Chapter 726: Chapter 316: Sly and Crafty (Seeking Subscriptions)_2

He knew he had struck it big.

Although they might not obtain the Stone Heart Blood, they had blundered into a “Supreme Immortal Fate” with Chu Xisheng.

It should be noted that whether it is the Stone Heart Blood or the Time Trace Grass, both are creations of the Wood Sword Immortal and the Secret Realm Master, who could summon them with a mere gesture.

At the same time, several bare branches suddenly descended from above, intertwining to form a gigantic palm with a small half-acre span, which landed in front of Chu Xisheng.

Chu Xisheng’s expression shifted slightly, and he stepped onto it without any hesitation.

The interlaced giant palm carried him swiftly upwards, up to five hundred yards high, reaching into the clouds above.

Chu Xisheng found that the trunk of the ‘Wood Sword Immortal’ was far more than five hundred yards; it extended into the depths of the clouds, with an unknown height.

Just as the hand was lifting him into the clouds, it suddenly paused.

Chu Xisheng saw a figure materialize before him: a short stature, so plump that it resembled a ball.

Chu Xisheng recognized this person; wasn’t he Li Changsheng, the Sect Master of the Formless Divine Sect?

However, this one looked much younger, around eighteen years of age, and his cultivation was cleverly concealed.

Chu Xisheng’s eyebrows rose slightly, and enlightenment dawned in his heart.

He guessed that this person, like the previous Blood Vengeance Blade Lord, was plucked from past time fragments by the master of the Secret Realm to obstruct him.

Chu Xisheng’s scalp tingled, and his face grew somber.

Although Sect Master Li Changsheng was not well-known in his youth and only came to prominence in his thirties,

it was said that at that time, several great elders fought vehemently for the position of Sect Master, trapping and undermining each other, causing chaos.

In the end, the previous Sect Master bypassed them all, handing the Divine Illusion Sword to Li Changsheng.

At that time, the members of the sect at the Super Heavenly Pillar level were not convinced; who did they think Li Changsheng was? He was just a Third Grade at the Heavenly Pillar Level.

Yet Li Changsheng defeated them one by one in a series of sparring matches.

Only then did everyone realize that he was a hidden talent, possessing not only the complete “Pingtian” Holy Transmission but also having cultivated the “Measuring Heaven” and the “Heaven Punishment” to the second level—close to entry-level and approaching the Holy Transmission Level.

Thus, no one knew the actual strength of the young Li Changsheng.

But today, he was about to find out—

As Chu Xisheng thought this, he clasped his fist towards Li Changsheng and said, “Disciple Chu Xisheng, greets Sect Master.”

After Li Changsheng appeared, he was somewhat bewildered.

Upon hearing Chu Xisheng’s words, his eyes brightened, “Sect Master? Interesting, so I actually became the Sect Master in the future? Lu Shouyang and Aox Guo, those two fools, truly are not my match. By the way, how is my junior sister Su Fengdao? Did she manage to cultivate the Heaven Punishing Saint Transmission?”

Chu Xisheng’s lips twitched upon hearing this, but he did not respond.

His Supreme Divine Sense felt that now, whatever he said would be inappropriate.

“You are a disciple of the Formless Divine Sect, so I shouldn’t really engage with you,” said Li Changsheng with a stern look, resting his hand on his sword. “However, I am a Mirror Image summoned by Zhu Guangyin and have no control over myself; I have to heed its commands and stop you here, so don’t hold back later on.

I wonder what you’ve done to make Zhu Guangyin expend Divine Power to summon my Time Mirror Image. By the way, what Sword Skill are you skilled in? A junior like you, to be targeted by Zhu Guangyin in such a manner, must surely possess extraordinary talent and combat strength.”

Chu Xisheng’s eyes flickered and his right hand also rested on the hilt of his saber, the ‘Three-Phases Martial Intent’ swirling around him. His gaze was intense and his demeanor respectful, “Please be cautious, Sect Master! The disciple has cultivated the Heaven Punishing Saint Transmission. My blade remains sheathed, but once drawn, it takes life!”

Li Changsheng raised an eyebrow, glancing at the metal ring hovering behind Chu Xisheng.

This dusky gold ring was evenly divided into nine segments, emanating a faint spiritual glow.

Li Changsheng, having started his training way before Qin Muge, had never seen this ‘Nine Heavens Thought Wheel.’

He wondered, what is this thing? What’s it for?

Li Changsheng soon disregarded the thought, assuming it must be some kind of Magic Artifact, querying require caution but is not too concerning. He nodded slightly, “So you are also cultivating the Heaven Punishing Saint Transmission! This Three-Phases Martial Intent has reached the Tenth Layer; your foundation is quite solid. Come then, let me see your blade.”

Chu Xisheng’s lips curled slightly, “Then I will not be polite, Elder!”

The moment the words were spoken, the blade at Chu Xisheng’s waist resonated with a sharp ‘clang.’

There were no referees here, no rules, and both drew their sword and saber almost simultaneously.

Just as Chu Xisheng’s blade struck, Li Changsheng saw the Sword Evil condensing on it.

—Is that the ‘Formless Divine Blade Evil’?

It was a type of Sword Evil that his junior sister Su Fengdao had conceived.

He recalled that during their venture into the Secret Realm Second Layer, Su Fengdao had told him about it, mentioning the ‘Three-Phase Flowing Gold Evil’ as its foundation, combining several types of Killing Power to forge an unprecedented Sword Evil!

Had it been completed already?

This young fellow must be a disciple from Su Fengdao’s lineage.

Without hesitation, Li Changsheng’s strike was like thunder and lightning, aiming for Chu Xisheng!

What he wielded was the ‘Divine Wind Life-taking Saber’!

And it was the Extreme Move ‘One Strike Kills Ten Thousand’ that he had incorporated into the ‘Divine Wind Life-taking Saber’!

He used a sword in place of a saber, not confined to the weapon in hand, unleashing Sword Skill with the blade he wielded.

The Heaven Punishment Blade’s speed was incredibly fast and overwhelmingly powerful.

Especially the first five strikes, enormously potent, are the hardest to guard against, known as unrivaled in the world for their first five strikes.
