Dao Equaling the Heavens
Chapter 482 - 64: The Banished Immortal of the Human Race!

Chapter 482: Chapter 64: The Banished Immortal of the Human Race!

Jiang Jucai soared through the air, his Returning to Void Stage cultivation allowing him to fly unimpeded, without worrying about mana depletion.

Foundation Establishment cultivators can only fly ten thousand feet using Artifact Controlling, Golden Core cultivators can fly just below the Nine Heavens, Nascent Soul cultivators struggle to leave their true body by ten miles, only Returning to Void cultivators can roam the heavens and earth, hence they’re called True Monarchs.

Leaving the Jiang family a hundred miles away, suddenly a figure appeared ahead, standing on the clouds, holding a sword and glaring coldly at him, locked by a powerful Sword Intent.

Xie Yunnan, the number one of the younger generation.

As always, she wore the attire of a Broken Sword Mountain sword cultivator, a white robe flowing gracefully, standing with a three-foot white rainbow sword, holding a rectangular document in her left hand.

Jiang Jucai was slightly startled, according to his estimation, the news would take another half day to reach True Martial Palace,

Mr. Wen already knew.

He pulled a bitter smile and said, "Looks like I’ve overestimated myself again."

"Jiang Jucai, colluding with Evil Cultivators, cannibalizing and refining corpses, deserving of... a thousand deaths!"

The words "a thousand deaths" were spoken coldly and heavily, accompanied by boundless Sword Qi. The Sky Dome brightened slightly, a hundred-zhang sword light slashed horizontally through the clouds.

Jiang Jucai cast a Miracle Method, and with a flick of his finger, several Xuanhuang Turtle Shields appeared in front of him.

Rumble!

The explosion dispersed the surrounding clouds and mist, and the turtle shields cracked with a fissure. Jiang Jucai’s eyes revealed a slight surprise, followed by admiration: "Indeed, the number one of the current generation is different."

Between attack and defense, attack always holds an advantage over defense, and sword cultivators excel in assault, often opting for entanglement fights.

But Nascent Soul against Returning to Void, there’s a great realm of Divine Separation in between. That Xie Yunnan can still tie with him shows her high talent and sharp Sword Dao.

Among millions of cultivators, hundreds of thousands of talents, even among the top Heavenly Pride of the current age, she stood out, compared to himself as different as cloud and mud.

In the same realm, he couldn’t withstand a single move, spanning a realm, he would likely lose.

Now able to withstand, even win, provided Broken Sword Mountain hadn’t endowed this heir with extremely powerful means.

"You yourself don’t practice evil magic, truly cunning."

Xie Yunnan frowned, finally understanding why Daoist Sect had not discovered the Jiang family’s problem until now.

Firstly, it’s concealed, involving a very small scope, and secondly, because Jiang Jucai practices genuine Daoist Sect cultivation technique.

Jiang Jucai did not refute, saying, "Inspector Xie, please give me some time, before I die, I will drag out some demons."

"Atoning for your deeds, but you must still die."

"I understand."

"Lead the way."

"Impossible." Jiang Jucai shook his head and said, "I have not agreed on a location with that demon. If you follow me, you’ll only alert them, better to let me go alone."

"Let you escape easily?" Xie Yunnan did not believe, "Lead the way, I have my means to conceal our presence."

...

Jiang Jucai hesitated for a moment, thinking whether he could briefly trap Xie Yunnan, so as not to ruin his plan.

These old demons are extremely cunning and cherish their lives, once they sense anything wrong, they would escape thousands of miles, or even feign death for hundreds of years.

This is why Daoist Sect has always been unable to exterminate them. The hardest to kill creature in the world is not a tiger, but a mouse.

An Evil Cultivator True Monarch might at least deserve a tombstone.

Clang!

Xie Yunnan’s spiritual sword emitted a purple light, its aura already resembling Taoist Realm.

Jiang Jucai sighed, silently leading the way by flying escape, hoping that this heir of Broken Sword Mountain truly has the prowess of a Sword Immortal, else he wouldn’t even get a tombstone after his death.

Xie Yunnan hid among the clouds, letting out a breath of relief, her thoughts saying:

"Junior Master Gu, am I really capable of fighting a True Monarch?"

Unbidden thoughts arose stealthily.

Gu Wen replied: "Weren’t you doing well just now? As long as you keep using swordsmanship of this level, he won’t be able to fight back."

"He was only defending and not attacking earlier. If we truly fight, I will surely lose. And I can only use such powerful swordsmanship three times in a short period."

Xie Yunnan felt her body weakened, her legs soft.

She was indeed the number one of the current generation, but not the number one under heaven.

Crossing two great realms to fight a True Monarch was the legendary feat of Gu Wen, not something she could accomplish.

Gu Wen said, "At the time, I also defeated the enemy like this. This generation’s young people just don’t have the physical strength."

Back then, he fought across realms without protection, even a slight touch would cripple him. It was a matter of life and death.

Once caught in a prolonged battle, Gu Wen would likely be the one to die.

...

Xie Yunnan was speechless, doubting the teaching methods of Immortal Cang.

After all, no one is perfect, perhaps Immortal Cang isn’t good at teaching.

Normally, elders would instruct their disciples about fighting, never about crossing realms to defeat enemies, rather urging them not to face higher cultivation opponents directly.

Because the advantage brought by cultivation is too significant, anyone attempting to cross realms must pay an enormous price, a slight mistake leading to disability.

At such times, normally elders would step in.

The difference between disciples of major sects and grassroots.

Though Gu Wen was a disciple of an Immortal, at heart he was still a heroic adventurer, moreover, a daredevil.

Traveling eight hundred miles, crossing thousands of mountains and towns, at the edge of Danqing State, near Huajian State.

Suddenly a Divine Thought arrived, like a gust of yin wind, sending chills down Jiang Jucai’s spine.

"You have arrived."

The next moment, a demonic wind swept up, dragging Jiang Jucai into the ground, disappearing.

Before Xie Yunnan could react, the forest below quaked, half the mountain upended, countless trees dragged into the soil.

A figure wrapped in yin qi was thrown out, Jiang Jucai struck with a palm like cloud-clapping, dispersing the yin qi, revealing an old monster in a purple robe.

Then his hand moved smoothly, flipping out a gold needle which flew into the old monster’s forehead, transforming into three golden flowers.
