Chapter 436: Sword Sage, Great Dharmaraja of Dahong
Chapter 436: Sword Sage, Great Dharmaraja of Dahong
After much hesitation, Gu An still chose to agree.
After all, this was Yang Xian's life, and Yang Xian and Fang Meng had developed feelings for each other. Even without love, when an old friend is about to depart, one should see them off.
[You chose to agree to meet Fang Meng. You prepared yourself and left on the same day.]
[In the same year, you arrived at Blood Deer City and met Fang Meng. She lay on her bed, her face devoid of color. You sensed a power within her that resembled Sword Intent but was even more mysterious and complex. You suspected that Fang Meng's illness was related to this power. After some investigation, you learned that Fang Meng had not married. The veiled woman was a descendant of the Fang family, and Fang Meng wanted to test your feelings for her before her death. Upon learning the truth, you felt a mix of emotions.]
[At the age of five hundred and nine, despite your efforts to help, Fang Meng still passed away from her illness. You stood by her grave in deep thought, remaining there for months. Your black hair turned white, and you suddenly sensed a faint strand of power drifting from Fang Meng's grave, flying towards the distance. You felt that this was related to Fang Meng's death, so you decided to investigate. Before leaving, you carved the words "Wife of Yang Xian" on her tombstone.]
At this point, Gu An suddenly felt ashamed.
If he had chosen to agree to marry Fang Meng, would the outcome have been different? The reincarnation prompt continues.
That mysterious strand of power flew slowly, and along the way, Yang Xian punished the wicked and helped the virtuous, and his reputation as the White Robe Sword Hero began to spread.
He gradually came to understand that the common people were suffering under the oppression of the empire, while the immortal sects remained indifferent, sitting high above and only seeking benefits from the secular world without offering any aid.
Yang Xian continued on his path of doing good deeds, and his enemies grew in number, but his Sword Dao was powerful, and no one could stop him.
After several years, he followed that mysterious strand of power to the foot of the imperial city. He found the area outside the city littered with corpses, all ordinary people and cultivators, discarded and piled up like mountains, a truly appalling sight.
When he saw that strand of power entering the imperial palace, Yang Xian once again faced a crucial decision. The imperial city was currently holding a sacrificial ceremony, and no one was allowed to enter.
Gu An chose to forcefully break into the city. This was a pivotal moment in Yang Xian's life, and he couldn't back down. The prompt continues!
Breaking into the imperial city put Yang Xian in a difficult situation, but he used the power of the Universe as his sword and entered the palace unscathed.
He found the source of that power—the imperial tutor of the empire. The tutor had consumed the life force of others, including Fang Meng, whom he had met once, and infused the collected life force into the emperor's body to extend his life.
Yang Xian killed the imperial tutor, avenging countless victims. However, he discovered that the emperor was even more terrifying, and a heart-pounding battle ensued.
In the end, Yang Xian, without any assistance, slew the emperor but suffered severe injuries himself.
As he left, the city's residents bowed in gratitude, and a young girl asked his name. He did not hide it, choosing to bear the greatest hatred for what had happened.
The killer of the emperor—Yang Xian!
In the following year, Yang Xian returned to the mountains to recover from his injuries and continued to contemplate the Sword Dao.
But every few years, someone would seek his help, and if they truly faced an unsolvable hardship, he would lend his assistance.
Time passed, and when Yang Xian turned a thousand years old, Gu An still couldn't determine Yang Xian's cultivation realm, as the prompt didn't explicitly state it.
However, from the subtle hints in the text, it seemed that Yang Xian had reached the Immortal Dao realm.
Yang Xian's opportunities were not many, far fewer than his other reincarnated selves. He didn't even have the ability to take others' lifespans, relying solely on his own understanding of the Universe.
Gu An sensed an even stronger level of comprehension from Yang Xian compared to Ji.
Of course, Ji's most remarkable strength was still his combat talent, as if he were born solely for battle.
At the age of 1,234, a cultivator arrived at your mountain island, claiming to be a disciple of the Sword Deity and bringing an invitation. Upon opening the letter, you discovered that the Sword Deity was your disciple, Yang Ping'an. Yang Ping'an was about to become the Sword Lord of the Heavenly Sword Sage Mansion and wanted to invite you to a banquet. However, you chose to decline the invitation.
"Forget it!" Gu An exclaimed. "After all these years, he never came back to visit, and now that he's successful, he wants to show off his power? I'll refuse on Yang Xian's behalf."
The cultivator had no choice but to leave after Yang Xian's refusal.
Time passed, and Yang Xian continued his cultivation journey, facing challenges but always handling them with ease. More and more place names and influential factions appeared in the hints, indicating Yang Xian's growing reputation.
During this time, there were women who admired Yang Xian, but Gu An rejected them all.
Five thousand years later, someone visited Yang Xian and revealed his current title.
"Sword Sage!"
This title not only praised his strength but also celebrated his deeds and spirit. Regardless of his cultivation level, Yang Xian maintained his initial aspirations. Whenever someone in distress sought his help, he would respond without fail and never asked for compensation.
Yang Xian had slain terrifying demons, exposed the evil plans of renowned orthodox sects, and even stopped the Demon Sect from slaughtering the people of an imperial dynasty. His deeds spread far and wide, making him a living legend.
At the age of 9,999, after ten years of meditation, you finally attained enlightenment, transforming your Golden Core into an Essence Core and achieving the Freedom Dao Art.
What a talent! Becoming a Freedom Essence Immortal before even reaching 10,000 years old?
Yang Xian didn't possess vast cultivation resources or frequent guidance from powerful beings, yet he managed to cultivate at such an astonishing pace. After achieving the Freedom Essence Immortal realm, Yang Xian could do even more. He even encountered the greatest evil in the Dahong World.
The Great Dharmaraja of Dahong was the most powerful force in the Dahong World, residing above the heavens like a celestial being, looking down upon the countless mortals. They treated ordinary spirits as food and plundered the cultivation of cultivators, but they hid their actions well. Even if someone discovered their secret, they wouldn't dare to spread the word.
Yang Xian learned about the Great Dharmaraja's evil deeds from a cultivator whose family had been slaughtered by them. Although the Great Dharmaraja possessed strength beyond the ninth heaven of the Immortal Dao, Yang Xian couldn't challenge them at the moment. Nonetheless, he chose to help the cultivator seek revenge and killed a Freedom Essence Immortal of the Great Dharmaraja.
Decades later, the Great Dharmaraja sent people to recruit Yang Xian, but Gu An, understanding his personality, helped him refuse their offer.
After that, powerful cultivators occasionally attacked Yang Xian, but he repelled them one by one. Eventually, he encountered a mysterious powerful being who suppressed him.
Due to the vast gap in cultivation, Yang Xian was struck by the powerful being's hand and sent flying into the mountains. At the critical moment, a sword light flashed across the heavens and saved Yang Xian.
It was Yang Xian's first master, the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Ancestor, who had come to his rescue.
The Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Ancestor took Yang Xian away from the Dahong World and hid him in a small heavenly realm.
The Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Ancestor warned Yang Xian not to provoke the Great Dharmaraja again. If he truly angered them, even the Immortal Ancestor couldn't guarantee Yang Xian's safety. Faced with this choice, Gu An decided to temporarily endure and bide his time.
After Yang Xian recovered from his injuries, the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Ancestor began to guide his cultivation personally. Ten years later, the Immortal Ancestor departed.
Yang Xian resumed his cultivation journey, no longer focusing on personal hardships. Instead, he aimed to help the countless mortals in the Dahong World.
This cultivation journey lasted for tens of thousands of years.
At the age of 70,000, Yang Xian reached the ninth heaven of the Immortal Dao and attained the Freedom Immortal realm!
