Chapter 422: The Supreme Dao
The void vibrated, and along the path of the meteorite, circles of ripples visible to the naked eye spread out.
As it got closer, a hint of iron-blooded murderousness lingered in the air.
In a trance, everyone felt that they had come to a vast and horrifying battlefield, where blood and evil were intertwined, and rivers of blood ran across the sea of stars, with hundreds of millions of gods and demons lying dead.
A huge black sword supports the sky and the earth, like an immortal divine pillar that will never move!
Until the meteorite approached, the scene in front of me suddenly shattered.
Boom!
The ground beneath his feet was shaking, and it seemed that even the Inner Gate Continent suspended in the sky was about to fall under the pressure of this terrifying impact force.
The air flow was whistling and turbulent, and everything in front of my eyes was blurry.
Li Ke, the only one who could see everything clearly and was not affected, had a blank expression on his face. He felt happy but also a little sad at the same time.
The highest Tao is in the hands of all things, and attaining immortality is only a step away.
I am even further away.
At this moment she felt very awkward.
So he secretly made a decision in his heart and prepared to hit the dead fisherman harder later.
The heat wave rolled and spread in all directions.
Chi Jiuyu had a tense face, trying hard to maintain the image of the eldest senior sister of the Sword Master lineage. Zhang Yunlu stood behind her, but had already closed her eyes.
The next moment, the rolling heat wave suddenly subsided.
Tsk~!
It was like the sound of cold water being poured directly onto a red-hot iron block, dyeing it dark red. The completely stagnant spiritual energy lost its color and resumed its movement.
The surrounding flames faded away, revealing scars of varying sizes on the dark heavy armor. The figure standing in the middle looked like it was cast in black iron, carrying a heavy black sword on its back.
The gaze from under the visor was like a tempered sword, looking straight ahead through the two-finger-wide gap in the eye shield.
After scanning Li Ke, the deputy head of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall and many deacons, it finally stopped at Chi Jiuyu and Zhang Yunlu.
When they met that gaze, their breathing slowed down and their minds went blank.
"Whoo~"
It was not until Xu Xianning exhaled softly that their frozen thoughts began to move again.
What the hell!
Is this the senior sister?
So handsome!
Cold, majestic, and powerful!
This is the image of her dreams!
Chi Jiuyu exclaimed in his heart, but remained calm on the surface.
I am the eldest sister of the Sword Master lineage. I must stay calm. I must stay calm!
Soon, Xu Xianning walked up to Li Ke, and the heavy armor on her body made a slight sound like the collision of golden swords.
"I'm sorry, Junior Sister. I haven't been back for a long time, so the noise was a bit loud." The voice sounded dull and heavy through the visor.
She is about to become an immortal.
The Tao is overflowing, and coupled with the strict laws of the Central Continent, it has led to all kinds of strange phenomena.
Li Ke had no expression on his face: "It's okay."
As he said this, he looked at the deputy hall master beside him.
"Register."
"Yes."
In fact, the corresponding procedures had already been completed in the Sword Holding Hall, and the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall was only responsible for the reception.
Or depending on the wishes of the returnees, we can hold a welcoming ceremony or something...
But Xu Xianning obviously didn't have such thoughts. After saying something to Li Ke, she looked at Chi Jiuyu and Zhang Yunlu again.
"Master's disciple?"
"Yeah." Li Ke nodded slightly, then turned to look at Chi Jiuyu, "Siyu, why are you standing there pretending to be dead?!"
Chi Jiuyu was startled and reacted immediately, taking Zhang Yunlu forward.
“Ahem! Hello, Senior Sister. I am Chi Jiuyu, the eldest disciple of the Sword Master lineage, and this is my junior sister Zhang Yunlu.”
The aura was so strong that even her, the Nine Fish Ancestor, was a little intimidated.
"Hello, Senior Sister." Zhang Yunlu also bowed.
"My name is Xu Xianning, and I'm the eldest senior sister of the Sword Ancestor lineage." Xu Xianning also replied in a serious tone.
Xu Xianning...
hiss~
There must be something wrong with this name.
I was going to ask Master, but I was busy recently and forgot about it...
and many more!
Isn’t Master’s surname Xu?
Ning... This word is in Master's name!
That's it!
Li Ke instructed the deputy hall master beside him: "You go back first, I will handle this from now on."
The deputy hall master hesitated: "Hall Master..."
"All matters in the hall will be handled by you, the other two vice-chairmen, and the elders on my behalf."
"..."
In fact, you just want to take this opportunity to find an excuse to be lazy!
The deputy hall master grumbled in his heart, but eventually left with a group of deacons.
After everyone has gone away...
Xu Xianning reached out and pressed the visor to take it off. Chi Jiuyu and Zhang Yunlu stared at her curiously.
"You guys are going to participate in the Immortal Sect Competition?"
"That's right... yes, Senior Sister."
Now it’s a conversation between the two major branches of the Sword Sect and the eldest sister, so it has to be serious!
"I can help you with special training."
The voice was no longer as dull as before. Xu Xianning had taken off her mask, revealing her oval face with delicate features, but her dull eyes made her look a little stiff.
what?
Chi Jiuyu and Zhang Yunlu had a meal together.
It is difficult to connect the face in front of me with the stern and murderous figure before.
"Special training?" Chi Jiuyu finally reacted.
"You are also the eldest sister, but too weak." There was no fluctuation in the tone.
too weak?
Chi Jiuyu didn't feel angry or anything about this, he just felt a little weird.
"I'm only twenty-three years old, Senior Sister."
She, the Jiuyu Ancestor, is not bragging, who can beat her at the age of 23!
"Yeah." Xu Xianning looked at her in confusion, "Aren't you participating in the Spiritual Transformation Group?"
At this age, it is certainly amazing to reach the state of spiritual transformation.
But in the realm of transformation, from Xu Xianning's perspective, she seemed very weak.
Chi Jiuyu: "..."
It made so much sense that I couldn't even refute it.
After all, the opponent he will face next is at the Spirit Transformation Realm.
"Big sister, how did you know that I was going to participate in the Spiritual Transformation Group?"
"Xiao Ke mentioned it."
Oh?
Chi Jiuyu looked at Li Ke quietly.
But Li Ke also looked at her and smiled.
only……
This smile made her feel a little uneasy.
……
……
Dozens of minutes later, inside the Sword Ancestor Hall.
In a vast space that was exactly the same as the dojo in the Sword Master Hall, Xu Xing sat in the center, looking ahead.
Soon, someone walked in.
The first person who came in had a dull look in his eyes. It was Xu Xianning.
She had taken off her heavy armor and put on a brand new Sword Sect disciple uniform. Her actual body shape was not as strong as Chi Jiuyu had expected. She was light and slender yet powerful.
Walking in with her were Li Ke, Chi Jiuyu and Zhang Yunlu.
"Master..." Chi Jiuyu was about to say hello.
Xu Xianning quickly took two steps forward and knelt down.
Boom boom boom!
"Disciple has met the master."
The three literal "loud noises" stunned both Chi Jiuyu and Zhang Yunlu.
But soon, something even more terrifying happened to them.
Li Ke took two steps forward, knelt down and then... bang bang bang!
There were three consecutive hits, each one heavier than the last, and they sounded much louder than when Xu Xianning knocked her head.
Xu Xing: “…”
After so many years, we still have to fight over even this kind of thing.
Of course, the most confused ones were Chi Jiuyu and Zhang Yunlu, who had no idea what was going on.
After hesitating for a second, Zhang Yunlu asked: "Senior Sister, should we also..."
Is this some kind of rule?
"emm..."
Chi Jiuyu touched the back of his head, and when he realized something was wrong, he touched his forehead again.
"This one……"
She had been having some brain problems lately, and she didn't want her supreme wisdom to be extinguished.
"Uncle-master, can you be gentler when we kowtow to Xiao Yunlu?" Chi Jiuyu asked loudly.
"Okay, this has nothing to do with you."
"what?"
It turns out there’s no need to kowtow.
After coming to her senses, she quickly took Zhang Yunlu to the side.
Xu Xianning and Li Ke, who had just been kneeling on the ground and kowtowed loudly, also stood up at this time.
Xu Xing looked at them, and finally set his eyes on Xu Xianning: "This time we have to advance and not retreat. When will we start?"
It is difficult to pass the immortal gate, just like the unity with the Tao. It is difficult to say how many years it will take.
Maybe thousands of years have been wasted.
"Leave the inheritance behind for after the competition."
"Do we really want to give them special training?"
"Yes." Xu Xianning's dull eyes seemed to become more lively. "I am a dull disciple. For many years, I have not fulfilled my duties as a senior sister and taught my fellow disciples how to practice. But now they all have their own paths to take and no longer need my guidance."
She looked at Chi Jiuyu and Zhang Yunlu standing beside her.
"My two junior sisters are still young, so maybe they can inherit my skills. Even if I fail to pass the test in the future, if someone can pass on my skills to me, it will not be in vain for my cultivation in this life."
Even though he is already the most powerful one in the Dao, he still only has a glimmer of hope.
How difficult it is to attain enlightenment and become an immortal.
"What bullshit are you talking about!" Li Ke raised an eyebrow and cursed, "I thought you were finally becoming a little more normal, but it turns out you're still a little bit stupid!"
"I've been chasing you for so many years just to win you over once, and you want to cheat and not play anymore?"
"You are the master's disciple after all, but you don't even have this much self-confidence. You might as well just defect and leave the sect, so as not to bring disgrace to the family!"
Everything that happened was seen by the two people standing by.
Although I couldn't hear any sound, I could still roughly understand what was happening.
Why did they start arguing?
Xu Xianning let her scold him for a long time, until she couldn't scold him anymore, then she slowly said: "It's hard to knock on the immortal gate..."
She wanted to say something, but when she saw Li Ke staring at her, she changed her words.
"Xiao Ke, I will try my best."
The tone was very serious.
She had never been good with words, and for her, this was the best guarantee she could make.
"Alright, alright, why are you making it so tragic?" Looking at his two disciples, Xu Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Practice is a gradual process, just relax."
It hasn’t even started yet.
"Your senior sister has been practicing for so long and has never failed in the face of numerous obstacles. Haven't you never defeated her once in all these years?"
Li Ke: “…”
Master, you are really good at advising others, but please don’t say it again in the future.
"Okay, when Xian Ning becomes an immortal, our Sword Sect will be a sect with three True Immortals, and we will have room to make further progress in some matters."
"Yeah." Xu Xianning nodded slightly.
Although there was only a glimmer of hope, she was still quite confident in herself.
"By the way, don't we need special training?" Xu Xing said again.
Then he waved his hand and grabbed Chi Jiuyu and Zhang Yunlu who were watching the show nearby.
"Just stay here. I'll take care of them. They'll feel it more deeply when they're beaten to death."
The two were still in a daze, and their expressions changed when they heard this.
What does it mean that you can experience things more deeply when you are beaten to death?
"Uncle-master, what are you doing?" Chi Jiuyu asked hurriedly.
Could it be that he got angry after having an argument and took his anger out on himself and Xiao Yunlu?
"Of course it's special training."
Special training?
"It's a rare opportunity, so take advantage of it."
Before they could react, Xu Xing waved his hand again, and the four of them disappeared.
The space that seemed lively just now suddenly became deserted.
a long time.
"Ah~"
With a light sigh, Xu Xing flicked his fingers and emitted a mysterious light that extended in front of him.
He is indeed not qualified when it comes to mediating psychological problems for his disciples.
Just like when Jing Hai met his current Taoist partner, he was a little slow in this area and couldn't figure out his own feelings, so he came to ask him for advice.
The master and the apprentice studied it for a long time but couldn't figure out the key point.
In the end, he had to cheat and use a little trick of a True Immortal to solve the problem.
Thinking of this, Xu Xing couldn't help but feel a headache.
He is not a perfect man. On the contrary, he is very greedy, and he must bear the corresponding consequences.
From ancient times to the present, many things have been made clear, and there is no escape from it. You can't cheat with the methods of a true immortal...
In fact, he was sometimes really curious about how Hongzun's family managed to be so happy.
I sighed again in my heart.
Xu Xing suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind and focused on the situation on the mysterious light screen in front of him.
This time... let's continue to blame it on 'Daowang'.
Shortly after.
A figure appeared silently, sat down beside him, and also looked into the light curtain.
"Are Xian Ning and Xiao Ke giving special training to the traitor and Yun Lu?"
"Ah."
…………
In a gray space with no clear boundaries.
Chi Jiuyu looked around curiously for a while, and when he found nothing different, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
There is no special feature at all. At worst, just hang a moon there like in the previous secret realm!
Of course, just use it for decoration, don’t really throw the moon shadow in.
She always felt that Uncle Master Yueying had a lot of opinions about her...
He must be jealous of her supreme wisdom!
Chi Jiuyu thought of a possibility that could convince himself.
Just as she was daydreaming, the ubiquitous gray fog dissipated a little, revealing several figures.
Senior Sister, Senior Sister Li, and Xiao Yunlu.
oh oh!
It's for special training.
"Let's get started. I'm going to 'train' this dead fish." The rolling gray fog gathered and condensed into a bright sword in Li Ke's hand.
That's not right. I am the eldest sister of the Sword Master lineage, and I should fight with the eldest sister!
"I want to be with you..."
Buzz~!
The sound of the sword whistling drowned out her words, and a long line of light with unparalleled sharpness appeared before her eyes in an instant.
The power contained in it is exactly the same as Chi Jiuyu's current state of the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation!
What the hell!
He actually started fighting right away! (End of this chapter)
