This was given to her by the wicked woman, Meizu. She figured she might as well take it home and drink it while playing games.

Yes, she is the Lord's most loyal sword, and she can never be bought!

"Then goodbye, Little Moon Feather," the Enchantress suddenly said.

"Goodbye, Lord Meizu."

As a civilized and polite person, she blurted it out subconsciously.

But as soon as she said it, she realized something was wrong and quickly began to secretly observe her master's expression.

However, Bie Xuening remained indifferent, seemingly unconcerned about what she had just said.

Call ~
Also!

Being civilized and polite is a perfectly good thing, so why is the Lord angry?
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt confident again.

"Then we'll be going now," Xu Xing said.

"Hmm." Meizu glanced at Bie Xuening imperceptibly, then said with a smile, "It's a pity that Sword Venerable is also here this time, otherwise Brother Dao would definitely stay a little longer, right?"

"Perhaps," Xu Xing replied casually.

If his senior sister hadn't come along, he might have stayed at the Hehuan Sect for a few more days.

Meizu glanced at Bie Xuening again, but found her still calm, so some of her thoughts died down.

He waved his hand and summoned two jars of Xuanzhu Fruit Wine, which he then sent over.

"These are for your two apprentices."

Currently, the only disciple with a low cultivation level under her tutelage is Sword Venerable, so naturally she needs to take extra care of him.

Moreover, since the Spirit Ancestor gave her two boxes of Xuanzhu Fruit, wouldn't it seem stingy if she didn't give anything in return?
