Chapter 179 Chiwen, Sword Immortal

Zhang Sanfeng looked at Zhou Sheng, who suddenly started singing the song of Wang Lingguan, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

His fingertips shimmered with light within his sleeve as he began to deduce the truth, only to discover that even with his level of skill, he could only arrive at a rough estimate, a vague and indistinct picture.

The only certainty is that after Zhou Sheng began singing the song of Wang Lingguan, his chances of obtaining the sword embryo increased rapidly.

"Demons who dare to defy the laws of heaven, their souls will be scattered and their spirits will be destroyed under the whip!"

As the opening poem was finished, Zhou Sheng raised his eyes and made his appearance. His third eye between his brows flowed like flames. As he made a hand seal, his fiery eye split open and actually spewed out a golden flame.

In an instant, the surrounding temperature seemed to rise rapidly, and the golden flame shone like a star in the night.

Jade Pivot Heavenly Fire!

Zhou Sheng once used this fire to repel the little devils under the feet of General Jin Jia and General Yin Suo in Lu Bingyuan's City God Temple. At that time, his cultivation was still shallow, with only a few years of experience. Now, with forty years of cultivation, the power of the heavenly fire he wields is even more astonishing.

The golden flames landed on the fishhook, coating it with a layer of flame light.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Sheng began his final fishing attempt. The fishhook, burning with golden flames, entered the water, and although a wisp of white mist rose from it, it did not go out but continued to burn quietly.

The Jade Pivot Heavenly Fire cannot be extinguished by water.

However, the fish that were visible to the naked eye immediately sensed the terrifying temperature and quickly fled from the hook.

Gollum~
As time passed, the water continued to bubble and boil.

This doesn't look like fishing, it looks like boiling fish.

However, among the fleeing fish, there was a special fish swimming upstream, deliberately breaking through the school and heading towards the hook.

The densely packed fish seemed to be terrified of it, avoiding it at all costs.

What's even stranger is that the fish didn't rush to bite the hook after it came near it. Instead, it circled around it for a while, as if it was observing it.

The golden flames continued to burn, and Zhou Sheng channeled his magic power into the flames along the fishing line to prevent them from dissipating due to insufficient magic power.

Time passed slowly, and sweat began to bead on Zhou Sheng's forehead, his eyes starting to blur.

The Jade Pivot Heavenly Fire consumes a great deal of magical power; if his cultivation hadn't greatly improved, he definitely wouldn't have been able to sustain it until now.

Even so, his magical power was almost exhausted.

The golden flames finally weakened, seemingly about to go out at any moment.

At this moment, the strange fish could no longer sit still. With lightning speed, it opened its mouth and swallowed the flames, then tried to escape.

It was a clever fish that would only eat the bait and not take the bait.

But what it didn't expect was that Zhou Sheng seemed to have anticipated this moment and was waiting for it. Without any hesitation, he suddenly pulled it up the instant it took the bait.

Whoosh!

The fish flew out of the water and transformed into a strange and ferocious beast, like a lizard with its tail cut off, with a dragon's head and a fish's body, roaring like a whale, and most strikingly, a short sword was stuck in its back.

Zhou Sheng's eyes widened in surprise; he had already recognized who it was.

Chiwen is the ninth son of the dragon!
Legend has it that the Chiwen is a descendant of a dragon and a fish, hence its other name, Fish Dragon. It can spray waves and bring rain, and it loves to swallow fire. Therefore, it is often carved on the corners, ridges, and roofs of palaces to ward off fire.

As for the short sword on its back, it is said that it was inserted by the Celestial Master Xu Xun to keep it from running around and causing a fire due to its playfulness.

So that so-called sword embryo was actually a Chiwen...

No wonder Master Zhang said that the choice of the sword master concerns the well-being of all people and is of great significance.

Roar!
Chiwen arrived here without panicking. Instead, it stepped on the water and fiercely attacked Zhou Sheng, spewing out thousands of sword energies that crashed down on him like giant waves.

The sword energy was as vast as the sea.

In an instant, Zhou Sheng felt as if he were being pointed at by countless swords, his body chilled to the bone, and his magic power almost exhausted, he was even unable to burrow underground. But he did not panic at all, instead he opened his mouth and roared, but the sound that came out was not his own voice, but the roar of Yazi, the dragon.

The Qi of Geng Metal burst forth from his body, transforming into a ferocious beast with the body of a jackal and the head of a dragon, holding a sword in its mouth.

Whoosh!

The moment Yazi appeared, the raging sword energy suddenly dissipated, and Chiwen clearly showed excitement, flying towards Yazi with its four hooves treading on the waves.

The two beasts spun and danced in the air, their cries echoing, as if they were playing around or excitedly reuniting with old friends.

After a moment, Ya Zi turned around and glanced at Zhou Sheng, his dragon roar coming out urgently, as if he was trying to persuade him.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Chiwen obediently followed Yazi to Zhou Sheng's side and carefully nuzzled him.

Yazi was the second son among the nine sons, while Chiwen was the ninth and youngest.

Even though Yazi isn't as strong now, it can still subdue the smallest Chiwen.

Zhou Sheng had just replenished some of his magical power with incense money, and his fiery eyes between his brows split open again, spewing out a stream of Jade Pivot Heavenly Fire that landed in his palm.

He reached out and fed it to the Chiwen, which seemed very happy, opening its mouth and swallowing it, a hint of human enjoyment in its eyes.

It was as if the heavenly fire, capable of burning away evil spirits, was the most delicious food.

It wasn't satisfied after finishing its meal, as if it wanted to eat more. But Yazi let out a dragon's roar and then nudged its rear with its head, as if urging it on.

Left with no other choice, Chiwen could only escape into Zhou Sheng's body.

In an instant, streams of cool water rushed into his limbs and bones, and Zhou Sheng felt as if he had become a vast ocean, with water from all corners of the world rushing to him.

Even more deadly is that these water streams also contain an extremely sharp sword aura.

His body suddenly split open, and blood gushed out. Fortunately, as the Yazi entered his body, it finally suppressed the terrifying sword energy.

Zhou Sheng finally saw the "sword embryo" clearly.

To be precise, it wasn't a real sword, but rather an invisible sword light that just happened to be attached to the short sword on the back of the dragon-like creature.

As the Chiwen recognized its master, the sword light was also forced out and entered Zhou Sheng's body, where it was swallowed whole by Yazi.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Sheng let out a long roar, and a dazzling sword light flew out of his mouth, as fast as lightning, circling the trees a hundred feet away.

Boom!

The tree, which took three people to encircle, collapsed with a crash, having been cut in half at the waist with an unusually smooth cut.

The sword light had already flown back, circled around Zhou Sheng several times, and was then swallowed by him.

"A fine sword!"

Zhou Sheng couldn't help but sigh, when suddenly he heard Zhang Sanfeng's voice.

“A thousand years ago, when Lü Zu was practicing swordsmanship in the Immortal Cave, he had an epiphany. At that moment, the moon shone on the stone wall, reflecting a sword light that lingered for a long time.”

Zhang Sanfeng sighed, "This sword light gained a trace of pure Yang sword intent and actually developed spirituality. It took hundreds of years of cultivation to break through the barrier. By chance, it was obtained by this Chiwen. You got a bargain."

Even Zhang Sanfeng, who had survived eight tribulations, had to marvel at the profound fortune of Zhou Sheng.

"If you didn't have Yazi, even if you obtained this sword embryo, you would be pierced through the heart by the sword energy and die. After all, you are not the indestructible stone monkey. But coincidentally, you happen to have Yazi, which can suppress all the divine weapons in the world."

Every drink and every bite is a creation of nature.

"When you cultivate this sword light to its full potential, it will be the day the sword embryo is completed. At that time, it would not be an exaggeration to call you a disciple of Chunyang and a successor of the sword immortal."
