Chapter 261: Chapter 177: Demi Immortals are also Ants_3

"Lacking one level, how can she win?"

Gu Wen said, "At the least, she needs to elevate her realm to the Eighth Level of Seven Dao Foundations, or even to the Eighth Level fulfilled, surpassing her sister by one level."

He also didn’t think that Chi Yu Zi had a chance at this stage. She indeed possessed the strength to exceed two levels, but her opponent was a Demi Immortal on the verge of becoming an Immortal, not a mediocre. It was likely she couldn’t defeat someone of the same rank. Surpassing by one level might give her some hope.

Using one higher level to bridge the gap, was like those old beings whom Gu Wen had surpassed; they used their deep foundations to compensate for the talent gap with Gu Wen.

If they were the same age, they would, like most geniuses who hadn’t entered the top ten on the double leaderboards, only be able to watch on from a far distance as people like Gu Wen surged ahead.

So far, everyone who had dealt with Gu Wen was among the top ten.

Faced with a Demi Immortal, these prodigies might need a higher realm to defeat the opponent, but this was an impossible matter. The Demi Immortal had already reached the limit of the Dao foundation of Immortal Land. Up till now, only Yu Hua had fulfilled the Nine Levels of Dao Foundation.

That was the realm of Immortals, only a step away, yet separated by an enormous gulf.

"It depends on whether she can succeed by surpassing one realm. However, losing the five senses might prove troublesome; it’s unknown if she can recover after restoring the three souls and seven spirits."

"We can only proceed with this plan, but before that, we have our own matters to attend to."

Jun Yan’s Divine Thought stirred as he always monitored the movements of the Devil Clan, the opponent had come back with a vengeance at this moment.

The mountains trembled, and dust flew. A Qing python led the way with a fox woman standing on its head.

"All with the Eighth Level of Seven Dao Foundations, bodies of devil saints, they probably didn’t send their true bodies, but these are avatars possessing soul separations. That Baidi Xun is not here, instead, there’s an additional Vine Demon."

Jun Yan mumbled to himself while sharing the view with others, like a radar that could penetrate everywhere.

"Pick your enemies, try to choose the stronger ones, or else we won’t be able to split them up sufficiently."

"This time I brought a Taoist Sword imbued with the essence of the Sword Dao Venerable, which can be used to restrain the Qing python."

Xiao Yunyi spoke up first, sincerely taking on the toughest opponent.

He came prepared this time, specifically bringing a ’sect Patriarch,’ which was the Taoist Sword infused with the essence of the Sword Dao Venerable. Broken Sword Mountain had always followed the Sword Master, hence giving birth to swords stronger than Taoist Swords but had not become Immortals.

They called these swords in Broken Sword Mountain, Half-Immortal Swords.

A sword was Half-Immortal, but due to issues in forging the sword body, many retained only a bit of consciousness, unable to act independently, akin to being in a daze.

He thought to himself: If I can stop a devil saint this time, I can invite Brother Hongchen back to Broken Sword Mountain; wouldn’t he be able to spar with the Immortal Sword daily?

Chan Xi spoke concisely, "I can restrain Ao Heng."

"That still leaves the Ten Thousand Demons, the fox demon, and the Vine Demon, all tricky opponents."

Jun Yan frowned; pondering for a few moments, he realized they couldn’t handle the distribution, as Xiao Yunyi and Chan Xi had already picked the more troublesome ones.

He couldn’t handle the Ten Thousand Demons and another powerful entity simultaneously, and both the fox demon and Vine Demon were beyond what Gu Wen could confront.

One devil saint had an Eighth Level of Six Dao Foundations, the other was a Jianmu incarnation, as Gu Wen mentioned, with a Seventh Level of Seven Dao Foundations.

"I can release a few old monsters to deal with the Ten Thousand Demons and the fox woman; I might not be able to suppress any more than that. The Vine Demon is four levels above you; can you handle it?"

"The Vine Demon can be left to me; it’s just a fight to the death, not the first time anyway."

Gu Wen grinned, already prepared to give up one of his senses; otherwise, what had he learned for?

After losing his sense of taste, he wouldn’t fear the bitterness of Spiritual Medicine.

"Wait, perhaps we don’t need to fight to the death."

As Jun Yan spoke, the massive body of the Qing python had already smashed into the Grotto Heaven, with a multitude of devils in the forms of jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards following closely behind.

Suddenly, a glint of Buddha’s light followed swiftly, moving extremely fast and surpassing the Ten Thousand Demons, entering the Grotto Heaven ahead and landing before Gu Wen and the others.

Boom!

The earth cracked, dust flying everywhere; a giant Buddha brushed aside the dust, a hundred-zhang body blocking the cave entrance, a sword slash causing the Ten Thousand Demons to retreat.

"Amitabha Buddha."

A distant voice like the toll of an ancient temple’s bronze bell resonated, and above the gigantic Buddha, a figure trod through the air.

A Nun in a white and golden Kasaya, her eyes like water apricots, bright as glass, her face like a silver platter, purer than snow, and her lips red, smiled as if joyful yet not.

A disciple of the Buddhist Sect, Jade Sword Buddha.

She walked through the air, barefoot, with each step producing a lotus, eventually landing ten steps from Gu Wen, taking out two Spirit Fruits from her embrace.

"Benefactor Gu, long time no see; here are your Spirit Fruits."

Gu Wen blinked, pointing at himself, somewhat incredulously asking, "Does the master still remember me?"

The Buddha Demon in one entity, she follows the empty sect; Jade Sword Buddha wouldn’t remember anyone, as memories also disappear when fates dissipate.

Thus, she didn’t remember teaching Gu Wen the Buddha Sword.

"I haven’t forgotten the promises made to Benefactor."

Jade Sword Buddha nodded, her gaze clear, devoid of any distractions.

That day in the market, she had promised to give Gu Wen a Spirit Fruit each month; naturally, she wouldn’t forget.
