The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 724 - 723 Pagoda

Chapter 724: Chapter 723 Pagoda

"Just one move." Pei Yanchao snorted lightly, clearly somewhat unconvinced.

"Continue then!"

Pei Yanchao stabilized his stance, his aura becoming unified, turning him into an imposing mountain—unmovable and seemingly indestructible, giving off an invincible vibe.

Ye Xuan, seeing this, didn’t waste words, but his sword intent abruptly shifted, using his finger as a sword, slashing down through the air.

"Floating Tower Sword Point."

Boom———

In an instant, that one strike seemed to transform into eight Floating Tower Sword Towers, suppressing all beneath the heavens.

Above the vault of heaven, a Floating Tower World truly emerged, towering and boundless, vast and sweeping!

"This is impossible!"

That scene shook Pei Yanchao’s Dao Heart to its core.

Aside from the Vajra Sword Finger, this guy can also use the Floating Tower Sword Point?

These are both supreme techniques from within the Sword Tomb!

Even he hadn’t mastered the Floating Tower Sword Point, let alone invoke such a terrifying atmosphere.

This strike, once loosed, could plunge an enemy into the world of the Floating Tower Sword Towers, sink them within, and obliterate their Dao Hearts, a move of extreme lethality within the Sword Tomb.

It was entirely different from the Vajra Sword Finger.

The Vajra Sword Finger emphasized defense, breaking offense with an impregnable stance!

But the Floating Tower Sword Point was something else entirely.

For a moment, Pei Yanchao could only hastily counter.

"Vajra Sword Finger!"

Pei Yanchao once again employed the Vajra Sword Finger.

With one point of his finger, Vajra indestructible!

That one strike could block all things!

Boom!

The clash between the Vajra Sword Finger and the Floating Tower Sword Point.

His once thought unassailable Vajra Sword Finger was instantly shattered by the Floating Tower Sword Point and bore down on Pei Yanchao.

"This is bad..."

Coldness gripped Pei Yanchao’s heart, he knew he was defeated.

He was affected by the Floating Tower Sword Point, unable to fully exert his strength.

Moreover, his state of mind was perturbed by Ye Xuan’s sword moves; he knew he had already fallen into an inferior position.

Still, he ultimately could not understand why Ye Xuan knew the Sword Tomb’s techniques.

The eight Floating Tower Sword Towers pressed down, and Pei Yanchao slowly closed his eyes, his body swirling with Sword Qi, opening up a Sword Domain.

Boom—

The Sword Domain erupted, endless Sword Qi ravaging, intent on demolishing the Floating Tower Sword Towers.

But such non-existent things could not be cleared away by external force.

This was the formidable aspect of the Floating Tower Sword Point.

From the perspective of Zhou Youwei and the others, after Ye Xuan made his move, there seemed to be nothing at all, and when Pei Yanchao counter-attacked with the Vajra Sword Finger, he then broke his own Vajra Sword Finger, followed by a dazed standstill, closing his eyes and conjuring a Sword Domain as if resisting something.

Seeing this scene, they all knew, Ye Xuan had won.

It was this one move that secured his victory.

If Ye Xuan’s show of strength back at the Hengduan Mountain had been an overwhelming of power,

Then this time, it was a complete steamrolling of technique.

Be it the same Vajra Sword Finger or the more advanced Floating Tower Sword Point, both left Pei Yanchao unable to parry.

Defeat was already a foregone conclusion.

As time slowly passed, the surrounding snow had already enveloped the area, and yet Pei Yanchao was still unable to break free from the Floating Tower Sword Towers.

A moment later, Ye Xuan waved his hand, dispelling the Floating Tower Sword Point.

His Floating Tower Sword Point, let alone Pei Yanchao of the Heavenly Human Realm, even a strong person who has stepped into the Saint Realm might not be able to get out.

The Floating Tower Sword Point is an attack on the soul level.

Unless the opponent’s Soul Power surpasses his Emperor Soul, it cannot be resolved.

Only Ye Xuan can actively release the Floating Tower Sword Point; otherwise, the trapped person will remain stuck within the eight-part Floating Tower Sword Tower until death.

This is the terrifying aspect of the Floating Tower Sword Point.

It is also one of the famous secret skills of Sword Tomb.

As for why Ye Xuan knows both Floating Tower Sword Point and Vajra Sword Finger...

It has already been said.

Of all the Daoist Techniques in the world, Ye Xuan monopolizes nine thousand nine hundred of them.

As Ye Xuan’s strength continues to grow, the Daoist Magic he can wield will become increasingly terrifying.

This is something that no one else possesses.

A regular cultivator, wanting to master a Divine Skill, needs years of cumulative cultivation.

But the Divine Skills that Ye Xuan possesses only require that his own strength be sufficient to directly wield them, and they are mostly of great success level.

What Ye Xuan truly needs to cultivate are just his main practice, the Taichu Hongmeng Primordial Dao Technique, and the Taiyi True Water and Hand Palm Thunder that he trained in when Emperor Soul had just awakened.

Taiyi True Water and Hand Palm Thunder were, at that time, more of a hidden means for Ye Xuan to augment his own strength.

Just like the later appearing Starting Heaven Shaking Gate, Sword Qi Rolling Dragon Barrier, and others, Ye Xuan had mastered long ago.

As Ye Xuan dissipated the Floating Tower Sword Point, Pei Yanchao finally managed to exit from it.

The imposing figure that normally stood unmovable like a mountain was actually staggering about, nearly falling to the ground, his complexion was as pale as death, as if he had lived through a century.

Looking at Ye Xuan not far in front of him, Pei Yanchao gave a bitter smile and said rather weakly, "I have eyes yet failed to recognize Mount Tai."

Ye Xuan nodded slightly and asked, "Can we start going through the nine barriers?"

Pei Yanchao nodded and replied, "Please wait a moment, fellow Daoist. I will go make the arrangements immediately."

With those words, Pei Yanchao turned and left.

His figure disappeared into the snowstorm.

When he appeared again, he was already in a mountain gate filled with strange stone peaks.

Looking around, one could see sword peaks piercing into the sky everywhere.

Here was the true location of Sword Tomb.

Just like Immortal King Hall, Sword Tomb is nominally located in the Northern Land of East Desolate, yet it actually exists in a separate small world.

Upon returning to Sword Tomb, Pei Yanchao immediately went to pay respect to his Master, Chu Jiangqiu.

Chu Jiangqiu was one of the Elders of Sword Tomb, often in closed-door cultivation, with eight disciples under his command, with Pei Yanchao being the youngest.

Hearing of Pei Yanchao’s visit, Chu Jiangqiu ended his seclusion to meet him.

"Disciple pays respects to Master," Pei Yanchao said respectfully.

"Yanchao, weren’t you guarding the barriers? You still have two years before your time is up; how come you are out so soon?"

Upon seeing Pei Yanchao, Chu Jiangqiu spoke with a warm and pleased expression.

Guarding the barriers refers to the nine barriers of Sword Tomb.

Disciples of Sword Tomb can choose to guard these barriers, each term lasting for five years.

You are only allowed to leave after the five-year period.

Pei Yanchao, having guarded for three years, still had two years remaining.

So seeing Pei Yanchao so soon, Chu Jiangqiu was quite surprised.

"Master, I was defeated, by a young man in the Life Palace Realm," Pei Yanchao reported truthfully.

"Is that so?" Chu Jiangqiu raised his eyebrow in surprise.

Pei Yanchao, being one of Chu Jiangqiu’s disciples, was also one of the youngest generation with the highest talent within Sword Tomb, whom he held in high regard.

Pei Yanchao’s words left him somewhat dumbfounded.

"That young man has mastered our Sword Tomb’s Vajra Sword Finger as well as the Floating Tower Sword Point; his Vajra Sword Finger has already reached great success, capable of directly breaking through my Vajra Sword Finger," Pei Yanchao said solemnly.

"What?!" Chu Jiangqiu abruptly stood up, a surge of terrifying killing intent bursting from him, and he said in a deep voice, "He knows our Sword Tomb secret skills?!"
