Chapter 881: Chapter 755: Great Sun Golden Crow

Fang Xi wore an expressionless face as he observed the excited visages of the surrounding cultivators, then noticed Jianzi maneuvering the Escape Light to position himself directly in front of the Red Sun, negotiating with the Taoist Master of the Great Sun Fire Body.

Yet in his heart, his thoughts churned endlessly:

"Why is Jianzi targeting me... Could it be related to the past anomaly with the fifth-generation Green Barley Sword?"

"After all, this treasure from the Sword Pavilion is not the same as the Treasures of All Heavens; it hasn’t completely recognized a master... So when the fragment of the same origin approaches, does it remind the other?"

"This Jianzi must have a broken sword from the treasures of the Sword Pavilion on him... Could it also be a part of the fifth-generation Green Barley Sword?"

"Does my Green Barley Sword have a connection with the Sword Pavilion? Changqingzi’s memories don’t seem to include such impressions..."

Fang Xi felt he either focused only on cultivation secret skills when he went through the memories, missing such a crucial detail.

Obviously, that seemed unlikely.

Or it was something that even Changqingzi didn’t know.

After all, the Earth Immortal Realm was vast, perhaps Changqingzi had never encountered this broken sword within the Sword Pavilion in his lifetime.

It seemed that, according to the legends, this sword had always been sealed deep within the Sword Pavilion until Jianzi was born and received recognition, earning the right to carry it outside.

’As for the current Changqingzi... he doesn’t have the fifth-generation Green Barley Sword on him, so even if he met Jianzi, there wouldn’t be a resonance between the swords...’

’Now, in Jianzi’s eyes, my identity as the Wang Family Ancestor is just an intermediate Returning to Emptiness cultivator, with a suspected fragment of a treasure from the Immortal Mansion on me... Isn’t that like delivering myself to his doorstep?’

’After this battle, if he survives, he will certainly not overlook me.’

’This is a bit troublesome... Could it be time to abandon this identity of the Wang Family Ancestor?’

Fang Xi’s gaze grew heavier.

Meanwhile, with a resounding hum of a sword, countless cultivators swiftly retreated on their pavilions and towers.

It was better not to be involved in the clash between two complete Returning to Emptiness cultivators.

Fortunately, the fights between human cultivators at the Returning to Emptiness stage had certain restrictions. After all, starting a battle with extensive collateral damage could easily lead to disaster.

At this moment, the cultivators silently proceeded to various locations, beginning to set up Array Flags and Array Disks...

Soon after, a purple light barrier emerged, seemingly capable of enveloping the heavens.

"This Purple Flame Formation... is said to even withstand the aftermath of Integration cultivators’ battles," Bai Yusheng commented, pointing at the world around him with excitement.

Fang Xi looked at the purple barrier and nodded involuntarily.

This was a seventh-rank Array that he was currently unable to arrange.

...

High above, the fierce winds of the stratosphere blew cold.

Jianzi and Taoist Master stood opposite each other in the air, sizing each other up.

"You are impressive, but your misfortune lies in being born in the same era as me. I will defeat you, forge an unobstructed Dao heart, and then defeat Fang Immortal Taoist Master, claiming the place of one of the five sons... Step by step, I will reach the most pinnacle and glorious position among the human race!"

A gleam flashed in the eyes of Jianzi as he cut off all superfluous thoughts from his mind.

At that moment, whether it be matters of the Sword Pavilion, discovering a mid-stage Returning to Emptiness cultivator potentially harboring a fragment of a Supreme Treasure, or his past kin and loved ones... these were all trivial, swept away by a single sword stroke!

"Sword Pavilion’s Jianzi..."

On the other hand, the Taoist Master from the Flaming Jade Sect sneered, "You once cut down a Monster Clan Integration being with your sword, but still let it escape... I, though not as renowned externally, have only refined several Monster cultivators at complete Returning to Emptiness... But did you know, I have encountered a wounded Monster Clan Integration cultivator and turned it to ashes!"

Each time the Taoist Master spoke, his aura grew more intense.

Eventually, a Red Sun seemed to rise behind him, its radiance stunning, forcing onlookers to avert their gaze.

Then, within his palm, a red-skinned gourd materialized.

Initially no larger than a child’s fist, the gourd quickly expanded to the size of a house upon receiving a Magic Spell, releasing scores of red clouds from its mouth.

Within these clouds lay innumerable complicated and exquisite ancient seal scripts, each shining with brilliance.

Red Clouds Around the Sun!

This was almost a phenomenon of heaven and earth, accompanied by an indescribable Spiritual Pressure, the peak Divine Skill secretly transmitted within the Flaming Jade Sect—the Great Sun Dharma Body!

"A seventh-rank Integration Treasure—Ninety-nine Red Cloud Gourds?"

Jianzi scoffed, "No matter how many Divine Skills you have, I shall break them all with a single sword!"

Ultimately, every sword cultivator must cultivate an Unrivalled Sword Intent, with the final goal to break all laws with one sword!

His body was surrounded by a flashing White Light, and his Sword Qi roared, tearing the Void apart.

The clusters of red clouds attempting to close in within ten miles of him were immediately shattered.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared on Jianzi’s right hand, and a bloodstain emerged along his right arm.

The bloodstain abruptly opened, releasing a beam of dark green light—a short Flying Sword of about a foot in length flew out!

This Flying Sword was entirely emerald green, lacking a hilt, and striated with wooden grain patterns on the blade; it then emitted a clear ring.

With the sword in hand, Jianzi’s aura became unmatched, his soaring sword force cutting through the red clouds, even seeming to overpower the Great Sun Dharma Body!

...

"That Taoist Master from the Flaming Jade Sect... started by declaring his feats, then revealing his treasure... aiming to crush Jianzi with his momentum."

Atop the Hundred-Flowers Magic Carpet.

Bai Yusheng talked animatedly.

He seemed to have read numerous ancient books, possessing deep insight into various cultivators’ secrets, making him an effective commentator.

Upon seeing Jianzi’s swordplay, he exclaimed:

"Using his own body as the sheath, nourishing the sword with his blood!"

"No wonder this Jianzi has earned the favor of an Immortal Sword; his very body is a Supreme Sword Taoist Spirit Body, akin to nurturing the Immortal Sword with his very self!"

"So, in friend Bai’s view, who will win this battle?" Shi Xianzi asked with a smile.

"This... Originally, I was more in favor of Jianzi, but now I really don’t know..."

Bai Yusheng marveled, "I also just learned now that Taoist Master from the Flaming Jade Sect has actually refined a Great Integration Cultivator to death... Although it must have involved a combination of various factors, it is still quite remarkable."
