“Do you really have Emperor Tier swordsmanship?”
Daoist Yuxuan was a Sword Dao genius, extremely obsessed with sword cultivation techniques. Upon hearing that Lu Changsheng possessed Emperor Tier swordsmanship, he couldn’t contain his excitement.
As the name suggests, Emperor Tier swordsmanship is the cultivation technique practiced by Immortal Emperors.
Such technique is typically only possessed by Holy Lands.
“Absolutely true.”
“Come to my Enlightenment Cave at once, no, I’ll come directly to your cave abode.”
Daoist Yuxuan, unable to wait, immediately summoned his Flying Sword and arrived at Changqing Cave to catch a glimpse of the legendary Emperor Tier swordsmanship.
Lu Changsheng took out the “Sword Scripture of the Divine King”.
Daoist Yuxuan’s eyes were ablaze with fervor.
All Loose Immortals who cultivated the Sword Dao yearned to witness the Emperor Tier techniques of a Holy Land.
“Indeed, this is Emperor Tier swordsmanship, the peerless cultivation technique that only those at the Immortal Emperor level could comprehend. To think that one day, I too would have the fortune to gaze upon an Emperor Tier technique—it’s truly a blessing of three lifetimes.”
Daoist Yuxuan skimmed through it only briefly before becoming completely engrossed, as if intoxicated.
The Emperor Tier swordsmanship was extraordinarily profound. Daoist Yuxuan immersed himself in study and didn’t come back to his senses until three months later, after reaching the second layer. He exclaimed, “The creator of this technique must have an unfathomably deep cultivation. Their comprehension of the Sword Dao is far beyond our reach. I’m like a child in comparison. Even a Daluo Golden Immortal cannot fully penetrate the nine layers of sword intent. I take back what I said before; at most, I can only comprehend up to the third layer.”
The “Sword Scripture of the Divine King” described nine layers of sword intent, and yet Daoist Yuxuan, a Sword Dao genius, could only grasp the basic first three layers?
Daoist Yuxuan continued, “I can guide you through the first three layers of cultivation for this technique. As for the latter six layers of sword intent, I’m afraid we will have to collectively study them. With your talent, it’s possible you might master this technique to Great Perfection even faster than me. It’s best to keep the existence of this technique between you and your disciples, for Holy Lands have the power to protect an Emperor Tier cultivation technique. As a Loose Cultivator, if others were to learn that you have this technique, it would surely provoke strife.”
Daoist Yuxuan and Lu Changsheng began cultivating the “Sword Scripture of the Divine King”.
Meanwhile, Lu Changsheng instructed several disciples to descend the mountain for experience, to accumulate merit.
The Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda required merit to grow.
Lu Changsheng, as their master, would receive a share of the merit when the disciples performed righteous deeds and eliminated demons in an act of heroism.
One month later, in a dilapidated temple, several Heretic Cultivators were gorging on meat and gulping down wine, while in a corner they held captive two fairy maidens they had abducted from nearby Sects.
These two fairy maidens were masters of the Void Refinement Realm, but the Heretic Cultivators had even higher cultivation levels as Unity Realm experts.
“Hahaha, Green City Sect is indeed no match, with their Sect Master only possessing the eighth layer of the Unity Realm, how could he possibly stand against our big brother?”
“Hehe, the two daughters of the Sect Master of Green City Sect are as beautiful as flowers; we’re lucky indeed. Once big brother tires of them, I wonder if he might kindly allow his brothers to have their turn?”
“Of course.”
A group of Heretic Cultivators toadying up to the leading Demon Chief.
This primary Heretic Cultivator, the only Earth Immortal among them, struck fear into the heart of many Sects.
The two daughters of the Sect Master of Green City Sect huddled in the corner of the decrepit temple, pale-faced, knowing well their Sect had been destroyed and their fate was sealed. However, seals applied by the Demon Chief rendered their True Qi unable to circulate, leaving
them powerless to do anything but await their doom.
Bang!
Suddenly, the temple’s doors were kicked open with the door panels shattering on impact.
The Heretic Cultivators flew into a rage: “Who is it?!”
Having caused unscrupulous mayhem in the vicinity, unchallenged by anyone, and even obliterating the most powerful Sect within a thousand miles, the Green City Sect, they could not believe someone dared to provoke them.
An assertive-looking man walked in alone, his eyes coldly surveying the Heretic Cultivators.
The leading Heretic Cultivator’s displeasure was clear: “Who dares to provoke Daoist Xixiang?”
The other Heretic Cultivators mocked, “We advise you to not meddle in other people’s business, otherwise you won’t even know how you died.”
Xiao Fan frowned. He hadn’t expected to encounter Heretic Cultivators just a month after descending the mountain.
Although the Immortal Realm possessed Holy Lands and Immortal Sects, there were no small number of Demon Sects and Heretic Cultivators, mutually antagonistic.
“Die.”
“Baji Fist!”
Xiao Fan gathered his power and delivered a punch, landing squarely on the Demon Chief, Daoist Xixiang.
Boom!
Daoist Xixiang and the wall behind him disintegrated in an instant!
Even the land behind the temple bore a thousand-foot-long trench from his fist’s force, pulverizing all the stones and earth along its path. Enjoy exclusive content from empire
Xiao Fan, with the power of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, was not someone an Earth Immortal Heretic Cultivator could match.
Daoist Xixiang was reduced to ashes and smoke.
The remaining Heretic Cultivators were terrified; their highest-ranking brother had been slain and they stood no chance against Xiao Fan.
Flee!
Realizing they were outmatched, the Heretic Cultivators scattered in all directions.
Xiao Fan activated the “Divine Emperor’s Flame-Manipulating Art”, conjuring a ball of flame in the palm of his hand.
He threw several punches, hurling fireballs at the fleeing Heretic Cultivators.
“Ahh!”
The Heretic Cultivators screamed as the fiery fists struck them, causing their bodies and spirits to perish.
The two fairy maidens from the Void Refinement Realm watched in stunned silence.
The Heretic Cultivators who had slaughtered the Green City Sect were easily slain by Xiao Fan, who seemed as serene as a gentle breeze and light clouds.
He was evidently far stronger than the Sect Master of Green City Sect.
Xiao Fan retracted his aura and released the maidens’ sealed acupoints: “You are free to go.”
The two fairy maidens exchanged a glance, then addressed Xiao Fan, “Your Grace has shown us kindness. With our Sect destroyed, we are willing to serve as Your Grace’s maidservants and hope you will take us in.”
…
At Changqing Cave of Zhengsheng Sect, Lu Changsheng was engaged in comprehending the “Sword Scripture of the Divine King”.
Whether this technique could be cultivated to a higher realm was crucial for him to be able to stand against the King of Chaos in combat.
