Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 160 Three Immortal Swords, Visitors from the Capital
[Goddess Ego] hadn't been out for a long time, but when she did go out, she had quite a few gains, and was overjoyed.

Now, she had a much better impression of the newly promoted [Chunyangzi].

The Empress happily returned home, chasing the stars and the moon, and soon returned to her palace on [Tianjing Star].

She happily put away her newly acquired treasures from the Gu family, then summoned a female official and gave her instructions:

"Go to the Privy Council and arrange for someone to find the Su family and have them bring back their descendants who are scattered in the [Yingfutu Realm]."

"Tell them to search carefully, and not to let a single descendant escape."

"Yes, Emperor!"

The female official took her leave, but the Empress hummed a little tune as she went to bathe and change.

The female official was also beautiful and dignified, and with light, graceful steps, she strolled slowly to the front courtyard.

The official on duty at the Privy Council of the Celestial Empire was a scribe judge with the cultivation level of "Star Picking". As soon as the two met, the female official conveyed the Empress's decree.

The judge held a jade slip, which contained detailed records, before finally asking:
"I wonder which empress is here today?"

The lady-in-waiting answered as usual:
"Today, the Empress appears in her human form, displaying intelligence, beauty, and grace."

【Egao Shangdi】is a genuine first-rank cultivator, embodying the five elements and five aspects of "heaven, earth, man, god, and ghost". He usually appears in different forms, each with its own unique majesty.

Today is the day of the Pure Yang Heaven, and the person who appears is the most easy to talk to, as charming as a young girl. Naturally, they won't cause any trouble because of their mischief.

If it were the most authoritative and law-abiding diviner in this position, who knows what the outcome would be?

The clerk and judge breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the female official's words.

Relatively speaking, among the five aspects of the Empress, the decree of the [Human Aspect] is the easiest to handle, with almost no punishment, but rather the greatest reward. He is truly incredibly lucky.

Upon receiving the order, the clerk and judge dared not delay. They quickly registered and initiated the approval process, urging the process to be completed in just half a day and then transferring the process to the Su family.

The two remaining Spirit Officials of the Su Clan, the sisters Su Qing and Su Yan, were also extremely surprised when they saw the Empress's decree.

Ever since their ancestor Su Jin perished at the hands of the "Heavenly Demon Child" San Tu Nu, and has yet to be reincarnated, the Su family's power and status have declined year by year. They have long since drifted away from the core of power and have not been noticed by the Empress for many years.

The two sisters could hardly remember the last time they received an imperial edict.

Su Qing then spoke:
“Little sister, after the incident at [Book Mountain], we were planning to sneak into [Yingfu Pagoda Realm], but the Empress suddenly issued an order, which is probably also closely related to that junior.”

"You should set off as soon as possible and return as soon as possible."

"Who knows, our Su family might produce a Duke!"

"Since the title of Duke, no one in the Celestial Dynasty has been promoted to Duke in a thousand years. Judging by the time, it should be about time."

Su Yan spoke up:
"Sister, take this opportunity to make arrangements and pave the way. Once I bring him back, I'll send him directly to the Imperial Academy."

"I realize that this is a chance for the Su family to turn things around, and we cannot afford to miss it!"

……

[Gu Long] It's truly tragic!
In the 100,000 years it has cultivated and attained enlightenment, it has never had such a frustrating experience.

While sitting at home, disaster struck from the sky. Not only did a mad dog come knocking and slaughter all his descendants, but he also got tricked and killed while chasing a showy corn spirit.

He wasn't like some of those reckless fools like [Xuanyuanzi] and [Shenxiaozi] who liked to take the bait.

Normally, it's the one that goes fishing on its own initiative; this is the first time that [Gu Long] has been lured away by someone else like a fish.

Once inside this divine kingdom, one is greeted by endless sacred words and sounds that are intoxicating and soul-stirring, as well as a vast ocean of faith puppets that, like immortal maggots, erode one's physical body and spiritual form.

As a result, [Gu Long] fell into a completely passive position!
The ruler of this divine kingdom is a true first-rank cultivator, a pillar of the top-tier [Divine Genealogy] who rules over a region beyond the heavens, and a great god whose status surpasses that of the [Ancient Dragon].

[Gu Long] Under immense pressure, he had no choice but to exert all his strength, unleashing his divine martial arts to fight back desperately.

Its blows landed squarely, killing the insurgents one by one, as easily as stepping on ants.

But these supplicants are immortal, inexhaustible, and endless.

As Gu Long's rival, God Gao Xiuquan was also quite frustrated.

It drew a line with Ren Chong and divided the two fish he caught, but the other side just picked up a fat corpse, while it ended up with this scourge.

This old White Bone Demon was thin, smelly, and tough, making him very difficult to deal with, which undoubtedly slowed down his progress.

If [God Gao Xiuquan] were to fight the enemy with all his might, [Gu Long] would naturally be no match for him, but in reality, he devoted half of his energy to [Ren Chong].

That naturally born swordsman is his greatest threat and number one enemy!
It was an existence he had to deal with with all his might.

In his eyes, Ren Chong, bound by his own thorny vines, was still slowly devouring the flesh and blood of the Shadow Demon Emperor, showing no signs of anything amiss.

However, he still kept eight-tenths of his energy focused on Ren Chong, not daring to move away at all.

Just then, Gu Long finally adjusted his state and unleashed his full power.

Sharp bone spikes slowly condensed on its fists, a transformation of the [Ancient Dragon]'s body.

Its punching stance has become increasingly wide and powerful, making it difficult to stop.

In terms of combat power, [Gu Long] is among the top in his class within the [Dao Yuan Universe]. Compared to him, [Heavenly Lord Gao Xiuquan] is nothing but a country bumpkin.

Even though this powerful being's magic is inherently strong, its combat system is not its focus, and its output ceiling is completely insufficient. Compared to the tough and resilient Ancient Dragon, it's practically a weak and effeminate creature.

[Gu Long] The more he fought, the more confident he became!
It's clear they've figured it out. No wonder people like Xuanyuanzi and Shenxiaozi love to use entrapment tactics; it turns out this is what it's like to wait for the enemy to deliver food to their door.

The cultivators outside are so weak!
However, it did not understand that the deity before it was already nearing the end of its life.

Long before the battle against it, the God Lord had been entangled with [Ren Chong] for hundreds of years.

Even now, the other side of this divine kingdom is the core of the battlefield.

There, Ren Chong was patiently gnawing at Shadow Demon Emperor.

This [Chunyangzi] was suppressed in this divine kingdom, and the continuous grinding and consumption had long since reached his limit.

The shadowy body of the Shadow Demon Emperor that he was currently consuming was like sweet nectar to him.

He chewed voraciously, faster and faster, like a gluttonous beast that never knew hunger.

However, any [Immortal Qi] that he recovers is sucked away by the thorny vines that are wrapped around his body and cannot be retained.

He had no way to break free from the constraints imposed by [God the Great and All-Encompassing].

However, Ren Chong was completely unaware of this and did not care, he just kept biting.

Until one moment, his teeth snapped as he bit down on something hard, giving him a sharp pain, and he finally stopped.

He used his mouth to pry open the Shadow Demon's flesh, revealing a small sword, about the size of a bamboo leaf, embedded inside.

Ren Chong smiled slightly, used his still white teeth to bite out the small sword, and then gently spat it out.

Then, a faint glint of sword light, like a light drizzle, inadvertently scattered outwards.

Ren Chong was not only a good swordsman, but also a good swordsmith, forging countless swords throughout his life.

Zhu Yun, his junior brother whom he both loved and disliked, relied on the [Immortal Sword Embryo] that he had attained enlightenment, but it was also created by him.

It was also his first work after he was promoted to the second rank.

After a long time, Ren Chong saw that his work had been refined by his junior brother to the first-grade level of the Immortal Sword of Immortality, and he was quite gratified.

In particular, the fact that Zhu Yun was willing to risk all dangers to sneak into this divine kingdom to help him break through the tribulation stirred up some ripples in Ren Chong's long-dormant Dao heart.

This is the true meaning of a high-quality Daoist partner!
The sword light transformed from the [Eternal Immortal Sword] is as thin as a hair, yet extremely sharp. Its first-grade rank grants it the status of a top-tier weapon of mass destruction.

It cut through the thorny vines that were wrapped around Ren Chong from top to bottom with a single sword stroke.

This top-tier killer in the void has been freed!

The first thing Ren Chong did after escaping was to pull the sword out of his heart.

Then, as if he were treating the sword as his own child, he picked it up and beat it mercilessly.

This Thunderous Immortal Sword, which he forged himself, should have been the source of his confidence.

However, due to his high spirituality, he fell into the mortal trap set by the "Great God Gao Xiuquan," which clouded his sword heart, causing "Ren Chong" to be defeated and completely suppressed.

He really deserves a good beating!
However, having learned from this experience, [Thunder Sword] has become wiser and its intelligence has reached a new level.

Right now, it had just escaped its predicament and was about to rush over to fight the enemy to the death, but was stopped by Ren Chong.

Just then, Zhu Yun and Luo Tian emerged from the body of the Shadow Demon Emperor and stood beside Ren Chong.

The three old friends met again after thousands of years and across mountains and rivers.

But there's no time for pleasantries right now!
[The Great God Gao Xiuquan] suddenly discovered that the great enemy had broken free and was frantically unleashing his magical power to attack [Ren Chong].

This naturally born swordsman spoke:
"Old Luo, you start boiling water while I get the rice to cook!"

After saying this, a thunderous roar resounded throughout the divine kingdom, and in an instant, the thunder of destruction erupted here, like an apocalyptic calamity that extinguished all life.

Both [God of Heaven Gao Xiuquan] and [Gu Long] were caught in the shadow of [Thunderous Immortal Sword], and for a moment, they were like chickens being slaughtered by a sledgehammer.

Don't assume that Ren Chong, having been trapped for so many years and suffering from serious injuries, is incapable of defeating these two formidable opponents.

Perhaps only Zhu Yun and Luo Tian, ​​who stood behind him, knew how terrifying Ren Chong was when he was suppressed to the extreme!
The Lightning of Annihilation truly destroys the world!
Ten days later, the [Gao Xiuquan Wuji Tian] was completely destroyed, all living beings were wiped out, but a [First-Rank Ancient Dragon] was spared.

Even on the Immortal Qi Mountain, a lightning tribulation manifested, collapsing a large white bone monument and blasting apart a white jade church.

The two beings, both above the first rank, have had all their essence eroded, perhaps even rendering them unable to reincarnate.

This "Mountain of Immortal Qi" is strange and mysterious, and few forces can affect anything on it.

Among the extremely rare powers capable of truly obliterating the divine and wondrous forces of the Great Dao on the [Mountain of Immortal Qi], the [Tribulation Lightning] power wielded by [Ren Chong] is also exceptionally powerful and extremely rare!
At this point, Ren Chong successfully broke through the tribulation, and his combat strength and cultivation level have significantly increased!
In the void, the three sat facing each other, while Luo Tian busied himself refining this Heavenly Being into a pot of porridge.

Meanwhile, Ren Chong was not idle either. He was taking out the most essential parts from the bodies of the God of Heaven Gao Xiuquan and the Ancient Dragon to forge swords.

He was able to escape this ordeal entirely thanks to the help of several younger relatives from his hometown.

As a senior figure in the sect's lineage and a master craftsman skilled in sword forging, the best way for him to repay the sect's kindness was to forge a top-quality immortal sword.

He took the steel and iron bones from the body of the ancient dragon and forged them into the "Force-Severing Immortal Sword Embryo," a sword as strong as steel and as hard as iron.

This is the protective sword that Ren Chong prepared for Chi Miao, out of pity for her sacrifice for the sect and her difficult reincarnation.

He then extracted the essence of the souls of countless supplicants from this divine kingdom and forged a [Soul-Slaying Immortal Sword Embryo], a strange immortal sword specifically designed to attack the soul and annihilate the primordial spirit.

This was specially crafted by Ren Chong for Shang Xi to compensate for his system's deficiency of being too strong but lacking in agility.

It is also to make up for the heroic sacrifices made by Shangxi in guarding the sect and protecting the lineage for three thousand years.

Finally, he used the most precious divine essence from the body of [Great God Gao Xiuquan] to forge a [Sacrificial Immortal Sword Embryo].

This is a sword of the soul forged by Ren Chong after experiencing the bitter consequences of his enemies' trials in the mortal world, which even tarnished the heart of the Thunder Immortal Sword. This Sacrificial Immortal Sword Embryo cuts through emotions, inner demons, faith, and karma; it is a unique sword that transcends the ordinary and is more metaphysical.

Even for Ren Chong now, this sword is a useful sword that can perfect his system and expand his foundation.

He forged this sword to give to Chixiao, who made the greatest contribution and played the most crucial role in this "Breaking the Stalemate" plan.

This newly promoted [Pure Yang Master] of our family is incredibly fortunate. He pulled the entire [Dao Ancestor] lineage from its depths of despair, carried it on his tender shoulders, and instead of struggling alone, he took flight!
After Ren Chong finished refining the three Immortal Sword Embryos, he brought out the Thunder Immortal Sword and added heavy layers of Tribulation Thunder Sword Qi to each of the three swords.

Then, he raised his hand and threw the three immortal swords into the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe].

The journey is long, and although Ren Chong possesses the Yuan Magnetic Secret Technique, which allows him to remotely lock onto targets and deliver them precisely, it is still difficult to prevent interference from others along the way.

However, the three immortal swords imbued with his sword energy had already transformed into extremely terrifying weapons of destruction, and would certainly not be stopped halfway.

After all that work, Ren Chong finally managed to arrange the gift for the younger generation.

Only then did he approach the pot and, after a long time, finally get to drink a mouthful of Lao Luo's delicious porridge.

While he was bound to the cross, what he longed for most was this incredibly delicious meal.

Then he spoke:
"Give me your beacons on the Immortal Qi Mountain, and I will give you some of Gao Xiuquan's and Gu Long's life tablets."

The two newly promoted second-rank officials dared not be negligent and hurriedly handed over the [Fate Stele] beacon, which determined their lives and fortunes, to [Ren Chong].

It's hard to imagine that such unreserved trust would fall upon three highly skilled cultivators.

The items given by Ren Chong are the most important resources for a second-grade cultivator to advance.

The remains of other cultivators' [Life Stele] are almost the only treasure that can accelerate the formation of a cultivator's [Life Stele].

Zhu Yun and Luo Tian received this blessing right after their promotions; their luck was truly incredible!

They could very well carve a new character right away, causing their strength to skyrocket!

In a great battle, the victorious side reaped immense benefits, and everyone enjoyed a brighter future.

Meanwhile, the terrifying state of Chunyangtian, who was filled with calamity and resentment, finally eased a little and breathed a crucial sigh of relief.

Ren Chong immediately said:
"Let's eat quickly, and after we're full, let's go find out where the [Yuanyang] Patriarch is."

"Hopefully we can still make it in time, and not end up at a grave collecting corpses."

……

The three [Immortal Sword Embryos] transformed into lightning and fled, traversing the void, but they did not advance in unison.

The one with the most powerful force, [Force to Sever Immortal Sword Embryo], took the lead, charging forward and smashing through all obstacles.

The [Soul-Slaying Immortal Sword Embryo] was like a lingering ailment, hidden in the shadow of the [Force-Severing Immortal Sword Embryo], carried by the [Force-Severing Immortal Sword Embryo] as it flew.

The [Sacrificial Immortal Sword Embryo] seemed to be a sword spirit, full of curiosity about everything, hovering around the [Force-Severing Immortal Sword Embryo], flying around erratically.

It would occasionally stray from its proper path, and the [Soul-Slaying Immortal Sword Embryo] would have to step in to pull it back.

All three immortal swords were full of spirituality, but the journey to the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe] was too far. After flying for a while, the three immortal swords stopped struggling and slowly fell silent.

Then, the sword energy that Ren Chong had laid down began to show its power, piercing through the void from time to time. Carrying the three immortal swords, it completed a space crossing, which undoubtedly saved a lot of travel time.

Even so, it still took the three swords a full year to travel before they finally arrived in the Dao Yuan Universe.

The three swords pierced straight into the northern sky, then split into two groups: one sword went to the [Yingfutu Realm], and the other two swords went to the [Yaogu Lin Realm].

When the [Sacrificial Immortal Sword Embryo] crossed the boundless void and arrived at the [Yingfu Pagoda Realm], more than three months had already passed.

An immeasurable and terrifying aura gathered upon it, as powerful as a lightning tribulation in the void, impossible to resist.

Just then, a void rift quietly opened in front of it, and sensing the energy, the [Sacrificial Immortal Sword Embryo] plunged into it.

It found itself in a very unique space, which was inexplicably narrow and winding like an appendix, with no way forward.

Moreover, this space is connected end to end, and it seems to have no end when it travels through it.

However, the [Sacrificial Immortal Sword Embryo] did not linger for long before it was stripped out of this space by a force.

However, the tribulation lightning sword energy that it carried was left in this space.

After the [Sacrificial Immortal Sword Embryo] emerged, it was firmly gripped by a hand and could not be freed.

But it knew perfectly well that this was its future master!
The immortal sword leaped up and entered the core of his soul, immediately merging with him and becoming inseparable.

While Jing Qian was in seclusion, he received a sword from Ren Chong from afar and was overjoyed to accept it.

At this point, he already possessed his fourth [Immortal Sword Embryo]!
This [Sacrificial Immortal Sword Embryo] is a sword of the mind and consciousness, and is extremely wondrous.

After it entered the sea of ​​consciousness, it quickly combined with one of Jing Qian's [Destiny], and the two were perfectly compatible.

This [Destiny] is a [Shadow] type [Destiny] obtained by Jing Qian after refining the [Shadow Demon Immortal Destiny Porridge].
【Destiny: Bitter Fog】

[Position: Destiny]

[The mountain shadows are obscured by thick fog, and the mirror reflects the indistinct shadows.]

This combination inexplicably transformed the [Sacrificial Immortal Sword Embryo] into a unique sword that disturbs the mind.

The sword strike, besides possessing the power of a celestial sword, also clouded the Dao heart and cast shadows, making it quite mystical.

If the poison of "Buddha's Salvation" is added on top of that, it becomes even more insidious and terrifying, making it difficult to resist.

With this immortal sword, Jing Qian's combat power continued to soar.

However, this was just one of the many gains he made during his seclusion.

During his year-long seclusion, he had almost completely absorbed the benefits he gained from eliminating the Three Poisons and Blood River.

But the progress of this great path was so captivating that he was unwilling to leave seclusion for a while.

……

In the Ancient Demon Realm, Shang Xi and Chi Miao also obtained an extremely powerful immortal sword, greatly increasing their strength.

This old man and this young man are considered the two unluckiest people in the Pure Yang Heaven, having missed out on all the good things.

For so many years, I have been using second-grade spiritual energy that I found on Hidden Sword Mountain.

Now, the two finally have their own [Immortal Sword Embryo]!
If refined properly, according to the [Pure Yang Heaven] secret method, when the two advance to the second rank, this [Immortal Sword Embryo] is very likely to reach the first rank of Immortal Sword in one step!
This was especially helpful to Shangxi, who was far inferior to his two great disciples in terms of both talent and opportunity.

With this [Immortal Sword Embryo], his incredibly solid foundation will greatly enhance his combat power!
The two of them settled down in the [Demon Ancient Lin Realm] and began their cultivation.

……

Outside the Yingfu Pagoda Realm, there is a magnificent treasure ship, which is the private property of the Feng family of the Wuji Heavenly Dynasty.

Feng Yu was killed by a sword while on a mission ordered by imperial decree. This was a major event that should have provoked a strong backlash from the Feng family.

But who could blame them when the commotion caused by [Pure Yang Heaven] was just too outrageous!

A great battle resulted in the deaths of three top-tier cultivators, the abduction of a first-grade cultivator, and the annihilation of a top-tier force that could be ranked among the best in the entire Dao Yuan Universe.

Such a victory made Feng Yu's death seem like swatting a fly, causing no ripples whatsoever.

No one even remembers how he died.

On this day, a void treasure ship with a shape extremely similar to the Feng Clan's ship descended upon the [Yingfutu Realm] and landed beside the Feng Clan's ship.

Although the two ships were similar in design, the new ship was undoubtedly a piece of junk compared to the Feng family's ship.

The cabin door opened, and a valiant female general clad in blue crystal armor emerged from it.

She possesses the cultivation level of "Star Picking" and is none other than Su Yan, the direct granddaughter of Su Jin Gong, the "Heavenly Appointed Privy Councilor".

She received the Empress's decree and carried out her family's mission, and it took her quite some time to arrive at the renowned [Yingfutu Realm].

For a moment, their fighting spirit was high!
Within the entire [Bei'e Yinghuang Wuji Tian], the most picturesque [Mountain Realm] is undoubtedly [Yingfutu Realm].

Within this realm, the number of high-level repairs produced almost accounts for half of the entire Northern Heaven, excluding the main lineage of the [Boundless Heavenly Dynasty].

In particular, Chunyangzi and Yanfuzi have surpassed the Guozi and Guogong of the Wuji Heavenly Dynasty, becoming the two most influential and representative lineages of Daoist masters in the entire Northern Heaven.

In the eyes of others, the "Imperial Academy" and even the "Duke" are shut-ins who rarely leave the Celestial Empire.

Unlike Chunyangzi and Yanfuzi, who stir up trouble everywhere.

However, in Su Yan's eyes, his purpose in coming here had nothing to do with the [Dao Ancestor] lineage.

She came here to find her relatives!
Su Jingong was nearly cursed to death by the curse of the "Heavenly Demon Child," which caused him to lose his lineage.

Very few survived.

Moreover, even after three thousand years, the lingering poison remains.

The Su family bloodline has an extremely high chance of dying young!
Su Zhao's ability to produce new bloodlines and offspring in this remote and impoverished area can be considered a testament to his hard work.

After entering the realm, Su Yan took out a blood-red jade pendant, sensed it briefly, and then headed straight to the north.

In the blink of an eye, the female general landed in the northern pass of the Divine Dynasty.

She strode along with great speed and confidence, seemingly oblivious to everyone around her.

This daughter of a military family was not at all spoiled or arrogant; she was quite free-spirited. After arriving at Su Zhao's residence, she didn't even knock on the door.

With a sweep of her divine sense, she spotted an old man and a young man in the martial arts arena in the backyard.

Then, he pulled out a large spear, stomped his foot, and thrust the spear forward like a dragon, aiming at the old man.

【Star-Picking】Dragon Spear, like a cold star illuminating the moon, is quite sharp!
It pierced the air, and the resulting violent sound waves made the entire Beishangguan area think that there was an enemy attack.

The old man who was teaching Su Min'er spear techniques was none other than Su Zhao, the "Heavenly Gifted General" of the Wuji Heavenly Dynasty.

When the dragon spear surged forth, he was not afraid at all. He also drew a large spear from his sea of ​​consciousness and thrust it at Su Yan opposite him, meeting her head-on.

For a moment, the two Su family members fought back and forth, each giving an equal chance.

The title of "Heavenly Privy Councilor" can be considered the pinnacle of military merit in the "Boundless Heavenly Dynasty".

The Su family tradition is naturally quite unique!

When relatives meet, there is no reminiscing, no small talk, only a showdown of weapons to test the waters.

Su Min'er watched the battle closely from the sidelines of the training ground. She was dazzled by the spectacle, but also gained a lot from it.

A fierce battle raged from day to night, with the two fourth-rank [Star-Picking] experts still locked in a stalemate.

Since it's family members in front of us, we can't bear to see them die. Just sparring isn't really enough to satisfy us!
