Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 207 The sword light splits!

The blade was icy cold.

Penetrating wounds cause even more excruciating pain.

Zhou Yuantong seemed oblivious, letting her body lose strength and fall limply to the ground, her eyes glazed as she looked at the figure behind her.

The physical wounds are far less painful than the pain in one's heart.

"Uh……"

She lowered her head, staring at the blade in her chest, her eyes bloodshot, whether from anger or sorrow, it was hard to tell; her voice was weak and unsteady.

"why?"

"Why?" Zhu Ju sneered.
"You really don't understand. A furnace can also backfire, and I can also use you to become a Dao Foundation cultivator."

"Daoji!"

"A Dao Foundation cultivator with a lifespan of three or four hundred years, a realm that countless Innate cultivators dream of, who wouldn't be tempted?"

"..." Zhou Yuantong raised her head, tears streaming down her face, looking at the 'stranger' in front of her, who appeared to be in a frenzy:
"do you know……"

"I had already given up on living."

"As long as you ask, I can give you anything, including my life, and I'm willing to help you achieve your Dao foundation. Just don't lie to me and tell me what you want."

She had even decided where she would be buried after she died, because the moment she learned of her beloved's betrayal, she had lost all reason to continue living.

Zhu Ju's expression stiffened slightly.

"It doesn't matter."

He shrugged.

"The result is the same."

“Same…” Zhou Yuantong trembled, feeling utterly hopeless, struggling to scream:

"why?"

"I have no parents, no family, I only have you, I only have you left!"

"Why……"

"See, this is the problem." Zhu Ju squatted down, looked directly at Zhou Yuantong, and said with a serious expression:

"The reason your state of mind is not complete is because something is missing and needs to be filled by someone else."

"Parents, family, husband..."

"But unfortunately, everything you say will leave you. Only you can make yourself whole. As long as you still depend on others, your state of mind will never be complete."

How are your closest relatives?

They're still outsiders!
Zhou Yuantong stared intently at him, her expression shifting from confusion to despair, and then to anger, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"So many years..."

She gritted her teeth and growled:
"You've been lying to me all along?"

"You can't say that," Zhu Ju shrugged.

“I am grateful for everything you have done for me, so my deception is also a way of repaying you.”

"Isn't it?"

"You have lived a carefree life all these years, enjoying happiness and joy, but it is all thanks to me."

"Liar!" Zhou Yuantong reached out to grab him, but grasped at empty air. She could only grit her teeth and roar angrily.

"fraud!"

"You liar!"

"You're even willing to let a rabbit go, how could I possibly fall in love with someone like you!"

"The original rabbit died a long time ago. I bought a new one. Have you ever seen a rabbit live this many years?" Zhu Ju shook his head.
"Zhou Yuantong, it's time for you to wake up."

He stood tall, his face cold, and suddenly drew his long sword:

"You're not a child anymore, yet you're still so naive, unable to even distinguish between truth and falsehood."

"You don't really think 'naive' is a good word, do you? Being ignorant of the ways of the world and unaware of people's hearts, even if you don't die by my hand today, you will die at the hands of someone else one day."

"If you die by my hand, at least you'll have a whole body. I'll bury your body under the apricot tree, and the apricots that grow there will be especially sweet. I'll pick them and taste them when they're ripe, so you can continue to contribute to me."

"Ha ha……"

Thinking of this, Zhu Ju couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"My wife, it is your wish to die for me. Isn't that wonderful?"

Zhou Yuantong stared blankly at the man in front of her, her eyes misty and cold, feeling as if it were all a dream, a nightmare from which she could not wake up.

why?
Why is all of this happening?
She slowly stood up, tears streaming down her face:

"so……"

"Is it all a lie?"

"I was so stupid, so incredibly stupid!"

“That’s right.” Zhu Ju pointed his sword and shouted:

“Zhou Yuantong, you are indeed foolish, but choosing me as your furnace is the only right thing to do.”

"Suffer to death!"

"Ok?"

Just as he was about to swing his sword, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked at the figure standing upright in front of him with fear in his eyes.

"You...how are you okay?"

"Husband." Zhou Yuantong's eyes were red and filled with tears as she gently took a talisman from her person:
"You used that to gain my sincere affection and let me stay in the ice cave for three years. Have you forgotten?"

"A substitute death charm!" Zhu Ju gritted his teeth:
“That vile woman, Consort Yuan, clearly told me herself that she preferred me to you.”

"You actually believe her?" Zhou Yuantong smiled bitterly.

“Your master’s lifespan is almost over. Even if you can establish your Dao foundation, she may not be able to wait for you.”

"Even if I can wait, what my master needs is my special physique, not just a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

If one is merely a Foundation Establishment cultivator, even if Yuanfei isn't very popular, she can still find partners to cooperate with.

Zhou Yuantong,
Indispensable!

“Zhu Ju”.

Zhou Yuantong sighed softly:
"You've been so clever all your life, why did you suddenly make such a foolish mistake?"

"Ah!" Zhu Ju, enraged and humiliated, swayed and lunged forward, raising his long sword to slash down fiercely:

"Go to hell!"

"call……"

Zhou Yuantong raised his hand, and the true energy of the Eight Apertures Innate Realm burst forth from his dantian, surging wildly forward without restraint.

The difference between the late stage of innate constitution and the early stage of innate constitution is like an insurmountable chasm.

"boom!"

The long sword in Zhu Ju's hand shattered instantly, and he flew backward covered in blood. He twitched twice on the ground and then lost consciousness.

As he died, a surge of divine soul power left his body and merged into Zhou Yuantong's primordial spirit.

This spiritual power was merely a trigger, yet it caused a subtle and unpredictable change in the primordial spirit.

"boom!"

"Rumble..."

A silent thunderclap resounded within Zhou Yuantong's body as the last acupoint of the Innate Realm suddenly opened.

Not only that.

At this moment, her essence, energy, and spirit reached a special state, and she operated at a speed far exceeding that of the past, forgetting all attachments and emotions.

Without needing the Foundation Establishment Pill, Zhou Yuantong has a 60% chance of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm at this moment.

Her rapidly increasing cultivation and perception also made her aware of the anomaly not far away.

"Come out!"

"Yuan Tong."

Qi Yao dispersed the concealment talisman and chuckled dryly:
"My master was afraid that you wouldn't be able to kill the man surnamed Zhu, so he sent me to follow him secretly, just in case."

"fortunately!"

"The thief failed."

For some reason, Zhou Yuantong now feels very unfamiliar to her, and she even dares not look her in the eye.

"You did very well."

Zhou Yuantong's expression was indifferent:
"Thank you."

With a gentle wave of her hand, the soil in the field swirled up, covering the bodies of Zhu Ju and Song Zhi and burying them underground.

"The dream is over."

"it's all over!"

With her eyes closed and the last tear falling, Zhou Yuantong transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the distance.

It disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Congratulations, Senior Sister, on the successful completion of your cultivation and the promising foundation of your Dao."

Qi Yao watched Zhou Yuantong leave, clasped her hands in congratulations, and only stopped when the disappearing light was out of sight.

"Ugh!"

"My heart is broken with grief; it's all the fault of that scoundrel surnamed Zhu!"

She turned around, looked at the brand-new grave on the ground, thought for a moment, and took out a flying sword from her Qiankun bag. "You are not worthy to be buried with Senior Sister Ding... Song. You have disturbed them for no reason."

"Come out!"

The sword light spun around the ground and pulled out a corpse.

"Humph!"

"Back then, he even threatened me, saying that I would never be satisfied until I dismembered you and threw your body to the wild wolves in the mountains to eat."

Gritting her teeth, Qi Yao slashed at Zhu Ju with her sword.

"Ding……"

There was a crash.

Zhu Ju suddenly opened his eyes, leaped to his feet, his sword swirling around him, and looked at Qi Yao with a speechless expression:
"Isn't it?"

"Just because of a few jokes from back then, they want to dismember me? I was just saying it, I never actually did it."

"You..." Qi Yao's expression changed drastically, and she pointed at him, stammering:
"You're not dead?"

"Obviously." Zhu Ju shrugged.

"Fortunately, I have some expertise in concealment, otherwise I might not have been able to fool Yuan Tong."

"You...you thief!" Qi Yao was both angry and annoyed, and stamped her foot as she spoke.
"So you've been lying all along. You... which of your words is true?"

"That's not important." Zhu Ju waved his hand.
"However, this matter is now over, and I should leave. The Hehuan Sect is ultimately not a good place."

"Farewell!"

"Trying to leave?" Just then, a cold voice came from above:

"Can you leave?"

As the clouds dispersed, two figures floated down from them, none other than Fu Qiuyue, a core disciple, and Mu Zi, an inner disciple.

"What a coincidence."

Mu Zi smiled coldly:

“We happened to be on a mission nearby, and we were just thinking about how to ruin Zhou Yuantong’s career when we ran into the two of you.”

“You, surnamed Zhou, as the furnace vessel of the core true disciple, have actually gained your freedom and even want to escape the control of the Hehuan Sect. Your crimes are heinous and you should be executed.”

"And Zhou Yuantong..."

“She actually let her own furnace go, which is a disregard for the sect rules. We’ll kill you first and then question her.”

"It's you?" Zhu Ju raised an eyebrow.
"That's fine!"

"I've disliked you for a long time, but I didn't have a chance to make a move in Fengyue Valley. Now I'm just looking for a chance to vent my frustrations."

"Zheng!"

The Horizontal and Vertical Blade trembled slightly.

"Something's not right!" Fu Qiuyue's expression changed slightly:

"A top-grade magic weapon! Junior sister, be careful!"

"Too late!" Zhu Ju narrowed his eyes, and a flash of light appeared in the arena, ignoring the interception and slicing past Mu Zi's throat.

Immortal Demon Slayer!
"puff!"

Blood splattered.

Mu Zi's lifeless body fell to the ground.

"what!"

It wasn't until it landed on the ground and kicked up dust that Qi Yao covered her mouth and screamed, looking over with an incredulous expression.

Mu Zi is an inner disciple.

Unlike her, who was promoted from the outer sect to the inner sect by chance, Mu Zi's strength was not bad.

With the cultivation level of breaking through the six orifices, how could he not even withstand a single move from Zhu Ju?
"Damn it!"

Fu Qiuyue's face was covered in frost:
"You actually dared to kill an inner disciple of the Hehuan Sect."

Mu Zi had followed her for over a decade, and their relationship had long surpassed that of ordinary fellow disciples, so she was naturally furious at this moment.

With a flick of his wrist, a string of bells flew out.

"Jingle Bell……"

The bell rang throughout the void, its seductive melody, stirring up all sorts of distracting thoughts, ignoring all attempts to block it and entering the very soul.

Qi Yao's face turned deathly pale instantly. She tried to use her inner energy to resist, but found that she couldn't muster any strength at all.

Suffer!
It's the Love-Binding Bell!
This is a famous magical artifact in the Hehuan Sect, known for its ability to stir up the inner demons of others.

"Humph!"

Zhu Ju snorted lightly, completely ignoring the demonic sound, and swung his sword in the air towards Fu Qiuyue.

"Ding……"

A tortoise shell appeared beside Fu Qiuyue.

As a core disciple of the Hehuan Sect, how could she not possess top-tier protective items?

The tortoise shell could withstand the combined strikes of the sword without falling to the ground, clearly indicating that it was a high-grade magic weapon.

"it is good!"

Fu Qiuyue's beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked directly at Zhu Ju:

"You've actually broken through the Nine Apertures Innate Realm! You've hidden it so well all these years that you even managed to fool a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

Nine orifices innate?

Who?
Qi Yao looked on in astonishment and turned to look at the figure beside her, whose aura was surging and whose true energy was incredibly vast.

Zhu Ju!

Is he a Nine-Aperture Primordial Being?

how can that be!

When the two first met more than a decade ago, the other was still a martial artist who had acquired his skills. How many years has it been?
Moreover, I've spent so many years living with it day and night, when did I become a master of the Nine Apertures Innate?
impossible!
Although I didn't want to believe it, the facts were right in front of me.

Zhu Juyu wielded the Horizontal and Vertical Blade, its blade flashing through the air, effectively suppressing the core disciple, Fu Qiuyue.

If one were not born with nine orifices, how could one possess such strength?
"it is good!"

"very good!"

Being below, Fu Qiuyue was not surprised but rather delighted:

"The secrets you possess would likely interest even a Foundation Establishment cultivator. If we were to capture you this time..."

"The sect will surely reward you handsomely!"

She didn't think she was inferior to Zhu Ju, even if he had a top-grade magic weapon.

As one of the major sects of the demonic path, the Hehuan Sect's core disciples possessed a level of confidence far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

She even possesses treasures that, when activated, are comparable to a full-force attack from a Foundation Establishment cultivator, such as the Thunderclap Powder.

"Shh!"

With a gentle wave of her hand, several talismans appeared out of thin air, transforming into layers of protective shields that completely enveloped Fu Qiuyue.

amulet!
A first-grade superior amulet.

Even the finest magical artifacts wouldn't be able to break through it easily, let alone the Xuanjia Shield, a top-tier defensive magical artifact inside.

With no worries about the future, Fu Qiuyue flicked her finger again, and a streak of sword light shot straight towards Zhu Ju's location.

at this time.

"Shh!"

Suddenly, a bright light appeared before my eyes.

The attack, which originally consisted of only one blade of light, was split into five, with the five blades of light attacking in a strangling manner.

Slay the immortals and demons!
The cycle of non-action continues!

"No!"

Fu Qiuyue's beautiful eyes widened, her face showing horror:

"Sword light differentiates!"

This is clearly a sword control technique that only cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage can master; only one in ten thousand people at the Innate stage can master it.

Why?

Of all things, I happened to run into this!
"Peng!"

The amulet shattered instantly, and the Xuanjia Shield only held on for a moment longer before crumbling amidst a mournful cry.

"puff!"

Fu Qiuyue swayed, several crisscrossing bloodstains appeared on her face, and her life force rapidly declined.

Nine orifices innate

dead!
Even on the verge of death, Fu Qiuyue's eyes still held resentment as she stared intently at Zhu Ju's position.

Even if I die, the flying sword has already been launched, and the opponent will certainly not escape death.

Die together!

"Shh!"

Faced with the incoming flying sword, Zhu Ju remained calm, simply raising his hand slightly, and a wisp of five-colored light swept upwards.

The flying sword was actually frozen in place.
