Chapter 443: Chapter 357: Various Parties (Request for Monthly Ticket)

"Heh heh... Not to mention us, even the two great holy lands will certainly have cultivators who will take action."

Pengmo Island Master confirmed, "We only desire a modest share, to obtain a few treasures and sword manuals around the periphery. Have you made a decision?"

Fang Xing and his Cultivation Avatar exchanged a look before the Avatar spoke, "This matter... let me consider it. Before the Seven Demons Charge Evil, I will definitely give you an answer."

"Still need to consider?"

Pengmo Island Master frowned, "Well then... If you have made a decision, arrive at the ’Rashamon Island’ outside the Primordial Demon Sea three months before the Seven Demons Charge Evil. I will wait no longer!"

He was, after all, a renowned great master in the Inner Sea Demon Path, caring about his reputation.

His invitation this time was only because of Fang Yun’s extraordinary strength.

...

Watching the Island Master’s departing light, Fang Xing shook his head and returned to his cave mansion to pick up his Second Nascent Soul, preparing to thoroughly refine it.

His Cultivation Avatar, having nothing else to attend to, rode a streak of sword light to the Iron Sword Sect.

Taibai Sword Immortal, a head of white hair but appearing like a youth, was training numerous Core Formation real persons of the Iron Sword Sect.

"When you strike with your sword, how can you hesitate?"

"Upon seeing an enemy, you should draw your sword and kill... With one thought, dust gathers on the sword, and with many thoughts, the sword slows, seal your fate!"

"With your swordsmanship, back when the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect still existed, each one of you would either die dueling or wouldn’t even be able to enter the inner door!"

...

Taibai Sword Immortal held a peach blossom, contending against many flying swords, completely disparaging everyone below the Fire Dragon True Person as worthless.

Seeing the expressions of his junior Core Formation brothers and sisters, they were almost dying of shame.

’No wonder the Killing Sword Lineage has only one successor generation after generation... If Taibai Sword Immortal had other brothers and sisters, they would definitely band together to kill him first.’

Fang Xing thought to himself and landed the sword light, "Fellow Taibai."

"Fellow Ming Kun."

Receiving the peach blossom, Taibai Sword Immortal shouted, "Your foundation is too weak, practice the basic sword technique ten thousand times today, no less, and you are not allowed to rest!"

He then joined Fang Xing in a nearby pavilion to drink tea.

"Hehe, Uncle Master Taibai... our sect’s disciples have adapted the Five Elements Sword Art differently from the methods traditionally nurtured by our sect, hence their weaker foundations, please forgive them."

The Fire Dragon True Person was pouring tea, a smile plastered on his face.

Although those junior brothers and sisters were trained harshly, for a sword cultivator, advancements in swordsmanship were more important than anything.

It was a natural profit for the Iron Sword Sect.

"Hmph... The ancestor of your Wan Miao lineage isn’t up to the mark, changing the basic sword technique, and messing it all up."

Taibai Sword Immortal snorted coldly, sipped some Spiritual Tea, "In the entire Iron Sword Sect, only your swordsmanship is somewhat commendable."

Fang Xing silently sipped his tea, remaining quiet.

His efforts in swordsmanship were average; his current realm of ’Sword Intent Formation’ was all thanks to the enlightenment instilled by his old master.

If he had to practice swordsmanship from scratch, he probably wouldn’t even match the Fire Dragon True Person.

After all, his main effort was focused on cultivating breakthroughs.

"Fellow Ming Kun has already made considerable progress in the realm of Sword Intent Formation. With some more polish, he could surely achieve great success. Perhaps one day, you could project nascent spirit into a sword and One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Techniques might also be possible."

Taibai Sword Immortal turned to Fang Xing again, saying earnestly.

Back when he was only briefly distracted during the chaotic reef sword duel, analyzing the external fight, he had already understood Fang Xing’s realm of Sword Dao, "But the transition between sword intents is slightly sluggish, requiring more practice..."

"Fellow Taibai, your swordmanship is exquisite, which I admire immensely. This time, were you able to touch the threshold of ’Sword Breaks All Laws’ by successively defeating nine Nascent Soul middle-stage combatants?"

Fang Xing was curious.

"Not at all... My Sword Dao barely qualifies as a great accomplishment in sword force, far from Sword Breaks All Laws."

Taibai Sword Immortal’s gaze turned a bit distant, "As legend has it, during the heyday of the sect, a Nascent Soul Sword Lord comprehending the fifth realm, ’Sword Breaks All Laws,’ truly marks a core true inheritor. If I could cultivate in ’Canglan Hall’ to temper my Sword Heart for a hundred years, I might get a chance to glimpse into the fifth realm of Sword Dao..."

Canglan Hall, like the Sword Heart Peak of the Heavenly Sword Sect, was a treasure ground for tempering the Sword Dao realm.

Fang Xing silently took note, planning to let his true self consume Canglan Hall once he arrived at the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect.

With the heritage of the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect, there surely were the ’One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Techniques’ insights left by a Divinity Transformation Sword Venerable, and that would be a boost when the time came.

To him, the mountain gate of the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect was quite a treasure.

"By the way, it seems that a Nascent Soul middle-stage cultivator also visited today?"

Taibai Sword Immortal mentioned the Pengmo Island Master.

"Yes, it was the Pengmo Island Master, planning to invite me to explore the mountain gate of the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect."

Fang Xing chuckled.

"Traitorous subjects and thieves... The sea area he resides in was once a force under my Primordial Spirit Sword Sect," Taibai Sword Immortal’s eyes glittered with a killing intent, "Next time we meet, just one sword will suffice to slay him."

...

In the boundless heights of the void.

Rows upon rows of glorious and magnificent jade palaces, akin to the legendary ’Heavenly Court,’ were enveloped by endless white clouds, cranes, and auspicious light, overlooking the mortal world.

This was the ’Piaomiao Immortal Palace,’ one of the three great holy lands of the Immortal Cultivation World!

Located above the Sky Dome, it possessed a ’Sixth Rank Spirit Vein’ that was nearly extinct in the Qian Yuan Great World!

What was even more astonishing was that this Sixth Rank Spirit Vein was a ’Heavenly Vein’!

Invisible by nature, the Heavenly Vein, through the divine ability of the founder of the Piaomiao Immortal Palace, had been condensed into an ’island in the sky,’ upon which the ’Piaomiao Heavenly Palace’ was constructed.

Among the three great holy lands in the Immortal Cultivation World of Hanhai, the Piaomiao Immortal Palace was acknowledged as the most grand and vast.

At this time, within the ’Lingxiao Hall’ at the very center of the ’Heavenly Court.’

A white-robed Sword Lord glided in and bowed to the master at the highest seat: "Palace Master!"

The position of the palace master of the Piaomiao Immortal Palace had always been held by women cultivators; this generation’s master possessed Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivation, dressed in fine garments and wearing a phoenix mask on her face.

A creature resembling a Green Bird, a divine bird, leisurely preened its feathers on a nearby golden silk bird perch, exuding the formidable demonic aura of a Great Demon.

"Gong Feiyun, back then, when your master turned to the Piaomiao Immortal Palace, it was ’Yu Heavenly Venerable’ himself who took action and lifted the prohibitions and blood oaths you bore..."

The voice of the Piaomiao Palace Master was as smooth as pearls and jades, every word falling like pearls onto a jade plate: "Now, it is time to repay that debt."

"Please rest assured, Palace Master, we will surely procure the Sword Sect’s inheritance for the Immortal Palace."

Gong Feiyun answered earnestly.

"Hehe..."

The Piaomiao Palace Master chuckled lightly: "No matter how excellent the ’Spirit Void Sword Scripture’ is, how can it compare to the ’Misty Void Scripture’? Even if it’s a chance for Divinity Transformation, if you manage to seize it, it will be yours... All this palace desires is the ’Immortal Mansion Treasure’ secretly harbored by the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect!"

"Immortal Mansion Treasure? It is actually real?" Gong Feiyun exclaimed in shock.

"If it were not confirmed that the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect has already obtained that ’Immortal Mansion Treasure,’ why would the ancient demon need to attack their door instead of coming here to the Piaomiao Immortal Palace?"

The voice of the Piaomiao Palace Master grew significantly serious: "This matter is of great importance; the sect specially nurtured you, promoting you all the way to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, just for this moment! Only a direct disciple of the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect, holding a Mystic Iron Sword Order, can gain the recognition of the Sixth Rank Array Spirit... This time, ’Yu Heavenly Venerable’ will covertly accompany you."

Gong Feiyun suddenly felt a bit terrified; this was no pretense: "Is Yu Heavenly Venerable personally taking action?"

As a holy land, the Piaomiao Immortal Palace internally had more than one Divinity Transformation master.

Initially, Gong Feiyun thought that having one or two early or middle stage Divinity Transformation venerables accompanying him was already a sign of extreme importance from the sect.

However, he did not expect that it would be Yu Heavenly Venerable from the late stage of Divinity Transformation personally accompanying him, truly making him feel honored and alarmed.

"After all, it involves the Immortal Mansion Treasure. If it wasn’t for the lower realm, even late stage God Transformation cultivators would..."

The voice of the Piaomiao Palace Master gradually lowered until it eventually faded into nothingness.

...

A certain sea domain.

Howling winds and turbulent waves filled the area.

Within the black metal hall, mournful wails could be heard intermittently.

The originally dark sky within the hall was finally torn apart bit by bit by patches of light.

Those were several Bronze Lamps, but what burned within the lamps were not wicks, but Nascent Soul Spirit Bodies.

Many Nascent Souls having their divine souls lit as lamps, their woeful cries forming a chilling backdrop in the pitch-dark hall.

Several robed Nascent Soul True Monarchs were prostrated on the ground, the edges of their garments trembling: "We thank the Heavenly Venerate for the punishment of the Thunder Whip..."

At the forefront of the hall stood a robed figure.

His face was aged, and his form seemed to merge into the darkness around him.

"In the battle at the Red Algae Sea, you were responsible for intelligence, resulting in our side’s loss of two Nascent Soul Late Stage... Had it been according to my old temperament, you all would undoubtedly take a trip to the ’Thousand Demon Lamp.’

"Each statement from the aged Demon Cultivator caused the bodies of Nascent Soul True Monarchs below to tremble even more violently.

"However, as we are now gearing up to storm the Primordial Demon Sea and the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect, it is a time to make use of people. You all will first be assigned to the ’Sin Hall’ to make merits in atonement."

The robed Demon Cultivator coldly laughed: "Now that your Nascent Souls have all been implanted with the ’prohibition of Seven Afflictions and Eight Hardships,’ if you dare defy military commands, you will certainly wish for death.

""We thank the Heavenly Venerate; we shall take our leave," many Nascent Soul True Monarchs, who normally wielded great power, were now utterly in dire straits.

Moments later, a voice arose within the hall: "Old Ancestor Mo You, even after all, my Wuji Palace still possesses a Thunder Vein’s Mystic Iron Sword Order, it won’t fall too far behind..."

"Hmph, this trip to the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect, that old ghost Yu from the Piaomiao Immortal Palace will definitely go, I’m afraid I’ll have to make a move as well," the robed Demon Cultivator said.

The previous speaker was shocked: "Old Ancestor Meng, are you personally taking action?"

"Hehe... After all, it’s a great opportunity, whether to seize the Immortal Mansion Treasure or take the chance to eliminate Yu Heavenly Venerable... My Wuji Palace is a line of Demon Cultivators, although Demon Cultivators eventually ascend to the Spirit Realm, if willing to undergo demonization voluntarily, ascending to the Demon Realm is also not objectionable," Meng Old Demon chuckled quietly: "Back when the ancient demon broke free and the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect was destroyed, it was our brilliant achievement by the Wuji Palace... If we also obliterate Piaomiao Immortal Palace, our Wuji Palace will be the sole supreme authority in Hanhai."

"But Yu Heavenly Venerable is also a late-stage Divinity Transformation great cultivator," the speaker, a Nascent Soul Late Stage Great True Monarch, was somewhat hesitant.

"No worries... When releasing the ancient demon back then, I specifically reserved a ’Blood Soul Lamp.’

"Meng Old Ghost sneered: "Looking at it now, that ancient demon might not be dead, just trapped deep within the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect... If released, with two against one, even if Yu old ghost is cunning, he can only die with regret!"
