From the end of the world

Chapter 329 Diving into the Abyss and Shrinking the Earth
It has been a long time since I last observed the Forged Yama Sword. At that time, I was like a sitting well, not even having any experience fighting with other Great Perfection Ranks. My strength was basically dormant, and my perception was very dull, as if I was asleep. To me at that time, the Forged Yama Sword was no different from an ordinary Impermanence Sword.

Now, re-examining this legendary Zhu family heirloom that is said to possess the power of impermanence, I suddenly have a different feeling.

This sword is simply a mass of concentrated power.

It was like a blinding white light that was infinitely compressed and condensed into a solid substance. For a moment, I couldn't see the original appearance of the Forged Yama Sword. I just felt that it was an extremely dazzling silver-white lightsaber. In the past, Zhu Shi would often use the Forged Yama Sword to emit white sword energy or sword light in battle. Those moves were exactly the same as the white light in front of me.

Not only that, I also felt familiar with the phenomenon of compression and condensation of force from another direction.

This sword, like the "Golden Elixir" of the Water Master Xuanwu, is a super weapon that compresses and stores power in a certain form and releases it when needed.

This statement may make it seem like the Yama Sword was plagiarizing the "Golden Elixir" of the Navy Xuanwu, but the truth may be the other way around. In terms of completion, the Zhu family's Yama Sword and the Navy Xuanwu's "Golden Elixir" are so different that the latter seems like a poor imitation of the former.

Considering that there seemed to be an unknown friendship between Zhu Yi, the Great Impermanence, and the water master Xuanwu in the past, the similarity between the forged Yama Sword and the "Golden Elixir" is probably not a coincidence.

From the perspective of total power, the total amount of mana contained in the Yama Sword is far greater than that of the "Golden Elixir".

I'm going to say something that few people will believe. Even though I'm the Great Impermanence now, the total energy of my full-strength attack is actually not as good as the Xuanming attack that the Water Master Xuanwu released after breaking the "Golden Pill". Being hit by such a huge mass of energy, even I wouldn't be safe and sound. It's absolutely true to say that it was a trick that was enough to kill the Great Impermanence. The reason why he lost to me so easily was simply because the Water Master Xuanwu couldn't effectively control that overly huge power.

Since the Yama Sword contains such unfathomable power, if one can fully master it, it will be more than enough to become the Great Impermanence.

After hearing my evaluation, Mr. Zhu looked at the Forged Yama Sword with a look of his worldview being shattered and forced to reconstruct. Zhu Shi almost dropped the Forged Yama Sword, but then he quickly clenched it, looking over and over at this magical weapon that he was so familiar with, and then said stupidly, "No way, is this true... Am I going to be strengthened?"

"Come to think of it, isn't it possible for the Forged Yama Sword to be hidden and revealed at will like the Impermanence Sword? But I saw that you summoned it out just now as if it was a matter of course..." I asked Zhu Shi.

Mr. Zhu seemed to answer subconsciously: "... Because I have recently been teaching her how to further communicate with the Yama Sword. She learns very quickly and has now grasped the trick..."

Zhu Shi continued, "That's right... I now have a fighting capacity of a certain level."

As she spoke, she seemed a little proud, but when she saw me, the Great Impermanence, and Ma Zao, who were at the Great Accomplishment level, her smug expression immediately collapsed.

I asked curiously, "Since Zhu Shi and all the descendants of the Zhu family have established connections with the forging of the Yama Sword, why has no one discovered the true power of the forging of the Yama Sword?"

"Maybe it's because... 'difficult to sense' is also one of the characteristics of the Great Impermanence." Mr. Zhu seemed to have barely digested the shocking fact. "It's easy to understand with your example. Ordinary demon hunters can't sense your mana fluctuations. At most, they can only sense the mana fluctuations of the flame that is equivalent to your clone. This is because when the power rises to a certain level, it becomes too huge and becomes difficult to sense.

"The ancients said, 'The great image is invisible, the great sound is inaudible', and 'You cannot see the true face of Mount Lu because you are inside it'... The Great Impermanence and the Great Impermanence Qualified are super beings that can change the world, and their power is not in the same dimension as that of ordinary things. Just like the existence of the second dimension cannot perceive and interfere with the third dimension, unless you take the initiative to lower your level, ordinary demon hunters will not be able to normally perceive the fluctuations of your magic power.

"Of course, just like elementalization can be imitated, this imperceptible characteristic can also be imitated. Those who were your enemies in the past must have noticed that they could not sense your mana fluctuations. Some of them may realize the truth before they die, and some may mistakenly think that you have mastered the ability to hide your own aura...

"And our Zhu family did not believe that the Great Impermanence Power existed in the sword just because we could not sense the true level of the magic power of the sword. On the contrary, I always thought that the reason why the "rumor" spread was because the Great Impermanence Power had that kind of nature, which made some people in the family have unrealistic fantasies...but I didn't expect that the "rumor" was actually true."

"But even if our Zhu family can't figure out the details of the Yama Sword, the other Great Impermanence should be able to figure it out, right? After all, Zhuang Cheng can." Zhu Shi asked doubtfully, "Didn't the other Great Impermanence take a look at the magic weapon left by our ancestor Zhu Yi? Or did they take a look but didn't take action against the Yama Sword out of some concerns?"

"What can the Great Impermanence worry about? The reason why no Great Impermanence wants to forge the Yama Sword is probably because they don't care." Mr. Zhu shook his head, "First of all, the Yama Sword is a magical tool that only our ancestor Zhu Yi and the descendants of the Zhu family can use. The magic power contained in it can only be used by us. Other Great Impermanence will not be able to use it even if they get it.

"Secondly... the Great Impermanence probably doesn't care whether or not the Great Impermanence will appear again among the descendants of the Zhu family."

Now I can probably understand that mentality.

In the past, the Great Impermanence had no doctrine or position, and they were not emperors or generals who would play with political resources in the mortal world. They were transcendent individuals who were free and unfettered from society between heaven and earth. In front of them, there was no cake to be divided, and there was no worry that "if there was one more person to share the cake, I would get one less piece."

I even think that even the current Great Impermanence has no so-called doctrine or position, such as transcendence doctrine, governance doctrine, or whether mortals should be turned into their own resources and consumables. Are mortals qualified to be the resources and consumables of the Great Impermanence? Human flesh, bones, and souls can indeed become powerful materials for many rituals and spells, but if the Great Impermanence wants to achieve a miracle, there is no need for so many roundabout steps.

From this new perspective, I can't help but re-examine the political and transcendental, as well as the impermanence that supports both sides. What exactly are they planning to do?

To get back to the point, someone in the Zhu family must have repeatedly tested the true details of the Cast Yama Sword in the past, but it was probably because the seal that preserved the power of impermanence inside the Cast Yama Sword was too strong and could not be detected by ordinary testing methods. Moreover, none of the descendants of the Zhu family had the talent high enough to push the communication between themselves and the Cast Yama Sword to the extreme level.

Speaking of communication, I once again thought of Zhu Shi's past possession of the Right Position of Heaven and Earth, as well as the monster maker's evaluation of Zhu Shi.

"If it is the power to communicate freely with all things in nature... can it fully communicate with the Yama Sword and liberate all the power within it?" I asked.

"I don't know, but it should be possible in theory." Zhu Shi replied, "Grandpa once said that if I still have the talent I had before, I can release all the power of the Yama Sword. I even have the hope of reaching the Great Perfection level by forging the Yama Sword in my lifetime..."

Mr. Zhu sighed and said, "If I had known from the beginning that forging the Yama Sword had the power of great impermanence, no matter what Ajiu said, I would not have let my granddaughter play all day and waste her time."

"Ma Zao, with your power of returning, can you restore Zhu Shi's 'Buzhou Mountain' to 'the correct position of heaven and earth'?" I asked.

"Ah?" Zhu Shi was shocked.

If this can be done, it means that Zhu Shi has a chance to skip the great success stage and ascend directly from the success level to the great impermanence realm by forging the Yama Sword.

This is equivalent to having an extra Great Impermanence-level fighter in our camp, which is undoubtedly a great thing. In the future, if Mingzhu secretly attacks the Zhu family due to the hostile relationship between us, the Zhu family can also show great defensive counterattack capabilities.

Ma Zao thought about it seriously, and then said: "...My power of return can directly affect other people's abilities. Even if the abilities have changed, they should be able to be reset back to their past forms through my power... However, I don't know if the power of return can also affect the divine talents of the descendants of the Great Impermanence."

"If it fails, will it have negative consequences for you and Zhu Shi?" I asked cautiously.

"No." Ma Zao answered seriously.

“Then we can give it a try,” I said.

"Let's go to a wider open space first." Mr. Zhu reminded, "The Yama Sword Maker has a very violent temperament. If there is a problem in communication with it, its power will leak out and cause damage to the surrounding environment."

This sword actually has its own temperament?
It is also true that most magical powers are the manifestation of spiritual and soul power, so it is not surprising that temperament tendencies will appear among them.

In this case, it would be inconvenient to try it in the room where Zhu Jiu, the "patient", was. Although this villa had its own small garden, it was in a wealthy neighborhood in the city center after all. If something happened, attracting attention would be secondary. Letting the power of the Great Impermanence erupt in the city was not something that could be treated as a joke.

I did remember a place that didn't matter how much it was destroyed, so I reached out and grabbed Zhu Shi's shoulder.

“I know a good place,” I said.

"Oh, so that's it...but why did you catch me?" Zhu Shi asked puzzledly.

"That's right." I thought for a moment and said, "In fact, it is not necessary to use the 'grab' action."

After saying that, I released a large amount of flames, engulfing everyone present except the unconscious Zhu Jiu.

In the brief moment when no one had time to react, I took a step toward the north.

Then, the flames on all sides dissipated, and the surrounding scene changed dramatically. This was no longer the Zhu family's villa room, but the broken Yueyin Mountain. It was noon, the sky was blue and the clouds were white, and the sun was pouring down on the deserted broken mountain. It was not only me who arrived here, but also Ma Zao, Zhu Shi, and Mr. Zhu.

In just a moment, we arrived at Yueyin Mountain, more than a thousand kilometers away from Xianshui City.
