Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 378 Brawl
Below, Yi Dong only realized what was happening after Zijin Mountain was cut in two.

However, seeing that the Void Sword's divine power had already enveloped him and the Floating Pagoda outside the courtyard had also emitted light, he wasn't too worried. Even if he couldn't react in time, the True Spirit Sword and the Causal Puppet had already prepared for the situation. Under their protection, he probably wouldn't be in any danger.

Looking at the battle above, Yi Dong finally realized how weak he was, and at the same time became even more certain of the correctness of his decision not to leave the mountain. Well, it's best not to leave Zijin Mountain until he feels relatively safe.

The battle above seemed to be distorted by time, making it impossible for Yi Dong to understand.

Moreover, the sword light of the two True Spirit Longswords was significantly stronger than that of the previous twelve sets of True Spirit Longswords.

Not only are they strong in offensive and defensive combat, but they are also strong in supernatural abilities.

It's not that the Great Dao of Time surpasses other Great Daos of Heaven and Earth, but rather that the Xuanyuan Sword and the Emperor Sword's mastery of the Great Dao of Time is significantly stronger than that of other True Spirit Swords.

The sword light of the Xuanyuan Sword always appears and disappears, only to reappear for a moment after striking the target. This process is so complex that even the formation of Zijin Mountain cannot analyze it.

The sword light of the Emperor's Sword was even more exaggerated. He could clearly see it, but he was completely unaware of what was happening until the sword light struck down Purple Gold Mountain.

It was as if his vision and mind had been momentarily disconnected. During the time between the appearance of the golden sword light and its slash into the earth, he could only watch and could not react in any way.

"Is this the power of the future sword light?"

Yi Dong and Yi Jun had talked. According to Yi Jun, unless one possesses supernatural powers or spells related to time, foresight, or space, or related magical treasures, it is impossible to avoid the future sword light that cuts from the future to the present.

Moreover, the future sword light possesses an indestructible and powerful physical attack force.

Of course, this is a being that has not yet grasped the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Once a being reaches the sixth rank and begins to comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, it will be able to sense the operation of Heaven and Earth and will have many ways to deal with the future sword light.

Among ancient cultivators, the Great Dao of Time may be considered very lofty and profound. However, within the Immortal Kingdom, the majority of Immortal Emperors cultivate the Earth attribute, and the Great Dao of Earth is only one of the Five Elements Great Daos. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is no distinction of superiority or inferiority between the Great Daos of Heaven and Earth.

"However, the Spirit Slaughtering Sword is a supreme treasure after all, and its quality is no worse than that of an innate spiritual treasure. Yi Jun said that even the Emperor Sword could not cut an innate spiritual treasure in one stroke, so how could the Spirit Slaughtering Sword break so easily?"

Just as Yi Dong was thinking this, the broken part of the Spirit Slaughtering Sword in the sky changed. Countless blood threads emerged from the broken part, and those blood threads quickly turned into huge vines.

On the vines, countless bloody hands and tiny blood-red eyes made Yi Dong think he was seeing the Yellow Heaven Immortal Vine.

However, the eyes of the Yellow Heaven Immortal Vine were all enormous, like fruits. The eyes on the blood vines created by the Spirit Slaughtering Sword were densely packed like scales, which was extremely terrifying.

The next moment, one after another, physical spirit swords were caught by the bloody hands on the vines, and then they unleashed a sky full of blood-red sword light wheels.

Each sword wheel was a sword formation, and the layers upon layers of red sword formations blocked out the sky.

The Xuanyuan Sword and the Emperor Sword, which had just displayed its divine power, were completely submerged in the crimson light.

In the sky, the Xuanyuan Sword and the Emperor Sword were surrounded by countless sword lights, which would be annihilated the moment they appeared.

At this moment, the spirit of the Emperor's Sword transmitted its voice:
"Didn't you say that this treasure has no way to restrain me?"
My attacks have all been blocked.

"I was mistaken. This treasure not only possesses some of my characteristics, but also those of Zhanlu and Chixiao."

When Yi Dong refined us into his natal artifacts, his blood flowed into our swords, giving us some of his abilities, and some of our traits also flowed into Yi Dong's body.

I used to think that Yi Dong was just unlucky and couldn't inherit our abilities.

It now seems that all our traits have been stolen from Yi Dong by the Yellow Heavenly Vine.

Although its abilities are not perfect, this treasure possesses the characteristics of our Thirteen True Spirit Longswords. You and I are twins. After it received your sword strike, based on my past sword and soul slash, it may have already deduced how to deal with the future sword and your sharp physical slash.

Those bloodshot eyes on the vines should possess the characteristics of the Void and the Shadow, making them a kind of alternative kind of Eyes of Truth.

With so many eyes of truth watching, all our actions will be exposed, and the past and future are within its calculations.

We have no way to defeat this treasure.

"No, it's not that there's really no way."

"By simultaneously unleashing our supernatural powers and fusing them together, we can manipulate the flow of time and even cleave through the void."

The spirit of the Xuanyuan Sword would naturally disagree; this was just a competition, not a life-or-death situation.

The Emperor Sword continued:

"Even if we wanted to stop, do you think that precious longsword has any intention of stopping?"

"Don't think I don't know what you're planning. If we merge, it's one thing if the true spirit consciousness revives, but we'll all be finished together."

If the true spirit consciousness does not revive, the new sword spirit after fusion will inevitably be dominated by you, or even you will directly devour my spiritual consciousness.

Moreover, the true spirits that give birth to us are immortal only because of the Great Dao of Time, unlike the twelve true spirits that gave birth to the Dragon Spring Sword, which possess an immortality that cannot be killed by any laws in the world or even by calamities in the void.

There is a difference between longevity and immortality.

Therefore, the chances of a true spirit's consciousness reviving are very small; the likely outcome of the fusion is that you will devour me.

"We are one, so what's wrong with integration?"
Even if we evolve into supreme treasures now, our power won't increase much, just like the sixth to seventh rank of a living being, where the increase in strength isn't significant.

"We already find it difficult to kill a true spirit. If we merge, even the strongest true spirit king in the world might be killed by us. In that case, we would directly possess the strongest power in the world."

Xuanyuan Sword, however, was impatient. "I can't defeat the supreme sword in front of me right now, but it would be easy for me to escape. Why should I merge with you?"

Of course, you can try to forcibly merge with me. If you can, I have nothing more to say.

You don't think I can't do it, do you?

"I don't think you can do it."

Unbeknownst to them, the Xuanyuan Sword and the Emperor Sword no longer fought together against the Spirit Slaughtering Sword. Instead, tensions began to rise between them, and it felt like war was about to break out.

Then, the two sword spirits communicated telepathically for a while before starting their battle.

In the sky, the three longswords began to fight each other.

To be precise, the Xuanyuan Sword and the Emperor Sword each split off a portion of their sword light to counter the attack of the Spirit Slaughtering Sword, while most of their power was poured onto each other.

In the midst of the chaotic battle, swords flashed wildly.

Previously, the golden sword energy had shattered the great formation of Purple Gold Mountain. Most of the formation components were destroyed, and the formation's power was incomplete, making it unable to stop the randomly flying sword light.

Yi Dong was also quite helpless when he saw this situation.

Fortunately, since starting the mining business, Yi Dong has basically given up planting spiritual plants. The spiritual plants that used to be in Zijin Mountain have been mostly divided up by Mu Mu and Dongfang Hong, so there are no valuable spiritual plants in Zijin Mountain.

The destruction of Purple Mountain only resulted in the loss of some experimental sites, a large amount of experimental data, and various spiritual materials.

However, Yi Dong's own "temple of thought" is able to preserve information, and all experimental data is preserved.

As for spiritual materials, he has no shortage of them.

Suddenly, Yi Dong thought of something and used his divine sense to probe into the belly of Zijin Mountain through the array.

It was discovered that a corner of the Kunshan Seal, which was originally part of the fusion origin stone core, had been cut open.

Upon discovering this scene through his divine sense, Yi Dong found it hard to believe.

The Kunshan Seal itself possesses the power to suppress space, and is also imbued with infinite gravity, making it incredibly sturdy. In addition, the Origin Stone Heart can suppress the earth's veins, making it a material even more sturdy than the body of a true spirit.

How could these two combined be cut apart by the golden sword light?
"Wait a minute, wasn't the Kunshan Seal shaped like a seal before? How come it's turned into a golden seal now?"

Could the golden sword on the yellow dragon holding a sword statue on the seal be the power of the Emperor's sword?
Previously, the Kunshan Seal and the Origin Stone Heart had been in a state of fusion. Could it be that the two forces were too strong, causing a repulsion, which is why the final step could not be completed?

"Was it only after a corner of it was sliced ​​off by the golden sword energy, losing some of its power, and then absorbing some of the Emperor Sword's power that the fusion was truly complete?"

Yi Dong couldn't help but start making connections.

Once the Qingzhou Grand Formation is completed, I will also ascend to the position of Immortal Emperor.

Of course, his title of Immortal Emperor was essentially self-proclaimed, and he was not the same as the Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Kingdom who could cultivate and be empowered by the eight hundred states of the Immortal Kingdom.

But now, even seals have appeared.

Yi Dong heard that every Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Kingdom possesses an Immortal Emperor Seal, an Immortal Emperor Sword, and an Immortal Emperor Banner.

A seal can stabilize the nation's destiny, a sword can bring peace to the world, and a banner can soothe all living beings.

Could it be that the Kunshan Seal is about to become his own Celestial Emperor Seal?
Thinking of this, Yi Dong felt somewhat pleased.

Although Qingzhou Immortal Kingdom is thousands of times inferior to Tiandu Spirit Realm Immortal Kingdom, one must still have dreams.

Who can say that in the future, their Qingzhou Immortal Kingdom will not be able to destroy the Tiandu Spirit Realm Immortal Kingdom and thus become the only immortal kingdom in the void?
Well, if possible, Yi Dong secretly wanted to wipe out all the cultivators in the Heavenly Capital Immortal Kingdom, destroy the Immortal Kingdom, and become the Eternal Immortal Emperor himself.

After all, his departure from the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm was always inextricably linked to the Immortal Kingdom.

Just then, a torrent of sword energy was intercepted by the Twelve True Spirit Longswords above him, bringing Yi Dong back to his senses.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Zijin Mountain had been destroyed once again. Not only Zijin Mountain, but even the surrounding Thirteen Sword Peaks had collapsed.

The destruction of Zijin Mountain is nothing special; after all, this isn't the first time Zijin Mountain has been destroyed.

However, if the battle expands and the Nine Heavens Ice Peak is destroyed, that would be troublesome.

Nine Heavens Ice Peak is the core of the Frozen Continent. If Nine Heavens Ice Peak is destroyed, the other beings of the Vast Sea Spirit Realm will be able to unleash their full power on the Frozen Continent. When the Four Seas Dragon Palace invades, Yi Dong will have no choice but to flee.

"We can't keep fighting like this."

Instantly, Yi Dong sent a telepathic message to Xuanyuan Sword, asking it to return, and at the same time, he also sent a telepathic message to Yi Jun and Yi Qing.

Originally, the two were not far away, but now the surrounding area was filled with sword energy, and the sound could not be heard. Only telepathy could be used.

Yi Qing felt helpless upon hearing Yi Dong's telepathic message. The number of sword spirits on the Spirit Slaughtering Sword was constantly increasing, meaning that she would have no chance of fully mastering the sword until the number of sword spirits reached its limit.

At this moment, Yi Qing also gave Tu Lingjian a perfunctory signal to stop the fight, but she was not sure whether Tu Lingjian would listen.
