He became the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws starting from Liaozhai.

Xu Yi's azure sword light completely threw Pudu off balance. For some reason, he began to retreat.

It's like time has reversed?

This is swordsmanship!

Pudu finally realized it, but it was too late. He thought the Thunderfire Sword was Xu Yi's sword technique, but now how come there is another technique?

Could this be his fourth supernatural power?

This battle was not a life-or-death struggle, and Pudu did not want to reveal all his trump cards. He still had two supernatural abilities hidden, and he also had a preliminary understanding of Xu Yi.

He is definitely a cultivator with five supernatural powers, possessing two sword techniques. It seems that what he used this time was his fourth supernatural power, which can reverse time. It's truly bizarre.

In all his years of life, this was the first time he had ever seen swordsmanship that could manipulate time. It was too bizarre; it could even reverse the enemy's time, albeit locally.

This is absolutely top-notch swordsmanship, no less than any other sword technique in the world, and it could easily stand on its own.

If this swordsmanship were to spread and be learned by everyone in the world, the world would probably descend into chaos.

Pudu admitted defeat; he couldn't defend against this move at the moment, as he hadn't anticipated it.

The reversal of time finally stopped when Pudu kept chanting the words "When the Buddha's light was first released!"

The magnificent Buddha light eventually disappeared.

Pudu clasped his hands together again and chanted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, layperson, why do you keep chasing after this poor monk and killing him? Isn't there any room for reconciliation between us?"

He didn't want to fight anymore. If they continued, he might be forced to reveal all his trump cards, and then he would regret it after using these hidden supernatural powers. He would then have no more trump cards left to use, which was not what he wanted. At least in front of Xu Yi, he did not want to reveal his image as a high monk.

The image of a high monk brought him many advantages. When he wanted to get the emperor to obey, this body resembling a high monk would be very important.

"Xu Yi, what kind of swordsmanship is this?"

Pudu already had a guess in his mind, but he still couldn't quite believe that such exquisite swordsmanship could exist in this world; it was simply too unbelievable.

Xu Yi ignored Pudu, twirled his sword, slung it behind his back, and said calmly, "This is the sword of the past."

Pudu nodded solemnly, his tone respectful: "Xu Yi, I underestimated the heroes of the world."

"However, next time we meet, I will definitely take your life!"

Without waiting for Xu Yi to react, Pudu transformed into a cloud of blood mist and vanished instantly. A streak of blood-red light shot towards the city, a speed that even Xu Yi couldn't detect—it was simply too fast.

"What incredible speed!" Xu Yi exclaimed in admiration. It was astonishingly fast, and even the current "Close-Up" technique might not be able to keep up with his speed.

In just a few breaths, Xu Yi also used his supernatural powers to head towards the city. He wanted to try to catch up with Pudu, as he hadn't yet rescued his own disciple.

However, just as he landed, Xu Yi saw a streak of blood-red light carrying something flying toward the horizon.

Xu Yi shook his head. He could sense Li Jiangyuan's presence. He was still in the city. Pudu was probably afraid that Xu Yi would pursue him relentlessly, which was why he made this choice.

Indeed, if Pudu hadn't left Li Jiangyuan here, Xu Yi would definitely have kept chasing after this blood mist.

Based on their previous exchange, Xu Yi realized that Pudu didn't possess any movement techniques or supernatural abilities, making it impossible for him to have such speed in an instant.

This must have involved some kind of forbidden technique, and it might have required a great price to achieve such an effect, but that's no longer important at this point.

Following the scent of the jade pendant, Xu Yi quickly found Li Jiangyuan, who was hidden in the City God Temple. The child had already fainted and needed treatment. Moreover, Xu Yi also noticed that a kind of toxin seemed to have been left in the child's Niwan Palace.

He only realized this by relying on his divine soul power. It seems that Pudu has made a foolproof plan to hold him back. Sure enough, the forbidden technique has a time limit.

If I encounter Pudu again, I will definitely kill him.

Xu Yi shook his head. He called over the old ox and placed Li Jiangyuan on its back. He then sat backwards in the last small spot. He decided to return to Xiaochongshan first, as there were too many people there and many things were inconvenient to reveal.

With that thought in mind, the old ox carried him onto the main street, which had become almost silent.

The streets were filled with listless, lifeless people, like walking corpses. Xu Yi noticed that each of these people had a Sanskrit inscription between their eyebrows, which was manipulating their minds.

This trapped them in a space, which is known as an illusion.

"Is this how you became a true immortal? Universal salvation." Xu Yi squinted. He already knew many secrets. The Azure Netherworld Ancestor hadn't kept many things from him.

"You need so many people to forge your path to true immortality, I really don't know what those people are thinking."

"Does that mean mortals aren't human?"

"What kind of world is this?"

Xu Yi sighed helplessly, and only stopped when the old ox carried him to the city gate.

A red light flashed in Xu Yi's palm. He tossed it into the air towards Fangyuan City. It contained his pure divine soul power, which could restore everyone's consciousness.

He didn't want to care about what happened after he regained his senses.

Soon, the two men and the ox left the city at a speed of several hundred meters per breath.

......

In the depths of Xiaochongshan, Zhang Zhengyi was nurturing Liang Jing's primordial spirit.

He seemed to sense something, unfolding a cloud mirror. He looked in the direction he felt the presence of, and sure enough, someone had arrived—and it was Mr. Xu!

After advancing to the next level of divine power, Xu Yi's figure, which was previously undetectable, can now be detected.

Little did Zhang Zhengyi know that Xu Yi had deliberately revealed himself to give him enough confidence.

He had never begun cultivating at the level of supernatural powers and was unaware of the hardships of the path to supernatural powers.

Moreover, he couldn't offer much advice on this point, so he could only try to boost the boy's confidence.

Zhang Zheng put Liang Jing's primordial spirit into his sleeve and nurtured it with the power of his own incense. He then turned into a wisp of smoke and came to the old ox.

He greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Xu, you're back."

Then he saw Li Jiangyuan on the ox's back and was overjoyed. It seemed that the matter in the city was over and that the gentleman had won.

"Hmm, Jiang Yuan has been poisoned. Do you know if there's any way to cure her?"

Xu Yi was not good at detoxification, so he could only trouble Zhang Zhengyi to take a look first. If even Zhang Zhengyi didn't know... Thinking of this, Xu Yi opened his right palm, and a relic flew out of Li Jiangyuan's pocket and came into his palm.

"If even you can't do it, then I'll have to try to forcefully awaken the Heart Mirror first."
