I come to see Bai Yujing today

Chapter 275 Entering the Profound Tower Realm

The Thunder Dragon Sword Qi tore through the sky, pointing straight at Qiu Yuanzi's brow!

The Dao Xuan Sect elder's expression changed drastically. He abruptly retreated from his seated position, his whisk exploding into countless silver threads that wove into an impenetrable net before him. Ancient Dao patterns appeared on each silver thread, and the divine image of the great cauldron behind him became increasingly solid, his profound cultivation technique continuously circulating!

Chen Zhian clearly sensed that the Heavenly Technique that Qiu Yuanzi was using contained the shadows of Zi Qing Xuan Wei Chan Zhen and Huang Fu Xuan Wei Chan Zhen!
“The Heavenly Technique that Qiu Yuanzi cultivates, even if it is not the Dao Xuan Long Bian Jing, must be superior to my Zi Qing Huang Fu Chan Zhen. It should contain a third Heavenly Technique in addition to the Zi Qing and Huang Fu Heavenly Techniques. In terms of grade, it must be a second-grade Heavenly Technique!”

Chen Zhian's eyes flickered, and a wisp of divine essence landed on Xu Yuchan's sword energy. He then controlled this sword energy thunder dragon and devoured it!

"boom--"

The moment the thunder dragon crashed into the silver net of the whisk, the water vapor in the surrounding river instantly evaporated.

Amidst the billowing water vapor, Qiu Yuanzi's Taoist robe billowed as the great cauldron statue behind him, which suppressed the void, crashed down, spewing out nine streams of azure energy that transformed into nine chains that coiled around the thunder dragon.

"Chen Zhian! How dare you!"

Before Qiu Yuanzi could finish speaking, the Thunder Dragon suddenly exploded. Countless strands of lightning, as fine as hair, pierced through the silver net, weaving a lightning cage around him. Even more terrifying, these lightning threads were devouring his protective true essence—like countless hungry venomous snakes gnawing at the light shield!
"This isn't sword energy!" Qiu Yuanzi's pupils constricted: "This is Xu Yuchan's Thunder Prison Sword Energy!"

Chen Zhian remained expressionless, and with a slight lift of his fingertips, the lace threads suddenly tightened!
"Crack!"

With a sharp crack, Qiu Yuanzi's left-arm Taoist robe ripped open, revealing skin covered in lightning patterns. This powerful Heavenly Realm expert finally showed a look of horror—his Great Cauldron Divine Form, cultivated for a hundred years, and the true essence of the Purple-Yellow Azure Sheep Scripture were being frantically devoured by these strange lightning threads!

On the other side of the riverbank, Wang Zhao suppressed his injuries and reassembled his Sun and Moon Fist Spirit. Even though he was seriously injured, he would never sit idly by and wait for death.

But just as he was about to make his move, a dark figure suddenly appeared behind him.

It was that demonic puppet that was suppressed by the Prisoner Yuanzi's power!
At this moment, Qiu Yuanzi was preoccupied with his own problems, while Chen Zhian used the Demonic Scripture to control the puppet, appearing and disappearing unpredictably!

"How is this possible?" Wang Zhao turned his head in astonishment, only to see that the puppet's blood energy was surging, and it actually tore open a gap under the residual pressure of Qiu Yuanzi.

Even more terrifying, one of the puppet's hands had already reached out, turning into a pitch-black hand that gleamed with an eerie blood-red light.

"puff!"

His hand pierced through Wang Zhao's chest in an instant!
Wang Zhao died a bloody death!

"Chen Zhi'an was acting from beginning to end!"

Wang Zhao's divine essence flowed, and he sensed the sharpness of that terrifying sword energy. He immediately realized that Chen Zhian had already prepared this sword energy and was just waiting for him to make his move!
In fact, the target of this terrifying sword energy was never himself from beginning to end.

With his Xuanfu cultivation level, Chen Zhian didn't need to use such precious sword energy from a powerful expert.

For Wang Zhao, who was seriously injured at the moment, the real killing move was this demonic puppet that had been "suppressed" all along!
Wang Zhao coughed up blood and looked at Chen Zhian in the distance in disbelief.

The latter remained standing in the same spot, not even the hem of his clothes was ruffled.

"The Sun and Moon Fist is indeed extraordinary," Chen Zhian said calmly. "However, the so-called 'bright sun and moon'... is somewhat undeserving of its name."

Before the words were finished, the demonic puppet suddenly twisted its left hand, which was emitting black smoke.

A popping sound suddenly came from Wang Zhao's body, and the image of the Sun and Moon Toad behind him began to collapse.

The primordial spirit and the mysterious abode are faintly visible!
The demonic puppet's terrifying blood energy surged like a tide, wave after wave, layer upon layer.

boom!
A burst of blood mist exploded, and the fifth prodigy of the Young Tiger Monument was annihilated in both body and soul today!
At almost the same moment, Qiu Yuanzi finally broke free from the Thunder Prison's restraints.

The Dao Xuan Sect elder was in a sorry state, his Daoist robe was torn, his beard and hair were charred, and his left arm was a bloody mess.

But that Thunder Prison Sword Qi still had some strength left, and it came back again, almost turning into a bolt of lightning, heavily piercing his Heavenly Palace, piercing the Great Cauldron Divine Image behind him, and piercing his flesh.

The powerful impact caused the river water to churn, transforming it into a tornado.

An unimaginable explosion of true essence caused Qiu Yuanzi's aura to weaken even further.

As the pervasive moisture dissipated, a precious pearl was seen hanging high above the head of this Dao Xuan Sect elder.

The jewel shimmered and enveloped Qiu Yuanzi's body.

It seems to be an extremely mysterious treasure.

Even with this treasure, plus the equally precious whisk in Qiu Yuanzi's hand, Xu Yuchan's wondrous sword energy still shattered the treasure's light, severely injuring Qiu Yuanzi!

“Senior, Chi Xuanzi and I share the same ideals, and I originally did not intend to pursue the crime of Zhong Yu and Gu Mei trying to kill me. However, I did not expect that you would come down the mountain from afar to kill me.”

Chen Zhian gently stroked the jade sword at his waist, his black robes fluttering in the breeze.

He stared at Qiu Yuanzi before him, watching as Xu Yuchan's thunderous sword energy completely dissipated, yet his gaze remained as calm as ever.

“Senior… There are countless people in this world who want to kill me. When I was weak, even those at the Innate Realm and Jade Palace Realm made their move.”

Later, when I reached the Innate Realm, some powerful figures tried to kill me.

But without exception, they all failed.

Some have already paid the price, some rely on their own cultivation, or some still live in the world due to their profound heritage.

Unfortunately, Chen Zhian is a vengeful person; if someone tries to kill me, I will take their life.

Chen Zhian spoke as he walked.

Qiu Yuanzi's primordial spirit was shattered, his divine form was incomplete, the Heavenly Palace was faintly visible, and his true essence was intermittent.

But the murderous intent in the eyes of this Dao Xuanzong master did not diminish in the slightest.

"It has long been rumored that Xu Yuchan left behind a sword energy inheritance on Xiuba Mountain in the western suburbs of Xuantianjing, but unexpectedly it was obtained by you and even controlled by you."

But… the sword energy has already dissipated, Chen Zhian! Even though I am severely injured, do you still intend to kill me?

Qiu Yuanzi sneered, and his intermittent true essence suddenly burst forth with light, extremely sharp and dazzling.

A powerful aura swirled in the void.

"I have cultivated diligently for a hundred years, yet I have never reached the realm of creation, which is incomparable to ordinary heavenly palaces."

I am now injured, but I still have the strength to spare.

Chen Zhian, do you still possess the same level of inner strength as Xu Yuchan's sword energy?

If so, I'll offer my neck for execution!
If not, given your Heavenly Gate cultivation level... you'd better run for your life as soon as possible!

Qiu Yuanzi's divine essence was intermittent, yet it was still filled with immense power!

Just as he said...

The gap between the Heavenly Gate Realm and the Heavenly Palace Realm is simply too great.

Especially Qiu Yuanzi, an elder of the Great Profound Sect who has been cultivating in the Heavenly Palace Realm for a long time, is an extremely powerful figure in the Heavenly Palace.

Even though he is now seriously injured, the aura he exudes is still far stronger than that of the Tianmen cultivators, and may even surpass the third level of the Xuan character realm, reaching the Tiangong realm!
That is why, even now, Qiu Yuanzi still exudes a murderous aura.

But Chen Zhian suddenly flicked his finger lightly.

The jade sword shone brightly.

This precious sword, forged seventy thousand times, finally revealed its sharpness.

In an instant, the Sword Soul Beacon Tower revealed its mysteries, with beacon fires and smoke billowing.

The Jade Sword was drawn from its sheath and hung high in the void.

The blinding sword light enveloped an area spanning several miles, transforming into a sword domain.

A statue of the Lu Wu deity roared to the sky!
Chen Zhian slowly drew his sword, the jet-black Tiger Soul Blade surging with chilling killing intent.

“Senior, I am currently cultivating the Purple Clarity Yellow Mansion True Mantra, but I know that this technique is not yet perfect.”

Even if the two paths of Ziqing and Huangfu were to merge into one, it would only amount to a third-grade Heavenly Skill.

It is still far from the level of the Heavenly Skill cultivated by the predecessors.

Not to mention the Mysterious Dragon Transformation Scripture!
Senior... how about this... you pass on your Heavenly Technique to me, and I will allow you to flee to the Dao Xuan Sect for one day.

Here's a glimmer of hope for you...

I will pursue you again one day later.

Chen Zhian spoke slowly, his eyes serious.

Qiu Yuanzi's breath hitched, then he burst into laughter. He looked up at the Jade Token Sword floating above Chen Zhian's head and the Tiger Soul Blade in his hand. Seeing Chen Zhian's robes adorned with mountains, rivers, stars, and precious treasures, he sneered, "Do you really think that you can bridge the gap in cultivation levels with these precious swords and blades, with the treasures you possess?"

"Chen Zhian, I know you have a profound foundation. Even at the Heavenly Gate Realm, you are comparable to a Profound Mansion cultivator."

only……"

Chen Zhian interrupted Qiu Yuanzi and shook his head, saying, "I know that you are saying so much nonsense to buy time and recover more of your divine essence and true energy, hoping to have a better chance of winning."

only……"

With a flicker of his divine sense, Chen Zhian took a step forward.

A seemingly casual step, and suddenly the world turned cold!

An incredibly terrifying aura emanated from him.

The Jade Token Sword gleamed with a cold light, merging into the surrounding sword domain.

The Tiger Soul Blade in Chen Zhian's hand moved fiercely, and Lu Wu's Divine Image transformed into a ray of light, falling into the Tiger Soul Blade.

The nine guardian supernatural powers were thus unleashed.

Nine sword energies, along with the Azure Emperor's sword intent, locked the void.

At that moment, a murderous aura began to bloom!
Whether it's sword energy or saber energy, it's just too sharp.

The light it emitted alone was enough to make Qiu Yuanzi's incomplete Heavenly Palace and primordial spirit shatter!
"This Chen Zhian, with his Heavenly Gate cultivation, actually possesses such combat power."

"It's far stronger than the Profound Mansion Realm!"

Chen Zhian once fought against He Guan, who was at the Xuanfu realm. At that time, he was able to defeat He Guan without even using the Jade Token Sword.

Today, Chen Zhian's jade sword hangs high in the air, its sword aura even more intense.

Even so, Qiu Yuanzi gritted his teeth and persevered, and the divine image of the great cauldron behind him began to condense once again.

It seems they're willing to fight to the death.

A smile appeared on Chen Zhian's lips.

The thought crossed my mind again!

But then the jade bead of the Emperor's son in the hilt of the Jade Token Sword began to ring, just like the Jade Token itself!
Within a radius of three miles, the air was filled with a jade-like color, and within it, seven cyan jade sword energies flowed, all pointing towards Qiu Yuanzi!
The mystery of the 70,000-forged sword lies precisely in this.

Qiu Yuanzi's expression changed, becoming increasingly gloomy.

Just then, the Lingye Divine Power flashed across Chen Zhian's body.

A bolt of lightning flashed across the Jade Token Sword!
Qiu Yuanzi's pupils narrowed slightly, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

"Is this Xu Yuchan's Thunderfire Sword Manual?"

Qiu Yuanzi took a deep breath; even a mere wisp of lightning sword light caused a drastic change in his expression.

He fell silent, his expression dark and uncertain.

Chen Zhian remained standing in the same spot, his sword energy whistling, flames raging across the sky, sword energy raging within his sword domain, and faintly emanating the blade light mixed with Lu Wu's roar.

He waited silently, seemingly unafraid that Qiu Yuanzi would delay and allow him to recover some of his spiritual essence and true energy.

After more than ten breaths had passed, Chen Zhian finally spoke, saying, "Senior, what have you decided?"

As he spoke, the surrounding beacon sword domain and the seven jade sword energies within the Jade Token Sword suddenly began to shrink, from two or three miles to a hundred feet.

Qiu Yuanzi's face turned bluish-purple, and the pressure came like a landslide and a tsunami. His true essence and divine energy began to dissipate again, and even his physical bones groaned from the unbearable burden!

The Dao Xuan Sect elder's expression grew increasingly grim.

He never imagined that he would be so humiliated in front of this junior, even to the point of endangering his life, after coming down the mountain.

Death! Then a hundred years of arduous cultivation will be in vain, and the hope of achieving enlightenment will be even more distant!

The sword domain and sword energy contracted again.

Eighty feet, fifty feet, thirty feet...

Up to ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) in length.

Qiu Yuanzi finally lowered his head, his eyes dull and lifeless.

He lightly flicked his whisk.

A weak stream of divine energy flowed over and collided with Chen Zhian's divine energy.

Chen Zhian felt that a lot of information was flowing from that divine essence.

Purple energy and the Yellow Court surged wildly into Chen Zhian's mind from Kaiyang Palace.

"Purple Clarity, Profound Subtlety, and Profound Truth!"

"The Profound Mystery of the Yellow Palace!"

"The Mysterious Emergence of the Azure Sheep!"

—When the three celestial arts are combined into one, it becomes…

"The Purple-Yellow-Green Sheep Classic".

"A true second-grade Heavenly Skill."

Chen Zhian took a deep breath: "With this divine skill, I can directly reach the Creation Realm! My cultivation speed will also increase significantly."

As he pondered this, the purple aura continued to surge into his Yellow Court, analyzing the Purple-Yellow Green Sheep Scripture!

With the foundation of this second-grade Heavenly Skill, the Huangfu Xuanwei Chanzhen, which Chen Zhian had not fully grasped before, seemed to become more accessible and easier to understand.

The true energy within Chen Zhian began to surge and boil.

He flicked his finger again, and the surrounding sword energy vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.

The Jade Token Sword and the Tiger Soul Blade had been sheathed at some point.

Chen Zhian sat cross-legged on the riverbank, and his true energy began to change.

"Having just received divine assistance, one immediately gains enlightenment?"

Qiu Yuanzi's eyes grew increasingly gloomy.

At this moment, Chen Zhian's divine essence also arrived.

“Senior, Chen Zhian keeps his promise and will allow you to escape for one day.”

"Run! I will come to kill you in a day."

"If I catch up with you, you will surely die."

Chen Zhian's voice came through.

Without hesitation, Qiu Yuanzi activated his remaining true essence and sped off into the distance.

Chen Zhian sat upright by the river, contemplating the classics.

How profound is the Second-Rank Heavenly Skill? Even ordinary geniuses who obtain this classic would have no way to cultivate it.

However, Chen Zhian already had the Ziqing and Huangfu Heavenly Skills as his foundation, and with his outstanding comprehension, he also had the Ziqi and Huangting to help him comprehend them.

Chen Zhian actually managed to figure out some of the tricks of this second-grade Heavenly Skill.

His true essence began to change into three colors: purple, yellow, and blue!

Ten hours passed...

As Chen Zhian's true essence fully transformed, a mysterious building slowly condensed inside the Heavenly Gate behind him!
December 29th, the 23rd year of the Dazhi reign.

As the New Year approached, Chen Zhian entered the third realm of the Jade Palace Mystery Character and achieved the Mysterious Tower!
