Chapter 247: Chapter 241: "Su

To say the least, Liang Yi was truly startled. Was this senior truly so formidable?

The corpses in the image were not ordinary powerless people, judging from the Mana fluctuations after their deaths, none were below the Third Realm cultivators.

It seemed as simple as slicing through leeks with a single sword strike, treating the cultivators on the opposite side as if they were nothing, even easier than slaughtering chickens, right?

"Senior, may I ask what you need me for?" Liang Yi’s smile unconsciously turned more genial.

Cultivation must first refine the heart, and from the heart begins the path of the Immortal Path.

"Answer my question first." The middle-aged man closed his eyes again, his tone cold.

Question? Liang Yi suddenly understood, was he being asked if he was from this epoch?

"I, the junior, indeed do not belong to the same epoch as Senior. I am from the Third Epoch." Liang Yi confessed honestly.

"So, this Illusion Realm is from the Second Epoch then..." The middle-aged man seemed thoughtful, apparently understanding why his power felt somewhat illusory.

"Senior, do you know this is an Illusion Realm?" Liang Yi was startled, as the person simulated by the Illusion Realm was aware that he was in an Illusion Realm, this senior from the Taoist Sect seemed even more incredible than Liang Yi thought.

"You don’t recognize me?" Jian Yi’s tone was peculiar, and he was puzzled that Liang Yi, who had inherited the Taoist Sect’s teachings, didn’t recognize him.

"The Taoist Sect’s legacy was obtained by my master, who then inherited the name of the Taoist Sect and now is the Sect Leader, and I am one of the disciples taken by my master." Liang Yi briefly shared with the senior about the Taoist Sect’s origin told by his master and the current situation of the Taoist Sect.

The stern-faced middle-aged man, whether hearing about the demise or reconstruction of the Taoist Sect, showed no emotional fluctuations, which made Liang Yi wonder if this senior was truly from the Taoist Sect.

"The Sword Intent you and your junior sister learned were both left by me, so calling me Master isn’t wrong," said this cool senior Jian Yi suddenly, which was somewhat within Liang Yi’s expectations yet unexpected.

The sword strike in the Illusion Realm had astounded Liang Yi, such a formidable Sword Cultivator who could nearly shatter the skies, even within the Taoist Sect must be rare, right? But of the powerful Taoist Sect’s Sword Cultivators, Liang Yi only knew one, and that was the owner of the Sword Zen.

However, Liang Yi did not expect that this seemingly ordinary stern middle-aged man was that Taoist Sect Sword Immortal, so it was within reason yet unexpected.

"Junior Liang Yi, thank you, Sword Immortal Senior, for passing on the teachings." Liang Yi had nothing else to say, skipping formalities to express his thanks directly; as for acknowledging a master? That indeed wasn’t acceptable.

Jian Yi didn’t mind, since he had merely spoken casually.

"Your master certainly has lofty ambitions, aspiring to surpass the founder of Sword Dao, whereas you, I cannot see through." Jian Yi was actually not as easy-going as he appeared.

Back in the day, among the three immortals of the Taoist Sect, it was he who had the strongest murderous heart, feared by everyone as the Taoist Sect Sword Immortal.

And it wasn’t that he didn’t want to take disciples, he just hadn’t met a desirable one yet, so until death he had no disciples. However, he had condensed his life-long learning into two pure Sword Intents left in the Sword Zen, quietly waiting for later generations to explore.

Yet unexpectedly, while he had once traveled the world without finding a suitable disciple, now suddenly two appeared. The first one had high aspirations, planning to surpass him as the founder of the Sword Dao, and from what this young man said, he was a stunningly talented individual.

And the second was this handsome young man before him, Jian Yi had seen countless talented youths, a whole Secret Realm wouldn’t contain them. But he had never seen such a good-looking one, he could almost ascend by his looks alone!

Moreover, Jian Yi sensed that this young man had an exceptional natural talent for Sword Dao, being at just the early stage of Fourth Realm and already grasping the basics of Sword Births All Techniques, which was truly unimaginable. Looking at it this way, this young man’s comprehension could be considered monstrous.

"The times have changed, huh." Jian Yi couldn’t help feeling somewhat emotional; such a figure, even placed in his time, would be considered unparalleled. His master too earned his respect, having resisted the temptation to cultivate after feeling his Sword Intent and instead aspired to surpass him, truly not an ordinary individual.

With such two people for the continuation of the Taoist Sect today, how could the Taoist Sect not prosper! His big brother and third brother would be comforted if they knew, right?

Liang Yi too was secretly amazed, this was truly a bona fide Sword Immortal senior, the legendary founder of the Sword Dao in this world.

To note, "Sword Immortal" is now used to praise those powerful Sword Cultivators, but back in the First Epoch, this title belonged solely to this senior Jian Yi, the ancestral founder of all Sword Cultivators!

Taoist Sect’s Sword Immortal among the three immortals!

"Sword Dao, Sword Dao, the sword is just a technique to protect the Dao, the Dao is the essence. Your master has found his Dao, but you haven’t." Jian Yi "looked" at Liang Yi and slowly spoke.

"If you one day wish to step into the realm of Ninth Realm Heavenly Immortal, you must find your own Dao. All I am here is a mere cluster of consciousness and even then, one simulated by the Illusion Realm based on historical records, so I can’t give you anything else, only try to point you in the right direction."

"Ninth Realm? Thank you, Sword Immortal Senior, for your guidance. I am deeply grateful!" Liang Yi’s expression was solemn, he gave a respectful bow to Jian Yi in front of him, but then raised his head to ask, "Can Senior tell me what’s going on now? My junior sister and two friends are still trapped here!"

"You mean, someone else has already come in before you!?" Initially composed Jian Yi suddenly opened his eyes wide and glared angrily at Liang Yi.

When Jian Yi’s anger surged, the dark Void around was split by a blood-red lightning, like a shattered mirror, splintering ice.

Liang Yi too widened his eyes, witnessing the scene hidden beyond the darkness.

A battle! A battle with shrieks piercing the heavens! And the disparity in the number of both parties was simply staggering.

Millions of fearless warriors rushing towards a single person!

And the man who stood at the pinnacle, tirelessly wielding his longsword in a killing spree, is none other than Sword One!

Liang Yi looked at the calm Sword One before him, then at the scene where a man could slay a million with a single sweep of his sword.

Indeed, it was a single person.

"This is the erosion of the Abyss, for those people being killed by me is a kind of liberation," Sword One had regained his composure, but the scene behind him continued to unfold before Liang Yi.

"I’ve more or less guessed the situation here. In the historical trajectory, the power I left behind was ambushed, that Abyss minion from the Purple Cloud Sect released the fellow below, planning to break our seal on the Abyss a thousand years later. My remaining consciousness then entered the Taihua Xiyi Clock, guiding Sect Master Bo Tiandao on how to reseal the Abyss."

"It must be because I last dissipated in the Taihua Xiyi Clock, capturing some memories and thoughts, that now this Illusion Realm could be recreated."

Watching the fervent eyes of the cultivators in the scene, Liang Yi involuntarily shivered. After their consciousness was twisted like this, living was truly worse than dying.

Is this the Abyss that has never been shown to the players?

In the scene, the ordinary cultivators posed absolutely no trouble to Sword One; only cultivators of the same level qualified, and the last person who appeared before Sword One was a young man with a gentle face and a warm smile.

At this, the scene ended.

"You said someone entered before you, yet I didn’t notice at all, should be that the fellow below fooled me."

After waking up, he sharply realized the anomaly of his current situation, focusing most of his energy on self-exploration, thus being deceived without even noticing, indeed he had been negligent.

But merely the guy below alone wouldn’t suffice, mostly there was someone helping him from the outside world.

As expected, no matter the epoch, the minions of the Abyss are endless!

Crack, crack—

Sword One tilted his neck, emitting several crisp sounds. And those chains binding his body, coming from all directions, also started to tremble.

Though they appeared extremely strong, once they began to shake, they turned as smooth as flowing water, the chains transforming into a black iron flow condensing in Sword One’s palm, eventually forming a longsword somewhat familiar to Liang Yi.

At this moment, the Sword Intent radiating from Sword One’s body was immediately recognized by Liang Yi, identical to the two kinds of Sword Intents inside the Sword Seal.

Ultimate originality!

"This sealed place is where I and that Abyss minion you saw had a fierce battle back then. Although he was weak, backed by the Abyss, I couldn’t kill him, so I could only seal him here."

"The three who came before probably got duped by him to destroy the seal. I will help carve out a path for you shortly, use this path to go there and protect the three seals I left behind."

Sword One instructed urgently, he himself had to stay here to suppress that fellow; otherwise, the consequences were unimaginable.

"You must remember, in this world the Abyss is the Abyss, no matter in what form it appears, it is still the Abyss. When the power of the Abyss begins to manifest, it starts to bewitch those around it."

After Sword One admonished, he swung his longsword directly downwards in the air, slashing open a "wound" in the void, which displayed mixed hues inside.

Azure, pink, and white.

"Because that Abyss minion was troublesome, I directly split him into three parts, sealing his power, Divine Soul, and his now empty carcass in three different locations."

"Go, don’t let that fellow come out, otherwise the result of me drawing my sword would be no different from this Illusion Array collapsing."

Liang Yi inwardly sighed, realizing those titled as Immortals were indeed extraordinary, all his reading of novels in his past life wasn’t for naught. Seeing the performance of this senior, he had more or less guessed it.

The Realm of this senior and the Abyss should both possess uniqueness, no matter past, present, or future, as long as they appear in the Time River, he can naturally comprehend everything he has experienced.

"Youngster will surely not fail the senior’s entrustment." Liang Yi stepped forward into the tricolored fissure without looking back.

And the moment Liang Yi stepped in, the space where Sword One was began to violently tremble, the suppressed being realizing someone aimed to thwart his grand scheme, attempting to erase the variable that was Liang Yi with his limited power!

Sword One felt the movement around him and his expression turned even colder, reversing his hand to plunge the sword in his hand into the void, directly suppressing all movements, the force targeting Liang Yi also dissolving into nothing.

"Thinking of bewitching the juniors to plunge into the Abyss, and then to resurrect the Abyss Will in the Third Epoch after the Illusion Realm ends? Dreaming every single day?"

"We are already dust obliterated in the Time River, just wait quietly for the Illusion Realm to end. Besides, with me here, do you think you can cause any waves?"

As Sword One’s words resonated, the space seemed to want to tremble even more violently, but subdued under the Immortal Sword bearing a "Su" character on its hilt, all efforts were futile,

Displays of impotent fury.
