The eunuch in the cold palace: You get the Nine Yang Divine Skill right from the start!

"What do you mean?"

Shen Mo frowned; it seemed they weren't referring to becoming the emperor.

Chosen by Heaven? The One and Only?

Just as he was wondering, a silver rainbow streaked across the distant horizon, revealing an old man with an air of otherworldly grace standing atop a silver sword.

Shen Mo was suddenly shocked. It turned out that he was not the first person in the world to break through.

Who are you?

"Are you asking about my name in this life? In this life, I am called Chen Zi'ang, and the world calls me—the Sword Immortal."

Chen Zi'ang answered calmly.

Shen Mo looked horrified. He had never been to Sword City before. So this was the Sword Immortal of Sword City. But he had never heard of the Sword Immortal having the supernatural power of flying on a sword.

This shows that this person has been hiding their true abilities!

As for this so-called next life, could it be that this person has already mastered the secret of reincarnation?

Chen Zi'ang seemed to see through his thoughts and said with a faint smile: "That's right. I have cultivated a secret technique that can control reincarnation. By some twist of fate, I was reincarnated into this world, but I found that the spiritual energy of this world has not yet recovered."

Martial artists are limited by the laws of nature; no matter how high their talent or how hard they work, they can only ever reach the Grandmaster level.

Shen Mo suddenly realized, "You're that peerless grandmaster from a thousand years ago? No, you must have already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage back then, so why did you choose to continue reincarnating after your physical disintegration?"

The world Chen Ziang lives in must be a cultivation world full of spiritual energy!

Chen Zi'ang smiled mysteriously and said, "I'll be waiting for you!"

"wait for me?"

"That's right. When you, an outsider, arrive in this world, you will find my hiding place through the clues I gave you. It is the Crimson Lotus Throne left behind when this world was first created. You will break through to the Nascent Soul realm. This is not an ordinary Nascent Soul, but one of only two innate Nascent Souls in the world."

Only those from beyond the realm can cultivate the Innate Nascent Soul. Moreover, it is a certificate that is eternally valid. Once I reach the Nascent Soul stage in my first life, it will be born with each of my reincarnations, no matter how many times I reincarnate.

My nascent soul is Yin, yours is Yang!

Chen Zi'ang was very patient. He had kept these words to himself for hundreds of years and had no one to tell them to. He didn't mind explaining them to Shen Mo.

Shen Mo fell silent.

Besides the system, his past was completely exposed, and his identity as a transmigrator was revealed.

"Do you have any other questions?"

Chen Zi'ang smiled calmly, displaying the demeanor of a refined and approachable old gentleman.

Shen Mo asked in a deep voice, "What realm are you at now?"

"Like you, we are both Nascent Soul cultivators, and there is no distinction between early, middle, and late stages. The only difference is that my Nascent Soul devoured yours, or you devoured mine. After the innate Yin and Yang Nascent Souls merge, this world will change."

"At that time, the spiritual energy will be restored, allowing you to break through to a higher realm!"

Shen Mo narrowed his eyes and asked again, "Are you so confident you've got me figured out?"

"Although you have reached the Nascent Soul stage, you have no understanding of the Nascent Soul realm, let alone the special characteristics of the Innate Nascent Soul stage."

Chen Zi'ang paused for a moment, then said, "The world you live in is probably already depleted of spiritual energy, so you've probably never even seen what a Nascent Soul cultivator looks like, right?"

all hit.

Shen Mo clenched his fist. His opponent was like a strong man with many years of fighting experience, while he was an infant who had transmigrated into an adult's body. Even with his physical strength, he was no match for him.

"Come, die by my hand, and become my supreme Nascent Soul, ushering in an era of spiritual revival!"

Chen Ziang gently raised his hand, and countless sword energies were instantly created out of thin air.

next moment.

These sword energies shot towards Shen Mo like raindrops. Shen Mo quickly dodged by stepping on his flying sword. Due to the large range of motion, he almost fell off the flying sword.

Seeing this, Chen Zi'ang scoffed, "You're so clumsy with sword control, yet you dare to challenge me?"

In the next instant, countless sword energies were born again.

"Four Shadows Slash the Moon, Break!"

Shen Mo unleashed a deadly sword move, but unfortunately, a move at the Grandmaster level was clearly insufficient at this level.

Its power was a hundred times greater than before, yet it was as fragile as paper under the opponent's all-pervasive sword energy.

Below, countless palaces were destroyed by the aftershocks of the clash between the two swords.

Everyone had already scattered and fled.

Only Yang Fugui and the old Taoist priest remained standing in the same spot.

Yang Fugui hurriedly asked, "Old charlatan, quickly tell me whether my apprentice will win or not?"

Judging from the battle situation, the outlook is not optimistic!

The old Taoist priest shook his head: "The outcome of their battle is a true secret of heaven; how could I, a mere mortal, possibly deduce it?"

"They're clearly at the same cultivation level, so why is there such a huge difference?"

Shen Mo observed that his opponent was handling the situation with ease, completely like an old man playing with a child. Suddenly, he understood the mentality of those who had been killed by his opponents of the same level.

Another dozen or so rounds passed.

Shen Mo was covered in sharp sword wounds, looking as if he had been pulled from a pool of blood, but none of these wounds were fatal.

"Alright, it's time to end this nonsense."

After speaking, Chen Ziang stopped his playful expression and his aura suddenly became tense.

Shen Mo felt an inexplicable pressure. When he looked up, he saw that countless sword energies had gathered into a "giant sword" that was hanging above his head.

He fled in panic, but before he could even breathe two, he was pinned to the ground by the giant sword.

"puff--!"

Shen Mo lay prostrate on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood mixed with his internal organs, his entire being instantly becoming listless and weak.

Just as life was fading away, a new life force was born out of nowhere.

Seeing that Shen Mo's condition after being stabbed was far better than he had expected, Chen Zi'ang frowned and asked, "What treasure do you possess that you're still alive?"

Shen Mo didn't know what was going on, but suddenly saw Xiao Yishu and Wen Ruoying, who were hiding in the courtyard in the distance, exclaiming in surprise and helping Qin Jiangyue, who had suddenly fallen to the ground and whose hair had turned half white, to her feet.

In that instant, he remembered the story Qin Jiangyue had told him.

Shen Mo had always been curious about Gu worms, so he asked Qin Jiangyue what kinds of strange Gu worms there were in the world. Qin Jiangyue said that there was a kind of Gu called the Life and Death Gu, which was like a mother and child worm, consisting of two parts.

The living Gu represents life, while the dead Gu represents death.

The holder of the Death Gu will continuously transfer their own life force to the holder of the Life Gu as long as they activate the Death Gu. It is a special kind of Gu that benefits others at the expense of the holder.

Shen Mo asked her if she had any of these Gu worms, and Qin Jiangyue rolled her eyes and said no.

Now it seems that the poison Qin Jiangyue used on him on their wedding day was the life poison from the life-and-death poison. If he hadn't actively activated the death poison and transferred his own life force to her, he wouldn't have been able to withstand that sword strike!

As Qin Jiangyue lay dying, her eyes were still fixed on him, as if she had a thousand words left unsaid.

Shen Mo roared angrily, his eyes filled with hatred as if he wanted to devour Chen Zi'ang alive.

What is it that he has but the other person doesn't?

system!

Since the system helped him overcome the initial difficulties, it should be useful in this final hurdle. But as a system that helps with cultivation, where is there time for him to slowly cultivate?

Shen Mo had an idea, so he simply asked, "System, what would happen if I fused all the martial arts techniques together?"

"Who are you talking to?"

Chen Ziang felt increasingly uneasy. Shen Mo seemed to be talking to himself, or perhaps he had gone mad.

"The host can use one martial art as a base and integrate all other martial arts. Please choose the martial art as your base."

The system didn't say what to do, it only provided feasible solutions.

"Basic martial arts? Then I'll choose the first internal skill I learned in this world—the Nine Yang Divine Skill!"

As soon as Shen Mo finished speaking, all the martial arts information on the panel disappeared, and a new piece of information appeared out of thin air.

【The True Understanding of the Nine Luminaries' Immortality (Complete)】

At that moment, another giant sword aura, comparable in size to a palace, crashed down.

Shen Mo had already activated the Nine Luminaries Undying True Explanation, and his skin instantly emitted a dazzling golden light, making him as dazzling as the sun. He then punched the giant sword with the force of the wind.

Shattered, the sword energy transformed into wind and shattered.

Chen Ziang looked horrified and immediately accelerated to escape, no longer maintaining his previous composure.

But Shen Mo was faster than him!

In the blink of an eye, he had grabbed his left shoulder.

"I can give you my nascent soul to help you achieve the Great Dao, but hold your hand!"

"Qin Jiangyue is dead. Nothing else matters to me anymore. I only want you dead!"

After saying that, Shen Mo raised his fist and threw a simple punch.

One punch!

Chen Ziang's head exploded, along with his primordial soul. He would forever lose the right to reincarnation, and die a true and utter death.

At the same time, the innate primordial spirit within his body transformed into a stream of light and entered his body.

The two combined to form what Chen Zi'ang called the Nascent Soul of Heaven and Earth, and a deafening roar resounded throughout the world. This roar came from the sky, from the earth, from the mountains, and from the sea.

Ordinary people can sense that the air seems a little different.

Shen Mo sensed that the era of spiritual energy revival had officially arrived!

And he is the only tyrant in this world, the only immortal who slays lords!
