Chapter 264: Deception and the Encounter with the Sword Immortal in the Temple (Part 1)
Chapter 264: Deception and the Encounter with the Sword Immortal in the Temple (Part 1)
Mysterious mists swirled amidst the pattering spring rain, creating a surreal scene akin to a heavenly realm.
The mists constantly shifted and transformed, taking on various shapes and forms.
A towering figure, clad in a Divine Messenger's robe, stood with his muscular arms crossed over his chest, exuding an air of dominance.
The mists dispersed, and the surging winds raged uncontrollably.
Feng Zhi Qi stood with his arms crossed, resembling a peerless Martial Hero standing atop a pinnacle, capable of bending the very air currents with a mere glance.
"Get out of here."
Feng Zhi Qi glared at Huang Jian Jiu, who was wearing a bamboo hat, his eyes revealing a peculiar glint. But his tone was blunt and devoid of any courtesy.
He stared at Huang Jian Jiu, sensing the powerful Martial Will and Heavenly Human Resonance, which made him keenly aware of something amiss with Huang Jian Jiu.
It was as if he was facing not a person but a ghostly shadow!
Huang Jian Jiu adjusted his bamboo hat, his eyes revealing a peculiar glint, his heart trembling with emotion, and a hint of grievance.
"Elder Feng, it's me, Jian Jiu."
Huang Jian Jiu spoke with a hint of grievance.
He had been visiting this Mysterious Temple daily, and Elder Feng had never stopped him before. Why was he blocking his way today?
Feng Zhi Qi's eyes seemed to have faint flashes of lightning, and with his powerful Heavenly Human Resonance, he could distinguish between reality and illusion.
In fact, as one's Martial Arts progressed, the ability to discern right from wrong and reality from illusion became increasingly powerful.
As Martial Will merged with the power of heaven and earth, the higher one's cultivation, the more harmonious one's Heavenly Human Resonance became with the world, and the stronger the sensing ability.
"The past is the past, and the present is the present..."
"You, Huang Jian Jiu, have already left the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, and you are no longer on the True Transmission List of the Divine Sect. According to the agreement between the Temple Surveillance and the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, if you were a True Transmission disciple, you could easily enter. But you're not..."
"So, I have the right to stop you."
Feng Zhi Qi laughed.
After a while, his gaze softened, and he sighed lightly.
"This is the Six Desires Exorcising Evil Lyuan Sword Immortal Odd Temple... Child, in your current state, it's best to leave."
His voice carried a hint of sadness.
Feng Zhi Qi took a step forward, and in an instant, his aura changed dramatically, as if the sky had collapsed and was pressing down, with endless winds howling and waves crashing. A vast expanse of waves was parted, and the raging winds surged like a dragon, roaring into existence!
In the blink of an eye, the entire Mysterious Temple area began to tremble, and dust filled the air! It was as if an invincible Martial Hero, as mighty as a dragon, had glared at the battlefield.
Boom!
Huang Jian Jiu felt an overwhelming sense of oppression.
Although he had reached the Sword Saint realm, and his sword was sharp, he had yet to defeat Su Wuming.
However, facing a Three-Opening Martial Saint like Feng Zhi Qi, who had reached the pinnacle of the Martial Path, was beyond Huang Jian Jiu's ability to contend with.
The gap between a One-Opening Martial Saint and a Three-Opening Martial Saint was akin to the difference between a Grandmaster and a Great Master. Huang Jian Jiu's sword case contained a vibrant sword intent.
In an instant, it was as if he was facing a charge of thousands of troops and horses.
Boom!
Above, the sky seemed to be filled with rolling thunder.
Countless raindrops were torn apart, and the thick clouds churned like ink, swirling endlessly.
A Martial Saint, with their will resonating with heaven and earth, was known as Heavenly Human Resonance. When this resonance reached its peak, a single thought could alter the heavens and change the weather.
If one truly reached the Four-Opening Martial Saint realm, opening the heavenly gates, they could even envelop the atmosphere for several miles, causing it to boil and surge. With every move, thunder and lightning would accompany them, and a single thought could incinerate mountains and boil the seas!
"Elder Feng... I just want to take a look. The Sword Immortal left me his sword intent legacy, and now... I want to go back and take a look. Isn't that what I should do?"
Huang Jian Jiu's body was enveloped in dazzling sword qi, humming and vibrating as if it wanted to tear through the nine heavens.
Although he was facing a Three-Opening Martial Saint, a peerless Martial Hero, Huang Jian Jiu was not afraid. At worst, he would die, but he was no longer afraid of death!
Buzzing filled the air.
Huang Jian Jiu clenched his five fingers, and in an instant, the sword qi intertwined and twisted into a horizontal beam of sword light!
The sword light slashed towards Feng Zhi Qi, and in a flash, it was as if nine swords had struck him.
"Elder Feng, please test the sword I've learned from the Sword Immortal Temple. This sword is called the 'Sword Ninety-One'!"
Huang Jian Jiu's entire body glowed with brilliance, as if countless dark clouds had been pierced through. The sword qi raged, falling from the sky.
All around.
The Martial Heroes of the Temple Surveillance, their eyes gleaming with astonishment.
Yuwen Wenlong stood at a distance, his eyes sparkling as he watched.
He wasn't worried about Feng Zhi Qi. In his opinion, Huang Jian Jiu's sword strike towards Feng Zhi Qi was more of a request for guidance.
"Well done."
"Perfect, let me see how amazing this sword of yours is, the one that has stunned the entire Heavenly Origin Dao City!"
Feng Zhi Qi's eyes burned with intensity, and instead of anger or irritation, he felt an endless appreciation.
After all, Huang Jian Jiu had the courage to draw his sword against him.
This alone demonstrated a spirit and courage that surpassed many others.
Amidst the howling winds, Feng Zhi Qi's eyes brightened, and he extended his five fingers, slapping out with force.
From the start, the weather changed!
His crystal-clear fingers trembled in the air, and with a mighty clap, he grabbed Huang Jian Jiu's sword, which had been divided into nine and then reunited into one.
Buzzing filled the air.
In a daze, everyone felt as if an incredibly tall mountain had risen from the ground, spanning the heavens and earth, an unscalable peak!
Huang Jian Jiu's sword qi was already stunning, but under Feng Zhi Qi's five fingers, all nine sword lights were seized and crushed in his palm, as if his hand contained endless transformations.
Countless sword energies raged and wreaked havoc around him.
Feng Zhi Qi burst into laughter, "Indeed, that was a good sword."
Huang Jian Jiu's eyes flashed, but since he wasn't fighting for his life, he didn't exert his full strength with this sword.
He gave Feng Zhi Qi a strange look, then his toes tapped the ground, and his entire body exploded into black mist and disappeared.
Feng Zhi Qi watched as Huang Jian Jiu vanished, a smile lingering on his face, slowly dissipating.
"What a Huang Jian Jiu..."
Feng Zhi Qi's eyes shone brightly, and then, with his powerful martial will, he merged with the heavens and earth, creating a heavenly human resonance that swept through like a radar.
His eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Just now... it seemed like something was hidden and slipped through Huang Jian Jiu's sword energy."
Feng Zhi Qi had been so focused on appreciating Huang Jian Jiu's sword that he might have missed something.
Taking a step forward, Feng Zhi Qi tore through the mysterious mist and crashed into it.
...
...
Boom!
The black mist exploded and then quickly condensed back into shape.
Huang Jian Jiu's figure appeared, crouching beside Li Che, who was holding a Fifth Rank Intermediate Divine Crystal.
"It's done, Your Highness."
Huang Jian Jiu crouched beside Li Che and said.
Li Che nodded, "Well done."
"Feng Zhi Qi is too strong. With his Martial Saint's three openings... his martial will is almost in harmony with the will of heaven and earth, it's terrifyingly powerful..."
Huang Jian Jiu shared his thoughts after facing Feng Zhi Qi's sword.
Li Che quickly understood the strength of a Martial Saint with three openings.
It was clear that Feng Zhi Qi, when facing Huang Jian Jiu's sword that was at least at the level of the Eight Desires Sword, casually clenched his five fingers and broke the sword technique.
This indicated that Feng Zhi Qi had an absolute overwhelming strength advantage over Huang Jian Jiu.
If even Feng Zhi Qi was this powerful, then what about Ji Ma Li?!
Li Che's eyes flickered with a faint electric arc, sensing an inexplicable pressure, like a dam breaking and a river surging forth.
Tyrant King Li Ma Li was a Martial Saint with four openings, an unparalleled Martial Saint, and also a Great Divine Embryo Four Divine Transformations cultivator. His overall strength was even higher and stronger than Feng Zhi Qi's!
Huang Jian Jiu took a sip from his wine gourd, drinking the wine he had obtained from his wife. Now that their relationship was public, he no longer had to drink on credit and could drink freely.
"When I first broke into the Su family, the person I feared the most was actually the Su family's old patriarch, Su Lei Ba... His cultivation was at the Martial Saint's second opening, and he was also a cultivator with a Divine Embryo One Divine Transformation."
"I had to request the help of the inner sect's grand elder. Otherwise, if Su Lei Ba returned, I might not have even been able to kill Su Wuming."
Huang Jian Jiu explained.
"Only after truly stepping into the Martial Saint realm will you understand the gap between each opening. It's like crossing a vast ocean, and it's difficult to bridge the gap."
Li Che nodded.
"It's not hard to understand. The higher the realm, the more it seems like just a single realm difference, but the gap that needs to be crossed and bridged might be beyond imagination."
"The higher the realm, the more terrifying the pressure of the rank, and the greater the impact."
Huang Jian Jiu nodded in agreement.
He got up unsteadily and bid farewell to Li Che before floating out of the courtyard.
As if merging with the darkness, he began to use the Corpse Deity Seal, which he had integrated into his Niwan Inner Vision, to search for the Corpse God Sect's evil members within Primordial Dao City.
Li Che watched Huang Jian Jiu leave, then retracted his gaze, and his mind moved, connecting with the Thunderbolt Chess Piece.
This Thunderbolt Chess Piece was wrapped within the sword energy that Huang Jian Jiu unleashed towards Feng Zhi Qi. When Feng Zhi Qi dispersed the sword energy, this chess piece also fell into it.
As long as the Thunderbolt Chess Piece was in place, Li Che could go anywhere in the vast world!
His eyes flickered, and electricity surged.
The black ink robe rustled, but Li Che did not immediately use the Thunderbolt Chess Piece to enter the Six Desires Exorcising Evil Lyuan Sword Immortal Odd Temple.
Instead, he remained seated, absorbing the power of the Divine Essence droplets that were churning and condensing within the Divine Essence Crystal.
The spring breeze and rain nourished all things.
The patter of rain on the black tiles and the sound of raindrops falling on the Chinese hackberry tree in the courtyard was crisp and clear.
Li Che silently cultivated his divine energy, calming his mind and spirit.
He didn't rush to take action.
He waited for the night to fall.
...
...
Clatter-clatter!
The carriage wheels crushed the dry leaves on the official road, and the wet leaves stuck to the wheels, mixing with the mud as they rolled.
The luxurious carriage, pulled by a purebred and noble Drakon Horse, galloped along the official road.
Inside the carriage, it was incredibly quiet, insulated by heavy soundproofing materials, making it soft and comfortable.
Lu Chi sat in the carriage, and his entire body seemed to be filled with surging divine essence, so he took out an extremely precious pill and put it in his mouth.
It was the renowned Five-Rank Divine Pill, the Hundred Herbs Minor Return Pill, produced by the Celestial Pill Sect in Guangling Dao. Each pill was incredibly valuable and had the effect of changing one's martial arts foundation, cleansing the physical body, and enhancing one's qi and blood.
"Your Highness, we're almost at Primordial Dao City."
Outside the carriage, two tall and straight figures, sitting upright like divine spears, reminded him.
Lu Chi opened his eyes, and in his stomach, the walls of his stomach were writhing, refining the medicinal properties of the Minor Return Pill, making his qi and blood even more powerful.
"Primordial Dao City..."
Lu Chi's eyes were devoid of emotion, but the lotus divine pattern between his eyebrows was shining brightly.
"There's still some time until Qingming, so it's good to arrive early and get accustomed to Primordial Dao City..."
Lu Chi said lightly.
"Your Highness, after entering Primordial Dao City, will we be staying at the Dao Lord's Residence?"
Across from the carriage, an elderly man with a full head of silver hair slowly opened his eyes and asked Lu Chi.
Lu Chi tilted his head, lifted the curtain, and looked out at the continuous spring rain outside the carriage window, momentarily lost in thought.
After a moment, he asked, "Mo Lao, at the Dao Lord's Residence... Is the Tyrant King's wife living there?"
"The old man nodded, "According to the returned message, it's true."
Lu Chi's eyes flashed, "Then we shall stay."
Mo Lao paused and smiled gently, "Good, then we'll stay at the Dao Master's Manor. I'll send a message ahead."
He was a little surprised. The prince clearly disliked the Tyrant King's wife, yet he was going to stay at the Dao Master's Manor?
However, Mo Lao didn't mind.
"I never expected that the prince would be able to obtain the Temple Deity's Divine Nature legacy in the Mysterious Temple of the Eight-Armed Lotus and the Wrathful Third Prince, and that he would make the decision to sever his seven emotions and six desires, passing the test of scraping the bones to return to his father and cutting the flesh to return to his mother..."
"It's indeed something I never thought possible."
"The Queen is very pleased for the prince... The royal family has no relatives, and in the Queen's eyes, the prince has finally gained the qualifications to compete with the other princes."
Mo Lao stroked his beard and spoke.
Lu Chi's eyes were indifferent, "It's just a faint hope. Basically, I can't see any hope, and the Queen has never placed any hope in me."
"The Imperial Scholar asked you to accompany me, but it's just a comfort. I ultimately couldn't meet the Imperial Scholar's expectations... I know my own talent, and besides, I only obtained two-tenths of the Third Prince's Temple Deity's Divine Nature legacy..."
"If I could obtain five-tenths or more of the Third Prince's Temple Deity's Divine Nature legacy, then perhaps I would have a chance."
Hearing this, Mo Lao fell silent and didn't say more.
The royal children always matured faster than others.
Inside the carriage, a moment of silence ensued.
Lu Chi looked at the spring rain, the overflowing spring rain intertwined with the leaden clouds.
In his mind, he faintly recalled the image of a chubby little girl, sitting happily on a twisting cart and laughing.
He took a deep breath and suddenly closed his eyes.
"We came here for the last direct transmission spot from the Lu Sect Master. If I can become his disciple..."
"Then the hope will be even greater."
"At the Peach Blossom Feast hosted by the Queen, we'll have one more chip to play."
Lu Chi spoke with a deep voice, opening his eyes again, his eyes filled with indifference.
No emotions, only interests remained.
...
...
The leaden clouds churned, and the thin, crystal-like raindrops leaped out from behind the clouds, like sword lights, piercing the sky and reflecting tiny specks of light in the night.
Kacha Kacha!
A streak of azure electric arc danced and leaped in the cloud layer, like a divine dragon's tail!
The wind and lightning roared, and the spring thunder rumbled!
Primordial Dao City.
Thunder Listening Lane.
