Mortals (2)

Song Zheng nodded and said, “Not tainted by karma, not tainted by the mortal world, naturally there will be no distractions.”
“Yes, the most charming thing about this is fate, the most annoying thing about time…is also fate.”
“This is the fate that my sword is cutting.”
“It’s just a matter of fate, but it’s not entirely a bad thing. After all, if a person doesn’t have fate, what’s the difference between them and the essence stones, plants, and trees?”
“What I want to give you is the ability to cut off those unnecessary fates.”
“In this world, it’s good to have one or two fates. If there are too many, it will only make your heart impure.”
“Master is right.”
At this moment, Song Zheng had completely changed.
He was no longer the child who was curious about everything. Instead, he was a supreme sword cultivator who had no desires and only wanted the way of the heavens.
It was also from then on that Song Zheng understood the old master’s true identity.
He was a cultivator from the Spirit Sword Sect, one of the Three Upper Realm Sects, and he was also a Sword Master.
However, as a Sword Master, he was different from other Sword Masters. He had no interest in managing the Sword Domain.
The only reason for him to become a Sword Master was to obtain a certain amount of cultivation resources.
The old master, or rather, this lineage, was the same.
The inheritance of the Fierce Star Sword Domain was the way of the heavens, Red Dust.
The reason why they were called fierce was because they were not tied down by the mortal world. Whether it was in cultivation or battle, they were abnormally fierce.
In short, no desire…lt’s just.
It was also because people knew the nature of the Fierce Star Sword Domain that many Sword Masters were very curious about the battle between Lu Yuan and Song Zheng.
As Sword Masters, their horizons were not something ordinary cultivators could compare to.
In terms of pure strength, Song Zheng was indeed the weakest among all the Sword Masters.
Theoretically, his sword could not even kill a chicken.
However, in a sense, Song Zheng’s sword was the strangest of the 36 Big Dipper Sword Domains.
Because his sword was impossible to defend against.
A sword that was specialized in severing people’s hearts would make anyone feel afraid.
After all, not everyone was like the people of the Fierce Star Sword Domain, who had no desires for most things in the world and only retained the purest heart of cultivation.
Many swordmasters cultivated to satisfy a certain desire in their hearts.
Or perhaps it was because of a certain desire in their hearts that led them to the position of Sword Master.
However, if this desire was cut off, then even if they lived, it would be no different from being dead.
Lu Yuan actually had the courage to challenge Song Zheng’s Red Dust Sword. They really didn’t know if Lu Yuan was bold or timid.
It could be said that he was bold because he was not afraid that his mortal world would be cut off and he would turn into a walking corpse.
Meanwhile, he was timid because he knew that this challenge would not be life-threatening at all.
After all, Song Zheng’s sword did not kill.
Under the curious gazes of all the Sword Masters, Lu Yuan finally appeared in front of everyone.
Two of the sword masters were familiar with Lu Yuan.
After all, they had fought with the Sword Master of the Speed Star Sword Domain, Gu Qiuyue, for this innate Sword Body.
They did not expect that it had only been a few hundred years.
The cultivator who had just entered the Nascent Soul Realm had already reached the Apotheosis Stage.
Such a cultivation speed was definitely not considered slow.
If they had known that Lu Yuan had such a fast cultivation speed, they might have paid an even greater price back then to let Lu Yuan join their Sword Domain.
After all, such a cultivator was destined to have great achievements.
It would be of great help to them.
At the same time, Song Zheng also noticed Lu Yuan, who had arrived opposite him.
Song Zheng smiled and said to the disciple he had personally discovered back then, “Fellow Daoist Lu, long time no see.”
“It’s been a long time.” Lu Yuan nodded.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, before you challenged me, you should have some understanding of my sword, right?”
“Yes.” Lu Yuan nodded. “The Fierce Star Sword Domain and the Red Dust Sword do not cut people, only fate.”
“In that case, Fellow Daoist, you should know the consequences of being slashed by my sword?”
“I know. The fate of heaven and earth will come to an end.”
“Since you know, why did you still dare to come? Let me say this first. Although my lineage doesn’t like to be tainted by karma, there are some karma that we can’t abandon.”
“For example, the Fierce Star Sword Domain is something we can’t give up.”
“If you want to snatch it from my hands, it means that you want to cut off my last fate. To me…It’s like life and death.”
“Therefore, I will not hold back in this battle.”
At this point, Song Zheng’s temperament suddenly changed.
The wooden sword beside his feet began to tremble.
A large number of dark clouds began to appear in the calm sky, and their aura was shocking.
Lu Yuan looked at all of this calmly and placed his hand on the longsword at his waist.
This sword was brought out by Lu Yuan from the Qingyun Sect back then.
It was the most ordinary immortal sword of the Qingyun Sect.
Its quality wasn’t high, after all, it was still a mid-grade magic treasure.
With Lu Yuan’s current cultivation and status, there would be no problem if he wanted to exchange for a better immortal sword.
However, he still chose to carry this sword.
From a certain perspective, Lu Yuan was somewhat similar to Song Zheng.
Although they didn’t like to be tainted by karma, they tried their best to avoid it.
However, there were some karma that they would never abandon.
They…are people who cherish the past.
Lu Yuan held the Qingyun Sword in his hand and said calmly, “I naturally know the reputation of the Red Dust Sword.”
“But do you know what sword I cultivate?”
Song Zheng was stunned. That’s right, he indeed did not know what sword path Lu Yuan cultivated.
Logically speaking, since Lu Yuan had joined the Speed Star Sword Domain, he should have cultivated the Phoenix Sword Intent.
This was also the impression most people had of Lu Yuan.
However, he did not see any aura related to the Phoenix Sword Intent on Lu Yuan’s body at all.
If he didn’t know that Lu Yuan’s strength was extraordinary and that he was confident in his own strength to challenge him, Song Zheng would have suspected that Lu Yuan was an ordinary cultivator without sword intent.
Because Song Zheng did not feel any sword intent from him at all.
Curious about Lu Yuan’s way of the sword, Song Zheng asked, “May I know which sword path you cultivate?”
This question was also a question in the hearts of the other Sword Masters.
They were also very curious about what sword Lu Yuan, who did not have any Phoenix Sword Intent or other sword intents, cultivated.
From the looks of it, it seemed to be a sword intent that was not part of the Big Dipper sword intents.
Lu Yuan drew the Qingyun Sword from his waist and said indifferently, “My way of the sword is called Immortal Slaying.”
As soon as the words “Immortal Slaying” were spoken, an incomparably huge illusory human figure instantly appeared behind Lu Yuan.
Looking at the huge Dharma Idol that was covered in flowing light.
Everyone, including Song Zheng, was shocked.
This was because they had heard before that Lu Yuan’s Dharma Idol should be an Ancient Immortal Sword.
However, in reality, what appeared in front of everyone was an Origin Dharma Idol.
Origin Dharma Idol was the name given to all human Dharma Idols.
Of all the Dharma Idols, the Origin Dharma Idol was the most marvelous.
This was because it was difficult to judge the power of the Origin Dharma Idol through past stunning events.
However, from the temperament displayed by Lu Yuan’s Dharma Idol, his Origin Dharma Idol was definitely extraordinary.
Moreover, everyone was extremely shocked by the sword path that Lu Yuan mentioned.
He actually used such a term, “Immortal Slaying”, to describe his sword path.
Could it be that his sword could even kill immortals?
If that was really the case, then this person’s sword was indeed terrifying enough for him to challenge Song Zheng.
Just as Lu Yuan pulled out the Qingyun Sword and revealed the Transcendent Dharma Idol.
A large number of phenomena began to appear behind him.
Among these phenomena, there were headless Buddhas, immortals with bloody holes in their chests, and gods with missing limbs.
It was like a graveyard for immortals and Buddhas. The air was filled with an indescribable smell of blood.
The feeling of oppression was indescribable.
Song Zheng, who was standing opposite Lu Yuan Yuanzheng, felt the most pressure.
At this moment, he felt that he wasn’t facing Lu Yuan alone, but rather, he was facing an unspeakable terror.
His sword…Could it really kill immortals?
Lu Yuan looked at the solemn Song Zheng and slowly raised the Qingyun Sword in his hand.
“Fellow Daoist, be careful. This sword…you can’t stop it..”
