Grandpa, times have changed.

Chapter 663 A Crushing Victory at the Civilizational Level

Three days later arrived in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Gu Xingyun dispatched all his clones except for 'Body of the Extreme' to search for Chi Jiuyu's whereabouts throughout the Spirit Cloud Realm.

The 'Ultimate Body' is due to the fact that it was damaged too severely, and that it was an individual created by piecing together multiple modules.

Under the 'Sword of Annihilation', many 'perfect modules' such as the mouth, throat, nose, tongue, internal organs, etc. were directly annihilated, and repairing them was extremely troublesome.

Moreover, he had already set his sights on the formidable combat power displayed by Chi Jiuyu.

With better materials available, they naturally look down on the Ultimate Body Clone.

During this period, the numerous clones worked together to search, turning the entire Spirit Cloud Realm upside down!
However, they couldn't find even a trace of Chi Jiuyu.

Finally, at the suggestion of the Supreme God Gu Xingyun, the main body of Gu Xingyun sent out several clones to forcibly control the emperor of the mortal dynasty, preparing to use their power to further search for Chi Jiuyu.

Although he himself didn't believe that ordinary people could find a Nascent Soul cultivator who was deliberately hiding, but...

What if?
And since we can't find it anyway, it's always good to try more.

the other side.

Chi Jiuyu's injuries have almost completely healed.

Because he had realized that he definitely couldn't kill Gu Xingyun in a head-on fight, after all, that guy didn't just have one main body, but also a bunch of clones at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage...

So she concealed her whereabouts and went to the place where the ceremony had been initiated.

She planned to study the so-called ritual carefully to see if she could find Gu Xingyun's weaknesses and target them.

High above the borders of the Xuanling Dynasty.

Chi Jiuyu sat upright on his cyan-gold longsword, holding a phone in one hand, looking at the 'summary' written by his natal sword on the screen.

These days, whenever she has free time, she reflects on the reasons why she was forced to make a 'strategic retreat' this time.

That guy is shameless; creating a bunch of clones and launching sneak attacks is one aspect.

Her own underestimation of her opponent was also a factor...

This was a mission that rewarded 45 Ascension Points, but she still held onto her old mindset, believing that there couldn't possibly be a cultivator in a world at the Nascent Soul level who could defeat her.

Little did they expect that there might be more than one mastermind behind the scenes.

So many avatars at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage...

Even a fierce tiger can't withstand a pack of wolves, and enough ants can kill an elephant!
emm...

As the old saying goes.

learn from mistakes.

Therefore, she decided to take a steady approach to this mission!
Coincidentally, she had once bought a set of "Steady Cultivation Guide" produced by the Supreme Dao Sect when she was training in the Three Heavens Realm.

Although I didn't use it back then, I'm using it now!
So it wasn't a complete waste of money.

The cyan-gold longsword had been paying attention to its master's thoughts from the beginning, ready to correct her when she made a mistake or got stuck.

But this time it didn't happen.

This made her feel a little lost.

Chi Jiuyu didn't notice what her sword spirit was thinking.

After a while, she put her phone away, and with her right hand outstretched like a sword, she began to make gestures, as if demonstrating sword moves.

At first, she was a little hesitant, like a beginner learning swordsmanship, having to stop and think after each move.

But gradually, her swordplay, demonstrated with her finger gestures, became more refined. Each move was accompanied by elusive sword shadows that appeared and disappeared with her movements, sharp and piercing...

About ten minutes later, the sword moves became simple and unadorned, yet they gave people a sense of inclusiveness and grandeur.

If you look closely, you'll find that it seems to contain the shadows of all the sword traditions of this world from the past to the present.

"Interesting! What a waste to give it to that idiot!" Chi Jiuyu laughed.

She learned this move from Gu Xingyun, the swordsman, when they sparred.

She thought it was a brilliant move at the time, but the person using it was too weak.

Having just tried to deduce and improve the sword technique to make it more suitable for her, she immediately realized its enormous potential.

This is a swordsmanship tradition spanning the entire world!

This treasure, a culmination of countless sword cultivators' insights into the sword path throughout history, was merely crudely combined by that guy, resulting in such a pathetic clone...

This is a terrible waste and an insult to the way of the sword!

Rubbish!

After cursing Gu Xingyun again and again.

"What a pity, I should have fought that guy a little longer back then."

Doing that would not only make that idiot underestimate his own strength, but also allow him to learn more about the swordsmanship of this world.

Impulsiveness is the devil...

Afterwards, Chi Jiuyu calmed down and continued to analyze the sword strike.

……

……

They continued like this until they arrived above the imperial city of the Xuanling Dynasty.

Chi Jiuyu recovered from the state of deducing sword moves, a faint golden light shining in his eyes as he looked down at the bustling imperial city.

The Golden Eyes that Break Through Illusions in the Void.

Under the supreme divine power, every detail of the city's scenery was revealed, leaving nothing to be missed.

This naturally includes the emperor, who is already under Gu Xingyun's control within the palace.

The emperor of the Xuanling Dynasty was a somewhat thin middle-aged man.

With a touch of frost at his temples, he possessed an air of quiet authority.

A spider-like, red, eight-legged Gu worm lay on his brain inside his skull, secretly manipulating the emperor's every word and action like a puppeteer.

That's a very low-level tactic.

Those Gu worms were very weak; any Qi Refining cultivator could easily force them out of their bodies.

But ordinary people who haven't entered the path have no chance of breaking free.

The reason why.

Firstly, Gu Xingyun didn't think these mortals could play a role; they were just casually arranged.

Secondly...

It was also a test.

What if the outsider is an ancient cultivator from the distant past who cared about mortals and was eliminated by the world?

If she were to remove the Gu worms from the emperor, she would immediately discover a 'weakness' and use it to blackmail him with the lives of mortals in the world.

If not, Gu Xingyun wouldn't bother wasting his magic power to slaughter a group of worthless mortals.

Chi Jiuyu stared at it for a while.

After easily interfering with the 'anti-spying' mechanism left on the Gu worm...

"You dog emperor!"

She cursed.

He then withdrew his gaze, remained seated on his sword, and slowly drifted towards the back of the imperial city.

As a sword cultivator of the new era, after seeing all kinds of feudal emperors in the Three Heavens Realm, the Mysterious Realm, and the Military Realm, she had no good feelings towards people like 'feudal dynasty emperors'.

Should we save him?
It's already a good thing he didn't stab me!

Ignoring everything happening in the imperial city, Chi Jiuyu opened his personal interface and looked at the section on [Supernatural Powers, Techniques, and Swordsmanship].

In addition to the supernatural sword techniques he already possessed, he now had added another one—

Spirit Cloud Dao Sword - Initial Creation (Divine Transformation++)

Her newly developed and perfected sword techniques have been recognized by the Tai Xuan Immortal Network.

"The name isn't very impressive," she muttered to herself.

The Spirit Cloud Sword and such...

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she began to discuss it with her personal interface.

"Why don't you replace it with the 'Heavenly Emperor Dao Sword'?"

If the favorability of the Spirit Cloud Realm is maxed out, she could get the title of 'Spirit Cloud Heavenly Emperor'! How domineering is the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Sword!
However, the 'Lingyun Dao Sword' in the [Supernatural Powers, Techniques, Swordsmanship] section remains unchanged.

A message pops up saying, "[Not created independently, no naming rights are granted]".

Chi Jiuyu was taken aback.

Not entitled to name it?!
I couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

"Or you could just change it to 'Dao Sword'!"

She still didn't give up.

……

……

Shortly after.

It is located 370 miles behind the imperial city of the Xuanling Dynasty.

This is the site of the former Xuanling Sect, the largest sect in the Lingyun Realm, and also the altar where Gu Xingyun finally harvested the world and started the ceremony.

Looking out, the towering peaks and magnificent palaces of the immortal mountains have vanished, leaving only a vast plain.

On the plain, a dark tower made of an unknown material, with an appearance very similar to the Xuanling Tower seen before, stands quietly.

There are nine levels in total, and each level appears exceptionally wide and heavy.

The tower itself has a rather rough appearance, unlike the Xuanling Tower which is exquisite and intricate.

The material that makes up the tower is not pure black, but rather a deep, light-absorbing dark red or purplish-brown color. Upon closer inspection, the stone surface is covered with fine pores.

The dense array of holes subtly formed mysterious runes that articulated the truths of the world.

The spire of the tower reaches the sky and connects to the earth.

It is higher than the world, heavier than heaven and earth!
Xuan Yun Dividing Spirit Tower.

Just like the nine bronze armillary spheres in the Xuanxiang Realm, this Spirit Dividing Tower is the core of the Spirit Cloud Realm's 'Spirit Absorption System'.

However, perhaps because this world of Nascent Soul level doesn't value this place much, the effort put into this tower is far less than that of the nine six-fold bronze armillary spheres in the Xuanxiang Realm.

Chi Jiuyu slowly descended from the sky and walked to the vicinity of the tower.

As soon as she stepped inside, she felt a sudden heaviness on her body, and even the flow of magical power within her body became somewhat sluggish.

Because it is rooted in the world, it cannot be moved.

Because it is heavier than heaven and earth, it is impervious to all laws.

Even Gu Xingyun, who is the only person with authority over this world, cannot take it away.

Furthermore, due to the high density of world rules gathered around the Spirit Dividing Tower, ordinary formations simply cannot take effect in this vicinity.

Even if a small portion of the formation is effective, it won't last long before it breaks down.

Therefore, Gu Xingyun could only expand the range of the formation to prevent mortals from accidentally entering and defiling the sacred land.

Unfortunately, while his formation could fool ordinary people in this world, it could not fool Chi Jiuyu.

"Mysterious Cloud Spirit Dividing Tower..."

Chi Jiuyu looked at the mysterious runes formed by the dense arrangement of holes.

During this period, he also practiced the Dao of Talismans and learned the "Scriptures and Sword Book" from the Supreme Dao Sect. He also underwent the inheritance and trial of the True Method "Elucidating the True Talisman Scripture of the Emanation of the Void".

She has already achieved a certain level of expertise in the art of talismans.

But looking at the mysterious runes arranged in the fine holes on the surface of the tower, one still feels as if looking at a 'heavenly book' that is completely unfamiliar.

She didn't notice this when she was studying and researching those high-level runes at the Supreme Dao Sect!

After staring at it for a long time, I felt dizzy and confused, and I could only figure out the general meaning of one of the runes.

Absorbing spirits, metamorphosis...

"Whoo~"

She looked away, closed her eyes, and rubbed her temples.

Oh shit!

This world is going way too far!
Is this really a world at the Nascent Soul level?!
After mentally complaining, she simply sat down on the spot and began to analyze the current situation based on the information she had gathered earlier.

Judging from the general meaning of that rune, this is a tower that can bring about a 'transformation' in people.

Obviously, that idiot tried using this tower and failed.

After all, this tower is so complex; if it were to successfully transform, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to defeat it...

Although Chi Jiuyu understood this, she was not discouraged.

It's normal for someone in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm to be different from someone at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.

That idiot's sneak attack earlier, while injuring himself, also revealed his true strength.

If it's a head-on fight, a one-on-one battle, with the Annihilation Sword as her trump card, she's 70% confident she can win and 30% confident she can kill that idiot.

But that's a different story if you include that idiot's clone; that magical clone and the soul clone are really troublesome...

Absorbing spirits, metamorphosis...

and many more!

Chi Jiuyu suddenly opened his eyes!
The greater the reward, the greater the risk!
Since that guy failed to transform, he must have been left with major flaws besides 'intelligence'.

He could easily employ guerrilla tactics, leaving himself an escape route before openly appearing to defeat the ordinary clones the other man sent out one by one, drawing the main body into a fight with the two most troublesome clones, and taking the opportunity to observe the weaknesses in the other man's body.

Chi Jiuyu thought about it more and more and it seemed feasible; she could even…

"Fellow Daoist's method of concealing one's spirit is truly ingenious; it has made it quite difficult for me to find you."

The sound came from afar, and the main body, Gu Xingyun, and dozens of clones appeared together in the sky.

Before he finished speaking, a terrifying torrent of supernatural power poured down, sealing off all of Chi Jiuyu's escape routes.

However, Chi Jiuyu showed no panic whatsoever, and merely glanced up at them:
"Stupid!"

boom!
Rumble!
It was as if millions of meteorites had crashed down, causing the vast plain to collapse and cave in instantly.

The airflow exploded, compressed into a tangible impact, and roared outwards in all directions.

Even the imperial city of the Xuanling Dynasty, located 370 miles away, was affected and was on the verge of collapse.

Climbing the wall and looking out, one can even see the horizon tinged with a bluish-black hue.

The so-called end of the world is nothing more than this.

The true form of Gu Xingyun stood in mid-air, surrounded by numerous clones, looking down at the apocalyptic scene below, his face ashen.

fake!

It was fake!
It was just an avatar!
Why, why does this damned outsider know such an exquisite method of incarnation!

Gu Xingyun could no longer suppress his anger.

"impossible!!!"

The roar transformed into tangible sound waves, instantly sweeping away the raging fires and billowing smoke on the plain.

Half of his face began to melt again, and his once crystal-clear, multicolored eyes became disordered, resembling a spilled pool of paint, which looked extremely horrifying.

distance.

A long, cyan-gold sword hangs high in the sky. Chi Jiuyu sits on it, his eyes gleaming with golden light, and he holds a bag of snacks and pills in his hands.

"This guy is definitely not normal," she muttered.

The Chi Jiuyu who just went to the Spirit Division Tower was just a sword intent spirit body that she separated.

As the signature divine ability of the Sword Sect, it has been continuously optimized through generations, so of course Gu Xingyun could not see through it.

really!

It would be foolish to fight head-on.

The right way is to use supernatural powers that he cannot understand to deal with him!

Hey!

This is a crushing defeat on a civilizational level.

She's now a shadowy fisherman!
