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

Chapter 199 The Blue Lotus Blooms
On the Immortal Qi Mountain, the remaining five beams of divine light were completely stunned.

I fought tooth and nail, expending a massive amount of my immortal energy, and the battle was about to be decided.

Unexpectedly, the [Time Sequence] disappeared inexplicably!

This makes all the powerful cultivators who come to compete for the [Time Sequence] seem like clowns.

Those who can cultivate to this level all possess some supernatural abilities, such as the ability to predict the future.

They did a simple calculation and knew that this matter was related to the [Insect Mother] and the last [Yanfuzi].

You big shots will remember this grudge!

There will be a long time to settle things, and there will inevitably be a time for reckoning.

And so, the five beams of divine light dissipated from the top of the Immortal Qi Mountain, and the entire Great Dao Illusion returned to complete tranquility.

This chaotic upheaval was the most exciting struggle over the Great Dao in nearly 30,000 years.

Even the highest-ranking [Time Order] God has lost one of his members.

The resulting impact is also extremely profound.

……

Inside the Golden Palace, the four empresses, through much persuasion, finally managed to convince the Human Being to stop.

The younger sister finally agreed to capture Jing Qian and bring him back to the palace so she could have children with him.

After all, of the two options, the human form in Jambudvipa has a high enough status, but it would involve the karma of the Jambudvipa Dao Ancestor, which is not a good choice in the long run.

Jing Qian, on the other hand, was different. That kid was weak in cultivation, young and healthy, and had no messy karma. He was clean and useful, making him perfect for keeping a mistress in a golden house.

Then [Tianxiang] spoke:
“I’m going with Ghostly Appearance to capture that brat. Little sister, you get ready.”

"As long as a divine child is born, the missing fortune will be filled, and the five of us can unite as one to compete for more [Time Sequence]."

"I'll have to trouble you with this matter!"

……

A chaotic battle between [Rakshasa] and [Chunyangzi] destroyed one-fifth of the entire [Yaogu Linhai].

These two were clearly only at the third-grade [Heaven-Mending] level, yet they unleashed combat power far exceeding that of ordinary second-grade experts.

The sword light of Shangxi is sharp and its killing power is self-evident. The combat system of this [Rakshasa] is also quite unique, worthy of being the combat power of a universe.

The Rakshasa Collection follows the path of the Great Asura Lord, cultivating the transformation of the physical body.

Their cultivation system is somewhat similar to the [Yanfu Dao] meat banquet lineage, but it places more emphasis on transformation and mimicry, focusing on the transformation of a thousand people into a thousand faces, and the way of becoming a god or an immortal.

Each of these "Rakshasa" is a cosplay master with countless split personalities, and absolutely no one knows their true identity or real name.

Throughout their cultivation journey, they become obsessed with replicating the avatars of other cultivators and perfectly replicating their supernatural powers.

As long as it can withstand the consumption of mana, this kind of replication can even far exceed its own rank, and it is easy to replicate the upper three ranks with the middle three ranks.

In battle, [Rakshasa] can transform into an avatar specifically designed to counter the enemy based on the opponent's characteristics.

This highly targeted supernatural power brings a higher win rate. Even if the opponent is ultimately defeated, the loss is only an avatar, and will not harm the life and safety of [Rakshasa] himself.

It can be said that among the many lineages of the Dao Ancestors, the Rakshasa lineage is the most shameless of all.

Among all the major sects, the sword cultivators' sharp and powerful attacks are naturally deeply ingrained in people's minds and are extremely difficult to resist.

How different cultivators can restrain sword cultivators is a question that requires long-term exploration.

Based on the experience of predecessors, it is generally accepted that there are three major systems that are most effective at eroding the offensive advantages of sword cultivators.

One is the "Undying" system, which has unlimited health bars and can switch between life and death. It uses endless vitality to offset the offensive advantages of sword cultivators, specifically targeting the disadvantages of sword cultivators' weak mana cultivation and insufficient endurance.

Secondly, there is the "summoning" or "clone" system, which creates countless clones and produces an endless army. Relying on the advantage of sheer numbers, they form formations to fight against sword cultivators and suppress their room to maneuver.

Thirdly, there is the "curse flow," a poisonous practice that avoids direct combat and instead employs insidious and treacherous tactics from behind.

These three routes correspond exactly to the three major paths of the [Yanfu Path].

The reason why the [Yanfu Dao] and [Chunyang Tian] have been locked in a love-hate relationship for so many years is precisely because of this.

For this [Rakshasa], he had already prepared a powerful avatar to target sword cultivators.

When Xi Zhan unleashed his vast sword light, he immediately revealed his trump card.

Within the [Mountain and River Map Universe], there is a [Mokha] lineage that can cultivate the [Mokha Serpent] supernatural power.

Once mastered, one can transform into an endless serpent, absorbing all energy and devouring all attacks, remaining immortal and indestructible, without diminishing or losing anything.

Even if the incoming magical power exceeds its own limit, it can be neutralized through infinite proliferation and infinite division.

This is a unique lineage that combines "immortality" and "summoning clones".

Faced with Shangxi's first wave of sword strikes, [Rakshasa] transformed into a high-level second-rank [Mokha Serpent], without dodging at all, swallowing all of the opponent's sword strikes.

The giant serpent's body flickered, splitting into more than a dozen smaller [Mokha Serpents], which scattered and burrowed towards [Yaogu Linhai].

The remaining body continued to roll upwards regardless of the consequences.

Faced with the well-prepared [Rakshasa], Shangxi was immediately put on the defensive.

After his advancement, he has not yet returned to the Pure Yang Cave Heaven to double his fundamental sword energy.

For him, his combat strength was directly reduced by a large margin.

The giant snake opposite us had thick, sticky skin and flesh that was impossible to cut!
He also saw through the opponent's ability to absorb his sword energy and divide the small snake.

Shang Xi instantly changed his tactics, sheathing his fierce sword energy and instead unleashing a unique sword intent.

This is the accompanying technique he developed after refining and polishing the [Soul-Slaying Immortal Sword Embryo].

After he cultivated another soul-type [Destiny], he formed a complete combat force.

This [Soul Slaughter] sword intent breaks free from the constraints of magic power, specifically targeting the soul, slaying the mind, and severing emotions.

It is also the most effective counter to the "Moksha Serpent," an undying and indestructible creature with an infinite health bar.

In an instant, the Serpent of Mokha suffered an indelible wound to its soul, and its aura weakened.

This is a truly equal contest between Daoists. Both Chunyangzi and Luoshazi are powerful sects in their respective universes, so it won't be easy to determine a winner.

Shangxi has done everything he could to kill the smaller snakes that separated from the [Moksha Serpent].

However, under the deliberate manipulation of [Rakshasa], two fish managed to slip through the net and sneak into the depths of [Yaogu Linhai], heading towards Chi Miao's hiding place.

These two small snakes were, after all, beings of the second rank, and could easily manipulate the reincarnation of a goddess who had not yet attained Dharma form.

For him, the outcome of the battle against Shang Xi was not important. As long as he could completely destroy the reincarnation of the goddess and eliminate the possibility of her return, he would have completed the ultimate mission given to him by the entire world of the [Mountain and River Map Universe].

Inside the cave, Chi Miao's process of advancing and condensing his [Dharma Image] is progressing smoothly.

With the [Fire of Evil] energy she plundered from the [Demon Ancient Lin Hai], she has no shortage of resources for advancement; she only needs to fully unleash her potential.

The true wonder has an extremely special origin. It is the most fundamental spiritual treasure of the [Mountain and River Map Universe], the [Mountain and River Map], on which a human form of [Empress Nuwa] was born with intelligence, but was destroyed and reincarnated.

Her existence represents a leakage of a trace of the spiritual essence of the magical treasure [Shanhe Tu], a fundamental event that could affect the very survival of the [Shanhe Tu Universe].

Therefore, the [Mountain and River Map Universe] will surely gather the power of the entire world to destroy Chi Miao.

If it weren't for the underlying reasons, very few people would know about it, and it wouldn't easily cause a big stir or attract attention.

The [Mountains and Rivers Universe] has probably already gathered all the powerful figures from different realms and is coming to the [Dao Abyss Divine Shuttle Universe].

Yuan Yang's reckless act of bringing the reincarnation of Nuwa back to his own sect was utterly insane.

Such terrifying karmic calamities would be something that other sects and lineages would avoid at all costs.

But when it came to Yuan Yang, he thought he was pretty awesome.

Of course, he didn't actually know the true background of Chi Miao, and perhaps even Chi Miao himself was confused and only had a vague understanding.

Even though Yuanyang was suppressed by the entire Yuanshi sect as a result, they only thought it was because they stood out from the crowd and were envied by the heavens, without suspecting anything else.

However, at this moment, the cause and effect have finally reached the point of concentrated eruption.

The curse behind her was reversed by Chi Miao, and the [Mountain and River Map Universe] finally sent someone to personally end her life.

Two [Mahā Serpents] streaked like lightning, following a unique magical guidance, and descended upon the entrance to the cave where Chi Miao was in seclusion.

Just as the two giant snakes were about to enter, two immortal zombies appeared from the left and right.

【Hanba】 Huohuo and 【Mother Yaksha】 Lingling were left by Shangxi to protect Chimiao.

As soon as they revealed themselves, they became entangled with the two large snakes.

In an instant, immense magical power erupted from the bodies of the four great demons.

Although Lingling and Huohuo are also at the second rank of cultivation, their foundations are not deep, and they are still only at the [Wordless Stele] level.

It's fine as a scabbard for Shang Xi to nurture his great sword, but it's simply not enough to compete with the Daoist disciples.

Even the two of them were at a disadvantage against the offspring of the [Moksha Serpent].

Seeing that the two of them couldn't hold out for much longer, Chi Miao finally broke through in the cave behind them.

This little girl is a reincarnation of a trace of spirituality from a [spiritual treasure]. Although her origins are unusual, she did not have the human desire for enlightenment in her first life.

This is the fundamental difference between the long-lived, lazy race and the short-lived, powerful human race.

However, upon her rebirth, she was imbued with more humanity, especially influenced by the Pure Yang Heaven lineage, and truly embarked on the path of the Lord of Calamity.

When she also began to compete fiercely, her talent, character, and background all came to a head!

Unlike Chi Xiao, who rose from humble beginnings to achieve extraordinary success, Chi Miao was a true born saint, an unparalleled genius.

She easily broke through the heavenly barrier, condensing a unique Dharma image:

[The Holy Nuwa's Transcendental Manifestation to Mend the Heavens!]
Following Chi Xiao, Chunyang Heaven has added another Saintly Being, and it is a pair of Saintly Beings of the same generation.

If it were any other lineage of the Dao Ancestor, this would be clear evidence of a meteoric rise from the ground.

It can be placed on [Pure Yang Heaven], and taking off on the spot or crashing to death is only a matter of time.

Calamity arises and departs, elusive and unpredictable!
After Chi Miao attained the [Saintly Appearance], his [Azure Wing Life Essence] instantly condensed, turning from azure to blue, and instantly obtained [Blue Blood Life Essence], advancing to the [Longevity] realm.

She merely used the [Fire of Evil] to lightly burn her [Saintly Appearance], and a unique Daoist rhythm of time arose from it.

The [Clock of Time], which was in the midst of a transformation, quietly appeared, and a [Time Sequence] descended from the sky, falling into her sea of ​​consciousness and connecting with her soul.

This is truly the pinnacle of spiritual rebirth of the [Landscape Painting]!

Upon entering the Dao, one can leave behind a few tears at the [Mountain of Immortal Qi].

The realm of "Longevity" naturally attracts the power of "Time Sequence".

This is ensuring her smooth and successful career advancement!
No wonder the [Mountain and River Map Universe] went to great lengths to kill her. If they allowed her to advance smoothly, the [Mountain and River Map Universe] would probably have to switch sides.

[Time Sequence] The power entered her body, causing Chi Miao's cultivation and combat strength to surge. In her sea of ​​consciousness, a candle flame was quietly lit.

This is because she has completely ignited her own lifespan!
Empowered by this magic, the [Severing Immortal Sword Embryo] transformed into a surging sword light that slashed heavily onto the [Moksha Serpent], which was entangled with Lingling.

The first-grade [Immortal Sword Embryo], under Chi Miao's magical power, behaved unusually submissively, like a lapdog. This was completely different from the arrogant swords in the hands of Shang Xi and Jing Qian.

With a single sword strike, the giant snake was cleaved in two.

In the blink of an eye, the two snake sections grew heads and tails again, turning into two new snakes, and their magical aura remained undiminished.

But Chi Miao was completely unaware and continued to slash with his sword, resulting in more and more of the [Moksha Serpent]'s offspring.

Only when the number of them reached Chi Miao's satisfaction did she sheathe her sword light and summon her [Nuwa Saint Transformation to Mend the Heavens].

This [Saintly Image] is a divine figure with a snake's tail and a human body. As soon as it appeared, these [Mahayana Serpents] were struck as if by lightning and all stopped moving.

Subsequently, Chi Miao disappeared into the swarm of snakes and began to use his own [Saintly Appearance] to absorb all the large snakes, which then entered the snake tail of the [Saintly Appearance].

She intends to use the [Mahakala Serpent] to refine a [Spiritual Machine] that suits her own Dharma form!
Chi Miao's combat power far exceeded the expectations of Ling Baozi and Luochazi.

Their strategic plan suffered a major setback right from the start!

Currently, [Rakshasa] is locked in a stalemate against two opponents and has failed to recover quickly.

As the battle lines are stretched out, naturally many variables will arise.

Far away within the Yingfutu Realm, in the Chunyang Cave Heaven, the Sword Lotus Pool was flashing wildly.

This is Shangxi calling for reinforcements!
He clearly sensed the enemy's strength. Although he was not at a disadvantage for the time being, he always had an extreme sense of danger on his body.

He was trying his best to increase the strength of his side.

He couldn't predict whether other masters would lend a hand, but his disciple Chixiao should be able to help if nothing unexpected happened.

He possesses spatial abilities, allowing him to travel back and forth with ease.

……

When Chi Miao condensed the [Nuwa Saint's Transcendental Manifestation to Mend the Heavens], a phantom of the Great Dao appeared above [Yao Gu Lin Hai].

This is exactly the same situation as when Jing Qian condensed the image of "the Sage of Mount Sumeru wielding a sword to open the six realms of reincarnation".

Those cultivators who were paying attention immediately noticed this wondrous phantom of enlightenment.

Especially Ling Baozi, who was constantly watching the changes in the goddess.

At this very moment, he was manipulating seventeen first-grade [Spiritual Ability] illusions, engaging in a fierce battle with the [Duke of Dingguo].

Those spiritual insights that have caught Lingbaozi's eye, been thoroughly understood by him, and stored in his sea of ​​consciousness are all extraordinary.

Especially knowing that he was going to risk coming to this [Daoyuan Divine Shuttle Universe] to find the reincarnation of the goddess.

All the highly skilled cultivators in the [Mountain and River Map Universe] voluntarily opened up their innate [Spiritual Energy] power to him, allowing him to study and absorb it freely.

These seventeen [spiritual energies] are all [heretical moons] with outstanding combat power. They can exhibit quite superb combat power without [Ling Baozi] having to painstakingly control them.

Within Duoqiu's sea of ​​consciousness, there are thirteen other phantoms of [Spiritual Energy], all of which are resource-type [Spiritual Energy] that produce mana, supplying the mana consumption of these seventeen combat-type [Spiritual Energy].

With the thirty [spiritual energies] he could control simultaneously after his promotion, he managed to withstand the full-force attack of the [Duke of Dingguo] without being at a disadvantage.

Even though the reborn Duke of Dingguo was no longer careless towards his enemies, he was much more cautious.

However, Lingbaozi's foundation was truly profound, and his combat system was truly overpowered. Even the Duke of Dingguo seemed unable to withstand it.

He dared not be careless at all, and immediately took out a [Five Emperors Divine Light] and activated it.

The Duke of Dingguo was extremely familiar with the Empress's methods, and this was not the first time he had been gifted with Divine Light during his cultivation career.

Although his aptitude was somewhat lacking and he couldn't refine the [Divine Light], his experience in fighting enemies using the [Divine Light] was by no means weak.

He transformed the Five Emperors' Divine Light into a streak of light and wrapped it around his fists.

Then, when he made his move again, the power of his fist energy was comprehensively enhanced, entering a new level.

With a single punch, the Duke of Dingguo completely blasted away the illusion of Lingji!
This [Five Emperors Divine Light] will be a crucial turning point for him to reverse the entire battle situation.

His sudden outburst did not have any negative impact on Duoqiu.

This Lingbaozi was completely unconcerned about his spiritual energy being knocked down.

He sensed the battlefield situation on [Rakshasa's] side once more, and finally made up his mind.

The situation on both sides is not optimistic; neither side can achieve a quick victory in the short term, and there is even a possibility of defeat.

Now, he and [Rakshasa] have completely failed.

However, their failure does not mean the failure of the [Mountain and River Map Universe]!
How could such a crucial matter concerning the safety of the entire realm be completely entrusted to two [Star-Picking] cultivators without any backup plan?

Lingbaozi summoned a hazy gray mirror called Lingji from his own sea of ​​consciousness and placed it outside the battlefield.

He used his own spiritual energy to cleanse the mirror, as if wiping away the dust that had settled on it.

Before long, the [Mysterious Mirror] spiritual mirror, which was of the first grade, became clearer and clearer.

A blue lotus quietly appeared on the spirit mirror.

In reality, the powerful beings within the [Mountain and River Map Universe] do not have such high requirements for [Ling Baozi] and [Luo Shazi].

They were only after the mission rewards, which is why they wanted to try to destroy the reincarnation of the goddess with their own abilities.

With the current plan failing, [Ling Baozi] immediately changed his approach and began to carry out his original task.

The [Mysterious Mirror] before him was a renowned spatial [spiritual mechanism] within the [Mountain and River Map Universe].

Duoqiu originally only needed to send the illusion of the [Mysterious Mirror] near the goddess to complete his mission.

Relying on the connection between this [Mysterious Mirror] illusion and the main body, the [Mountain and River Map Universe] can naturally send truly powerful cultivators over from a distance.

【Lingbaozi】 and 【Luoshazi】 are at most considered scouts and transport team members.

The person truly responsible for overcoming difficulties is someone else!

The blue lotus in the [Mysterious Mirror] shimmered with magical light.

A fierce sword intent surged forth from it.

This sword intent was majestic and imposing, as deep and vast as the sea, and unfathomable.

When the sword intent reached its peak, the blue lotus fell, and a sword light slashed out from the [Mysterious Mirror]!

From within the sword light, a figure emerged from the void, each step creating a lotus flower.

The newcomer was dressed in a plain, dark blue robe with white trim, and was unadorned. Only his chilling sword intent was so solid that it rippled through the space itself.

His face was ancient and his gaze was downcast, like a deep, still pool, as if it contained the weight of eternity.

He wore no sword, but merely held a sword-wielding gesture in front of his chest, his fingertips emitting wisps of sword light. With each breath, he drew upon the surrounding energy, transforming it into an invisible torrent of sword energy.

Its power is like a prison; even before it moves, it has already intimidated all directions!
This is another powerful inheritance within the [Mountain and River Map Universe], and the [Azure Lotus Sword Sect] has arrived!
As soon as his figure appeared, countless sword lights burst forth, splitting into millions, and slashed towards the Duke of Dingguo, who was entangled in battle with Lingbaozi.

The dignified first-rank Duke, wielding the Empress's [Five Emperors Divine Light], threw a punch with all his might, attempting to use it to block the opponent's sword light.

However, the sword light was all-pervasive and incredibly sharp, easily finding a gap in his defense and striking his body.

The newly resurrected Duke Dingguo was swept away by endless sword light and perished once again!
He didn't even have to use two of the Five Emperors' Divine Lights.

Upon hearing the arrival of the person, Duo Qiu immediately bowed and said:
"My plans with Lao Luo have not gone well, so I'm grateful to Master Shi for cleaning up the mess."

But the newly arrived [Qinglianzi] simply nodded, then rode a sword beam and drifted away, heading straight for [Yaogu Linjie].

This [Azure Lotus Seed] Shi Xuan has been a Daoist for many years and possesses extraordinary magical power, already reaching the first rank!
The Azure Lotus Sword Sect, from which he hailed, is the only sword-cultivation lineage in the Mountain and River Map Universe. It follows the path of the Primordial Lord, cultivating the Five Great Daos of the Innate Realm, and naturally possesses unparalleled combat power.

Among the two powerful realms, the [Mountain and River Map Universe] and the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe], the only true lineage of the [Dao Ancestor] who attained enlightenment solely through the sword is that of [Xuanyuan], [Chunyang], and [Qinglian].

The Shenxiao Palace, which also practices thunder magic, can at most be considered half a sect.

These three sword-making traditions each have their own unique paths of cultivation, making it difficult to determine which is superior.

Among them, the Pure Yang Heaven sect cultivates the Sword Box, which goes without saying.

The Xuanyuan Sword Sect cultivates sword pellets, believing that the one who forges a sword pellet achieves the Great Dao.

This path uses the body as a furnace and the will of the spirit as a hammer, fusing a lifetime of sword energy, sword intent, and sword dao insights into an immortal sword seed.

Once the sword pellet is formed, the body and the sword become one, and the power can be unleashed at the slightest thought. Its power is concentrated in a single point, and its penetrating force is unparalleled in the heavens.

During a battle, sword pellets are launched with a flick of the finger, faster than a flash of light, and capable of tearing through the void.

Furthermore, it can freely divide into thousands of sword threads to set up a deadly sword formation, integrating offense and defense, and changing at will. It is the only way to pursue ultimate lethality and flexible control.

The Azure Lotus Sword Sect, which comes from the [Mountain and River Map Universe], is different; it cultivates [Sword Light].

This is a true method of transforming sword energy into qi, condensing qi into qi, and then weaving powerful sword qi into a strong sword light.

【Sword Light】It is formless and intangible, it does not rely on external objects, it can gather and disperse at will, and it can transform into a vast starry river or condense into a line to break through the void in the blink of an eye.

Its power increases infinitely with the depth of one's cultivation, and it can even evolve into the Five Great Daos of the Primordial World. The flowing sword light contains the principles of the birth and death of the universe, which can erode the laws of the Dao and destroy all laws.

During a battle, sword light blankets the sky, leaving no room for evasion. It can also be endlessly generated and cyclical, crushing everything with its overwhelming power. This is the supreme sword path that pursues absolute control and the evolution of laws.

Just like the magnificent sword light of [Qinglianzi] Shi Xuan when he killed [Duke Dingguo], it can easily wash away the opponent's defense and wear down their vitality.

This Shi Xuan is the true trump card that the [Mountain and River Map Universe] prepared to destroy the reincarnation of the goddess.

The Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe was protected by a boundary membrane, allowing Shi Xuan to enter it silently.

Therefore, Lingbaozi and Luoshazi were sent to transport the illusion of Xuanjian.

Now that the main character has arrived, the stage has instantly been handed over to [Qinglianzi] Shi Xuan.

Such a truly awesome top-tier swordsman, if Chunyang [Ren Chong] doesn't appear, who can compete with him?

Anyway, the three weaklings left in the realm, Shangxi, Chixiao, and Chimiao, should not be able to withstand a single sword strike from Shi Xuan.

……

When Chi Miao condensed the [Saintly Image], Jing Qian also sensed it and, from an infinitely distant distance, saw the battle between Shang Xi and Chi Miao.

At this moment, he had just experienced the sealing of the Life Stele space. He had planned to wait until the [Sumeru Great Dao Stele] completed its advancement and digested the changes before going out.

However, since his fellow disciples had been attacked, and the enemy was no small foe, he naturally could not stand idly by.

Jing Qian emerged from seclusion once more, using the divine power of the [Void Lord] to traverse a vast realm and appear on the battlefield.

However, he was not in a hurry to make a move, but was just holding back for Shangxi and Chimiao.

Seeing that Shangxi was engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy and was quite engrossed in it, and since there was no immediate danger to his life, he didn't need to worry about him.

On the other side, Chi Miao was also using the enemy as raw materials to refine the [Spiritual Energy], so there was no need to disturb them.

He watched the battle calmly, wary of any underhanded tricks the enemy might use, but inexplicably, he looked up.

Within the gaze of [Eternal Moment], an exaggerated [sword light], as vast as a celestial river, was rushing towards [Yao Gu Lin Hai].

Within that terrifying sword light lay boundless killing intent and entangled causal threads, clearly aimed directly at the three of them!

Jing Qian had just witnessed a battle between two powerful cultivators on the Immortal Qi Mountain, which greatly broadened his understanding of truly formidable cultivators.

When he saw the sword light, he was completely stunned, feeling as if a thick cloud of black smoke enveloped his forehead.
