Embers of Sword

Chapter 317 Destined Person

The golden sea is in chaos, and the Buddha's light is fading.

The grand sound of "What is fate?" spread out like the sound of a bell, lingering for a long time in the golden sea.

Miyun waited for twenty breaths, but did not get the answer he wanted.

He only waited for the gaze from the end of the golden sea.

"Om."

A very light sword sound was heard in the distance.

Hearing this, Miyun's scalp felt numb. The Qianyuan Sea was actually not very big. Even though it was covered by the rules of the Buddhist Kingdom, this golden sea was only a few hundred feet long... But it was extremely difficult to ignore the rules and step across the golden sea.

The last person who tried to do this is still trapped here by the golden thread.

"Brother Xie, are you going to force your way into Qianyuan Sea too?!"

Yuwen Zhong's eyes lit up. When he heard the sound of the sword, his whole state changed. He became even more excited than when he was trying to break through the level before!

The sound of sword energy breaking through the air rang out densely.

The young man in black standing at the end of the golden sea took a step forward. Countless golden threads spread out and flashed, like a silk cage, trying to imprison him here.

The rules of this Qianyuan Sea have been set!

Without debate, there is no way to move forward!
Unless...you force your way in!
The ear-piercing sound of metal colliding exploded in the sea of clouds. Xie Xuanyi stretched out two fingers, put them together and erected them in front of him. The sword energy hole between his eyebrows opened up, and countless dark sword energies surged out. The Dao principles containing the power of destruction swarmed out like swimming fish, completely wrapping up his three feet around him. The sound of metal exploding was the sound of the sword energy colliding with the Qianyuan Sea Silk Thread!

"Kakakaka!"

Golden threads filled the sky, entangled with the pitch-black sword energy.

Miyun looked very ugly.

He stretched out his hands, trying to press all the golden sea's threads onto Xie Xuanyi alone... but unfortunately, that circle of sword energy was too sharp.

When the golden thread touched it, it was cut.

It was cut into two, then entangled again and cut off again.

Endless silk threads emerged, and rushed towards Xie Xuanyi. The entire sea of clouds seemed to be submerged in golden light!
What a shocking scene this is?
Miyun tried almost every possible means to stop the other party from advancing.

The place where Xie Xuanyi was standing was almost covered with golden light from top to bottom and from left to right. Even so, his speed was not hindered at all.

After casting his first glance at Miyun, Xie Xuanyi began to move forward.

He walked in a perfectly straight line.

Miyun knew what this meant... Xie Zhen had already captured his position. This guy's spiritual realm was far beyond the upper limit that could be concealed by Qianyuan Sea!

Countless golden threads whistled over, and the path to destruction was completely cut off...

Instead of slowing down, Xie Xuanyi's speed became faster and faster.

Walk all the way.

The golden sea of clouds shattered, and the dark sword energy dragged, forming a long diameter!

Xie Xuanyi saw two middle-aged monks trapped halfway in the sea of clouds.

These two were guests from the imperial city who came to participate in the challenge of the Golden Body Pagoda of the Great Pudu Temple today. Miao Zhen's outrageous words damaged the reputation of the Great Chu royal family. They came here today to take advantage of their age and kill the prestige of the Brahma Sound Temple. Unfortunately, the last level set by Miao Zhen was too difficult, and both of them were trapped in the "debate" world of Miyun.

The thick fog was shattered by the sword energy.

The two royal guests regained consciousness briefly after being restrained by Qianyuan Hai. They saw from afar the black-clad figure carrying golden light and moving forward, and immediately understood what had happened!
Some ruthless person broke into Qianyuan Sea!

And from the looks of it...it seems like it's almost successful!
The entire golden line of the Qianyuan Sea was weighing on him alone, but it couldn't stop him from moving forward!
"Fellow!"

A guest official could not help but shout in surprise: "Fellow Daoist, please stay! I am a guest official of the royal family. If you can help me out of this predicament today, the royal family of Da Chu will definitely reward you handsomely!"

He quickly brought up the name of the Da Chu royal family.

Although I didn't see the other person's appearance clearly and didn't know his identity, the name of the Da Chu royal family was always useful.

Who dares not to give face to the Da Chu royal family?

I never expected that after these words were spoken, there would only be a sneer of contempt from afar.

"Ah."

Xie Xuanyi glanced at the golden sea expressionlessly, then looked away again. He flicked his fingers and sent out a wisp of sword energy, which stitched the briefly cracked "Debate" world back together. With the addition of the principle of annihilation, this extremely narrow blocked cave was even more solid than before.

After doing all this, Xie Xuanyi stopped.

At this moment, he was only about a hundred feet away from the exit of the Golden Sea.

The clouds became denser.

The figure of the little monk sitting above the golden sea was vaguely visible at the end of the mist.

Miyun said anxiously, "Thank you, benefactor. Why do you have to do this? We can pass the test by just debating the scriptures. Why do we have to fight?"

"..."

Xie Xuanyi remained silent, but silently stretched out his hand, and thousands of dark sword qi poured out from the cave between his eyebrows. The condensed ninety percent of the way of destruction turned into a slender long sword, which condensed and landed on the palm of his hand.

What he hates most is words like this.

Can you pass the test just by debating?

Why should everyone follow the rules set by Fanyin Temple?
laugh!
The sword tip condensed by the Way of Destruction spewed out a heavy breath.

This ray of sword energy suddenly expanded hundreds of times!
Under the reflection of this huge law of destruction, the golden light of the entire Qianyuan Sea seemed dim!

"The nearly solid principle of destruction?"

Yuwen Zhong, who was bound by the golden thread, could see the terrifying power of the sword even from a distance of hundreds of feet.

The Holy Son of Qiantian Palace opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

No wonder I was no match for Xie Zhen in Dayue Secret Realm...

I haven't condensed the Dao principles yet.

The other party can step into the Yin God at any time, and what he comprehends is the top-level "Law of Destruction"!
This is not even on the same level! Too far apart!
"You ask me, what is fate?"

Xie Xuanyi slowly raised the pitch-black sword and said calmly, word by word, "When this sword is slashed, it is destined or not."

These were the first words he uttered after stepping into the sea of clouds.

The sound spread.

The young monk Miyun, who was guarding the exit of Jinhai, was stunned for a moment. He looked dazed for a moment, not for anything else, but just because the voice seemed familiar... as if he had heard it somewhere not long ago.

next moment.

The little monk's pupils contracted.

The principle of destruction, which had been condensed to 90%, turned into a huge sword and slashed down from the sky, as if it was going to cut the entire Qianyuan Sea in half.

This is the case.

Even if he used all his strength to press down all the golden threads.

It is impossible to stop this sword.

"Boom!"

The smoke and clouds shattered, the golden threads scattered, and the pitch-black sword light flooded the entire Qianyuan Sea, as if it had sensed the unstoppable sword intent... The layers of golden threads that bound and entangled Yu Wenzhong's red armor broke and shattered. The Holy Son of Qiantian Palace, who was eager to escape from Miyun's control, had forgotten to move. He just stood there in a daze, looking up and immersing himself in the momentum of this sword that could destroy the world!
It turns out that a touch of sword intent can really swallow mountains and rivers!

The more you look at this sword, the more frightening it becomes.

Even though Yuwen Zhong was a proud man, he had to admit... even with the help of the Panxuan Mirror, he would not be able to survive such a sword.

Is there anyone in this world who can really take this sword?

If I can't do it myself, how can Miaozhen do it?

…………

The rumbling thunder of Qianyuan Sea spread for several miles.

The entire Buddhist world can hear it.

The challengers who came from the Bronze Man Wall stood silently at the end of the golden sea. This world of sea of clouds had been cut into pieces, except for the location of the two royal guests, which was still wrapped in golden threads and the law of destruction and was not affected by the sword at all. Other places collapsed, the light dimmed, the clouds and mist broke, and the scene was in ruins.

"Xie Zhen, this is... too exaggerated, right?"

Shang Yi murmured.

"With one sword, a blessed land was destroyed."

Wu Yue's heart surged, and he couldn't help but sigh: "This is at least the killing power that can only be unleashed by the Yin God Realm..."

When the delegation from the Fanyin Temple just arrived, a rumor spread widely in the imperial city.

It is said that Miaozhen, a disciple of Buddha, defeated and killed a Yinshen master of an evil sect in southern Xinjiang with his body of a cave heaven.

Wu Yue and Shang Yi did not believe this rumor at all. Being geniuses born in the Holy Land, they knew clearly how big the gap was between the Cave Heaven and the Yin God.

But at this moment, he saw with his own eyes the sword that destroyed the sea of clouds with Xie Zhen's sword.

Their cognition was completely overturned.

It turns out that there are people who can really use the magical powers of the Yin God in the realm of cave heaven.

"I heard that the person in charge of guarding this pass is Miao Zhen's most beloved nephew Miyun. Although he is young, he has attained enlightenment very early and has mastered the most important 'cause and effect' of the Fanyin Temple..."

A guest from an aristocratic family frowned and said, "Xie Zhen's sword should only have destroyed the Qianyuan Sea, right?"

This statement came out.

Shang Yi and Wu Yue felt a pang in their hearts.

Xie Zhen is a killer!
The power of this sword is so huge, how could it be as simple as just destroying Qianyuan Sea?
Before anyone could take a step, the smoke had already dispersed.

The golden sea of hundreds of feet wide was clearly visible after the clouds and mist dissipated... Everyone could see the young man in black and the young monk in cloth standing at the end of the golden sea.

The little monk who was sitting high on the top of the sea of clouds fell to the bottom of the golden sea. He floated down and closed his eyes. Although he looked nervous, he did not have the slightest intention of hiding.

That sword contains the dark principles.

It was hanging over his head.

The sword fell, but it didn't fall completely.

Xie Xuanyi held the sword and looked at the little guy in front of him calmly. The entire Qianyuan Sea was almost cut in half. The sword should have continued to cut down, but at the last moment, he retracted the sword intent.

"Thank you, benefactor... Why don't you let this sword strike you down?"

Miyun slowly opened his eyes and pretended to be calm, but he was too young after all, and his voice was still slightly trembling.

"There is no need to kill people in a dispute of righteousness."

Xie Xuanyi's answer was very simple.

He would not kill women and children unless he had committed a great many crimes or it was absolutely necessary.

Miyun is younger than he thought.

of course.

This answer is not the truth.

"Thank you, you didn't tell the truth."

Miyun looked up at the heart-pounding sword edge and forced out a smile with complicated meanings.

"You didn't strike with this sword because you recognized me."

"You saved me once in Southern Xinjiang."

"Now, we meet again."

The little monk's voice echoed in the Shattered Golden Sea, and the onlookers all looked bewildered.

"..."

Xie Xuanyi subconsciously reached out and touched the symbol of all living beings worn on his cheek.

Yes, what Miyun just said is the truth.

The sword energy cut through the sea of clouds, and the golden light disappeared in an instant. He saw the truth about the little monk... After the Qingzhou turmoil ended, Xie Xuanyi took Jiang Huang to the southern border to eliminate demons, killed the "Chihun Taoist" under the Yinshan White Ghost, and saved a pair of Buddhist master and apprentice.

At that time, the little monk was so frightened that he fell down in the rain.

It is Miyun who is in charge of the Golden Sea Formation at this moment.

"Did you recognize me?"

Xie Xuanyi frowned. He was wearing a bamboo hat at the time, and other than that, his features were concealed.

It was just a one-time encounter, but Miyun remembered it so clearly?

"Buddhism has the 'divine eye', even blind people can still practice." Miyun put his hands together, chanted softly, and said sincerely: "Master has long left teachings, Buddhist disciples should not only use their eyes to see people and things, but also use their hearts... I was able to recognize Mr. Xie today only because I felt the breath of 'cause and effect'."

At this moment, the little monk's expression became more relieved.

He was sitting in Qianyuan Sea today, and his mind was always uneasy.

Because he had long felt that "Xie Zhen", a person he had never met in the Da Chu Dynasty, was actually involved in his own life... This was actually a very unreasonable thing, but now everything made sense. Xie Zhen saved his life, and this cause and effect was greater than the sky.

"The aura of cause and effect?"

Xie Xuanyi looked a little strange.

The little guy in front of him has changed completely. Thinking back to the last time they met in southern Xinjiang, he didn't feel anything unusual from Miyun.

But this little monk, now sitting in Qianyuan Sea, suppressing these thousands of golden threads, did not feel any sense of incongruity.

The illusory realm of cause and effect emanated faintly from him, mysterious and profound.

Xie Xuanyi looked at him and couldn't help but feel curious... Was it because of the demon-slaying trip not long ago that Miyun had this encounter?
As soon as this idea came up.

Another rumor that was originally unrelated also emerged in Xie Xuanyi's mind.

Now, everyone in the entire Da Chu Imperial City knows that Miaozhen, the Buddhist disciple who had been in seclusion in the Fanyin Temple for a long time, deliberately went to southern Xinjiang before crossing to the west this time and killed a Yinshen Venerable... This Yinshen Venerable happened to be from Yinshan and happened to be a disciple of Baigui.

After the news came out, most people were paying attention to Miao Zhen's strength.

It is truly amazing that he can fight against the Yin God with the body of Dongtian!
But if we link this news with Miyun’s death in southern Xinjiang, we will get some new clues.

The reason why Miao Zhen went to Southern Xinjiang to fight the demons was clearly to vent his anger for this little nephew!

"Sure enough... the instructions of cause and effect all make sense."

The little fellow sighed happily, and couldn't help but said with emotion: "Today, I am sitting in Qianyuan Sea, and my uncle asked me to choose a topic for the debate... I thought about it, but I didn't know where to start. Finally, an idea flashed in my mind and I came up with this topic. I thought that after traveling thousands of miles to the west, I have never met anyone in the Great Chu Imperial City, so the people who pass the level today should not be me. As long as I choose this topic, no matter who comes, it will be difficult to pass this Qianyuan Sea."

“But now it seems that I was terribly wrong.”

Miyun put down his clasped hands, prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed.

He raised his head and said sincerely, "Thank you for being Miyun's savior. My master told me before he left that if I see you, I must kowtow three times and nine times to repay your kindness."

As soon as he finished speaking, the already broken golden sea was now surging with golden light and dissipated to both sides.

A door shining with golden light opened in front of Xie Xuanyi.

"Although it is no longer necessary, but..."

Miyun smiled and said, "My benefactor, you can now step into the Golden Body Tower."
