Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 299 There are no weak soldiers within the Sword Sect

Jing Qian, using his status as the Lord of Sumeru, connected with the Pure Yang Grotto-Heaven and sent a unique spatial miracle to the Pure Yang Disciples.

Those who wish to participate in the World's Number One Swordsmanship Tournament, like the other Xuanyuanzi, do not need to endure the hardships of long journeys.

With the help of Jing Qian's spatial magic, one can directly descend here through the [Sumeru] dimension.

At this very moment, Jing Qian has laid out his battlefield and set up his trappings on the ruins of the [Million Palace], waiting for his distinguished guest to arrive.

The preliminary rounds of the "Pure Yang Heaven" tournament are about to truly begin!

As the last person in the entire Pure Yang Heaven to enter the Sequence of Time, Pure Yangzi was the one who entered the Sequence of Time the latest.

He has the shortest time in the Taoist community and the lowest seniority; looking up, all his ancestors are ancestors.

Everyone else is a veteran Star Glory player, but he's still stuck at Silver III.

But for some reason, he felt no respect or fear whatsoever.

He only wanted to draw his sword and take action, to knock all these old men off their horses.

Sword Heart and Sword Path, truly an evil law, actually corrupted this good young man who knew the Eight Honors and Eight Shames well into a bloodthirsty demon lord!
He has already secured his rank and is waiting for his spot. He is determined to achieve an epic winning streak in Silver III, defeat his opponents, and claim the top spot in the [Pure Yang Heaven] rank!
The [Sumeru] dimension flickered, and the first impatient [Chunyangzi] descended upon this place!

The visitor was an old acquaintance of Jingqian, who could be considered the most trusted of the patriarchs, [Zhuyun].

Jing Qian had received a great favor from the other party, but he was also a crucial turning point in Zhu Yun's transformation and advancement.

The dramatic change within the Great Black Heaven was the key to the ultimate rebound of the Pure Yang Heaven!
It is also the most profound memory for Jingqian and [Zhuyun] on their journey.

Now that the two have met again after hundreds of years, they have a feeling that is hard to describe.

Then, [Zhu Yun] laughed loudly and said:
"Chixiao brat, though young, is quite capable, and his audacity knows no bounds!"

"They dared to make such a major decision about the Pure Yang Heaven without even consulting us, and rashly started a war with the Xuanyuan Sword Sect."

"Do you know you were wrong?"

Jing Qianwen laughed heartily, twirling his Pangu Abyss Sword, its tip pointing directly at Zhu Yun, and replied:
"Master Zhu, if you're scared, go and rest over there. Watch how your disciple crushes that scoundrel [Xuanyuan]."

“It just so happens that my Pure Yang Heaven has a vacancy for cheerleader, and I think you, Master Zhu, would be quite suitable.”

[Zhu Yun] was not annoyed by these words, and laughed heartily as she continued:
"Don't provoke me. I know you have had great opportunities, your body is full of calamity energy, and your cultivation is progressing rapidly."

"But I haven't been doing this for nothing all these years!"

"I'll teach you a lesson so you can wake up and learn to respect your predecessors and ancestors!"

Having said that, Zhu Yun unleashed his power, and his entire body burst forth like a beam of green light.

Jing Qian gazed expectantly in the direction from which [Bamboo Cloud] was rushing.

The first round of the internal war within the Pure Yang Heaven was initiated by him and Zhu Yun!
With a surge of his Dao power, an extremely powerful magical force rolled out from his body.

A [Slaying Immortal Sword Formation] was set up around his body.

The area covered by this sword formation was like a blood-red cloud pressing down on the city, drawing out a rather vast battlefield.

Jing Qian's figure was hidden within this sword formation, nowhere to be found.

The boundless sword light of immortality transformed from [Bamboo Cloud] converged into a gigantic azure dragon, which swept in wildly and devoured the entire [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] in one gulp.

The boundless sword light, like the rising tide of a blue sea, instantly engulfed that blood-red sword domain.

The Azure Dragon roared, emitting a magnificent Daoist sound that evoked the growth, decay, and rebirth of countless plants.

【Zhu Yun】's Longevity Sword Dao has reached a state of perfection. Wherever the sword light passes, there is an endless power of "life" crushing everything in its path.

He intended to use his overwhelming vitality to break through and disintegrate the sword formation that controlled the killing before him.

Within the sword formation, Jing Qian felt immense pressure from all around him, like mountains and seas. The endless azure sword intent, like the roots of an ancient forest, permeated and entangled him relentlessly, trying to assimilate him and the fierce formation beneath his feet into a green jade sculpture, forever imprisoning him within the life force.

"Excellent! What a fine Longevity Sword! Master Zhu, you really aren't the worst bastard in my Pure Yang Heaven!"

Jing Qian's voice came from the core of the sword formation, and instead of being surprised, it was filled with a sense of exhilarating pleasure.

With a thought, the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] underwent a sudden and dramatic change!
What was originally just a pervasive crimson aura suddenly contracted inward and then exploded, transforming into four ancient sword gates that stood tall and imposing!

Slaying immortals brings profit, killing immortals brings death, the transformations of immortals are infinitely wondrous, and trapping immortals causes red light to rise everywhere!
The four sword phantoms floated above the four gates. The fierce killing aura was no longer spreading aimlessly, but condensed into a tangible dark red ribbon, dancing wildly against the current in the Azure Dragon's turbulent blue waves.

Life and death collide and annihilate each other in a frenzy.

Inside the Azure Dragon's body, it seemed as if billions of tiny, blood-red stars were exploding.

Each explosion takes away a piece of dragon blood and flesh with a bluish-green luster.

Looking only at the direct battlefield, the power and wonder of the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] are undoubtedly superior in every aspect.

Jing Qian did not use any of his other Daoist techniques, but relied solely on the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation to fight against Zhu Yun's Longevity Sword.

Such a clash of swordsmanship levels is truly rare!

The Longevity Sword Dao of 【Bamboo Cloud】 embodies life within death, using life to overcome death; it is a grand and majestic path.

Jing Qian's [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] is an ultimate spatial killing sword, possessing both spatial and the divine power of many ultimate Daos, capable of destroying all laws and severing all life cycles.

The two sword intents are completely incompatible, and this collision is a true contest of the essence of power!

Jing Qian possesses extremely strong [Primordial Power] cultivation, far surpassing ordinary [Time Sequence].

But to his surprise, [Zhu Yun] in front of him was in no way inferior to him in terms of [Dao Power] cultivation!

My ancestor must have cultivated a powerful Dao technique that can also increase Dao power!
In his perception, no matter how much killing power the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] unleashed, or how much damage it inflicted on the Azure Dragon in front of him, the dragon was always able to recover completely thanks to its powerful vitality.

[Zhu Yun]'s figure suddenly appeared at the head of the Azure Dragon, looking down at Jing Qian within the blood-red sword formation, and spoke:
“Chixiao, your sword formation has an unusual foundation. In terms of killing, it is unmatched.”

"However, my life force is inexhaustible, and the source of my Dao power is beyond your imagination."

"Now that you've fallen into my [Eternal Life Dragon-Slaying Root Formation], if you don't show some real skill, I'll look down on you!"

As a fellow sword cultivator, [Zhu Yun] knows best how to deal with his fellow cultivators.

These ruthless and lightning-fast killers prefer to go straight for the kill and confront each other head-on.

This great formation can be described as the ultimate in grinding and confinement.

It can be said to be designed specifically for sword cultivators!
At this moment, it had a surprising effect, suppressing the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] for a time!
Under Jing Qian's efforts, the Pure Yang Heaven has gathered the six great inheritances: sword box, sword pellet, sword light, sword body, sword formation, and sword heart.

All the Pure Yang Masters had already cultivated several other disciplines according to their own needs.

In addition to the Pure Yang Sword Box, Zhu Yun also cultivated the Heaven-Reaching Sword Formation and the Longevity Sword Body.

By combining the three major traditions, a unique [Taoist Method] has been created.

They demonstrated a level of combat power far exceeding Jing Qian's expectations.

Just this one [Eternal Life and Dragon Extinction Root Array] is enough to take on the eight [Time Order] Great Demons of the [Million Palace Universe] single-handedly!
The Azure Dragon roared, and the emerald light surged like a tide, enveloping the blood-red sword formation layer by layer.

【Bamboo Cloud】Stands atop the dragon's head, its whiskers and hair bristling, its boundless vitality transforming into countless whiskers that bind all directions.

Jing Qian laughed heartily from within the formation: "Master Zhu, what skill you've got! This time, you'll surely be able to defeat that Wu Changsheng!"

Before he finished speaking, his aura suddenly changed.

The originally extremely lethal [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] actually breathed and contracted like a living thing. The four sword gates suddenly reversed, no longer spewing out baleful energy, but turning into four sword lights that wrapped around the [Pangu Great Abyss Sword] in his hand!
Currently, all four of his [Sword Pills] are buried in the [Sumeru] dimension to nurture [Innate Spiritual Treasures].

This [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] is just an empty shell; it can't unleash its true power at all!
Jing Qian then changed his fighting style, using his superior cultivation to condense the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] onto the [Great Abyss Sword].

The combined power of these two elements creates a sword light that can be considered his strongest sword.

The next second, his figure disappeared from the sword formation, and when he reappeared, he had already flashed onto the dragon's head.

His sword flashed like a dragon, transforming into a gray line as he slashed towards [Bamboo Cloud].

But his own ancestor neither dodged nor evaded, allowing Jing Qian to behead him with a single sword strike.

【Bamboo Cloud】 Its head flew like a ball, yet it continued to chatter in mid-air:

"What a sword!"

"Even if this sword strikes a hundred times, I still won't be able to dodge it!"

He seems to genuinely express his approval!
But even though he was cut down by a sword, he did not die.

His physical body transformed into a beam of green light, which converged into a vast life force.

After merging into the Azure Dragon's body, it was reborn.

After its resurrection, [Bamboo Cloud] once again unleashed boundless longevity sword light, sweeping towards Jing Qian.

But that kid on the other side just vanished with a flash!

The systems of Jingqian and [Zhuyun] can be considered the two extremes of swordsmen.

On one hand, there is extreme killing and spatial leaping; if one strike misses, one can flee thousands of miles away, seeking an opening to strike again, and every sword strike will be a matter of life and death.

On the other hand, there is both boundless vitality and constraint. No matter how you change, I remain unmoved, using endless life to wear down all sharpness.

After the first two rounds of combat between the two, the battlefield situation has become extremely unpredictable.

The emerald green realm of immortality spread like a living thing, with vines and roots growing wildly wherever it passed, trying to capture the gray sword light.

Jing Qian's figure flickered like a ghost within the realm of immortality. Each appearance was accompanied by a gray line tearing through space, forcibly severing and annihilating the burgeoning life force.

He cut quickly, and [Bamboo Cloud] recovered even faster!

A realization dawned on Jing Qian's mind!
There are no weak soldiers within the Sword Sect!
No matter which swordsman it is, anyone who has worked their way up to the top of the cultivation path is an extremely difficult enemy to deal with.

After all, we all fought our way up!
There will absolutely not be a big slacker like the one in [Million Palace] [Time Sequence].

The difficulty of climbing from Silver III to Star Master in solo ranked matches is greater than he imagined.

However, it is precisely powerful sword cultivators like Chunyangzi and Xuanyuanzi who can be considered truly worthy opponents.

He only needs to play two high-quality games to pass the placement matches.

We can definitely look forward to it!

Having considered this, he completely let go of all his burdens and threw himself into the battle.

【Bamboo Cloud】is indeed not weak; it can be called the strongest 【Time Sequence】that Jingqian has encountered so far!
But Jingqian hasn't really exerted his full strength yet, so there's no possibility that he'll lose!
The next second, Jing Qian took out his [Six Paths of Reincarnation Sword Pill].

The six realms of reincarnation also branched out after him.

He tossed the [Divine Machine] into the air, and the power of the six [Chronology] avatars instantly amplified the [Sword Pellet].

The Six Paths Reincarnation Sword Pill instantly transformed into a black light and entered the Azure Dragon's body.

At the same time, the six avatars formed a large array, which collided with [Bamboo Cloud]'s Longevity Sword Array.

Facing death with life, they are a perfect match!
A powerful devouring force erupted from the [Six Paths Reincarnation Sword Pill], gulping down the life essence within the Azure Dragon's body.

Jingqian's demand for resources is endless, far exceeding the imagination of other [time series].

He can absorb any amount of Dao power that [Zhu Yun] possesses!
Meanwhile, his main body wasn't idle either. He picked up the Pangu Abyss Sword and plunged into the Azure Dragon's body.

His brow pierced by the [Hongjun Furnace], which opened wide, frantically devouring the flesh and blood of the Azure Dragon to replenish his divine fire.

He couldn't believe it either; that [Bamboo Cloud] really had an inexhaustible source of energy, enough to feed a glutton like him.

He has already identified the weaknesses in the [Bamboo Cloud] system.

This extreme attrition and confinement, though troublesome, also caused [Bamboo Cloud] to fall into a lower tier above the offensive limit.

With Jing Qian's three top-tier defensive techniques: the Hongjun Furnace, the Wushi Stele, and the Pangu Body.

Add [Sumeru] blinking and [Time Sequence Refresh].

[Zhu Yun] couldn't kill him at all.

"Good lad! He actually has such skills!"

The Azure Dragon let out a long roar, its massive body suddenly tumbling as it tried to expel the troublesome sword pellet from its body.

The boundless vitality transformed into countless emerald green chains, strangling inward.

However, these emerald chains were completely unable to withstand the attacks of the Pangu Abyss Sword. Even if they managed to pass through the sword light and pierce Jing Qian, they were utterly useless, at most producing a few drops of Sumeru True Water.

Jing Qian defined the [Bamboo Cloud] system as follows: this method is invincible in group attacks and crushing novices, but it is not enough to dominate among sword cultivators of the same generation.

The Patriarch of Bamboo Cloud still has to sit at the children's table with Wu Changsheng!

He stood firmly in an invincible position, several divine powers arising together, frantically devouring the Azure Dragon's flesh.

This is greatly depleting the reserves and resources of [Bamboo Cloud].

However, Jingqian also inexplicably discovered that his ancestor's family background was far too rich.

The primordial energy and magical power it controls are almost on par with the [Sumeru] dimension!

He carefully investigated the nature of the other party's supernatural power, and after much deliberation, he finally discovered that this [Bamboo Cloud] had somehow managed to embark on a path similar to that of the [Silk Pulling] God.

Behind this azure dragon lies the foundation of the Great Dao, condensed by [Zhu Yun] using [Divine Strategies], [Sage Bones], and his entire cultivation.

Its lower body is not a dragon's body, but a bamboo root.

The giant bamboo radiates out countless fine roots that penetrate deep into the void.

Each root system is firmly planted in the core of the origin of a realm.

Regardless of the size of the domain or the concentration of vital energy.

【Bamboo Cloud】is like a goose plucking feathers as it passes by, using bamboo roots to string together all the realms it can encounter.

All realms became tools for him to draw upon vital energy and restore his Dao power.

This gave him an inexhaustible source of magical power!

No wonder Jing Qian couldn't seem to reach the bottom no matter how much he sucked.

With just a cursory glance, he discovered that these bamboo roots contained at least a thousand great suns.

He had reason to believe that the roots of these [Bamboo Clouds] might have already penetrated deep into the [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi] through many realms.

Just as he was about to further study the supernatural power of [Bamboo Cloud], a vibrant blue light flashed.

Jing Qian hadn't even had his fill yet when [Zhu Yun] suddenly withdrew his supernatural powers!
The other party then spoke, saying to him:

"I wasn't wrong, you really are something!"

"I admit defeat this time. I don't have enough money to feed you properly."

【Zhu Yun】also admitted defeat quite decisively, which was quite carefree.

Chi Xiao has figured out a way to counter him, so there is no need to continue the fight.

Jing Qian finally achieved a resounding victory, securing the first win in the internal war of [Chunyang Tian].

Before he could even catch his breath, a blazing sun descended from the sky and enveloped him.

[Yuanyang] That fellow has arrived sometime ago!
He hid to the side and watched the entire battle between Chixiao and Zhuyun, and his hands were itching to join in.

Now that the outcome of the battle was decided, he eagerly joined in, pulling the victor, Chixiao, into another match.

Jing Qian had just emerged from the supernatural power of [Bamboo Cloud] and looked up at the terrifying sun high in the sky.

This sun was formed from the sword light of [Primordial Yang], yet it was incredibly powerful, giving him an extreme sense of danger.

Unlike the ever-renewing and subtle yet deadly nature of [Bamboo Cloud], the sword intent of [Primordial Yang] is pure, explosive, and crushing!
Like the first ray of light at the beginning of the universe, it carries the ultimate passion and domineering power to burn everything and purify all things.

"Chixiao brat! Stop breathing! Take this sword strike!"

The sound of 【Yuan Yang】, like a resounding bell, echoed from the blazing sun.

He had no patience for learning [Bamboo Cloud], with its array formations, dragon transformations, and swordplay.

He incorporated all his offensives into this sun.

The battle of Yuanyang was decided in a mere instant.

If Jing Qian could withstand it, he would immediately admit defeat on the spot and watch Jing Qian ascend to the gold.

If Jing Qian can't handle it, then he can't be blamed!
That terrifying sun, purely condensed from sword intent and Dao power, crashed down like the collapse of the sky, directly striking Jing Qian, who had just finished the battle.

The sudden attack did not put Jing Qian under any pressure.

Having just experienced a fierce battle with [Bamboo Cloud], he was well-fed and his entire body was brimming with [Dao Power], with nowhere to release it.

Now that the great sun of Yuan Yang has come crashing down, it's exactly what Jing Qian wanted!

If it were a method as subtle and persistent as [Zhu Yun]'s, he would be more cautious.

But he is least worried about a head-on attack like that of [Yuan Yang].

He frantically squeezed out his own primordial power, unleashing the full potential of his various Daoist techniques.

Immediately, he picked up the Pangu Great Abyss Sword and swung it at Yuan Yang.

He didn't even try to dodge; he was determined to confront them head-on!

Jing Qian gripped the Pangu Great Abyss Sword tightly with both hands. The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation did not dissipate, and an extreme killing aura appeared on the sword.

"Open it for me!"

He charged forward, no longer displaying refined swordsmanship, but unleashing all the power in his body, along with the "accumulation" he had just gained from overeating, in the most violent way, without reservation!

With a single slash, the longsword in his hand, like a giant axe that split the primordial chaos, fiercely struck at the falling sun!
"boom!"

This clash was far more intense than the previous battle with [Bamboo Cloud]!

Extreme light and heat collide, annihilate, and explode with chaotic sword energy!
A terrifying energy shockwave spread out in a circular pattern, sweeping away another thick layer from the already flattened ruins of the Million Palace, even shaking and shifting distant stars!

The blazing sun was violently shaken by Jing Qian's unreasonable sword strike, its downward momentum suddenly slowed, and numerous cracks even appeared on its surface.

"what?!"

A startled voice came from the midst of the sun.

He felt his pure Yang sword intent being interfered with by a Dao force that was of the same origin but distorted, and was forcibly broken by a tyrannical killing force.
