Chapter 640: Chapter 350 Immortal Fate! Sword Cultivator! _2

There was a thatched cottage atop the hill.

Outside the cottage, a man wearing a bamboo hat and a blue Taoist robe sat cross-legged on the ground, staring intently at a long sword planted in front of him without moving.

"Senior Brother Zhang!"

"I’ve brought the medicine."

Zhou Xuan brought his smiling self closer to the sword-watching man after putting away his wooden boat.

The man shifted slightly, coming out of a certain profound state.

He hurriedly stood up and greeted Zhou Xuan with a smile.

Zhang Long looked at this man who shared his surname and felt that the person was extremely sharp, making his eyes hurt with just one glance.

At the same time, Zhou Xuan whispered an explanation in Zhang Long’s ear.

This man was the unparalleled talent discovered by the Immortal Leader of the Yunlai Immortal Sect during the conduct of the Evil Extermination Thousand Sword Array.

According to the Immortal Leader,

this Senior Brother Zhang Qiuzhen, possessed an innate Sharp Gold Sword Body, a rare talent even in the Immortal Cultivation World.

He was highly regarded by the sect.

Currently, he was in charge of supervising the Evil Extermination Thousand Sword Arrays in various regions surrounding the South Sea.

All the relevant Taoist temples were under his responsibility.

Indeed, Senior Brother Zhang Qiuzhen had a special constitution.

His sole pursuit was the cultivation of the sword.

He practiced harshly in the Grotto Heaven of the sect.

Even after coming out of the Grotto Heaven, he continued his rigorous practice.

Zhou Xuan, however, understood.

If he too could feel his cultivation improving leaps and bounds day and night,

he would probably be as enthusiastic in his cultivation as this senior brother.

It had only been ten days.

Yet, Zhou Xuan could already feel that Senior Brother Zhang’s sharpness had become even more pronounced.

Even though he had prepared in advance, he still felt the sharp threat.

Zhang Qiuzhen also noticed the discomfort of Zhou Xuan and Zhang Long.

All he could do was offer a wry smile and say,

"Lately I have been continuously contemplating the Evil-Slaying Sword given by our master."

"It’s hard to completely contain the Sword Intent, I apologize for the inconvenience."

"Um, this person..."

Zhang Qiudao looked curiously at Zhang Long.

Zhou Xuan knew that he preferred tranquility and usually did not bring people over to disturb him.

Zhou Xuan quickly explained Zhang Long’s situation via telepathy.

This made Zhang Qiudao’s eyes light up, and he immediately directed his Divine Sense towards Zhang Long.

Regrettably, even though Zhang Qiudao received extra attention from Su Ping due to his unique talents,

during this time, not only had his main body developed Divine Sense, reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm,

but he could also harness the power of the Golden Core level through the Outer Pill Method and the Divine Statue of the True Martial Demon Suppression Emperor through the Art of Blessing.

And in critical moments, he was able to gather the momentum of the Evil Extermination Thousand Sword Array into a single point, unleashing a full-force Nascent Soul Realm strike.

Yet he still could not discern anything unusual about Zhang Long.

However, he trusted that Zhou Xuan wouldn’t lie,

so he chose to believe that it was just his own realm that was not high enough.

Then his gaze softened as he looked at Zhang Long.

After all, this might be a junior brother from his own Immortal Sect.

Although he was solely focused on cultivation, it didn’t mean he understood nothing else.

After receiving the pills Zhou Xuan brought,

Zhang Qiuzhen invited Zhou Xuan and Zhang Long into the thatched cottage.

Upon entering,

Zhang Long cursed silently in his mind.

But he felt the air in the modest space of the cottage seemed different,

making him want to greedily take deep breaths, feeling extremely refreshed all over.

With a thought, he cautiously asked Zhou Xuan,

"Taoist... Taoist, this is Spiritual Energy, right?"

Zhou Xuan nodded and said,

"Senior Brother has Spirit Stones, and he had people set up a Spirit Gathering Array on this island."

"That’s why we have such an effect."

"But wait until you go to the Grotto Heaven of our sect, then you will know what a true Immortal treasure land is like."

"Alright, time is precious, let’s all sit down and listen to our senior brother’s teachings."

Zhou Xuan sat down cross-legged first.

Zhang Long quickly followed suit.

Then, inside the thatched cottage, Zhang Qiuzhen began to share his experiences and insights from the recent period.

From time to time, he also answered questions posed by Zhou Xuan.

Zhang Long, sitting cross-legged next to Zhou Xuan, felt that every word spoken by these two was something he should recognize.

But when they were put together, it made him feel like he had become illiterate.

However, as if enchanted, the words spoken by Senior Brother Zhang.

Zhang Long found it as if it were etched into his own mind.

It allowed him to recall it at any time.

This made him secretly amazed and suspect that this might be the reason why Taoist Zhouxuan had brought him along just to make up the numbers.

Having this outside, that’s definitely a fortuitous encounter!

It’s just uncertain how strong Senior Brother Zhang is, how much his experiences could help in my future path of immortal cultivation?

Having listened, Zhang Long spent an entire day listening.

It wasn’t until the afternoon of the next day that they came out of the thatched hut.

What puzzled Zhang Long was that he had not eaten all day, yet he was still full of energy, vibrant and vigorous.

Just as Zhang Long was feeling happy, he suddenly saw Senior Brother Zhang’s expression turn solemn.

Then he gazed intently towards the distant sea horizon.

"What’s wrong?"

Feeling the atmosphere was a bit eerie, Zhang Long curiously asked Zhouxuan.

Zhouxuan was also unsure and looked towards Zhang Qiuzhen’s figure.

Then they heard Zhang Qiuzhen’s explanation:

"It’s fine, it’s just a minor spatial rift that will appear in the distant sea."

"Don’t worry, it’s not a big issue."

After listening to the message offhandedly sent from the moon’s surface by Su Ping, Zhang Qiuzhen’s expression also relaxed.

To Zhang Qiuzhen, the Immortal Leader would not deceive people.

And if it were only of the intensity of the previous few times,

after activating the Evil Extermination Thousand Sword Array, he should be able to deal with it cleanly with a single sword.

This, however, was Su Ping utilizing an ordinary Abyss Challenge Scroll in his hand.

Though for the current Su Ping, the rewards of an ordinary Abyss challenge were no longer enticing,

but isn’t even the meat of a mosquito meat after all?

And what’s most crucial for Su Ping,

for ordinary challenges, he no longer needed to take action personally.

Whether placing the location on the Sakura Country’s Sakura snow mountain,

or putting it in the sea within the enveloping range of the Evil Extermination Thousand Sword Array,

he, Su Ping, could profit without moving a muscle!

Since it was just a matter of speaking, there was even less reason not to do it.

And occasionally opening a spatial rift on Water Blue Star,

also helped to enhance the public’s sense of crisis and slow down the rate at which powerhouses became corrupt and slack.

"Senior Brother Zhang has taken flight!"

Zhang Long saw Zhang Qiuzhen wave his right hand, and the long sword stuck in the ground flew into his hands.

After that, Zhang Qiuzhen actually flew directly up into the air, a thousand meters high.

He casually waved his long sword.

Suddenly, the previously calm surroundings of the island.

Seemed to suddenly change as if a storm was approaching!

A solemn and majestic aura enveloping the whole world made Zhang Long tense, only daring to hide behind Zhouxuan, quietly watching Senior Brother Zhang in the sky, as if he were a Sword Immortal character out of a novel.

"Sword Array, activate!"

A mighty and solemn voice came from all around.

Accompanied by his voice, the sky suddenly lit up.

Zhang Long looked closely.

To his surprise, what lit up were swords emitting a faint blue light!

Some of these sword shadows were up to a hundred meters long, and the shortest were several tens of meters long.

They appeared in the high sky like stars in the heavens.

While Zhang Long was stunned,

in the offices of various major powers of Water Blue Star, people also filled the room, watching this scene captured from every conceivable angle.

"Evil Extermination Thousand Sword Array."

"One of the big Arrays left by the Immortal Sect for us on Water Blue Star to use against the Evil Demons..."

"Every time I see it, I still find it shockingly indescribable."

"That Sword Holder... must be the Taoist Zhang we mentioned before."

"I heard he might be the most talented among us on Water Blue Star."

An expert, watching the imposing Zhang Qiuzhen in the live feed, whispered:

"It would be even better if he could come back more often."

"We hope so, too, but Taoist Zhang would rather live on a small island in the ocean than come back."

"But we’re still doing what we should to show goodwill, and we still believe in his feelings for us."

As the experts were discussing,

within just tens of breaths of time,

the blue sword shadows in the sky underwent new changes.

They gathered around Zhang Qiuzhen, hovering and circling.

With Zhang Qiuzhen forming a Sword Finger, he pointed in a certain direction.

The circling blue sword shadows suddenly accelerated their rotation and coalesced into a kilometer-long giant sword,

which then tore through the air, slashed across the sea surface, and hurtled towards a distant part of the ocean!
