Chapter 1078 Black Sparrow
Dong Muyu looked at Chu Zhiyuan with curiosity and exclaimed in admiration, "What a prodigy who ascended to this level! And yet another Senior Brother Lu."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Why doesn't Senior Sister Dong suspect me?"

Dong Muyu asked in confusion, "What do you suspect about me?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "What if it's a hostile force, or a demon?"

Dong Muyu chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Without the permission of the Heavenly Sword Peak, outsiders cannot enter our Heavenly Sword Peak."

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly looked up at the sky.

Dong Muyu laughed and asked, "Junior Brother Chu, what are you looking at?"

Chu Zhiyuan's eyes were bright, as if he were deep in thought.

Hearing Dong Muyu's words, he lowered his guard and unleashed his super-sensory abilities.

With a single glance, one could see a giant sword lying across the void above.

Over two hundred meters long and thirty meters wide, various strange patterns form the two divine characters for the altar and the shrine.

These patterns resemble winding dragons.

These patterns twist and change, yet they maintain the two divine runes unchanged, which is truly remarkable.

The pressure Chu Zhiyuan felt far surpassed that of the Emperor's Sword in the Lesser Heavenly Realm.

The longsword seemed to be stationary in the void, yet it was emitting a breath, like a living thing, concealing its form.

Chu Zhiyuan had a gut feeling that he was no match for the Emperor's Sword and that it posed a fatal threat to him.

Therefore, one cannot be too presumptuous in the Heavenly Sword Sect; one must keep a low profile.

"You saw it?" Dong Muyu asked.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "The Heavenly Sword, perhaps?"

Dong Muyu chuckled and said, "Impressive, Junior Brother Chu. Not many people can see the Heavenly Sword."

Li Hongzhao frowned and looked up at the sky.

But with the clear blue sky and a few leisurely white clouds, there was really nothing unusual about it.

However, she could guess that the true form of the Emperor's Sword was likely shrouded in mystery in the void, just like the Emperor's Sword itself.

Awaiting the sword master's summons.

But I can't sense it, let alone see it.

Chu Zhiyuan then consulted with the Heavenly Sword Sect and learned about the situation of the entire Biyuan Heaven, and decided to seize this opportunity.

This is an excellent way to gain merit and faith.

Only with two clones and this place can there be hope of mastering the Heavenly Origin Technique.

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Senior Sister Dong, where should I go now?"

Dong Muyu put down the jade cup: "Let's go, I'll take you to the main hall to see the sect leader in person."

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his hands in thanks and left the courtyard with Li Hongzhao and Dong Muyu.

Just as I stepped out of the courtyard gate, I saw several figures sweeping across the sky.

"Whoosh!"

"Ugh——!"

"Wow—!"

……

Li Hongzhao looked at Dong Muyu with confusion.

Dong Muyu's expression changed slightly.

Chu Zhiyuan used his extrasensory perception to discover that hundreds of disciples were leaving the courtyard and heading towards a certain place.

This place is a white jade square.

At this moment, halos of light were illuminating the White Jade Square.

The halos, varying in size and arranged in a peculiar pattern, formed a unique design.

Chu Zhiyuan used his super-sensory perception to look down and saw it clearly, revealing that it was a divine character "御" (Yu).

In the divine text, the character "御" depicts a scene of a mighty river being blocked by dikes on both sides.

It remains unmoved despite the crashing of the mighty river.

Dong Muyu frowned and said, "We need to activate the formation. Follow me!"

She accelerated, transforming into a streak of green light.

Li Hongzhao looked at Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded and followed closely behind Dong Muyu, soon arriving at Baiyu Square.

On the white jade square, figures fell from the sky, each landing in a circular area.

Chu Zhiyuan and Li Hongzhao followed Dong Muyu to a circular area.

Dong Muyu said in a deep voice, "Transfer your true essence into the ground!"

Li Hongzhao lowered her voice and whispered, "Senior Sister, my cultivation level..."

Dong Muyu's beautiful face remained tense: "Don't worry about so much, just do your best."

"Yes." Li Hongzhao nodded. Her eyes swept around.

But all the disciples around him had solemn expressions, closed their eyes and focused their energy on their feet.

As they exerted their power, the halo grew brighter and brighter.

Finally, the light enveloped them, obscuring their features.

She looked down and realized that the circle she was in could only accommodate three people; there was no room for more than one. Moreover, her location in the square was somewhat off-center, far from the center.

She practiced her internal energy while pondering.

Each of these disciples has their own position?
Or do they just fall randomly, without a fixed location?
If there is a fixed location, then what standard is used to distinguish between different locations?

Is it based on cultivation level?
Dong Muyu is very enthusiastic and has excellent talent, but because of his young age and short time in the inner sect, his cultivation level is at the bottom.
Suddenly, Chu Zhiyuan's voice came through his ear: "Don't let your mind wander, concentrate on your internal energy."

Li Hongzhao glanced at Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head at her, then closed his eyes and began to circulate his internal energy.

He didn't open the Yongquan acupoint; he simply channeled his true energy to his feet and poured it into the white jade stone.

Through true energy, one can feel the white jade stone beneath one's feet surging with power, rolling and turbulent, as if standing on a raging sea, ready to be overturned at any moment.

Extrasensory perception is constantly illuminating the cave.

He discovered that the entire mountain peak was shrouded in a curtain of light.

The light screen is as thin as a cicada's wing, invisible yet substantial, and cannot be detected without super-sensory perception.

The power of this light screen is the true essence of these more than one hundred Heavenly Sword Sect disciples.

Chu Zhiyuan was curious when soon a series of dark shadows swept in from the distant sky.

The Senses Hole revealed everything clearly; these dark shapes were strange birds.

These strange birds were about the size of white cranes, but their heads were human heads.

With a human head and a bird's body, it moved with incredible speed, like a dark cloud sweeping across the sky, about to fly over the Heavenly Sword Peak.

However, it crashed solidly into the light barrier and instantly exploded into clouds of black mist.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

The muffled sounds echoed incessantly in the air, and wisps of black mist rose up, with nearly a hundred wisps of black mist exploding.

However, the black mist did not dissipate; instead, it condensed in the air and eventually formed a human shape.

The human figure was about ten meters tall, and was robust and muscular.

Chu Zhiyuan's expression was solemn.

This humanoid figure has a human body, but its feet are bird claws, and there are four bird claws in total, which looks really strange.

But these four bird claws supporting him as he stood in the void made him appear as an illusory figure, as if standing in a lake, blurry and indistinct.

Chu Zhiyuan lowered his voice and asked, "Senior Sister Dong, what is this?"

"Black Sparrow Demon." Dong Muyu's beautiful face was tense. "We absolutely cannot let him get in, or we'll all be in trouble."

"Difficult to deal with?"

“He can manifest in countless forms, making him impossible to defend against,” Dong Muyu said. “Unless all of his clones are destroyed, he cannot be killed.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, "It takes a Venerable Realm expert to kill him?"

“Even a Venerable Realm expert would have a hard time killing him,” Dong Muyu shook her head.

Chu Zhiyuan was in the cave, searching for the black sparrow demon's weakness.

The Black Sparrow Demon's physique is extremely peculiar, existing between the real and the illusory.

No wonder they were so hard to kill.

Simple swords and weapons, or even true energy, are no match for him. It is estimated that one must understand the principles of illusion and reality to kill him.

Could I kill him?
Chu Zhiyuan pondered for a moment, then decided not to act rashly and to observe first.

After all, this is my own body, so I can't be too aggressive; I need to be steady.

"Haha... Heavenly Sword Sect, nothing special!"

A loud laugh echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

Dong Muyu lowered her voice: "Ignore his shouting."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned: "Are we just going to let him be so arrogant?"

“That’s all he’s capable of,” Dong Muyu said. “He’ll be leaving soon.”

Chu Zhiyuan's face darkened.

He had originally thought that the Heavenly Sword Sect was a powerful and influential sect, but instead, they had come knocking on his door in such a way.

That's just too pathetic.

Dong Muyu said, "Don't fall for it. If you rush out, you'll fall into his trap."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

Li Hongzhao snorted, "Couldn't we just kill him?"

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Where is the Heavenly Sword?"
