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

Chapter 275 The Great Transaction: No Problems

[Jian Yi] still looked like a frail child. He looked Jing Qian up and down and was amazed by his progress.

He has been cultivating for many years and has killed countless geniuses, but the eighth brother in front of him can be called the one who has made the fastest progress in cultivation!
It took him several hundred years to leap from the third rank to the [Time Sequence] realm.

Even the direct disciple of [Yi] was quite shocked.

However, he invested heavily in Lao Ba (Old Eight) precisely for this purpose.

He just opened his mouth and said:
"it is good!"

“Normally, the third and fourth brothers, taking advantage of their numbers, would shamelessly gang up on me two by one.”

"Now that we [Italy] have two people on our side, I must take my revenge."

"Eighth Brother, I don't need you to do anything else."

"You just need to stop the fourth sister for now and prevent her from getting involved in my fight with the third sister."

"Today, we are locked in a fight to the death!"

After saying that, the fifth brother raised his hand and pointed, and the illusion they were in suddenly burst forth with boundless magical power, which began to compress inward.

With his helper in hand, the fifth brother became extremely arrogant.

He compressed his illusion into a giant dragon, which carried the two of them as it charged toward the [Illusory Ruins].

Jing Qian stood behind him, carefully sensing the power of [Sword One].

At this moment, he had already achieved the [Time Sequence] rank, his horizons had broadened greatly, and the peak cultivation of [Sword One] in front of him was at the [Other Shore] level.

Later, he offended someone he shouldn't have, and was crippled in the mortal world. After returning to the [Illusory Ruins], he barely managed to survive with the help of the power of [Intent].

His cultivation level also dropped to the [Transcendence] rank as a result.

Before Jing Qian advanced to the [Time Sequence] level, the gap between his cultivation and [Sword One] was too great, and he couldn't see through the other's strength at all.

His strength has greatly improved, and he has gained a lot from observing the magical fluctuations of the Transcendent powerhouse at close range.

The great dragon rampaged through the [Imaginary Ruins], heading straight for the residence of the third and fourth brothers.

It crashed headfirst into an illusion, smashing a large hole through it.

Then, the dragon's claws reached into the large hole and frantically rummaged around, trying to forcibly pull out the owner inside.

Finally, a tall, elegant lady dressed in palace attire emerged from the light.

[Sword One] then said:
"Fourth brother, I have help now. You can wait until I've dealt with the third brother before I come looking for trouble with you."

"Eighth Brother, you hold her off for me, I'll be right back."

Having said that, the great dragon unloaded Jing Qian and carried [Sword One] deeper into the depths.

Only Jingqian and Lao Si remained at the scene, staring at each other in bewilderment.

The beautiful woman opposite him smiled slightly and said:
"So you're the newcomer from [Dayuan]?"

"I think your judgment is terrible; you actually followed that good-for-nothing fool, Lao Wu."

"The inheritance of [intention] is so meaningless. Even if you cultivate it to a high level, it is still weak and feeble."

"Why don't you join my sect [Wu] and go beat up Lao Wu with the two of us?"

"You don't know, but the fifth brother's soul has already merged with [the will] again."

"It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is the embodiment of [Intention]!"

"If you beat him badly, you can squeeze out the [Element of Intent] from his body, just like a cow, which is quite convenient."

"What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Qian narrowed his eyes, clearly somewhat tempted.

The [Element of Intent], as a scarce [Power of the Dao], has many uses.

Especially after reaching the first rank, it greatly aided Jing Qian's cultivation, and was no longer just for refining [Divine Mechanism].

It's incredibly difficult to exchange a few blows with [Sword One] on a normal day.

So there are other ways to obtain it!
No wonder the third and fourth brothers are always bullying the fifth brother; they probably treat him like a juicer.

However, he ultimately did not accept the olive branch extended by the fourth brother.

The [Heart Sword] method has been of great help to his cultivation journey, and he has already gained all the benefits from it.

He couldn't bring himself to do something as despicable as betrayal.

Furthermore, rather than following behind the third and fourth brothers to extract [Elements of Intent], what he desired even more were these two powerful enemies before him.

Being able to acquire two [Transcendent] level experts to hone one's skills is also a top-tier resource!
Jing Qian immediately replied:
"Fourth brother, don't tempt me. I still owe fifth brother a favor."

"My cultivation is not high enough; I have only just advanced to the [Time Sequence] level. Please, Fourth Brother, show mercy."

Having said that, he suddenly attacked!

Instantly, his brow opened, and an incomparably vast [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] burst forth, enveloping the fourth brother within it.

The four [Sword Pellets] revealed boundless killing intent, blending into the [Sword Formation], stirring up a surging tide of swords, and began to sweep wildly.

Even though the fourth brother was a transcendent being, he was not afraid at all and launched a full-scale attack!

Judging from the power of this [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] alone, it has increased by more than a hundred or a thousand times compared to before his advancement!
His own killing technique possessed unparalleled power, with an incredibly high upper limit.

As Jing Qian's strength increased, the power of the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] also rose accordingly.

The magnificent sword formation, radiating world-destroying power, far exceeded the capabilities of a normal time-sequence cultivator.

Jing Qian transformed into a sword of light, freely traversing the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation]. Compared to his previous experience of manipulating formations, he felt that the stagnation and difficulty had lessened considerably, becoming incredibly smooth.

Without a doubt, after he completed his advancement, the power of the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] surged, and it finally became his primary combat method.

Within the sword formation, the fourth brother's body was covered by a layer of black, transparent film, which absorbed a large amount of sword light and trembled, as if it were about to shatter at any moment.

Her eyes flashed like lightning as she gazed at the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] before her with great appreciation, seemingly enjoying the impact of the sword light.

The fourth sister had a very broad perspective and exceptional knowledge. She began to speak:
"Eighth Brother, whose secret teachings are these from the Great Abyss? They're so beautiful!"

Is it a [Celestial Saint] or a [Saint of Fate]?

"I can't tell the difference!"

"Actually, if I weren't the direct descendant of [Wu] and possess the inheritance of [Wu Sheng], I would definitely guess that this is the method of [Wu].

"After all, this ultimate sword path should resonate with my true meaning of [nothingness]."

"Eighth Brother, how about selling me this [Sword Formation] inheritance?"

"Name your price!"

Jing Qian ignored him and focused solely on unleashing his full power.

The thin membrane on the fourth brother's body was actually able to completely negate the destructive power of the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation]!

Jing Qian certainly didn't think this was a problem with the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation]. He could only say that the person using the sword formation was too incompetent and couldn't unleash its full power.

He was an unparalleled figure in the present world of [Dayuan], killing gods and Buddhas alike in his path.

However, when it came to the "Daydreaming Society," it still fell short compared to these senior figures.

However, it is precisely this formidable enemy that allows Jing Qian to unleash his fighting spirit.

He began to push himself to the limit, continuing to unleash the power of the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation].

He forcefully squeezed out a wisp of [Temporal Dao Power] and poured it into the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation].

The power of the entire sword formation suddenly erupted!
His seemingly simple operation is a realm that even many first-rank [Time Sequence] experts can only dream of.

The rank of [Dao Power] is far superior to that of [Immortal Qi] or other magical powers.

Currently, the fundamental magical power Jing Qian uses to drive the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] is still his vast and mighty [Nine Desolate Immortal Qi].

However, after his advancement, his [Immortal Qi] power increased fortyfold, and its efficiency also greatly increased, allowing him to better unleash the power of the sword formation.

In reality, for the vast majority of [Time Sequence] cultivators, there are not many supernatural methods that can bear [Dao Power].

The only way for most [Time Sequences] to digest [Dao Power] is to comprehend the Great Dao of Time and use [Time Sequence Refresh] to save their lives.

Other supernatural powers and spiritual abilities, if driven by Dao power, will most likely collapse on their own first!

The two are not even in the same league and are incompatible.

Therefore, for cultivators specializing in [Time Sequence], what truly differentiates their strength, besides the capacity of [Immortal Qi] and the intensity of [Spiritual Energy], is the method that effectively utilizes [Dao Power], which is the core factor that can deliver a decisive blow.

With a million [Nine Desolate Immortal Qi] and nine [Sword Dao Divine Mechanisms], Jing Qian could easily sweep across his generation, suppressing the entire [Chronicle of Time] so that no one dared to challenge him.

But when facing this fourth brother, conventional methods are no longer enough!
He has to unleash his true potential.

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, driven by the power of time, was undoubtedly his ultimate means of breaking the deadlock when facing a transcendent being.

At this moment, the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation], which he had completely ignited, was even more violent, seemingly capable of breaking through this [Illusory Ruins].

The fourth brother also became cautious in the face of the new round of sword formations.

Eighth Brother is pulling out all the stops. Although she admires him quite a bit, she's unwilling to be truly suppressed by him. She still needs to maintain her dignity as a senior!
Then the fourth brother began his real rebellion.

The black membrane covering her body began to grow thicker and heavier.

Slowly, like solidified asphalt or pitch-black lava, it dripped down from Lao Si's body.

This black magma spread along the ground towards the entire [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] at an extremely fast speed!

Jing Qian immediately felt that his [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] had become incredibly heavy once again.

The black magma, like a highly absorbent gel, was frantically absorbing the sword light of the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation], slowing down the operation of the entire sword formation.

Jing Qian felt like he was dancing in shackles!

As the lava spread, Jing Qian looked down at the black earth from his high vantage point and actually saw through the lava to see a reflection beneath it.

This is an incomparably vast and terrifying hell!

It is the true bottom of reincarnation, the abyss of death, the den of demons.

Jing Qian could see clearly that there were countless demons and monsters inside, as well as boundless lava magic power, which was extremely terrifying!
Just then, the fourth brother transmitted his voice:

"Eighth Brother, how about I trade this protective technique for your [Sword Formation] technique?"

"My [Hell Peace Token] is a secret transmission of [Wu Sheng]. It takes the true meaning of creating something from nothing and can absorb all external attacks, transform them into tangible matter, and penetrate deep into hell."

"Your [Sword Formation] is quite powerful, but unfortunately you've encountered me."

"No matter how powerful your sword light is, it's nothing more than adding a few more fires to my [Hell]."

"Unless your sword is a hundred or a thousand times stronger, strong enough to burst my [Hell]."

Otherwise, you have absolutely no chance of winning!

"Well, think it over carefully. This is an extremely rare opportunity!"

The fourth brother immediately took a liking to the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation]!
This ultimate method of ultimate teaching is a perfect match for her inheritance of "nothingness," greatly compensating for the shortcomings of her own system.

That's right, for someone with the cultivation level of the fourth brother to still have a weakness in his cultivation system is definitely an anomaly!
The fourth brother's system is severely unbalanced, with a weak offense and a strong defense, and the gap between the two is enormous.

All her spiritual practice was contained on this "Hell Without Trouble" plaque.

All the accumulation of the past has been transformed into this boundless [hell].

Therefore, among those of the same rank, she has never encountered an enemy capable of breaking through her defenses.

However, this method itself has little offensive power, and the other attack methods that the fourth brother possesses are much weaker than the [Peaceful Token].

When she saw the potential of the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation], she had the idea of ​​exchanging it.

In response to her request, Jing Qian said:
"Please don't make things difficult for me, senior!"

"This sword formation was something I comprehended on my own by chance from the lineage of cultivation; there is no corresponding cultivation method."

"My own cultivation method is not up to the required level, and I'm afraid it won't meet the expectations of you, senior."

But then the fourth brother spoke up and replied:

"It's alright!"

"Since you can comprehend it, and I have the inheritance of [Nothingness], try it more, and I'm sure you can also comprehend it to a large extent."

"Since there's nothing else to do here in this [Illusory Ruins], I might as well cultivate for a few more years, shall I?"

"Then you might as well sell me your [Sword Formation] inheritance!"

“I’ll trade you the inherited method corresponding to this ‘Hell No Trouble Token’.”

Jing Qian was taken aback by these words, and immediately seized the opportunity to say:

"Is this true?"

"Then I'll take this deal!"

Immediately, he absorbed the raging [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] back into the [Azure Lotus Sword Box] and filled it into the top layer.

This [Divine Mechanism] possesses extraordinary power, allowing for complete control over the deployment of the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] without diminishing its power in the slightest.

The next time they fight, Jing Qian can simply raise his hand and summon the sword formation, which is quite convenient.

After withdrawing his offensive, he spoke to the fourth brother again:

"Senior, then I will exchange this Chaos Sword Scripture for a secret technique with you."

"I swear that all my sword formation techniques were derived from this lineage."

"If I have uttered any falsehoods, may my cultivation never advance an inch further!"

For those who cultivate themselves, this is arguably the most poisonous oath ever made!
He really wasn't lying; his [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] was something he gradually comprehended from the [Chaos Sword Scripture]!

However, he only hid a small detail and subtly changed the concept.

He made no mention of the fact that his ability to comprehend the invincible [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] was entirely inseparable from the [Sumeru Great Dao Stele].

Whether it's the unreasonable [Sculpture of Wisdom], the [Coffin of Heaven and Man] that can separate the destiny of the [Sword Array], or the hundreds of priceless [Immortal Remains Jade], none of them can be missing!

If the fourth sister could comprehend the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] on her own with just this one book, the "Chaos Sword Scripture," then Jing Qian might as well have died right in front of her.

He even felt that it wouldn't make any difference whether the fourth brother used the "Chaos Sword Scripture" or not.

He used the Chaos Sword Scripture to exchange for the inheritance of [Nothingness], that incredibly powerful [Hell Peace Token] technique—he made an explosive profit!

This "Chaos Sword Scripture" is not even the fundamental law of the Pure Yang Heaven, and the copyright is not even in the hands of the Pure Yang Heaven.

After the fierce battle just now, not only did the fourth brother set his sights on the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation], but Jing Qian also set his sights on the opponent's [Hell's Peaceful Card].

This method, capable of bearing the power of the Dao, is surely the best piece of the puzzle for him to make up for the defects in his own system.

And so, the deal between the two was reached amicably.

Jing Qian successfully exchanged a copy of the "Chaos Sword Scripture" for a rubbing of the "Nothing to Ask" letter. It is said that the original was written by the "Wu Sheng" himself and contains profound Taoist principles.

He really hit the jackpot!

Afterwards, he even forgot about his mission to block the enemy and ran away back to the real world of [Dayuan] with the "Nothing to Ask" scroll!

He felt somewhat guilty, after all, he had taken a tattered book from a local stall and sold it as the "Forty-Two Chapters Sutra," so he wasn't entirely at ease.

I have a feeling that the fourth guy on the other side is about to expose him and demand a refund and return of the goods.

So, disregarding everything else, he plunged into the [Virtual Realm] and began to comprehend this magical [Totem] method.

Once he has fully mastered the skill and achieved mastery, and the deed is done, he will naturally have nothing to fear.

On the other side, the fourth brother, with his powerful divine sense, had already read through the "Chaos Sword Scripture" several times.

She was somewhat bewildered.

"That's it?"

"Old Eight really didn't lie to me?"

Even though the Chaos Sword Scripture was a secret transmission from the Dao Ancestor, in the eyes of the Fourth Brother, it was nothing more than a crude method of inheritance.

She couldn't see a single thing in this sword manual that matched the "Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation".

How can we deduce and comprehend this?
I have absolutely no idea what to do!
She was a little annoyed and began to doubt her own intelligence.

However, there is plenty of time in the future; time is the most abundant resource in this [Imaginary Ruins].

She can figure it out slowly; there's no rush.

Then, she put away a book and turned to rush towards another battlefield.

The boundless lava beneath their feet paved the way, completely surrounding that battlefield.

The fourth brother has an extensive experience in dealing with the fifth brother!

This time, the other party has come to us willingly, so we absolutely won't let him get away easily; we have to squeeze him dry!
Just as Jian Yi was fiercely battling the third brother and had gained the upper hand in the battle, finally about to avenge his previous defeat, he suddenly saw the black magma surrounding him and felt a headache coming on.

He really couldn't understand how the Eighth Prince could lose even faster than him!

He knew the fourth brother well; apart from being a bit tough and thick-skinned, he had no other strengths.

Even if the fourth brother uses all his offensive methods, it's impossible for him to take down the eighth brother so quickly.

This old man is the real fraud!

Didn't this ruin him?
The thick lava stretched endlessly, completely blocking Lao Wu's escape route.

The third and fourth brothers have once again entered their favorite and most proficient routine: eating, sleeping, and beating up the fifth brother.

Suddenly, the third brother, who had been suppressed by him throughout the entire match, spoke up:
"Fifth Brother, how much [Element of Intent] have you accumulated that you dare to come and hand over the grain?"

"Your sudden enthusiasm and initiative makes me feel a little uneasy."

As they spoke, black magma erupted in full force, obscuring the entire airspace.

After a period of internal turmoil, it fell into complete silence again.

The fifth brother was so easily drained again!
